GASOLINE TURNS THE EARTH
Motorboats Are Replacing Gondolas in
Venice, and Even the Windmilis
in Holland Disappear.

NIotorboats in Venice replacing the
gorllolas are not the only mechanical
proclamation that is coming in to disap-
point future American travellers in Eu-
rope. A letter from Amsterdam tells
us that the Dutch windmills are being
replaced by mills operated by steam
and electric power. Every year some
of the old windmills are burned, and
they are not re-erected. Time may
come when a few Windmills will be
treasured as<relics in Holland; just as
similar structures are still preserved
on Aquitlneck and Nantucket islands
for their curious interest. sRys the
Boston Transcript. Already windmills
of American construction, with steel
fans arranged in wheels. instead OF
tie picturesque old wooden arms had
begun to make their appearance, even
in Holland. The metallic windmill
with the revolving wheel. is more pic
tllresque than the ordinary steam Or
water power mill, but it is not so pic
turesoue as the old wooden affairs.
On our western prairies and plains the
taH winGmills, with their big metal
wheels spinning high in the air, are
indeed a fine feature in the monot-
onous landscape, but even they are IN
danger OF yielding to the process OF
pumping water by means OF gasoline
motors. The power of the wind, TO
be- sure, costs nothing, while that OF
the gasoline motor may cost Sood
deal, but there are times when no
wind blows, and the householder tires
of waiting for it to rise. Less ana
less we are content to attend upon
forces OF nature The beautiful sails
are vanishing from the seas, to he re-
placed by belching HmOkeStacks. ON
land windmills give place to structures
operated by steam and electricity. The
stalwart oxen are no longer seen at
the farmers plow; it is, gasoline that
turns the earth now. IomeWard the
unweary motor harks its way!

TO PRISON FOR WITCHCRAFT
Canadian Authorities Revive Ancient
Statute That Will Appear Absurd to
Modern Understanding.

1t has been a little more than 2oo
years since anyone was convicted OF
witchcraft on this continent, says the
Columbus Dispatch, and we supposed
that there would never again be any
more convictions. But it seems that
such prosecutions have been revived,
for here comes a report from a Cana
dian court to the effect that a young
woman over there has lately been SEN
fenced to prison for ''practicing witch
craft" for all the world like the ac-
cusations that used to be filed against
people, in this country. ..~
The young woman in this case
claimed to be able TO tell who commit
ted q certain theft in her neighborhood.
She said Il farmers oats had been
stolen by man and Il boy; that they
drove q bay mare, and proceeded west
ward after the robbery, and that they
would he found at certain place,
about 40 miles away. The officers
found her story to be true and ar
rested the parties who robbed the
farmer but as the young woman who
gave the information was in no po-
Sition to know the facts she related
except through communing with "the
spirits" people began talking about
her being witch, with the result that
an ancient statute was invoked and.
the girl prosecuted and sent to Jail
for her pains in aiding the officers of
the law. If it were not all duly record
ed in the newspapers we could not be-
lieve 1t.

Resourceful PreVaricator.

A Lancashire man, who was afraid
of his wife, arranged to go TO the races
with some friends, and explained to
her that he was going fishing. On his
way lie called ut fish shop and asked
the proprietor to send some fish home.
Fish was very scarce that day, and a
lot of Gods heads were delivered. When
hubby returned home. after an enjoy
able time, he said to his wife:
"We,, lass, did you get the fish
sent you:"
81 got Il lot of Gods heads" was her
reply.
"Qrjte right WAS the retort. you
never saw such fish in your life as we
had to tackle today. Before you could
land 'em. you had to pull their blooms

JAPAN REALLY BACK NUMBER
Writer Brings Forward Arguments to
Prove That the Chinese Are the.
t!ors Progressive.

