MARKERS OF GEOLOGICAL TIME

Everyone is familiar with clans and snais, and many acquainted with the pearly chambered nautilus These shellfish represent the three main classes of the molusca of the great divisions of the animal kingdom which has existed since the earliest recognized advent of life upon the globe, many millions years before man first inhabited The cephalopods, the class which includes the cham bered nautilus, the most highly organized of all the moluSca. They breathe by gis and clusively marine. The cephalopods have compara- lively few representatives living today, yet in the past they very abundant the remains of 1000 species having been found One of the sub divisions the cephaopods, the ammonoids, now extinct, but of this particular group less than 5000 species have been described from their fossil remains During past geologic time these in terestng invertebrates very abundant and may have been the masters of the for long period.
 To the scientist these fossil cephalopods of especial value markers of geologic time. They highly developed as to be very sensitive to changes the sea- and hence constantly hanging during the different geologic epochs.
 An interesting feature of the ammonoids is the complete record of the which is preserved in shell Each individual lives in shell which it manufactures by it's secretions. and when it outgrows the portion in which it resides it sim ply moves forward and builds shelly partition be- hind itself Hence the shell becomes chambered, and the earlier portions nclosed within the later, therefore constitute a record of the development of the individual. By a careful study of this and other groups, it has been found that animals in their development go through the various stages representative their ancestors. In the more highly developed animals with which we are familiar such as the cat this series of changes reca pulating ancestral conditions takes place in miniature in the embryo and after birth the animal has only to increase in In the ammonods, however this series of changes is recorded in the shell the animal.-Geological Survey.

THE PREJUDIcEs OF AUTHORS

It is to be hoped that the centenary may lead to a revival of interest in the novels of Sir Walter Scott, an author of whom England has special need quently the of tolerance. Scott of English history in days when religious and civil discord harsher than now, and he aged somehow to do justice to both sides He shows both Cavaliers and Roundheads fine fel- lows, acting according their principles, and how he may distribute praise and blame, he never makes the mistake of depicting knaVes the En- glishmen aligned either side. To turn to his pages from the acrimonious political controversies which disfigure the British press in these days is breathe purer and serener air, and to those Olympian heights the shrn recriminations of Whig and Tory ascend but a faint echo of past con- trOversies.
 Most authors full of prejudces egg is of meat, and even a writer of genius, Rud yard Kipling has lately showed, may have mean and unworthy prejudiceS. ScottS of those large, magnanimous natures that take in both sides and put stress humanity than on the shibboleths which humanity works itself up to a red fury of slaughter.

It forget their party wrangles long enough to cele- brate the centenary of "Waverley, or Ts Sixty Years Since" For really each side means well, if the other would but believe it, and that the great and invaluable lesson which the unequaled of historical romance managed to extract from history.-Springfeld Republican

Censorship Over Cables

The Commercial Cable company makes strong point against the proposition of this government to establish a censorship it's business, proposi ton made with little forethought as the invitation of Secretary Daniels to the Swiss govern ment to be represented naval review
 The business of a cable company telegraph company is as private that of dealer in food supplies intended shipment abroad. Some of it's business may be contraband certain food supplies in certain circumstances contraband. The status of the government neutral is not af- fected by the business of the cable company the dealer in food supplies. Presumably the business of the cable company is legitimate. Because nation happens be at war; there is reason why the privacy of a message between citizen of this be disturbed by American censor. The censor is not a beloved American institution, anyway He is not indigenous to soil.
 We appear be too anxious to please British cousins whose right to cut the German cable questionable and whose served warlike pur pose If the cable had remained intact that would have been of tactical advantage to Germany, but it would have been of great advantage and venience to private citizens in both the United States and Germany

CRY FOR NEWNEss IN MODERN LIFE

There may be no thing under the sun, but there always angles to the old things. and is this newness that the world seeks passion ately We are getting it in multitudes of swlft changes, and is pushing the forward in spen- did ardor. But the main thing are learning IS that civilization that breaks its workers down early casts them aside for victims needs lot of improvement In thirty-three states we now have laws to save the children and that is a gratifying start What further need is the cor recton of conditions that will make easier the lives of average men and women and allow them to grow toward old age with hope and less war. It better because there will be fewer wrecks along the way Safety first is the present cry of transpor- tation. Why not apply it to all the interests and forces of the times? The for newness will be with always-but it is now as it has been. the more haste the less speed.-Editoria in Woman's World

