IRREPARABLEL0Ss TO WORLD
Treasures Of Louvain Library, De-

Possibility Be Replaced.

The completeness with which the
famous library of LOuvain was de-
stroyed comes out in the report OF
the American committee which has
been visiting the ruin with view to
building a new library of Louvain,
which is to be the "free gift of the
United States" Some of the walls, pill
lars and buttresses remain standing,
and even retain their carvings and
sculptures, but the idea Of rebuilding
the library has been abandoned. or

nothing at all is left; the few volumes
that were found still retaining their.
shape crumbled when touched. Aside
from the thousands of volumes that
can be replaced the ruin contains the
ashes of at least thousand manu-
scripts that were priceless, because 1t
would be impossible to replace them.
There were, one may admit, more
widely important things in the world,
for example, than the two autograph
manuscripts Of Dionysius Carthusien-
sis, but Louvain was proud to possess
those specimens of his handwriting,
and all the wealth of the United
States cannot give them back.-Chris-

Don't Blame Mosquito.

We have lately been taught shat the
mosquito was the only dissemination OF
malaria and that we should be safe II
we should get rid of mosquitoes. f'''
Doctor Roux, farmerly chief physician
of the ST. Louis hospital ut I"rn>asen'
asserts as the result Of his own expert
ence of 20 years and that OF many
colonial physicians. that malaria often
exists where there are no mosquitoes
He points out that everywhere IN
malarial countries the disease breaks
out lust ut the time when the soil Is
broken for planting. He does not d"lS
that the anopheles mosquito SrrcHoS
malaria, but he says this is evidently
not the only means Of Infection.
The old theory that malaria was
caused by the bad air Of swampy dis
tricts or by certain CARNATIONS from
the soil may be correct after all.

GODDESS HAS MANY STATUES

Favorite With Sculptors.

The arrival at the Metropolitan Mu-

statues of Sekhmett or Nut, the an

chased in England in 1914, reminds
one of the beginnings Of modern inter-
est in archaeology, for the seven stat
ues, although their history over the
last century seems difficult to trace in
all it's details, were probably among
the earliest results Of Egyptian exca-

thing over thirty centuries ago Egyp-
tan sculptors were carving such stat
ues out of solid blocks OF black gran

then in 1850, as the record goes, an
Arab sheik working at the insi'gatioh
of Venetian priest, found statue
of Nut in the sand that had accumu-

INVENTOR MAKES WATER TALK
Continuance Known as "katie" 10
Hailed as 4 Most Valuable
Aid to NaviQators.

"Katie," one of the most wonderful
inventions exhibited at the recent
shipping engineering exhibition in
London, is likely to prove the most
valuable aid to sea captains and navi-
gators yet discovered. katie" is the
name given to the invention of an en-
gineer, by which lie makes water talk.
1t is an automatic float, with SEN
sitive depth-finding mechanism con-
nected telephonically, and is placed on
the surface Of the water. Another del
icate instrument rests on the bottom,
with Il wire connection. When an en-
gineer wants to know the depth Of
water at particular spot he rings up
katie" on the phone and she tells
him the exact depth.
She speaks in soft, jerky buzzes in
the manner of the Morse code, and
when she gets out Of her depth she
suffers. Ii the current is too strong
she becomes speechless. katie" will
also warn captain how much water
has got into the hold or the engine
room after collision.
The floating ships safe is another
wonderful invention. 1t automatically
casts itself adrift from a sinking ship,
and will send up a distress signal
every hour for twelve hours. A sound
signal is also given and it will burn
a light at night for three months.

Beliefs About Worlds End.

