Two Biblical A..
MIRACLES EXPLAINED
BY PROFESSOR

Philadelphia, Pa, April 1.-TWO
Biblical miracles were explained by
Professor Hamden M. Cobern, explor
err and ~archaeologist, who has just re
turned from Palestine, in an address
here yesterday. Professor Cobern
visited the oasis at Kadesh-Barnea
where Moses struck the rock with his
rod and brought forth water for the
lsraelites. He declared that Moses
knew Of the presence of the spring
and that he had struck the rock in in
d.cate to his followers that water was
to be found there. The explorer said
the spring was located somewhat be
low the level of the surrounding des
ert and is visible only fer a5short dis
lance. The oasis on which 1t waf
found. he said, was very small ant
is still held sacred by the Arabs.
The progress of the israelites across
the Red sea was possible, according
to Professor Cobern, by a peculial
phenomenon which occurs once in a
century, by which the wind, blowing
from a certain direction, leaves a por
ton of the sea bed almost bare. The
Israelites upon their departure from
Egypt, the speaker said, could have
reached- Palestine in ~ days-by tax
ing the northern route, but they found
this barred by Notifications. Enc
mics barred them at Sinai and Suez,
which compelled Moses to take the
southern course at the Red sea, he
declared.

THE DRUG

Drug addiction is very common in
this country, and constitutes a men
ace to the nation, according to an
article in the Public Healh Reports,
which reviews the efforts made to
lessen the abuse of habit forming
drugs and analyses the federal and
state laws restricting or regulating
the distribution and use of opium
coca, and other narcotic and habit
forming drugs.
The abuse of narcotic drugs in
wolves economic, social, moral and
public, health questions. that collect
lively, constitute one OF the most Sc
rio,is, problems before the people OF
the United States today.
In New York and several Other
states, drug addiction IS regarded as
a disease, and these states have pro
vided a systematic treatment fol-
those addicted to the use of drugs
while in Michigan such a person may
be adjudged incompetent and a guard
ian appointed. A law recently enact
ed in Tennessee permits the sale q
narcotics to drug addicts registered
according to the law. Similar law!
exist in other states, but the New
York law fol- treatment Of drug ad
diets is considered the better meas
ure.
The principal shortcomings of tn
present laws r that no method o
enforcement is outlined and no spccl

uae New Wonda.

The words we use every day make
up our vocabulary, and it is a very
good thing that our vocabulary
should be al large as we a possibly
make It. The best way to accomplish
that is to use as many new words
as possible as often as we can Then
we get accustomed to them and they
are part of our vocabulary. But
we must be sure that we understand
their meaning, and that we use them
in the right place. It is better to
choose short words rather than long
ones.

BRYAN AND PROHIBITION.

1t is rather amusing to read Bry
ans letter to the Democratic nationa
committeeman of Iowa relaive to pro
hibition. The Commoner probably
has had an inside tip that the state
will soon be dry, anyway.
Contrasted with this letter is his
attitude in Minnesota last fall, when
he delivered several speeches fol
Governor Hammond, the avowed can
didate Of the liquor interests. Mr.
Bryan was as silent as the tomb upon
the liquor traffic. "a
But Iowa conditions are different
and no gubernatorial fight is at 'stake
1t might be interesting to know
whether Bryan regards prohibition as
a state or national issue.

fc appropriations are made for their
enforcement. a..u"
In order to bring about a uniform
ity of anti.narcotic laws, those who
are interested in the subject should
make q careful comparative study of
the existing laws to determine the
reasons for the inadequacy of these
laws. Statistics should be compiled
showing the nature and extent Of the
use of habit forming drugs, and ear
nest efforts should be made to secure
uniform legislation which will prevent
the misuse Of such drugs.
The solution Of the drug problem
will be well worth the thought, time
and expense required, and all who
are interested in the welfare of the
american people should give their
support to the new federal anti-nar.
cote law, which aims to reduce the
number Of drug addicts and to re-
move temptation from others.

Everyone has heard of the homire
instinct of birds and of insects. but it
Is rather a surprise to be told that
animals as low in the scale of nature
as crabs have a similar instinct. The
experiment has been tried in England
OF capturing crabs, marking them for
identification, and releasing them long
distances from their homes. The
most interesting example was that Of
q male and female captured together
IN q trap and carefully marked. and
then taken long distances away into
another county and released at differ.
ent places far apart from each other.
Later the two were caught together
again in a trap in their original home.
showing that they had not only re.
turned to their home, but had found
each other and had again mated. The
homing instinct had enabled them ia
go from the county of Lincolnshire
back to their original home in York.
