Stones That Speak and Sing

In the granite quarries at Assuan.
Interesting in this relation are the
musical stones OF the Orinoc0 fnese
are granite cliffs, situated At the
confluence Of the Orinoco with the
Rio Meta. which occasionally emit
at sunrise sounds resembling the
tones Of an organ. Humboldt ex-
planned them As q result OF the diff
ference Of temperature between the
cool morning air and the air con-
tanned In the numerous very deep
and narrow assures OF the rock.
which still retained much OF the
heat absorbed from the suns rays
during the preceding day. He stat.
ed that he often found the surface
OF the rock. at night. 20 degrees
warmer than the air outside. and he
conjectured that these organ tones.
which are heard when the ear In
placed on the rock. were caused by
the outrush OF warm air through the
narrow assures which are partially
obstructed by elastic laminae OF
mica.
French explorers in Egypt. on the
other hand. attribute the sounds
which they heard not to air currents.
but to sudden displacements occur
ring within the stone. Jollois and
Devilliers assume that the superficial
layer. heated quickly by the suns
rays. separates from the deeper and
colder layers. Roziere speaks Of the
formations and extension OF cracks
between harder and softer minerals.
Cordier assumes separation Of quartz
and other crystals from the sur
rounding magma. and ands an an
alogy In the sound emitted by ice
exposed to sudden changes in tenn
perature. Herschel compares the
phenomena to the cracking of an
iron CRATE when heated.
All Of these conceptions and an
alogies. IL has been pointed out, are
legitimate. but II is very doubtful
whether they are adequate, for the
question Is not only with sounds that
are heard only when the ear IL laid
on the rock. In Karnak and Philae
the sounds have attracted the atten-
ton OF persons who we're not listen
ing for them. Cordier admits that
many little cracks would Re required
TO produce the sound. To others II
appears more likely that q fragment
Of stone becomes detached and falls
on projection below. This suppose
ton accounts for the ringing quality
OF the sound. Possibly. however. q
similar sound might be produced by
an internal Observation-Disclosures
Star.

The War An Eye-Opener.

The war has been an eye-opener to
the average American in one way at
least
With all of our greed, graft and ex-
ploitation it is impossible for the or
binary American mind to conceive of the
depths of dishonesty, villainy and gen.
eral underhanded cunning which is ap-
piled in the diplomatic system of Euro
pean countries.
We stand appalled, at the depths to
which they stoop to bring about desired
ends.
The spy system which has been sus-
tanned so many years with such marvel
lous efficiency has permeated every
country and even young girls have been
employed as bait to lead on the unsus-
pecting.
The United States has been subjected
to a deliberate plan of honeycombing
with papers purporting to be edited by
loyal Americans, by posters, circulars
which do not stop at villifying our
country and our government in a man
ner which no one but slow-to-anger
American people would tolerate.
That we do tolerate them and pass
them over shows our superiority and
poise.
That this country is now being in
spected by a spy system which is so
thorough as to give complete informa-
ton as to our strategical points, our
army, navy and the minor affairs of the
private citizen, there can be little doubt.
A network of Vaccination which will
hold together with amazing cunning is
worked out by able statesmen
and carried through without hitch.
Yet with all this foresight and pre-
science, no one reckoned with Belgium.
and no one knew that Italy would secede,
as it were, and join the allies.

One OF the most remarkable OF

The Humanities Versus
the Ideals.
~ on. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. By Frank Crane,

The humanities are the ordinary uni
versal feelings, such as family affection,
aversion to cruelty, love of justice and
of liberty.
The ideals are the so-called big enthu-
siasms, as. religion, patriotism, reform,
and the like.
The humanities are sometimes called
the red passions; the ideals the white
passions.
The great institutions of the race have
been formed and kept alive by the white
passions. These include churches, politi-
cal parties, nations, and various societies
and associations, secret and public.
The progress of mankind has been
made through institutions, embodying
ideals, which we may call the centrifugal
force. The humanities have always
pulled against this, and may be termed
the centripetal force.
Thus. although great ideals present
themselves to men as beneficial, yet in
the carrying out of them men often be-
come cruel, unjust and tyrannical So
the greatest crimes of earth are commit
ted under the influence of movements de-
signed to do the greatest good.
Under the church we have seen per-
secution, ruthless disregard of human
feeling, families torn asunder, opinion CO.
creed, bodies tortured.
The humanities in time destroyed the
baleful power of the religious ideal, it's
dreams of dominance and its inhuman
fanaticism. Plain pity and sympathy
battered down the monstrous structure
of iron idealism. The horrors of the
medieval inquisition and the dark intol-
erance of puritanism had to yield to the
humanities.
Most of the great tragedies have been
the crushing out of human and natural
feeling by some ideal which. once helpful,
has become monstrous. Such were the
Greek tragedies, where men were the vic
tins of the gods. Such were the odious
crimes of the wealthy and powerful Nor
mon church.
War is the colossal force of an ideal.
patriotism. where the check of the hui
manities has been entirely cut of.
1t is supposed to ennoble men and
states. 1t has always been the preferred
occupation of the noble class, kings and
courtiers; because the contempt of per-
sonal feelings and the merciless sacrifice
of the humanities has seemed grand and
royal.
But by and by war must yield to the
eternal humanities. Sheer human SYM
pathies will abolish it,
The humanities are peculiarly of the
common people. Therefore they find ex-
preston and come into political effect
quickly in democracies. In the United
States, for instance. the rule of a reli-
gious party or the program of patriotic
militarism is impossible. We have too
much red passion to permit the ascend
ency of white passions.
"Uncle Toms Cabin" book of red
passion, sympathy for the Negro, over
threw the white" ideals of the slave
oligarchy.
The cry of starving mother, the pro-
test of wronged workmen, can defeat the
apparently resistless power of massed
capital.
One drop of blood outweighs the most
splendid scheme of the theorist.
The history of the world is the unceas-
ing struggle of the humanities against
great ideals which, crystallized into insti-
tutions, have become inhuman.
