sT. HELEN A.


 The first white man to visit the island of St. Helena was Juan de NovsE Casti1Ia, a Portuguese sailor, who dis covered the South Atlantic isIet 413 years ago today, and named it St Helena in honor of the, saint whose feast-day it happened to be. The Dutch afterward gained possession of the island which was destined to be the last home of one of the most. ceFe- .brated men in history. Tn 1900 the Dutch were expelled by the English, but later the Dutch restored their authority. and St. Helena was alter. nate1y held by Great Britain and Hol- land until 1873, when the English finally gained the ascendancy. St Helena was practically unknown to the outside world until it was chosen in October, 1915. as the place of Ma poleon's. captivity It was just a cen tury ago this year that the Corsican first set foot on St. HeIena's rocky shores, and he remained there until his death on the fifth of May, 1921, His remains were removed from St. Helena in 184o and were. Inferred, with great pomp and display, in the Hotel des Invalides. Paris. St. Helena is ten miles long and eight miles wide and has an area of forty-seven square miles. It is part of an old volcano.

Why should not nations do the same
 There are combinations of capital 7n this age and even individuals. I1o1ding funds far greater than the fctaI amount ofs4he property of some sovereign states. Why not let some such combination set up the business Of lnsuring nations against pecuniary. loss by any future disaster?
 In one respect. this would pro- mote war It would tend to make a nation that was well insured careless Tn reckoning LIS E4SIxS. E Su sL1le s0l11eL ! hand. 1t would bring in a strong in huenee towards peace namely the capitalist or combination of capital fists granting the insurance.
 Mir. Baldwin dealt more largely, however. with dings which were occasions for war. He urged broadminde edness instruction in schools and homes which would tend to ineulcate respect for the rights of others; the careful weight st5f words. and use of .scourt1y phrase sology in diplomatic negotiations, and he pointed to the work of such com missions as that created by the Carne- gIe endowment for invest igatIng the causes and conduct of the Balkan wars as a factor in arousing animosi- ties
 He said in part:
 Occasions Of war are avoided by giving such instruction in our schools and homes as will tend to inculcate respect for the rights of others, rev erenee for authority. and forms of courtesy in speech and demeanor.

 IA bitter word from some one high in place, or perhaps a writer of literary e1rlin ence, which reflects on the course of government or the character of it's public men, often sinks deep, and poisons the sources or i5i1ternationa1 good feeling.
 Recent factors in world-polit1cs, Of which mention must be made in this connection, are the phiIanthropie as sociations striving to promote the in teresfs Of peace, of which this Con ference has for twenty years been one, and, two have the support of large endowme The World Peace Foundation. with it's fund of $1.00O.- 900, and the Carnegie Endowment for InternationaI Peace.1 backed by funds Of SIP, 900, 900 are new features sof modern civilization.
 An instance has already occurred in which the greatest of them has given deep offence to an Eastern na- ton. The Carnegie Endowment II1- dertook to investigate tic causes and conduct of the Balkan wars. It created an International Conmissi on of Inquiry for this. purpose. It pro cured the participation in 1t Of cfti- zens of Austria, France. Germany, Great Britain, Russia and the United States. The report has the tone Of an authoritative pronouncennent. It finds that many of. the rules of in ternationaI law were violated by each of the 3beI1igerents It says that .co- erc1on intolerance and anti-social rnanagenentf have given to Greece and Serbia a bad name before the world.

 After that Jack Langan,s friends decided to match him against a prom inent professional bruiser named S1anthea. This was an important match for Jack, and as Dan Donne11y, Ireland's greatest champion, was then in Dublin, young Langan went train for the contest. An amusing account is given of Jack interview with the immortal Dan.

 Langan was easily the victor in the battle for which he trained in so novel a manner < and after that whipped all the best men in Ireland and was recognized as the champion. When he could get no more men to fight, him he joined an Irish regiment bound for South America to help the people of that land fight for their independence. As a soldier in the patroit army of South America he had many thrilling adventures, and not a few fistic fights with his conn rades. Upon his return to Ireland he fell in love with a dairymaid, and when she became a mother he had to pay $500 to the enraged father He then went to England, where, af- ter several ring victories he was matched with Tom Spring for the British championship.

THE LIvELY CORPSE.

