Wrist Watches Afloat.

Wrist watches at sea, with their
luminous dials, are at once a convent
ence, q safeguard and peril. You can
tell the time without tearing your
clothes to pieces or going to light.
When you walk along the deck at night
you can hold your forearm so that the
dial glows in the sight of all who are
passing along the deck and thus pre-
vent collisions. If you don't play up
your wrist watch, you are supposed to
whistle 'ssweet and low in the dark as
you pass along. But if you are not
passing along the deck, only lingering
along the deck rail, and are fortunate
in having one of the few women who
are crossing as your companion in that
lingering, your luminous dial at rest
on the deck rail is apt to wreck the
wonderful sense of seclusion that dark
ened decks give these war times. One
heartless patrol trip or two ago step
ped to the rail and asked a dismayed
subaltern not to have his wrist watch
"quite so far around whatever that
meant, because it might be detected by
a submarine.-Nelson Collins in the

ITALY HAD FIRST PAWNsHoP
From That Country the System Gradu-
ally Spread Over the Rest Of the
Civilized World.

The French call them monts-de-piete,
but no satisfactory explanation for this
nomenclature is Forthcoming. The es-
tablishment Of municipal pawnshops in
France was attended with more diff
Guilty than was the case in other cOun-
tries.
It is from Italy that the idea Of mu-
nicipal pawnshops spread over the rest
of Europe. A municipal pawnshop was
set up in Madrid in the year 1905,
when priest with very little capital
opened up as an ''uncle." The system
was tried at Avignon in 1877, but, it
was not until the year 1777 that Paris
itself was provided with mont-de-
piete. The national assembly upset the
monopoly and the business passed into
private hands. The extortions of the
pawnbrokers in time led, however, to
demand for the re-establi lishment rof
the governmental institutions. In 1906
Napoleon e-established the monopoly,
regulating it by laws that are still in
force. The interest charged amounts
to about z per cent.
In Paris the mont-de-piete is in effect
a department Of the administration,
but in the provinces it is a municipal
monopoly.

Saccharin Not Injurious.

Some quite unfounded statements
have been made to the effect that sac
charm disturbs the digestion, Injuries
the kidneys, or is even responsible for
gastric carcinoma. There is no evi-
dence that saccharin or. it's allies has
any effect whatever on the economy
even when it is used in quantities
larger than are required to sweeten
foods and beverages to suit ordinary
tastes. And this, in spite of the fact that
saccharin has been in use for more
than quarter of a century. zs
The mere fact that it is an artificial
substance remotely derived from coal
tar does not necessarily render it poi
sonous, as some seem to suspect. At
the same time it is, of course, value
less as a food in the sense in which
sugar is food, and even as flavor it
to most tastes is inferior to the natural
substance. British Medical Journal.

FROM ' PALAc i Of HARAo N Il,

Rulers Throneroom.

The first word in a long time from
the Eckley B. Coke expedition to Egypt
has been received at the University
of Pennsy ylyania museum from Dr..
Clarence S.5Fisher, its leader. Doctor
Fisher reported excellent success dur
ing the winter explorations at Den
dereh, the ancient capital of Egypt. up
the Nile. n Il 4.
In April he returned to Memphis and
continued his work of uncovering the
palace Of Merenpthah, who is identi-
fed by many Biblical scholars as the
Pharaoh Of the Oppression, whose
stubbornness brought on the plaques.
If this is correct, the great hall and
throneroom of the palace, which has
now been completely uncovered, was
the scene of the appearance Of, Moses
and Aaron before Pharaoh, and where
the signs and wonders were peri
The throne is said to be in good con-
dition, but Egypt will not permit it to
come to this country.
Fortunately, Doctor Fisher has
worked over the pieces of the 12 colos-
sal pillars which upheld the roof and
has recovered enough to make one
complete pillar, which will be brought
to the university museum and set up.
It will be the most notable specimen
of Egyptian architecture in this coun-
try. The pillars were six feet in diam
eter, 80 feet high, covered with in
ScriptiOnS and pictures inlaid with
gold. Much Of the paneling Of the
room and the lintels of the doors also
were inlaid with gold, and these will
be brought here.
The natives of Egypt, it is said, call
the palace .The Temple Of Moses,' as
they have an idea that is where he was
reared.

