Little New in Warfare.

The use Of a%sphyxiating gas is a
very ancient device. Smoking out the
enemy was n of the regular maneu-
vers Of wal in antiquity, says the Sci
entific Monthly. Polybius relates that
at the siege of Ambracia by the Ro-
mans under Marius Fulvius Nobilor
(B. G. 1897 the AetoliaRs filed jars
with feathers, which they set on fire,
blowing the smoke with bellows into
the faces of the Romans in the coun-
termines. At the great naval battle
fought in the waters of Ponza between
Alfonso Of Aragon and Genoa in 1435
the Genoese carried vessels filled with
quicklime and redhOt cinders, the
smoke from which was blown by the
wind against the enemy. Leonardo da
Vinci, who among his many other ac-
cOmplishments was a notable military
engineer, suggested the use of poison
u powders, such Is yellow arsenic
and verdigris, to be thrown from the
topmasts of ships so as to choke the
enemy. This formed a part of the
wal instructions given by Leonardo to
the republic of Venice in 1899, when
the Turks had passed the Isonzo and
threatened st. Marks.

DEATH FOLLOWS MODS
Body of Finn Found Hanging
After Being Tarred and
Feathered.
Gang T~errorists Took Him From
Rooming Place and He Was Not
Seen Until Corpse Was
Discovered.

A death has been the outgrowth of
mob vlle in Minnesota. State authori-
ties recently issued a statement mini
MIXING the reign of mob rule in that
state, by pointing out that there had
not been to that time any killings.
The death was that of Oil Kink-
konen, a Finn, at Duluth. He was
mobbed by a publicly organized mob
bling society which meets regularly
and publicly, and invites newspaper
reporters to give it's work publicity.
The name of the society is the knights
of Liberty.
Kinkkonen Is said to have failed to
take out second naturalization papers.
Because of that a mob of prominent
Duluth citizens went to his home, took
him from the city, mobbed him and
then returned to the city. They called
up the city editor Of a morning news
paper at Duluth to report the affair.
They said that they had tarred and
feathered the Finn and turned him
loose.
The Firms body was found hanging
from a tree. Newspapers and promi-
nent residents of Duluth said that
after he was tarred and feathered. he
returned to the scene Of the mobbing
and committed suicide there. No one
saw the Finn from the time he was
taken from his home by the mob, un-
til his body was cut down from the
pine tree on which it hung.

Protection for Birds.

Some twenty states Of the Union
have provided bird sanctuaries. or
laws for the protection of migratory
birds on their long flights in search
of feeding places. The matter has
even been made the subject Of an in
ternational treaty between the United
States and Canada affecting practi-
cally all birds that regularly migrate
between the two countries. The
treaty provides, in effect, that no bird
important to agriculture because of
Notwithstanding proclivities shall be
shot at any time. Second, that no
open game season on any species Of
game shall extend for q longer period
than 81 months. Third, that both
the countries shall 50 restrict open
seasons on game birds as to prevent
them from being taken during the
breeding seasOn +

Noah's Ark In China.

A curious Chinese picture is Of great
antiquity, and is supposed to repre-
sent Noah's ark on the top Of Mount
Ararat. As is well known. the re-
Igious literature Of almost every ma
ton and race contains an account Of a
delnge, but q Chinese manuscript re
Gently unearthed follows very closely
the story as recorded In the Bible.
1t Is particularly interesting in that
the roof Of the Chinese ark is Of the
gable variety associated with the
Noah's arks which prove such enter
tanning toys for our youngsters. The
Chinese picture, however, shows a dou-
ble-storied vessel, and, so far from
there being only one window in the
roof, there are windows in every pos
sible space. It would be interesting
II some Chinese scholar or antiquarian
could discover the exact date Of the
drawing.

TO FILL HOLES IN PLASTER
ths Best Backing That Can
Be Employed.

The electrician is frequently re-
quired, in the installation Of wires in
finished buildings, to cut holes here
and there through the plastered walls
or ceilings. Before these holes car be
replastered some sort of backing must
be put in which will take the place Of
the lath. The majority of men make
use of old rags or paper for this pur-
pose. Z
The writer, in replastering holes,
uses a backing Of ordinary wire screen.
The wire should be cut about one-quar-
ter inch larger than the hole to be
filled, and when pressed into it will be
found to make a good, stiff backing, as
the edges hold it firmly in place. Far
less plaster will be necessary with this
backing than with the others, which
will cover the cost of the wire screen,
and a more workmanlike and durable
job is obtained.-W. F. Perry, in Elec-
trio World.

W0MAN's SPHERE IN FRANCE
Her Influence 10 Probably Creates
Than In Any Other Country
Of the World.

The greatness Of France lies In her
sense Of the beauty and Importance
Of living. As life Is an art In France,
so woman Is an artist. She does not
teach man, but she inspires him. And
as the French woman Of the bread-win-
ming class influences her husband, and
he regards her judgment and her
wishes, the same is similarly true Of
the French IONA Of the rich and ed
ucated class, the French woman of
leisure. But In this world her influ-
ence naturally tends much farther.
The more civilized a society is the
wider is the range Of each woman's
influence yer men, and OF each mans
influence over women. Intelligent and
cultivated people Of either sex will not
limit themselves to cOmmuning with
their w households. Men and wom-
en- equally, when they have the range
Of interests that real cultivation gives,
need the stimulus of different points
of view, the refreshment Of new ideas
as well as of new faces.
No one who has seen French wOm-
en- a doubt that their great Influence
on French life, French thought, French
imagination and French sensibility Is
n of the strongest elements In the
attitude France holds before the
world today.-Ladies' Home Journal.

