WATER COLORED By PLANTS
Interesting Discovery the Result Of
! Tests Made by Scientists Of
Harvard University.

' That many marine plants cause sea
water to become alkaline when ex-
posed to sunlight Is definitely proved
through interesting experiments de-
vlsed by w. J. V. Osterhout and A. X.
c. Haas of the laboratory Of plant
physiology, Harvard university.
These gentlemen have found q way
to measure accurately the increased
alkalinity. Without going into details,
1t may be said that this consists in i'm
mersing green seaweed in glass
tube Of salt water to which few
drops Of phenopthalein have been add
ed. After exposure to sunlight, the
water turns pink, and the degree OF
pinkness. measured by matching
against the coors of series of tubes
containing the same concentration Of
Indicator in a series Of buffer solu-
lions" of known alkalinity, gives the
quantity Of alkali produced by the ac-
tiOn of the sunlight.

A Good Method.

There's nobody" said government
official, "who can get rid Of an I'm
portant caller so quickly and at the
same time so smoothly as the presi-
dent.
"Once, at a reception, a man held up
the long line Of guests waiting to
shake the presidents hand while he
recounted at great length some tedious
yarn or other.
'fhe president stood about four
minutes Of this. Then he smiled and
gave start.
"But, my dear sir, am monopoliz-
ing you he said."

IT MAY BE PROPER, BUT

Il may be proper and it may be justice and t may satisfy some. principally defendant and hs friends but surely it does not satisfy the gen. aral public that 2 man found guilty of seditious utterances be punished with fine. Such m offense was committed against the country and as such is treason in lesser degree perhaps than treason for which the law provides death pen- alty but it is treason nevertheless. For that reason. 2 money consideration cannot eXpiate the offense 4 good long jail sentence or intern ment to give the guilty one chance to reflect over his action at the same time making an eN- ample for others whose inclination may run in the same channel would be more appropriate. Sympathzers soon make up fine and repetition of such offense is thus encouraged.
 According to the verdict of the jury who heard the case two days ago, the man was guilty beyond doubt others opinion to the contrary notwithstanding. His ofense was against the country and through his teaching, his utterances .7e may be the cause of some losing their life. Can fine eXpia1e such a crime? If the country ,tas at peace with the world, the offense could varv well be overI0oled but under the circuTn- stances. such offense demands proper punish ment.

THE PRICE OF LIBERTY.

Some of Us "stay-at-home" may form an idea of what the war means by cogitating over the report recently made, showing the work zvhich can be done by motor ambulances on the battlefelds 1t is reported that in 9 period of t#enty-four hours on the French front twenty ambulances carried 700 men, or thirty-fve men 2 car. During a period of six consecutive days he same cars carried 5000 wounded men or an average of siXty-seven men a car day. It is said further that the former figure was during period of moderate activity while the latter represented the maximum attained during 3 great battle
 As enormous as those figures appear, we must remember that the dead are not included nor the wounded of the other fighting side par ticipating in the battle. From that we can form an idea of the sacrifice made by those on the fighting lines and estimate the cost of our liberty But i is well worth fighting for.

SAVING IS PATRIOTISM.

By the way, never mind the style; nobody cares, or should care hoot for style that cost money. Look ahead bit and see another Lib erty Loan acoming. Are you prepared to pur- chase few bonds? Have you an account in the bank that you can draw from and make loan to Uncle Sam whose sons are fighting your bat tie? If not we repeat. never mind the style. Make things over. They'll do for another season. The people are not looking for style, they are looking to see if you follow the flag to victory. Money spent on anything but essential comforts is waste and therefore in bad form and bad bus mess and shows the quality of citizens we arc. The government will soon need more money, and so will the Red Cross. Saving these days is un- a'uterated patriotism. Do you get that?
