Verses 54-5G.-Stephen's defense.
The witnesses who accused Stephen
charged him with blasphemy in attack
ing the Mosaic ritual and 50 it's author,
God. 1t is probable. noting his words
to the Sanhedrn. that Stephen had
preached that the law and the temple
worship would pass away before the
rising power OF Jesus. 1t was Il star
Ting declaration. On almost the same
charge they had convicted Jesus. The
apostles had never attacked the tenn
pie ritual and had been conspicu-
Gus for their devotion to the worship
Of their fathers. But Stephen, with
his Greek tendencies, presented the
promise of inevitable trouble unless
his dangerous teaching could be 81
fenced at once SO that it was Il united
ly hostile assembly that Stephen faced
in the sanhedrin. His defense was Il
recital of the history of the nation,
| seeking to show two things in particu
lar-tirst, that God had been and so
| could be WorShipcd outside the temple
| at Jerusalem. and, second. that the ma

Gods servants and Gods will. Then
| he developed two main contentious, as
| illustrated in the lives of Joseph and
Moses and David. all of whom wor-
shipped before the temple was built ana
all of whom We're rejected hy their
people and later honored 10y God. by
such an approach Stephen came to the
climax of his argument. when he turn
cd upon the men sitting in Judgment
and declared that, even as their ia
Tiers had prosecuted the prophets, so
they had murdered Jesus. The appli-
cation was TOO clear. Since they had
betrayed Gods righteous one. God
would reject them. and once more his
people would worship him without
temple or Mosaic law. Before Stephen
could utter the words the Sanhedrn
was in a turmoil. The biting SEN
tences had found their mark. The
proud leaders were 'cut to the heart"
The original words literally translated
mean "Sawn through" Like snarlins
beasts they "ynashed ON" Stephen
"with their teeth" But the presence
of .the Holy Spirit" within his heart
made stephen superior to all outward
circumstances. The riot in the council
chamber faded from his vision. and nc
saw heavens glory and "JeSus stand

Two Fleets Would Have to Keep
Constant Watch on Both Sides
of KieI Canal-BaItic and North
Seas Would Have to Be Pro-
tected.

INTERNATIONAL law as laid down
at The Hague peace court and
agreed to by the maritime powers
of the world provides that block
hde in order to be binding must be eff
fective. 1t must be maintained by suf-
fcient force to prevent access to the
enemy coast line.
Englands blockade Of Germany up
to the present time has not been effec-
tive. Commerce mas been going on be-
tween Germany's Baltic ports and Swe-
den. Now Great Britain proposes to
make the blockade complete, effective
to patrol the Baltic with sufficient
warships to prevent any neutral vessel
entering or leaving a German port.
Whether or not she can succeed in
doing this is merely matter OF opin-
ion, but there are many obstacles III
the way. First and Of greatest impor-
tance there is the Kiel canal. Ger

Blockades Always Important.

Blockades have always formed one
of the most interesting features of
wars. An effective blockade now ex-
lists in the Mediterranean and no ship
can enter Constantinople. The United
States established and maintained an
effective blockade at Havana and Ma
nila. But perhaps the most notable
blockade in all history was the action
of the federal government in establish
ing blockade Of the 200 ports in the
Confederacy's territory during our civil
war. The rules governing blockades
today We're compiled largely from the
precedents established ut that time.
In the sixties it was deemed impos-
sible to carry out such mammoth
bOttling scheme. but it was done. How
gigantic a task it was may be gathered
from an extract of speech made by
Senator James H. Hammond Of South
Carolina ut that time:

