Orioin Of "Crater.D

The word crater" from the hole
made by mine and afterward fought
for, has thoroughly established itself
in the language Of the trenches. 1t is
highly obvious and inevitable borrow
ing from the volcano.
But the volcano itself took the word
from the original "crater'-the mix
ing bowl (from the verb meaning to
Mix, in which the Greeks from the
earliest known times, mingled water
with the wine that they seldom cared
or dared to drink neat.
These craters, which stood in con-
spicuous positions in the hall, were
often of huge size, and the resem-
blarce to them Of the volcanoes orifice
struck all ancient observers, who used
the word "crater" in the modern vol
canic sense.

Western Soldiers Rugged.

The "early to bed and early to rif
slogan is noticeable on the faces -
the boys in khaki who are ARRIVING
here from the West and other parts OF
the country. These youths are GER
tainly typical Of the real American.
Health, Drawn and muscle are their
principal characteristics and with all
this there is a certain amount of chiv-
airy that is not seen in New York.
The average New Yorker is a pale In
dividual. Indoor work, Of course, IS
responsible for this and he always IS
in such a hurry that he thinks OF no
one but himself. Some of the New
York youths marvel at the appearance
of these visitors from the West. Ihey
cannot understand why they Should be
so ruddy. The explanation is easy.
1t is because they spend more time IN
the open. Nevertheless the appearance
of the boys from other parts OF the
country is causing II kinds OF Jeal-
ousy-New York Times.

Penny Postage Gone In England.

Penny postage, which disappeared
at midnight Sunday, June 2, was one
Of the great riumphs Of peace, and
succumbed only to the demands OF
war. Although the price has gone, the
principle remains, and nothing has
been a truer index to the march Of
progress than the penny stamp. It's
first use in 1910 for inland postage
amounted almost to a revolution. That
date fixes the "great divide" between
the old postal systems and the new.
The penny stamp, probably more than
any other influence, exercised power
in holding together the scattered bonds
of kinship and acquaintance through
out the far-fung British empire, and
as a factor in imperial trade it pro-
yided the facilities upon which modern
trading depends.
Many years ago King Edward, then
prince of Wales, said he looked for
ward with hope to the day when every
English-speaking man, in whatever
part of the world he might be, should
be regarded as being as much an Eng
lishman, so far as the penny post was
concerned, as if he lived in Kent or
Sussex.

Britainss indians.

The Indians in the British army on
the western front, notably the Sikhs,
that highly disciplined military force
from British India, have little in COM
mon with the American red men. They
come from the other side Of the earth
they are sons of 6 deeply religious
sect, and for so years or more have
been an important factor in the Brit
tsh dominion of the far East.
They are tall, well-built, handsome
men, most of them with boards, and
in perfection of drill and military bear
ing they are not excelled by any
troops on the western front.
But while their methods of fighting
are quite dissimilar, the Sikh fighting
force being a well-trained military ma
chine while the American Indian is a
hevible unit, there is one thing in
which they are very much alike. AS q
humorous English writer-Punch and
it's punsters still ive-puts it:
81 have had an opportunity to study
both the Indians of the East and the
Indians of the West, and while they
nre very dissimilar in most things,
when it comes to courage, I may be
excused for saying that it is Sikhs of
one and half dozen of the other!"

r. H. Simonds EuIogizes Col. Ray
nal c. Boiling.
eerviees Of Aviation Expert, sefcra
His Untimely Death, Were Of the
Greatest Value TO the Coun.
try He Loved.

