Paradise Worth Attaining.

According to the Koran the soil Of
paradise is composed of musk and SAT-
from, sprinkled with pearls and hya-
cinths. The walls of the mansions are
of gold and silver; the fruits are of a
flavor and delicacy unknown to NOR
tails. Numerous rivers flow through
the paradise. Some are of wine, 9TH
ers of milk, honey and water. The
pebbles are rubies and emeralds; the
banks of musk, camphor and saffron.
The meanest inhabitant of the Moham-
medan paradise will have $4,000 serv-
ants and Y wives. Wine, though for
hidden on earth, will there be freely
allowed and will not inebriate.

ANT NURSES OF BUTTERFLIES
Peculiar Relationship Which Natural
lists Have Observed Between Crea-
lures Which are Enemies.

Ants and butterflies are not ordinar-
ly on friendly terms, for ants have a
ruthless custom of Selling and devour-
ing their winged acquaintance. There
is, however, one species of butterfly
tn, larvae of which are protected by
the large black ants found in Indian
gardens.
The secret of this care lies in the
fact that the larvae give out sweet
liquid Of which the ants are very fond,
and which they obtain by gently strok-
ing the little creatures with their an
tennae. At the foot of bush on
which the larvae feed, the ants con-
strsct temporary nest and are then
ready to act as attentive nurses.
About the middle of June the ants
are busy running about on this bush
in search of the laryae, and driving
them downward toward their own
nest. When the prisoners reach their
places, they at once fall into pupae.
During this period. if the loose earth

that tore William Shavchenko from
his seventeen-year-old bride, Dora, in
Russia six years ago and led her to

1t Is Paternal Monarchy.
The government of Afghanistan is
an absolute, but paternal, monarchy.
The Amir is the executive and the jul
dicial head of the state. He has a
council which is composed of Moham-
medan priests, noblemen and the rep
resentatives Of the people. This coun-
Gil is divided into an upper and lower
house. He has cabinet ministers, but
none is permitted to give any advice
unless asked for it. But, quite unlike
this absolute monarch of Afghanistan
is accessible even to the humblest
peasant of the kingdom for redress of
wrongs. The KaZiS act as judges.
1t may be noted here that drinking liq-
uor is absolutely forbidden in Afghan
istan, and violation may be punished
by death.
Afghanistan has no outlet to the sea
and hence no navy. But the para
mount factor in it's life is it's state Of
military preparedness. Out of politi-
cal and military chaos new Afghan
istan has been created by the supreme
genius of Abdur Rahman, the late ia
Their of the present Amir. He fought
his way to the throne of Afghanistan,
and Immediately after his recognition
set himself to recognizing the scat
tered forces of the army. He hired
Turkish officers to train his officers and
to drill his men. He built forts all
over his kingdom, especially along it's
frontiers. He established arsenals,
two of which, those at Kabul and He
rat, were under German military ex-
perts for some time. Abdur Rahman
used his subsidy money in buying guns,
rifles and munitions of war from the
British. He built storehouses through
out his kingdom for storing foodstuffs
to be used only in cases of emergency.
He built strategic roads-though there
is not single mile of railroad in
Afghanistan-over some of the almost
impossible parts of his mountain king
dom.

band about it's trunk.
In about a week the butterfly is
ready to come forth and is tenderly
assisted to leave its shell. If it is
strong and healthy, it is allowed to
spread its wings and fly away, but
should it prove delicate the ants exer-
else the utmost care in assisting it to
the tree, and holding it there in safe
ty. 1t is a curious sight to watch these
fragile creatures going about in per-
feet confidence among the fierce ants,
which have, however, by no means
adopted the profession of nursing for
the love of it, for when the larvae of
another species are thrown among
them they Immediately set upon them

The navy departlaeat has released

The navy department has released
from Office and shsre duty the regu-
lars of the navy and the reservists and
has assigned them to active duty with
the fleet. Their places as clerks will
be taken by women wherever possible.
Rear Admiral MCGOWAN, paymaster
general of the navy, issued the order in
connection with this change in policy.
"Every man released from shore duty,
whatever his rank or rating, adds just
one more to the fighting force" says
this order. Every man of every rank
and rating desires, of course. to get to
the firing line as soon as his services
ashore can be spared.
M man in the navy is willing in war
time to do anything that a woman can
do as well; whereas no officer can be
expected to be content in any part of
the shore establishment unless engaged
upon supervisory work so important in
it's nature that it cannot properly be
delegated to any person of lesser rat
ing.
Wherefore it is requested and di-
rected that the officer in charge of
each division of the bureau of supplies
and accounts make careful and criti-
cal survey of his personnel, both COM
missioned and enlisted. to the end that
the paymaster general may know how
many and which men can be spared
without seriously interfering with the
work. These reports will include not
alone reservists but regulars as well,
and it is to be distinctly understood in
this connection that applications from
individuals for sea or overseas service
will not be necessary-the one and
only object being to carry on the work
here and at the same time release the
maximum number of men for duty at
the front"

The Liberty motor, developed by the
department of military aeronautics, is
to have special engine oil which is to
be known as the Liberty aero OIL"
1t was developed by the fabrication
branch while the latter was still part
Of the signal corps. 1t is a mineral
oil and will be used not only on the
Liberty motor but on all stationary
cylinder aircraft engines of the army
and navy.
Its development is due to the energy
and skill of staff of men who worked
exclusively on the problem for a year.
Capt. o. J. May, who deserves greatest
credit for its production, so exhausted
himself by his labors that he could
not recuperate from an illness and
died.
When the aircraft program was an
nounced in 1917 no one in authority
had a definite idea as to the proper
kind of fabrication required. There
was no uniformity. For every engine
there was specific oil. Some en-
gineers insisted on castor oil, others
mineral oil. still others castor and
mineral oils mixed. 1t was estimated
that 100000 gallons of castor oil,
costing So per gallon, would be re-
quired and that quantity was not avail
able.
Captain May and assistants set out
to develop a suitable lubricant for the
Liberty motor at an average cost Of IS
cents a gallon, and also a system for
retaining oil already used. In 20
days Captain May supervised the run
ming Of 81 engine tests in a laboratory
where five engine tests week would
be complete program. These en-
gines were run with different kinds of
oils and each oil was analysed and
measured before and after tests. The
work required ceaseless vigil. Alti-
tude tests were made in an alright
building capable of having the air
within it partly exhausted.
From these tests the Liberty aero
oil developed. 1t will cost about one
fourth the price of castor oil, saving
the government perhaps $11,OO0,OOO a
year. A system of reclaiming used
Oil was developed and at least so per
cent can be made fit to use again.

The national war labor board has de-
cided against establishment at this
time of a minimum wage to be applied
generally throughout industry. 1t
adopts an attitude firmly opposed both
to unjust profits on the part of capital
and unreasonable demands on the part
of labor, stating that capital should
have only such reasonable returns as
will assure it's use for the worlds and
the nations cause, and that the physi-
cal wellbeing of labor and its physical
and mental effectiveness, in comfort
reasonable in view of the exigencies of
the war, likewise should be assured.
The board declares the war to be an
interregnum in which the wheels of
industry should turn only in the COM
mon cause and for common ends, and
neither for unjust profits on the part
of capital or unfairly inflated wages
for labor, stressing maximum produc-
ton as the paramount necessity and
unselfish cooperation as the prelimi-
nary essentials to this accomplishment.
There is a reformation by the board
of the principle that the worker is en-
titled to a wage sufficient to sustain
himself and his family in health and
comfort, and restatement by the
board to apply this principle in each
