Edison on the War,

Mr.. Edison, when in Philadelphia.
to receive the Franklin medal award
ed by the Franklin Institute, was in
terviewed on electricity in war, and
said:
Electricity will play but a minor
part in this great war The use of
gas and chemicals is really the most
effective, if not the most horrible,
instrument yet devised. The Ger
mans introduced it, of course, but
the allies, as Lord Kitchener indicat-
ed in a recent address, will take it
up. And think they will be entire
ly justified in retaliating with gas
tor gas, chemical for chemical.
Efficiency has played prominent
part in this war. Mr.. Edison contin-
ued. THE Germans, long prepared
and long trained, it must be admit
ted, were far the more efficient at
the outset. The use of gases in war
fare was either unconsidered or else
unknown by the allies. In fact, /
believe that ii was never considered,
as it was their contention that such
instruments are prohibited by inter
national laws.
Lord Kitchener is perfectly right.
however. All is fair in war. The
allies can draw from America es-
sentials necessary, if they have not
got them. and with their great num-
bers. will be doubly powerful"
The gas principally used by the
Germans at this time is chloride,
deadly chemical formation, which
vitality affects the lungs, causing eth
er instant death if taken in quanti-
ties, or else lingering death from
strangulation caused by a white
froth which is formed in the chest
and comes up through the nostrils.
Mr.. Edison, though intimating
that this would not be the only
chemical or gas used in dealing
death, did not permit himself to
enumerate other agents or tell how
they could be operated against an
enemy.
mo; electricity will be superseded |
by chemicals" he repeated, land |
as the most destructive |
weapon, will probably decide this
war"

The Better Judge.

Some years ago the Oldham anna.
teurs were producing one of Handel's
oratorios, under the personal tuition
and conductorship of the late Sir
Charles Halle, relates London An
swers. Among the orchestra was the
famous and gigantic bassoon player,
George Seel of tonunder-Lyne. At
the final rehearsal Halle went to
George and, indicating several bars for
the bassoon, told him not to play them
on the night Of the performance.
George was inwardly boiling with in
.dignation, but said nothing. On the
night of the performance George
played the banned music.
When the affair was over Halle went
up to Seel in a great rage and, point
ing to the notes, said: 81 told you to
leave them out, didn't II"
AYE, you did," said George, "but
Handel told me to put them in, an
he were better Judge than you"

BEST SEEN FROM A DISTANCE
Little Animals Fur Is Valuable, but
His Acquaintance Is Not Thing
to Be Desired.

Considered from safe distance, the
subject of this sketch is a very inter
esting animal. The closer you get to
him, the more interesting he becomes.
knowledge of his habits and appear
ance is more or less uncommon, for
the reason, perhaps, that those per-
sons best acquainted with him don't
like to talk about him. He's very in
teresting, nevertheless. He is called
the skunk.
He's strictly an American animal,
although no national songs have been
written about him. He isn't fighter,
and yet he could whip a lion, if a
lion ever attacked him. His weapon
of defense is an offensive odor which
a natural history writer of former
days described like a fox, but ten
times stronger"
Usually he sleeps by day and prowls
about by night. His fur is a blackish
brown with yellow stripes down his
back, and he has bushy tail. The
skunk's fur is valuable, and recently
skunk farms" have been established
to propagate them for commercial
purposes.
In spite of his powerful weapon of
defense, the skunk is clean in his
habits, and his worst damage is to the
farmers poultry yard, which he visits
to steal both eggs and chickens. The
animal is about the size of a cat.
But woe unto him who mistakes him
for a cat!
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1915-12-30
MANY BELIEVE IN CHARMS
Soldiers of the Kaiser's Army Put
Their Faith in All Kinds of
Peculiar AmuIets.

The soldiers of the kaiser are very
superstitious, from the men in the
ranks clear up to the crown prince
Wilhelm's eldest son carries a horse
shoe with him on all his auto trips,
and the crown prince spends most of
the day In his auto. The horseshoe
is attached to one of the doors of the
car and when being photographed in
his auto, the prince always insists on
the photographer taking" the side of
the car with the horseshoe.
The soldiers of Wuerttemberg pin
their faith upon little bag containing
the dry pollen of flowers, which, they
believe, has the power of warding off
the bullets.
The Saxons sew into the lining of
their waistcoats the wings Of a bat,
and think themselves to be invincible
The Bavarians hold on tenaciously
to a still more bizarre custom. Be-
fore going into battle each soldier
finds a birch tree, cuts his skin, and
lets few drops of blood fall upon the
tree. This ceremony, they assert, as
sures recovery, no matter what the
nature of the wound, when the leaves
begin to grow again.

With the Solid Clans.

One essential fact about northern
Albanian clans is that they have re-
NAMED exactly as they were when the
Norman Crusaders landed on their
coasts from southern Italy and rode
along the ruinous Roman road that
still leads to Constantinople.
Their SHOWS and their poverty, their
strange tongue and their habits of
rapine, have been the amber that has
preserved the prehistoric fly.
II a novelist or historian wished
to plunge himself into the atmosphere
OF the Dark Ages at some period after
the barbarian invasion and before the
full recovery of the power Of the
church he could not do better than
spend a year among the Mirdites or
the Malessori.
They profess Just such a nominal
Catholicism as reigned in Europe be-
fore the superstitions of the primitive
north had been partly dissolved in
baptismal water.
They hold their faith with the same
partisan intensity which made Arians
or Catholics of Goths and Vandals be-
fore they were Christians. ..
The one social fact iii their lives is
the solidarity of the clan.
