Neutral Nation. In War TIms.

James Mill. the English economist.
as early as 1921. almost a century be-
.ore ruthless submarine warfare was
introduced by Germany, advocated a
commercial world traffic under free
tariff rules, so far as concerns the
property of individuals In time Of war.
In this way. he thought, an end would
be put to the difficulties and disputes
about the maritime traffic Of neutrals.
In advocating this principle he was of
the conviction that all nations gain
by the free operations Of commerce.
Mill was also of the opinion that what
justifies a nation to enter a war also
determines when war ought to
cease. He maintained that II the legit-
Innate object Of war is compensa.

ity against future injury, then sue

DID NOT INVENT TELESCOPE
But 0sliIeo Was the First to Perceive
lts Possibilities In the Study Of
Astronomy.

The name of the man who first
framed and used a telescope for the
observation Of the heavenly bodies is
Calico Galllei, though little known in
that form. 1t was this scientist. who
died January 8. 1912, who, 1t may be
said. first gave stability and force to
the theory which places the sun in the
center Of the planetary system. In
April or May, 1909. Calico heard at
Venice of a little tubular instrument
made by Hans Libbershey Of Middle
burg, which made distant objects ap-
pear nearer, and he Immediately ap-
piled himself to experimentation on the
means by which such an instrument
could be produced. Procuring couple

side, but one convex and the second
concave on the other side, and apply
ing his eye to the cOncave glass. he
found that objects were magnified
three times, and brought apparently
nearer. Soon after having made one
which could magnify $50 times, Cali
leo commenced observations on the sur
face Of the moon, which he discovered
to be irregular, like that of the earth.
and on Jupiter, which. in 1910. he as
certained to be attended by four
stars, as he called them. which after

Public opinion is very strongly
in favor of an early return of the
railroads to their owners, as
shown by the vote of nearly 5000
editors of daily and weekly news
papers thruout the country. A
QUESTIONABLE sent to every editor
in the country (13,424) brought
replies from 5,922, or Al per cent.
and 83 per cent of the editors re-
ported their communities in favor
of resumption of private man
agement. The questionable was
conducted on behalf of the Asso-
citation of Railway Executives, and
was completed before President
Wilson announced in his recent
message to Congress that the gov
ernment would relinquish control
of the railways at the end of the
year. Editors were asked not to
give their personal opinions, but
to appraise the sentiment in their
communities.

Towns and Their Trades.

Some towns are famous for the in
dustries they carry on, either because
they are favorably situated for their
work. or else because some leader Of
the industry has started a model fac
tory which has grown larger with the
lapse of time. Perth with its climate
especially suited for dyeing. and Bel
fast, with its linen manufacture, are
examples Of the former, while Port
Sunlight, famous the world over for
soap, and Saltaire, with its manufac-
ture Of mohair and alpaca. owe their
prosperity in each case to one man.
Keighley makes a speciality of textile
machinery and Brighouse Is said to
spin more silk waists than any town
In England, while the Rossendale val.
ley provided half the world with felt
slippers. Stapleford. in Cambridge.
makes a speciality Of parchment; Dav-
entry whips were once considered bet
ter than any, while Wymondham, in
Norfolk. was noted for its wooden

OBSERVE STARS IN DAYTIME.
II One 10 Sufficiently Interested They
Can Be Seen From Bot
tom Of Well.

Not only have the astronomers de-
vised means whereby they may OBJ
serve the stars in the daytime, but
anyone may, If he choose. see them at
such time II he will go to the trouble
to do SO. At the bottom Of a deep
well an observer on looking up will
see the stars IL the sky is clear and
the sun does not happen to be shining
directly into the well.
Why cannot the stars be seen from
the surface of the ground in the day
time? They certainly give forth their
usual amount of light. and 1t will be
remembered that the moon Is frequent
~ seen during the day.
The question resolves itself into the
capacity of the human eye. During
the day the sun shines on particles
suspended in the atmosphere itself,
and its rays are reflected in every
direction from the different particles.
We thus have diffused light by means
of which one can see objects not di-
reetly in the sunlight.
If 1t were not for this diffusion of
light, or irregular refraction, as 1t is
called we could not possibly see any
thing not in the direct sunlight. Now.
these rays irregularly reflected enter
the eye in enormous numbers, so the
Intensity is comparatively great with
starlight.
But to a person In a deep well or
mine shaft only the perpendicularly
reflected rays enter the eye, and from
only those particles directly over the
mouth of the shaft. Thus compara-
lively little light enters the eye, and
any starlight that comes down at that
time is easily perceived and the pres
ence of the star is recognized.

DON'T LIFT RABBITS BY EARS
Expert Condemns Practice Which Has
Always Been More or Less In
General Use. -,

Some people seem to think that be-
cause rabbits ears are so long 1t is
good reason to use them as handles.
They have told me that 'the mother
rabbit carries her young around by the
ears"
have had pretty good opportunity
to observe such a feat, but l have nev-
er seen such performance. 1t is all
right to hold them by the ears, but 1
always put my hand or arm under
their hind legs to lift them up, and
then know am not hurting them.
One popularity l have always no.
ticed about rabbits is their apparent
lack Of clear vision. If you will no.
tice their eyes you will see that they
scarcely. If ever, move the eyeball to
look up or down or at either side. as
cat does. You can't tell when they
nre looking directly a. you. as you can
with a cat.
II you throw a carrot to them they
will not sight it and go directly to 1t.
but will smell about with nose to the
ground till they find 1t, and they may
go six inches past 1t few times be-
fore they strike 1t.
Put rabbit on chair, table or box,
and he will go carefully to the edge,
leaning his head over and seemingly
wondering how far he is from the
ground, whereas cat would think
nothing of springing down from such
a hdght.-Boys' Life.

LUKE McLUKE SAYS

A man often forgets to come
around to settle when he forgets
losing bet. But he never for
gets to come around to collect
when he makes winning bet.
If a man were as dissatisfied
with himself as he is with other
folks, he would soon be wealthy.
Some of the roosters who crow
loudest when they are down town
with the boys are the. most hen
pecked when they are at home
with their wives.
Some darn fools imagine that
dignity means going around and
acting like butler in play.
Verify, a man is weak and prone
to fall. He rideth down town on
the water wagon in the morning.
and cometh back home in Tam
arack taxi in the evening.
A good many little men get away
with big bluffs because big man
knows there is no credit in whip
ping a shrimp.
Women are supposed to have
more sense than men. But man
never puts on his wife's hat when
he runs across the street to see a
neighbor.
You have probably been in en-
ough arguments to notice that a
man will make an affidavit to a
thing he wouldn't bet 10 cents on.
When mans doctor orders
him to quit smoking it is sign
that his wife will brag about how
her convincing arguments caused
him to give up the filthy habit.
Funny how wages are so high
when you want some work done
and how wages are so low when
you want to do some work.
And the betting is that a hero
would jump just as far as you
would if he stepped on a wooden
collar button with his bare foot
when he got up in the dark.
1t is easy to collect a fair-sized
library if you will remember to
let your friends buy to lend while
you borrow to keep.
