TYPHUS DEADLY WAR DISEASE
toric Times Has Killed Great
Number in Present Conflict.

The most deadly and destructive of
war diseases is typhus, which during
the present conflict has killed hun
dreds of thousands of people, notwith-
standing scientific methods employed
to combat it.
Otherwise known as scamp fever"
it was a frightful scourge during the
Revolution. American captives on the
British prison ships died of it like flies.
It's record as wholesale destroyer goes
back to prehistoric times; but always
it has been especially associated with
war.
Not until very recently, however,
has it come to be known that the mall
ady owes its distribution solely to an
insect, the louise, which, becoming in
fected by biting a sufferer from the
disease, communicates it to other per-
sons by biting them.
At the present time, In the Euro
pean armies, measure of protection
is gained by obliging the soldiers at
frequent intervals to submit to chemf-
cal baths, and by systematic disinfec-
ton of their clothing with live steam.

POWER OF SUBMARINE MINE
Sinai! Weapon Which viii Sink Ship
Almost Instantly One of Most
Important Coast Defenses.

Not the least important weapon for
attending our coasts and our harbors
from the attacks of hostile warships is
the submarine mine. Though it is per-
haps the least ominous looking Of ma
val defenses, if it is once hit by an
invading warship its tremendous explo-
sive power will sink the ship in less
time than any other weapon could.
The shock of the striking vessel au-
tomatically explodes the mine and the
violently expanding gases from the
powder crush in the hull of the ship
in twinkling.
Submarine mines are made of an
outer casing of steel and an inner
charge of high explosive. A separate
chamber, containing nothing but air,
gives the mine buoyancy. The mines
are carried in small light draft boats
to the positions previously mapped out.
The boat simply drops the mines with
their anchors overheard. When the
cable is all paid out the buoyant mine
will be floating about ten feet below
the waters surface.
The mines lying far outside Of a
harbor contain their ignition system
within themselves, says the Popular
Science Monthly. This may be num-
Der of percussion pins placed all
around the outside Of the mine. When
a ship strikes one of these the heat Of
the impact ignites the powder instant
ly. Or an internal ignition system
may be employed. When ship hits
the mine it rolls it over. This re-
leases the iron ball which is ordinarily
held in small cup in the center of
the mine. The ball falls out of the
cup and pulls upon string, releasing
a trigger and firing off the charge.

Peace on Earth.

But to speak plainly, peace is not In
itself a human ideal. AS long as it
leaves unsolved the problems of JUS
flee, it is not even desirable aspira-
ton, writes David Jayne Hill in the
Century. 1t may even be repugnant
to the moral sentiments of an enlight-
ened conscience. 1t is to be desired
only when it is the concomitant of
realized social good, for it is in no
sense an end in itself. But the word
is not to be set aside as representing
a mere negation, as if it were simply
the absence of strife. Peace on earth
would mean the liberation of human
faculties for the highest and noblest
achievements Of which human nature
Is capable. 1t would mean splendid
eff1orescence of art, literature, science,
philosophy and religion, in short, cul-
ture in its best sense as the sponta-
neous unfolding of the powers of per-
sonality.

Wild Pony From Iceland.

The steamer Bowie of the White
Star line, brought in two rare addi-
tons for the collection of wild and
domesticated horses in the New York
geological park, says the New York
Evening Post. One, a silver-gray Gel
tic pony from Iceland, was selected
out of herd of 500. This horse is a
dwarfed and hardy variety of the
Arabian horse which found it's way to
the North through western Europe,
and was hunted for food by the men
of the stone age in prehistoric days.
This is the type of horse which was
drawn, painted and sculptured by the
cave men. Some of the cave draw
ings are like the Celtic when in it's
short summer coat. In its winter coat
the pony shows a broad lock of hair
at the top of the tail for protection,
perhaps, from northern storms.
This breed is now extremely rare in
Europe. It was discovered about
twelve years ago by Prof. J. Cossar
Ewart of the University of Edinburgh,
from whom the park received its spe-
cimen.

Bullets Affect Aluminium Market.

A peculiar circumstance in the
manufacture of English rifle bullets is
said to be responsible, in part at least,
for the increased price of aluminium.
Shortly after the outbreak of the war
England gave up making round-nose
bullets and produced, instead, a point
ed variety with a solid lead point, in
closed in a cupro-nickel jacket. Some
time later it was discovered that these
missiles were not properly balanced for
the English type of gun. After many
tests the difficulty was overcome by
inserting a little aluminium cone, three
eighths of an inch high, in the apex or
the cartridge jacket.

