The shy Caterpillar.

The caterpillar. though a socisble
creature, tries to keep out Of every
body's way. Some species hide on the
under surface of leaves, others on the
stems or blades of grass, which serve
them as food; others. again, build little
nests for concealment or lie snugly
hidden between the curled edges of
leaves, whi0h they draw close together
until the opposite edges meet. The cat
erpillar is sociabie creature in his
own family. He knows that there is
safety In numbers. and you win find
Whole companies feeding side by side
while keeping sharp lookout for
their bird enemies, but when a cater
pillar is by himself he scarcely dares
to move for fear OF attracting atten.
ton. Even when he Is obliged to
change his skin he doesn't venture to
leave his old coat lying around. The
moment that he takes 1t or he eats 1t.
The caterpillars that live in companies
shed their skin boldly. Only the poor
solitary fellows feel forced to swallow
their old clothes. -London NAH.

A Bed For ssvsnteen.

Probably there is no bed capable OF
holding so many as seventeen in this
country. But such a bed is to be
found in the Mount Tet hut 10000
feet above the seal, one of the Swiss
mountain cabins belonging to the
Alpine club. The bed is really con.
structed to hold only fourteen, but the
day on which party visited the hut
was so exceptionally clear and the con
ditions for climbing were so favora-
BILE that twenty-one members and
friends, besides the guides accompany
ing them. turned up at the cabin to
stay the night The guides took pos
session of the kitchen, and the TWEEN
ty-one sorted themselves out as fol
lows: Seventeen ''slept" on the bed,
three on the floor and the remaining
one in a chair.

That clsss of subsidized papers, whose
hireling editors and space writers have
devoted their energies to misrepresenting
every utterauce and miscoustruing every
action of William Jennings Bryan since
he has been prominent fgnre before
the public, have found in his. resignation
as Secretary of State further opportunity
to malign him.
Opposed to Mr.. Bryan as Presidential
candidate, opposed to him as secretary
of State. this mania of opposition seems
to so thoroughly possess them that they
ares even opposed to his retirement TO
private life, branding him deserter, a
traitor and goodness knows what. and as
for his daring to have the courage of his
convictions and attempting to live up to
them, this is simply crime most helm

own and living up to them will not apply

scruples lessons their influence and tends

Chivalry In Battle.

There was some chivalry In a naval
fight in the good old days of Blake and
Van Tromp, when sneak1ng subma-
rines and barbarous torpedoes were
unknown and naval commanders
"courted war like Mistress"
When the Spanish Admiral Oquendo
declined to come out of the shallow
waters of Goodwin sands to fight be-
because he had no powder Van Tromp
said. i have powder enough for both.
I will give him half NINE"
ut is not only powder need. but
masts for my ships" replied Oquendo.
To which Van Tromp replied. II have
plenty of masts. whole shipload OF
them. and you can have them IL you
will only come out and meet me-"
The result justified the caution Of
Oquendo. for when the two fleets did
meet the Spaniards were so terribly
beaten by the Dutch that Of sixty
seven ships only eighteen reached Dun
kirk in safety.-Army and Navy Jour

EARLY State Campaign.

1t is significant that the Gubernatorial
nominations are seriously considered by
all party people at this time, three
months or more before the primary, says
the Baltimore Sun. Nothing like it has
been known in Maryland politics.
Four years ago, when the first State
wide popular primary was held in this
State. 1t was much later when the Demo-
cratic candidates really got before the
people; and prior to that year, ii was a
rare thing for candidate actually to
make public appeal. On the Republi-
can side, there had been no open fight
for the nomination since the Lo 0ndes-
Malster contest in I8o5-just score of
years ago. As the suffrage lady some
shat platitudinously remarked to Mr.
Talbot during the recent interesting re.
view, there is cause for every effect. y
The cause for the present effect in the
Gnbernatorial situation is the direct pri.
mary. When all is said and done, when
this leader and that have done their dog
gondest in manipulative management
and managerial manipulation; when they
have been consulted, and when they
have agreed to deliver-when all of this
regular political stuff has occupied the
stage for the FIRST three acts, the curtain
rises for the final one and in that all the
John Joneses and Bill Smiths and Tom
Browns from Garrett to Worcester march
up to the ballot box and there, in secret,
cast their votes. And no one knows
better than the political leaders that the
vast majority of the Joneses and the
Smiths and the Browns are uncontrolled
aud uncomfortable in the exercise of
their SURFACES.
All of this simply is to say that. down
at the bottom, the people are the real
power, under the direct primary system,
and the very early start of the candi-
dates ia the present campaign is due to
their recognition of this fact.

