A Guessing Contest.

(Randolph Herald and News.)
The Rutland News makes a tantal-
izing reference to a senatorial possibil-
ity whom it describes as "a native
Nermonter, a graduate of Vermont ed
ucational institutions, man who mas
not been an office holder but who is
thoroughly in touch with affairs, state
and national, and who would in due
course become such a leader IN the Sen
ate, if he became a member of it, as
were Proctor, Edmunds and Morrill,
His name is -- wait until the propc,
time." As a guess let us fill in the
blank-John NJ. Thomas, president OF
Middlebury college.

Senator John w Weeks of Massachu-
sets will be one of the strong factors in
the National Republican convention Of
1916 1t is already well understood that
he will be among the prominent candidates
for the Republican nomination for presi-
dent.
The career of Senator Weeks has been
one of exceptional interest. lie was born
on April II, 1860 in the town of Lancas-
ter n IT., of an old New England family
He was reared on farm and after a
course of preparatory schooling entered
the U. s. Naval academy at Annapolis,
graduating in 1881. For the next two
years he served as a midshipman in the
navy, and on his retirement in 1885 en-

The Vermont state golf champion is

Barre showed in the tournament at
Bennington that they are coming
strong and another year one of them is
likely to cop the title. 1t is curious
that in some lines of sports there are

has made it logically sl1eptical. There is
no question that pure air, sane living,

TWO SIGNIFICANT EXPERIMENTS

Frederick J. Haskin, whose writings
on current topics are always interest
ing and frequently Illuminating, is now
engaged on a series of articles on ma
tional defense problems in this country.
In the seventh article of this series
he takes up the matter of explosives,
and in the course of his discussion he
indicates two lines of experiment now
being conducted quietly by scientists
and government experts in this country
which point to revolutionary possibiIi-
ties. One is the perfection of a wire
less controlled torpedo invented by a
young American presumably John
Hayes Hammond, il, who, a few
months ago, demonstrated such a torpe-
do at his home on the Massachusetts
eoast); and the other concerns the con-
tinued search for a successful appliea-
ton of the 'F-ray,' by means Of
which an enemy could be destroyed by
means Of the explosion of its ammuni-
tion through the use of the wireless
principle.
Regarding the first of these expert
ments, which seems entirely likely to
realize its object, Mr. Haskins says:
elm the field of torpedoes, the Unit
cd States government is now expert
menting with the invention of q young
American which naval experts claim
is destined to revolutionize warfare on
the sea quite as much as has the sub
marine. This invention consists of q
torpedo Of a novel size and shape, capa-
BILE of being guided or directed by
means of a wireless station several
miles distant. The torpedo is under the
control of the marksman from the time
it is launched and it may be made tc
turn to the right or to the left or even
dive at the will of the wireless operat-
or. The secret Of the process where
by the torpedo is guided is being care
fully guarded, for it is realized that il
it proves itself the possession of on,
such missile of death might possibly
change the fate of nations
In the second field referred to. there
is less promise of definite results bu
the attention it is receiving is highl,
significant. Here is Mr.. Haskin 5 com
| ment:
FThere remains the philosopher
| stone of warfare, the super-explosiv
| for which inventors have sought durin,
the past 80 years-the so-called 'viole
| ray, or 'infra-ray' or Fray whic1
| will sound the kneIl of olnpovder an,
| all kindred explosives as surely as the
| disposed of the armor of the Crusad
/ ers. This ray, transmitted through tn
J ether like the wirless waves, will ex
= plode the ammunition or detonants o
the enemy and destroy them with thei
own weapons. 1t will sink the creates
battleship by exploding the magazine
and it will dispose of the submarin
peril by exploding the torpedoes. /
win be irresistible; it will be revolt
tionary.
"But the violet ray exists only i
the confidence. of inventors who elan
that it will be perfected within a shol
time. One thing, however, is certain
the nation that controls the ray wi
hold in its hand the destinies of til
world. Until the discovery is mad
the United States will continue to d.
pend upon the modern explosives. -

Assets and Liabilities.

An asset is something which you
think belongs to you. A liability is
something Of yours which others think
belongs to them. Neither one Of you
is quite right. An asset without q lia-
bility would not be called an asset
Neither would a liability without an
asset be called a liability. It would
then be debt. while an asset without
liability would be wealth or capital or
property.
An asset is what you think you own.
A liability is what others think you
owe. What your liabilities are depend
upon your assets. What your assets
are depend upon your liabilities.
Therefore an asset is a liability and a
liability is an asset.-Life.
