tion, read at the closing session OF
the convention OF that organization
here.
In his letter Mr.. Bryan said
I'm the matter of prohibition I
think that at present the emphasis
should be laid on the contests In the
States. In some States the time Is
ripe for action. and think 1t is bet
ter to concentrate the forces on
these than to spread them over the
entire Union. However, this is a
matter of opinion and relates to the
policy Of national action at this time
rather than to the principles In
volved.
THE strong vote polled In the
House a few days ago shows how
rapidly sentiment is growing against
the saloon. In the debate over the
amendment good deal was said
about the doctrine of local self gov
eminent which was invoked against
national prohibition. You need not
worry about that. The liquor inter-
ests have no more respect for locnl
self government than they have for
Federal action"

GUN DEAFNESS Pl:ovI.s
A MENACE TO SOLDIERS

London, Dec. 31.-The announce
ment that the British Government
is. to appoint an emergency commit
tee to consider measures for the pre-
.vention of gun deafness among fot-
diers and sailors calls attention. to
an added terror of war which has
been much discussed recently in
military and medical circles.
THE enemy may not deprive you
of life or limb" writes a medical
correspondent, but it is fairly GER
tain that your own artillery will
slowly but surely make you deaf.
Several officers who recently re-
turned on. furlough from the French
front were called up for examina-
ton and found to have suffered
more than a so per cent. impair.
ment in hearing owing to the inces-
SAINT ear-splitting reports of Their
own guns. The exact physiological
reason was usually found in a rup-
tHre of the drum membrane, with
occasionally SCATTERING or concus-
sion of the aural labyrinth
Both the French and American
navies have mede special provision
for the prevention of gun deafness.
The French have several ingenious
artificial contrivances, while the
Americans are said to use a blink
er-like bandage OF vuicanite rubber,
with celluloid shoppers for the ear
holes. The Japanese are also re-
ported to have adopted mechanical
contrivances which lessen the shock
on the ear drum.

LAST YEARS APPLE CROP
Is THE LARGEST EVER

Washington. Jan. last years
apple crop was the largest ever pro-
duced in the United States. Esti-
mates announced to-day by the De-
partment of Agriculture placed the
1914 yield at $50. 100000 bushels
or 100000 more than was pro-
duced last year.
These figures represent the actual
agricultural yield" the department
explained, and should not be con-
fused with those of the commercial
crop, which comprise the marketed
portion of the total production. In
1913 the commercial crop was esti-
mated at 40 per cent. of the agricul-
tural production. Using the same
proportion for the 1914 basis. this
years commercial crop would total
O3.600,000 bushels. The States
leading In production OF apples this
year We're:

ONE HUNDRED MILLION
YEARS OLD, IS EARTH
According To Scientists Of the
United States Geological
Survey.

Philadelphia, Dec. 3i.-That the
earth is about one hundred million
years old Is one of the deductions O!
George f. Becker, of the United
States Geological Survey, presented
in paper read last night at meet
ing of the Geological Society of
America, which is meeting here in
connection with the annual conven-
ton of the American association for
the advancement of science. Radi-
cal activity is confined to a relative
ly thin zone in the upper crust of
the earth, he declared.
The missing link between man
identified in the pithecanthropus
erectus. whose skull, found in Java,
showed all the characteristics inter-
mediate between man and ape, ac-
cording to James II. McGregor, as
sociate professor of zoology at Co
lumbia university, who presented a
series of reservations of skulls and
reproductions of the appearance of
primitive men.
Henry f. Osborne, also of Column
bia, delivered an address on the mi
grafton of human types during the
old stone age in Europe. and traced
several distinct species of man,
WHICH he said had disappeared ut
terly from the earth.
Charles d. Walcott, secretary of
the Smithsonian Institute at
Washington, demonstrated that
huge beds of limstone were the
work of microscopic plants known
as algae, which he said solved
mystery that has long been a source
of argument among biologists.
Iron ore deposits in New Found
land are now known to be the result
of plant activity. according to pro-
fessor Gilbert Van Ingen, of Prince
ton University.

