COMPERS GIVES

ais Of the American Federation

conference today, said the dele
CATION Is unprejudiced and open
minded. but that it is bound by
the principles expressed In the
proposals.
The following. he said. are the es-
senual fundamental principles for a
peace treaty:
league of free peoples; no polit.
ical. economic or discriminatory re-
stricuons; no indemnities or re-
prisals for vindictve or injurious
wrongs; recognition of the rights of
small nations; no territorial changes.
except for the welfare OF the people
affected.
The American Federation OF Labor
declaration submitted the following
proposals to the conference:
That the conference is unqualified.
ly determined TO assist the allies in
driving the central powers armies
from the invaded nations. Thus, 1t
is determined TO oppose the central
powers assemblies so long as they
are under control OF the autocratic
governments; that IL indorses Prest
dent Wilson's fourteen points: that
the workers should officially be rep
resented on each belligerent delega-
ton at the peace conference and that
1t favors a world labor conference to
be held simultaneously.
c. l.. Baine. American delegate.
presided at the morning session. He
said he hoped the conference would
be able to arrive at unanimous con-
illusions regarding war aims. which
he said are SO clear that neither
friends nor enemies should misunder-
stand them.

NEED NOT SEEK POPULARITY
, "Expert" May Achieve Highest Meas

VIII Never Be Loved.

There is not much mystery, or even
any at all, in the dislike of "experts"
that is felt and expressed by not few.
The expert man is man who goes to
other men and tells them that the
way in which they are doing their work
is not the best way-that it is bad.
costly, or even stupid way-and that if
they will only listen to him and follow
his advice their work will be improved
and their efficiency increased.
None of us takes pleasure in hear
ing talk of that sort, and the displeas-
ure is greater in exact proportion with
length of the hearers training and ex
perience in conducting his business,
trade, or art. All that the expert says
carries the implication Of adverse criti-
cism directed against the recipient OF
his suggestions, and usually it is criti-
cism of that recipients father and
grandfather. OF course that is re-
scented, and the resentment is bitterest
when the expert goes ahead and gives
undeniable proof that his new way
of doing things is better than the ole
ways which have, long been productive
of honor and profit.
The expert, too, is always open tt

practical he is man. of the

THINGS THAT GROW DOUBLE
Men Find Some Difficulty in
Explaining.

Nature does some strange things in
the formation of vegetables, nuts and
different kinds of fruits, an exchange
states. 1t is quite common to find two
or more growing together. and natural
lists frequently run across some very
curious freaks.
Double ears of corn are quite COM
mon. They grow side by side, and are
sometimes Of equal size; but usually
one has little better chance to grow
and gets the advantage over the other.
A double ear on exhibition in one of
the Western states was certainly a Gu.
riOsity. One side was one variety OF
corn, while the other side was so diff
ferent that it was hard to believe the
two had grown so close togther.
Double heads Of wheat are quite
common, but double grains are scarce
Grains Of rye, however, are often dou
BILE, and the same is true of rice.
Onions, radishes, bects, carrots, tur
nips, cabbages and other vegetables
are often found in double form.
The prettiest specimens of double
peaches are those with two seeds, a:

WHERE GREAT EMPEROR DIED
SSngwood, the Prison House Of Napo-
leon, Is Maintained Much ss
He Knew It. a

Longwood Old House, the prison
home of Napoleon, is about four miles
from jamestown, the capital of St.
Helena. Dismally unattractive, the
place is in about the same condition
that it was in the emperor's time. A
low rambling one-storied farmhouse,
once the dwelling of peasant farmer
of the island, it is hard to connect the
place with the one-time master of the
Tuileries and Versailles. But Long
wood has an air Of romance and mys-
terry of its own, for it was the death
place OF Napoleon.
The house is badly lighted and i'll
ventilated. The rooms are tiny and
musty. The so-called billiard room
could never have held even the small
est table and the players at the same
time. The reception room into which
the emperor was moved when dying, is
the pleasantest spot in the place, for
it boasts of more than one window. 1t
was in the space between the two win
dows that the death bed was placed.
Here today is a bust of the emperor.

visitors book in this reception room,

HAS CONFIDENCE IN AMERICA
English WritergSatiSffed That coun-
try's Spirit Is Indicated and
Undefeatable.

The soundness atc0re Of the modern
man has had one-long triumphant dem
onstration- Take that wonderful little
story of a,certain British superintend-
ent Of the pumping station at some
oil wells in Mesopotamia. A valve in
the Gik .pipe had split.and a fountain
of Oil was being thrown up on all
sides whilegthfrtyyardS off and moth
ing between, the furnaces were In full
blast. ~
To prevent terrible. condagration
and great loss of life. and save the oil
wells, it was necessary to turn off the
furnaces. The superintendent, without
q moments hesitation, sprang through
the oil spray turned off the furnaces,
and died. Modernsman has been doing
things like that all through this war.
We -BritonsYare an insular people,
ignorant, for the most part, of any
thing outsfdeHour own empire; and it
has struck meas a rather wonderful
tribute to America that one could go
the length Of Britain and find hardly
a creature who was not confident that
Americans will display the same en-
durance, bravery and unselfshness
that we have seen displayed by our
own men all these years. Instructive
ly, we know and feel it.
There is something proud in Ameri-
cans as in ourselves, something unde-
feated and undefeatable. 1t comes of
our common cult of freedom and of the
individual conscience, and in both our
countries is growing, not whitening
quality.-John Galsworthy in Harper's

PecuTiarities of Electric Ray.

The electric ray is a species Of fish
found on the Pacific coast. It is known
from central California southwark to
Santa Barbara channel and is very
common in Monterey bay. This fish is
provided with an electric organ COM
posed of hexagonal cells, reaching from
the skin of the upper surface to that
of the lower, and situated at each side
of the head and gill chambers. The
electricity discharged from this ray
has the properties of other electricity,
such as rendering an iron bar mag
netic, decomposing chemicals and pro-
ducfng a spark, says the American
Angler. Stories vary as to the vol
ume of the discharge, but even a small
ray is capable of infiicting considerable
pain. After few discharges the fish
becomes exhausted and must rest be-
fore its electric organs are again func-
tional.
