DISlLLUSIONED

These words summarize the report
brought back from Russia-not by a
czarist refugee. not by an opponent
Of Soyietism. not by former landed
proprietor but by the commission of
Socialist representatives from Italy
which recently visited Russia to see
for themselves what BoIsheyism has
done.
II is not q new report--other COM
petent observers have brought out
the same infornlation-b but coming. as
ii does. upon the heels of the report
of the British Socialists and the Ger
man Socialists--ail substantially
agreeing that Sovietism is failure
in the elem entary duty of providing
the population under its control with
the common decencies of life-it is
the more impressive.
These German, British and Italian
Socialists went TO Russia preiudiced,
II anything, in favor Of the Russian
regime. They have come back dis
illusioned- They still sympathize with
the Russian revolution: they are still
opposed to the allied blockades and
warfare upon Russia: they are still
ready to do all in their power to com
pei their own governments to make
peace with Russia, but they are hon
est enough and courageous enough
TO tell the truth about economic con-
ditions In Russia, and TO warn their
fellow eountrymen, and especially
their fellow Socialists against trying

EGYPT: A DIAMOND MINE
OF HISTORY

Egypt annually supplies the world
with a precious product, an increasing
knowledge of the early life story of
the human race. In the wonderful
record of exploration which has re-
stored to us the civilization of the
great pre-classical nations, there is no
more remarkable chapter than that
which tells of the resurrection of an
cient Egypt. A communication to the
National Geographic society by James
Baikie, says:
"The science of Egyptology, which
is slowly and patiently reconstructing
for us the ordered history Of the 5000
years before Christ, enabling us to see
the types of men, the manner Of life,
the forms of government, the religious
customs and beliefs of period after
period, from the very dawn of Egypt
ian nationality, is specifically growth
Of our own time.
1--WE owe the framework into which
we try to fit the facts of Egyptian his
tory to the ancient historian, Manetho,
scattered fragments of whose history
of Egypt, dating from the reign of
Ptolemy Philadelphus, in the third cen
tury B. c., have come down to US in
the works of various ancient authors.
He recognized 80 dynasties of Egyp-
tian monarchs, and he left lists of the
names of the kings in each Of these
dynasties, together with occasional
po%oc ,,ro,1 mo ftor,r of historical infer.
est in particular reigns.

KIPLING SETTING NOW
NEWS BACKGROUND

The Simla Hills of Kipling fame and
the interesting Punjab country again
were brought to public attention this
year by reports of riots among nations
who had been aroused by the rumored
destruction of the golden temple OF
Amritsar, a principal city of this pro-
vince.
Punjab is a Persian word meaning
five waters" and refers to an area
in India, about the size of Oregon. be-
tween the Jhelam and the Sutlei,
drained by three intermediate streams
These rivers empty into the Indus,
which forms the western boundary Of
the state.
Situated at the northwest gateway
of India, the Punjab has for ages been
the Belgium of most of the military
expeditions from the west and the trail
of many migrations. For this reason
its peoples : Mohammedans, Sikhs,
all belonging to the tall, fair Indo-
Aryan stock-are not SO sluggish in
temperament and ways of living as
those in other parts of the country,
and many of them manifest a martial
spirit upon small provocation. Eng
land counted them among her most
valued soldiers on the western front.
The vast plain of the Punjab is
about one thousand feet above sea
level and on the north runs into the
"Abode of Snow" the Himalaya noun
tains. At the southwestern end of
the watershed stands Simla, and from
it the mountains drop rapidly to the
foothills and then to the plain. Jakko

ALASKA APPEALS TO YOUTH
Newspaper in Great Northern Terri
tory Promises Fortune to the
Young and Adventurous.

