New Ideas About Iron Ace.

The idea is gaining strength that the
iron age may have been begun long
before the discovery. about 700 Il. c.,
OF the art of smelling ores, and II
seems not improbable that the native
iron from meteorites was quite COM
monty used for tools and weapons In
prehistoric times. At that period a
little metal would have gone long
way. 1t is only quite recently that me-
teorites found have been recognized
and recorded: but c. F. thinner, listing
the known demonstrating meteorites,
nearly all collected within the last 100
years. shows that even these might
supply about $50 tons of iron. or this
material 90 per cent is malleabe nickel
iron alloy. Fragments suitable for
mounting on handles as crude imple-
ments can be easily detached, and
could he shaped by very simple meth
DDS. Tools of meteOritic iron, more
over, have been discovered In use. The
AZtecs of Mexico, at the time Of the
Spanish conquest had daggers and
knives of iron, said to have been de
rived from the sky; and more recently
the iron of meteorites has been found
in use among the American Indians
and the Eskimos.

JAPANESE MISSION
LANDS ON U.S.. SOIL
PROCLAIM THAT THEY COME AS
COMRADES IN PRESENT
GIGANTIC STRUGGLE.
PLEDGE JAPARS LOYALTY TO US.
Say That Mikado's Land Backs Up
Principles for Which Our Gov
eminent Is Fighting.

A Pacific Port-A Japanese mission
to the United States arrived here Mon
day and proclaimed that its members
came officially "as comrades in a gi-
gantic struggle which involves the
liberties and the sacred rights of man
kind"
1--WE are here" declared Viscount
X. Ishii, ambassador extraordinary
and plenipotentiary responding to an
address of welcome from the may
or, 'as the representatives of Japan, on
a mission of friendship and good will
We come as allies in common
cause"
When Viscount Ishii made his dec
laration of alliance and friendship, the
cheering became thunderous as the
crowd caught the significance of his
utterance, and the viscount, who had
'been reading in a moderate voice from
his manuscript, continued in vigorous
tones:
This, perhaps, is neither the time
nor the place for a detailed exposition
of the plans and hopes which have in,
spired our mission" he said. 1T is
sufficient that you see in our presence
here Japan's pledge of loyalty to the
principles for which America has
thrown down the gage of battle.
'In this crisis of the worlds affairs
we are proud to call ourselves the
allies of the great American republic
and we are honored by your trust
and good will.
81 only can add that this splendid
demonstration, at the very moment Of
placing our feet upon your hospitable
shores, fills ur hearts with gratitude
and inspires every member of this
commission with the conviction thai
the objects of our visit to America
are already guaranteed"

1t is by these roads and railways
coming down the valley converging to-
ward Paris and the heart of France
that the German rush was made. 1t
was in utilizing our beautiful French
roads, the convenient network of rail-
ways, and the canals from the north
and the east that the Boches thought
to reach Paris in few weeks and par
alyze all resistance and any offensive
effort. "Nach Paris !" they cried, joy
ously, emptying the cellars of Cham
payne and Brie. Their career ended
wretchedly on the banks of the Marine,
and pursued by the armies of Joffre
and the heroic little English army, they
fell back precipitately to the banks OF
the Aisne.
After the bombardment of the Cloth
hall of Ypres, the belfry of Arras, the
cathedral of Reims, and a hundred
other useless outrages on buildings cell
ebrated for their beauty and their ar
tistic and historic interest, there is
unanimous fear in civilized countries
that the retiring Germans will destroy
the beautiful towns Of Belgium and
France. The town of Laon possesses
some remarkable buildings, as well as
museum, art and antiquity, and it has
library rich in manuscripts. Archie
Ologists and tourists recognize the in
terest Of the Palais de Justice, the So
issons gate, the Chenizelles postern.
The destruction of the cathedral will
be an irreparable loss. 1t was built
in the thirteenth century, is one of
the largest and has been better re.
stored than any other in the north of
France. Two towers each $50 feet
high, rise on either side of the porch.
The west front is-after Notre
Dame de Parasitic most remarkable

1t is fianked by two towers, each 10

plain to the summit of the hill the ma

26O KANSAS CITY BARS CLOSE

Included among the places closed
were two breweries. the bars of virtual

Torpedo-Boat Destroyers.

Most people are familiar with the
ordinary torpedo-boat, a swift vessel
of from 400 to 900 tons in displace-
ment, carrying no defensive armOr,
but armed with tubes for discharging
the deadly torpedoes. To counterfeit
these wasps of the sea, type of ves-
sci was designed of about double the
size of torpedo-boats, a little greater
speed, and in addition to torpedo
tubes, armed with rapid-fire six to
twelve-pounder guns, for the avowed
purpose of destroying torpedo-boats.
Lately all the great nations have
stopped building torpedo-boats. as
originally designated, and are building
topedo-boat destroyers. Recent en-
gagements have developed the fact
that torpedo-boat destroyers are used
almost wholly as torpedo-boats. So,
they are really battleship destroyers.
To defend the capital ships for tor
pedo attack the dreadnaughts and bat
tic cruisers are armed with secondary
batteries of rapid-fire guns from four
to six inches in diameter. One we'll
placed shell from gun of that size
will ordinarily put destroyer out Of
business, as the destroyers have no
defensive armor whatever.

which can save the arduous task of

by the fact that very few American

NO PASSPORTS TO PEACE MEET
Allied Nations Frawn On Gathering Of
Socialists at Stockholm.

Washington-There will be neither
labor nor Socialist delegates represent
ing England, Italy, France or America
at the proposed international Socialis-
tic conference to be held in Stock
hold next month.
Russia will be represented there,
but only by delegates who will have
no authority to speak for the new re-
public.
Following the official announcement
in the house that England, France and
Italy had agreed to withhold passports
from such OF their nationals as desire
to participate in the Socialist interna-
tional conference, it was learned that
this attitude was taken at the sugges-
ton of the United States.
Confidential information reaching
tn state department from Minister
Maurice Francis Egan at Copenhagen
and Minister Ira Nelson Morris at
Stockholm, showed that the German
Socialists, who have been dominated
by the German ministry, were plan
ming to control the conference.
AS a result of this information, Sec
rotary Lansing made it plain a few
days ago that under no circumstances
would the United States issue passports
to American Socialists to attend the
conference. This information also
was communicated to the British
French and Italian embassies here and
by them, to their home governments.

Emerald is Ancient Jewel.

The emerald has been known since
early times, both in Europe and in GER

ii with the highest rank and varied
lore. Mention is found of 1t in writings
dating 300 years before the Christian
era, and in the writings of Pliny, he
particularized somewhat on its prop
critics and supposed medicinal virtues
and was even shrewd enough to sus-
pect its identity with the much more
