THAT KILL TINE
They Always Show Up the Dizziness
and Persistency Of the
Other Fellow.

Now and then you see man 80
patient that he even can sit down and
wait his turn to try to work puzzle.
No, we'll take that back; there isn't
any such man. When some fellow who
ought to be at work pulls three rings
out of his pocket and invites some
body to do something or another with
them, all hands want the rings at the
same time. The dull fellow who gets
them first can't do the trick, but he
hasn't sense enough to give up and let
you have them. You ask him to let
you try it. but the stubborn fool works
away. Finally he gives 1t up. You
reach for the rings, but another fellow
grabs them. OF course, he Is too stupid
to do anything with them, but
he holds to them as If they were his
child. s.ITl
At last you get them. You have
had them hardly ten minutes when an
'impudent whelp reaches over and
catches hold Of thenI Il looks q 4
- going to try to take them away ho1
you. After you give It up, several
others fail on 1t. When the rush 10
over, no one in the crowd would give
two cents to know how the trick IL
done, and the fellow who owns the
rings puts them in his pocket and goes
on about his l0afing.

Lluht Measuring.

The candle power Of two sources OF
light cannot be compared by looking
at the lamps themselves. The color
Of light and the intensity are very de
ceiving to the eye.
The following Is a simple 1aethod Of
comparing Illuminating values:
IAN extremely simple light measur.
ing device, or photometer, can be i'm.
provised by placing sheet of paper so
that the light from two lamps fall on II
at the same angle and then holding a
pencil or other small Opaque object at
a little distance from the paper so that
It casts two shadows side by side.
IF the lamps are equally distant,
the one of higher candle power will
cast the darker shadow; If the paper is
moved so as to make the shadows
equally dark, the more distant lamp
is the more powerful in proportion to
the square of the distances" Electric

IS OLDEST CHRISTIAN NATION
! Abysslnia's Claim to the Title Found.
! ed on TeehnleaIity Entitled
j to Credence.

/ Abyssinia claims to be the Oldest
Christian nation.
/. The claim seems founded on tech.
nicality entitled to credence, but
which has not accomplished much for
Christianity In the last nineteen hun.
dred years.
Rulers Of Abysslnia are proud Of de-
scent from the queen of Sheba and
from Solomon as the result of the for.
mer's visit to Jerusalem. As Solomon
had many wives and an immense
harem he may have married the
queen of Sheba, but there Is no testi-
mony to the fact other than the tradi-
ton in Abyssinia, which was the an
cient Sheba, with which the Jews had
large commerce. The country was
Christianized through monks from
Egypt, and it is said that one Of the
kings in the second century declared
Christianity the official religion, thus
antedating all other nations. The mat
ter is really of only academic import
ancnsa,, EEL. ~ 81 ,lnshu
We are apt tturt1hnk 2of the Abyssin-
Jams as heathen negroes STEPPED In the
deepest barbarism. On the contrary,
they are q rather virile people, as all
who have attacked them know. They
have civilization that Is suited to
their environment, and while it may
not be up to the standard Of sp1endor
which the queen Of Sheba Is supported
TO have maintained, it is comfortable
enough for those who live there. In
recent years many explorers have
found much to surprise them, and it Is
within the memory Of this generation
that Italy made an unsuccessful at
tempt to seize the country.

The kaiser made a mistake when he
suggested that American. ships desir-
Ing protection from his submarines
be painted with broad vertical stripes
alternativeH white and red" Ameri-
cans are 81 peace-loving people, but
they have TOO much self-respect to
permit any: foreign country to pre-
scribe protection symbols for their
nse. The stripes on the flag Of their
country are the only stripes they will
use. When the protection they afford
.is disregarded, Americans will either
have to take place with the China
men, who wear Queus as evidences Of
their subsection, or take an appeal to
the ancient god Of Mars, who de-
mands blood as prerequisite to all
OF his decisions. All that Americans
can do at, the present time is to de-
voutly hope and trust that no such
appeal may be forced upon them.

ON THE VERGE OF WAR.

During the past few days events OF
the first magnitude have followed each
other with alarming rapidity. Our
country is on the verge of war with
Germany. The nerves of its people are
strung like those Of soldiers who are
sleeping on their arms. They may be
reused by bugle call at any moment.
There never was time in our his
tory when greater moderation was re-
quired.
While preparing for the war which
may be forced upon us, every true
friend Of America will do all in his
power to keep the fires of peace burn
ing on the affairs of civilization.
4 It is no time for Boosting or denun-
citation. No time for demagogues to
proclaim their hatred for any people.
4 The blood Of every people in every
warning nation flows through the
veins Of Americans. They have all
helped to build this nation which is
dedicated to freedom; and, if needs be,
they will all join in whatever sacri-
fee that may be necessary. e
Let us have faith that right makes
might; and in that faith feeltassured
that, come what may, every citizen Of
this land OF ours stands ready to do
his duty.
