To Make Our own Nitrates.
American farmers are now obliged
to pay for imported nitrogen in large
quantities., fetched from Chile in the
form of salt petre. Before long how
ever we shall be making our own
nitrates, getting the raw stuff from
the atmosphere This is already be-
ing done on an extensive scale in Eu-
rope, with the help Of cheap water
mower to generate electricity. The
air we breathe is nearly fOur-fifths
nitrogen, AND of the latter there is
more over any two acres of the United
States than we import annually at
cost of many millions of dollars.
The Standard Oil company is quietly
engaged in making experiments in the
production Of foods from petroleum.
Already its experts have obtained
Gelatin from this source as well as
many other surprising things. They
think they are on the road to wonder
full achievements in the direction sug-
gested.
TeIephOning on n Sunbeam.
Prof. Alexander Graham Bell has in
vented an apparatus for telephoning
along a sunbeam. We may lind OUT
some day how to send a message over
a star ray, and so communicate with
other planets in the solar system.
We are sure before long to find out
definitely whether the moon is in
habited or not. The negative asser-
ton is not proved as yet. Prof. Picker
ing of the Harvard Observatory,
thinks he sees signs of life on that orb.
The telescopes Of today are not power
full enough to descry a man or house
on the moon, but they could see city,
II there was one, or an army moving
across one Of the vast level stretches
called floors which cover nearly half
the surface of the moon.
We are doubtless destined to know
much more about creation in large
way than we know at present Al
ready we know approximately the size
and shape Of the universe Of stars, in
which our own sun is an orb OF only
the fifth magnitude. The universe
has somewhat the shape Of watch,
being a flattened disk with a. thickness
about ont fifth of its diameter. This
disk contains somewhere between 500
billions and 1000 billions of stars, every
one of which is flaming sun The
distance across the disk from edge to
edge is about $4,000 light-years In
other words, ray of light travelling
at the rate OF $4,000 miles a second.
would take $4,000 years to accomplish
the distance.
When such ineffable marvels have
already been grasped by the human,
mind. who shall say what in the way
of discovery is beyond the reach Of
mans investigative curiosity?

This picture shows how the Egyptian woman gets rid of
her veil.
her veil.

The brides veil is a very ancient in
stitution, and symbolical in its nature,
like the veil of the nun. 1t indicates
the entrance Of the Wearer into the
protecting circle Of a new and binding
relationship, which devOlVes a certain
degree of exclusion. The nuns veil is
probable an outgrOwth Of the brides
veil, since it indicates the withdrawal
Of the person wearing it from the or
binary relations of the world, and her
union, as in marriage, with a symbol
cal bridegroom, represented by the
church.
The symbolism and mystery assOci-
ated with the veil have often been
taken advantage of by impOsters and
ambitious adventures, to impose upon
the credulity Of superstitiOus multi
tudes. Yelled prophets have been
common enough in all times, but the
most famous representative of the class
was Mokannah, an Arab, who founded
a new sect in the eighth century, and
who figures in Moore's poem of I.alla
Rookh, as THE Yelled Prophet of Kho-
rassan." His features were always

~ I'D the cave women wear wells?
There is no positive evidence in
the pictures on the ancient cav
ern walls to prove that they did, but
there is at least one of those prehis-
toric wall paintings found in a Span
ish cave and representing nine women
dancing around one lone man, where
some details of the feminine attire
strongly suggest an attempt by the
artist to represent something resem-
bling the floating famrics that the WON
en- of our time attach to their hats
and headdresses with fascinating eff
fects upon masculine eyes.
A complete history of wells would
be not merely interesting, but also
philosophically important, since there
is no article OF dress that lends itself
so much to symbolism and suggestion
as the veil. Its light and semi-opaque
texture, as well as its use for hiding
the face, the most openly expressive
part Of the human physique, give it a
certain mystic air, which has been util-
lied in many of the religious appli-
anees to which it has been put
There have been times when it was
fashionable for men to wear wells St
Ambrose, in the fourth century, de-
scribes the silken wells interviewer
with gold with which rich and idle
Italian gentlemen adorned themselves
in his time
The effect of half conceaIing and
half revealing, which is peculiar to the
VEIL makes it one Of the most valued
of the personal adOrnments of ORR
entail women. Even the MOslem women
who hide their faces behind a kind of
veil called yashmaks, in obedience to
a law of the prophet, are often CO.
qUettish in their mana cement of this
equivOcal vestment being well aware
OF the charm that il adds to brilliant
eyes, seen by glimpses, as through
curtain, and allowing it occasionally to
make semi-revelatiOns of their other
features.
The celebrated mantilla Of Andalusia
is simply large and eXquisitely
wrought lace veil, worn around the
head and shoulders, with an artful
grace, in which Spanish women are in
imitable. In Italy, Greece and other
Mediterranean countries silk wells and
mantillas are, perhaps the most eff
fective part of female dress and the
part in which the greatest skill in per-
sOnal adOrnment is displayed.

concealed and he pretended that he
wore a veil in imitation Of Moses, be-
cause the splendor of his face was so
dazzling that his followers would be
stricken blind on seeing it.. The fact
was that he had lost an eye, and had
suffered other injuries about the fars

ance so repellent that he deemed it
better not to permit it to be seen, lest

The protective properties Of modern
wells against sunburn and irritation
from wind and also against moderate
degrees Of cold, are well known, but
in some cases there seems to be little
doubt that they produce de1eterious ef-
fects upon the eyes. This is because Of
the disturbing action of the lacswOrk
patterns upon the muscles controlling
tho focus of the visual lenses. Some
times, too, injurious dyes have been
employed in staining the fabric. Where
there is trouble with the eyesight a
physician may find that it has arisen
from the improper use Of a veil

ELe0en Heirs to British

Three Peers Also Killed

havoc among the chief families Of
England is striEingly illustrated by
the fact that the heirs to II peers have
fallen on the battlefield. In several
cases these officers have left no chill
dren, and younger brothers now stand
next in succession. Of the Il peerages,
the succession to which has already
changed, the heirs OF nine would even
tually have sat in the house Of lords;
that is to say, that they are on the
roll Of the United Kingdom. These
peeraEes are the earldom of AylesfOrd,

Efforts to enforce the ''anti-ogling' or dnance by the police department yester cay met with some opposition on the par of the citizens. Citizens objected it is said while standing on the streets to being approached by patrolman anc told to move on
 City Commissioner A. o. Lane. in charge of the police department. said that sev- eral persons had come to him and ob- jected to the efforts of the police in the downtown section to keep crowds from congregating on the streets. He stated they said that the streets belong to the citizens and they had q right to stand where they pleased as long as they did not block traffic.
 Others, Judge Lane said agreed that the police should not allow anyone to stand very long at one place on the side walk. as this method was the only way to break up the practice of ogling in- dulged in so obnoxously by mashers when a lady passed.
 Judge Lane said that there was So much trouble in enforcing the ordinance that he had doubts as to whether it could be done successfully.
