the rottenness that is being I'M

Whether in war or in peace,
the big rascal is after the gold

to use the common cuss as a

Tens Of thousands must suffer

that a favored few may wear the

kinds. But I'll be civilly dog
goned if l didn't add a new one
to my list Last Sunday.
[ was in a neighboring town,
and as the devotional hour ar
rived [ strolled into the biggest
church [ could find, e~xpecting
to spend a rather dull hour lis
tening to the baritone bellowings
of a red-headed Bible-beater.
The preacher got up and
stretched himself, and gave a
tug at his Adams apple, and
sailed in. First off, he kicked
the old Bible under a bench and
read the tenth chapter of the
History of the Civil War.
Then the great preacher spat
on his hands and began to out
line the plan Of salvation as laid
out by Bob Lee and Stonewall
jackson. They we're the s%aviours
Of mankind and the only hope Of
a dying world. The inference
seemed to be that all that talk
about Jesus was mere moonshine
the important thing was to
have faith in Lee and jackson.
Ii a man had toted a musket in
the Southern army and had fol-
lowed blindly where Bob Lee
led, that was enough. His title
to heaven was as safe as a coon
up an old hickory and the ak
lost. All that remained to be
done was to attend the next Con-
federate Veterans Reunion and
get a: deed to the finest mansion
in heaven, with bath and toilet
on every floor and Confederate
Headquarters in the cellar.
The preacher went on to tell
in glowing language how Bob
Lee created the universe and
how Stonewall jackson suffered
for the sins Of the world. It was
all very bong-swong, and would
have been pathetic if it hadn't
been so funny.
The very idea of a preacher,
wearing the livery Of the Prince
Of Peace, getting up in the pull
pit and shooting off such a vol
ley of militarism as that!
[ have no word to say against
the Southern soldiers in, the Civil
War. Of course many Of them
were good men, and in following
Lee and jackson they doubtless
thought they were doing right.
The question Of whether or not
it really was right does not
enter into this discussion. The
point is that Lee and Jackson
got the glory, while the fool pri-
Yates got the bullets. They were
just like the poor common cuss-
es of to-day who allow the cap
tains Of industry to lead them a.
round by the nose. AS industrial
conditions are to-day, the money
lords get the gold and the glory,
while the poor devil gets a bent
back and blistered hands, and
poverty, sickness and death, and
an unmarked grave for himself
and family.
Maybe there is a sort Of re-
ward for being a soldier-if a
man can get himself immortaliz-
ed in the histories and preached
about in the pulpits, as Lee and
Jackson and their kind have

 MT. Kuowlton correlates the Jur- assic flora of AlasFa with that of eastern Siberia and concludes that the land connection between North America and Asia at this early per iod of the world must have been practically continuous. In review ing the character and geographic range of Jurassic flCras, especially as developed in Arctic and Antarctic regions, he states that the wide areal distribution of Middle and Up per Jurassic floras has long been one of the marvels of plant distri- button. The living flora of today, of course, affords many individual examples of wide distribution, such as those found throughout the TrOp- ics of both hemispheres, and oth- CTS, chiefly weeds, that have, large ly through human agencies, spread widely over temperate lands, but altogether these plants form but an insignificant part of the whole flora, whereas in Jurassic time a large percentage of the whole flora was practically world wide ill it's range.

BILL TO ADMIT WOMEN.

A bill is to be introduced in the House of Commons next session which aims at giving English wo- men the right to practice as law yers. It is question whether it will receive the support of the government, without which it stands little chance of success. The mat ter has been fought in the courts for sev. "al years ana the decision to introduce a bill results from the judgment of the Court of Appeals, which in December decided that the present law did not give wo- men the right to practice, and that the only tribunal which could give women such rights was parliament. The grounds for this judgment were not that there was any inherent un- fitness among women which prevent ed them from appealing in law practice, but merely that there never has, in fact, been a woman lawyer in England. The court held that this common law disability was further supported by a dictum of Lord Coke, issued over 300 years ago, concerning those who had be- come entitled to practice law from time immemorial. As old as it is, this dictum is still binding in Eng fish law.

HE FOSSIL FLORA OF CAPE
 LISBURNE, ALASKA.

Peculiar and ahsorbing interest at taches to the study of the fossil floras of the Arctic regions, for they indicate climatic conditions very unlike those now existing there, In place of the present snow and ice and the scant, almost perpetually frozen soil which supports but a handful of depauperate plants, the conditions from at least late Pale ozoic to middle CenoZoic geologic time-many millions of years ago, before the development of nam mals-made possible, at least dur ing certain periods, an abundant and Iuxuriant vegetation, consisting of ferns and palmlike plants that could grow only in a mild and prob ably frostless climate. Although these lands are now so inhospit- able, and hence but rarely visited, an astonishing amouni of informa- tion concerning their fossil floras has been accumulated, and to this knowledge Alaska has contributed its full quota, says F. H. Knowlton, a paleontologist of the United States Geological Survey, in a short paper on the "Jurassi Flora of Cape Lisburne", just published as Part D of Professional Paper S5.
 The fossil plants described by MT. Knowlton were collected by A. J. Collier, a geologist of the Survey, while engaged n the study of the coal resources of the Cape Ltsburne region. The coal deposits are eX- tensiye and are the only mineral resources of the region known to be of commercial importance. A little mining has been done by yes sels short of fuel, which occas- ionally lie off shore and load on a few sacks of coal. This, however, is a rather dangerous practice, as there is no harbor.
 Cape Lisburne is The bold head land which marks the northwestern extremity of a land mass project ing into the Arctic Ocean from the western coast of Alaska between attitudes 680 and 69". It lies 16O miles north of the Arctic Circle, about 300 miles directly north of Nome, and is the only point in AL aska north of Boring Strait where hills above 1000 feet in height ap- proach the sea.

try in the collection which apparently
has not yet been disposed of are the

tween the years 1916 and 1847, prior

bears. This stamp is valued at $500,
Another rarity is the Annapolis five
cent envelope stamp Of 1S46, the value
of which is estimated also at $1,000.
