CHIEF STANTON HOME FROM
WASHINGTON CONFERENCE
international Fire Engineers Postpone
jacksonville Meeting Indefinitely.

Chief Howard L. Stanton of the To-
cal fire department has returned home
after attending a conference of the In
ternational Association of Fire Engi-
neers in Washington last Thursday.
The conference decided to postpone
indefinitely the October meeting OF
the international association which
was to have been held in Jacksonville.
Fla, this action being taken in view of
the war the engineers being of the
opinion that their place at the pres
ent time and for the remainder of the
war is at home at the head of their
departments, ready to protect lives
and property. A conference on the
matter with President Wilson which
was expected to have been held Fri
day morning was delayed owing to
the late arrival of kilograms from en-
gfneers unable to be present.
If the war continues it is feared that
the railroads, by October, would be
unable to provide freight accommoda-
tions for the numerous exhibits that
go to make up a successful convention
and also that the absence of promi-
rent chiefs who would be unable to
leave their home cities, would spell
failure for the convention.

The Lona Lived Farmer.

Man armed with a hoe protects him. self from the agencies of death more completely than man with any other fife defense weapon. The United States bureau of statistics has discovered that important fact by study of the rec Ords of life insurance companies. Then .'the hard life of the farmer" is longer. not because it simply seems longer, but because he lives in the midst of protective agencies. The statistics of the entire country show that farmers live longer than all others, fifty eight years being their average span of life. BOokkeepers and office assistants live the shortest lives. thirty-Six years be- ing their average limit of endurance. Among the office workers tuberculosis is the worst enemy of life, 35 per cent of them having died of that disease.

A Way CriminaIs Have.

What is it that chains a man to the use of his real initials when he relies upon an assumed name to keep him from trouble or the penitentiary?
 In their recognition and analysis of this fact the shrewder detectives seem today one jump in advance of the sharpest crooks.
 This persistence in writing the tell tale initials has been the chief factor in the arrest of many notorious crimi- nals.
 Some obscure mental habit holds them to the familiar characters of their signature" explained a detective. '"They seem unable to get away from the letters their hands have been ac- custOmed to form, not even when life and liberty depend on It."
 Criminal history is full of testimony to this interesting psychological fact. And it is proving big. factor in run, ming down the kings of croOkdOm.--7 Seattle POst-Intelligencer.

surprises h War

In warfare the elements of 'ssurpris@'' counts for very great deal.
 Troy would not have been captured by the Greeks had it not been for the surprise sprung upon the Trojans by the gigantic wooden horse in which Greek soldiers concealed themselves, stealing out in the nighttime to open the gates of the city to the Greek army.
 Pyrrhus would never have gained his victory over the Romans had he not brought his elephants into the field. These gigantic creatures as they blow ed their way through the ROman ranks struck terror into the hearts of the sol 1iers who had never before engaged in battle in which elephants took part.
 Hannibal, the great Carthaginian gen. eral, would never have captured one of the chief Alpine passes had he not hit on the happy idea of fastening torches to the horns of 2,OOO oxen, lighting the torches when it got dark and driving tha beasts toward the Ro- man camp. Seeing the moving lights, the company guarding the pass thought their comrades were in danger and hastened to their rescue, thus leaving the way clear for Hannibal and his men to get through.-Pearson's.

That Old Sea ssrpSnt.

Major o. Smith, an officer of the Swedish army, describes 1E Nature q sea serpent which he saw some time ago in the Baltic sea. near Stockholm. "At 2:25 D. m.," he writes, ''we sud- denly saw a movement of the water like the ripple of wave less than. 800 feet from us. The sea was calm and there was no boat or anything else that could cause such a movement. Looking more attentively, all of us saw very distinctly head like that of an enormous serpent, larger than that of a man, slightly elongated, sur mounting serpentine body about sev- enty-five feet long. The creature was undulating, making at least ten dis tinct curves. and a large part of it's posterior region was above the water. We watched this strange creature for more than minute swimming at a speed of about two knots. I have seen many dOlphins and whales, and I know their movements. Those of this sea serpent were very different"