CURIOUS DIVIDING LINE.

Which Is Not Explained In State
iistOries-NOt On a
Parallel.

"'Did you know asked Ben
Vent, of the Ian. ticket Office, that
there is a corner OF Kentucky which
cannot be reached without crossing
the Mississippi river twice and en-
tering Missouri or else by going INTO
Tennessee? Look at the extreme
corner of the map and you will see a
little patch of land about three miles
by six. which belongs to Kentucky,
but is in no way connected with it.
A bend in the river cuts it from
Kentucky. 1t joins Tennessee, but
that State never claimed it because
it would spoil the straight line of
the north Tennessee boundary line.
1t is a typical piece of No Mans
land, which looks on the map as
though it were tackled on to Ken
lucky because no one else wanted
it, "-[Lexington Leader.
1t is possible that few Kentucky
students know that the line between
Kentucky and Tennessee is not on a
parallel West of the Tennessee
river the line is about ten miles
south of the line marking the bank
Of the eastern shore of the river.
Just why this is so is not made clear
in the ksntucky histories that we
have read. In 1880 DR.. Thomas
Walker and others ran line be-
tween the States of Virginia and
North Carolina. By some means
when the surveyors reached the Ten
nessee river they went several miles
up that stream and started the
stakes at given point, running
thence duly westward to the Missis-
sippi. This accounts for the fact
that there is small portion of Ken
lucky apparently ON the west bank
of the Mississippi river. That was
catch question in geography asked
every kentucky and Tennessee boy
who went to school thirty or forty
years ago.
There was another survey made

about fifty years ago in which Prof.
pillsLury, father Of Mr.. William
Pillsbury, of Bowling Green was
one Of the members. The report OF
that finding is now on file in The rec
ords Of the Executive building. The
old lines were allowed to remain
and there was an agreement between
the States of Tennessee and Ken
lucky as to public lands. Many land
patents are issued to this day, and
described as being South Of Walk

BY Renewed Fighting OF
the Armies.
BIG DISPLAY OF FIRE WORKS.
During a Night Of "Steel
Stars Glimmering In An
Ice. Blue Sky"
SLAUGHTER FOLLOWED CAROLS

How Christmas was celebrated by
the armies in Northern france and
was followed by a battle, is told by
correspondent of the London Daily
News as follows:
La Fete de Noel has ended here In
blazing fireworks display for the
Germans benefit.
At 2 o'clock this morning | was
on the coast many miles away from
the battle line. II was intensely
coda night of steel stars, glim-
mering in an ice-blue sky. At such
time sound travels extraordinary
distances. From far away came the
sharp zap of foxes barking now and
again, and the wolfish boot of a
steamer, crawling affrightedly along
the shoals marking the coast line.
Then suddenly there burst upon
the waiting ear the tremendous thud
and echo of big gun at sea, an
swering the snarl of land artillery.
These merged at length into the din
of conflict, SO familiar to us now
that We take little or no notice of 1t.
The battering and hammering
came from the harried terrain north
of Newport, more than usually
fierce renewal of that eternal battle
of the coast which bids fair to out
distance in the matter of duration
the swaying conflicts of Greece and
Troy.
A calm night, a calm sea, and
binding frost united to make a par
ticularly favorable setting and stag
ing for the tremendous exercises
after the feast and flow of Christ
mas day, good for the digestion, per-
haps, but no salve for raw nerves.
The fighting, l learned later, was
fast, furious and bloody.
All the Ger pan soldiers who
could be spared spent the morning
in devotional exercises, sang Yule
chants and carols, the strains of
which could be heard quite clearly
by the other side across the flooded
User. The whole business ended in
a shambles.
So, at least, was the effect of
story brought into the railroad at
sunset this evening by French post
men whose light armored cars dash
ed through the rain (the weather
having suddenly changed from ice
to tears), with their belated mes
sages of peace and goodwill 90
from the front. The tale they told
was of very heavy slaughter.

train of wounded French and Bel
gians, and one or two Germans,
came into the siding by the hospital
These wounded
told the same tale of tempestuous
fighting, very determined recru-
