Romantic Mississippi Valley.

It is not surprising that the Missls-

sponsive to the chimes of romance
than to the harsh clang Of realism.
The West in itself Is a romance. Vir-

chief field of tourney for romance in
America totter before the history of
vast area whose soberest chronicles
are enlivened by the most enthralling
adventures and a long succession OF
picturesque characters. The French

AnimaIIs Ewes.

The eyes of an animal can only work
together when they can be brought to
bear upon an object at the same time;
so that, as a rule, the eyes Of a fish
must work more or less independently.
This is sometimes also the case when
the eyes can cooperate, as anyone who
watches a plaice or other fiat fish In
an aquarium will soon discover.
Many animals possess more than
two eyes, which do not act together. A
leech, for example, has ten eyes on the
top Of its head, which do not work in
concerts and q kind Of marine worm
has two eyes on the head and a row
down each side of the body. Some liz
ards have an extra eye on the top OF
the head, which does not act with the
other two. A bee or wasp has two
large, compound eyes, which possibly
help each other, and are used for near
vision, and also three little simple eyes
on the top OF the head, which are en-
ployed for seeing things q long way
off. They are well eqipped.

Simple Glass Cement.

The amateur worker who desires
to make a trough or tank, or to repair
dishes and receptacles Of glass or
other material for Photographic
purposes, may be glad to know Of an
old recipe for producing a suitable
cement for the purpose. Take about
half a pound of finely pulverized
stone and glass Tin equal proportion,
/. e., quarter pound of each), ard
after thoroughly mixing it with four
ounces Of sulphur, subject the COM
pound to a moderate heat until the
sulphur melts. At this point stir
well until the whole is homogeneous,
and then pour into a mold until re-
uuIred for use. When actually
wanted it should be reheated to 24S
degrees Fahrenheit, at which tempera-
ture 1t melts freely, and used In the
usual manner according to the nature
of the particular work IN hand. This
cement is recommended as being alb
solutely impervious to water, 1t resists
acids and all atmospheric action, is NOT
affected by boiling water, and even al
a temperature of 800 degrees 1t hold:
firmly and remains hard.

weak, tired, llstless, their blood is thins
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, a smooth, rudy skin, and
feel the exhilaration of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure
rich, red blood is the best insurance

are Just as disastrous in economic ana
industrial systems as In affairs OF
state. The freedom Of the individual
is vital In democracy, but equally 90
is its necessary limitation Of noninter-
ference with the liberty Of others. And
this principle must hold In financial
and commercial as well as In personal
relations. The freedom for which our
fathers eontended was freedom Of the
mind, not liberty TO use stored-up
wealth or wide-ranging combination as
instruments of Industrial or social OPP
preston. The theory and practice Of
cooperation must bind society togeth-
er es tt must unite the nations of the
world. For equality, freedom and JUS
tice to all men and all races form the
conditions under which civilization
may endure.
War Must Bring Great Changes.
The great war must bring many
great changes. Behind every war
turks revolution" We may see uni
versal revolution or universal collapse.
The precepts of Jesus and the religion
associated with his name must have
tremendous meaning or they will have
none. The hope of the world is that
this meaning is real and that the
inevitable social revolutions may be
bloodless, while the institutions they
sweep away may be precisely those
which most impede human advance
ment.
Democracy may not necessarily
build up great nations, but permanent
greatness can rest on no other founda-
ton. For the future the people must
indeed be everything.
In the prophetic words of Barbusse
"The 100000 slaves hurled upon
one another In the mud Of war by
guilt and error shall uplift their hui
man faces and at last reveal the germ
of determining will. The future Is
in the hands of these slaves. The al
lance to be cemented some day by
those whose numbers and whose mis-
cry alike are infinite will transform