f-f. ' E g fs4 S < There was weeping and wai1ing in the parlor of the little cottage of Mas ter Savage in Dublin Town. More than half a hundred people, mostly old men and women, were crowded into the room andgoYerf1owe into the adjoining kitchen and pig-sty. Now. and then the ladies gave vent to the
 most 5uneartfly screeches, in which Ihe men joined with hoarse bellows. Between lamentations they wetted their whistles with liberal draughts of the crater and .puffed their pipes. The Savage parIor was thick with smoke ana redo1ent of the fumes of alcohol and sodden with tears: For Master Savage was dead, and the neighbors had gathe cred to hold a wake in his honor.
 Through the clouds of smoke, in the center of the room, sitting bolt upright in a coffin. placed on two chairs one could see the corpse of Master Savage, the occasion of this Joyous outbursts of grief. He was a big and brawny man, and in life he had not be1ied his. name, for he was a savag ge one with his fists. and had whipped nearly all the best men in Dublin: But he had fought once too often, and now he had become the subject of a wake.
 Well might the widow vail and cry aloud, for her man had been beaten in a fair fight, not by some stalWart gladiator of his own size and age; but sby a lad of seventeen, slender and almost frail in appearance. Thus an element of disgrace entered into the tragedy, and the .'widdyf could now and then catch her fellow r1ourners giving vent to expressions of admiration for the lad who had killed her husband. 5
 AS the night wore ons and mid night approached. and the contents
 c+ca and the wafling rose higher and higher, the wake came. to a sudden and unexp end. The corpse, propped up in his coffin, suddenly opened his eyes, gave one curious glance at the assembled company, and then tumbled out on the floor. Ia an instant he was on his feet and let fly with his fist at the nearest n1ourner. Stupefied for a moment with anazement at this marvellous resurrection, the company soon re- covered the use of it's several vocal organs and legs, and, sfnrieking with fear fled the room, leaving the sup posed dead sun, now a very lively corpse. the master of the field.

Within a few days Master Savage was back at his work but, far from being turbulent as of yore, he was ever after the most quiet and subdued son, for he had a perfectly good cof- fin on his hands, and. dtvtI a bit of use for. it. and the mourners had con- stunned much excellent whiskey at his expense.
 EsFoightin', me lads, is too expensive for me- he used to tell his compan- ions.
 The unexpected recovery of his late antagonist brought joy to the heart of Jack Langan, the dashing Irish bered among Irelandys champions for it relieved him of the fear of the charge of nnanslaughter which had been made against him.
 It was just a century ago, in 1915, that Jack Iangan fought his first ring battle, that with Savage, wf1ten came near nfpping his pugilistic ca i feers in the bud. Langan was born in 179S, the year of the great rebellion 1 in Ireland, at Cloncalton, in County i Kildare. The first sound that greet ed his infan ntfIe ears was the popping g i Of guns fired by a company of so1- diers who were attempting to drive out a band entrenched in a building only 9 few yards from the LangA44 mud castle.
 | fs When Jack was thirteen his par ents having moved to Dublin, he was sent to sea in a vessel bound for F9ortuguese ports. He engaged Tn frequent fistic encounters with his ship mates, and at Lisbon he was sui f4cfently proficient with the sfraw 'uns'' as to beat into 1nsensibflity two dusky-skinned ruffians who had att tackled him with sti1Iettos.
 Returning to Dublin. he was ap- prentieed to a sawyer. and soon be came the star fighter among the wor11rnen. It was while thus ern- p1oyed, at the age Of seventeen. that Langan. fought big Savage. The ring was pitched on the banks of the Dub 1 lin canal The bout began early in the afternoon. but the men fought on until it was dark. Still neither man would give in, so candles were brought, and the gIadtators continued the battle. In the dim light Langan's s | keener vision gave him the advantage and he landed a blow on Savage s l j1gular vein which stretched the older and bigger man out on the sod. When Savage did not arise, a doc l tor was hurrtedly summoned, and he pronounced Savage dead. Youna Langan fled from the scene, his heart

WHY IS BAD AIR2
Experts Prove That overheated Rooms Without Proper Ventila- Iation Produce Serious Phys
 ioIogica1 Defecfs.

Air is bad, when it is overheated. when it contains an excess of mois- ture. and when it is chemically com tamipated- This is. the conclusion of 1 the New " York State tCommi ission on Ventilation, as summarized by Pro lessor C. p. A. WinsIow, chairman, in the official organ of the Nat1onaI Association for the Study and Pre- vention of Tuberculosis, the Journal of Outdoor Life.
 Professor WinsIow shows that while it has been a matter of com mon belief for a long time that stag nant air was bad for the body, until recently no one knew why this was so. The New York State Commission on Ventilation has definitely proven 1 them for the first time in history. and will probably prove others later on.
 The first indictment against bad air shows that an increase in teupera- ture beyond the normal seventy de- grees produces serious derangemeut lfof the vaso-Inotor mechanism of the | body resulting in rise of tempera- ture. increased pulse and a lowered blood pressure, with a. corresponding 1 decrease in efficiency, both physica4 and mental. Tn addition to this, over heating conduces to an undesirable congestion of the mucous membranes of the nose thus, possibly paving the way fof@I colds, sore thrOaLs, and at tacks of various germ diseases
 The work of the commission also proves that chemical accurnulations in the air as a result of air stagna- ton, bring about a decreased ap- petite for food which in turn must have an unfavorable effect on the en- tire body. In the commissions ez7 perrin nents, the people living in fresh air ate 4 1-2 to IS per, cent. more than those living in stagnant air.
 These experiments, says Profes- sor Winslow, indicate that fresh air E is need at all times and in all places. While we have changed our ideas as to what causes bad air, ventilation is just as essential to remove the heat produced by human bodies as it was once thought to be to remove the carbon. dtoxide produced by human lungs, and it is now proved also to be essential for carrying away cheni- cal products which exert a measura- ble effect upon the appetite for food. People who live and work in over heated, and unventiIated rooms are reducing their vitality and rendering themselves an easy prey to all sorts of diseases, such tuberculosis, pneumonia, gripps, etc"
