A Shameful Spectacle.

President Wilson touring the country
speaking in favor of his military pro-
gram will present novel spectacle. 1t
has been long time since an American
president needed to call for patriotism.
And as though that were not novelty
enough, the president will be trailed by
his former secretary of state speaking
in criticism of the presidents plan.
American politics may go long way
before it produces another situation to
match that
First, it should not be necessary for
the president to go on the stump ad.
vocating the defense of the country. The
question has in it no matter of party.
The policy, il love of existence can be
called policy, is not new,
Further, to find the country not only
apathetic but supporting propaganda
in opposition to defense is almost con-
tradietion or human nature as well as of
political nature.
Mr.. Bryan, proceeding with his plan
OF contradicting Mr.. Wilson, will be
heard by large audiences. He may even
draw as big crowds as the president
does; in the towns of the middle West
his following has not diminished. Also,
there is the traditional American love
Of q contest, and there is no chance
that Mr.. Bryan's personal opinions will
be shouted unheard.
Looking back, some day, the United
States is going 10 be ashamed OF that
Decentralization journal.

MOST ANCIENT TREATY.
Carved In Stone on the Walls Of Two
Egyptian Temples.

On the walls Of two of Egypt's great
est temples. that OF Karnak and the
Ramesseum at Thebes, carved in the
everlasting stone Of the dry land OF
the Nile, says the Christian Herald, Is
the Oldest international treaty known
to man. Rarneses the Great, one of
the signers, is the best known man OF
remote antiquity. Khetasar (the car
of the Kheta or Hittites), the other par
ty to the treaty, is unknown except to
a few, and his nation is little known
even to the scholars.
The Hittites were a mighty race,
whose empire, equal in rank with the
mighty empire Of Egypt and Babylo-
MIA, once extended over 100000 square
miles of territory in Asia Minor and
Syria. A few years ago practically
nothing was known of the life and civ
ilization OF these mysterious people.
They are mentioned In the Bible and
in the Egyptian and Assyrian records,
but until very recently their own story
had never been read by modern man.
Today, thanks to the excavations that
were carried on at the capital city of
Carchemish, much has been learned
about this great group of tribes, and
orderly evidence about them is now
available for the first time In 1000
years.

Cape of Good Hope.

The Cape of Good Hope lies at a con
siderable distance from the end OF
South Africa and is, In fact, the middle
OF the three promontories, severally In
conspicuous, which Jointly terminate a
slender peninsula some twenty miles In
length forming the barrier between
False bay and the Atlantic ocean on
the west. These three headlands, lying
near together and commonly undivided
ON a map Of moderate scale, are locally
designated Cape Point 1t was here
that Bartholomew Diaz first encoun
tered In full force the prevalent south
easterly gales and denounced the rug
ged, threatening, threefold promontory
under the sounding appellation of the
Cape of Storms, TO be afterward re
ehristened by pious, trustful hearts the
Cape of Good Hope.

oldest Of Queer Fishes.

A queer fish that does not swim is
the 'sargaSso fish," known to sailors
as the "frogfish." II lives in that vast
mass Of floating gulfweed called the
Sargasso sea. In mid Atlantic
Its pectoral fms are so modified and
developed as TO resemble arms. and ID
uses them for clinging TO the weed.
Very gaudily colored. IL changes its
hues to match the aquatic vegetation
by which Il is surrounded. and when
the latter decays and turns brown it
assumes a corresponding shade.
The fish lays its eggs in a jelly-like
mass, which. absorbing a great guam
tity Of water, becomes three times as
big as the mother fish herself, assum-
ing the form OF a narrow raft three or
four feet long and two to four inches
wide

CLOUD FORMATIONS.
Why the Masses OF Moisture Are Able
60 Float In the Air.

70 Float In the Air.
Clouds consist Of particles of con-
densed water yapor and in SHINE cases
Of extremely fine spicules of Ice. which
Is also formed from water vspor. Wa
ter vapor which arises by evaporation
from the surface Of seas, lakes, etc,
Is lighter than dry air at the same
temperature and pressure. 1t is also
invisible.
1t dIsseminates itself through the
atmosphere and ascends to great
heights. There, owing to the fall of
temperatures and to other causes, it
begins to condense into particles which
are slightly heavier than air and which
become visible clouds
Owing to the influence OF winds and
OF rising currents as well as TO the
fact that the condensed particles are
nearly as light as air the clouds remain
floating, like nne suspended matter In
water until further condensation Gre
ates particles Of sufficient size to form
raindrops, whose relative great weight
brings them rapidly to the ground.
That clouds do slowly descend even
when not condensed into rain may be
observed when they are seen to dis
solve and disappear without apparent
cause. This is caused by the clouds
descent to level where rise of tenn
perature causes the condensed water
yapor to reyolatilize, thus becoming
again invisible.--New York Journal.

SWAMPE0 WITH PROFITS.
Story Of the Patent on tho Screw VIII
the Gimet Point.

Story Of the Patent on the Screw With
the Ginlet Point.
Perhaps the shortest patent applica'
ton extant is the one on file In the
patent office at Washington, which
reads, II claim patent on screw
with gimlet point"
Previous to that all screws used In
variety, and the carpenter had TO care
fully bore hole with glmlet or au'
ger before inserting his screw and
forcing II home. The advent of the
screw with a gimlet point which would
bore itself in revoIutionized this.
This patent was held by the Ameri
can Screw company OF Providence, X.
L., and before the patent ran out and
Il was impossible for others TO manu-.
facture IL without damage suits this
company made tremendous profits.
The demand for the gimlet pointed
screw was, of course, immense, and
the company did not know what TO do
with its profits
All Of its dray horses were carefully
selected blacks, and tremendous prices
were paid for good stock. The harness
was of patent leather trimmed with
red, while the wagons plying back and
forth between the factory and the
docks or the railroad had red under
gear to match the harness trimmings
and the wheels were decorated with
gold leaf, IA carat fine But this is all
past Today the pointed screw can be
purchased at any corner store for
few cents package. Wall Street

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
"Spring Maid" At Barre Opera House
Monday, Jan. "a.

When the bubbling Vienncse operetta
success, "The Spring Maid is seen dur
ing its coming engagement here, the
cast which the producers declare the
most perfect ever given the operetta will
be heard with interest. Since the or
ganization was formed last season only
three minor changes have been made in
the cast and these have resulted in de-
cided improvement where such was not
thought possible of accomplishment, so
fine was last seasons cast. Hattye Fox
and Osborne Clemson remain in their
original roles and rollick through the
operetta as the fascinating princess and
naughty prince TO an accompaniment of
music which is delightful. Arthur Wool
ey is still the comical father, Frank
Wooley the suspicious sleuth, while Jean
Irwin will be seen as the cunning An
amirl. AT the Barre opera house, Mon.

Scientist who Couldn't LIaht Fire.

by the dukes host, Lord Kelvin. But
instead Of placing some paper in the
CRATE and some wood on that In the
orthodox manner, he amazed the on
