EXERCISING TIE MIND.
Time and Solitude Are Essential iH
 Learning to Think Easily.

Learning to lhlnk GaSIIy'
 An important element in easy think ing Is:
 Opportunity for thought in lime and In solitude.
 Many of us are "tuu busy" but with far less productive things. to really live or to really think. One should make time. make solitude fol thought People are often lou much continuous ly together, especially yo:nG reople Each individual Is separate ard re quires individual separate thought.
 One in general should room by one self or else in some way manage to spend considerable time alone, along the seashore or brOOl; side or in ones room. The gentle exercise of stroll or of q slow bicycle lile requiring lit tie attention to itself is our ideal stim ulant and occasion for thinking unless the attention wNndCrs too much out wardly. The time should be somehow had In which to be alone.
 Schools are oftcntimes too crowded to allow their students to think. One can afford as a matter of dollars and cents to take an extra year in school If one can learn to think by doing SO. The time so used is a rivh and certain investment.
 In default of better time a half hour after walking or before rising Is a good time to think. and many people have their most productive and orig inal thoughts occur to them thus in the morning and early after good nights rest Dr. G. Van N. Dearborn In Scientific American.

PERSIA'S SoRR0WFUL TREE,
It Blooms Only at Night and Appears
 Withsred In Daytime.

In farofF Persia there grows a shrub which Is called the sorrowful tree. Another name for this tree Is the night iessamine or the sad tree. The reason why 1t Is called the sad or sorrowtul tree Is because 1t blooms only at night
 When the first star appears in the sky the first bud opens on the won- derful tree. As the evening advances the buds open more rapidly until the tree is covered with a delicate bloom and 1t appears like one vast flower. The bloom Is quite fragrant and the odor Is like the perfume of the evening primrose. As the stars begin to grow dim and the dawn approaches the flowers begin to fade, and by the time the sun has risen not a flower can be found on the tree.
 During the hours Of daylight the tree appears to be whitening as If 1t had been injured in some manner, but in reality it Is simply regaining strength in order to put new blossoms on the following night.
 This tree is held in high esteem by the natives of the country where II grows and Is looked upon as Curios ity by florists throughout the world When cut down these trees send up sprouts from the roots that will mature into a towering tree in very short time.-AppleS of Gold.

THE LASH lUDGMENf.
As 1t Is Hourly Depicted by ths Clock
 of Bsauvais Cathedral.

or 6eauNaiS SaInS1TU'
 The clock of Beauvais cathedral is said to be composed of 92,0O0 separate pieces. One sees on the fifty-two dial plates the hour. the day, the week and the month; the rising aud setting or the sun, phases of the moon, the tides, the time in the principal capitals Of the world, together with a series Of terrestrial and astronomical eYoluuons.
 The framework Is carved oak, eight meters by five meters, or twenty-six feet by sixteen and quarter feet.
 When the clock strikes all the edi- fee seems in movement. The designer wished to depict the last Judgment. This wonderful work recalls the clock of Strassburg and Is of modern con- struction. It Is the work of a Beau vaisian, NJ. Yerite, who was In the engineering department of the Nord railway and who died In 1887.
 AS the striking begins the cock crows, angels sound a trumpet at the four cardinal points, imitation of flames ap- pears from the openings of little stee- ples right and left. A soul that Of the impenitent thief, appears before the Supreme Judge. It is condemned, "a renfer," and a demon armed with a pitchfork seizes 1t and casts 1t Into the abyss. Next comes the soul of the just. The angels advance and con- duct 1t to the realms of day, sacred strains being heard.-London Chroni-

WARSH|P PATROL OF
NORTH ATLANTIC COAST
Navy Department Is Taking Steps
for Preserving American
Neutrality.

The Navy Department today began
preparations to establish a patrol of
United States warships along the
north Atlantic coast to make certain
that American neutrality is not vio
lated by the German submarine raids
upon allied shipping in the vicinity of
American waters
No orders have yet gone to the At
lantic fleet or to the commanders of
navy yards, but it is known that de-
partment officials are taking steps to
make ready all craft Of the active and
reserve fleets which would be assigned
to the patrol duty should developments
prove it necessary to establish a watch
along the three-mile limit; also if
there is question as to whether the
safety of passengers was provided for
in the raids that have SO far taken
place.
This question of safety is largely
question of fact, dependent on the dis
tance from shore and weather conditions
prevailing.
Against Indiscriminate Attacks.
The fact that American torpedo boat
destroyers happened to be at hand yes
terday and today off Newport, and could
be rushed to the coast off Nantucket
(where the raids occurred) in sufficient
numbers to rescue the crews and pas
sengers from the sunken ships is con-
sidered irrelevant. 1t is not believed
that the government will tolerate indis-
criminate sinkings- by German stbma-
rines on the assumption that the United
States Navy, being in the neighborhood.
will rescue the survivors. Otherwise, 1t
is said, the United States Navy would be
cooperating to make legal what would
otherwise be illegal
Secretary Daniels made it plain that
the only immediate interest of the Navy
Department had been to do everything
within its power to prevent loss of life.
That attitude may be described as the
policy of the government in regard to
the submarine operations in progress on
the Atlantic coast. at least until such
time as developments shall warrant
some other action.

what has taken place and threatens
to take place from now on. Would Mr.,
Wilson be blamed for not having
shown a fir1ner hand to Germany in
the past? Would the people become
aroused over what would amount to a
blockade of American ports and busi-
moss II 1t Is followed by further op-
erations by submarines, and take ven
geance upon Mr.. Wilson at the polls
for his "watchful waiting policy as
to Germany?
Or will the bringing of the war close
to home cause thousands of people
still further to thank the President
for having kept the country out of
trouble? Will the people be grateful
that the small sample of war now SO
close to US has been heretofore kept
away from our shores altogether?
The questions indicate the bent of
mind Of those who were busy talking
today.
The political side of the question, it
is further admitted, may be affected
before election day by the President
himself taking a hand in the latest
developments of international warfare
so near, putting everything in the air
and giving the American voter the
most spectacular race for his vote he
has ever known.

worse with developments. There are
those who believe that the destruction
of ships is the mere beginning of a
German policy of attacking and de-
stroyirg enemy merchant vessels right
at the doors of the United States, as the
vessels are leaving with American
goods for Europe.
No great number of submarines are
likely to be employed. according to this
view. and they may appear and disap-
pear, leaving the time of their coming
a mystery, but all the time keeping
business frightened and stopping, as
far as possible. the sending Of Ameri-
can supplies to the allies.
With this new development will come
close to American shores swarms of
allied fighting ships of small and large
degree, bent upon hunting the sub
marines to the death. War will draw
near to Uncle Sans shores.

President Wilson. upon the recon-
mendation Of Attorney General Gregory
who made long investigation into the
case, has commuted the twenty-year SEN
tence of John Barton Miller of this city
to six years. with allowances for good
behavior.
AS Miller has been a model prisoner
in the Maryland state penitentiary at
Baltimore and is likely to continue to
behave properly, he will get one year and
seven months off the six-year sentence
giving him four years and five months
in all to serve. Miller began serving
his twenty-year sentence late in Decem-
ber, 1912. and before the middle of next
year. it is expected will be free man.
