NOT ENOUGH TO KNOW LAW
Young Men Seeking Admission to Bar
Must Have General Understand
ing of Many Things.

1t goes without saying that lawyer
must know a little something about
law, but many persons will be inter-
ested to discover that the young men
who have taken the preliminary exam
nations for admission to the bar must
know something else.
They were required to write an es-
say on "The Growth of Democracy
a very good thing for them to under
stand. To test their knowledge of lit
erature they were asked to give the
name of the author and the work in
which any three of seven famous char
aoters appear, including John Alden,
Mrs. Caudle, Wilkins Micawber, Sir
John Falstaff and Faithful. They were
asked to tell what the Balkan pensnsu-
la is and the countries included in 1t,
ana to name the five principal coun-
tries in Africa, and to bound several
American states. And they were ask
ed to tell about the Invincible armada
and the origin of the British revolu-
ton of $685. as well as other facts In
European history. In addition their
knowledge of arithmetic, algebra,
geometry, Latin and American history
was tested.
Those who passed the examinations
may go on with the study Of the law.
And it is supposed that their general
knowledge will expand to keep pace
with their growing knowledge of the
principles and practice of the law

TO ADD STRENGTH TO COTTON
Machine Devised by New Jersey Man
Is Something for Which the World
Has Been Looking.

There is probably no service which
subjects cotton fabric to so severe a
test as that it has to endure in an au-
tomobile tire, says Scientific Amer
lean. The fabric serves as a rein
forcement for the rubber 1t is de-
signed to withstand an enormous ten
sile strength in all directions, i'm
posed by steady pressure Of air within
the tire, and must also withstand the
sudden shocks due to the passage of
the wheel over Instructions. At the
same time 1t must be perfectly f1exi-
BILE; for it is fiexed constantly as the
wheel runs over the ground. The fab
ric cannot have It's strength increased
merely by using heavier threads, for
this would interfere with its fexibil-
fly. It has occurred to an inventor,
William G. Trautvetter of Paterson.
N. J., that n fabric might be designed
in which, in addition to the regular
warp and filing, diagonal reinforcing
threads might be Incorporated. And,
starting out with this idea, he has de-
signed a machine which will actually
weave such fabric. Anyone accus-
toned to handling looms or familiar
with the operation of these machines
will realize how revolutionary must
be mechanism which will put bias
threads into q woven fabric.

NOT WORK OF ARCHITECTS
"CoIoniaI" Buildings Which Stand as
Models Were the Product of the
Carpenters Brain.

1t is remarkable fact that the three
buildings in Philadelphia which are
regarded as peculiarly characteristic,
and which may be said to have set
the style for similar structures in this
country, were designed by amateur
architects. These buildings are the
Girard National bank, Christ church
and Independence hall, which probably
should have been mentioned in re-
verse order.
While the colonies developed sew
eral promising painters, the architects
province, until the approach of the last
century, seems to have been relegated
to the carpenter and builder. virtu-
ally all of the buildings that we most
revere as excellent examples of the
, colonial style are the products of car
penters and not of architects. There
was no specializing in those days, and
the carpenter studied the refinements
of architectural style and such en-
cheering as was used also came from
the same hand.
At the same time, 1t must be re-
membered that the carpenter in those
days did not have to depend upon the
mill to make his woodwork, but the
holdings, the window frames and such
other woodwork as he required he
made himself or had made by other
carpenters under his direction. This
circumstance called for ability in de-
signing and skill in cutting wood. and
the result is shown in the many exist
ing examples Of colonial building.

MENACE TO CAUCASIAN RACE
Practice of PoIygamy in the Orient
Constitutes Peril Which Must
Not Be Underestimate.

