CUSTOM FOR CUSTOMS SAKE
English Church Authorities Continue
to Distribute Coins, Though Rea.
son for Doing So ls Forgotten.

In accordance with ancient custom,
six-penny pieces were distributed on
Good Friday In the churchyard of st.
observation-disclosures, West Smith
field. to 81 widows resident In the par
fish Of St. Bartholomew. The coins
were dropped upon one of the fiat
tombstones by Corporal W. II. Irons,
Il. q. (under church warden), and the
widows. whose ages ranged from
eighty-five to sixty. were required to
pick them up. Concerning the origin
Of the custom. nothing is definitely
known. Until Mr.. Butterworth, some
thirty years ago. invested sum of
money sufficient to assure what was
needed to continue the custom on
Good Fridays. the distribution was in
danger Of being discontinued, mas
much as there was no fund from
which the money was supplied. Until
then the expense was borne by the
church wardens. The nave of the
church once stood upon the spot where
the money Is now distributed. but was
destroyed at the time of the dissolu-
tfon of the monasteries. Mr.. Deputy
Turner. who died last year, had con-
Quoted the ceremony for 80 years.

ADDS TO HARDNESS OF BRICK
Scientist Explains Why Straw is a
Necessary Ingredient In the
Process Of Manufacture.

Everyone is familiar with ihe story
of how Pharaoh commanded his task.
makers to increase the burdens laid
on the Israelites by Withholding from
them the straw wherewith to make
bricks. says the Popular Science
Monthly, and doubtless many have
wondered wherein the hardship lay
by most people, probably, the view has
been held that the straw was added as
a binding material. much as hair is
used In the mortar; but such an ex-
PLANTATION is scarcely satisfying when
1t is remembered that the straw fiber
Is very weak one. Alexander Find
lay says In his Chemistry In the Serv-
ice of Nam:
"About fourteen years ago II was
found by DR.. E. G. Acheson. to whom
we owe the discovery of carboruntAlm
and the process Of making artificial
graphite. that when clay is mixed with
a dilute solution of tannin II becomes
much more plastic. and the strength
of the dried brick is, moreover. great.
ly increased. Although straw does
not contain tannin 1t was found that
when straw Is treated with water. the
extract obtained has the same action
on clay as tannin has, the Elasticity of
the clay and the hardness of the brick
being greatly increased"

In these prophetic days there have
been some startling revelations.
Men and women who have never
done anything. and did not suppose
they could do anything that was not
habitual and commonplace, have
been startled into activity and sur

When all the world was In motion

You can acquire trade mark right
in Japan by registration only, and not
by priority of use, and If you omit to
register anyone else may forestall you
with your own mark. There are no ma
rional laws In China covering the reg
istration of trade marks. 1t is usual
for exporters to register their marks
at their own consulates, and it is re-
garded as good precaution to have
them registered in Japan as well.

On the first OF July newspapers will
be subject to new rate for postage and
the price to be paid for mailing will be
adjusted according to the various zones
now used for parcel post. The sub.
scription price for many newspapers
has not been advanced. but the pub
Usher must do his part by paying more
for mailing than heretofore. Possibly
he has not been paying enough, but
there are few publishers who will be
willing to admit this. At the same
time the government is asking the
newspaper men to pay increased post
age rates it is sending almost daily
bulletins for the information of the
public" which il asks the papers to
print free. And in addition to this the
government is not at all backward
about using tons OF paper and hours of
labor to send out this information, +"
but lots of the printed matter might
easily be omitted and the paper and

IL was mailed to many people, possibly
not 318 of whom read it. In addition
to this use OF paper and labor Senators,
Congressman and other officials ar,
allowed to send to their constituents
such documents as they wish to put

