professor laid the end of the neck

examined them through horn-rimnled
eyeglass.
"They are wonderful" he murmured,

He turned away a little abruptly.
They had reached the back of the

Just been opened. A man had crossed
the threshold with a coat over his arm

TRIBUTE TO WILSON

mo man in the Democratic world
today is so entirely governed by
principle and moral sanctions. Presi-
dent Wilson is not merely the first
citizen of the United States, but the
first citizen in the world. He makes
mistakes, no doubt, for lie is human,
but they never are the mistakes of a
political gambler or one touched by
sordid motives of ambition.
Emperor William has made many
men, but his greatest miscalculation
was in regard to Mr. Wilson and the
United States. Incidentally there al
so has been much misconception on
Throughout tie war his attitude has
conformed to the historic tradition OF
the United States on non-intervention
in European affairs, but he realizes
the world has changed and the United
States can no longer remain hermet-
ically sealed.
"The rupture between President
Wilson and Mr.. Bryan will be one OF
the great landmarks of the war. It
Is mercy for the United States that
in the struggle the amiable dreamer
Was defeated by the statesman. In
refusing to yield an inch on the right
of American citizens, President Will
son is defending the sacred work Of
freedom. He will not go to war II
war can be avoided with honor. but
the integrity of the United States is
his supreme concern and it is safe in
his hands. London Daily News.

New Telegraph Code.

A new form of code chart for SIM
plifying the teaching of the Conti-
mental telegraph code has been
evolved by a Chicago inventor In
place of the usual method Of repre-
senting the different telegraphic equiv
alents for letters and figures in the
form of dots and dashes, the charac-
ters are indicated by small and large
letters or figures; the former repre-
senting the dots and the latter the
dashes. For instance. the letter "a"
is represented as "a A." meaning dot
dash. The letter "B" Is shown as "B
bib" or dash dot dot dot. Thus, by
this simple method. the inventor has
eliminated the great confusion arising
from the dash-dot representations Of
the various characters. The letters
and figures are fixed in the memory
of the student as large and small
characters instead of in the form OF a
complicated mass OF letters, figures
and combinations Of dots and dashes.
II is stated that this chart has greatly
simplified the learning of the code.

New subterransan Eaun..

Deep mines present conditions like
ly to evolve a new subterranean fauna
from animals accidentally Imprisoned
and having sufficient endurance to sur
vive the change. At a depth OF $50
feet in a mine Of the Midlothian Coal
field. Scotland. Dr. James Ritchie has
found 13 animal forms. and he con-
cludes that many others may be car
ried into deep underground workings.
These animals were away from any
ventilating shaft reaching the surface.
the main shaft being q quarter Of
mile distant. They are supposed to
have been introduced mostly on the
props OF Norwegian FIR and with the
horse fodder. but some may have been
drawn in by the suction of the venti.
lating fans. The species noted were
the common mouse. the brown rat, the
house sparrow. the great slug. q small
spider. two beetles. two flies, the
springtail or pit flea. two earthworms
and a mycetozoon ON the pit props.

FINALLY GOT HIS INTERVIEW
Death Of James creeIman Recalls Re-
markable Exploit Of News
paper Man.

James Creelman's death in Germany
while still in the prime of life recalls
an exploit of which any newspaper
reporter might be proud. observes the
Wall Street Journal He was in Lon
don at the time Of the Barring crisis in
1890, and performed the unheari-of
feat of securing for the New York Her
aid an exclusive interview with the
governor of the Bank of England.
1t is matter of history how the gov
ernor. the right Hon. William H. Lid
derdale, handled that crisis. He lived
TO see the Barings successfully LIQUID
ated and stronger than ever, with the
financial situation in Argentina re-
stored, the G3,O0O,OOO gold which he
borrowed by means of acceptances
from the Bank of France returned in
due course with the seals of the pack
ages unbroken. The London market
was tided over desperate emergency
with the minimum of disturbance. al
though there were some forty failures
In the stock exchange.
Lidderdale died not long ago, leav-
ing an estate valued at only $4,000.
He was a strong man and an honest
one. But the idea of interviewing him
was so remote that only an irreverent
American would have thought of it.
Creelman had no pass key or letters
Of introduction. He simply went to
the Bank of England. and starting
with the astonishing "beadle," worked
his way up. He was sent from depart
ment to department tO tho secret
amusement of various heads, until ne
actually found himself in the pres
ence of the governor.
But the joke failed to explode. Lid
derdale was long-headed Scotchman,
much too intelligent not to see the
value of publicity at such time. He
was no slave to precedent He gave
Creelman an excellent interview OF a
frank and reassuring character, which
was published in the following Sun
days New York Herald It was a
great scoop; and the London papers
spent money frantically on cable toll
getting facts on their own situation
from New York for their Monday
morning issue.
A precedent was set. and since that
time English financiers have been
more approachable. 1t may be said
also that publicity there, as in Wall
street. has done much to clean up ad-
mitted evils. and to set honest finance
right with public opinion. The story
is we'll worth recalling, for 1t has an
obvious moral which should never be
forgotten.

subject OF the use Of ice. especially
In our drinks.