NO OBSTACLE DAUNTS RATS
Rodents In Norway, When Setting Out
to Exile, Have Never Been Known
to Turn Aside.

The rats Of Norway employ a re-
markable method to avoid a famine.
When starvation threatens, those that
are chosen for exile assemble in count
less thousands in the mountain valleys
leading to the plains and pour across
the country in a straight line, which Is
often more than a mile in length.
They devour every green thing in their
path, and the country through which
they pass looks as If it had been
plowed or burned with fire.
They march principally by night
and during the morning, resting In
the afternoon. No matter how album
dant the food may be in any pnrtiru-
lar locality they do not seek to settle
In it, for their destination Is the sea,
and nothing animate or inanimate, If It
can be ~surmounted, retards the ad-
vance.
Foxes, lynxes, weasels, kites and
owls hover on the rodents line Of
march and destroy them by the hum
dreds. The fish in the rivers and
lakes take their toll of them, too, but
the survivors press onward.

In the San Luis valley of Colorado
there Is an area from 100000 to $780,
600 acres which has almost completely
been deprived of fertility in a SEEM
ingly mysterious amer. This condi-
ton has been investigated by DR.. w. P.
Headden Of the Colorado agricultural
experiment station, and he attributes
this condition to the so-called "black
alkali," composed largely Of sodium
carbonate. This carbonate is carried
in the waters Of the valley, including
the rivers and the artesian wells, and
the practice Of subirrigation has
brought 1t to the surface by capillarity
and evaporation. Doctor Headden
suggests that the remedy lies in a
conversion of the carbonates into sui
pilates by the use Of q liberal amount
Of gypsum to one pound Of black al
kali-and downward washing by means
of surface irrigation with burrows or
by flooding.

Seattle Now Would Provide Place
Where Consumers and Producers
Come Closer Together.

In order to establish q store which
will provide a direct venue of mar.
keting between farmers and laborers
in the city, Carl e. Lunn, Seattle,
Wash, is in the Twin Cities. He is

labor unions. He is connected with
the Cooperative Wholesale Society of
America.
His plan contemplates the establish
ment of these stores in various cities,
to be owned jointly by farmers as
producers and laboring men as con-
sumers. He promises that such stores
can sell to consumer for less money
than demanded by the old profit-tak-
ing system, and at the same time pro-
vide better prices to the farmer
through elimination Of the unneces-
sary micdleman.

Hand SHAKING.

The practice Of clasping or joining
right hands as q pledge of sincerity
or as a seal of a promise is of very
early origin. The apostle Paul, in his
epistle to the Galatians, says: "And
when James, Cephas and John, who
seemed to be pillars, perceived the
grace that was given unto me, they
gave to me and to Barnabas the right
hands Of fellowship; that we should
60 unto the heathen." In this case.
evidently, a friendly agreement was
sealed by giving the right hands Of
fellowship. From this the custom Of
giving the right hand OF fellowship
upon suitable /. occasions spread
throughout Christend0m and Joining
right hands became Z part OF the
Christian marriage ceremony. The
custom q hand shaking certainly ex-
ktsA before Shakespeare's day. for 10

TWELVE DAYS UTTERLY LOST
Short Period In Which Ne Record q
American History Was Kept,
and the Reason.

Twelve days in the history Of Amer.
lea r blank, an exchange remarks.
If you should try to learn what hap
pened in the period between Septem-
Der 8 and September 13, 1852, you will
find no records, for those dates do not
exist. Under the old style calendar,
September 2. 1852, fell on Wednesday.
The next day the Gregorian or new
style calendar was adopted by Great
Britain and her American colonies, and
the date set forward to September IA.
Up. to this time the Julian calendar
had been followed by the English
speaking world. AS reformed by julius
Caesar in 46 B. G. 1t made the year
consist of 1865 days and six hours, with
an extra day added to February each
fourth year to account for the six
hours. This was the most accurate
calendar year yet devised, but 1t was
IL minutes and IA seconds longer than
the true solar year Of 1856 days, s hours,
4S minutes and 46 seconds, amounting
to a day in 1913 years.
Pope Gregory XIII corrected this
about 1882 by dropping ten days from
the calendar and ordaining that on the
one hundredth year in three out of
every four centuries the extra day for
leap year should not be counted. Six
teen hundred was a leap year and 1000
will be one, but 100, 1900 and 1900
were not. Even this calendar is SO
seconds too fast, amounting to q year
in 1898 years, so when 1000 comes
arouL . 1t will have to be 70 bed of It's
leap year day to correct this differ
ence.
The Gregorian calendar was adopted
in Catholic countries, including France,
Italy, Spain and Portugal, in 1882, and
within a short time by the Germans,
Swiss and Eungarians, but not until
1852 by England and her great colonial
empire.

enacted in several parts Of the nation.
It is a national tragedy because not
only are the individual farmers being
ruined, but the future food supply Of
the nation is cut down. At the pres
ent time, for instance, great numbers
Of immature and lean cattle from the
drouth are going into the
slaughter pens of the packing houses.
They are Cutting the market for live
stock, and spelling it for other stock
raisers. BY special government ef-
forts, on the other hand, to get feed at
fair prices to these drouth SECTORS and
by adequate special loans, all this live
stock waste and other waste could be
saved. -.
