Fillmore's Ignorance.

Before Millard Fillmore was elect
ed to the vice presidency of the Unit
ed States he was head of the law
firm of Fillmore, Hall & Havens, of
Buffalo, says an exchange. 1t was
one of the leading law firms Of the
State. He was defendants attorney
in a certain action in Buffalo. At the
opening of the trial of the case the
plaintiffs attorney stated to the jury
that he would have to depend entire
ly upon the justice of his clients
case, as the defendant had sought
and obtained aid and counsel of one
of the ablest firms of lawyers in
western New York, and he might say
he had opposed to him the right
bower of the legal profession.
What does he mean by that?"
said Mr.. Fillmore.
Mr.. Haven replied: He means

Soft for the Eskimos.

Jen Dangaard Imsen, governor of
Greenland, has recently been in Eng
land, where he appeared as a witness
in claim of the Danish government
to a cargo of fish seized by the Brit
ish as a prize of war. While there
he gave out an interview which
proved that while Greenland has
hardships such as intensely cold
weather and limited food, yet the
people are compensated in meas
ure.
Greenland has no army to support.
There is no navy to worry about.
There are no policemen in Green
land.
The Greenlander has no taxes to
pay.
All doctors bills are paid by the
Danish government.
In an interview with the Assoelat-
ed Press, Governor Dangaard said:
"The waste of human life makes the
deepest impression on the Greenland
ers. The Eskimo believes it wicked
to kill humans. He kills all animals
and thinks he has a perfect right to
do so, but he shrinks from taking a
humans life. . He heard of men being
thrown against machinery in the
great struggle to the south of him
and believes the whole thing absurd" ;"
The Eskimos of Greenland are
probably the only people in Europe
who are not interested in the out
come of the war. Fortunate Eski-

Read in Books the Thoughts
of Others.

The man who cannot find the most
absorbing subjects for reflection in
the rocks and soil on which he walks
dishonors his birthright. He has no
need to be a geologist; he needs only
to be an observer and a thinker.
Let him see and form conclusions
for himself, and afterward he can 60
to the books, remembering that all
that they contain is an account of
the observations and thoughts of
others. Let him start out with a
mere hint from geology and then see
how far his own eyes and intelligence
will carry him. He may, at least,
find refuge from the tedium of
brooding over the shortness of his
own existence by considering the
long and marvelously varied history
of his mother earth, with which she
is always ready to entertain him if
he will only give her his attention.

DETAINED AT CAMP MOORE.
Order From Department Halts Mus
tering Out.

Camp Moore, StyX, March IS
Plans to muster the Second South
Carolina regiment of infantry out of
the federal service were abruptly
halted today on receipt of orders
from the department of the East.
These orders came in the shape of
telegram from Adjt. Gen. Simpson, of
the department of the East, to Capt.
J. NJ. Graham, chief mastering Of
rcer. instructing him to discontinue
mastering out the regiment, but to
let the work of getting the papers of
the regiment into shape for muster
ing out proceed.
The orders to halt the plan to mus
ter out the regiment were received
shortly before 1 o'clock and soon
spread over the regiment, first being
announced to the officers at a meet
ing. When the officers call sounded
the news soon got out and it was
shortly afterwards confirmed. No
reason for the orders to hold the men
in the service of the United States
was given and there is nothing but
speculation to go on.
In official circles of the State gov
ernment the orders were interpreted
to mean either one or two things:
That the men are being held for pos
sible duty in connection with strike
on the railroads, or they were being
held because of trouble with Ger
many. In the latter event, it is TAX
en- to mean that the men may be
given a short furlough and then
brought back for service wherever
the government may decide to use
them.
If they are being held on account
of the German situation, high officials
of the State government are expect
ing a call for general mobilization
of all the other National Guard units
in the State, viz, the First regiment
of infantry, the Charleston Light
Dragons, the four divisions of naval
militia, the Johnson Engineers and
the five companies of coast artillery.
Orders for the mobilization of these
units would be- sent direct to Cover
nor Manning from Washington and
none had been received at his Office
tonight.

Paraffin for Gasoline.