"The Fool Hath Said"

This is a message from one who
knows Coningsby DaWson-to those
who do not realize. It is a message
direct from the trenches in France by
a soldier and writer to US behind the
lines. He says:
Life has swung back to a primitive
decision since the war commenced.
The decision is the. same for both
men and nations. They can choose the
world or achieve their own souls.
They can cast mercenary lots for the
raiment of crucified righteousness or
take up their martyrdom as disciples.
Those men and nations who have been
disciples together can scarcely fail to
remain friends when the tragedy is
ended. What the fool says in his
heart at this present moment is not

SURGEONS DO GREAT WORK
Rehabilitation Of Wounded Soldiers
Seems Little Short Of Miraculous
to a Civilian.

Foster Debevoises Of South Orleans,
N. j., on recent tour through France
and England, visited the armies at the
front, and speaks with enthusiasm Of
their indomitable spirit and unfailing
hopefulness.
In commenting he. speaks on the
work done for wounded soldiers:
t'The men in English cities, of whom
I saw hundreds, without legs or arms,
or with reconstructed faces, and those
in hospitals in process of being mend
ed, all had the same words: If only
I could go back again!' And this
brings me to another wonderful thing,
and that is the way the hospitals are
performing miracles. When finally,
sometimes after months and months Of
treatment, the reconstructing process
is finished. the men are taught trades
and placed in positions so that they
are enabled to take up their lives
again with a large degree Of happiness.
Straps operate as muscles on artificial
legs and arms; and / have seen such
men swing hammer, play golf, knit,
or work at lathes. It is almost incred-
ible what is being done. Hats off to
the doctors, I .say!"
The United States government will
apply the same methods of recon-
struction to those of our boys that are
disabled or crippled Marion Couth-

Rubber in Japan.

The rubber manufacturing industry
in Japan has developed greatly within
the past year in the scope and variety
Of its products. In the export trade,
too, its Importance is increasing. The
growth of the industry may be seen
from the steady increase in the i'm.
port Of crude rubber. The official trade
returns state that the import in 1917
totaled 9,689,632 yen over the figure
for 1915. Formerly most of the auto
mobile tires used in Japan were i'm
ported into that country, but now the
greater part Of Japan's needs are sup
piled by domestic manufacturers. The
export of automobile tires has also
begun with the development Of rubber
plants in Japan.

SOL LDlERs LlK Ed WAR BREAD
British 81 Fighting Men Found Their
Health Improved Through Use 81 n
h Unbolted Wheat Meal. 5.

"a little more than a century ago,
when Britain had been fighting for.
years against Napoleon, food became
very scarce. Fol owing is from book.
on brGeadd-mak e d king, written by Sylvester
Graham, in 1887: ss .;.
TN order to conserve wheat as much
as possible, the British government or
dered that the army should}b be supplied
with bread made from unbolted wheat
meal, /. e., simply the wheat ground
without having the bran or middlings
removed. The soldiers were at first
displeased with the bread and refused
to eat it. even casting it from them in
great rage, but after two or three
weeks they began to be much pleased
with it and preferred it to the fine
flour bread.
"The result of this experiment was
that not only was the wheat made to
60 further, but the health Of the sol
diers improved SO much and so mani
festly in the course of few months
that it became matter of common re-
mark among themselves and of obser-

and physicians of the army. They ex-
pressed themselves with confidence
and zeal on the subject. The public
declared that the soldiers were never
SO healthy and robust. The public pa
pers were for months filled with praise
Of whole-Wheat bread, and it was reg
ularly introduced into families.
"Still, after this experiment with
such happy results and so general and
full a testimony had been given in fa-
or Of the coarse-wheat bread, when
large supplies of superfne flour came
in from America, and the crops from
home became again abundant and the
act of parliament regarding the food
of the army became extinct, most of
the people by degrees returned to their
old habits of eating fine bread"

ltS people.
"It is easy to realize how weak such
diplomatic ground had to be. There
fore, the sharp minds in the. United
States could not help being deeply i'm
pressed by the possibility, in the event
Of breach with Japan, of an almost
simultaneous rupture with Germany.
There were no reasons lacking for such
a conclusion, and the dispatch ad-
dressed by Zimmerman, (January,
1919 to his minister in Mexico and
intercepted by the American service,
has drawn, in summary sketch, the
eventuality of an understanding be-
tween Toxic and Berlin for combined
moves with the Mexican territory as
continental basis. ~.
''Of course, the perfect loyalty of
Japan toward Great Britain and the
Entente in the present war gave no
hope Of any success to Zimmerman S
audacious plan. But, in order to study
more closely the question, let US dis
card this present war and look at the
matter as if the gigantic confagration
had not burst out What did the
American observer forecast prior to
1914 when they were considering the
cardinal points Of their horizon? They
perceived severe difficulties arising at
any time with Japan, since the set
