Plans alone won't win the war, but
there is satisfaction in the reflection
,that all our war plans have been big.
.two-hsted plans, unhesitatingly adopt
ed, says Philadelphia Press. When
we set about filling q war chest we
poured $4,000 600, 900 into it as a frst
installment. When we set about rails.
ing an army we enrolled about 10000.
600 young men from which to choose.
Red Cross necessity presented itself,
and 30 we raised more than hundred
million dollars for that In single
week. About shipbuilding we have
been q bit slow In starting, but before
long we shall have that project work-
ing on g liberal and comprehensive
scale. That Is the American way.

How q Bullet Drops.

In what position does rifle bullet
return to earth? In order to solve the
problem a special stand was erected
in Germany recently, and experiments
were carried on along the shores Of q
lake the surface Of which was frozen,
says the Popular Science Monthly. The
Ice was covered with strong plaaks.
It was shown that an infantry rifle
bullet shot upward in vertical direc-
ton passes downward In the same po-
sition in which it passed upward-in
other words, it came back again to
earth with its bottom first.
Why was 1t not upset at its culmi.
nation point2 The answer is that the
propelling force ceases to act at the
elimination point. But the twist has
as yet not stopped, and therefore 1t
starts It's fall with twist. Even on
impact the twist has not stopped, as
was indicated by the warping OF the
wood fbers in the planking on the Ice.

HUMAN FACE ON CRABS BACK

: A crab with a human face is one OF
the oddities to be found in japanese
waters. Not only that, but the face Is
surprisingly like that Of q japanese
warrior in the "old, unhappy, far-of
days of the past" This face Is formed
by the strange dguration of the crabs

crawling on the sand Is to see what
apparently Is a human face moving
across the beach.
According to japanese history, the
nation was beset by plague Of piracy
few centuries ago, says the New
York World. The coasts were ravaged,
vessels sunk and terror spread gener-
ally by marauding sea rovers. Then
the people organized feet and set
out to exterminate the pirates. A
great battle followed In which all OF
the freebooters were slain.

IN "PRUNE STREET PRISON.
Some WeII-known Men Were Confined
In Philadelphia Jail When lmpris-
onment for Debt Prevailed.

The terms "Prune street prison" may
be more readily understood by a read
er if he shall simply bear in mind
that Prune street was once the name
of what is now Locust street from
Fourth to Sixth, the change having
been made about, probably, forty years
ago, says the Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin.
AS to the prison, 1t existed on the
north side of Prune street and ended
below Sixth and was in the nature Of
an extension of the Walnut street pris-
on at the southeast corner Of Sixth and
Walnut streets. At q time when i'm
prisonment for debt was punishment
under the law of Pennsylvania, the
Prune street prison was used chiefly
for that purpose. In the latter part
of the eighteenth century and the ear
ly part of the nineteenth, 1t sometimes
contained many well known as well as
humble men who were unable to meet
the demands Of their creditors. Rob
ert Morris was one Of the prisoners
for several years. During the prolong-
ed period Of his dispensation in trying
to staye of the swarms Of importunate
men to whom he owed money, he would
sometimes speak or write of "Prune
street" as If the jail loomed up before
him like thing Of dread. While Nor
ris was there, William B. Wood, the
eminent actor, whose long life was az
terward associated with the first and
the second Chestnut street theater,
was one of his companions In misery.

lS25 apiece. Two of the ladies paid,
the other eleven electing to serve three
days in jail-the alternative. Mrs.

poas Must Leave England.

Mans faithful friend, the dog, is
being driven from England, because he
eats too much, said John Forbes OF
this city, who recently returned from
Liverpool, says the Cleveland Press.
With famine threatening the British
Isles, dogs are being sent away, espe-
cially to the United States.
"Every member Of royalty, who kept
immense kennels, has given up these
dogs" said Forbes. "I could have had
q fine blooded Irish setter for So If l

chased some fine dogs, among them

BRIGHTER OUTLOOK IN CHINA.

Civil war in China, which few
weeks ago seemed imminent, has been
averted by compromise, and the split
which threatened to destroy the re-
public is likely to be healed without
leaving any serious scar. The Chi
nese have had their, taste Of civil war,
and are in no mood for another
experience. The militarists and the
southern constitutionalists are each
extending olive branches, and the
election Of new parliament will
doubtless put an end to their troubles.
But If China is averse to civil war,
she is unQuestionably eager for partici-
patton in the war against Germany.
The constitutionalists, who see IN q
German triumph the downfall of con-
stitutional democracy throughout the
world, are as strong for war as are the
leaders Of the military party. says
Cleveland Plain Dealer IF there Is any
antiwar party In China its numbers
are small. The trouble at Peking
arose largely because Of the desire of
each party to assume responsibility for
the conduct Of the war. The parlia-
ment resented any attempt to act with
out its authorization, while the anti
parllamentarians sought to put the re-
sponsibility In the hands Of military
clique.
