II Lacks the Punch.

Imported limburger cheese, that
fragrant Wand whose slightest Whit
causes strong men to turn away, has
been bottled up in Germany by the
British embargo and thousands Of
German-Americans are inconsolable.
Here in this country the factories are
turning out a cheese which is called
limburger, but although it is rem
iniscent of the winter quarters CT
menagerie and suggests the recently
vacated kitchen of Chinese boarding
house. it still lacks the essential
punch. Real limburger must instant
ly recall lanyard in July or private
drain pipe of a fertilizing studio.
American limburger is lacking in
both particulars. One of the most
reprehensible features of the Ameri-
can product is its complete inertia.
Where the old cheese, over a level
surface and with favorable winds,
could travel half block over night,
the 1915 model barely stirs. Even in

BRAZIL GETS A NEW BIBLE
Will Undoubtedly Prove a Great Aid
to the Language as Well
as Morals,

A new translation of the Bible into
Portuguese has just been completed
Brazil, not Portugal, is the country
where the larger part of this edition
will be sent. Brazil is the greatest of
rtuguese-speaking populations, al
though it used to be said that 10000
users of that language lived around
Honolulu, city in Uncle Sans terri.
tory. Maybe they all know English
now.
Aside from it's moral values, the
Bible is particularly needed in Brazil,
1t Is sad, as an aid to preserving the
standard forms of language. As a
matter of history, no book has exerted
an equal influence in lands where
English is read and spoken. The
phraseology of the King James yer.
sion is interviewer through modern lit
erature. Its general use ON this con.
tinent, where new conditions and a
strong tendency to slang would make
for rapid change, has had a steadyins
effect on our vocabulary.
1t isn't likely that the classic beauty
of the English Bible has been paral
leled in Portuguese. But even a re
spectacle rendering of a book which
has proved it's universal appeal in
every land will help in more ways
than one. Brazil is growing rapidly,
Every means should be used to pre-
serve its moral and linguistic stand

Oriain of the Onyx.

When waters charged with carbonate
of calcium derived from limestone are
allowed to evaporate they deposit their

This process can I've observed at many
thermal and ''petrifying" springs and
also in the formation of staiactites and
stalaguites in limestone caverns. IL
this way large masses of compact car

great beauty. The so called onyx
marbles" of which the Mexican ''Onyx

this way. Some rock Of this class is
stalagmitic in caverns, and some of i,
is formed by springs. Its variations in
color and texture. to which its Orna-
mental character is largely due. are

WHAT RUSSIANS WOULD LIKE
Military Feature Of Control Of Darda-
nelles Doesn't Completely Cover
Her Dreams by Good Deal.

Under the caption, "Russia's
Dreams" Harper's Weekly says: ITO
the Slavic mind the fall of Constan-
tinople will be the greatest military
event in centuries"
Certainly, but the military feature
Of control Of the Dardanelles doesn't
completely cover Russia's dream by
a good deal.
Dream of country whose popula-
ton has increased 80 per cent in 40
years, whose resources in human ne
cessities, such as fuel, food and build
ing material, are hardly approached ~
any other country on earth-dream Of
such country getting a fair chance
to compete for the worlds trade, and
you are getting somewhere near the
size of the Russian dream. Hundreds
of thousands of acres of finest timber
in one forest alone; unlimited oil
spouting from mere pricking of the
earth's crust; vast deposits of all sorts
of minerals that have hardly been
scratched; already leading the world
II production of cereals; labor ct i
entail prices; an army OF 10,t9j,VGO
fighters who fight merely because or.
dered to do so.
Do you dream of great Russian com.
mercial fleets sailing the Mediterran.
can in continuous procession? May
be the English, so-called the nation OF
traders are dreaming such things
Maybe the next mighty struggle will
be between the two great allies whose
gunboats now have designs on the op-
posite ends of the Dardanelles pass
age. Stranger things have happened
and, after all, trade largely makes up

one Of the newer methods Of road
building that is fast winning the In.
dorsement Of the better versed contrac-
tor is that of employing dynamite for

Grading through hard ground or rock.

time and labor. The use Of dynamite
for blasting such material is welcome
relief. Both rock and hard clay may
be loosened in the cut by well placed

Instead of being made of silver
surfaced glass, the parabola consists
of bronze casting electroplated with
gold. This form of construction seems
to have number of important points
In favor of it.
Silver is always subjected to cor
rosion, while gold is not. Further
more, the optical properties of gold
rejecting surfaces are superior to
those of silver in that the gold rays
penetrate thick. foggy atmospheres
much more efficiently than does light
reflected by silver mirror-Popular

In loosening shale and rock to facili-
tate hand or steam shovel work dyna-
mite is also very effective, while stumps
may be blasted from the roadbed just
as though they were being removed
from field to be cleared and cultivated
BOulders also are easily shattered by
suitable loading and when Of hard rock
may be crushed into surfacing stone.
The side bitches as well as the long
outfall bitches can also be blasted In
keeping with the nature of the ground.
In fact, there are no limits practically
to the many uses and advantages Of
dynamite for road building when care
full and thoughtful attention is given
to the work.
Incidentally the planting of shade
trees for roadside improvement and at
Effectiveness is greatly facilitated by
the judicious use of little dynamite.
1t is recognized fact that trees plant
ed in blasted holes grow much more
rapidly and progress more favorably
han those planted in the average spaAs
dug ground.

SAW POLAR SEARS ON sEAas
Passengers on Incoming Steamers
Report Vision Of Whole Pack
on Floating Ice.

Besides "reminiscences of war scenes
brought in by every ocean liner, the
Scandinavian American steamship
Frederick VII had an assortment of
iceberg tales. The passengers averred
at least some of them did, that they
saw dozens and dozens of bergs off
the Grand Banks, and that around
the unsubmerged base of one particu-
larry tall pinnacled berg they noted
large polar bears playing follow the
leader.
Apparently the bears, some o.
which were not altogether white and
thus might have been just semipolar,
had the impression that they were on
their way to somewhere instead OF
Just playing ring around the iceberg
rosy.
Being neutral ship, unarmed, the
Frederick VIII could not do any bear
shooting. Some camera bearers took
snapshots. but no camera bearer
caught bear. Maybe that is why
the camera men suspected that the
passengers who told the bear stories
did not confine themselves to the bear
facts.
