CRETE ONCE A GREAT POWER
Mistress of the Sea When King Minos
Ruled-Remar<able Laws Under
Which People Lived.

Minos, king of Crete exercised a
preponderating power on the sea he
drove ont the barbarous Carians from
the Cyclades, and extermlnated piracy
which among the Greeks had been
openly professed: he kept the people
of the coasts in awe of him. and at
the same time forced them TO pay him
tribute.
Crete was advantageously situated
to become mistress of the sea, hut at
length confederacy arose which put
an end to her dominion. Mlnos wish
ed to render the Cretans mild and
gentle In their manners. To attain
this object he allowed free indul-
gence, Plato says. 10 lieentious excess.
even Of the most flagitious kind. hop
ing that the refinements of gal
lantry would mitigate the native
ferocity of his subjects.
AS individuals the Cretans pos
sessed eminent skill In military af-
fairs. while the laws which they
adopted prevented the state from un-
dertaiIing any great enterprise abroad.
They elected ten cosmos, or regulators,
to govern In peace and war. and when
the period of their office was COM
pleted they remained members of the
legislature. The judges were all men
of advanced age. and young men were
never allowed to propose change In
the law. and all proposals were made
in the senate, and secretly. Slaves
titled the soil. and the citizens ate to-
gether In public companies, while the
country was divided into twelve por-
tons for agriculture and business.

Charge for Fuse Replacement.

Ii has been the general custom
among the electrical companies of this
country to make free replacement of
the fuses which are blown out from
time to time but there is now a gen
eral tendency amang these corpora
tons 10 make charge for this serv-
ice. II is necessary to have men ready
at all hours. especially al night, to
answer calls so that the service may
be restored with the least possible de-
lay and the expense of this has been
found to be burden>which II is now
proposed TO relieve themselves of by
making a charge. Some companies
which hesitate to take this step are
urging their patrons to lay In a sup
ply of fuses which are sold by the
company at cost and in case Ola blow
out they can make the renewal them
selves.-Exchange

Forest Fires.

Forest fires in mountainous coun-
try are found to be much more num-
erous and destructive on south
stones than on north, according to
the findings of a government investi-
gator who has made an extensive
study of the subject. While the diff
ference is not marked at the height
of the fire season, the early and late
fires favor TIM sunny side so strongly
as to have decided effect upon the
average figures for period of years.
The explanation offered is that the
growth of undprbrush is much heavier
on the south side. encouraging the
spread of fire. while the north slopes
hold more moisture.-Popular Me-

Beneficial Gaseous Acids.

Breathing small quantities of such
gaseous acids as hydrochloric, hydro
iuoric, sulphurous, formic, and acetic
has been found to be not only harmless
but actually beneficial in diseases of
the air passages. The inhalations
were continued two hours or more
daily, the amount, however, not ex-
ceeding one to three grains per cubic
yard of air. 1t is claimed that the
acid prevents the development of
harmful organisms and acts curatively
by stimulating local blood flow and
possibly an increased aikalinity of the
blood. Workers exposed to acid fumes
in various industries came under OBJ

siqns Of CONSUMPTION.

What are the early symptoms? The
patient may have neither cough nor
expectoration. He feels tired in the
afternoon, and wakes tired in the
morning. His appetite is poor, and
he begins to lose weight or to stop
growing. He is easily exhausted after
exercise. Anyone who notices these
symptoms in himself should consult a
doctor. In any family, rich or poor,
in which one member is known to have
consumption, all the others should be
examined by specialists.
