CHAPTER XVIII.
Confusion Worse COMPOUNDED.

Confusion Worse COMPOUNDED.
The absolute failure Of EldTidge's
hypothesis Immediately threw public
confidence into profound reaction.
Certainty gave place to complete dis
trust. Rumor gained ground. The
exodus increased Where formerly only
those who could do so without great
sacrifice or inconvenience had left
town, now people were beginning to
cut loose at any cost. Men resigned
their positions in order to get their
families away; others began to ar
range their affairs as best they might,
as though for long vacation. AS yet
panic had not appeared openly in the
light of day, but she lurked in the
shadows Of mems hearts.
The railroads and steamboats, we're
crowded beyond their capacity. Extra
trains followed one another as close
together as the block signals would
allow them to run. Humanity packed
the cars. 1t was like continual series
Of football days. In three Of them it
was estimated that two hundred thou
sand people had left Manhattan. 1t
would have been physically impossible
carried thousand more. They had
reached their capacity; the spigot was
wide open.
Percy barrow showed Jack the head
lines to this effect.
Cheerful thought" he suggested.
Suppose the whole four million should
want to get out at the same time!"
An hour and half after the bulletin
announcing the failure of the search
had been posted, Eldridge rushed into
the wireless Office. The plague of
darkness had lifted after fifteen min
utes' duration.
Call Monsieur x" he gasped to the
day operator. In fifteen minutes, by
rapid substitutions of batteries to
weaken or strengthen the sending cur
rent, he had predetermined his previ-
GUS data. Apparently, without the
shadow Of a doubt. Monsieur x was
within the circle.
HE may be at sea- suggested the
operator.
But Eldridge shook his head. The
circle of the sea had been well pa
trolled, and for days.
Begin all over again." drawled
barrow Il told you that you were
on the wrong track"
Eldridge glanced at him.
Il can't say that you've done much!"
said he tartly.
MOI" queried Darrow, with one of
his slow and exasperating smiles.
Perhaps not. But you'd better get
to thinking. You won't be able always
to take things easy. You may have to
hustle before long"
There has been, admit, said FL
bridge stif1y, repeating in substance
the interview he had already given
out, "some flaw in our chain OF rea-
soning This it will be necessary to
review with the object of revision.
Every physical manifestation must
have some physical and definite cause;
and this can be found If time enough
is bestowed on it. Often the process
of elimination is tho only method by
which the truth can be determined
barrow chuckled
Look out the process of elimina-
ton doesn't overtake you," he TO
marked.

peared. The crowds below read them,
their faces uptUrned. One ran:
Gordon now has surrounded tho crest
of the Knob Station of Monsieur x de-
termined among oak-trees Men halted
Picked company surrounds"
The crowd roared its appreciation
and Impotence "A long pause followed.
Then came the next bulletin.
Search discovers nothing
A puzzled angry murmur arose, con-
fused and chopped, like cross currents
in tideWay. Finally this was hung
out:
mo traces of human occupancy"
A moments astonjshed pause en-
sued. Then, over the vast multitude.
it's faces upturned in incredulous
amazement; over the city lying spark
ling in the MONDAY sun fell the pail
of absolute darkness.
In the wireless Office of the Atlas
Building Percy DarroW laughed.

a Lesson From History

In reading reports that come from
every part of the country, we were
convinced that general business OF all
kinds is bad. The enormous number
of workingmen who are being laid off
without any panic or assignable rea-
son is appalling and there must be
some cause for the present conditions
into which this country has drifted.
In New York the number OF unem-
ployed has been estimated as high as
$50, 900, in Philadelphia $4,000 and
in Chicago the unemployed throng
the streets as never before in the his.
tory of the City. In the three largest
cities it is not an exageration to place

See to it Immediately

the numbea of unemployed at half
million and the aggregate of those
seeking work in other cities of the
United States equally as great. The
percentage of men at work is lower
than it has been for many years.
Capital is idle and business is demor-
allied.
What has produced this condition? =?
If we say free trade with foreign ma
tions, Mr.. Wilson says, "This claim
is made for political purposes. Is
Mr.. Wilson familiar with the history
of this country? If he is, does he
not know that whenever the American
manufacturer is forced into free COM

er, that It places the laborer of this
country into competition with the
poems of South America, the slaves of
Russia, the peasants of Europe, and
the cheap labor of China. Does Mr..
Wilson not know that this fact has
been demonstrated at least four times
in the history of this country? II

