Wells Vision of the Future.

In the last few years have devel-
oped a religious belief that has now
become to me as real as any common
place fact. / think that mankind ID
still. as 1t were, collectively dreaming
and hardly more awakened TO reality
than very young child. 1t has these
dreams that we express by the flags of
nationalities and by strange loyalties
and by irrational creeds and ceremo-
mics, and its dreams at times become
such nightmares as this war. But the
time draws near when mankind will
awake and the dreams will fade away,
and then there will be no nationality
In all the world but humanity and no
king. no emperor, no leader but the
one God of mankind. This is my
faith. / am as certain of this as !
was In 1900 that men would presently
fly. To me it is as IL it must be So

II was considered surprising that the
wife of the man who was putting up
the new palace should have asked for
a new foreman. But she did, and II
was no more than the duty Of the
architects to obey. So new superin-
tendent reported the next morning.
One of the architects had the cour-
age TO ask the august lady what had
happened, since the former superin-
tendent Of the Job, which was easily
the most important the firm had, was
known to be polite and courteous al
ways. 1t seemed, according to the
lady, that he had been familiar"
Familiar repeated his employer In
frankly expressed establishment.
There was no further explanation
offered, so 1t was to the offending su-
perintendent that his employer turned.
"All / can think Of" the superin-
tendent said, is the fact that l asked
how the children were. Word came
down one morning that Mrs. x. could
not see me because the children were
I'll. When she did appear the next
day all said was hoped the children
were better. l guess from the way
she froze up it must have been that"
And later investigation showed that
the lese majesty had consisted in just
that inquiry after the children.-New

THE TOMB OF EVE.


Sht0 TO h0ut III SFaSi@s
What is probably the most remarka
BILE and strangest Of all alleged Bible
tombs is that which marks the sup
posed resting place Of Eve, the mother
of the human race. 1t lies about
mile to the north of Jeddah. the port
OF Mecca.
The tradition that Eve was buried
here is older than Mohammed. Adam
is believed by some to rest at his own
peak in Ceylon, but this is debated by
oriental scholars.
There had been difference, SO the
Mohammedans say, between our first
parents, and Eve spent the last years
of her life at Jeddah, where she was
buried, not far from the great temple
I'm Mecca, which Moslem tradition
ascribes to the hands Of Adam him
self
A common legend attributes to Eve
the height of 11S feet, but this does
not correspond with the dimensions OF
her tomb, which is nearly 400 feet
long! She must have been Of some
what strange shape, as her grave 10
only ten or eleven feet wide!
In the middle of the grave is small
building containing curious witness
to the devotion OF the Moslems. On
The whitewashed walls of this little
temple are hundreds OF thousands of
penciled names as far as the hand can

IRON OF THE FUTURE.
No Danger Of q Shortage Because Of
Increased Consumption.

No Danger OF Shortage Because OF
Increased Consumption.
That iron Is the very basis Of our In
dustrial civilization will be admitted
by the thoughtful, and many Of our
greatest supplies Of iron ore are being
rapidly depleted because of the In
creased per capita consumption Of iron
the world over, an increase which is
destined to be greater In the future
when the races In Asia and Africa in
crease their consumption of iron.
These conditions Of increasing con-
sumption and decreasing reserves have
often in the past, particularly about
the beginning Of this century, been
used to create scare, on the ground
that our supplies OF disable ore were
being 30 rapidly depleted that their ex-
haustion would occur within two or
three generations.
This is q preposterous point Of view,
because as we lower the percentage Of
iron In the rock which we call ''ore"
the quantity of such ore increases at
rate out Of all proportion to the de-
crease in iron content, and as we use
leaner and leaner ores technical i'm
pr0vements will be made which will
minimize any tendency to increased
cost of production.
The same thing has happened in gold,
silver. copper and other ores, and to-
day copper ores are being worked with
only Is per cent Of copper in them

Cb.noino the Remedy,

Professor Richet informed the Acade-
mic des Sciences at a recent meeting
In Paris that he had proved that mi
crobes very quickly accustom them
selves to a medium that at first is pol
sonous to them. Therefore he sug-
gested that wounds should be irrigated
with several different antiseptics, using
one one day, another the next and new
er bathing the wound with the same
antiseptic two days in succession.
The editor Of La Nature suggests
that this idea may be applicable also
to internal medicine and may explain
why each new remedy produces for
several days a marked improvement
but ceases to be effective as soon as
the microbes and the body have be-
come accustomed to the new medicine.

Husbands Bravery.

Just after hearing a noise In the
house at night don't you hate to talk to
your wife and let her notice how short
your breath is? 1t is calculated to
make her think that you are not as
brave as a lion. when as a matter OF
fact it proves that you are. When you
hear the noise, In INIT gination you
Jump from the bed and grapple with
it-catching the noise by tho throat
and choking 1t until 1t is black in the
face. Well, you are naturally short
winded and the imaginary struggle
gets you out Of breath. That is all
there is to it.-Claude Csllan In Fort

THE STAY AT HOME VOTE.
Evil Effect Of Neglect Of Duty by the
Indifferent Citizen.


Our most important elections are Of
ten decided by the stay at home vote.
The course of the governSlent, its pol.
icies, our entire administration of pub.
lie affairs, turn in effect upon the
Indifference Of the citizen. The evils
that flow from his neglect of those
primary duties may be said to be the
beginning of all those evils that seem
ever to accompany free government.
If the people were as vigilant about
choosing their public servants as they
are about choosing their corporate off,
GERS or their trusted employees 1t
would be virtually impossible for ex-
travagance or graft or the many evils
Of bossism to exist under our form of
government.
We have given much attention OF
late to what Is called movement for
popular government. We have consid-
cred the ACCESSIBILITY Of Incorporating
into our system of government the In
itiative. the referendum and the re-
call. We have at times become violent
in expressing a desire for what we
choose to call more effective instru-
mentalities Of government Apparent
Iy we have coveted greater obligations
and more manifold and complex du-
ties.
Putting aside for time the question
of any benefits to be derived from
adopting and using such Instrumental
tiles of government, the questions re-
main: Would we use them II we had
them? Would they not lie like tools
by our side, rusting and cumbersome1

Liquid Fire.

The Greek or liquid fire used In an
cient times was made principally FROM
naphtha or liquid bitumen, mixed with
some sulphur and pitch extracted from
green fires. Water, instead Of extin-
gushing, quickened this powerful
agent of destruction, which nothing
but sand, wine or vinegar could check.
For 400 years the Greeks kept the ser
cret of its composition, but the Mo-
hammedans at length discovered and
used it. This FIRE is not In use today. :

Dressing Wounds With Sugar.

DR.. G. Magnus reports to the Thera-
peutische Monatshefte Of Berlin on his
success in treating wounds with ordi-
nary sugar. This he sprinkles In n
thick layer over a wound that has
previously been washed and dried. He
covers 1t with dry dressing, which
he renews every day.
The Journal Of the American Medical
Associa tion says a great advantage Of
this dressing is that 1t does not stick
to the wound, but stimulates power
full secretion which Pushes out the
