A COMPARISON.

Referring to the soft toned answer of
Great Britain to repeated American pro
tests against interference with neutral
commerce an answer which promises
much but guarantees little if anything
the New York World makes telling
point when it says;
What would be said in London if the
German reply to our submarine ultmatum
should contain the statement that. not
withstanding the American lives lost, our
population is increasing and therefore our
grievance is only imaginary? That, in prin-
ciple, is the theory on which Great Brit
ain is acting when it points to our grow
/ ing trade with neutrals and asks us to be
content
There could be no more exact parallel III
principle than is drawn by this compare
SON. Never once has England made any
thing like a successful attempt to defend
her one-sided, bogus blockade, in principle
She has salved and pleaded necessity and
produced wholly irrelevant evidence into
the discussion but she has never gotter
down to fundamentals
1t is to be expected of the Washington
administration that if this everlasting diff
Guilty with Germany is ever gotten out o
the way, England will learn something con
corning American theories on sea freedom

James Watt, the inventor of the
steam engine and the semi-annual
boiler inspection fee, has never been
recognized by posterity as he deserved.
Our newspapers and magazines do not
pay half so much attention to him as
they do to the man who discovered
the knee-high union suit, and yet
James Watt put a great deal more
thought into his invention. This teach
es us that it hardly pays to invent
anything which cannot be advertised
at $500 per agate line.
Before James Watt was born all of
the steam engines were drawn by
horses or the patient, baek-fring mule.
As a young man Mr.. Watt did not
amount to much. He would sit before
the fire for hours and watch the tea
kettle discharge steam, after which
he would measure the condensation IN
a pint cup. 1t should be remarked that
this Is the same method pursued al
the present time wherever steam heat
is sold on the meter basis. One day
/ Young Watt decided to tie down tn,
; lid of the teakettle and see what woul,

The Law of self-Defense.

An eminent English iurist once made
the remark, often quoted, that, he who
l1noweth not the reason of the law
knoweth not the law Now a law
would not be founded in reason that
justified a man, when assaulted, in tax
ing the life of his assailant unless it
were necessary or he thought it neces-
sary to take it.
1t would be a dangerous rule to pro
mulgate that when one is assaulted and
put in peril of his life or of great bodi-
" injury he may kill his assailant. The
general, though not the universal, rule
in this country is that there must be a
real or an apparent necessity for tax
ing life. The person assaulted must
act as a reasonable man would act in
| like circumstances. Some courts have
said that he mnst have an honest be
| lief that the act is necessary.
But the law makes liberal allowance
for the condition of mind the assaulted
man is in The assault may have been
so sudden and he put in such sudden
! fear that at the moment it seemed
necessary to kill his assailant, though
| in the GOODNESS Of afterthought 1t ap
peared that he might have spared IN;
! life. To illustrate: A man might escape

James Watt never knew what ease
or luxury was until he was too old to
enjoy either. He was granted several
alright patents, to obtain which he
went without sleep, shaving soap and
other necessities, and as often as one
was issued somebody would step IN
and infringe. One Of his best patents
was stolen outright, and is now used
in siX-cylinder cars which collect a
fresh set of carbon every 200 miles.
Mr.. Watt could have gone to law and
obtained redress, but he always said
that he would rather have a little less
redress and more ready money, so he
went Oh inventing until he got his
engine where it could be handled by
anybody who had fearless nature