The sage advice of Greeley was new
er more applicable than it is today in
Alaska, observes the Alaska Capital
What the country needs is the op-
timism of youth, coupled with an ad-
herence to the advice of Doctor KIl.dr
of Trinity college, North Carolina.
when he said: young men, the sages
will tell you to be prudent; prudence
belongs to the daring of youtli-the
spirit of adventure that will develop
individuality"
Reduce this philosophy to Alaskan
terms. and we find that the territory
just now needs youth to finish the
structure upon the foundation laid by
those wonderful pioneers whom We
reverence and admire. The raw ma
terials are here, materially and ethicaI--

generation succeeding the pioneers 10

BALL PLAYED BY PRISONERS
Eastern Penitentiaries Have Teams
That Put Up Good Exhibitions
of the National Game.

Many prisons and penitentiaries have
baseball teams composed of inmates,
and the national sport has done much
to revive the health and spirits of
prisoners. These baseball teams are
uniformed and play regular schedule
of games, but of necessity these games
are always played on the prison home
grounds.
One of the best known prison teams
is that of Sing Sing. 1t is known as
the Mutual Welfare league team, and.
last season it won more than 90 per
cent of games played with visiting
mines. The prison baseball field has
splendidly graded surface, and there
are bleachers for spectators. The team
plays Saturday and Sunday after
moons. Visiting teams come from New
Jersey and Connecticut. The prison
team has won from some of the best
semi-professional mines in these states.
The Eastern penitentiary in Philadel-
phia has long maintained a baseball
team. and has developed many good
players.

THE EVOLUTION OF FIRE
FIGHTING

The passing of the fire horses from
Manhattan island and the installation
Of a high-pressure water system in
Boston to eliminate even the fire en-
gine are further steps In the stage Of
progress from the romantic days of
the picturesque old hand tubs. Older
folk may remember when citizens
tricked themselves out in red shirts
and glazed caps and carried torches
in the front Of procession, or formed
part of the bodyguard of the gallant
old tub as it paraded the streets on a
gala occasion. Then passion for fire
fighting ran to a high pitch and argu-
ments were waged about the merits of
particular engines. Today the throbs
of motor-driven engine are taking
the place of those heart throbs. The
horses that might have clattered from
their stalls, glided beneath their har-
ness, and raced gloriously through the
drizzly, night-darkened streets before
the fire-spitting demon, are drawing
farm wagons or blowing the field.
In by-gone days communities were
dependent upon volunteers. and men
from all social ranks gave valuable
time to qualify for the service.
Fire fighting in some SORT of organ
lied form is ancient. Machines for
throwing water from a distance were
known, according to our first clear evil
dence, in the second century before
Christ. Heron of Alexandria, 200
4 L,icf in,
old manuscript which has escaped de-
struction, described a hydraulic ma
chine used in Egypt during the time
Of the Ptolemies. It was composed of
two brass cylinders resting on wood
en- base with pistons fitted into them
in its principles practically like our
present engine. Like most other
knowledge, this was lost in the dark
ages which followed.
The Romans had squads Of men
| to carry water in "hamae," or li"Ht
vases, to the scene of an outt
where it was projected onto the
| by those in charge of the 'siphones
or hand pumps. The precise nature
| of this instrument has not been deter
mined, but from specimens found in
excavations it must have been much
like the old-fashioned syringe used by
gardeners. These large organizations
| of men gave the Roman authorities
trouble by their turbulence. Trajan,
| the Roman emperor, and Pliny, at that
time one of his governors, had long
and serious correspondence over the
advisability Of organizing fire depart
ments in the cities under Pliny's juris-
diction, leading to the conclusion that
such groups would attain sufficient
strength to be a menace to the gov
ernment.
Mention is made of the medieval
use of forcing pumps on fire engines
at Augsburg in 1913. England and
the countries of the continent were
using hand squirts and syringes at
this time. America took her ideas
from the English.

