Eour-Arc Rainbow.

A four-arc rainbow was seen by d
vessel at sea recently, one pair inter
secting the other pair. Two arcs are
often seen on land, and three are some
times seen; but the invariable rule is
that these arcs all have common
center lying below the horizon. The
explanation OF the two pairs OF arcs
was, however, quite simple. The sea
at the time was exceptionally calm,
and acted as a gigantic mirror. Two
Of the arcs. which had common CEN
ter below the horizon, were due to the
sun itself; the other two arcs, which
had common center above the hort
zoa, were due to the reflection Of the
sun In the sea.

Rust DISCOVER.

Ar italian inventor has patented
method OF cleansing iron and steel
from rust. BY his process the metal
is made the cathode IN phosphortc
ncid electrolyte. 1t is claimed that
this acid, unlike others, dissolves
away the rust without attacking the
solid metal, and also tends to prevent
subsequent rusting. The electrolyte
Is made by adding 10 parts OF phos-
phoric acid to 90 parts of water. or
by adding 10 per cent solution OF
sodium phosphate tn 10 per cent OF
the acid A temperature between SO

MIX DOUGH WITH SEA WATER
Wider Adoption Of tho Practice Is REQ
ommended by French Naval Phar.
maclst, Health Advantages.

1t has long been custom In certain
parts Of France to make up the dough
for bread with sea-water instead Of
using, as Is customary, fresh water,
with the addition Of salt required to
make bread both healthful and appe-
tizing, says the Literary Digest. NJ.
Albert Saint Sernin, a French naval
pharmacist OF the first class, urges the
wider adoption of the practice, which
has, according to him, several advan-
tagcS; the bread keeps moist longer,
owing TO the affinity for water pos
seSSed by the magnesium chloride sea-
water contains; 1t is very wholesome,
since 1t provides not only the chlorides
of sodium and magnesium but other
mineral substances which the body can
make use OF.
The water must be collected at a
suitable distance from land and should
be taken from n depth OF six or seven
yards If possible. The yeast must be
prepared with fresh water and the salt
water used for mixing the dough. The
French writer adds:
Bread made with sea water, useful
for everybody, is to be recommended
especially for growing children, for
convalescents, and for all those who
need to repair the wastes due to fever
or to hard labor"

GET GOOD
SEED CORN AND
GETITNOW

Prof. F. L. Musbach of the Expert
mental Farm, located east of the city,
gives the following good and timely ad
vice to farmers of this section on the
selection of the seed corn they will
plant this spring. He says:
Farmers of Central Wisconsin are
going to be up against it this year for
getting good seed corn. The past year
has been one of the most unfavorable
ones for getting corn to maturity and
the result is that very little if any,
good corn was picked before the heavy
frost in October. Some corn was pick
ed afterward. which, however, shows
I'D a poor termination after being test
ed repeatedly.
The result of this scarcity will mean
higher prices being paid than ever be-
fore. There is one thing, however, that
farmers should insist on regardless of
where they purchase their seed and
that is to be certain of the terminating
quality. Reliable seedsmen will not
hesitate to guarantee the terminating
quality of their corn. Do not be salts
fed with the simple statement that
the termination is all right or guaran.
teed without stating specifically the
percentage. AS a rule we do not ad
vocate the planting of corn which tests
less than 95 per cent and if possible
farmers should insist on getting corr
that will test 90 per cent or better

Did Germany Wrong Belgium?
By O. c. FTSkE, Associate Professor of Latin in the
University of Wisconsin

Germany's violation of the neutral
lty of Belgium has been called crime
against civilization Are there cold
facts TO prove this?
A neutraliZed state is one that has
been guaranteed freedom from inVa-
sion upon condition that it wage no
war beyond its borders. Switzerland,
Luxembourg, and Belgium are such
states.
Belgium was created neutralized
nation in 1899 by a treaty signed by
Great Britain, France, Russia,
Prussia, Austria They agreed that
Belgium should form an independent
and perpetually neutral state, and
bound themselves to interfere for the
defense of Belgium against any power
attempting to invade Belgian territory.
Belgium, in its turn, was pledged to
observe neutrality towards all other
states. This treaty was reaff1rmed in
1870 and respected in the Franco
PruSSian war
But Belgium, like every other neu-
trail state, had also the protection of
the Hague Convention Of 1907. The
United States as well as all the other
great powers signed that convention.
The Hague convention says that the
territory Of neutral powers shall not
be invaded; that troops or supplies Of
belligerents shall not move across it:
and that if foreign power inVades
neutralized country, the neutral
country has the right and duty to re-
sist
Thus doubly protected Belgium and
Luxembourg had every reason to expect
hot Iya Sy4y;tu ~,
would be respected by all belligerents.
Nevertheless on August 2, 1914,
Belgium received an ultimatum from
Germany demanding the right to pass
troops through Belgium territory. She
promised at the conclusion of peace to
restore the property and the indie
pendence of the Belgian kingdom in
full Ii Belgium resisted, Germany
would consider her an enemy. AS an
enemy, Germany declared that she
could not guarantee the independence
of Belgium thereafter
Suppose Belgium Had Submitted
In accordance with the treaty of
1899 and of the Hague Convention,
this brutal ultimatum forced an in
dustriOus and absolutely innocent peo-
pie into war. For suppose that Bel
GUM had agreed to GermanyS pro-
posal. Belgium would then have for
feited all right to be treated as neu-
trail and Independent nation by Great
Britain and France. If they were vic
tOrious in the war, they would have
been justified in destroying her indie
pendence. Also, what guarantees
would the Belgians have had that a
victorious Germany after ruthlessly
breaking one agreement would keep
another? The determination to main
tain her independence as we'll as re
gard for her honor as nation inev-
itably led Belgium TO refuse the Ger
man demand.
Germany made no charges against
the loyalty of Belgium. On the con-
trary the German Foreign Minister

of this is offered for sale at the pres
ent time. 1t will be found necessary
this year to substitute some of the
varieties that have been grown but
little heretofore. The Yellow Flint
is corn that produces silage, yet it
has the advantage of early maturity.
White Cap Yellow Dent, Northwestern
Dent and Rustler's Early Dent are
other varieties that are adapted to this
section and will be found satisfactory
If any of these varieties can be OBJ
tanned by farmers now it certainly will
be the part of wisdom to order. This
year above all years, farmers can not
afford to take any chances in getting
seed corn unless they are certain it
will make good stand. "-Marshfeld
Herald
Attorney B. NJ. Vaughan while in
Madison the past week attended the
state farmers meeting at which he
learned that there was only about 80
per cent seed corn enough to satisfy
the needs of the state of Wisconsin
and that the state agricultural society
had taken steps to procure enough
more to satisfy the state at a reason
able price. Any farmer that is with
out good seed corn will do we'll to ad-
dress the tSate Agricultural Society
at Madison for any information that
he may desire along these lines.
