WAR TAXES IN ENGLAND

Under the new war budget IN
Great Britain, citizens with incomes
exceeding $4,000 will have to pay
an income tax to the government
one-third of their incomes. The linn
it of income taxation is, therefore,
getting dangerously close to the
high-water mark imposed by MT.
Pitt in 1904 in the darkest hour OF
of the Napoleonic struggle when the
income tax on the largest incomes
reached 40 per cent.
The New York World publishes a
dispatch from London showing what
will be required of certain wealthy
former Americans who now reside
in England. Mr.. William Waldorf

The first great English scientist was
Roger Bacon, who died In 1894. The
exact date Of his birth Is unknown. but
It il believed that this year marks the
seven hundredth anniversary. He was
persecuted and condemned and much
Of his work destroyed. SO that the ex-

was centuries ahead of his ignorant
and credulous times in chemistry, me-
chanics and mathematics. Branded as
a magician. he was thrown into prison.
From 1877 until short time before
his death Bacon was immured in a
filthy cell. He is said to have invented
the camera obscura, the air pump and
the diving bell. and he was acquainted
with the uses of optical lenses and the
nature of gunpowder. although the pro-
jectile power of gunpowder appears not
to have been discovered until the fol
lowing century. 1t is said that during
a war Bacon set fire to the chief build
ings in town by using burning lenses

Itacolumite is a peculiar stone which

unite is cut into thin plates, and when
examined with microscope 1t is found
to be composed almost entirely of fine
grains of sand Of peculiar shape. with
indented edges which interlock like the
fingers Of clasped hands. The hexibil-