SEA SOLDIERS GOOD SHOTS
There Is Story From Vera Cruz That
Tells of the Workmanship of
Uncle Sans Marines.

The marines know how to handle a
rifle; so per cent of the force are quail
flied, listed shots. There is a story
from Vera Cruz that tells of good
shooting and a sure eye, Henry Reu-
terdahl writes in the Youths Com
paniOn.
Our bluejackets were marching up
the street from the plaza between rows
of low two-stOry houses. A well
dressed Mexican, with a newspaper
over his knee, was sitting on the bal
cony of his house, apparently intent on
watching our sailors advance; but hid
den under the paper he held big re-
volver, and as our men went by he
fired. The bullets were striking, but
our officers could hardly suspect a
well-dressed Mexican, reading a paper
and looking peacefully on from his
own house. of being the sniper.
Dropping his paper, the Mexican
went inside to reload. When he came
out again on the balcony the CLINT of
the gun caught the attention of Lieu
tenant Colonel Neville on horseback in
the plaza, 1000 or more yards away.
Through his eight-power field glass the
colonel saw plainly the flash of the
shots under the newspaper.
"Get him." he said, turning to his
orderly.
The man raised his rife, pressed the
trigger-and the Mexican fell out of
his chair.
Got him, sir" said the marine.

Value of Deep Breathing.

Every man can live five years longer
If he will take from twenty to fifty
deep breaths of fresh air every day.
Not the way we usually breathe, but
real deep breaths; counting ten as you
take in the breath through your nose;
ten more while you hold it, and ten
while you are letting it out. No sim
gle rule is so infallible for good health.
1 know this from personal experience;
for the moment / feel stuffed up" and
realize a "cold'' is coming, 1 breathe
deeply and almost invariably kill the
cold. Deep breathing starts the circu-
lation, and where good circulation ex-
lists there can be no "cold. "-Ladies'

Food Bill Badly Named.

There are friends of the adminiStra-
ton in Washington and among them
good many members of congress who
hold that the food control bill, to which
there is considerable opposition in con-
gress, is a badly named measure. Ac-
cording to the critics it should have
been called a regulation bill.
Notwithstanding the opposition TO
the food measure, as it manifests itself
in congress, it is a safe prophecy that
it will pass, because there has been
sufficient sounding out of the views of
members to make it appear that sue
cess for it is assured. 1t can be put
down as a fact also that all the other
war measures which are now before
congress, including the one for an ap-
preparation Of 100000 for an intensive
and extensive air service, also will be
sanctioned by the two houses.
Concerning the matter of the food
regulation bill, or to give it what its
friends call the Objectionable name of
food control bill, it can be said that
from letters which members of con
gress receive from their constituents
it is apparent that hundreds OF thou
sands of people seem to have fund
of misinformation concerning what 1t
is intended to do under the provisions
of the bill when it becomes a law.
Odd Misconception of the Bill.
1t is curious thing, perhaps, but
the impression of the majority OF the
protesting letter writer's seems to be
that the United States government in
tends TO form a gigantic trust, the OBJ
iect of which is to put the prices OF
wheat, potatoes, corn, and other neces-
saries of life, up to the top notch. and
to make the people pay twice as much
money for these commodities as they
have been in the habit of paying in the
past. In other words, there seems TO
be a feeling throughout the country,
and 1t is not in spots, that the govern
ment is about to undertake, through
Mr.. Hoover and his plenipotentiary
powers, to inaugurate a plan for gou-
ging the consumer
IT was only the other day that the
president wrote a letter to member
of congress in which he said the con-
troll part of the bill was to enable the
to control the SPECTATORS
and those who would try to make great
profits out of the necessities OF the
neople. The trouble is that Mr.. VIII
sons explanation probably never Will
hn able to overcome the harm that has
hean done by giving a presumably good
bill certainly bad name.
The administration today is con-
cerned over half a dozen different
things. but the food bin is perhaps the
least Of its concerns, because in the
White House, as elsewhere In WASH
ington, there seems to be stable con-
viction that the food legislation is to
90 through to passage and In time TO
make II serviceable In the still early
crop season.