INDUSTRIAL

parallel columns.
Capital and labor have always been
glazing at each other over CULTS Of

Industrial Commission attempts tc
bridge the chasm, it will render the
public distinct service.
The farmer has been sitting on the

The love for justice makes the

no authority quite SO commanding as

The Postmaster General announces
a further extension of the rural mail ser
vice by the establishment of 7Io new
rontes to serve $4,000 families. The ex-
tension of existing service will also be
brought about so as to reach $3.50 addi-
tional families. Most of the new rontes
went into operation June-I5.
Enlargement and extension Of the rural
service has been made possible by re-
adjustment resulting in a reduction of
operating expenses amounting to SSH
262. Numerous rontes have been con-
solidated and carriers shifted TO newly
created ones. The automobile is also to
be put into service on many Of the routes.

ELECTRIC SPARKLING.
Light on a Puzzle That Has Worried
Many Car Owners.

Light on Puzzle That Has Worried
Many Car Owners.
It is sad and common experience to
men In motorboats, automobiles, ETC.,
to find that something is wrong with
the spark. Often 1t Is the case that
when the spark plug is taken out and
tested In air it shows up all right, and
will ignite gasoline poured around it,
but when put back into position it will
not work. This Is puzzle to q great
many people today.
The reason lies In the simple fact
that the spark, when it takes place in
the cylinder, has to spark in compress
ed gas, and when In the air it doesn't
1t Is a well known scientific fact that
the pressure Of the gas determines how
far a spark will jump under given
voltage If the spark jumped a quar-
ter inch in the open air and was placed
In vessel with most Of the air pumped
out, 1t would jump several inches; and,
on the other hand, IL placed in COM
pressed air it would not jump more
than fraction of the quarter inch. OF
course the thing to do In the circum-
stances is to get new batteries, and if
SO situated that that is impossible the
two little terminals Of the spark plug
should be pushed closer together. Then
the spark will pass in the compressed
gas inside the cylinder.
If explosion does not take place then
the spark is probably SO small that II
is wholly immersed either In air or in
the gasoline vapor, and to have an ex-
plosion it must be immersed In mix
ture Of the two. The carburetor should
then be tinkered with. The probable
tiles are that a part Of the time ex-
plosions will take place and will be
sufficient to keep up forward motion
at reduced speed. Chicago Herald.

CHINA'S FIRST LOCOMOTIVE.
Willy Old Ii Hung Changes Rebulse That
Was Linked With a Wink.

was Linked With Wink.
There is curious story concerning
the first locomotive ever seen in China.
Ii Hung Chang was given permission
to construct railway from the sea to
his mines upon the condition that
steam power should not be used, and
for several months the cars were haul
ed by mules.
Then Mr.. Kinder and some Of the
foreign machinists secretly construct
ed a locomotive out of such material
as they could find In China It was a
rude affair, and it was never able to
make more than five or six Niles an
hour, but it was great advantage over
the mule teams, for it could haul seven
or eight cars of coal at that speed,
where it took four mules to haul one.
But when the mandarins at Pekin
learned that foreign devils were using
fire eating monster on the railway
they Immediately made tremendous
fuss about it and called LII Hung
Chang to account for violating his con-
cession.
The old gentleman took 1t very cool
" and pretended not to know anything
about it, but he afterward restored
himself in favor by issuing an order
rebuking Mr.. Kinder and his associates
for their presumption and forbidding
them to introduce any more new fan
gled foreign notions into China. Short
ly after he secretly patted them on the
back and raised their pay.
The excitement quieted down and
was soon forgotten. Then Mr.. Kinder
got up steam in his clumsy old engine
again and was allowed to run it with
out interference. Later couple Of
regularly made locomotives were i'm
ported from Europe and have since
been hauling the coal trains on that
road.
