PLANTS PURIFIERS or AIR
Their Consumption of Carbonic Acid
Gas, Always Going On, Is of
Great Benefit.

Plants do not breathe or have any
action corresponding to the breathing
of animals. Oxygen is essential to the
sustaining of life in animals, inClud-
ing human beings, and i'll breathing
air they consume or appropriate the
oxygen it contains and give out car
buuic acid gas, which is poisonous.
Plants do not consume oxygen, but
they consume carbonic acid. thus help
Ing to purify the atmosphere, which is
to some extent rendered impure by
the breathing Of animals. They do not
generate oxygen, but they release it
by consuming the CarbOnic acid. Tyn-
dali. a celebrated scientist says: Con
slider all the fires in the world and all
the animals in the world continually
pouring their carbOnic acid into the
atl!c@Isherc Would it not be fair to
conclude that our air must become
more and more contaminated and unfit
to support either combustion or life?
This seems Inevitable, but It would be
a conclusion founded upon half knOWl-
edge. and therefore wrong. A prOvi-
sion exists for continually purifying
tffe atmosphere of its excess of car
bonic acid. BY the leaves of plants
this gas is absorbed, and within the
leaves it is decomposed by the solar
rays. The carbon is stored up in the
tree, while the pure oxygen is restored
to the atmosphere. CarbOnic acid, in
fact, is to a great extent the nutriment
of plants, and inasmuch as animals in
the long run, derive their food from
the vegetable world, this very gas,
which at first sight might be regarded
as deadly constituent of the atmos-
phere. is the main sustainer, both of
vegetable and animal life"

FINEST WEATHER IN TROPICS
Climate So Delightful That the Aver.
age Person Would Soon Tire
of the Monotony.

The days were wonderful, and the
alterations of sun and wind We're as
exciting as the discovery of the
strange Malayan beasts and birds. The
sun rose sOftly-nO breeze moved
cloud or leaf, and even the light came
at first moderately, indirectly, reflect
ed from the higher peaks, or hello
graphed from the mirror of a half-hid-
den, distant waterfall. In early after
noon-one never knew just When-the
fafntest of breezes sifted down and
blurred the lacery of tree-fern shad-
ows. The wind was cool and soon
strengthened, and by night the air was
surging violently through the gap, 81
phOned from the cold SUBMITS down
to the hot, humid valleys. Day after
day one reawakened to the sense Of
tropical surroundings from a convic-
ton of northern autumn, with the
wind full of swirling leaves and the
fronds soughing with the same sad
cadence as the needles of scented
pines of the northland-William Bee
be, in The Atlantic.

or her, as the case may be. Our most
celebrated and successful laborers
asked no odds of anybody. They sim
ply went TO work, somewhere, any,
where that offered opportunity, and
then they helped to build up the COM
munity that supported them and so
became in time grand old men," who
to undiscerning minds seemed to have
been wonderfully favored by fortune.
They did not dangle, but became the
strong supports upon which folk of a
weaker sort leaned and not in vain,
that virtue would come out of them.

stag declared last July against
either indemnities or annexatlons
and the German Government
never repudiated that action.
And yet when the first of Ger
many's enemies admits its de-
feat and sues for peace Germany
calmly announces that she pro-
poses to seize all Russian terri
tory worth having and proposes
to exact an indemnity of a triti-
ing sum of $4,000, 900, 600 from
the people in that part of Russia
not worth having.
These facts have convinced
the United States Government
that Germany still adheres to
her original ambition to crush
first her enemies in Europe,
then to dominate that continent.
And it convices this Government
as nothing else has that Ger
manv must be defeated, if it
takes 10 years to do it. Unless
she is defeated she will sooner or
later paralyze the resistance OF
European enemies and only
America will remain to challenge
her supremacy.
Moreover, officials of this Gov
eminent are somewhat reconcll-
ed to Russia's plight, for they
see in it an opportunity to show
the American people just exactly
what they are up against.
There still remains in this coun-
try a lot of people who took
stock in Germany's selfdefense
pretentions; who seemed to be-
lieve that all she wanted was a
chance to live within her naturr-
al bounds, and who were never
quite convinced that German
militarists were bent upon whole
sale conquests. But if these
people are not now conscious OF
the danger ahead of this and
every other Allied country they
are totally blind.

HYPOCRISY OF GERMAN CLAIMS
OF WAR IN SELF-DEFENSE
MADE MANIFEST.