Ovr Vast Resources In Nature
BY Elbert Hubbard

The worlds supply of coal will be
exhausted at the present rate of con-
sumption in 200 years. The supply
of iron will be gone in 100 years.
Three.fourths of the oil wells that
once produced are now dry. A hum
dred years ago whale oil was the one
illuminant.
In 1869 Colonel Drake, in digging
deep for, salt "struck lle.
In 1915 Edison sent current of
electricity through a vacuum and there
by confounded the solons who de-
clared there could be no light with
out combustion, and no combustion
without oxygen.
Edison got his light without either,
and thereby proved that light was
form OF energy and that energy was
transmutable into different forms.
Petroleum is deposit. 1t is stored
up fish oil. distilled and preserved
in Natures laboratory. You empty
the pocket and you exhaust the sup
ply.
But electricity is elemental and in
destructable. We use it over, and
like water, it traverses earth, trees,
animals, clouds and comes back again
to our bidding.
Water is the natural mate of cleo
tricity. They go together. Franklin
with his kite and key coaxing from
the skies the secret of electricity,
could only work in thunderstorm.
Electricity has only one love and
that is water. And this love is re-
ciprocated.
The children of this mating are the
arts, industries, the homes, factories,
parks. the ships that sail on the sea
sending out their search lights and re-
ceiving and sending wireless messages
all are born of negative and posi-
tive at:ractions-wool, if you please,
robed on amber.
So there you have it. The supply
of iron is all in sight, and the build
ings of the future will have to be of
materials that are at hand. The
wood is gone but rock is plentiful.
The rocks of the Grand Canyon
could rebuild the cities of the world.
and then the quarry would not be
really opened!
The building material OF the future
will be concrete. The Egyptians
knew the secret of concrete and it
died with them. They built their
pyramids and Colossi of mixed ce.
ment. We are now redlscovering
this inexhaustible material. Take
courage.
The mountains, rock-ribbed and
lasting as as the sun, are nothing but
concrete Gods concrete-mixed,
melted and snlelted by heat, pressure
and time.
Man can supply the heat mad pres
sure, and he can eliminate the ques-
ton of time and make granite in
day. Gneiss, feldspar, marble,
quartz, granite, are accidents of ener.
gy.
Mind--human mind-has now
evolved so that man, in degree,
controls Nature.
And the way he controls Nature is
by loving her, working with her, new
er opposing her.
Man can make pyramids and he
can remove mountains. He can
crumble the hills to dust, transport
them to distant points and there re-
construct them.
But in the making of concrete
water is an absolute necessity. Heat
applied to water liberates energy and
this was the secret that fashioned the

Mary Hawksworth, society dancer,
exhibited at the recent Made in

The costume is made of green
blue cloth and the collar and cuffs
are trimmed with deep bands of as

smartness of the costume.

OLD FASHIONED CAKE
THANKSGIVING

Marble cake, rich but wholesome
cake that held high favor with our
grandmothers, is a good cake for
the Thanksgiving day dinner.
To make it, cream three-fourths Of

beating in each one thoroughly. Sift
three cups of -four three times with
four even teaspoons of baking pow
der.
Stir into eggs and butter alternate
ly one cup of sweet milk and the
three cups of -four. Stir the mix
ture until smooth. Flavor with va
niIla. Place one-third of the dough
in another bowl Add to this one
quarter bar of grated chocolate, one
even teaspoon of cinnamon, one-half
teaspoon cloves and a little grated
lemon peel.
Into well-greased tube pan place
layer of white dough, then dot this
layer with the dark, then another
layer of white, then dark. Continue,
leaving white layer for top of cake.

A Portable Boundary

A Negro trooper of the Tenth
Cavalry, spick- -and-span in his
uniform, was walking on one
side of a street in Nogales, the
Arizona town that is partly in
this country and partly in Mexi-
CO.
A Mexican, walking on the
Mexican side, called. to the
trooper:
You going to invade M.xico?"
No, suh," the trooper replied.
You going to fight Mexico?"
No, suh," said the trooper.
What you going to do?"
We'll, suh," said the trooper,
pushing out his chest, "as soon
as them folks up in Washington
gives us orders we is jist natu-
rally goin' to take this yere bor-
der line right up in Our hands
and never stop with it until we
has laid it down on the other
side of the Panama Canal"
The attorney for street.rail-
road company in a Kentucky
town was examining a skinny
sixteen-year-old negro boy who
had sued for injuries ostensibly
incurred in a collision on the
highway.
"You say" he asked, that
when this street car hit that
wagon you were riding on the
front seat Of the wagon?"
"Dat's whut l said," answered
the little darky.
And you say the force of the
blow knocked you up in the
air?"
"Yas subway up in de air"
well, how long did you stay
up there" demanded the attor-
ney.
