LIFE A CONTINUOUS CHANGE
Much Truth In the Lamentations Put
Up by Protesting Men, Job
Among the Number.

This Is the great misfortune OF LIE,
that It is changeable and never re-
mains in the same state, wrote Luis
de Granada. Man" says JOB, that
is born of woman is of few days and
full OF trouble. He cometh forth like
a flower and is cut down; he teeth
also as a shadow and continueth not.
What is more changeable? We are
told that the chameleon assumes In an
hour many colors; the sea Of the Eu-
rlpos has an evil name for Its many
changes and the moon takes every day
It's own peculiar form. But what Is
all this compared to the changes OF
man? What Proteus ever assumed so
many different forms as man does
every hour? Now sick, now in health;
now content, now discomfort; now
sad, now joyous; now timid, now hope
full; now suspicious, now credulous;
now peaceful, now recalcitrant; now
he wishes, now he wishes not; and
many times he knows not what he
wants.
In short, the changes are as numer-
GUS as the accidents in an hour, so
tina. every one of them turns him up
side down. The past gives him PAIN
the present disturbs him, and the fu'
ture causes him agony.

A Correction.

Edgar Hancock, who was operated on
for a gunshot wound in the sanitarium at
OlneY few weeks ago has so far re-
covered as TO come home last Friday"
The above item appeared in last weeks
Journal. DR.. M. Boyles, one OF the
attending physicians, has called our at
tention to what he insists is very glaring
error in the above statement. He says
the wound was not in the Sanitarium at
all, but was in the iliolumbar region,
about one and one-half inches TO the
right OF the fourth lumbar vertebra. The
bullet struck the crest OF the ilium and
was detected slightly upward, passing
through the hepatic flexure barely missing
the TRAVERSE colon, ploughed IFS way
through the lower end of the right lobe
of the hepatic gland and lodged in the
abdominal wall about two inches to the
right of the umbilican cicatrix. No other
part of the viscera was injured. We are
glad to make this correction and to assure
our readers that the sanitarium was in no
way injured. Flora, Ill.,, Journal.

Aeroplane Darts.

One of the most extraordinary weapons
in the present war is the aeropane dart,
a French invention that both French and
German aviatorS have used with deadly
effect. According TO writer in Field,
the French dart is about 4 ga inches long,
and looks somewhat like fountain pen.
Ii is stamped out OF steel rod; the tip
is either pointed like bullet or sharp
ened, and behind # the steel rod is re-
duced TO the dimensions of thick wire,
the extremity OF which is furnished with
what may be described as steel teath-
ering that acts like the feathers OF an ar
row and keeps the dart pointed down.
ward. AS its weight is only about two
thirds OF an ounce, an ordinary military
aeropIane, which can support over 800
pounds of ballast, can carry no less than
II, 500 darts. They are tied in bundles
of about two hundred each and suspended
from the bottom OF the aeroplane, from
which the aviator can release them by
pulling cord. When one OF them tails
on a man from a height OF 600 feet or
more it kills or wounds him as surely as
a bullet fired from rifle.

Iona Uncomfortable.

The ancient Berbers who still live
in the mountain territory Of Kabylia
were never conquered by Roman,
Goth, Vandal, Arab or Turk. They made
their first obeisance before the fire.
arms Of the French under the second
empire. Through all these millenniums
they have lived in their populous VII
lagos perched high on the tops Of
steep hills. Around them in all d.
rections is zone of trees, with pas
ture above, beginning at about three
thousand feet, and the oft-conquered
open valleys below. Here for unknown
ages the Berber has lived among and
from his trees. There are four sta
pies of life in Kabylia-dried figs,
olives, bread and meat. For miles
there is one amending succession Of
villages set in this open forest Of figs
and olives.

Automobile Toll Roads.

A Texan company plans to build net
work OF concrete toll roads for the ex-
elusive use of automobiles. According
to the Engineering News, the company
will sell to automobile owners the right
to use the roads for $50 a year. 1t esti-
mates that an average toll rate Of one
cent mile will be enough to make the
enterprise pay. AS the traffic over the
proposed roads will be confined TO rub
ber-tired vehicles, with no wear from
steel tires or horses hoofS, the cost OF
keeping them in good shape should be
very litte-especially in State where
no trouble need be expected from frost.
In State like Texas, where there are
few roads with paved surfaces OF any
sort outside the cities, the reduced cost
OF fuel on such smooth roadwaYS, with
the lesSeued wear on tires, should save
the owners OF automobiles much more
than the amount of the tolls. The use OF
automobiles has increased enormously
in Texas from 1910 TO 1913 the regis
trations show gain Of nearly five hun
dred per cent-a greater increase than
that in any other State except Kansas.

ANCIENT TRIBUTE TO LONDON
Fame Celebrates the English City
Widely, Was Old Writer'S
Testimony.

Prof Walter Rippman OF Oxford,
England, has unearthed little known
tribute to the charm and beauty OF
London, which has a special appro-
priateness at the present time. 1t
comes from a description written by
William Fitzstephen, dated ITO
soon after the death OF Thomas
Beckett, and runs as follows:
Among the noble cities Of the world
that fame celebrates, the city Of Lon
don of the kingdom Of the English, Is
the one seat that pours out its fame
more widely sends to farther lands Its
wealth and trade, lifts its head higher
than the rest.
1T is happy In the healthiness OF Its
air, in the Christian religion, in the
strength of its defenses, the nature OF
its site, the honor Of its citizens, the
modesty of its matrons; pleasant In
sports; fruitful of noblemen.
THE clemency Of the skies there
softens minds that they be not fierce
and british, but rather benign and
liberal.
above all other citizens, every
where, the citizens OF London are re-
garded as conspicuous and noteworthy
for handsomeness of manners and OF
dress, at table, and in the way OF
speaking.
81 do not think there is a city with
more commendable customs OF keep
ing sacred festivals, almsgiving, hos
pitality, confirming betrothals, con-
tracing marriages, celebration Of nup'
tails, preparing feasts and Of cheer
ing guests"
