PLOTTERS OF MEXICAN
 RAID MAY BE JAILED

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 27.- It is rumored that arrests will be made in connection with the 'ntem- plated raid of Texans upon Mexico which was frustrated yesterday when the move became known to United States secret service agents.
 While no direct report on the next development of the raid has been made, advices received from Ell Paso today and also from military authori- ties along the border indicate that several hundreds were involved and that the ringleaders are running n cover, but they are kept under close surveillance by secret service F ,en. I The government authorities believe fere that the raid was matched at this time in order that the withdrawal of Pershings command might be re- scinded and abandoned.
 Sensational developments are ex- pected within the next few days.

WARS DEVASTATION.

1 In 29 months, since the beginning
 of the war up to January 1, 2246
 merchant vessels, ranging from small fishing smacks to the largest liners, have been destroyed as result of the operations of the belligerents on tn, seas, principally by mines and sub marines.
 The gross tonnage, exclusive of a considerable number whose tonnage is not recorded was 3,9S2,556 tons. or more than the tonnage owned by any nation except Great Britain, Germany
 and the United States. Of the total I1,149 vessels with an aggregate ton mage of $2,O82,683 tons, were de-
 stroyed in 1916. Norway, Italy,
 France, Belgium, Holland, the United States, Denmark, Greece, and Spain
 lost more merchant shipping in the Hast twelve months than in the pre-
 ceding seventeen, the campaign af-
 fecting neutral vessels having been
 particularly active recently.-Ex.

Force of Iiuht.

Light has an actual mechanical pres sure and can be measured in the lab oratory. It has been found that the suns light in itself presses against the earth with q force something like TO- GOO tons. AS the surface of sphere varies as the square of the radius, and as the volume or mass varies as the cube of the radius. and as the me, chanical pressure of light on the whole surface varies as that surface, and as the force of gravity varies as the mass, if sphere is made smaller and smaller it is easily seen that the pressure of light does not decrease so fast as the force of gravity. so bodies beyond a certain minuteness could not reach the sun. but would be repelled by the me chanical force of its light

TRAPPED IN \ sToKEHoLE.
The Fate That Firsmsn on . Warsh
 Are Liable to Meet.

The soldiers who fight with least rec ognition in the battles at sea are the stokers of the destroyers running at full speed. Eight men work under the command of a stoker petty officer in a space so narrow that movement of any kind seems impossible. There is fur. mace fin front and one in the back Sandwiched in between is a maze of levers. pipes, pumps and gear.
 Yet within these close quarters the stokers find space to perform their heartbreaking toll in an atmosphere all most too hot to breathe, says the Pop ular Science Monthly. When the men are at their posts the iron hatch is closed down, and the air sucked in through ventilator has to pass through the furnace before it gets to them.
 So long as the pumps work well and the evaporated water is displaced with automatic regularity by fresh neither the tubes nor the boiler casting can get dangerously hot. But sometimes without apparent cause the water slow. ly descends below the level. Some times the cause of mischief is a leak. age-a pipe broken or joint strained that allows the water to escape.
 If it can be remedied, we'll and good. But if not and the water continues to drop steadily the stoker petty officer has but one duty to perform-to keep the hatchway from being opened by the frenzied stokers, thus allowing the flames to escape and destroy the entire vessel. The heroes who perish in the stokeholds like so many rats caught in fiery trap are not even listed.

Here is no spirit of, f,time serving. The potato is sure of its position. It holds a place and an honored one. It is a recognized subject of converse and inquiry and its sowing and lifting are times of great promise and great full

Saving.

Some women formed a resolution to do something about the high cost of living. Something" they insisted. with lofty courage. "that will count"
 Accordingly they banded together and so perfected themselves in the art of making up their minds that whereas it had hitherto taken a salesgirl an average of two hours to sell yard of ribbon she could now turn the trick in twenty minutes flat.
 The economic saving. of course. was in the aggregate enormous. making it self felt all down the line.-New York Post.

THE POTATO.

Surely never did any humble veg etable have such honor thrust upon it as is being thrust in these day upon the potato. Not only in belligerent countries, but in neutral countries also, the potato is one of the great concerns of people and officials alike Its price is a subject of vigorous dis cussion in Chicago as it is in London or Berlin, and its cultivation is as pressing a matter in Michigan as in the Fen country or Norfolk or one the sandy plains of Pomerania. And now comes word of an order that has been issued to the various training camps throughout the United Kingdom or daining. that, wherever possible, the land surrounding such camp shall he prepared for the growing of potatoes. With that promptitude which char acterizes action in these days, tfe or der will, no doubt, be put into imme- diate effect and it will seem as if seed potatoes, conscious of a great and un- wonted importance, hurled ther1- selves into sacks and deployed them selves in multitudes all over the cOun- try, since in all places possible where there is camp there will be potatoes.
 The one thing which cannot fail to strike anyone who has thought at all deeply about it is the way in which the great subject does not seem, so far. to have touched Ireland. Ireland for many years so intimately asso- ciated with potatoes, has in these days no special word to say about them. The explanation is that where Michi- gan grows potatoes over thousands 'f almost uninterrupted acres and the Fen country over hundreds, Ireland grows them for the most part ill a countless number of patches.
 Now, this new regard for the pota- to outside of Ireland, is all very well in it's way. It is, however. only a passing honor. With the advent of more peaceful times, potatoes, in En- gland it is certain, will return to their accustomed position. Once more will they be simply taken for granted and year in and year out in cease less relays, be viewed. by an indifferent public in countless green grocers shops
 But in Ireland all is different

THE OD0R OF SPICES.
Often Used by Writers to Stimulate Their lmaqinatjon,


 On some portions of the globe spices are worth more than gold or silver.
 "In the arctic region spices are es. sential to health and happiness" writes an explorer. "A dash of Eepper. a pinch of ground cinnamon, a little nut. meg or pinch of ginger root revives the jaded appetite wonderfully in the north. have seen shipwrecked sailors fight over an ounce of spices with more ferceness than they ever did for money"
 The psychological effect of spices is of more importance than the physiolog- ical. Many writers have confessed their inability to write without the Odor of spices in their rooms. One great musician composed his master piece under the influence of cinnamon and cloves steaming in a kettle of pre- serves in a neighbours kitchen There, after he composed only when steamed cloves and cinnamon were on hand.
 The food of one man, however, yer. often happens to be more or less vio lent poison for another. In the annals of insane asylums there are many cases on record where the odor of cloves. cinnamon. pepper, allspice or ginger has driven patients into violent par oxysms.
 Yet all the world loves spices. In the fear that the source of supply would eventually become exhausted chemists have sought to make spices synthetically. They have succeeded in number of instances to such an ex- tent that cheap adulterations are some times used.-Exchange.

Is IT WORTH WHILE?

10 - "SnIEI "nIICg ITS 1t worth while that we jostle a brother
 Bearing his load on the rough road of life? Is it worth while that we jeer at each other In blackness of heart-that we war to the knife? God pity us all in our pitiful strife. GOD pity us all as we jostle each God pardon us all for the triumphs we feel When a fellow goes down meath his load on the heather, Pierced to the heart; words are keener than steel And mightier far for woe or for veal.