The Mol,ammetlans believe the time
of the end of the world to be Il per
feet secret to all save God alone: the
angel Gabriel himself acknowledged
his ignorance OH this point when Mo-
hammed asked him about it.
Christianity of Ill is the least Ger
tain about the precise time of tht
event. Jesus, telling his disciples Of
the precursory signs of the great ca
tastrophe, said: "verily, this genera
ton will not pass before my words
shall be accomplished" The first
Christians, accordingly. looked to i'm
mediate fultilmcnt of the prediction
and believed the end of the world
near at hand. Although the advent
failed to come TO pass. they claimed
to believe in its near realization. Still,
centuries followed centuries and the

CANADA INVADED BY EAGLE
Trip, and Was Easily Cap
tured; Given Name.

The American eagle recently spread
his wings majestically over Canadian
soil. The eagle-a real one by the
way-soared from somewhere and
landed in Sandwich, Ont. Whence he
came, nobody knows. But it was from
long way off, as he was manifestly
exhausted when he alighted on the
roof Of new house ut the corner Of
Lot and Peter streets. It was just
about noon, and children coming from
school espled him. says the Detroit
News.
The bird stayed on his perch for
some time, when the mob gathered be-
low. The eagle surveyed the crowd in
a bored manner during the nAnutes
when he was not engaged in searching
with his beak for something or things
under his feathers. The crowd be-
came larger and more threatening.
Finally one Drawer than the rest, evil
first stone.
The American eagle spread his wings
to their full extent and, waiting not
for the year of parley between disput-
ant nations, fluttered to the ground.
Down the streets Of Sandwich the
proud bird trotted with unhurrled
but dangerous steps. Through gaunt-
let of citizens he ran, Indian like, turn
ing his beak from right to left with
each new step to peck at some venture
some bystander or over-ardent pur-
suer. 1t looked for time as if the
bird would not be captured. But ne
finally came to man whose attitude
was not hostile. With scarcely
struggle the eagle gave in.
His captor was Clyde Thornton, 81
Peters street, an American citizen.
During the remainder Of the day the
Sandwich residents made tentative
peace offerings in the form OF pieces
of meat. The bird accepted them I'M
graciously.
His name is Roosevelt Thornton in
sistS.

Artist vs.. PHOTOGRAPHER.

Early in the submarine campaign,
one of our boats was given coat Of
camouflage, and when the vessel sailed
from it's pier in the North river, New
York, the owners sent photographer
two or three piers down the river to
photograph the ship as she went by.
He took the picture, writes A. Russell
Bond, in his Inventions of the Great
War;" but when the negative was de-
veloped, much to his establishment, he
found that the boat was not all on the
plate. In the finder of his camera, he
had mistaken heavy band OF black
paint for the stern of the ship, quite
overlooking the real stern, which was
painted a grayish white. The artist
had fooled the photographer and at a
distance of not more than 200 or 800
yards.

On the great main route between

to the fact that General Mangin has

MATURE NEVER IN A. HURRY
Taking Lesson From Wise Old Moth.
er, Man Will Learn to Curb His
' Foolish lmpatience.

We sometimes get impatient ut the
slowness Of world improvement. We
see the cruelties of great war, cruel
ties beyond belief, and we are sick at
heart to think the world is not In a
mood overnight to abolish war. We
see ignorance leading to poverty and
wretchedness and we. wonder that ed
ucation is not made universal at once.
We see preventable sickness produc-
ing disability and suffering and we
are hopeless at the slow dissemination
of modern medical knowledge and pre-
ventive measures.
And then it is borne in on us that
Nature never is in hurry. Out in
Colorado the Rocky mountains turn
a tumbling sea of peaks toward the
sky. Standing on the summit of Pixies
or Longs and looking off of that chaos
of rock one naturally thinks some
frightful CONFUSION Of Nature threw
up these mighty peaks.
But that thought is wrong. Geolo-
gists have learned that the mountain
ranges were slowly and imperceptibly
carved out by the action Of rain and
snow and frost and ice. First the
highlands slowly emerged from the
ocean. Then the rains and streams
and glaciers made gullies and left the
peaks. An observer returning at cen
fury intervals probably would have
seen slight change. But eventually
the work was done and the mountains
made.
That Is the way Nature operates.
Man can afford to curb his impatience.
