Japan Gets Everything.

Japan is given everything Ger

Although China has the best title
to these rights which are all on
Chinese territory. not word is said
In the draft clauses as to what rights
China may expect to record for her
self 1t Is entirely with Japan to say
what she will be pleased to return to
China and what she will retain for
her own enjoyment
"The important fact seems to be
altogether ignored that Shantung is
Chinese province, the territory of a
partner in the war on the side of the
allies and the associated powers.
Using Tao railway was built with
Chinese and German private capital
and the line Of $50 miles Is entirely
in Chinese territory. To substitute
Japan for Germany's rights in this
territory, is to greatly endanger the
welfare and security OF the Chinese
republic, because Japan is much
nearer to China than Germany and
because she already claims sphere
OF influence in Manchuria close to
the north of Shantung.
The more the Chinese delegates
study the proposed settlement the less
they understand its meaning and pur-
pose and the more they feel aggrieved.
It will be difficult to explain to the
Chinese people what the peace con-
ference really means by Justice"

MARK TWAIN TURNED DOWN"
Popular Writer'S Report on citys
Religious Condition Failed to
Appear in Print.

When Mark Twain was reporter
or the Virginia City Enterprise he was
given an assignment to report the con-
dition of the churches in Gold Hill.
The next day he turned in the follow
ing, which the managing editor de-
clined to print:
"Your reporter had some difficulty
in securing an interview with the pas
tor of the Baptist church. He found
him pushing an OK cart on the dump
pile of the Overman mine. He said
that he was doing this not merely for
exercise but for $3.50 a day. He said
that his clerical salary was nominaily
$50 per month, but the irregularlty
with which it was not paid was very
distressing. The butcher, he said,
had been very kind to him, but his
patience had limits, and lately when
called upon for beefsteak ne had,
in an absent-minded way, cut off
piece of liver. His congregation had
dwindled to IA hearers, and the col
lection for the previous Sabbath
amounted to but 40 cents. He had
made one convert, but had been un-
able to baptize him, for the water
company had refused to supply the
water except for cash in advance.

Twain, ''the condition Of the cause OF
religion in Gold Hill seems to leave

Pols0Ns IN COMMON SALT
Deadly Chemical Elements, When
United, Form Substance Beneficial
to All Animal Life.

When q native Of the savage tribes
of Africa happens to find piece OF
rock salt he considers himself most
fortunate. Often he will invite his
friends to party and serve this piece
of salt as the refreshments. The
guests seat themselves in a circle and
take their turns at licking the choice
bit, passing it around in much the
same manner as the Indians pass
around their pipe of peace. Salt
seems 10 be necessary for most forms
of animal life. Cattle will travel for
miles just to get taste Of it.
Few persons realize when eating
this substance that it is composed OF
two deadly poiSonS. the metal sodium
and the gas chlorine. Sodium is one
of the most active metals, while chlor-
inc is gas dangerous to breathe even
in small quantities. If a piece of So
dium is placed on water it will react
violently. For this reason it is al
ways kept under kerosene to keep it
from reacting with the moisture IN the
air, and it is always handled with
tweezerS, as it will cause severe burn
if allowed to touch the skin. eSpe-
cially if the hands are damp. The pol
sonous nature of chlorine is generally
known, as it was one of the first dead'
ly gases used by the Germans during
the world war.
When these two chemical elements
unite each loses it's poisonous nature
and the salt which is formed is an
entirely new substance, having none
of the properties of either sodium or
chlorine. Nevertheless salt is COM
posed Of two deadly poisons, but chem
icaHy combined we eat it every day.

RECALLS0LD ROME
Ancient Coin of Surprising His
toric Interest.
Two Thousand Years Since II Came
From the Mint, What Story Of
Adventures This Token
Could Tell!

A coin 1900 years old, which may
have .reposed in the treasure box OF
q Roman senator. passed from hand
to hand in the dice games of members
of the Roman imperial guard, been
tossed to the rahble by patrician as
he passed through the streets on his
way to the baths, or thrown to a
victorious gladiator by one of the YES
tai virgins, now is in the possession
of Arthur S. Hibler, United States inn
migrant inspector at New Orleans. On
it's way to Mexico, where it was OBJ
tained by it's present owner, the coin
may have been carried as a keepsake
by one of the Spanish conquerors and
exchanged for the gold and jewels
of the Aztecs. Two thousand years
afford ample time to pass through q
few adventures.
The coin is valued by Mr.. Hibler,
, not only for its age. but for the queer
history attached to his gaining pos
session of it. While he claims he is
not superstitious, he admits he regards
the coin as good luck talisman. The
piece was sold to him by Mexican,
who wished to cross the border at
Brownsville, Tex, and had not enough
money for his toll. To pay his way
across the international bridge he Of
fered the coin with several others to
Mr.. Hibler, asserting that it had
strange significance and blessing at
tached to it. 1t had been given him,
he said, by the mother of member
Of Villas band, who had been muir
dered in a cafe brawl. As he lay dy-
ing, ,he had begged the man to take
a handkerchief, stained with his life
blood, to his mother. The Mexican
had sworn to fulfill the trust. and
delivered the handkerchief to the old
woman. She opened the corner OF the
handkerchief. which was knotted
tightly. and took out several coins.
Then she retired into an inner room
and, returned, placed small silvery
disk in the messengers hand. saying
it was talisman that would mean
much to it's. possessor.
The coin is small and white, re-
sembling modern United States dime
in size and color. On its front is
relief of Roman emperor, with the
inscription: "Domitian VIII, Imp.
Caesar" and several other characters
which are> indistinguishable. On the
reverse side is what seems to be re-
production of the temple erected in
Jerusalem by Solomon. 1t is worn
thin by the touch of the millions OF
hands in which it must have 'ested.
81 have no doubt that it IS genuine"
Mr.. Hibler said. "But how did 1t
