AN INVISIBLE WAR.
(st. Louis Post Dispatch. }

(St. Louis Post -Dispatch.)
American inventors are certainly
equal to any demands Patrick Kee
nan Of Denver for instance. has a
scheme to make submarines, perl
scopes and all invisible from above.
He would coat them with mirrors
and the watching aeroplane observer
/ would perceive nothing, on examln-
ing the gea but continued reflection
Of the sky and clouds Also, the
lockout on the fighting top of an en-
emy warship would not be able to sca
the approaching poriseope. The sub
marine would be as invisible as Az
racl nimself.
Good enough. But the idea can
be utilized all through the scheme Of
war. The battleship can be mirror
coated from water line to peak. Burn
ing oil or gas, she need not betray her
whereabouts by smoke The cruiser
and the detroyer can assume a SIM
liar invlslbility.
And, on the battlefield, the guns
and their carriages and the armored
cars and ammunition wagons can be
covered with mirror plates. Enough
mirrors can be made for each soldier
to hide behind.
The only hlndrance is that mercury
is not plentiful. Good mirrors are
costly. And It would be bad luck to
break them in this case, II in no 9TH
er.
However, the mirror may play a
limited part in warfare. One OF its
possible uses, suggested by the school
boy, might be to confuse the enemy's
shooting by flashing the sun into his
eyes.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There
is only one way TO cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condition
OF the mucous lining OF the Eustachian
Tube, When this tube is lnilamed you
have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when il is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

What a small matter to yield your
opinion as to who is the most avail
able and best represents the princi-
pies of your party, to the judgment
of majority, since it is only ques-
ton of men, net principles; but
what a potent thing to go into the
general election, where principles,
and not men, are at stake, and strike
down the principles which, then, al
ways stand between you and the man
who represents those principles and
at whom you aim the angry tlow.
On the one hand you defer to the
Judgment of the majority merely as
to who is the strongest man. and, on
the other hand, you defeat your par
ty principles and policies which you
deem vital to the welfare of the
State and turn it's vast interests over
to party you deem less CON petent
to administer its affairs. Isn't it the
old story OF the eleven contrary ju-
rUrs?
So murrain on a law that makes
primary source of party weak
ness instead of strength, reniing it
into helpless factions instead of har-
monizing and vitalizing its energies
and thereby forfeiting the tremen-
dous interests of great State to the
tender mercies and hungry maws of
a minority aggregation held togeth-

ciples, but by the cohesion OF a COM

its unfitness to administer wisely

the date has been altered several
times, as the earliest Christmas fes-
rivals were celebrated January LIST
and 9th and later, in some in
stances, on March 29th, at the
time of the Jewish Passover, and
on September 29th, at the feast OF

cember oath was observed as Adam

the reign of Constantine, New Years
Day was observed as the day of the
nativity. Julius I, who was bishop OF
Rome during the years 337-352 A.
D., appears to have fixed the per-
manent date. He made a thorough
investigation into all the traditions
concerning Christ's birth and finally
decided that December 25th was the
correct date.