paper publisher to do his share in help

IAN early survey of the political
field" would indicate that there is
much being done to freeze out, coax
out or kick out possible candidates for
Office. notably the State Senator. Over
column is used to tell what might
have been said-and incidentally have
as much weight-in very much less
space. The fear seems to be that some
body is going to have more to.say than
somebody who wants to have that say.
Hints are made that succession to the
seat now held by Judge Lippincott is
cutting some figure in the fight. One
gentleman who has not been very
popular in political circles for long
time is said to be trying to get a can
didate for State Senator who will be to
his liking. especially on the Judge
ship, but there is not much prob
ability Of his succeeding. The idea in
making change in the Judgeship is
to keep up to the present fine standard
not to go backward. But that is Q
question to be considered later. Ont
of the funny things in the present stu
alton is that the fellow who is charging
''coaxing" and freezing" is reported
to have been doing little missionary
work on that line, himself, and is nov
cajoling the fellow he has been trying t.
get out. Another feature of the attacl
on the gang is that not long sincs
the same paper printed an article
which decried ''inuendo" and sale
only towards resorted to that manne
OF work, and that the most effectiv,
way to do good was to come out sir
the open" and say just what wa
meant. Why not practice that doc
triue now

Where Man La Not sunreme.

Psychologists tell us that the human
nose is degenerate organ; clumsy in
comparison with the noses of dogs and
other lower animals If a man has run
across a meadow 1t would be folly for
you or me to try to find his tracks by
smelling the grass, even half minute
after he had passed. But days after
ward, when perhaps the tracks of that
man have been crossed by those of
many other men, a bloodhound's nose
will pick them up and follow them in
fallibly. The noses of the lower anil
mails are far keener than those of men.
But those of men are keener than
their fingers, their tongues. their ears
or their eyes.

Saws for Cutting Metal.
Not so very long ago the discovery
was made in Germany that metals
could be sawed easier and quicker
with rapidly revolving smooth disks
of steel, than with toothed circular
saws. 1t was found that the cutting
was done by the heat generated by
the friction Of the edge of the disk
against the ,netal. The metal is melt
ed ut the point of contact, while the
steel of the disk, being cooled by the
air, does not reach the melting point.
The disks need no sharpening and do
not wear out so quickly as the toothed
saws heretofore used for cutting met
Il. The faster the disk revolves, the
greater the amount of heat generated,
md the quicker the job.-Popular Sci.

TUESDAY, JUNE rs, 1918

A FITTING close to Chautauqua week
was the lecture bylFrank Dixon, Thurs
day evening. His subject was "War
and Democracy" Instead of starting
with fiowery words OF praise for every
thing and anything that has been done
during this war, Mr.. Dixon launched
into peppery talk on what had not
been done and what ought to have
been done. He bitterly denounced the
practice Of having all news censored.
He felt that the people of this country
had q right to know all that is taking
place. And he spoke the truth. There
have been too many things done to
keep us in ignorance OF what is going
on. We are paying the freight and we
have the right to examine some of the
cargo. Mr.. Dixon kept entirely with
in the limits of propriety and did moi
expose himself to complaint of viola
ton of the espionage act. He showed
wherein we had been lame and what
ought to have been done twelve
months ago, and denounced all polIti
cal methods that have kept us back in
our march toward victory. Mr.. Dixon s
lecture was the gem, in that line, oil
the entire session, and those who
heard him took home much to think
about.

London, Oct. 29.-Emperor William
has no intention of abdicating, but is
willing, if it is for the good of the peo-
pie, to ordain that his rights shall be
reframed, according to statement at
tributed to German court circles. The
emperor is said to have remarked
II will not abandon my sorely tried
people, but, if necessary, am ready to
become something like hereditary
president of a German republic, like
the kings of England, Belgium and
Italy"
Amsterdam, Oct e9.-President Will
sons note to Germany was printed
textually in the German newspapers
Thursday evening and Friday morning.
The Vosssche Zeitung of Berlin print
ed the English text alongside the note
in German. Aside from the junker or
gans which proclaimed the necessity
of every man coming to the front for
the emperor and the empire, many pa
pers apparently contemplate without
excessive lament the prospective dis
appearance of the Hohenzolern
dynasty.
The emperor's abdication is again
strongly rumored to be impending. 1t
is noteworthy that the Frankfort Ga
zette speaks of a coming sacrifice
with comparative equanimity and both
the Berlin and Frankfort stock ex-
changes showed an improved tendency
as a result of President Wilson's note.

FORMER SENATOR HALE DIES
Ex-Lawmaker From Maine Succumbs
in Washington After Long
Illness.

Washington, Oct. 29.-Former Sena-
tor Eugene Hale OF Ellsworth, Me-,

Hale, who was elghty-two years old,
and who served 80 years in the senate,
