RUSSIANS MISSING

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT

Russia's rivers, lakes and seas

IN military operations, which fact
accounts for the scarcity Of "caviare

effective armor-plat'ng of curiously
fitted, bony bosses running down
each side of it's body, and closely n
terlccking bony plates form a pro-
lection to the head. During it's in
fantlie stages the jaws possess min

has been attained these disappear

into a tubular structure, which can
be lowered and raised at will. 1t

down into the mud to suck up worms
and hidden shellfish; but such crus-
tacea and fish as haunt the bottom
are also eaten, as also, it is said, are
waterfowl when opportunity offers.
Sight plays but a minor part in
the discovery of food, which is de-
tected by the aid of delicately sensi-
tive "feelers," or "barbels," hanging
from the corners of the mouth. This
arrangement is due not so much to
the effectiveness of the eyes as to
the fact that much Of the food has to
be obtained by stirring up the mud
with its pointed snout, which of ne
cessity creates kind of liquid fog.
IT is from this habit that Anglo
Ssxons named the fish Styria, the
stirring one," a name which has
come down in the form of sturgeon.
il is really a marine fish, which,
like the salmon comes up the rivers
to spawn, though some species are
now entirely fresh-water dwellers.
The eggs, which are extremely
minute, and from which caviare is
made, are encased in a gelatinous
envelope, and deposited in sheets

sheets contains about 100000 eggs

A young couple came into his rooms

them. He said if they would wait until
after the service he would give them a
public wedding
After the benediction he announced:
Now, will those persons wishing to
be married please come forward" 1t
is recorded in the story that eleven
women and one man answered to the
call
An Offset to that story is one told by
DR.. AlonZo R. Petty of woman who
was before a Judge asking for di-

NATIONAL sPIRTT I,ACkNc

A nation may pursue the arts of
peace for many years, and attending
strictly to its own business, neglect
successfully its international relations
and not get into trouble, says 1.-THE
Bache Review But the very inter
nal growth will eventually press its
operations to a point where the mat
ters of the outside world must enter
into its calculations, even though the
world is also pursuing a peaceful ca
reer in a like manner. This was the
situation in this country as we grew
peacefully to enormous commercial
Importance. Even had the great war
not come, we would, before many
years more, have had to take up the
questions of foreign trade and extend
amicably, but extensively, our excur-
sions into the worlds markets. This
would have developed almost auto
matically the national spirit, because
these excursions to be successful would
have to have been more or less I'M

approval of and with some assistance
from the national government. Up to
the time of the beginning of the war,
however, Inero na0 been not only III

Aunt Chameleon rciIs a Story.

When Miss Chameleon found that

deal more about alligators and their
ways than she herself did, she was

THE BRUTEs OF WAR.

In one particular, at least the Rus
slams and the Turks stand on common
ground; that is, if the report from
Berlin is true that the Russians have
massacred the entire Mohammedan
populations of divers towns that they
have RACED, even to burning in one in
stance no less than 500 such unfor-
tunates alive. And what an anomaly :?
This is the same Russia that went so
n-bly to the succor of the Armenians
that the Turks neglected to slaughter.
Perhaps it is Russian vengeance on the
''infidels'' for the massacre by the
Turks of Armenian Christians But it
is too terrible a vengeance for a ma
ton that poses as being civilized to
wreak. No crime was ever squared or
satisfied by The commission of another.

are from being nation, in the sense
of not possessing a national spirit
which inspires every unit to jealousy
guard the interests and well-being of
the United States as a whole. 1t is en-
couraging to find that the realization
of this condition has received real at
tention in the field most capable OF
rectifying it, in that of business; and
the movement for the Americanizing
of industries is the result-a move
ment which is being taken up in
most practical way by organized in
dustfies. 1t became apparent to en-
ployers of labor that their foreign
born workmen constituted an unstable
element Many of them rushed to en-
listment in their native countries md
their places were not filled because
of falling immigration. Many of those
left became restless and turbulent. A
contemplation of what would further
happen in case of war in this country
gave only pictures of graver disturb
ance. A comparison of the services of
native born or naturalized workers
with foreign-born, showed better out
put on the part of the former. These
industrial corporations concluded that
teaching the English language and
promoting American citizenship would
be very important factors in keeping
their men together, steadying en-
ployment and increasing efficiency.
And many industries have concluded
that this Americanization work is
worth much more than its cost, from
an efficiency standpoint. They are
willing to assume the cost of making
citizens for the profit it brings in i'm
proved conditions of production.

Within a few days now the new
army bill is likely to become law by
President Wilson attaching his sigma
ture to it. The conference report on
the bill has passed the senate and the
house is expected to take like action
in a day or so. Among other things
this law calls for a regular army of
211, 900 men on a peace basis, and the
next and most important move of the
nations military authorities is to re-
cruit the present army up to this
strength. Just how this is going to be
done seems to be something of a mys-
terry, in view of the fact that the gov
eminent hasn't as yet been able to
recruit the 10000 men for the regular
army that was authorized when the
trouble with Villa came to head
