Music.

All true arts are expressive, but
they are adversely so. Take music; it
is without contradiction the most
penetrating, the profoundest the most
intimate art. EXTRAORDINARY
things are recOunted of the ancient
music. And it must not be believed
that the greatness Of effect supposes
here very complicated means. No.
The less noise music makes, the more
1t touches. Give some notes to Pergo-
lese, give him especially some pure
and sweet voices, and he returns a
celestial charm, bears you away into
infinite spaces, plunges you into in
effable reveries. The peculiar power
of music is to open to the imagina-
ton limitless career, to lend itself
with astonishing facility to all the
moods of each one, to arouse or calm.
with the sounds of the simplest mel
0dy, our accustomed sentiments. our
favOrite affections. In this respect.
music is without rival.-Victor Cou-

Not 4 Patriot

Let us never forget that we differ
from others just as much as they
differ from us. If, that is to say, there
is something about another nation
which we honestly do not like, or do
not understand. or something which
we even suspect, let us put it to our
selves quite fairly that in that very
case there is something about us which
people belonging to that nation with
equal honesty suspect, or do not like,
or do not understand. The other man,
or the other nation, has its own point
Of view. And a man is not patri-
ct, but a fool and mischieyous who
wants the whole world to. have his
own or his nations unqualified char
acteristics.- D. Hutton.

Metals That Call for Use.

Of the metals now known, more
than 50 in number. DR.. E. e. Slossons
notes that not one-half have come into
common use. The so-called rare elc-
ments are really, abundant enough,
considering the earth's crust as a
whole, though they are so thin, scat
tered that they are usually over
looked and hard to extract. But when
ever one of them proves valuable it is
soon found available. A systematic
search generally reveals it somewhere
in sufficient quantity to be worked,
Who, then, it is asked. will be the first
to discover use for indium. germa-
mum, terbium, thulium, lanthanium,
neodymium,' scandium, samaritan and
others as much unknown to us Of to-
day as tungsten was to our fathers.

LEFT RECORD As INVENTOR
English Marquis, Three Centuries Ago,
Had ideas for Projects at That
Time Undreamed Of.

One Of the most curious books in
English literature is that which bears
the title, "A Century of Inventions,
and whose author is Edward, marquis
of Worcester, who died April B. 1867.
The book appears to have been writ
ten - years before his death, and con.
sists Of hundreds Of descriptions Of
projects, none Of them, however, so
explicitly treated as to enable mod
ern adventurer to carry them out in
practice. %&$&
In this book are to be found meth.

inks Of peculiar nature; telegraphs
or senaphores, explosive projectiles
that would sink any ship, ships that
would resist any explosive projectiles
floating gardens, method of fixing
shifting sands, way to make a boat
work against wind and tide, and many
other curious contrivances.
Nothing came amiss to the mechah.

and during the war lie frightened away
a troop of Roundheads by display OF

REAL TURK NOT A BARTERER
Refuses to Go Out Of His Way e
Make a Sale, and Is Apt to \.
Ignore Strangers.

Love of baksheesh (gratuities) be-
trays the falsely named Turk. Eager.
ness to DO something for you or bust.
ness with you is another sign Of the
mOngrel Turk. Some real Anatolian
Turks are merchants and sit in the
bazaars. But they will not 60 out OF
their. way to make a sale and they
really do not care if you buy or not
Often they ignore strangers; some
times they rebuff them. When you
run up against this type in the
bazaars, where all the Jews and Cen
tiles are after your money with an
insistence that we call oriental, it Is
like dash of cold water in your face.
Once in little open shop saw a
rug that attracted me. I started to
enter. But the crouched figure on a
mat put out long-fingered left hand,
grasped firmly my ankle, and removed
my foot outside the threshold. ]

ton about which foot went first. SO

proved again it's strength. All the
while the merchant did not speak or
look up. His right hand was string
ing beads and he was smoking a
nargile. He simply didn't want to
bother with me, and my shoe told him
that was franga (European). Later
I got to know that old bird, and we
laughed over stories together. But he
never asked me to buy anything, and
l did not want to risk his friendship

There are other, things in life than
selling and buying. And much more
important! But the mongrel Turk
like the Christian, does not understand
this. It isn't in his blood.-Chicagt

Short Story Of Paper Maxine.

The art of making paper from null
berry bast is said to have been in
vented in China in the second century
b. C. Afterwards bamboo shoots,
straw, grass and other materials were
also used. The manufacture spread to
the adjacent countries. The Arabs
learned it in Samarkand. and their
learned men carefully kept the process
by which they made paper for their
own use. The crusades made Europe
acquainted with the art. and the frs;
paper mill dates from the twelfth cen
fury.

Especial to the Arizona Copper Camp
PHOENIX, July 17.-No small part
of the work of the Arizona state high
way department has to do with the
construction, maintenance and repair
of bridges, and because of the Pc
culiar freakishness of Arizona water
ways, the reconstruction of structures
which have been damaged by high
water constitutes by far the most in
tricate side of the work.
The newcomer to the state is often
puzzled to find such long bridges over
wastes of sand and gravel but with
out drop of water in sight for
months at a time. The bridge is
there for purpose and its extreme
length is necessary to meet the flood
conditions which may come once
year, once in five years, or decade,
as capricious Nature DEGREES.
A typical example in point is the
Aqua Fria river, a tributary to the
Salt, and the bridge at Coldwater on
the road from Phoenix to Buckeye
and the rich Buckeye valley district.
The work on this bridge was start
ed in 1915 and completed the follow
ing year. During the course of con-
struction the river. swollen by floods,
left the old channel and proceeded to
make new one a half mile west
Although only two spans had been
completed at the time, Engineer B.
M. Atwood under the direction of
Lamar Cobb, state engineer, decided
to finish the structure without refer
ence to the new channel, though it
was from three to four feet lower
than the old. The new channel was
crossed by an earth fill and this was
nearly complete when Governor Camp
bell took office for the first time
There was opposition on the part of
some persons served by the bridge,
but as the fill was practically COM
plete and the funds were practically
exhausted it was decided to finish
the work as originally planned.
