Cactus as a Heart Stimulant.
rom the Los Angeles Times.

From the Los Angeles Times
The occasional discovery of some useful
piece of knowledge that has been thrust
ing itself under our very noses for ages
and yet has ESCAPED detection. serves TO
emphasize the limitations of the sum total
of human knowledge as compared to the
still unsolved mysteries Of the universe
1t is recent discovery. for example
that the cactus plant contains an almost
invaluable heart stimulant. Formerly the
entire cactus family was regarded as
practically useless for man or beast 50
far as could be determined. Then it was
discovered that this plant made excellent
fodder for domestic animals when shorn
of its spines: and chemists found in the
leaves substance which appeared TO be
a powerful heart stmulant for human
beings. CuriouSly enough. this substance
does not affect the lower animals as it
does human beings, and this fact led
many investigator to question its po-
tency Most medicinal substances affect
the lower animals. or, at least. some of
them. in much the same manner as they
affect human beings. Cactus is an ex-
ceTtiou. however and. although il con-
tainS a heart stimulant Of such powerful
action that il must be administered with
caution. it produces no perceptible effects
on the animals that are commonly used
for the testing experiments.

REJECTS MAN ANGEL.
Michigan Court Orders Sex of Gem
etery Statue Changed.
.lrcm the Syracuse post-stnndard.

rom me syracuse IOst-Sfandard.
There comes from Detroit this report
OF judicial determination. by a court
claiming jurisdiction and authority, Of
question of great moment: "A male
angel at the gates of local cemetery
was declared too fat today. and judge
ordered the sculptor to remodel it into
a slim one and change its sex to that of
a female"
That an angel should be slender calls
for no citations from Scriptures or the
statutes. a corpulent angel would not
only offend our ideas of efficiency in
winged fight, but also our conceptions
of angelic beauty. So there Will be no
appeal from the learned judges de-
cision on that score.
But when he declares arbitrarily that
an angel must be woman, he let's
chivalry get the best Of his judgment
He will find no Scriptural authority for
making his angel feminine Without
consulting it. we make bold to declare
that wherever there is indication of sex
Of angels in the Bible the sex indicated
is masculine. This applies to angels
both Of light and darkness.
If the judge appeals to the judgment
of sculptors and painters, who have
been for centuries giving face and form
to the Scriptural definition of angels. he
will find at least that the male angel
has not been taboo. There are artists,
to be sure, who have found it more con-
sonant with their notions of the angelic
to picture angels as feminine. but no
one has ever denied that there Were
masculine angels. and it is the best
judgment of artists that the angel
should be always masculine.

ROWE DIRECTED AUDIT
OF STATE ROAD BOOKS
Purpose Was to Obtain Definite
Maintenance Cost to Maryland
During 1916, Says Secretary.

1t having been demonstrated to him
that the Automobile Club of Maryland
had not authorized the auditing of the
State roads commissions books. Chair
man Zouck of the Maryland state roads
commission Snt A letter to secretary
II. II. Luzius requesting that he
furnish him with a copy of the minutes
Of the meeting of the board of governors
authorizing the audit. He also asked
what action was taken by the board
on his request for a list of the mem
bers.
In reply he was informed there had
been no meeting Of the governors since
July owing to the fact that they had
been unable to secure a quorum, many
members being absent on vacations
The audit. he said. had been directed
by the president, II. NJ Rowe. The
secretary then went on to say:
My understanding is that the pur-
pose of the audit. so far as the state
is TO obtain a definite statement OF the
cost of road maintenance during the
year ending December 81, 1915. and the
verifcation of certain statements as to
the cost of maintenance in past years.
your printed report not being entirely
clear upon certain points in connection
with such maintenance cost.
answering your inquiry contained in
the postscript. as to list of our mem
bers, am unable to say just when a
meeting of the board of governors can
be had"
Upon receipt of this letter Chairman
ZoUck notified Secretary LuZiuS that he
had declined permission for the audit to
proceed until the board of governors
had passed resolution directing the
same
In other words, he did not recognize
the authority OF the president in this
matter when the latter refuses 10 act

Conservation of Labor.

From the Americas.
When the latest U-bcat campaign
began. the British government took
possession of all ship yards and began
the construction of standardized ships
to meet the destruction. Supplying of
the structural shapes, plates, machinery.
engines. etc. for this ship building was
accorded priority with munitions max
ing.
Conservation of the supply of skilled
labor was provided for early in the war
by the exemption of certain organiZa-
tions of skilled workmeL from mill
tary duty ana an agreement by them
that they would consent to the tempo
rary suspension of labor union restric-
tionS such as fixed hours and the closed
shop. Recently, in order to obtain more
men for munitions plants, an ingenious
plan for labor dilution" was adopted
men III some OF the exempted trades
Were transferred TO the munitions
plants. and unskilIed men were put in
their former places under the instruc-
ton of the men who We're LETT. Agita-

its atter-war status in the face of the

northwest are much nearer to the
primitive life than the average United
States Indian of the present genera
ton. Our Indians have become too
much civilized. Carlisle and Haskell
have done their deadly work. Capt.
Pratt, the founder and long the head of
the Carlisle Indian School. used to say
that his business was to kill the In
dian and put a white man in his place.
This has been done in far too many
cases, and even where no white man
has been put in the Indians place. the
Indian has generally been killed. AL
ready, in 1898. in the Santiago cam
paign, the Indians in the Rough Riders
were not distinguishable in their con-
duct and their accomplishments from
the remainder of the regiment. The old
trails were cold long ago. The Indians

like the hounds on the track of the
deer.

stance that the prevailing method of

lars, Is borrowed from the Indian.

of the stealthy, secret, unrisking de-
struction which was the Indians own
method. When Chief Black Hawk. aft
er fighting on the side of the British
against the Americans in the Tippe-
canoe campaign in 1911. went back to
his own people in the northwest, he
told his tribe that the white men were
fools: that they did not know the first
rule of warfare. "As all wise warriors
know" he said. the chief thing in
warfare Is to Kill the enemy and escape
yourself. But the white men walk out
into the open to get killed. and after
the fight Is over they send men out to
count the slain, and the side which has
had most men killed is deemed the VIC
tor" This is the way white mems war
fare has ever looked to the true In
dian But now it is deemed point of
aood fighting to XIII the enemy and
not to be Killed. Even the Indian sys-
tenn of killing the cnemys women and
children has been adopted by the most
efficient" European army. The Indian
theory has also been adopted at sea
most distinctly. All is changed there.

An Animal That Initiates Fruit.

From the Los Angeles Times.
An animal which the Filipinos call
caguan is one of the most curious
mammals that exist. Offering at the
same time the characteristics of mon
key and bat. 1t hangs from a branch
downward, its four feet together and
its head between its paws. In this po-
sition it is never disturbed by birds or
beasts of prey. for it resembles some
unpalatable fruit of great size. of
which there are many examples in the
tropical woods. The caguan harmo-
nizes so well with the bark of the tree
on which it seeks its roost that il feels
practically certain that it will not be
molested.
