Mystical Slav Temperament.

A deep religious instinct seems to be
inborn with the Slav peasants. both
Russian and Pole, according to the
Christian Herald. The only difference
Is the form OF his religion, for prac-
tlcally all the Poles are adherents Of
the Church of Rome. With both races
religion and patriotism are closely in
tertwined. The Slav temperament
seems to be particularly susceptible to
religious impressions and devotion to
the church reaches a degree for which
Ii is difficult to find anslogles in any
other part of modern Europe. In the
daily life of the Polish peasant the
name Christ and the Virgin will be
heard repeatedly. He would not thinl.
Of living in house that had not been
blessed by priest. A manufacturer
would find it difficult to keep his hands
II the factory had not been blessed. A
theater would die from lack of patron
age If the prlestly blessing had been
denied the building. The Pole is
probably the most faithful of all the
adherents of the Church of Rome.

Indo-European or Aryan Race.

The Indo-European or Aryan race Is
the name given TO that division of man.
kind covering the most OF Europe, Ar
menia, Persia, Afghanlstan and north
ern Hlndustan. The evidence on which
a family relation has been established
Is that of language. In the different
languages spoken by the nations which
comprise this race there are similari-
ties which, according TO expert philolo-
gists, can be accounted for only by sup
posing that the nations who originally
spoke them had common origin. The
mother nation" here referred to is
supposed to have. existed In Central
Asia, long before Europe was inhabit-
ed. From this center, in obedience to
Il law of movement which has con-
tinued to act through all history, sue
cessive migratlons took place toward
the northwest into Europe. Part of the
population settled in India and Persia,
and for these reasons the race Is
named the Indo-European. The Hin
docs belong to the native Aryan race
of India.

GREAT LAKES ARE HAZARDOUS
Navigation Is Fraught With Danger,
In Spite Of Great Surveys Made
by Government.

Summer after summer the fleet of
the lake survey sails the broad expanse
of the five lakes and the score of bays
and inlets searching for danger spots
that may claim their heavy toll of hu-
man life and vessel tonnage.
Since 1s41 the United States govern
ment has been silently carrying on this
work, Herculean fight against the
Jagged reef and the unseen shoal that
menace navigation. Sounding lines
have been plunged into black depths
OF $4,000 square miles OF water; and
still today there are areas that have
not been charted in which passing
barks may founder. says the New York
Sun.
Three of the five steamers that COM
pose the flotilla carry crews of 30 men.
The two other boats are smaller, hav-
ing but ten or twelve men for crew.
Probably no frequented waterways
in the world are so hazardous as the
Great Lakes. At no time Is n steamer
on them more than comparatively
few hours from shore and periodically
fierce storms arise, fully as violent as
those experienced on the ocean, which
play with the steel ships, battering
them helplessly about, threatening to
engulf or sweep them ashore.
Over s5,000000 has been spent by
the government since 1871 ior the pros
ecutiop of the work of charting the
lakes. Locked m heavy timbered
boxes, protected from fire in immense
vaults in the old post Office building,
Detroit, are over 1900 field charts, dat
ing back to 1918, when survey of
Lake Erie was made by officers of the
British navy. With few exceptions the
maps are the result Of the scientific
researches of United States officers
and surveyors.

Eleldlnn on SUFFRAGE.

One of the earliest references to the
enfranchlsement of women is To be

STANCH FRIEND OF AMERICA

Brazil has two motives in deter
mining her course toward Germany.
The torpedolng by the German subma-
rine of the Brazilian steamer Parana
is one; a matured international policy
is another. Brazil's diplomatic note,
in response to Germany's notice of un-
restricted submarine warfare, was
sufficiently vigorous to indicate that
the destruction of Brazilian vessels
under such circumstances would be
sufficient to cause the breaking off of
diplomatic relations, with the proba-
bility of state of war to follow.
In this respect the situation is eX-
actly parallel TO that of the United
States. Brazil, in the torpedoing of
the Parana, has the same reason that
we have to regard Germany as max
ing war upon her.
Brazil has the further motive for
taking warlike action in that this is
in pursuance of her settled policy in
international affairs, which Is to line up

Doctor Hornaday. The campaign be-
gun by him last fall to prevent the i'm

grouse, other grouse. and quail in the
states west of the Mississippi river has

legislatures out of nineteen have
needed the warnings and appeals al
dressed to them by the Permanent
Wild Life Protection fund, of which
Doctor Hornaday is n trustee, to save
their valuable upland game birds
from total destruction. In five states,
Iowa. Utah, Nevada, Idaho and New
Mexico, the laws demonded have been
passed, and in two others, Montana
and Washington, measures for protec-
tion In part have been enacted.