neyB to see IL they were all right,
bearing grown person who had come
to see a friend who was i'll.
she had bought herself a great
bunch Of flowers to wear, and she
brought the person who was I'LL a few
ha1f-faded flowers, which she bought
at a very cheap price because they
were faded.
And she had said that bunch she
had bought herself had been so beau
tfful and sweet to look at she couldn't
resist IT
yet she had been able to resist
something nice for her friend.
@She had been a child once, and
when she was a child she had tried
TO look at the back of presents which
her friends sent her to see how much
they had cost, and she still did that
now.
~And she had always wanted the
bigger piece herself. Well, 1 hadn't
seen her since she had been a child
when I saw this thing happening about
the flowers and heard the talk from
chimney where I was. I was see
ing II the chimneys were in good con-
dation for Christmas Eve, as 1 said.
rWeIl, she was one Of the few chill
drem ever knew like that, and 1 can
ten you she was unhappy. No one
likes her, for she Is 80 selfish, and she
hasn't any fun, for she is so anxious
to see what things cost that she can't
get any pleasure out Of the things
themselves
Il heard her say, too, that she
thought Christmas was a great nui-
sance. when a person was grown-up,
for OF course Santa Claus only had
the time to think Of children. Imag-
fne anyone thinking Christmas was
nuisance.
NBut while one comes across this
sort OF thing once in a while" Santa
Claus continued, "it does my heart
good to see that each year there is
more and more happfness'hnd Joy over
Christmas. and that the children are
getting nicer and pieer and that
they have such g1oriously generous
natures. n.
And you know, reindeer, old Santa
Claus likes natures that are generous"
The reindeer snorted again and
said: I'VE wish you merry Christ
hnas. Santa. We haven't had a chance
before, but we want to do It now, for
ii is your day, Christmas day, dear
&antst And we are glad that each
ysar your day is more and more full
OF joy"

sANTA's DAY.

It was early Christmas morning and
Santa Claus was on his way home.
He had had buster Christmas time
than ever. He had visited the shops
and had taken some of the toys he
had lent to them to decorate their
windows and counters with. And he
had been to every home where there
was a child.
The reindeer weren't hurrying so
fast now. Santa was talking half to
them and half to himself.
"Oh, my Beauties" he said, "what
time 1t was. And never, never have
seen so many and such beautiful chill
dren.
The reindeer looked at each other
and smiled, for Santa Claus hGd said
that very same thing every single year
that they could remember, and they
remembered good many years.
"Yes," Santa continued, 'they were
beautiful. There were girls with gold
en- hair and girls with brown hair and
girls with black hair and girls with
hair In curls. Some had their hair
done up so it would be curly today,
and some had their hair in braids,
and some Of them had their hair cut
OF short.
"There were such handsome boys,
too. Oh, they were so good-looking,
such manly little chaps.
I've never seen so many fine boys"
said Santa Claus.
And once more the reindeer smiled
at each other, for they remembered
that Santa Claus had said this very
same thing, too, every single Christmas
'They were the sort who wouldn't
bully and do mean little things. They
were the sort who wouldn't attack a
creature younger, smaller or more
helpless than themselves. They were
fine, perfectly fine. It was all could
do to keep from shouting: Three
cheers; what a splendid lot Of boys
and girlsr as I went from house to
house.

Metal Heavier THANH Gold

Anybody who has been allowed to
handle q gold brick, perhaps on the
occasion of a visit to the mint, must
have been astonished to find how
heavy it was. Gold is, in fact, twice
as heavy as lead. Yet it is not the
heaviest of metals. That rank is held
by osmium, which is one-sixth heavier
than gold. At the other end OF the
scale of weights we have lithium,
which is so light that it will float on

THE NEWLY MARRIED.

Nothing is to me more distasteful
than that entire complacency and sat
isfaction which beam in the coun-
tenances of a newly married couple
in that of the lady particularly; it
tells you that her lot is disposed of
in this world; that you can have no
hopes of her. 1t is true have none,
nor wishes either, perhaps, but this
is one Of those truths which ought,
