Advices were received that work on

Corn showed stubborn resistance to

THE MOTIVES OF THE TWELVE
SENATOR'S.

| For purposes of foreign consumption
the senators who blocked the armed neu-
trality bill as "a little group of wilful
men representing no opinion but their
own" is perhaps we'll enough but for
home perusal it does not carry full CON
viction. There is no doubt that the men
were wilful in their opposition, most of
them at least; but there is grave doubt
if some of the senators were not acting
according to what they thought might
be the will of no uncomfortable portion
of their immediate constituents. In that
case they We're not representing their
own opinion alone. In fact we hesitate
to believe that a real American acting
from his own convictions, and unbiased
by any outside considerations, would
hold his nation up in such ridiculous
light as the United States is now held up
by reason of their action. However
much we might like to believe that the
IL men acted from miseonceived notions
of their own we cannot do so. Perhaps
they may have mistaken the temper OF
the constituents they are supposed to
perhaps they failed to gauge
the patriotic citizenship of tens of thous-
ands of men of foreign nativity or an
cestry. If so, they win hear from their
action sooner or later. We hope it will
be sooner. We hope that they will be
rebuked by their home states in a much
more convincing manner than President'E
Wilson accomplished when he used the |
quoted above. He was alto
yether too mild in his characterization,
md not entirely accurate either accord
ng to our way of thinking.

POISON GAS BEETLES.
Fumes With Which Bombardisrs Keep
Their Enemies at Bay.


Most people think that the use of
poison gas In warfare is purely
human, or perhaps one should say In
human, idea. Yet the plan has been
adopted by nature. Certain kinds Of
beetles known as bombardiers and
called by scientists Brachinus make
free use Of poisonous fumes to keep
their enemies at bay.
A typical species known as Brachi-
nus crepitans Is largely attacked by
certain ground beetles. These ground
beetles are very active and can easily
overtake the bombardiers. Just as they
get within reach, however. a very
strange thing happens. The bombar-
der has the power OF ejecting pecul-
lar liquid, which, when 1t comes into
contact with the atmosphere, bursts
into a sort OF pale green fame. This is
Immediately followed by kind OF
smoke.
Now, this smoke has remarkable
effect upon the pursuer. No sooner do
the fumes come into contact with the
ground beetle than the creature is
blinded and stupened. A strange pa
ralysis overtakss the insect. and 1t
seems unable to move any farther.
Quite a while elapses before the ground
beetle RECEIVERS. IL 1he meantime the

SHARPNESS Of Madmen,

In Sir william Buffers autobiogra-
ply there is an amusing story about
six insane soldiers who escaped while
the corporal who had brought them on
board the troopship left at Dur
ban and who mingled with the 1900
sane men on the decks. The problem
of the voyage was to find who were
the six madmen. BY the time the boat
reached Cape Town twenty-six men
were officially under observation, and
not one OF the six was among them.
In the end the crazed half dozen were
identified as those who had taken an
especially eager part in the lunatic
hunt.

LIFE OF THE WORLD.
Traditions That IL VIII Last Only
5000 Years.

5000 Years.
There is a general and widespread
notion, which the curious investigator
viii find scattered throughout both
medieval and modern literature, that
the world will last 6,o0o years from the
late Of its creation. An inscription In
sne of Martin Luther's books reads as
follows: Elijah, the prophet, said that
the world had existed 1000 years be-
fore the law was given From Adam to
Moses, would exist 1900 years under
the Mosaic law from Moses to Christi
and 1000 years under the Christian
hispensation, and then 1t would be
burned"
In the Etrurian account Of the crea-
ton (by Suidas) there Is a similar ira
aition, The Creator spent 5000 years
in creation, and 1900 more are allotted
to the earth"
In the black letter edition Of Foxes
Acts and Monuments" 1882 there is
4 whole sermon given with the 5000
year limit Of the earth's duration as
text
Some writer's contend that the "six
days" referred to In Holy Writ really
mean 5000 years and that the seventh
day" is a type Of the coming millen-
mum, or Sabbath Of a thousand
years"
The psalmist says. "For a thousand
years are In thy sight as yesterday"

The building OF a public dock on the
shore Of Lake Champlain in Burlington
wonld greatly aid the shippers of Yer
mont products to points west, according
TO the claim of the advocates of the
measure now before the Vermont legis-

their products partially by water and
consequently. at lesser rates than nov
paid. The improvement would not be Of

particular class of shippers but would

ETIQUETTE OF THE FLAG.
Rules Governing the Use Of the Star

There are many citizens who are not
familiar with the rules governing the
use OF the stars and stripes. To them
the following hints on flag etiquette
will be Of interest:
The flag should not be hoisted before
sunrise nor allowed to remain up after
sunset. It should not be displayed
upon stormy days.
When the flag Is displayed at half
staff for mourning It Is TO be lowered
to that position from the top OF the
stan. II Is afterward hoisted to the
top before 1t is finally lowered.
When the Gag Is formally raised all

rather in making preparations for en-.
tirely changed conditions. In case of a
declaration of war by the United States
there would simply be the continuation
of the operations which have been con-
Quoted for more than two years, because
the United States government itself
could not furnish the munitions demand

Just before leaving the United States
Won Bernstorf blandly remarked that he
had never lied to newspaper man since
he had been in his governments service
in Washington. That is negative vir-
tue, and of no great value. Moreover. he
omitted to say what he had done against
the interests of the United States during
that period of service. If Won Bernstorff
is true exponent Of German diplomacy,
the United States can get along without
it for quite spell.

The Burlington News apparently is la
boring under misapprehension in the
belief that the pay of Vermont legisla-
tors is So per diem instead of 81, for it
says: "The inducement to lengthy SEES
sion OF SO per diem wage for legislators
cannot be overlooked by the present leg
islature." 1t has been some time since
Vermont got her law-making and law
tinkering done for 50 per day. The sti-
pend of the legislators in Vermont has
been shooting upward like the cost OF
living during the past decade, until now
the salary paid in Vermont is on par
ity with the salary paid in many richer
and more populous states of the union.
