A LEFT HANDED ARTIST.
Leonardo da vinoi Even Wrote From
Right to Left.

Right 70 Letts
A right handed man In making A
drawing puts bis shading from right
to left diagonally downward. A left
handed man puts his shading from
left to right. This is especially no.
ticeable in the drawings Of Leonardo
da vinci, who was left handed. In
the same way a right handed man
being asked to draw a spiral, naturally
makes what is called left handedn

wise, while the left handed man drawn
the fright handed" spiral. or that
which curves counter clock-wise.
In his book, 1.-THE Curves Of Life"
Theodore Andrea Cook says that a
Sherlock Holmes could tell from the
curves of carpenters shavings
whether he was right or left handed
as right handed carpenter invariably
drives his plane a little to the left
producing right handed screws, while
the left handed carpenter pushes his
plane little to the right and produces
left handed screws.
Screws and corkscrews are right
hand screws unless made for some
special purpose. Left hand screws
can be bought from any large hard.
ware dealer. Coffin screws for some
unexplained reason are always left
hand screws. Man is naturally right
handed. and 1t has been suggested
that this may be owing to the position
- ~ 80 taFf Cd -
tools and weapons have been adapted
to right handed men. This Is true Of
the adze. plane. scythe, gimlet, anger,
scissors, shutters, shears, etc.
The strongly left handed man will
continue to use such tools with his
left hand, even though with incon-
venience. but he In whom the left
handedness Is not a strong bias be-
comes ambidextrous through the use
of the right handed contrivances and
appliances of everyday life.
Mr.. Cook mentions many customs
that have arisen through the normal
right handedness of man. Among
these is the rule of driving to the left
which still obtains in England, Portu.
gal, Sweden and parts Of Austria, It.
ally and Switzerland. This is a sur.
vival of riding days. when men held
the reins In their left hands in order
to leave their right free to use their
swords.
The most notable example Of left
handed artist is Leonardo da vinci He
also wrote with his left hand and
wrote from right to left. So that any
one who wants to read his manuscripts
or the annotations on his drawings
must use mirror. This. according to
Mr.. Cook, is the natural method of the
left handed man.

OUR uNREApY NAVY.

When the navy department needed
a battleship to prevent violation OF
American neutrality by the German
cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich or by the
British cruisers which are waiting to
pounce upon her, should she attempt
to go to sea, 1t had to take the Ala
bama out Of reserve at Philadelphia.
When 1t wanted a full crew for the
Alabama, 1t had to take men from six
other ships. The Alabama cannot get
to her station for several days, and
meanwhile small craft such as de-
stroyers stand guard.
The men picked up haphazard from
other ships to man the Alabama do
not compose crew; they are simply
the markings of crew. They do not
know the ship nor each other well
enough to do efficient work. no matter
how skilled and faithful they may be
individually. II suddenly ordered into
action, they would be at disadvan-
tage for lack of that teamwork which
is possible only with men who have
been trained into a working unit.
By taking men from the six other
ships to man the Alabama, the de-
partment has left those ships short of
men. This action is corroborative of
Representative Gardner's statement
that the navy is $4,000 men short of
its requirements, although recruited to
the full strength authorized by con-
gress. The navy is. no stronger than
the number Of ships it can put on the
sea with fully trained crews. A ship
out of commission without crew, fuel.
ammunition or stores is not an effec-
tive unit of the navy. Since many of
our warships are laid up with skele-
ton crews. we are deluding ourselves
when we believe ours to be the third
strongest navy in the world.

NEWSPAPER ERRORS.

Capacity OF some people for detect
ing errors in the newspapers is marvel
GUS, Also 1t is singular how many
unexpected meanings these people can
find. truthfully says the Pocatello
Tribune.
IL the reporter writes that a man wore
a coat OF such and such character.
some one may call up and ask II the
coat was all the man hadon. To sat
isfy these hteratists, you must enum-
crate item by item the other articles
of attire. or they win accuse you of
cutting off the victims wardrobe.
The reader who digests his paper
in the quiet OF his home feels that
he has shown great briliancy II he
detects an error In grammar or cap
italization. 1t Is one thing to find
mistakes at your leisure in another
mans work, quite another to turn out
high degree OF accuracy and precision
In the haste of newspaper composition.
The banker makes biunders in his
figures. the lawyer draws up incorrect
papers, and the business man submits
erroneous bills. Such blunders are
known only to the few persons whom
they concern. The newspaper man is
like the actor on the stage, whose
slightest slip Is manifest to all and
seems ridiculous
1t would be perfectly possible to pro-
duce newspaper having the same
high degree OF accuracy as the best
edited magazine. But this would either
cost about twice as much for a more
costly force. or else the scope and
Held of tho newspaper would have to
be reduced and less matter printed.

WAS VERA CRUZ INVASION WAR;

An Astoria reader OF The Oregonian
inquiries whether this country did not
declare war upon Mexico when It oc-
cupied Vera Cruz. s'If / am not misin-
formed" he says. .when one country

International law" To which The
Oregonian replies:
All depends on the intent OF the two
parties concerned Lawrence in "Prin-
cipies of International Law" defines
war as "a contest carried on by public
force between states. or between states
and communities having, with regard
to the contest the rights OF states, the
parties to 1t having the intention Of
ending peaceful relations and substi-
tuting for them those OF hostility with
all the legal Incidents thereof" He
adds: "As a rule, both the contest and
the intention must coexist In order to
make a war" He says further:
War must be distinguished from
certain methods of applying force
which are held not to be inconsis-
tent with the continuance OF peace
full relations between the powers
concerned. though the distinction
Is found in the intent of the par
ties rather than in the character
OF the acts performed: in so far as
the power against which these lat
ter are directed Is concerned, they
are exactly the same as would be
resorted to in the case of warltlxe
operations. But the parties to
them do not choose TO regard them
selves as beligerents. and do not
claim to subject other states to
the burdens and disabilities Of neu-
trails. The modes of putting

are of a violent nature, though
they fall short OF actual war. may
be spoken of generically as reprisals

are more properly described as re-

definations. President Wilson repudi-

GEOLOGY. A year or more ago the ac-
cepted Democratic definition--contribu
ed by President Wilson--of the general
industrial depression was that 1t was
merely psychological now we hear
from other eminent Democratic auth
ority-viz: The New York Evening Post
that the Democracy will not be able
TO overcome the psychology of the
situation in 1916. Says the Post:
Expel psychology with a fork, and
back 1t comes. Senator Burton
told the Republican County COM
mittee In this city that the Repub-
licans are sure to win in 1915 be-
cause "the current is with them.
This is only another way of say
ing that the psychology OF the poll
icai siuation is on their side. Few
with dispute this. There Is a
feeling a something impercepti-
BILE yet real, that the Democratic
party is In for a beating. This
belief Is not argumentative. II is
simply in the air. In other words,
the Democratic outlook Is now
clouded by psychological depres-
sion'' OF spirits.
Not In all American history has
there been a more complete reversal
OF political form than in the past two
years. Then there was universal
hope and belief that President Wilson
would do well. Now there is scarcely
more than a pretense, even by his par
tisans. that he has fulfilled expecta-
ton.

pie are likely to require the Democratic
