ware is the only State in the Union

such crimes as larceny. etc. Mr.
Downward was applauded at the con-
clusion of his address.
Representative Hall, of Smyrna

eloquent address and said he also de-
sired to compliment the committee on
crimes for reporting the bill to the

address to the effect that "we can't get
the people here that VIC want because
of the whipping post

inals who are afraid of being
whipped remarked Mr. Elliott.
MIR. Downward answered that the
president of a Wilmington bank had
made that expression and he did not
think he wanted to bring criminals
into the State.

His First Taste of Discipline,

Jolliest seadogs our navy ever knew,

Silence, SIR he roared at my first
question, his face red with anger. 81.

What Color Ia a DandeIion7

What color is a dandelion? That
question led Richard Jeffries a search
through science, art and nature, and
his essay ends with the dismal wall,
"There are a million books, and yet
with all their aid cannot tell the color
Of the May dandelion." The nearest
he could come to it was to say yellow
gold-orange," which string Of words
suggests the gypsy name for this flow

Shooting Civilians.

According to the laws Of war, any
civilian who is found with arms In his
possession is liable to be shot without
mercy. Although this seems a very
severe rule, it is absolutely necessary
for the safeguarding Of the whole
civilian population.
The rules Of war say that no men
will be recognized as combatants I'M
less they wear a Distinguishing badge,
which can be easily recognized. II 1t

This particular rule Is 80 stringent
that even a noncombatnnt who tool
up arms to defend his wife against

to be shot.-London Opinion.

When rays Of light fall upon the skin
Of our bodies, which is translucent, the
greater part of them are arrested, some
by one layer of the skin, some by an
other, and still others are not stopped
until they have penetrated the subcu'
taneous tissues. This arrest of the
light rays produces radiant heat, which
has higher penetrating power than
convection heat as generated by a hot
water bag or poultice, for instance.
=. C. Titus in an address before the
Illuminating Engineering society said
that such heat penetrated two inches
or more, while convection heat was ex.
cited principally on the surface.
This Is why electric light baths and
sun baths are so stimulating to the or.
gans Of elimination, especially the skin
and kidneys, and so beneficial In SO
many diseases.-New York World.

more social affairs than the volunteer