CAMPERS AND SNAKE BITES
August Outing)


 Of all the calamtes liable to befall us on a camping trip that will test nerve perhaps the worst is to be bitten by snake. If this unfortun- ate thing should occur prompt action is imperative Bind handkerchief rope, piece of bandage above the bite; that is, the side the heart by inserting stick under this bandage and twisting it; sufficient tghtness be produced prevent the return flow of blood from the bite wound. This is to keep the snake poison from circulating through the body. If the snake is inconsiderate enough bite you in the neck, such d bandage might prove more disastrous than the poison itself. But, for tunatey. nearly all snake bites received upon the legs.
 After soaking the wound in hot water Qf you get quckly), suck it to extract the poison. This is not dangerous procedure, unless you have a scratch around your mouth. After this has been thoroughly done paint the area with tincture of iodine, with sterile pieces of cotton and bandage. The tourniquet then be removed and the patient watched carefully for signs of poison ing, which is first manifested by feeling of faint If this occurs, the tourniquet should be inn mediatey reapplied and the wound once more viz orously sucked. A teaspoonful of aromatic spirits of ammonia every half hour for three or four doses if necessary will satisfactory stmulant to the heart

DISCOVERY OF CALCIUM CARBIDE

The immense production at Niagara Falls of car bide of calcium the curious artificial stone which. when bathed in water gives off acetylene gas, calls that this substance first manufactured in America by accident through the metalurgical oper ations of T. L. Wilson, near small stream In North Carolina. While using limestone and salt in smelt- ing he noticed among the melted slag which day by day the brink of the little stream graysh white substance in his experience, but thought little of it until one day the molten slag oyerhung the water and began to flow into it. Then suddenly bright, white flame burst out of the molten mass and enveloped it for some time He drew from the dry slag some of the strange mate rial and touched a match to it. but without result Then he poured some water upon 1t, and at the next trial the liberated acetylene gas broke into flame. Thus in 1892 accident discovered practlca- ble way of producing that acet!lene gas, flrst dls- covered in England in 1896 by Edmund Day While experimenting with potassium tarrate and charcoal It remained, however, for the intense heat of the hydro electrical furnaces of Niagara to turn out this wonderful stone in almost perfect purity and immense quantities.

Register Before Tuesday

Registration for the primary and the general election in Arizona will close Tuesday. Later there will be a brief period for supplemental regis raton for the qualification for voting at the gen. eral election, of those who fail register by Tuesday. But those who do not register on be- fore that date cannot take part in the primaries.
 The registration in this county has already reached nearly 14O00 The list contains the names only of those who have called at the county re- corder's office. Only within. the last two three days have registering officers been around to canvass the Not nearly enough of the voters have been registered, We suspect that entirely too few have registered But they have two days more in which do so, and then there will be the period of supplemental registration within which hope the every woman in the county. otherwise qualified, will be enrolled.
 Many voters do recognize the importance of voting at the primaries They see only the prac- tical results-the nomination defeat of some can didate in whom they have a personal interest-and unless there is there is only tagging per sonal interest. But there is moral result of heavy primary vote by a party in which there is no contest It gives the party momentum which car ries it well along through the campaign Many un- decided voters throw their influence the last with the party which makes the best show ing the primaries.
 This year there are no contests in the progress sive party and none in the republican party A heavy democratic will be cast for there are least three bitter contests in party and others less spirited. There will probably be many democratic voters the primaries there will be at the general election, and certainly there will be democratic votes boiled at the pri- mares than will be the general election for he democratic he be divided between the progressive and republican tickets. Probably many dissatisfied democrats will attend the general election all
 The republicans will endeavor to get out a heavy primary vote, purely the moral effect of it. It is life and death matter with the repuD- licans. To them showing the primaries September is vital
 The progressive party in this state as in most other states, has gone through only general election There years ago contests in the party anywhere, and the showing the pri- mares everywhere was weak. The progressves felt that they did not. Everywhere they turned out in large numbers at the general election. In this county they turned out at the primaries in pitably small numbers, that the republicans jeered when the counted. But the progressives far out stripped the republicans the general election
 But year it essential that the progressives in every Arizona county should make display of strength the primaries. If they do so, they will attract themselves the great undecided vote of republicans democrats, and that undecided vote will settle the election in the state and in many oi the counties. It is therefore important that every progressive should be the primaries, and. to be there they must register not later than Tues day.