have two fleets as strong or stronger
than the German navy. one in the
North sea and the other in the Baltic.
This, of course, in addition to the YES
sells that are now being used in the
Mediterranean and other naval thea
ters Of war;
Should England send an inferior fleet
to the Baltic. Germany in all probabil-
ity would send her ships out and get
some action. Should the North sea
squadron be weakened in order to es-
tablish the blockade the kaiser would
probably send his ships out past Hell
goland, and the naval action would
take place where Great Britain had
the smaller feet.
But it may be possible for the allies,
for Russia and France have a good
many first class ships anG would lend
valuable aid. 1t would take q navy
larger than any power in the world
possesses to erect a barrier of warships
along the entire German coast, and for
the blockade to be effective this would
be necessary. Unless 1t is done it is
doubtful II the embargo would be rec
ognized by the neutral nations whose
commerce would be affected.
Among the possible solutions of the
problems now under consideration by
England is scheme whereby neutral
governments would provide naval
convoy through British waters for mer-
chant vessels carrying a noncontra-
band cargo, guaranteed as such by
the governments concerned. This, of
course, is only partial solution, and
the difficulties of it are foreseen.

Travelled Hundreds of Miles.
The blockade runners cleared from
ports in Great Britain under the Brit
ish flag, taking out a sailing captain to
comply with the law. They steamed to
Bermuda. Nassau in the Bahamas, Hal
vana and Natamoras. From these Brit
ish, Spanish and Mexican ports the
cargoes We're carried to Savannah,
Charleston and Wilmington, on the
American coast. a distance varying
from 500 to 500 miles, according to
points of departure and arrival. There
was no risk Of moment until the three
mile off coast limit of the blockaded
ports was reached.
The Agreement of Today.
The latter day agreement about
blockades is the gradual growth of
the consensus of national opinion since
the Nupoeonic period. During lSOG-7
Great Britain and the United States
both said at various times that Il
| blockade to be binding must be eff
| fective Otherwise the blockade would
| be merely paper blockade This
view Of blockades gradually became
the accepted one, and at Il congress of
nations in Paris in 1896 all nations
there represented acquicSced in it.
This declaration of Paris held force
durin" both the first and second Hague
peace conferences. After the second
conference Great Britain called Il spe.

and after sitting from Dec. t. 1908, to
Feb. 2G, 1909, they adopted code of
tWenty-one articles governing blockade,
expanded from the long acknowledged
fundamentals.
But in none of these twcnty-one ar
ticles is there provision made for deal

Rice As A Food

The report of the United States Department of Agricul- ture on comparative food values gives these percentages for DO tatoes and rice: Water. 7S3 and 12. 1; protein, 2.2 and "A; fat, I and 4; starch. 18.4 and 794 mineral matter. 10 and 4. The food value of a pound of potatoes being 375 units, that of a pound of rice is 1880. A table of com parative food values shows: Rice S6.09 per cent: wheat, 82 54; rye. 82. 79; oats, 74.02; maize, 82.97; potatoes, 23. A; fat beef, 46.03, and lean beef, 26. .S3.
 In letter to the New York Sun M. $. Bate, who writes from New York. says one pound of potatoes furnishes nourishment for one person and ore pound of rice nourishment for six per sons. He adds that lack of in formation as to the value of rice and how to prepare it palatably has operated against it's appreci- ation by the American public. Moreover rice is said to be the ore important food product that has not show an abnormal in crease in price.

Rice To The Rescue.

Wheat products which are sold to the public for .S2107 are manufactured from one carload
 of wheat for which the farmer receives S653, according to Dr. E F. Ladd, food commissioner of North Dakota and president of the state agricultural college, :" a dispatch from Fargo, N. D., tells us. The public hears about S2 wheat, " pr. Ladd declares
 The fact is, this is the price of No. l northern hard spring wheat, of which there is little or none in the northwest this year. The bulk of the hard wheat crop is therefore. grading No. 1 or goes as rejected or mo grade, and the farmer is not getting S2 a bushel for it, or anywhere pear that price. Most of the crop is being sold at around s1, and much of it at below that figure. ; The same wheat for which the farmer receives S653 a car is sold in Minneapolis for S962, where it is ground into four and sold for S1660 at wholesale.
