the deep waters Of the oceans and
their beds. and he. as scientist and

petition which lasted for upwards
OF three years. Upon return Of the
expedition, through some unfortunate
and unexplainable reason, the British
government refused to provide suffi-

the results of the research. Sir
John did this at his own expense and

When Sir John had finished his
labors in this connection he immedi-

ARKANSAS BEING DEVAS-
 TED OF STOCK RAPIDLY
Corn Crop Reported Good Where In- tensified Farming Was Followed Generally Short Throughout
 Entire State this Year

Little Rock, Aug. 5.-To steal an ear of corn in most sections of Ark ansas will this year constitute a fel- ony, and one convicted of such crime will be immediately confined within the walls of the penitentiary for no county will run the risk of housing the culprit and having to feed him with rations as short as they will be. In contemplation of the lack of feed for the winter months, Arkansas is being devasted of stock as rapidly as it can be moved to market Even the razorback that has never asked for helping of corn, and which resorted to mast when it could not negotiate the distance over, under or through a fence, is crowded into the cars which carry him to the bacon factory.
 The method of farming, and farm management which has kept the state back is largely responsible for the present shortage, for in many locali- ties where intensified farming was followed, the corn crop will be good, and the farmers will reap the hat- vest of S1 corn.
 The Little Rock correspondent of the News journeyed inland for some miles in North Arkansas during the past week. On Sunday he stopped for dinner in a very prosperous rural community Chicken and potatoes were the only home grown contribu- tions to the meal. Canned kraut came from Michigan. There was corn meal and flour from Kansas. Canned beans came from Illinois, and the canned fruit was Tabled as though it came from California, but it had the Arkansas flavor. Chickens was all this farmer had to send to market. Instead of taking them to market himself, he sold them to peddler for tinware at price rediculously cheap. Even at that the farmer was prosper ous and his home was one of apparent luXury-or would be so considered if it were in a city. This is but anoth- CT tribute to the greatness of the Ark ansas soil, which will make a living for it's owner, whether it is worked or not, and whether it is rained upon or not.

 War against Germany
All Europe in Arms.

All Europe is in arms,-Austria- Hungary and Germany on one side. Russia, France, Great Britain, Servia and Montenegro on the other. Italy has declared neutrality, but is mobi- lizing. Belgium, Holland and Switz- erland have mobilized. The Germans demanded that Belgium permit the free passage of German troops through Belgium and were answered by hasty preparations to resist such advances across Belgium territory. Sweden has made no answer to the inquiries from Russia and Germany regarding her attitude, but Sweden is preparing to defend her neutrality.
 Japan is making ready to live up to her alliance with Great Britain. Spain is reported to be preparing a proclamation of neutrality. Austria Hungary for the moment has retired from her campaign against Servia, for the purpose of holding back Rus sia, and Servia is mobilizing with the reported intention of invading Boisna

Shine. Bird of MYSterY.

Very little is really known about the
snipe. That he is extremely interest
ing, both naturalists and sportsmen
agree; that he is mysterious, nobody
who has attempted to make the slight
est study of his ways and habits Will
deny, for like the wind. one cannot
tell whence he cometh, Or whittier
he goeth, neither can one say why
he comes or why ne goes, says writ
er in Country Life. On a given bog
one may find plenty OF snipe today,
and yet tomorrow hunt in vain for a
single bird, and this even when no at
mospheric change has occurred. The
more one studies this bird the more
one realizes how very little one really
knows about him. The snipe is
unique in his habit CT drumming or
bleating, as it is sometimes called.
The means by which the sound is
produced is one of the most discussed
subjects in ornithology.

DENIES THEORY OF LOMBROS0
Equally High Authority Asserts That
There ls No Distinct Type
OF Criminal

DIR. Charles Goring is the LATEST
criminologist to combat the theories
OF Lombroso and TO assert that there
is no such thing as criminal type.
Dr. Goring admits that there are some
persons who are naturally criminals.
but he denies that their criminaiity
shows itself by physical stigmata.
Seeing that crlminality Is purely ar
tif1cial distinction, it is hard to under
stand why nature should aid in the
classification. Our social system has
seen fit to select a small number OF
the almost innumerable ways OF be-
ing wicked and to label them as GRIM
inal. The other ways are not labeled
as criminal, although they may actual
ly involve a much greater moral tur.
pitude. 1t is not the function of so
ciety to prevent people from being
wicked, but only to prevent them from
being wicked in such ways as are
particularly periodical to the rest OF
the community. There was a time
when it was criminal to read the Bible
1t Is still criminal to do some things
of which the moral sense may highly
approve. We can hardly expect ma
ture to give her sanction to our arti
fetal distinctions.