The men whom we could least spare,
and there are none we would willingly
spare, are the men who are giving
their lives to stem the fury Of the
German onslaught, writes F. 81.
Simonds in American Review Of Re-
views.
It Is this thought which must be
In the mind Of all who knew Col.
Raynal C. Boiling, dead to the enemy
in the early days Of the great Ger
man offensive in March. Among all
the Americans who felt and foresaw
the coming Of this war to our own
country, none with clearer vision or
more instant response set himself to
the task, alike Of preparing himself
and of striving to persuade his fell
low-countrymen to prepare them
selves. He chose for his work the
aviation branch and for the three
years, while the war was still remote
and meaningless to millioas Of people
on this side Of the Atlantic, he de-
voted his life to study and to practical
training in flying.
When at last the war came, no
American Of his age counted greater
material success or was richer In the
things men sacrifice for an ideal, than
Colonel Boiling. General solicitor for
the United States Steel corporation.
respected and honored in the legal
profession for his attainments and
his promise, recognized as the one
whose influence anG power for use
fulness In the future was to be great,
happy in a home which gave him all
that man can hope to receive on
this side Of his life, Colonel Boiling
laid aside all of these things to re-
spond to the cali Of his country, not
only willingly but ready trained for
practical service.
For those who knew him and loved
him the tragedy Of his death, a
death which all who knew his daring
spirit, the unfailing response it made
to every challenge Of danger and diff
fculty foresaw, does not lie in the
fact that he met the death he ex-
pected and they expected for him.
Rather it is found in the realization
that a man who might have done so
much more in aiding his country and
his countrymen to prepare for the
real struggle, whose services were so
essential, whose loss was so irrepar-
able on the practical side has been
lost to us at this grave hour.
Colonel Boiling did not die before
he had done much which will count
in the future and will be a portion Of
the history Of American organization
for the conflict.

ried life, has been turned into girls
school under the pressure of war. The
duchess of Albany owns it now, whose
son, the duke Of Saxe-Coburg Gotha,

There is a pretty strong feeling IN

Non-InfIammabIe Celluloid.

The usefulness of celluloid as a
substitute for various materials is
lessened by its extreme infiamma'
bility. Considerable interest has,
therefore, been aroused by the inven-
ton by professor in a japanese
university of non-combustible, or
at any rate slow-burning celluloid.
While not exactly ireproof this sub
stance requires a great deal of heat
to kindle it, and burns very slowly.
The new material is made from the
soy bean, which the japanese have
found so widely useful, and it is said,
includes the use of formalin to pro-
duce a durable, hornlike substance.
It is claimed that the japanese prod
uct will be cheaper as well as much
preferable to the combustible celluloid
to which we are accustomed.

RISES IN DEFENSE OF DOG
Toronto Newspaper Man Vigorously
Condemns Silly Proposal That
They Be Killed Off in Wartime.

A wrathful correspondent Of the
Mail and Empire suggests that dogs
ought to be killed off in wartime OF
else such a stiff tax imposed upon
their owners as greatly to reduce the
dog population. Similar views have
been expressed since the war in Eng
land. Only the other day Lord Claud
Hamilton said that pet dogs are a
nuisance and that if he had his way
he would slaughter all the Pekingese
dogs in the country and have them
made into meat pies" Not long ago
Punch presented a picture Of tough
looking citizen grooming an equally
tough-looking bull terrier, while Gu
rate addressed him as follows: Don't
you think, my good man, that in war
time you would be better employed in
keeping a useful animal, pig, for
instancew "Yus," growled the dog
fancier. "and a nice fool I'd look
goin' rattin' with a pig" Proposals to
destroy dogs are founded rather on
personal prejudice or ignorance than
en- d consideration Of the advantage
20 be gained by their determination.
The assertion that they consume much
food that might better be converted
to human use is not justified. AS q
rule dogs live on table scraps and odds
and ends of food which would other
wise be wasted. AS for the Hamilton
suggestion about making Pekes into
meat pies, 1t is probable that all the
pekes in the British isles would not
provide a single enjoyable meal for
one battalion.
1t is true that dogs frequently kill
sheep, but they also kill cats and rats
and thus help to square the account.
In thousands Of farnhouses they con-
stitute an invaluable guard for the
women folk. They even do such chores
as driving up the cows, churning the
milk, fetching and carrying and per-
forming other services that make
amends for the undeniable fact that
they get their hair on the furniture
and come into the kitchen with muddy
paws. At the front they are doing war
work Of undeniable value. In Belgium
they are beasts Of burden. They carry
messages from the trenches to head
quarters in the rear. They guard
against enemy raids; they locate the
wounded lying in No Mans Land, and
are a real pal to many thousands OF
honaesick Soldiers. A proposal to abol-
ish dogs is about as sensible as pro-
posal to abolish nephews, and has
anout as much chance of succeeding
Toronto Mail and Empire.
