and comparison showed that these
specimens were of the same type as
the diatoms brought from Cape Wan
darum, in Asia.
THE finding of these diatoms proved
that passage existed from the Pacific
to the Atlantic, but did not indicate
the time it took to pass through from
sea to sea. Later an American har
pooh was found by an English whaler
in the Atlantic Arctic sea, which
proved also that there was a passage
by which a whale could go through.
"Then later on wreckage of the
Jeanette and some part of the cloth
ing of two members of the Jeannette's
crew came ashore on the west coast of
Greenland at Julianehaab. This proved
to me that il the Jeanette had not
been lost she would have drifted into
the Atlantic ocean in about four years
and half. 1t also proved that there
is a passage from ocean to ocean.
when the Fran was caught in the
ice she drifted into the Atlantic ocean
from the Pacific, which also proved my
theory of free passage. When Ad-
miral Melville and President Bryant of
the Philadelphia Geographical society
placed casks in Boring strait and set
them adrift they demonstrated the
time it took to pass from ocean to
ocean.
"Now the last link In my theory is
illustrated by the wreck of the Karluk,
Stefansson's ship, which was caught
in the ice off Point Barrow. 1t was not
a good place to start, but she drifted
in a short time to latitude 73 north,
and would have completed her voyage
to the Atlantic in about four years, be-

insect Warriors.

Talking of insects as warriors, an
amazing proposition was once sub
mitted to the French minister of war
by a professor at one of the leading
colleges in Paris. It was that large
blow-flies should be bred and kept in
cages, where they should be fed on
blood placed between the artificial
skin of dummy figures dressed up In
the enemy's uniform.
When war had been declared, the
insects were to be fed on the sap of
certain tropical plants in order to
make them venomous, Then, con-
veyed to the front, they could be re-
leased from their cages to make short
work of the enemy.

PUZZLED OVER WOMEN
FEMALE SEX A MYSTERY TO THE
HEBREW sAGEs.
Classed With Fools as Subjects Be-
yond Comprehension = Remarks
Made by Author of the Book
of Ecclesiasticus.

Two subjects seem to have occupied
the attention of the Hebrew sages to
marked degree. They are always re-
curing to them. In the midst OF max
inns about the conduct CT life the sage
cannot forbear to take a side swipe
at fools and women. He finds them
both beyond comprehension.
To get his point of view it is neces'
sary to remember that there were no
asylums in the Orient. Every village
had its imbeciles, who were a feature
of the town life. The village fool was
far more prominent person in the
ancient East, and forced himself much
more ON public attention than the
feeble-minded person of today, who
usually is kept in the background.
AS for women? Well, the ancient
world never was able to make them
out any way. Their incessant chatter
ing was evidently great annoyance
to the solemn, white-bearded patri,
archs.
One of the most human of the an
cient sages was the author of the
Book of Ecclesiasticus in the Apoc-
rypha, Jesus, the son of Sirach. His
book has a distinct flavor, quality
that makes it entertaining reading.
The imagination pictures him a man
of gracious dignity, reserved, serious,
taking his obligations with the gray
ity Of his race. Experience has dis
closed to him most of the mysteries
of the world-except women.
"a daughter" he confesses, "is a
secret cause of wakefulness to a IA
Their, and the care of her putteth away
Sleep" That seems to have been the
general attitude of the sages toward
the female aspect of affairs. He en-
larges on the subject in another place:
Il will rather dwell with lion and
dragon than keep house with a
wicked woman. The wickedness of a
woman changeth the look and dark
eneth her countenanee as a bear doth.
Her husband shall sit at>meat among
his neighbors, and when he heareth
it he sigheth bitterly. All malice is
let the portion Of sinner fall on her.
AS the going up sandy way is to the
feet of the aged, SO is a wife full of
words to q quiet man. A wicked wom-
an is abasement of heart, and sadness
of countenance, and wounded heart.
A woman that will not make her hus-
band happy is as hands that hang
down, and palsiea knees. From a
woman was the beginning of sin, and
because of her we all die. A silent
woman is a gift of the Lord
The "wickedness" to which so much
exception was taken seems to have
been contentiousness. The wise man
of the East, deairous of leading con-
templative life, was simply worn to
death by an ill-tempered, laxative
wife. That was why silent woman
was a gift of the Lord The only bit
of conversation on the part Of Socra-
ties with Xantippe that is recalled is
the word. "Hush!'

RAY STANNARD BAKER CON.
SIDERS BRANDElS INQUIRY
AS AN 0LD-FASHlONED
HERESY TRIAL.

In the Springfield Mass Rspub.
ncan, in the course OF a detailed analy
sis of the hearing regarding Mr. Bran
deis fitness for appointment TO the Su.
preme court, Ray Stannard Baker
writes
Il confess that layman finds him
self somewhat puzzled as to what is
the real view among lawyers them
selves concerning the conduct proper
to lawyer and prospective Judge like
Mr. Brandeis Two widely different
and, as it seems to the layman, contra,
dictory views appear to prevail among
them. Indeed, the inquiry at Wash
ington has sometimes seemed to the
observer like an old-fashionsd heresy
trial with good and honorable men dis
putting doctrinal points and with Mr.
Brandeis himself as the charged here
tic"
"A few OF the high priests OF the
legal profession have appeared TO op.
pose Mr., Brsndeis; others like the
faculty Of the Harvard law school who
know him well, have appeared to sup
port and commend him. Are these
professors herstical too?"
The fve-per-cent rate case lie more
or less typical OF the charges brought
against Mr.. Brandeis and raises tRe
question squarely as to whether II Is
really q heresy for a lawyer to be hon
est with judges, commissions and the
public. Must a lawyer be obliVious to
the public aspects OF the problems
which are presented to him? Shall .
lawyer seek justice and truth, or shall
he be honest only with clients who
pay him for it?"
"A careful investigation OF all the
cases presented at the Brandeis in
CURRY can be shown, | think to turn
upon this vital difference In view a.
to the lawyers reai Job; and that Mr.
Brandeis' method was to take the

The question as to whether or not
the law Is mandatory as to the holding
of state convention and county COZ
ventions in connection with the presi-
Dental preference primary, was the, oc-
casion for good deal of discussion
yesterday among the politicians.
The fact Is that the law is not clear
that 1t was badly bungled and made SC
that any party can virtually exercise
its choice in the matter of CONVEX
tions. It was clearly intended, OF
Course, that presidential conventions
should be- held But the law did not
say so. 1t merely made certain sections
OF the regular primary applicable 81
far as they are needed. Lawyers diff
fer very much on the question. 1t IL
understood that leading senators who
had to. do with the formulation of the
bill all said that 1t was meant there
should. be held a state convention to
follow the preference primary. Some
members of the supreme bench were
OF that opinion after looking into the
matter Some of the force of the at
torney generals office also believed
that the conventions were necessary.

will be held at Cedar Rapids and tine
regular republican state convention will
be held at Des Moines at dates to be

night at the Des Moines club.
Lack of any ruling by the attorney

of holding the first convention made it
necessary for the state central COM

hands and to avoid all possibility Of

mittee decided to hold both conVen-

The only other actions taken at
the meeting were the election of w.
