SOME OF THE INNS OF COURT

ton With Influential Men.

Gray's inn, where the prime minister
and the heads Of the air service take
snack together in the evening, comes
down to US through the Grays of Will
ton, whose home or inn it anciently
was, from the bishop and canons of ST.
Paurs cathedral. The inn itself, bear

the Hundred of Ossulstone, and the
whole was included in a yet larger
property, states writer in the London
Chronicle. How st. Paul's itself be-
came possessed Of the estate is not
clear, but 1t is believed that 1t was at
one time the personal property of one
of the canons, who, 1t was enacted,
might give and sell their lands with

ANIMALS ARE GOOD SWIMMERS
Polar Bear, Who Passes HIS Time In
Icy Waters, 10 Regarded Best
Though Not swftest.

Nearly all animals are better swim
mers than man and take to the water
naturally. The rhinOcerOs and hippo
potamus are wonderful swimmers and
divers, while the Indian elephant
crosses great rivers with heavy loads,
London Tit-Bits states.
The elk and the reindeer are first
class swimmers. The elk Keeps his
head above water and crosses directly
from bank to bank to avoid turning.
The reindeer, on the other hand, turns
as often as he likes, keeping his head
only little above the surface. But Of
all swimmers Of all climes the best,
though not the swiftest. is the polar
bear, who passes half his time In the
water swimming and diving. His
swimming power Is nothing short Of
miraculous II it be remembered that
the water in the regions he freQuents
is invariably cold and that cold is nor
mally prohibitive to good swimming.
There are bears that can swim from
twenty-five to thirty miles without
great effort.
One of the swiftest swimming ami
mails is the squirrel. A sportsman on
one occasion, having at hand SPUR
rel born In captivity, which had never
seen water, wanted to see if it could
swim and took it with him in row.
boat to the center of the lake. The
squirrel turned toward the bank, head
and paws above the water, back and
tail underneath it, and began to swim
so rapidly that it was with the great
est difficulty that the man recovered it
when it reached the shallow water
near the land.

THE ECONOMY OF VICTORY.

No matter what this war costs the
Government and the people of the
United States in the way of money,
it is going to be much cheaper to win
this war than to lose it.
The commercial and financial losses
that would follow a German victory
are not to be calculated. ALI that we
spent would be lost, indemnities be-
yond calculation would have to be
paid, and along with these losses
would come continuing loss in for
eign commerce that would spell dis
aSter.
With these material losses we
would lose our national liberty and
independence, our power to secure
our international rights, our right to
live in world ruled by the dictates
of humanity and civilization.

Temperament Of CameIs,

Bearing an innate grudge against all

camel will use the great strength of
his long legs to kick his keepers or the
dogs which guard him In the waste
places, but In the presence of enc
mics, among wolves or other beasts
Of prey, he is a coward, forgets the
very use Of his legs and proves his
cratic temper by screaming and spit-
ting in terror. No camel wants to be
loved, and no one familiar with camels
ever entertains the least affection for
them. They make savages Of what
ever people breeds them. The man who
owns and uses camels cannot live in
a city, he cannot travel the highways
through cultivated country, he cannot
have a permanent abiding place. He
is doomed to live in deserts and arid
grasslands, to follow the paths that
are lined with evergreen thOrns, tama.

saline water that his evil tempered
beasts prefer and to avoid the haunts
Of men and horses as the horseman

PRACTICAL USE OF POETRY
Without Verse People Would Go About
Isolated From Each Other by
Chaos of Misunderstanding.

II poetry could be In an instant
swept not merely out of print, but
out of language and tradition, there
would be Babel indeed. We should
go about isolated each one from each
by a chaos of misunderstanding, with
no more communication than we could
imprOvise out Of intellectual terms.
says a writer 10 Century Magazine.
We could suggest nothing, cOnnote
nothing, say nothing but what we
could define. The practical reality Of
that loss one may measure by our
proverbial ignorance of certain saw
ages and oriental races whose poetry
Is alien TO our own. Nor is that all !;
for poetry is not alone our common
repository Of past experience, but to
q degree far greater than we realize
our source Of present action. There
Is no need more than to remind any
observer Of human nature that man
kind acts rather upon passion than
upon conviction. Brutus demonstrated
his point in prose; 1t was q poetic ap-
peal that made the stones of Rome to
rise and mutiny. We define and de-
termine and decide, and still do moth

thing Is done.

Eucalyptus and Malaria.

What is the connection between
the eucalyptus and the disappearance
Of the malarial trouble? This has been
only very recently explained. There
is probably no tree having a greater
avidity for water than the eucalyptus.
Experiments with seedlings grown in
water have shown that a baby blue
gum will take up the liquid at an ex-
tremely rapid rate. AS the blue-gums
grow at a marvellous rate Gotten as
much as ten or twelve feet is added
to their height In a single season.
the consumption Of moisture from the
soil goes on at rapidly increasing
rate. Now, 1t Is well-known that the
malarial poison Is introduced into the
blood Of man through the agency of a
certain variety of mosquito (Ano-
pheles), and the dwelling place of
these insects, when in the laryal stage,
Is to be found In pools Of water. With
the planting of the eucalyptus trees
the pools disappear and the marshy
land becomes comparatively dry. Thus
the breeding places Of the mosquitoes
are destroyed and the insects are no
longer able to carry on their pernicious
activities."-S. Leonard Basin, in st.
Nicholas.

