new FACTS ABOUT THE SUN
Scientific Findings as to Amount OF

Earth's "Big Sister"

As one result of an exhaustive study
of solar radiations by the director OF

the earth's mean distance the heat OF
the suns rays is sufficient to melt In
a years time a layer of ice 426 feet In

Gates that the aggregate heat thrown
off b. the sum Of II months amounts to
the same as would be obtained by con-
suming 400 sextillion tons of hard coal
Incidentally, and most fortunately,
only a small portion Of this tremendous
volume of heat reaches us, says Popu-

CITY WELL WORTH VISITING
Kun, In Persia, Called by Traveller One
Of the Most Picturesque Spots
Of the East.

The little known city Of Kun is one
Of the most picturesque spots in the
near East and one of the few really in
teresting towns in modern Persia. 1t
Is reached by horse from Teheran and
the journey Is still made in such prim-
tive fashion that Kun is little visited
by tourists in the best Of times, al
though the road. In many parts built
over the grade Of an old high road Of
the days of Persia's glory, is good
enough judged by the standards Of the
near East.
The European visitor to Kun Is like
ly to feel q certain yelled hostility in
his reception, for the city is one Of the
holy places Of the Mohammedan faith,
hardly behind Mecca and Medina in
this respect. A stream of pilgrims pours
into Kun almost as large as the one
that flocks continually to those other
shrines, and, even more than the
boiler cities, Kun is sought by the
faithful as fitting and sacred spot for
the burial Of the dead. The country
round about, the city itself, ID strewn
and dotted with tombs, from the hum
BILE mud mound of the common man to
the elaborate shrine-topped mausO-
leums of princes and even kings. The
dead are more numerous than the nv-
ing in Kun, but the natives do not
seem to be conscious Of any funereal
atmosphere.

HUNTING FlREFLlES IN JAPAN
Remunerative and Pleasant occupa-
ton That Engages the Attention Of
the Mikado's Subjects

In Japan there is followed the pretty
custom of employing in garden parties
and in various other social functions
the native firefiies for purposes OF deco
rative illumination. In some cases
these tiny creatures are disposed about
in cages; sometimes they are released
in swarms in the presence Of guests. =,
To meet the demand for fireflies thug
used, it follows that there must be
some systematic method of effecting
their capture in sufficient quantities.
There are a number of concerns in
the Japanese cities that employ men
to catch the firefiies. These hunters
proceed about their task in this way:
The start is made at sunset, and the
hunter takes with him a long bamboo
pQls and a. bag Of MOSQUITO <nsttine'
When a Suitable growth Of willows
near water is reached the hunter makes
ready his net and strikes the branches,
filed with the insects, with his pole.
This Jars them to the ground, where
they can easily be gathered. If one pro-
ceeds about the Job quickly, before
they have had time to recover and ny
away.
This work proceeds until about two
O'Clock in the morning, at which hour
the insects are beginning to leave the
trees for the dewy soil. Then the hunt
er changes his tactics. He brushes the
surface of the ground with a light
broom to startle the insects into flight,
when they are taken as before. 1t is
said that an expert may capture as
many as 5000 in q single night.

Absolute rest for diamond.

One of the oldest tests for d1a'
mond is, of course, the practice OF
drawing it over a sheet Of glass. The
popular idea that a paste article will
not make any mark is said to be In
correct. Well-made imitation diamonds
commonly scratch glass, but do not cut
1t. A real diamond drawn quite lightly
over the surface cuts the glass so COM
pletely that the slightest blow will
cause a separation.
Another old test is that In which
file is employed. In the case OF a

possible to make any impression with
the implement, while an imitation ar
ticle is easily marked.

Spread Of Materialism in the United
States Menace to National Character
By ROBERT LANSING. Secretary Of State

The American people-and 1 think they are NO
different from other peopes-have been growing more
and more utitarian in these later years. their thoughts
and acts more and more influenced by what s called
the practical and less and less by what is called the
ideal Immediate and tangible benefit is the apparent
goal of American effort. To a large extent, very
large extent it has absorbed the thought and energy
of our people. In every sphere of human activity

upon to carry out her obligations to
the entente.
II the Russian peasants, working
men, and soldiers cared nothing about
the purposes of the war, II they cared
nothing about Belgium. Serbia, Rou-
mania, France, Italy, and England,
how could they be expected to care
anything about the Far East and the
tremendous problems that might be
thrust upon that section OF the world
by a victory of Germany or an incon-
elusive peace?
In other words, Japan, while still q
member of the entente, was suddenly
left standing alone on the side issue
OF the control OF China, in which she
had admitted Russia as a partner. II
was calculated TO shake even the
stoicism Of the Land of the Rising
Sun.
Germany's Peace Plans.
Here was Germany talking peace
all the time, ready and eager to make
peace with Russia, intimating that
she would forego all territorial az
gression and all indemnities and with
a territory all mapped out under Ger
man control reaching from the sand
dunes of the Friesian Islands to Bag
dad and beyond. Germany had sue
ceeded in tying up Austria-Hungary
and Turkey as vassals, had con-
Quered Serbia and Montenegro, had
placed Bulgaria in the position OF a
yassal state, and had won part OF Rou-
mania, insuring her a port on the
Black sea.
What japan needs now is a restora-
tion OF confidence on the part of the
allies. What her requirements diplo-
matically are appear to be a new
treaty with all the entente powers,
safeguarding her interests and their
interests in the Chinese empire and
elsewhere. What Great Britain needs
appears to be an understanding which
will safeguard India against the pos
sible encroachments in the future Of
the Berlin to BagdAd empire which
terminates at the gates Of India.
But what the entire entente needs
since there is small possibility OF
Russia taking an aggressive place
in war hereafter is Japan's entry
into the war with all her resources.
Very little has been said in this
country as to the opportunity which
this situation presents to the United
States. That here is an opportunity
is obvious. There is little doubt that
japan, seeking q friend, is turning
to this country. The addresses and
interviews with Japanese diplomatists
and publicists indicate a lively In
terest in the friendship and co-opera.

SALE AT MANDAN
WAS A FINANCIAL SUCCESS

Senator Frank Hyland of Devils
Lake, one of the officers of the
North Dakota Livestock association,
and who acted as auctioneer part of
the time, said that the sale was one
of the most important events that
had ever taken place in western
North Dakota, and would mean more
to the country in years to come. "A
grade of stock has been brought in
that will prove boon to the country
and of inestimable value to the farm
The horse sales amounted to over
$4,000 and the cattle sales to $4,000
Hundreds of farmers and stockmen
from all over the western portion of
the state attended the sale and es-
pecially was the west slope country
we'll represented. Perhaps more than
two-thirds of the sales were to west
