WHAT DOES DEATH MEAN?
An Artist Called 10 "the Chance to Elk
pIore the Infinite"

RlOfS bIG ittittlC1
A new definition of death is that by
a French artist, who has now tested
the truth of his own words. Death"
said he, sis the chance to explore the
infinite" The definition is In the same
mood as that of the late Charles Froh-
nan as he went down on the Lusita-
MIA. 1t is a bit more definite, however,
than death is life's most beautiful
adventure 1t expresses the nature
of the adventure.
This French artist, it seems, was en-
amored of the space idea. He was
ever viewing the world as a vessel voy-
aging. He ~endeavored with artist vi
sion to visualize the world as rushing
through infinitude by other worlds or
in a stream of comets, planets, aster-
iods, i'll And his dream was of
flights across the CULTS to Mars, to
Venus, outside the solar system, to
Sirius and the greater suns. With
paint he strove to render what Goethe
expresses in the song Of the archan-
gels in the opening of Faust"
All the kinds of US pass over, willing
ly, reluctaD iy. We have no choice,
and there are no exemptions. Proba-
bly, we have no choice concerning what
death is to be. Whether it mean *
tinction or confers Immortality, wheth-
er it is a glorious adventure or ushers
us into another sordid existence bound
ed by another death, we have no pow
er to determine. We await its coming
and it's solution, both. We are its vic
tins or its benefciaries, but we have
no power to change its destiny. The
bold dreamer welcomes it as oppor-
tunity. The tired spirit is ~reconciled
to it as rest. Perhaps it will bring to
every man his different hope. Let US
so trust.-Minneapolis Journal.

firing squad at dawn-and the English
are convinced they've nipped some
thing big in the bud, whereas they've
only put out of the way a dangerous
little weasel who's ready to bite any

dryly.
'This Woodhouse arrives In Alexan-

Connecting rods are designed to

are made Of special carbon steel. Are
unusually strong and dependable. Each
rod weighs only Al ounces. Yet they

Gus problem to the United States. The

country Is very large, They are repre-
sented IN many lines of industry.
Especially are they active in coal
production In the steel plants every
where. in the big ore ranges and in
many other lines of industry. Certain
strikes of the !. W. w in Minnesota, in
the Pacific slope states and in the South
were promoted by these aliens in sym
pathy with Germany. But the great
majority OF the subjects Of Emperor

Investigated the situation say have been
pro Iouncedly anti-Ccrman.

500 will Immediately be forced to- leave

They also will have to keep away from
the water fronts everywhere, and from
