NEW DEFENSE OF EASEMENT.
Friends Say He Was In Ireland Il
STOP Not to start Rebellion

London July 20.-The Rev. Father
Ryan. who saw Sir Roger Easement
at Tralee. Ireland. shortly after thu.
latter's arrest, has written the follow
ing letter to Gaven Duffy. one of Case
ments lawyers:
Easement saw me In Traiee, April
II. He told me he had come to Ire
land to stop a rebellion then impend :
ire. He asked me to conceal his iden %
tity as well as his object in coming
until he should have left Tralee lest
any attempt be made TO seize him.
"On the other hand he was very anx
ious that | would spread the news
broadcast after he had left"
Lady Eick Gore Booth, who sends
the letter to the Daily News. adds:
1T seems clear from this letter that
Sir Roger simply threw away his every
chance of life and liberty in his reck-
less courage and generous attempt 10
save Ireland from the boodshed and
misery OF rebellion" Both John Dill
len and Sir Edward Fry-hay written
strongly of the mischievous effects on
Ireland OF yet another execution. and
IL adds another horror to the already
crucial situation to think II Easement
Is hanged 1t will be the result Of his
self sacrificing actions which even his
enemies must respect.

A Scrap Of Paper.

According to LIE Figaro the famous
expression. "A scrap OF paper" was
used as long ago as the eighteenth
century by Lord Chesterfield, and,
strangely enough, to brand the CON.
duct of an ancestor of William 1.-THE
great Frederick himself, The latter,
betraying the French alliance TO ne
gotiate in an undeThand way with Eng
land, had ordered his minister, Pole
wis, to explain to Lord Chesterfield
that the invasion of Bohemia had not
been real act OF aggression, but a
precaution Of legitimate defense taken
against the threats and snares Of aus-
TRAN politicians. Il very much dOu It,
replied Lord Chesterfield, If a. 50
fears, whether they be well or i'll
founded, are sufficient grounds Tor
taking up arms against a neighJOr.
The most solemn treaties are only
scraps of paper If the powers that be-
have sufficient reasons to authorize
their being broken" This CONVERSE
ton Is related by Chesterfield himself

Villa Still at Large.

According to the latest reports
Just before going to press, Villa,
the Mexican Bandit and outlaw,
is still fleeing from the American
and Mexican troops.
1t is understood that the Ameri-
can troops will not be withdrawn
from Mexico until they have cap
tured Villa, and that the Use of the
railroads for furthering the hunt
is much needed. 50 far much sup
plies have been forwards by the
railroads, but not sufficient.
Twenty Apache Indians have
gone into Mexico and will take up
the trail of bandit Villa. In1ica-
tons are that the troops will con-
tinue a relentless pursuit of Villa.
The cavalry is now beyond COM

Nluht Photouraphy,

The amateur photographer who likes
TO make indoor views after dark will
find the new gas-filled tungsten lamp
much superior TO the inconvenient,
dust-producing flashlight. According
to the Electrical World, the gas-filled
lamp produces far more actinic rays
than the ordinary incandescent light,
and a room lighted by 200-watt lamp
can be photographed in fraction Of
the time required with light Of the
old style. In room Of ordinary size
with walls and ceiling of a medium
tint, and with the camera stop open
to number eight on the diaphragm
scale, an exposure of from two to four
minutes will be enough to get excel
lent interior views. Photographers
now also use the gas-flled lamp in the
daytime, to illuminate dark corners
and shadowy places when they are
taking indoor views.

Quiet Endowment.

Ono of the arts OF life is to he ablo
to sit still and to enjoy. To the hur-
ried people it is an art almost I'M
known. The reason Is that their hur-
rying keeps the springs OF being trou-
bled. Even in those moments when
they are forced to be still they feel
hurried. The truth is that hurry has
become part OF their nature. Troy
sometimes reach the state where It
seems impossible for them ever to
know peace. The only peace they can
achieve is a kind of undergraduates
In hurry. The more hurried they are
Their hurry is like drinking or taking

The ballad, or that form OF IL which

one predecessor Of the newspaper as a
commentator on events. It was writ
ten for the people and sold to the
people. Printed on poor paper and
passed from hand to hand, copies Of
early ballads were seldom preserved.
Fortunately several men Of the sew
enteenth century began to make col
lections OF ballads, and the copies of
broadsides printed before 100 that
are now in existence are supposed to
number about 10000. Soon after 100
the printed form of the ballad was

Persian Grain,

The great arid wastes OF PCrs
would lead one to believe that iae
country does not produce sufficient
grain TO supply the needs Of its popI-
lation. Such, however, is not the case,
and considerable quantities of grain
are exported each year The princi-
pal grains grown are wheat, barley
and rice. Corn is planted in small
Quantities, but is only used for roast
ing ears. Oats and rye are seldom
sown. Except along the Caspian coast
Persian agriculture is dependent al
most entirely on irrigation. The agri-
cultural implements used in Persia are
of the most primitive kind. Flows arc
made from forks Of small trees with
the addition OF share Of iron. It is
stated to be doubtful, however,
whether the yield of grain would DO
greatly increased by using modern
plows, as there is no sod and this
crude implement seems to stir the soil
fairly well.
