Of $4,000, 900 by the state Of

something from which positive
and calculable benefit TO every
American citizen must result.
How may Il be expected to do
this? What IL the nature Of the
dividends the country may expect

FirstOf all, the Panama-Pscific
exposition promises to be OF as

Shooting Civilians.

According to the laws of war, any
civilian who is found with arms in
his possession is liable to be shot
without mercy. Although this seems
a very severe rule, 1t is absolutely nee
essary for the safeguarding OF the
whole civil population.
The rules Of war say that no men
will be recognized as combatants un-
less they wear distinguishing badge.
which can be easily recognized. II 1t
were not for this. any number of men
could at any time band themselves
together, and say they were belliger-
ents. II this were allowed. therefore,
invading troops would safeguard them
selves against surprises by killing
every man in villages through which
they marched.
This particular rule is so stringent
that even noncombatant who took
up arms to defend his wife against
some drunken soldier would be liable
to be shot

One of the many duties undertaken
by the United States coast and geo
detic survey, which furnishes official
information about our sea coast and
harbors for the use OF mariners plying
these waters, is that of predicting the
tides at any given station at any time
in the future. To gain this informa.
tion a new machine of very compli-
Gated nature has just been constructed
by the bureau and placed in operation
In the headquarters at Washington
The tide levels for year can be OBJ
tanned in from ten to fifteen hours for
any station. To the layman the ma
chine appears to be mass of little
Wheels knobs, cranks, chains and
glttering brass indicators, but the
new superintendent of the bureau, Dr.
E. Lester Jones, explains the functions
of each part and finally arrives at the
roll of paper on one end on which two
fountain pens are drawing lines. One
of these draws a line about the middle
of the roll which represents the mean
sea level while the the other draws q
varying line which represents the
tide. From this graphic record,
which is $40 feet long and about six
inches wide, representing the tides for
a year, the tide level at any time in
that period can be readily ascertained

HAS BRIGHT OUTLOOK
Three Great Natural Sources OF
Wealth in Conquered South
west Africa.
DIAMOND FIELDS ARE RICH
Enormous Quantities OF Precious
Stones Still Lie Buried in Sands Of

tSnecial Cable TO Tho Times Dispatch. !
LONDON. August There Is much
speculation as 10 the future OF the new
British colony in Southwest Africa. The
three great natural sources of wealth
are minerals, pasture and agricultural
land. The mineral wealth has been the
most considerable source Of prosperity
since 1908. The diamond fields form q
rich treasure house. and immense guam
titles OF precious stones still lie in
the sands OF tho Namib. After the dia-
mond fields, the copper fields rank next
in Importance. The follow tin, marble
lead, wolfram. iron and gold. Among
South African mining houses In London.
the belief exists that the British oc-
cupatiop VIII lead TO an influx of capt.
tai and increased mining activity.
Little or nothing has been done In the
way of diamond winning since August
last year, but experts say that now the
conquest of the country is complete,
there is no reason why operations
should not be resumed before long