It-may strike the western reader as
simply funny, but more than one Chi
nese friend has assured me that it is
the Japanese people who are really
conservative. And they back up their
assertion by evidence other than the
way in which Japan has chung through
all historic vicissitudes, to primitive
theocracy, John Dewey writes in Asia
Magazine. They point out, for exam
pie that thousand years ago the Jap
anese borrowed the present style OF
clothing and of household furnishing,
Of sitting and sleeping on mats, FROM
China: that China has changed sew
eral times, movin" constantly in the di-
rection of practical utility, of ingenl-
Gus adaptation of means to needs. Ihe
Chinese cuisine is another argument.
It is doubtless the most extensive III
the world in the variety OF material
employed for food and also the most
varied in its combinations. Academic
analysis may despiSe arguments drawn
from food, clothing, shelter and FUR
nishings. But when one notes the va
riety and ingenuity Of the processes
and appliances used in daily life ana IN
the crafts. one is certain that the Chi
nese mind is naturally Observant ana
adaptive. But it seems unnecessary 10
labor the question. Many charges nave
been brought against the Chinese, but
no one has eyer accused them OF Sf'i-
pidity. Their undnuhrrd CONSERVATISM
is something IL lie eEplain"'l !hU''r
than an explanation anything.

Noth;r1 Green in Death Valley.

The natural vegetation of Death val
lev is scant and stunted. There is not
a green thing that grows there natural
ly. The thOrny mesquit trees are of a
yellowish- green tinge; so, too, are the
grease bushes, while the sagebrush is
either a yellowish gray or the color OF
ashes. A little round g0llrd called the
desert apple grows in some of the can
yons. 1t turns yellow. when ripe and
has a thin meat within that is exceed
ingly bitter. The cactus that grows
beyond the valley in abundance is
rare here. I'm short, the vegetation of
Death valley is terribly scant, even in
comparison With the Mojave desert.

Chinese Silk in America.

The American demand for silk in
China has greatly increased in the
last few years until at the present
time about % per centnf the Chinese
silk is sent to the United States. This
is the result of American enterprise
more than that of the Chinese. The
Japanese silks had been in favor FOR
a long time with the manufacturers
of this country but it was we'll un-
derstood that the quality of the Chi
nese was superior, but it was not
adapted for use, in this country be-
cause of the manner in which twas
woven. An American manufacturer
secured Il moving picture reel show
ing the Japanese methods Of manu-
facture, and as Il result the Chlha-
men were induced TO change theirs TO
q system to conform with the demands
of the occidental customers, and the
industry has accordingly taken a great
jump.

DIFFUSING LIGHT IN Aslb
Christian Missionaries Firmly Behinh
independence Move, Though Not
Directly Responsible for It

No picture of the independence move
ment or of Korean life in any aspect
is adequate that does not include the
church as one of its high lights, OBJ
serves Nathaniel Peffer in Scribner's.
Now, even the japanese have with
drawn the charge that the movement
is exclusively Christian and that it was
instigated by American missionaries
for. American political purposes. But
it is true that the Korean Christians
are unit in its support, that the ma
iority of its leaders are Christian, and
that the originating impulse is largely
Christian. .-. ......-. ....-.....,-...
And. that is only natural: First, be-
cause the Christians are the most inlltl-
ential class in Korea, and. second, be-
cause conversion to the church neccS-
sarily means contact with, Western
ideas and Western thought. And those
necessarily means the development of
a. spirit that cannot and will not en-
dure subsection to the iron military
rule Of an alien cOnqueror.
In that sense Christianity is RESPONSE
BILE for the unrest in Korea and in that
sense the Christian church is the
enemy the Japanese have to fight. And
that will lie increasingly true rs time
goes on, for Christianity is making
rapid strides iri Korea, the. more rapid
for the part the Christians have played
in the rebellion.

Millions for @

One of the greatest American million
aires said to his physician, " 4 million

bling, for new stomach and then
the sick man groaned and turned away.
All his wealth could not make him
happy or contented, for happiness large

Lealth where does happiness como inf
After all the stomach plays a great
rart in everyday life. Without
healthy stomach and good digestion our
blood is thin, watery and ro1r, our
heart action is weak, our liver does not
do its duty, and man is miserable and
unhappy. Prevent disease by putting
tie house in order and strengthening
tie system against tie germs of disease.
DR.. Pierce Of the Invalids Hotel and

years ago understood diseases and their
prevention, and he discovered certain
roots and herbs which were natures
remedies, and succeeded in putting them
up i'll form that could, be easily pro