Early Use Of Metals.

As compared with Mexico, the tools
employed by the ancient Easter island
ers, though like In shape, are yet more
wonderful when the purpose for which
they were used is considered. It is
believed that the use Of iron was un-
known to the more ancient people of
the earth; certainly few traces are
found. But among the Mexicans there
is evidence of red copper having been
fashioned into tools; and although that
is wonderful enough when the usage is
seen to which the comparatively soft
metal was put, yet still more marvel
Gus are the tools Of volcanic glass
which wrought, carved, cut and CHS
eled the huge images and blocks Of
stone to be found on Easter island. Re.
mains Of these tools are yet to be found
lying about the island quarries.

Weapons Of the Peruvians,

The early Peruvians used clubs and
war-hatchets In battle; also sings, for
throwing stones. Skull-fractures must
often have resulted. But apparently
they trephined also for brain troubles,
and possibly for other diseases, notes
medical authority. The surgeon of
ancient Peru held the head of his pa
tient between his knees, and with a
sharp flint sawed out the button of
bone-an agonizing process, surely.
Sometimes he filed the hole with a
button of silver, or Of mollusk-shell.
but more often he was content to cover
II simply with the nap Of scalp.

ONLY SECURITY FOR A WIFE
Birth of Children Guaranteed Inde-
pendence to the Woman Under the
Code of Hammurabi.

In Babylon, under the code of Ham
murabi, 2270 B. c., the birth OF chill
dren furnished the only financial Sc
curity for a wife. A man might sepa-
rate from wife at will and marry
another but If she had borne him chill
dren he must give back to that wom-
an her dowry, the usufruct of the field,
garden and property, during the minor
ity Of her children and thereafter she
was entitled to a share equal to that
Of a son Of all that has been given to
her children. She may marry the man
Of her choice"
Under the primitive laws Of the Ka-
frs Of South Africa similar provision
Is made, according to writer. A con-
siderable payment is made by the hus-
band to the male relatives Of the wom-
an at the time of marriage. In legal
theory this amount is the property OF
the woman and her children, the rela-
tives receiving 1t as trustees for her
benefit. Here, too, a man may divorce
his wife at will and may demand back
his dOwry II there have been no chill
dren born of the marriage, but his
claim upon it passes upon the birth Of
children. Obviously, where the status
of the wife is entirely subject to the
will of the husband and where the
woman has an enforcible claim against
this property while it remains in the
hands Of her relatives, the birth Of
children furnishes the only assurance
Of security and independence for the
wife.

HUNGER AND COLD
 FACING RUSSIANS FOR THE WINTER

LONDON, Nov. 9.-Russia is fac ing winter of hunger and cold augmented this year because of the extreme scarcity of fuel which pre- vails in all parts of that country. The lack of coal has been keenly felt ever since the loss of the Don etz basin to the Germans early last spring. It affected the railroads and caused factories to be shut down.
 The Czecho-Slovak operations in Siberia and in the Ural region have prevented any relief from that di- rection.
 The stores of wood in Moscow and Petrograd, owing to the lack or transportation facilities and other difficulties too numerous to mention, are far from sufficient to meet the demands of a long winter. A Mos COW paper estimated months ago that the supplies of wood in that city would hardly suffice to satisfy the needs of public utilities this l winter, and that in consequence all private enterprises and homes could not hope to get even limited quan- tity of it.
 To one who has experienced the discomforts of cold Russian win ter even under better conditions the situation is far from alluring The chilly atmosphere of an unheat- ed apartment, darkness in the
 streets and homes, the quiet of city undsiturbed by the rumble ol street cars and motor vehicles, and
 lastly, the uncomfortable feeling ol an empty stomach-such are the
 prospects of the coming winter in | Russia.

SPORTS

BUENOS AIRES. Nov. 9.-Restric- tion of. exports as result of the war has caused Argentina to seek development of it's own natural re sources. A proposal now receiving a great amount of publicity and gen eral approval in the newspapers IS the suggestion made by the Minister of Agriculture, pr. Rusyrreden, to President Irigoyen that the govern ment build an electric power plant at the Igazu Falls which, the minis ter says, would solve the fuel prob lem, open up vast regions of rich resources which are now dormant for lack of transportation facilities and bring Argentina and Brizil clos CT together commercially by means of an electric railroad.
 One of the principal arguments of the minister's friends is that the proposed power plant would do more than any other one thing toward de veloping shipbuilding in Argentina as it would open up the rich pine forests of Misiones, and provide smeiters for reducing tho lip1onite which is found in larger quantities in this region and said to contain IS high as 90 per cent. of iron. The working of the forests would also permit the manufacture of print pa per, which has been so scarce here.
 The Igazu Falls are among the largest in the world. being nearly fifty feet higher than Niagara Falls and three times as wide. They are in the Igazu river in the Argentine territory of Misiones on the Brazilian frontier. One section known as the Devils Throat. is reputed to carry as much water as the Niagara river.
 Dr. Pueyrrodon conferred with the Brazilian minister here on the ques- tion of the two governments coop erating on the proposition.
 Electrical engineers say that one of the smallest falls in the Igazu group could produce million horse power without detracting any from the beauty of the falls.
