4 Russian Patriot.

Perhaps the most significant sin
gle event in the warfare against
drink since the world began was the
national prohibition of intoxicants
by Russia. There was grain enough
for bread or vodka, but not for both;
so the nation, as a war measure, de-
termined to have bread for the SOL
diers and the people. and let the
vodka go.
Fortunately, there is cause deep
er than that Of physical efficiency
back of this banishment of the ma
tion's drink. 1t is deep-seated,
conscientious conviction of the peo-
pie that vodka was sin and crime
against God and men, and that its
removal on moral and religious
grounds was necessary. One of the
greatest moral figures in the his
tory of the world is Michael D..
who was poor peasant,
sel:-educated and possessing an in
tense love for man and for Christ
his Savior. He grew rich, and ten
ant on one of his farms, an excellent
man ordinarily, crazed by vodka,
murdered his wife. The tragedy so
affected Mr.. Tchelisheff that he swore
eternal vengeance against vodka, and
determined to devote his life to its
destruction. AS alderman. mayor OF
the city and member of the Duma, he
used his ability and craftsmanship
III behalf of restrictive measures
against alcohol, in most Of which,
however. he was defeated by the bu-
reaucracy. When the war broke out
this patriot and reformer claimed an
audience with the Car, and by his
personal influence largely brought
about, first, the temporary expulsion
of vodka and then its abolition and
that of all intoxicants during the
war period.

Gun Cotton.

Sir William Ramsay, the noted
British chemist, defines cotton as gun
cotton, and says that it is the only
material which is in use for propul-
sive ammunition; that other explo-
sives, such as picric acid and trinitro-
toluine, if fred lin" a gun would
burst it. They may be used as fill
ings for shells, for they are stable
enough to be fired from a gun
without exploding until, when they
reach their mark, the detonator OF
the shell explodes them. This is done
either by means of time fuse or by
impact with some object. He is of
the opinion that much cotton has
been delivered at Genoa, Italy, en-
route for Holland. This would mean
that it would pass through Switzer-
land and Germany, and he finds it
hard to believe that any of our Amer
lean cotton reaches the Dutch con-
News.

The committee has surveyor in all

men, however, responsible for
Lloyd's Register are separate body
from the great insurance corporation
known as "Lloyd's," which is virtual
ly a business club.
AS the underwriters in the early
days at Lloyd's desired to know the
condition of ships before effecting an
insurance of the vessels or their car
goes. they engaged captains to in
spect the ships. If vessel was
sound in hull it was placed in Glass
A. If satisfactory in equipment,
which in the bygone days of wooden
sailing vessels included sails and
ropes, it was classed Al. Since iron
and steel superseded wood in the
construction Of vessels, different
classification has become necessary,
and 100 Al" is the highest class
for we'll constructed and equipped
steamships. Second class vessels are
designated at 80 AL" and ships
with good hull. but not efficient
equipment, figure in class A.

OPPOSE LANDING OF AMERICANS.
Saws He Will Use Entire Forces Cn'

Nogales, Sonora, June 19.-Gover-

statement today that the entire force

American marines on the west coast

VERY FEW LIVE LONG.
And Why This is True of Those Who
Live in the Present.

Scientists who see today how few
people live to be 100 years old find
themselves at loss to explain how
Methuselah managed to live 969
years, while Noah reached the re-
spectacle age Of 595 years. Recent
ly, however, a discovery has been
made which helps to explain this
mystery, says the Washington Post.
When the causes Of short life now
adays are counted up it is found that
most of the deaths are due to dis,
ease. Very few people die from old
from any one disease is that they
from and one disease is that they
have been weakened by other illness
es which they have had or which
have been handed down to them by
their ancestors. For example, one
widespread social scourge which
weakens the constitution Of many
men and women was probably un-
known in primitive times.
To some Of these diseases the hu-
man race has become so accustomed
that it is immune. Measles will kill
of a whole Indian tribe, but among
the white races it is only an annoy
ing childhood malady. But the va
riations of disease increase far more
rapidly than the immunity.
Noah and the patriarchs didn't
have nearly as many different kinds
of diseases to face because they had
not had enough ancestors to hand
them down a variety. Consequently
their constitutions were not constant
ly being weakened as are ours to-
day. For example, there is no refer
ence in very ancient literatures to a
cold in the head. The Greeks and
Romans seem to have been the first
peoples to suffer from it.
The real reason why the patriarchs
lived longer than we do now was be-
cause in those days the fount ofshu-
manity was fresher. While immun-
ity to certain diseases has been hand
ed down to us by our parents, we
have also received the weakened VI
tality which was theirs as a result
of their fight against disease. Sooner
or later the race will become immune
to tuberculosis, but with that i'm
munity will come the diminished
power as a result Of mankind's long
fight against the white plague.

asked.

Tommy's hand dived into the pock-

rated two pennies from bunch OF
strings, a penknife, some marbles
and pieces of chalk.

WHITAKER FOUND GUILTY.
Gets = Years. Appeals.-Girl Again
Refuses to Wed Him.

Lexington, June 1S.-"Guilty" was
the verdict of the jury in the case OF
the State against Godfrey E. Whitak-
er. a young man of the Swansea Sec
ton of this county, who was charged
with wronging the 17-year-old daugh-
ter of a we'll known Lexington county
farmer. 1t took the jury less than
ten minutes to reach a verdict. Judge
Gary promptly overruled motion for
a new trial and imposed sentence
of two years on the defendant The
case was appealed, the young man
giving bond in the sum of 1000.
This was one of the most interest
ing cases ever tried in the county
because of the prominence of the par
ties connected, and because Of the un-
usualneSs of the circumstances and
the position taken by the defence.
Four proffers of marriage were made
by the defendant during the progress
Of the trial. one at the conclusion of
the States case yesterday; one be-
fore the case was given to the jury;
one at the conclusion of the speech
of defendants counsel, and the
fourth Immediately after the verdict
was rendered. Each time the young
woman turned down. the PROPOSE
ton, upon the ground, she said. that
the defendant was not sincere in his
intentions; that he did not offer to
marry her until after the warrant for
his arrest had been made.
In pronouncing. sentence Judge
Gary departed from his usual GUS
tom, and took occasion to lecture the
defendant. Judge Gary said in part:
Godfrey E. Whitaker, jury of your
county has found you guilty of ruin
ing a young girl under a promise OF
marriage. Under the testimony in
this case | heartily concur in their
findings. l do not wish to add any
thing unnecessarily to your trouble
or to harrow your feelings, but l
wish to say this: That there is moth
ing more despicable than for strong
man to entice a young girl from the
path of virtue and then desert her
in her hour of trouble. 1t is true
that after the law reached out its
hand for you, you have offered to
marry her, and you have continued to
offer to marry her; and at the same
time you disclaim the parentage OF
the child. In other words, your con-
duct is such as to create we'll found
ed suspicion on her part that You
are not sincere in your offers: and
such an offer as that to marry this
woman, and, at the same time dis
claiming the child. does not create
much respect for your plea with the
court. | hope by the time you serve
the sentence which the law imposes
you will have reflected on your con-
duct and that you will come back
and make a man of yourself. ] do
not want to impose such a lengthy
sentence on you as will break you
down so you will have no chance in
life; and for that reason | will make
it lighter than otherwise would
make in order that you may have
time to come out and redeem your
self"
