ON EAST SIDE.
NO ONE SEVERELY INJURED
Deed Believed to Be That of Crank
Who Desired to Create Sensation
Report Heard Mile Away-Part
of Ceiling and Walls Fall.

Washington.-A tremendous explo-
sion, believed to have been caused by
some kind of bomb or internal ma
chine, wrecked the public reception
room on the east side of the capitol
building shortly before midnight July
8. No one was injured.
Part of the ceiling and side walls
of the room were blown down, huge
mirror and a crystal chandelier shat
tered and the doors blown open. One
of the doors led into the office of the
vice president and is said not to have
been opened in 40 years.
Officials believe that the explosive
was placed by a crank, who desired to
create sensation. Visitors were al
lowed in the room during the day and
a timed machine might have been left
without attracting attention.
smelled Burned Powder.
Persons who reached the capitol
soon after the explosion occurred said
they noticed what smelled like burn
ed powder which persisted Is or 20
minutes. Elliott Woods, superintend-
ent of the capitol building, Sergeant
at Arms Higgins of the senate and
the head of the capitol police who di-
rected the inquiry, refused to give any
theory of the cause of the explosion
until the investigation was completed.
The capitol had been closed since
dark and no one was in the building
except the few watchmen on duty and
telephone operators.

Positive Relief

The progress of modern medical

forefathers to relieve constipation
are now known to be not only I'M

Ways of the Ant.

A few days ago you may have no.

family washing is futtering on the
line, swarms of small winged insects
WhirlinE in the sunshine. These are
male and female ants, and this is
their wedding dance. so naturalists
say. The husbands and fathers soon
fall and die-for their wedding dance
is to them dance of death-and
their widows. plucking off Their wings
for which they have no further use,
enter the gronnd to lay their little
white round eggs.
Now, a well-regulated community
of ants, strange to say, besides it's
males and females, has a third order,
called neuters. These are wngless
and they are slaves. After the eggs
have been laid these slaves or workers
pick them up, so says the patient OBJ
server, who has studied them through
the microscope, and carry them to spe-
cial quarters prepared for them,
where in fourteen days they become
larvae.

by the workers, who ar. preparing the

time the males and females will rise
into the air. the males, as their faith
ers before them, to perish, and the
mothers to return to the ant house to
lay eggs for a new family.
But still more wonderful story
is told of their use of the aphis or
plant louise, a small soft bodied in
sect, usually of brilliant green color,
which lives on plant juices. The
juice secreted by this insect is q
honeylike liquid of which ants are
fond. To obtain this food they tickle
the aphis with their antennac, where
upon the aphis gives off a drop Of the
fluid, which is drunk by the ant.
There is yet more to this story, for
it is said that some ants carry the
aIhis into their ant-hills, or rather
into the chambers beneath, where
they keep them, feeding them and
''milding" them at their pleasure. SO
these insects have been called the
COWS of the ants.
Solomon, recognizing the orderh-
ness and business acumen of the ant,
gives this advice in his proverbs: go
to the ant, thou sluggard, consider her
ways, and be wise!"

WAR May MODIFY
Open DOOR IN CHINA
Declares Former American Minister
to Begun

Philadelphia, April 30-Theodore
to Belgium, presided at today's after
noon session of the. American Academy
of Political and Social Science at
which the subject discussed was
"America's international Trade as
Affected by the European War" He
led off in the discussion and declared
that one of the most far-reaching
effects of the war is likely to be the
modification of the outlook for the
foreign exploitation of China. ,He
said it Mas going to, be difficult to
dence of China.
Mr.. Marbure's Address.
Mr. Marburg's address follows:
Trade which has been interrupted
by the war will of course revive after
the war and is apt to flow in the old
channels. For example. the effort
being made to supplant German pro-
ducts in foreign markets can bring
only temporary advantage. Unless
stopped by hostile tariffs the cheap
ness of German commodities is likely
TO give them the market again, and
certainly German specialties Will COM
mand market again, within meas
urable period of time after the close
of the war.
Exploitation OF China.
zone of the most far-reaching
effects of the war is likely to be the
modification of the outlook for the
foreign exploitation of China. De-
spite the declared policy of England
for the open door in China for its ter
ritorial integrity and despite the pro-
LESSONS of Japan in respect thereto, it
is going to be difficult to maintain the
sovereignty and independence of
China. 1t is not Impossible that the
Chinese people themselves may bcne-
fit by foreign exploitation. The
serious task of the world will be to
prevent wars over it and TO secure
guarantees of the open door CONNER
cial. The first step for the United
States to take in this direction is to
adopt the open door in its own
colonies. without that there can be
neither logic nor justice in its demand
for the open door in China"

mission. The district attorney in Il
statement announces he will not OPP
pose such Communication of sentence.

ter" His application, he states does
not undertake to set out i'm full the
reasons for his appeal, but he asks

NEW YORK, Oct. 10. - George f.
Staekpole, the lawyer of Riverhead, L.
T., who was stricken with anthrax sew
eral days ago, died in Bellevue hospi-
tai early today from heart failure
caused by the disease.
Mr.. Stackpore S death came after a
rally which caused the physicians to be-
lieve that the most serious stage Of the
disease had been passed and that he
would recover.
Mr.. Stackpole was Il years old. He
was conscious until within five min
utes before he died and told his wife
he realized that death was near.
The unusual nature of the disease
from which Mr.. Stackpole suffered is
common to cattle, but infrequent in
human beings, and attracted attention
throughout the country. This was the
first case in which the newly discovered
serum had been used in treatment OF
human beings, but it had worked sue.
