JELLYFISH'S STING NO JOKE
Pest Known as "Portuuuese Man-of-
War; ls preade Aby Bathers, for
Excellent Reasons.

The Jellyfish has long been the sub
Ject Of mirth and Jest, but at times II
Is aggressive and formidable, and Its
sting is a source of fear for bathers.
The sting Of tho southern Portuguese
jellyfsh, known technically as the No
meus, is very severe.
Jelly1sh are found I'm the trade
wind belts Of all oceans. Each Por-
tuguese "man-of-war," as the jellyflsh
Is sometimes known, is made up OF A
number Of small animals of the Jelly
fish order, which have In common an
iridescent cOlored, bubble-llke float,
about the size Of mans hand, which
rests on the surface of the water A
fin or sail enables the float to make
Roadway across the wind, rather than
with 1t. The Jellyfish has long paper
like tentacles, and these are equipped
with the stings. When they brush
against bathers they burn and leave
red welts that itch and burn for hours,
and should two or three pass over a
mans arm ut once, they would almost
paralyze 1t. Some years ago scientists
discovered little man-of-war fish that
accompanies the man-of-war Jellyflsh.
II swims around the float until danger
threatens, when It snealks underneath
and Is safe from harm under the pro-
lection Of the jellyfsh's tentacles.

Possible Cause Of Fever.

The Medical Journal asks II "all fe-
yer, or at least large proportion Of
II, may not be due to some change in
the fluids Of the body which prevents
water from being available as persplr-
alton which by its evaporation serves
to keep the body cool"
It may be that the practice Of max
ing a fever patient perspire freely has
another purpose than the washing out
Of impurities from the blood. this be-
Ing an actual cooling by evaporation.
IAN abundance Of water has been
found beneficial in fevers, and there
are many cllniclans who are decidedly
Of the opinion that cold-water baths
have much more than merely direct
and mechanical refrigeratlng purpose,
for they are followed by rather free
dIuresls and often also by perspira-
ton. Indeed, one Of the great Indlca-
tons for bath in fever Is that the
skin IL dry and hot for Il Is under
these circumstances that the bath will
do much good"

PEARLS FAMOUS IN HISTORY
Romance Surrounding Them Tran
sends That Of Any Other Of the
Worlds PrIxed Gems.

What unbelievable romance there is
in the lives Of certain pearls, passion
ately admired. desired, awaited, stolen,
sold as beautiful slaves, then returned
again to their glory in the oriental
luxury Of n diadem or on the neck Of
an empress Reflect upon those which
were enshrouded thousands OF years
ago in the jade casket of some Chi
nese emperor, and which, suddenly ex-
humed. find new life In rejecting the
sky Others, in Greece, have adorned
the statues of Venus in the temples
or, at Rome, after the conquest Of the
East, have received imperial honors.
The patrician women, NJ. Rosenthal re-
minds us, decked themselves with
pearls during their slumbers to possess
them in their dreams, and they sus-
pended them by threes from their ears
that the tinkling Of the pendants
might remind them Of their beauty
which they could not see.
There was that pearl Of a million
which julius Caesar offered to Ser
villa, mother of Brutus. There were.
In our history. the pearls Of Isabel de
Baviere, Of Mary Stuart, the gift Of
Catherine de Medici, and those Of
Henry III. Pearls were present at
dramatic moments. concerning which
they tell us with more impressive ex-
actness than the historians Of the
time; and you can imagine all that the
gems which adorn the portraits of the
Florentine Renaissance must know Of
the tragic intimacies Of that sensuous
sixteenth century, so gorgeous and
murderous. One pearl once had IA
nous name, the name Of courtesan.
II was called La Perigrina (The In
comparable). It belonged to King
Philip II Of Spain, and Saint-Slmon
(the hlstorian) felt himself glorifed
from having once held 1t, for an in

GRANTED BENEFIT OF ORDEAL
Native African Accused Of Wltchcraft
Not Condemned Before Given So
Called "Trlal."

A clear distinction must be made be.
tween fetish and witchcraft, says a
writer In the Wide World Magazine.
The former is regarded by the black
man as perfectly legitimate; the lat
ter he looks upon with hatred, and all
over Africa summary methods are
used, as In olden days In England, with
witches.
One or other Of the law-god-cult so
cleties-those secret societies bearing
such names as Purroh, Oru, Egbo, Tx
ukiwe, etc.-intervenes, and trial by
ordeal follows. In fact, anyone can
claim that right. A says to b: "You're
n witch" "I'm mott calculates B,
who Immediately takes calabar bean
and swallows It. b dies, or is very
sick; therefore he Is the guilty per
son, and this long before the elaborate
mechanism Of the law society has
heard Of the dispute.
II b wants to have a big palaver,
and run himself and his accuser into
a lot Of expense, he has n right to call
in the aid Of the society; but he
needn't.
Witchcraft is a dangerous word to
use In an African village. Miss Kings
ley relates that you have only to shout
"Ifot" at a man or woman In Calabar,
or "Ndo tchi' in FjOrtlnnd, and the
whole population, so good-tempered
the moment before, is turned blood
thirsty. But, mind you. the ordeal
must prove the guilt first, before the
witch is literally torn to pieces.

This papers discussion of the ques-
ton of Sunday sport and observance,

ject is taking root. But there must be
others who have opinions worth pub
fishing. If so send them along to the
editor. The question of laws gov
erning our Sabbath will most assur-
eddy come up at the next session of
the legislature. One of the funda-
mental questions is whetherwe irdivid-
ually, and all the people, have relig-
ious duty to perform, or not? If we
have, is not fairly good old-fashion-
ed Sunday observance more likely
method of aiding toward the duty,
than an open Sunday? If there is
still a creative God, and Savior, has
man any duty to perform toward his
creator, or his Savior, and if he has
is a Sunday in which one is given a

Figured on the cost basis, c. S
Emery led all the other candidates by
wide margins in the votes received
for the money expended. According
to campaign expenses filed and official
returns of the vote, Emery's votes
cost him Il cents each, Agan's 4O
cents, Rabbits go cents and
Hartness' $1.60, for every vote
he received. This last figure is
Just about the per capita amount Cox
SAYS the Republicans in the nation
planned to spend; which charge the
Republicans hasten to deny and de-
nounce. 1t is wrong principle that
allows a man to spend $4,000 for
job which pays $4,000 in salary for
the entire term of office. Hardness is
a splendid man, but the plan and prIn-
ciple upon which he is being made
governor is wrong.

Vermont Dry, Four to One.
bellows Falls Timesl

Last weeks primary clearly demon
strated that the people of Vermont
are not opposed to the 18th amend
ment and are not opposed to the Vol
stead act All opposition to either of
these measures was buried deep.
There are in Vermont about $4,000
votes which can always be corraled
for any candidate labelled wet. Gle
ment got them two years ago and
Agan this year. The opposition to
this combination has at least four
times as many votes. Hardness and
Emery were absolutely dry and their
combined vote was three times that
of Agan. Babbitt's plank for modi-
fication of the Volstead act under the
circumstances as they developed did
not help him. Gibson also wanted the
Volstead act liberalized and Gordon
was not opposed, yet Dale. dry as a
pine chip, trimmed them both good
and plenty. There is no escaping the
conclusion that the people of Vermont
are four to one for both the amend
ment and the act that limits alcohol in
beverage to one-haf per cent.
