An Early Ironclad.

Many people imagine that the first armored ship was the ''iron cased frig- ate" Gloria, launched for the French navy in 1857, yet, according to the Pop ular Science Monthly, the Dutch built an armored vessel nearly 30) years ear Her. That was in 15S1. when Antwerp was besieged by the Sp m lrds. The Dutch took one of their t''.gest ships, cut her down and erected on the deck a battery with armored and sloping sides, within which they mounted eight of the heaviest guns the factories of the day could produce The roof of the battery formed an armored breast work for men armed with crossbows and shotguns, and there were gratings in the roof to provide ventilation for the battery below. A contemporary picture of the Finis Beili, as she was called, bears striking resemblance to the Merrimac, which was, designed and built on precisely the same principles.

Tendency Is What. Counts.

Of course there can be no such thing as. perfection in this vale of tears, but the man who turns his back upon it on that account hasn't good common sense. The man who is low down and tending upward is nearer perfection than the man who is high up and tending down ward Tendency is the profoundest fact in life-in religion, education, society, politics. When an astronomer sees n comet for the first time lie win ascer- tain its direction. even if its progress is only Il minute or two. and will de- scribe it's course among the stars for weeks ahead. He simply studies the tendency, and one can tell where q man will be ten years from now by the, same sort of mathematics. That tendency may reach human perfection if 1t is. started right and the direction maintained.-Ohio State Journal

 He was born in Glasgow Oct ?. 1853. and was known among his fellow sci entists as a man of brilliant imagina ton and daring conceptions. It was ill 1907 that his announcements concern ing radium set at each other the ee,' tricians and chemists of the Britisl! Association For the Advancement oi Science. Tn 1913 Sir William and Professors Collie and Patterson star tied the world by an announcement of the possibility of the transmutation of one element into another.
 Sir William. however. had become internationally famous earlier than any of the dates above. His work with Lord Rayleigh on the solution O. the problem concerning the difference in density between atmospheric nitr" gen and that obtained from compounds: led to the discovery of argon in FS91 The periodic law immediately suggest ed the existence of a number of otIIr elements of the same type. and Sir William succeeded in a short time iI2 discovering helium. Three furthe elements of the same group-neun kryptOn and Xenon-were afterwar , discovered by Sir William. associated with Morris w. TraverS.

Weak Kidneys Make
 Weak Bodies
Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches
 and Ills of Canaan People.


 As one weak link weakens n chain, so may weak kidneys weaken the whole body and hasten the final break ing down.
 Overwork, strains, colds and other causes injure the kidneys, and gen. orally when their activity is lessened the whole body suffers.
 Aches and pains and languor and urinary ills frequently come, and there is an ever-inceasing tendency towards dropsy, gravel or fatal Bright's disease. When the kidneys fail there is no real help for the sufferer except kidney help.
 Doan's Kidney Pills act directly ont the kidneys. Canaan testimony is proof of their effectiveness.
 W. Wyckoff, West Main St., Canaan, says: My kidneys were disordered and suffered from pains in the small of my back. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills advertised, got supply at Far. mum &s Co.'s Drug Store. It wasn't long after using them that was re. lieved."

U, $. WILL DEMAND
 MAIL NOTE REPLY
British Response Not Satis-
 factory to Washington.

The American state department vii immediately acknowledge to Ambas sador Page at London receipt of the mail reply from Great Britain and in form him that it is not considered re spOnSe to the American note.
 The demand for an early reply on the principles involved will be repeated.
 The Netherlands minister called at the state department to see Acting See, retary of State Polk regarding a rumoi that the United States might send war ships as conveys to American mail car rying ships. The Netherlands diplo- mat was told the rumOr was without any foundation.
 Direct relations between the British mail seizures and blacklisting of Amer ican firms was pointed out by state department officials after the arrival of the preliminary reply to the mail note.
 The extreme irritation which the ad- ministration feels over England's delay in answering the mail note is partially because it was through the alleged ille- gal practice of opening mail of Ameri- can firms that she obtained much of the information on which the blacklist was compiled.
 The preliminary mail reply received is altogether unsatisfactory, officials said, because it ignores the contention of principle expounded in the American note and deals only with specific cases which have no immediate bearing on the demand for {: reform in British practices.

OF STOLEN

CHARLES GLASS, WHOSE LITTLE

GYPsIES, SAYS PICTURE SENT
NOT THAT OF THE BOY.

About ten days ago, when the re-
port started and was generally cir
culated that a white child was being
held by gypsies at some point in
the south, and that there was little
one with a band of these strangers
in the northwestern city limits, Off
GERS bestirred themselves in an en-
deavor to connect the little stranger
here with the boy, the son of Charles
Glass of Jersey City, N. J., stolen
some months ago, it is alleged, by
gypsies who had made their way to-
ward the south.
Among those who conducted an IN
vestigation on his own hook, was
Chief Deputy Carl Hoffman, IN the
Office of Sheriff Ellis, who, not salts
fled with the strenuous denials on
the part Of the gypsy band that the
child they had in their possession
was a stolen one, but Deputy Hoff-
man had picture made and sent
this on to the parent. Yesterday aft
ernoon at 1:50 o'clock, a telegram
was received from Glass, who ac-
Inowledged the receipt Of the photo
