In the days when Oliver Cromwell
was lord protector Of England there
was no fine discrimination to favor
members Of an embassy. When such
members committed crimes against the
law Of the land they were held to the
same accountability as though they
had been natives. So it was that on
July 10, 1858, Don Pantaleon sa, a
Portuguese. nobleman, brother Of the
ambassador from that country to Eng
land and a knight of Malta, was be-
headed on Tower hill. He had killed
an Englishman. mistaking him for an
other. The Portuguese took refuge
with ahis brother, the ambassador, who
claimed that by the law Of nations his
house was an inviolable sanctuary for
all his countrymen. Cromwell sent a
messenger to state that If the criminal
was not given up to the civil authori-
ties the soldiers would. be withdrawn
efrom guarding the embassy and the
mob left to do as it pleased. Every
effort was made by the Portuguese and
other ambassadors to save Don Panta-
i, Icons life, but without avail. Crom-
e~ell made no other reply than. BLOOD

To Make copper Oxide.

An excellent way to make copper
oxide for use in batteries is as follows:
Take a quantity of copper filings or
fine copper shavings and heat them in
q cast iron container or in a crucible
till they are red hot. Stir them with
an iron rod, and while still stirring
sprinkle little water over the filings
until they become ocher red. You will
then have good quality Of copper
oxide.
Copper oxide plates may be made as
follows: Mix the granulated or coarse
copper oxide with s per cent or 10 per
cent Of magnesium chloride and heat
the heavy mass in forms made Of iron
sheeting. the. forms being Of the size
of the wanted plate. The more
chloride Of magnesium used the more
porous the plates will be. The coarser
the copper oxide the. better will be the
results.-Popular Science Monthly and

one Of Nature's Show places.

Ogden canyon, deep cleft through
the towering Wasatch mountains, over
looking the Great Salt lake. is one Of
natures show places, cut in the solid
rock by the river which runs through
it, the rushing water, from prehistoric
times, carrying quantities Of sand and
gravel which simply filed out the pres
ent wonderful canyon. Ogden river
was flowing west along its present
course before the lofty Wasatch noun
tains came into existence. The raising
Of the mountains went on slowly for
ages. so slowly that the river kept its
place by cutting down it's ever rising
bed. In no other way can scientists
nationally account for a river rising on
one side Of the range and flowing d.
rectly across it.-Argonaut.

rhackeray at oxford.

An old story of Oxford and Thackeray
is recalled by Thomas Plowman, who
vouches in the Cornhill Magazine for
the accuracy of his version. Thackeray
had to apply to the vice chancellor for
permission to lecture and found that
gentleman ignorant alike Of his name
and fame.
, Still, he had trump card left, which
he had been accustomed to consider
would carry all before it wherever the
English language was spoken. So, with
a quiet smile Of supreme confidence, he
simply calculated, Vanity Fair you
knowy' Then at last. to his relief. a
look of awakened intelligence mani
tested itself upon the vice chancellor's
countenance and Thackeray awaited
the effusive outburst which would
make amends for all. 1t came in the
words, ''Yes, yes. have heard Of
Vanity Fair of course; it is mentioned
in the Pilgrims Progress West

The poq Rose.

ingenious explanation Of its name as
the "horse chestnut" One solution is
that the 'dog" Is really ''dagga." a

drawback from which the Alexandra
Day rose is free. Unfortunately for
this explanation, the flower bears a
similar name in countries where it will
not apply. The Germans, for instance,
have "Hundsrose," and Pliny tells how
q Roman mother was moved In dream
to send some roots of the wild rose to
her soldier son in Spain. They arrived
Just -4fter he had been bitten by mad

from hydrophobia, as were others who
tadopted the same treatment. And from

NO PROVISION FOR
INSANE CRIMINAL
GEORGIA is AMONG THE FEW
STATES HAVING
NONE.

ATLANTA, July 22.-Georgia is one
OF the comparatively few states of
the union which makes no provision
whatever for insane criminals. and
therefore necessitates the commit
ment of such offenders to the state
sanitarium, where they are closely
associated with innocent sufferers of
mental disorders, and even with little
children who are detained there be-
cause of their mentally dependent
condition.
The sanitarium was intended as a
hospital for those who suffered from
the many disease included under the
popular term insanity, and, was never
designed by its founders to be a pen
ltentiary for the confinement of Grim
fnals. There is no one of its build
ings equipped with steel bars and
cells to withstand the ingenuity and
determination of those who make up
their minds to escape.
The legislature sought in 1904 to
remedy this situation as to insane
convicts by passing an act requiring
that they should be cared for at the
state farm but it failed to provide
funds for taking care of them there
Consequently, not only insane con,
victs, but the criminally insane sent
direct from the courts, must still be
committed to the state sanitarium.
During the six years. from 1910 to
1915, inclusive, 101 criminals have
been admitted to that institution, of
whom q gave no evidence of mental
disorder. To those who have a per
| sonal interest in the inmates of the
sanitarium by reason of the ties of
| kinship or friendship, the situation is
| distressing.
| The association of criminals and in
nocent insane is declared by the trus-
tees unjust to both alike and both
suffer by it. The Legislature has
been repeatedly asked to remedy this
situation, but so far there has been no
response to the appeal.

A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE.
The scare of the Infantile paralysis
epidemic is not an unjust one, as it
affects not only children, but adults
as well. What is the cause of the dis
ease? The answer is Impure Blood
To prove the correctness of the same:
is the experience had during the vel
low fever. Those whose system was
infected with impure blood, contract
ed the disease and died. Those whose
blood was only partially affected CON
tracte the disease in mild form and
recovered Others whose blood was
pure, never contracted the disease,
regardless of how much they mingled
attended and nursed the afflicted;
never contracted the disease because
the germs did not find nourishment.