The storm center of social reform
In Asia for the next quarter of CEN
fury is likely to be over the relations
of the sexes, writes Tyler bennett in
Asia. If any statement of the mem
ace of polygamy were necessary to
bring home to American readers the
immediacy of the subject, some re-
cent statements from the editorial
columns of the Far Eastern Review
would seem to be suitable. The eau
casian population of the world Is dou-
bling its number once In hundred
years; the dark-skinned races, which
now outnumber the white population
two to one, are doubling their num-
bers every twenty-five years.
At least such is the case in Korea,
where the most recent figures are
available The editor of the Far East
ern Review figures out that at the
present rate of increase the Caucas-
ian element in the worlds population
will have shrunk in a hundred years
to scarcely per cent. The oriental
demands male children, as many Of
them as he can produce The editorial
in question says: $50 long as the
oriental man is able to arrogate to
himself the right to possess plural
wives, just so long will polygamy pre-
vail. But there is way out and one
which is becoming broader and more
easy to tread each year. The wife
with foreign education is a precious
thing in China In the eyes of the re-
turned students, since she is one Of
few women of his own race that
realizes and understands his peculiar
aspirations. She has It In her hands
to be the one and only wife, and If
the few examples that have come I'M
der the writer's notice are any critic
rion, she will exert that power to the
utmost"

PASSPORT IDEA is OLD ONE
There ls Record Of Document Granted
by Julius Caesar to
Philosopher.

According to writer In London An
swers, passports, without which one
cannot at present quit the country ex-
cept as soldier or a sailor, are of
very ancient origin. The earliest of
which there Is record is one granted
by julius Caesar to a philosopher, and
is worded as follows:
"If there be anyone on land or sea
hardy enough to modest Potaman, let
him consider whether he be strong
enough to wage war with Caesar"
In normal times passport is not a
difficult thing to obtain In England. The
application must be accompanied by a
declaration made by the applicants

HERALDRY TRACED TO BEASTS
Habit Of Elephant Only One of Classic
Myths Which Seem to Have
Been Believed

In the past, heraldic beasts were
often chosen for deliberately allegori-
cal reasons, founded upon classic
myth. King Sisinhand's elephant. for
example, was shown surrounded by
flies, and the motto was: "As best /
cam" The reference was to the crafty
manner In which, according to Pliny.
the kingly creature destroys his tiny
enemies.
'Their skin is covered neither with
hair nor bristle; no, nor so much as In
their tails, which might serve them in
good stead to drive away the busy and
troublesome fly" the good old transla-
tor rendered Pliny, "but full their skin
Is Of cross wrinkles lattice-wise; and
therefore, when they are stretched
along and perceive the flies by whole
swarms settled on their skin, suddenly
they draw these crannies and creeies
together close and so crush the flies all
to death. This serves them instead of
a tail, name and long hair"

MYSTERY IN FOOD SUBSTANCE
Scientists Seeking to Isolate Material
That Has Been Found to Be
Essential to Life.

Not least, among the discoveries Of
the last score of years is that a GER
tain mysterious food substance-that
is neither protein, fat, nor carbohy-
date nor any of the hitherto known
plant or animal constituencies in
minute quantity essential to life Lack
of this substance in an exclusive diet
of polished rice has been demonstrated
to be the cause of the disorder of the
peripheral nerves known as beri-beri.
The disease, with its partial paralysis
and dropsical swellings, affects not only
man but fowls, rats and pigs, and the
small amount of the missing material
contained in water or alcoholic ex-
tract OF the rice polish is an effective
remedy or preventive. While the term
"vitamine" has been applied to sub
stances of this class, w. Ramsden pro-
poses substituting "sitacoid," meaning
medicine material associated with
food. Enough of the substance for
thorough investigation has not yet
been isolated, but it has been shown
to be entirely absent from white flour,
polished rice, arrow-root, and some 9TH
or products. Bread from white flour,
containing little from its yeast, has
nor enough for health. Wheat bran
contains a little, wheat embryo has
more, and it exists In some amount in
yolk of egg, animal fats, milk, cheese,
butter, animal fat margarine, green
leaves, soy beans, millet, flaxseed, and
apparently in oats, rye and maize.
Lard is the one animal fat from which
it. is absent, while none is found In

Still, no man of his like could have

seemed to think lot of him. She
would have made a much better wife
than many American girls he knew,

he been silly enough to let the ideas

those ideas had been imbedded in his
