May Yet Be Perfected.

The recent mysterious destruction
of munition plants in New Jersey calls
to mind the remarkable statement
made in a newspaper which reached
this country from Germany about a
year ago, that a German inventor was
working on a death-dealing device
which, when perfected, would astonish
the world.
While the article did not go into de-
tails, it was limited that the invention
consisted in sending certain peculiar
electric waves by means similar to a
wireless apparatus, which waves, while
invisible, would act with the celebrity
of a bolt of lightning and destroy ev-
erything they came in contact with.
1t added that with such an appliance
submarine could operate under wa
ter and sink any ship within a radius
of 20 miles and that the apparatus
could similarly be handled in the air.
While it is ridiculous to think that
the mysterious explosions in New Jer-
sey were the result of any such re-
markable invention, nevertheless the
war in Europe has brought so many
surprises that anything seems pos
Sible.

GETTING FRESH fish

Late in the afternoon we passed the
new mouth of the Euphrates. A few
years ago this river got tired of its
mouth at Kurna and cut a new one b
few miles north of Basra. 1t is said
that in a few years the mouth at Kur-
ma will become hardly more than a
canal. The Euphrates water is SUI
phuric white, while the Tigris water is
now comparatively clear. For miles
after joining the waters of the two riv-
ers keep to their own sides of the
stream.
Each officers servant prepared his
masters dinner toward dark. Our des-
sert, established by rigid medical reg
ulation, was ten grains of quinine-ten
grains every night means 300 grains
every month.

The question was an appeal, soft,

cisive, almost stern.
She was in the full glory of early
womanhood. scarcely twenty-five, tall,
graceful. with a face full of expression
and eyes that showed a rare depth of
soulfulness. He was five years her
senior, a serious man, but handsome
one. Thus, Harold WOrden and Ina
Restell, their hands clasped, his eyes
fixed intently, indeed quite challeng-
ing, upon her face; she, shrinking
slightly, as though she had received
a blow. He noted that her bosom
fiutteted, that her breath came quick,
that her hand pressure was spasmodic
but ciinging Then a fact drifted across
his mind and he turned and left her.
IF she had only been truer he
muttered bitterly, as he left the room
and the house.
IF he had only spoken one word of
her throat.
They were well matched, these two
and Clayton society had affirmed it,
There had been year of delight for
Ina and one of keen satisfaction for
Harold WOrden. They had met and
drifted naturally into agreeable com
partnership, for their tastes were mu-
tual-art, music, rational pleasure
Very near had Worden come to Il dec
laration of love. A chilling blight had
come, suddenly, unexpectedly. The
whole fabric of his fond dreams had
gone down in utter ruin with single
palpitating moment.
One week previous TO the present
formal parting he was approaching
the Restell home when a young man
ran down the steps briskly and stepped
into an automobile at the curb. Just
as he reached it something fell from
hts pocket. WOrden called to him to
apprise him of his loss, but the warn
ing was unheard. BY the time WOrden
had picked up the package the ma
chine had turned the corner. The
young man was a stranger to WOrden,
who opened the package to find that
it contained a half-doZen letters. They
were in the handwriting of Ina, he rec
ognized that at once. A quick, jealous
dread entered his mind, then species

Food Value in the Onion.

The fact that onions are now being
supplied raw to the troops in France
may come as surprise to many people
who despise this vegetable. They dc
not realize that it is of great value as
food. most valuable and tonic min
eral salts in the vegetable kingdom.
Onions are perhaps best known as q
cure for insomnia; they also possess
such cooling and diuretic properties
that they prevent and sOothe the pains
of rheumatism. Moreover, onions are
easily digested, stimulate the appetite,
and are nourishing.
Well cooked they are an excellent
and wholesome food for children. and
those who feel cold hanging about
them should eat boiled onions.

of anger. He debated with himself
for a moment, then with anxious, low
ering brow he changed his mind about
entering the house, as he had intended.
Once in his own room Harold Wor-
den again examined the package. The
letters appeared TO the aroused mind
of Worden to be cherished missives
from sweetheart. All six were
signed with the initials II. r." They
showed the gradatiOns of growing
Icve-an seemingly replies to other let
tiers periodically received by Ina.
From a first formal note they grew
with fervor to the final, tender encour-
agement of a sweetheart thus wooed
and won.
Worden cast the hated packet to
the floor and paced up and down in a
fever of humiliation and anger. He
was not engaged to Ina, he had no
right TO direct her actions, but she
had deceived, at least derided him.
She must have known that his con
fesSion of love was imminent at any
time, yet here she had engaged her

Harold Worden restored the package
to its former condition. addressed it
to Ina in disguised hand, mailed it
and made his decision to leave place
where existence in the light of his re-
cent discoveries would be torture.
For five years Worden travelled. 1t
was restless, unsatisfactory hegira,
but he had plenty of money and could
settle his disturbed mind down 10 moth

to their units at the front. The bags
of rice and flour comprising the car

Good Sleepers.

Learning to sleep well Is learning
TO live well. But it does not follow
that the good sleepers are necessarily
good people or that they know how to
live. Good sleepers are to be found
among those who break the laws OF
morals and of health. They have the
gift. Whether they will be able TO
keep 1t through their lives is a ques-
ton. The effects of their lawbreaking
may suddenly overtake them and the
ravages may weaken their sleeping ca
pacity. In the depths of consciousness
there is often a rebellion of the mind
that Is none the less persistent be-
cause it is silent and that may sud.
denly break out into a revolution.

through several deals for new play

also has come East for other reasons.
He intends to witness the coming
series between the White Sox and
Red Sox in Boston, and also will pay
a visit to Washington, where Clark
Griffith's club still is playing to small
crowds. Johnson doesn't believe that
the American League will lose many
valuable players in the draft, and
he announces that baseball will be
played by his circuit next year. He
has no opinion to express as to the
outcome of the American League
race. Johnson will remain in the
East until the Western clubs return

four-game tilt with Cleveland yester-

tumbled the Macks to a to de-
feat. 1t was the sixth straight game
marked up in the lost column for the
Athletics, and the third successive
victory for the Lee Fohls, and the
win incidentally put them in third
position, due to the to 4 victory
gained by the Senators over Hughie

artist of the Mackmen. This fatten-

ed the first time up in the initial
round, got a single in the third, an
other in the fifth, and a triple in

the half dozen tallies registered by

a perfect day by making a clean steal
of one in the seventh, which won the
game.

up.

stopped grabbed the garment in his
hand. crumbled it and thrust it un-
