DISLOYALTY charge
Pupils of Business High Declare They
Were Incited to Murder.

Serious charges Of disloyalty made by
pupils Of the Business High School
against a teacher there are being in
vestigated by officials Of the Board Of
Education.
1t is alleged that the teacher, whose
name is withheld, told the pupils that
the patriotic rally conducted there last
Thursday morning was a disgrace" and
that IL some of the pupils would sign q
paper offering to kill certain prominent
millionaries of the United States, the
teacher would head the firing squad.
Rev. John Van Schaick, jr.. president
of the Board of Education. admitted that
the charges had been brought, but
intimated that the matter would have
to come through the regular school!
channels, from principal to the super
Intendent of schools. before the board
could take public action.
1t was inferred. however, that the
teacher was wrought up over several ex-
tremely wild statements of Americanism
made by several Of the pupils. The words
of the teacher might have been mis-
construed, it was said.

Lave of the Koran.

The koran was given to his follow CTS hot from the brain of Mohammed as the law revealed to him through the angel Gabriel. No other man contrib uted to it's form or substance. The Him. ited range of the knowledge and ex- perience of and suggestions to its au- thor necessarily limited its scope to rules adapted to the relatively simple conditions of the people with whom he was familiar. It failed to anticipate all the needs of the rich and cultured cities of Damascus, Bagdad, Cairo, Cor dova and Seville and the millions of people inhabiting the great empire he founded. His purpose was intensely religious and centered in the overthrow of all idolatry and the establishment of the worship of the one true and liv- ing God.-Case and Comment.

GeOrgiaBs Urge Repeal.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 11.-Opponents of selective conscription gathered in three towns in Georgia today, where meetings were held and resolutions adopted asking for the repeal of the draft act
 At one meeting, in a hamlet in the northeastern part of the state, those present became indignant at remarks of some of the speakers, and resolu- tions offered urging an amendment to the law were overwhelmingly vot- ed down.
 Delegates to a state anti-draft "con- vention" were said to have been elect ed at meeting at Thompson. Addi- tional funds were said to have been asked for at the meeting, which, it was said, would be added to the gen eral fund to fight the law in the courts.
 Posters were circulated in Augusta advertising an anti-draft meeting there next Thursday.

Scientific Discovery of Value.

The British Medical Journal an n0unces that a remarkable scientific discovery is now on trial at the casual. ty clearing stations in France. The in- ventor is James Shcarer, Scotchman twenty years old, employed as ser geant in the medical corps. The new discovery succeeds just where X-ray photography fnils. It produces pie lures of structures located far below the surface of the outer skin just at the point where X-ray photography ceased to perform effectively. By means of it, it is possible in broad daylight to obtain detailed pictures of the internal organs and to see at a glance by what gross lesions they may be affected The apparatus works as long as the body is living, and even until molecular death has set in. After that 1t does not work.

The Roman Calendar.

The Romans had the most difficult style of calendar, for they had fixed epochs, namely, the Calends, on the first of the month; the Nonss, about the 9th of the mouth, and the 1des, which were the middle of the month. Instead, however, of counting forward from these periods, they counted backward, so that, for instance, the 18th of the month would be three days before the ldes, and so on, which made calcula- tions of calendars and alrnanacs diffl- cult, since the Nones and Ides varied according to the month, the Nones be- ing always the ninth day before the IdeS.

Antonio Stradivari.

Antonio Stradivari was born in 1644, and died in 1737 ninety-three years of age. His early violin was made like his masters and signed with his name. In 1870 he first began to sign his own instruments with his own name. Dur ing the following 20 years he only made n few. The year 1890 was one of tran sition in his career, but still he pre- served the tradition of the Amatis school, and his violins of this period are commonly called Stradivarius Am atis. His first instruments were con structed from 1700 to 1725; during the subsequent five years to 1730 the work manship of them is not of so high an order, and in 173O. or even little earlier. the impress of Stradivau is al- most entirely lost.
