is giving scientists a chance to test
some of the theories regarding the
propagation of very loud sounds. 1t
has long been known that a sound.
wave Of this sort does not spread
uniformly outward. There are re
gions there no sound at all is heard
while still farther away 1t is loud
and distinct. This was particularly
noticeable during the siege of Ant
werp, where the silent zone around
the city was extraordinarily regular.
The cause of these odd holes in a
big sound is explained by Prof. L.
Van Eycrdingen in a communication
to the Amsterdam Royal Academy.
1.-TWO chief lines have been fol

these facts says Prof. Van Everdin-

Prof. Dutrochet also tested the
force of flowing sap in a grape vine
stem. He used a bent tube, contain.
ing mercury, which was affixed to
the cut stem in such a manner that
any fluid coming from the plant
would have to lit the column of
quicksilver. In one of his expert.
ments it was shown that the sap
raised the column Of mercury to the
height of 80 inches. Prof. Dutrochet

THE saying, "a man is as old as
his arteries" is one that is Ia
i mlllar to most Of us, but that
hardening of the arterles-or arterIo'
gclerosls, as 1t is technically called
Is largely due to an improper diet, Is
not SO generally known as It should
be. This disease, which physicians
say is one Of the chief symptoms Of
old age, is caused by damaging the
arteries through. the circulation in
the blood Of certain poisonous sub
stances whose most common source
IS the putrefaction which takes place
in tho large intestine under certain
conditions. . ,
1t is well known that arterlo.
gclerosis is a progressive mOdiiCa'
ton of the blood vessel, which, by
coming into contact with blood that
is loaded with poisonous substances
and impurities, gradually become

Taft addressed an outpouring Of peo-
Pile here last night.
THE democrats ask you to continue
them in power because we now have
prosperity said Mr.. Taft. THE slight
est analysis of this claim will show
how utterly unwise the people will be
IL they allow it to have any effect upon
| their judgment in selecting the party
which is to conduct the affairs of the
nation for the next four years.
"On the instant that peace is de-
clared abroad there will be an .enor-
nous falling off in the great demand
for our products. With the speed of a
cable dispatch the conditions must
radically change. Great factories,
adapted only to the manufacture of
war munitions must cease to operate,
and the wage earners must be thrown
out of employment until the plants can
be made over to make peace products,
and until a new demand Tor such prod
ucts can be created.
This result can only be intensified by
what must go on in the European coun-
tries that were before the war our
chief competitors in production and
sale. A competition keener than we
have ever had to meet will invade our
markets, reduce our profits and reduce
our wages, unless we prepare to intro
duce a buffer between us and it, We
are now living in FOOLS paradise. and

argument to induce the people to live
