of a political revolution was farthes1

militant and confident that the democratic
party will not carry single northern
state.
"They laugh at the reports sent out
from New York that Woodrow wilson

They point to the Chicago municipal
election as the handwriting on the wall.

US. SILENT ON WARNING
PUBLISHED BY GERMANY
Advertisement Not Officially Before
Mr.. Bryan and No Precedent
to Follow.

Secretary Bryan said yesterday that
tho German embassy's advertisement in
numerous newspapers warning Amer
lean travellers of the risk they ran In
traversing the war zone in merchant
vessels belonging to Germany's en-
emies had not been called officially to
his attention The United States gov
eminent, as far as could be learned
last night. has reached no decision to
take action in this matter
1t was understood, however. that
both the British and French embassies
mentioned the advertisement to de-
partmental officials. though in an in
formal way, and without making any
specific complaint or request in regard
to it.
The attitude of the State Department
is understood to be such that 1t may
take no notice of the advertisement
No Precedent to Follow.
The basis for any such complaint re-
mains to be defined, as some officials
admit that there is. so far as they
know. no precedent to follow.
The usual course pursued by a dip
lomatic representative of a foreign
government in Washington who wishes
to communicate with the American
public. it was pointed out. Is to ad-
dress Il suitable request to the State
Deartment. 1t is admitted, however
that since the beginning of the present
war virtually all the belligerent ma
lions have made free use of the Amer
lean newspaper advertising columns
without reference to the department in
urging their nationals to return to
their home countries for military serv-

A Mulberry Tree Legend.

The mulberry. 'wisest Of trees,' as
Pliny termed it, really Likes" London
and fruits %profusely even in the
grounds OF the Charterhouse, at murky
Smithield. London mulberry trees are
mainly derived from Il fad of james l..
who wanted to found IL silk growing
industry. With the proverbial folly Of
a pedant. the British Solomon intro
duced the black mulberry. disliked by
silkworms. instead Of the white vari-
ETY., which forms their food. The black
mulberry had been planted by Cardi-
nal Pole at Lambeth in 1866, and there
were still older specimens in the gar
den Of Syon House. According to a
pretty Greek legend. all mulberries
were originally white. but Il mulberry
tree was growing beside "Ninny's
tomb when Pyramus and Thisbe died
there. and the blood Of the lovers
turned the fruit to its present color.

DjpIomacv,

When King Alfonso Of Spain is stay

On n occasion he arrived at the
station there and hailed n fiacre. The
driver recognized him. and when his
majesty asked what the fare was said,
For the king of Spain it will be 10
francs" The king smiled and merely
paid the ordinary fare as provided by
the tariff. To that amount. however,
he added Il tip Of the usual size.
A few days later he was again in
Biarritz and also took a tiacre. But on
this occasion the cocher was more dip
lomatic. When asked the amount Of

mo one in time of peace can under

Charles L. Jefferson in the Woman's
Home Companion. I'VE may prepare
for it. but we do not realize what it is
we are preparing for. Military prepara-
lions are quite interesting, ave excit-
ing. Boys and girls are always fas-
cinated by the paraphernalia Of battle.
Never have the instruments of war
been so intricate and sparkling as now.
All the trappings Of the military world
are alluring.
Military music is full of piercing
notes. which set the corpuscles of the
blood dancing. But military music is
not the music of war. The music Of
war Is the groans of wounded and dy-
ing men and the sobs Of broken heart
ed women. Military music is one of
the embroidered wells thrown over the
face Of war to make boys think that
war Is glorious"

Orjuin of the ONYX.

When waters charged with carbonate
of calcium derived from limestone are
allowed to evaporate they deposit their
load in the form Of sinter. or tufa.
This process can be observed at many
thermal and 'petrifying" springs and
also in the formation OF stalactites and
stnlagmites in limestone caverns. In
this way large masses of compact car
Donate are formed. some Of them of
great beauty. The so called onyx
marbles" of which the Mexican onyx"
is Il familiar example. are formed in
this way. Some rock OF this class is
stalagmitic in caverns. and some of it
is formed by springs. Its variations in
color and texture. to which its orna-
mental character is largely due, are
commonly produced by impurities or
inclusions. such as oxide Of iron or
even mud and clay.-Ncw York TeIe-
