GREAT LAW MUST BE OBEYED
Mankind Helpless Before the IRE
sistible March of Progress
Known as Evolution.

The old sailing packet crawled
along, lacking and trimming, that its
yards of unfurled canvas might catch
the freshening winds. The skipper,
his leathern face scanned with the
heavy lines put there by years of buff
feting struggle with wind and wave.
watched. the great iengine-driven liner
race past him. -
A dark bitterness welled up in the
old sailing shippers heart. For that
engine-driven liner represented re-
lentless progress that would not be
stayed or denied 1t had driven most
of his kind from the face of the wa
tiers; it had made cargOes for the few
of his kind remaining difficult to OBJ
tain and obtainable only at rates that
meant at best only pittance.
On the bridge of thes steam-driven
liner the captain, as he gaZed at the
crawling old sailing packet, caught
the hum of a mighty motor overhead.
His glance turned from the miserable
old packet to the swiftly approaching
outlines of giant aircraft. 1t came
from behind and it passed the racing
liner even as the liner had passed the
packet. And in the heart of the liners
captain welled dark bitterness. For
he understood. The workings of the
Great Law were written clearly in the
air and sea before him. Even as the
day of the skipper of the sailing packet
had ended so his own day was nearing
its end A progress that would not
be stayed or denied was overtakinS
him and his kind.
There is sadness like unto no
other for they who watch and give
way before the changing eras, for they
represent life's helpless discard.

PUZZLE FOR LEARNED MEN
Figures of White Horses, Cut in Eng
Iish Cliffs, Have Never Been
Satisfactorily Explained.

Every now and then, naturally
enough, little wave of popular in
terest eddies around the mysterious
white horses cut in the hillsides In
various parts of southern England
Sometimes, owing to the encroaching
habits of the brush, the chalk which
constitutes the lines of the animals
fades from view and almost from
memory. This process had well-nigh
happened to the Westbury White
Horse at Brattan, Wiltshire, when
the clearing of the bushes laid.it bare,
and revived inquiries as to its origin
and solicitude for its preservation, as
well as for the upkeep of its various
counterparts elsewhere.
Well-known authorities have 1t that
the horse was cut out to commemorate
the victory of King Alfred over the
Danes at Etlandune, the site of which
is not far distant. Ellington, however,
has better specimen as white horses
60. though abnormally lean and
scraggy in proportions. In size 1t is
nearly $50 feet in length and the same
in breadth. 1t is mentioned in the
records of 1911 and was long the
scene of annual festivities known as
the SECURING" festival. The existence
Of these and the other white horses
with which may be included the Cerne
Abbas Giant and the Long Man at
Wilmington, have been the object OF
much learned and largely unfruitful
discussion.

YOUTH HAS MUSICAL GENIUS
Willy Ferrero, Is Years Old, and
American Born, Is Capable
Leader of Orchestra.

Willy Ferrero, Is. who leads 100
piece orchestras in selections of Wag-
ner. Beethoven. Rossini, Grieg and
others. is an American, and was born
i'm Portland. Me. The child has at
tracted the attention of Europe since
he was years old. but it was only
recently that his American birth was
revealed by his parents, who are
Italians.
The lad was taken to Italy whittier
his parents were returning TO take up
their residence in their old home in
Turin. When Willy was 4 he began
his musical career. leading an orches-
ira in the Folies Bergere in Paris. A
year later he appeared in the CoStanza
theater, Rome, where for the first time
he led an orchestra of 100 pieces.
The child took his orchestra before
Emperor Nicholas in 1913 and con-
Quoted two concerts for the monarch.
In the same year his orchestra was
filling an engagement in London, ana
he was commanded to appear before
Queen Alexandra at Marlborough
house. He appeared before Pope Ben
edict XIV in 1916. In April. 1919, just
before Italy's declaration of war, Willy

Proof That Seeds Breathe.

1t is easy to demonstrate that germ1-
mating seeds take in oxygen and give
out carbon dioxide, according to the
following experiment described in the
Scientific American:
A score or so of peas are placed In
a close-fitting Jar with small amount
of moisture. After while the peas
start to terminate, but soon they cease
all development, because the oxygen in
the lar is exhausted A single pea in
a lar of the same size, however. will
develop and grow up'into little plant.
There is evidently oxygen enough for
the needs of the single specimen.
To prove conclusively that there Is
no oxygen left in the jar in which the
number of seeds terminated it is only
needful to plunge in a burning match.
This instantly goes out. The presence
of carbon dioxide in this jar is clearly
shown by pouring into 1t lime water,
and then shaking. The lime water
becomes milky in appearance. rms
would not happen in a jar in which
there had been no terminating seeds.

ace Greeley one of the most famous

from George Saunders of Kentucky,
suggesting that Clay of Alabama and
Holcombe of Virginia, would, with

Paris, June 1.-THE Allied Govern
monts do not attempt to justify their
demand for the trial of the eX-Kaiser
and the surrender of the Germans ac-
'cuscd of violation of the laws OF war
ON any strictly legal grounds. This
accords with Secretary Lansing's view
expressed in this minority report as
member Of the Reparations Commits
sion of the Peace Conference, that in
order to justify the trial OF the ac-
cused Germans legally it would be
necessary to charge them with speci
fc crimes.
The Council of the Great Powers

national safety justified them estab-
fishing a new practice in dealing with

sponsible for causing the war They

Pergamum (Pergamos or Pergamon)
was the ancient capital of Mysia, in
Asia Minor. II was about three miles
north Of the Caucus river and fifteen
or twenty miles from the Aegean sea.
Under the Greek rule of Attalus ]
t241-197 b. c. IL became not only a
powerful city but also the center of
the artistic and literary life of Asia.
Attalus built many wonderful
temples, affairs and monuments that
attracted the attention Of the entire
world. His son Eumenes III 197-l59
b. CO. carried on the policy Of his IA
ther. He founded the famous Perga-
mum library, which contNned 100000
volumes. This library was later re-
moved 10 Egypt by Antony and pre-
scented by him to Cleopatra.
Attalus III beQueathed his treasures
and the kingdom of which Pergamum
was the capital to Rome. and so, ut
his death. in 1873 b. c., it became a
Roman province. This was the first
Roman province on Aslatic soil.
Carl Human, civil engineer, who
had Travelled in Asia Minor. induced
the Berlin museum to fit out an expe-
dltiOn to excayate for the hidden
treasures of ancient Pergamum. In
1885, at the close of the third cam

Come unearthed the great altar and

expeditions uncovered many treasures.
The great altar was shipped, piece
