an extract from Longfellow's 'Hia-

last issue of the Western School Jour
nal This magazine is edited. as is
well known. by John Macdonald. Mr..
Macdonald is one OF the few men in
Kansas who can read Gaelic-even in
the Gaelic characters. The Gaelic
version is reprinted from a late num-
Der of An Dec Creme" a monthly
magazine published in Glasgow.
Scotland, and devoted to the preserva-
ton of the Gaelic language.
Mr. Macdonald says he copied the
excerpt to show how popular is the
author.
The Topeka man was born on the
west coast of Lewis island. just east
of Ireland He came to America in
1866, to Kansas in 1870 and located in
Topeka in 1917 He was superinten-
dent of the Shawnee county schools
from 1877 to 1881 and from 1853 to
1888 Since then he has been editor
of the Western School Journal and
has done much to make Kansas one
of the foremost states in schools and
educational interests.
Gaelic is the language spoken in
the Hebrides. of which Lewis island is
a part" said Mr.. Macdonald today
Gaelic is also spoken in some parts
of Scotland, Ireland, Wales and at one
time was the tongue of Cornwall. 1t is
musical and well adapted to poetry.

MAY SAVE PART OF
ARMENIAN NATION

Washington, Nov. 11.-Information
carrying the hope that part OF the
Armenian nation may be saved from
being wiped out by the Turks was
given to the State Department today
by DR.. James l. Barton, OF Boston,
chairman of the commission for
Armenian elief and secretary Of the
American Board Of Commissioners for
Foreign Missions.
DR.. Barton told the State Depart
ment that tho friendly Offices of this
government advanced through Am
bassador Morgenthau have In some
cases lightened the terrors Of the
prosecution. He said there was hope
that a change in Turkish policy might
stop 1t altogether.
Funds supplied by the American Re-
lief Commission have been spent
through missionaries in relieving some
of the suffering among the Old men.

forced across the deserts into Arabia.

he said Any attempt to bring pres
sure upon Turkey would halt all our
endeavors The protest to Berlin
caused Germany to make a protest to
Turkey. but that has apparently had
no effect at ALL"
DR.. Barton said that over 1000, 200

Breathing from tie Diaphragm.

One Of the principal operations in
respiration is the action of the dia-
phracm and the abdominal muscles.
The diaphragm is a wide, flat-spaced
muscle. which forms the floor of the
chest cavity and separates 1t from the
abdominal cavity. At rest, the dia-
phragm is dome-shaped, with the
curve upward. thus decreasing the
amount of space in the chest In in
spiration the diaphragm acts similarly
contracts ii stretches flat across the
floor of the chest. AS 1t recedes. it
increases the space in the thoracic
cavity. At the same time 1t pushes
the abdominal organs ahead of 1t,
down and forward. And as the dome
recedes and the cavity of the chest
Is increased. air PUSHES into the air
cells of the lungs.
In pushing the abdominal organs
downward; the diaphragm Is assisted
by the relaxation of the abdominal
muscles, This permits the abdominal
contents to be pushed down and for
ward easily and out Of the way of the
descending diaphragm.
In exhaling. the process is reversed.
The abdominal muscles contract, push
ing the abdominal organs against the
diaphragm. AS the fibres of the dia-
phragm relax, 1t assumes the dome
shape of the thoracic cavity. Thus II
decreases the size of this cavity and ac-
tually forces air out of the lungs

Electric Plant Wrecked
The first building struck was a

Arkansas River. From here the big
funnel shaped cloud jumped to the
water and the electric light plant and
then to a group of mills. destroying
three. and with them wrecking the
depot of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad.
From there a path several blocks
wide and three-quarters of a mile
long was cut through the south resi-
dence district. When the electric
light plant was struck the city was
thrown into darkness, which, with the
binding downpour of rain that fol-
lowed, added to the confusion. Fires
broke out In many places. but were
soon extinguished by the drenching
rain.

An Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe

possible to do in this line of Allie

at the State fair at Richmond last
year the orchardists from the famous
Hoods River Valley of Oregon should
have gone into such ecstacies over
them. or that Governor Stuart should
have sampled one and then immedi
ately eaten three.
This beautiful golden fruit with it's

SO long commended: That when Allie

the orchard line, both apples and
mountain mutton. the thousands OF
acres Of land which we have hereto
fore regarded as valuable only as fur
nishing a pyrotechnic display each

at last come into their own. This
land offers far greater advantages
than that which is being so rapidly
populated in the West and more set

efforts and result in an even greater
prosperity to us all
