becomes lighter. The streak is gem
orally dark brown, but sometimes
appears almost black. The lustre
of fresh surfaces is commonly bright

variety known as steel tungsten"
or ''steel ferberite" hasa steel gray
color and metallic lustre on fresh
surfaces. The texture Of ferberite Is
very fine and it seldom breaks away
in fakes, as does specular hema,lte.
1t often occurs scattered in very
fine grains through the "hornstone'

Wo,frnmite is intermediate in
color and streak between hubnerite
and ferberite. Il has the same crys-
tai habit as ferbcrite, but rarely oc-
curs in the long, blade-like crystals
so common in hubnerite.
Scheelitc resembles quartz but is
over twice as heavy volume for VOL

quartz, and frequently shows fiat
cleavage faces, while quartz gener-
ally shows curved and irregular
fracture surfaces. 1t can oe scratch

DOYER'S NEEDS.


From the Dover Index
We did not mean to start sensa-
tion about the moral condition Of
Dover by our comments Of last week.
Dover is probably no better and no
worse than most of our Delaware
towns. The condition to which we
called attention is likely to prevail in
some degree in any town. Nor did
we mean to put any special blame
on our town authorities for this con-
dition. Dover's town government is
probably not responsible. 1t is OF the
average efficiency and the average
town government is not expected to
make crusades on vice unless the
people Of the town demand it. We
however, repeat that Dover needs a
Law and Order Organization that will
investigate conditions and institute
prosecutions and enforce the law and
ordinances. The town also needs a
curfew law prohibiting children being
on the streets OF the town after nine
o'clock unaccompanied by parents.
Much of the vice that we refer to
straits with neglect of parents. We
want our town affairs well managed,
we want our streets improved. we
want the trees kept in order, we want
our sanitary conditions improved and
mosquitoes and flies destroyed, but
if one little girl Of the town is saved
from ruin or one boy from dissipation
and wreck, it is worth more than

French aeroplanes upon Freiburg, for
Paris is a fortified city and as such
is exposed to bombardments. The
French call their dropping of bombs
on Freiburg-ive, the Germans said,
and no one injured-a reprisal too.
or course Friedrichshafen the beauti-
full is not celebrating the reprisal but
the famous raid on the fortified city
of Paris. The announcement that the
night attack was a reprisal is in
tended TO be a justification, but the
Germans realize the weakness OF
their case when they are particular
to say i'm the official bulletin that
"the fortified city of Paris" was at
tackled with satisfactory results No
soldier proud of his profession could
say that, knowing what the results
were.
The truth is that as an engine OF
war the Zeppelin has been a disap-
pointment. For attacking fortified
places it is practically worthless
Compared with the aeroplane, its mil
itary uses have been insignificant; but
for the slaughter of the innocent II
has been almost as successful as the
submarines have been on the surface
of the sea. To talk of murderous
raids by Zeppelins as reprisals is to
assume that the neutral world, to
which the justification is really ad-
dressed. has no memory for fright
fulness."
Since the attack on Paris, which as
a fortified place is technically
proper target for bombs. the eastern
counties Of England have been again
raided and more of the innocents,
greater number than ever, have beer
slaughtered. Was this raid a military
nneration or a reprisal?