A thousand years ago the scien-
lists sought how to turn the baser
metals into gold. Today, with no
less zeal but with a chance for sue
cess, is the scientific world search
ing for a cheap substitute for gaso-
line for use in automobiles and other
gas engines.
A device has recently been invent
ed by F. A. Wilkinson, an English
man, whereby motor cars and in
ternal combustion engines used for
driving electric lighting plants and
other purposes, designed for running
on gasoline, can be run entirely on
parafia, without alteration to the
engine or carbureter.
Wilkinson's bypass paraffin at
tachment" is inexpensive, and can
be fitted up in a very short time, and
the engine can be instantly convert
ed to run on paraffin or petrol by
simply opening or closing a valve.
In order to vaporize the paraffln to
enable a start to be made from cold,
an electrical heater is provided.
After the engine has started, the
parafin and air passing from the car
bureter are heated by introducing a
small percentage of the exhaust
gases direct into the inlet pipe,
which, mingling with the paraffln and
air, enters the cylinders for second
time.
When the attachment is fitted to a
motor car, the two valves used are
controlled from the dashboard by
means of steel wires run in brass
tubes, but in the case of stationary
engine, the dashboard controls can
be dispensed with. For controlling
the electrical heater, a switch and
pilot lamp are provided.-The Elec-
trical World.

PEDESTRIANS RIGHTS.
Some Hints for Drivers of Motor
Cars.

Many drivers OF motor cars show
daily that they know little of the le-
gal rights of the highway.
They are not aware that the courts
have determined the superior right
belongs to the pedestrian, not to the
person riding in a vehicle.
Notwithstanding this is the law
and has been announced emphatically
by courts-motor drivers seeing a
pedestrian about to cross the street
half block ahead of them, when the
pedestrian continues on his way, toot
their horn sharply at him, the mean
ing being: Get out of the way!
This is my road, not yours. Stand
back! You may go after have
passed"
1t does not occur to the driver that
he can stop.
This is expected of the person on
foot, though the driver of a motor
car may be several hundred yards
from the crossing, bearing down on
it at 80 miles an hour, while the
pedestrian is actually upon the cross
ing, and is footed at by way of warn
ing to stop and retrace his steps
while the motor flashes by. There
must be very much more considera-
ton by automombiles for the rights
of persons on foot, and particularly
of children, who take chances that
grown persons avoid.
The driver should always slow
down, at crossings when pedestrians
are in view, and particularly when
the light is poor, which is especially
the case in the late fall, winter and
spring at just the hour when in city
and country thousands are returning
home from the days work, not at the
height of their mental or physical
alertness.
Motor car drivers should exercise
special care at such times though in
haste to get home on their own part.
They have the use of the streets,
not the monopoly of them.-Harper's
Weekly.

The British Navy.

In a recent address at gathering
in London Sir John Jellicoe, first sea
lord of the British admiralty; called
attention to the extent of British
naval activities. The number of YES
sells of all classes that comprise the
British navy is about 4,000.' This
includes battleships, battle cruisers,
light mine sweepers, destroyers, sub
marines, NINE sweepers and other
miscellaneous craft. Activities of
the fleet range from the White sea,
where the British are assisting the
Russian fleet, past the North and
South Atlantic, where cruiser squad
rons are at work, to the far Pacific,
where cooperation is given the Japa-
nese. The navy took considerable
part in the fighting on the west coast
of Africa, in the Dardanelles cam
paign, in the Mediterranean, in the
Adriatic, off the east coast of Africa,
in the Persian gulf and up the Tigris
river. Every part of the seas is
touched by the fleet.
without our mercantile marine,
the navy-and, indeed, the nation
could not exist said Sir John.
Upon it we have been dependent for
the movement Of our troops over
seas-over 100000 of men having
been ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS with all
the guns, munitions and stores re-
quired by the army. Sailors of the
merchant marine have also been
drawn in great numbers for services
on war vessels.
Differences between the navy of
today and that of a hundred years
ago were pointed out. The greater
speed of ships, longer range of guns,
the menace of the torpedo,' Destroy
ers and submarines, the use of air
craft as the ''eyes" of the fleet and
wireless telegraphy have revolution
lied naval warfare. In the Napol-
comic period the ships opened fire at
a range of about 500 yards, those of
today open fire at about $4,000 yards
(about eleven nautical miles,, and
gunfire at $4,000 yards is very ef-
fective. The torpedo fired from a
surface vessel is effective IN to at
least 10000 yards. Weather condi
tions frequently make fighting diff
ficult beyond range of 900 yards,
and on hazy days the destroyers with
dangerous torpedoes are grave
menace to the heaviest ships of the
navy. The submarine is another fac
tor that has helped to change the
situation. When used in combina-
ton with mines the close blockade of
former days is impossible. The un-
dersea vessel also adds greatly to the
anxiety of the opposing fleet. mel