If any doubt remained in the
mind of any Allied Government
that Germany's war is a war of
conquest and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
that doubt has been removed
completely by the terms of peace
which she has offered Russia,
says the Washington correspond
ent to the Baltimore Sun. And
if any individual citizen of any
country now arrayed against the
Central Powers failed heretofore
to realize what would happen to
him if Germany should win, he
must at last realize if from the
experience which the Russian
people are having.
No circumstance since the war
began has exposed more clearly
the motives of Germany and the
duplicity of German diplomacy
than has the revelation of the
terms proposed by her to the
Bolshevik Government. Not
only does she boldly announce
her determination to occupy Po-
land, Lithuania, Riga and Moon
Island, but she demands a tri-
butte Of $4,000, 100000, the de-
mobilization of the army and the
disarmament of the navy. 1t is
as clear as daylight, therefore,
that Germany is the arch hypo-
critic of all history.
The Huns have prated for
more than three years about a
war that was forced upon them;
about their unwillingness to en-
gage in aggressive measures;
about the necessity of defending
their country against the deter
mination of her enemies to ruin
her, and about the sacrifices
they were making to preserve
their nations territorial integr-
ity. They have insisted that
they entertained no dreams of
world domination and no designs
upon the autonomy of their
neighbors. They only entered
Belgium as a military necess-
ity," they only sunk neutral mer-
chantmen as defensive meas
ure; they only killed women and
children of England from the air
because London was a military
base"
Not only that, but the Reich

ARE YOU DOING YOUR BIT?

In order that this war shall be
won as speedily as possible and
at as little cost, it becomes the
duty of every citizen to accept
the sacrifices and inconvenience
without question. After all We
at home are not making the
great sacrifices. Those who are
selected to undergo. the. hardships
and brave the dangers on the
front are the men who are max
ing the sacrifices. We at home
can tighten their burdens and
lessen their danger of death.
We cannot do it by carping and
whining about the small neces-
sary inconvenience demanded
of us. The laborer who goes on
strike and holds up the building
of ships and manufacture of
needed munitions and supplies,
the farmer who, in spite of his
high prices for products and
larger profits, is unwilling to
give his valuable aid, the house
keeper who endeavors to horde
food supplies, thereby creating a
shortage in the market, the mer-
chant who endeavors to get more
than his just profit, or any other
citizen who refuses to perform
the duty required, is not aiding
his country, is not doing his duty
and is unworthy to enjoy the
benefits his government is striv-
ing to secure for him. That
there are many such is evident.
In some instances they are eX-
cusable because of ignorance.
Many such do not properly un-
derstand and appreciate the real
situation. They are not properly
informed. But in other instanc-
es they are willing for others to
make the sacrifices and do the
work so long as they are not
made to suffer auv Inconvenience,
Every order, rule and regula-
ton imposed by the Government
on the people, the fuel regula-
ton, the flour regulation, the Sc
lective draft scheme, the freight
embargoes and all others are
made for the benefit of the
people and in aid of the selec-
tive prosecution of this war. It

THE LONG GRAVES.

At three different points on
the rugged Scottish coast long
graves have been filled with the
recovered bodies of men who
died with the Tuscania. In one
lies side by side seventy-eight
men, all but three identified, who
came from eighteen of our States
and from Hawaii. These States
and four others are represented
in two burial places. In one is
a long grave with forty-nine
bodies; in another three shorter
ones with forty-four. Thirty
three soldiers in ali remained I'M
identified.
What sorrow and sympathy
could do for these boys lost far
from home was done. Scottish
women sat up all night to sew a
great American flag for one of
the burials. Clergymen and SOL
diers came long distances to as
sist. From miles around the
fishermen and jewellers on lonely
farms gathered in the wintry
rain to join the American surviv-
ors in doing honor to the dead.
Their last resting place will be
suitably marked for memory and
gratitude.
The men in the long graves
gave their lives as simply and as
CALAMITY for their flag, their
country and humanity as if they
had fallen veterans on the fir
ing-lines. They showed their
spirit in their last moment living.
Dead, they are not forgotten.
Their valor and their sacrifice
will not be lost upon their coun-
trymen.

Artificial Snonne Pronanation.

The growing scarcity Of SpOnges has
warned those familiar with harvesting
them that unless means are provided
to augment the natural supply the
sponge industry will be seriously Grip
pied In q few years more. An Eng
lishman, living in Florida, some time
ago selected a site off the Florida
coast, where he started a sponge farm.
At present he has about 100000
sponges, which are capable by subdi-
vision of increasing about tenfold ev-
cry three years. At the end of three
years an annual yield of 100000
sponges can be had. - Portsmouth
