Kansas ia forever doing something

doing II very well Women Of the
Sunff0wer state for some time have
felt that If they could get into the
militia they could do a great deal to-
ward raising the standard of the

twenty-fsur young women of Walnut
Grove, Kas., have formed a cadet

The IRISH VOLUNTEERS
Hnrrahl MY gallant comrades,
Sing loud the glad refrain;
Ten Thousand bells are pealing
a nation once again.
Our motherland is calling;
She's wiped away her tears
See, all her sons r. focking to
The Irish Volunteers.
On every plain and hillside.
On sqnare and village green,
The sturdy youth of Erin
In columns deep r seen.
The sunburst bright is beaming,
For banished are u fears,
For many men are marching with
The Irish Volunteers.
"Defense and not defiance"
Our watchword still must be.
Well guard the rights of Erin
From it's center to the sea.
For years long have we suffered
Injustice, SCOTS and %jeers,
Yet honest men are welcome in
The Irish Volunteers.
Our fathers have battIed
For altar, home and right;
God rest those valiant heroes
Who've fallen in the fight.
In days gone by our weapons
Were merely wooden spears,
But rifies now are carried by
The Irish Volunteers.
Let Irishmen be brothers,
And claep each others hand
To work In peace and union
For our own beloved land.
At last we've won our charter
After many bitter years;
Twill now be safely guarded by
The Irish Volunteers.
Then Forward March my comrades
Whatever fate befalls,
Well braveay serve II country
WhereyerdntJ calls.
The welcome cry Of freedom
Now groets listening ears
May heaven haess the yalour OF
The Irish Volunteers.

LOWELL FIXES MANS PRIME.

Harvard's President Tells Graduates
Twenty three Is Mental Maximum.
Cambridge, Mass.-President Lowell
OF Harvard university in speech said
that after the age of twenty three a
mans keener senses begin to lessen. al
though something may be added
through the medium of experience aft
er that age. Z
II believe" said DR.. Lowell, that the
mental and physical maxima are reach.
ed at nearly the same period. A man
reaches his full physical growth when
he is about eighteen or nineteen years
old, and by the time he is twenty-three
he is beginning to lose his keener per-
ceptions. so that this age may be called
the physical maximum. The menta,
maximum is reached a great deal ear
ier than most people suppose"
Speaking to college boys. he contin
ued: "You have reached your physical
maximum and are close upon your
mental maximum You will probably
gain something more from experience.
but your actual capacity will increase
very little.''

Chattanooga. The Dixie highway,
from the great lakes to the gulf Of
Mexico, was given definite form when
the commissioners from seven states
adopted its route. Chicago was select
ed as the northern terminus and Miami
as the southern.
The commission designated west
and an east route between Indianapo-
lis and Miami, but plan was adopted
to connect the north portion of the two
lines with road along the eastern and
western shores Of Lake Michigan and
connecting the southern portion with a
road from Miami along the west coast
Of Florida, thus making continuing
loop Of the highway.
The commission voted to invite Mich
igan into the association to provide the
lake loop and pledged itself to extend
the east route from Dayton, O., north
through Toledo to Detroit.
Among the principal cities on the
route between Chicago and Chattanoo-
ga are Danville, ILL.,, indianapolis, Lou

in harmony with his earnest desire to

improving the condition under which
such transactions are handled.
Already the Inducements of trade

new DEVICE GUIDES
SUBMARINE PILOTS
Indicator Shows Exact Posi-
ton Of Graft Under Water.

New YOrk.-Hudson Maxim has in
vented a new position indicator for
submarines, which he believes to be at
once cheaper and much better than
those now in use. This implement
will enable submarine to find her
own position under water and will do
away with the dangerous necessity of
going to the surface for that purpose.
Mr.: Maxim has applied for a patent
on this. He said that while it had not
yet been granted, he understood it
would be obtained without difficulty
and that the device would enable the
captain of a submarine to find his posi-
ton on a map at any time within q
short distance.
There are position indicators Of an
English design in use in all the navies
Of the world said Mr.. Maxim. ''Their
work, however, is cruder. There was
an instance at the beginning of the
war, where a German submarine.
caught in bay by British flotilla.
was unable to find the way out Of the
harbor without rising to the surface
AS soon as she appeared above the wa
ter she was attacked and destroyed.
My device would enable submarine
commander so caught to locate the
mouth Of the bay with accuracy and
slip out under his enemies. The de-
vice also costs only $1,000 to install in
a submarine, whereas the position indi-
Gator at present in use costs $1,000
It could of course be used on any ship
as well as on a submarine.
Gas to device to enable subma-
rine to locate another vessel without
coming to the surface. there is no one.
so far as I know. who has come any
where near solving this problem. Every
offensive device in the history of war
fare has in the end been answered by
defensive instrument. and have no
doubt that in time to come some one
vii invent reply to the submarine.
But thee Is Is sign of it yet" .4.7.>
Mr.. Maxim is expefimed Ting With al
improved periscope, but was reluctant
to. discuss this part Of his activities
Both this and the position finder, he
said, would be offered to the United
States government as its exclusive
property, and the navy department had
already allowed him to inspect the sub
marines at present in use in order to
find the improvement most needed.

Effect Of Climate.
Washington. - The formal presenta-
ton to the United States government
of more than 400 varieties of roses now
growing in the experimental farm Of the
department of agriculture at Arlington,
Va, took place recently at gathering
OF prominent rosarians from all Sec
tions of the country. The roses were
accepted ON behalf of the government
by DR.. w. A. Taylor, director of the
bureau Of plant industry, who repre-
sented the secretary Of agriculture at
the exercises.
The roses have been growing in the
experimental farm for about two
years. They were donated by florists.
both amateur and professional. living
in all sections Of the country. The
roses are being grown at the expert
mental farm for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning the effect Of this climate on
the different kinds Of plants. Similar
testing gardens have been esta blished
by the National Rose society at Hart
ford, Conn.,: Minneapolis, Mimi; Ithaca.

cisco.
Two years ago the department Of
agriculture set aside about two acres
of ground in the experimental farm
for rose testing. The rose plants were
supplied by various rose growers desir-
ing to have different species tested.
The testing Of rose bushes takes
three years. They are examined by ex.
perts at frequent intervals during this
period and an accurate record kept of
their growth and performance.
