How long did General Andrew jack
son remain at New Orleans after the
battle there?
The battle occurred on Jan. 8, 1916
and Jackson left about three months
afterward. The treaty of peace had
been signed at Client, Belgium, on Dec
"a, 1914, but news Of it did not reach
this country till nearly a month after
the battle. On March s, 1915, Jackson
issued a general order beginning, "Al
though the commanding general has
not received official advice that the
state of war has ceased by the rati
fication of the treaty of peace, he has
persuasive evidence of the fact and
credits it at the risk of being mis-
guided by his wishes" He therefore
discharged the militia. He arrived at
Nashville, Tenn, on the 18th of May
following and had public reception
there.

Kindly tell me the meaning of "Iais-
seq fsire," which ! see quoted in the
newspapers.
"Laissez faire" is French for "let
alone" In political economy it means
noninterference with the natural laws
of production and commerce. Those
who believe in '1aissez faire" have faith
that natural laws are better than man
made laws, especially in the realm Of
political economy. The consistent cham
pion of "laissez faire" is opposed to all
statutes which interfere with freedom
of trade. He would have no protective
tariff, no factory acts" no labor leg
islation. no antitrust laws-nothing
which would interfere with buying or
selling labor and its products with per-
feet freedom for buyer and for seller.
That policy, he thinks. would i'm the
long run yield the greatest prosperity
and happiness and result in peace and
friendship between the nations. The
pronunciation is lay-say fair.

Will you please tell me how the mines
at sea that are the terror of batteships
are made to explode?
In size the average submarine mine
is some four or five feet in diameter.
1t is charged with a high explosive,
mostly of the type known to experts
as picrite explosives. The method by
which it is discharged is not the force
of the blow with which the ship strikes
it. The most common device is eXplo-
sion by the completion of an electric
circuit. In order to achieve this a cir
cult is set up with certain gap in it.
Somewhere inside the mine is a column
of mercury, the head of which is at
one end of this gap in the circuit. As
long as the mine remains upright or
roughly upright the mercury is only
slightly affected. but when the pres
sure of an advancing vessel coming in
contact with the mine tits it over the
mercury also is tilted so as to come
into contact with the other end of the
gap in the electric circuit, the circuit is
completed and the mine explodes.

Sioux Falls Structure Topples Over
from Weakened Walls.

Sioux Falls, Oct. 19.-Damage
which will aggregate upward of s10,-
0N0 was caused here Sunday night
when the two-story brick building oc-
cupied by the Mutual Film company
on West Ninth street, near the heart
of the business district, collapsed.
The cracking of the walls gave the
manager and his wife and the other
occupants of the structure time to
rush into the street and save their
lives.
The collapse was caused by a
twenty foot excavation for a new six
story building to be erected by the
Security National bank. The excava-
ton extended TO the line of the build
ing which collapsed. 1t is supposed
the heavy rains weakened the earth
wall of the excavation and caused the
disaster. Most of the destroyed
structure toppled over into the exca-
walton. The crash when the building
fell was heard for some distance.