Of our ships Of the Asiatic fleet and.
on being served with an iced drink,
commented on the delights Of having
cool water aboard. The American Of.
flcer responded with an offer Of a
small cake of ice. which was sent the
following morning. Meeting the Eng

American asked him II he had enjoyed
the ice.

THE DAY OF THE DOLLAR

Americans are not just now con-
scious of being told every morning
what clever fellows they are, as
charged by the Frankfurter Zeitung.
But the American dollar is hearing
every morning that it is quite the
cleverest thing in the money line cir
culating in the world today, and as
the testimony comes from Europe.
Americans must believe it and ap-
pear as modest as possible.
The British premium on the dollar
moved up another notch in the for
eign-exchange market yesterday and
now stands at a good 2 per cent. The
French premium on the American dol
lar is at per cent. The Italian prem
ium Is around Is per cent. and the
German tribute to the mightiness of
the dollar over the mark is ex-
pressed in the magnificent terms of
Is per cent.
II Germany fears that this may
make the dollar conceited, we will put
the matter in another way. The dol
lar remains at par. These other cur
rencies are at discount in gold.
They all pretend to be on a gold
basis but they are not, and Germany
is further removed from a gold basis
than any of the belligerents except
Russia, which never makes much pre-
tension along that line. Their talk of
the gold redeemability Of their. cur
rencies is a pretense and fraud.
They all have large gold stocks in
bank, but note-holder would better
get on the firing-line at the front
than demand gold for his note, and
there is no practical difference be-
tween gold boarded by banks and
gold boarded by individuals in keep
ing currency on a gold basis.
This is the season in America when
exports run low, when imports are
relatively large and when conse-
quently foreign exchange rules high
and gold is often exported. When
therefore, at this season foreign ex-
change sell 1T as low as it does now,
where 1t is likely to go when the new
crops begin to move abroad and the
ordered war supplies have to be paid
for?
How the war will come out other
wise is problematical. But there is no
doubt where its much longer prosecu-
ton will leave the currencies Of Eur
ope or what will be the worlds stand
ard of reckoning in future interna-
ticnal trade.-New York World.

Colonies Of Two Nations.

The loss Of Brazil brought the Port
sguese dominion down from the proud
position 1t held at the beginning of
the nineteenth century. But at the
beginning of the twentieth century she
remained the mistress of a colonial
empire surpassed only by Great Brit
ain. France and Germany. The eli
mate of the Portuguese colonies is.
however, unsuitable for European col
onization, and the colonies have no
commercial value commensurate with
their great extent. The Portuguese
colonies are: In Africa. Cape Verde
islands. st. Thomas, Madeira and
Princes islands; Portuguese Guiana
Angola, Portuguese East Africa or Mo.
zam bique; in India, Goa, Damaun. Piu /;
in China, Macao; in the Malay archi-
pelago, part of Timor. The total area
is 100000 square miles. Of which 1884,
900 square miles are in Africa.
The Dutch colonies in the Malay
archipelago number 100000 square
miles The West Indian dependencies
Of Holland are Dutch Guiana or Surf.
nam. the Dutch Antilles or Curacao
and its dependencies, comprising, al
together. a total area Of 10000 square

Reason for prlsr In Paint.

The linseed oil in paint naturally
resists the drying effect OF the atmos-
phere. and because of this It Is nec-
essary to add something to the paint
mixture to overcome the resistance.
Drier Is prepared for this purpose, It's
function being to absorb oxygen rap
Idly and convert the film into hard.
insoluble product. During this proc
ess the linseed oil is changed into
linoxyn, and the drier continues it's
oxidation until the paint Aim Is eventu-
ally destroyed.
Drier is made by adding salts to a
certain amount of linseed oil which
is heated up to about 500 degrees F.
The temperature is allowed to drop
and turpentine or a mixture Of tur-
pentine and benzine added.
