Protecting American Dyes.
II Is Sought to Regulate Importations
by a License System.

To THE NEW York HERALD: In re-
gard to your editorial article entitled
chemicals Under the Tariff" let me
saw that the bill now before Congress
nrovides for a control of the importa-
tions of dyestuffs from foreign countries
under a license system. In order to
secure licenses importers are required
to show that the particular dye or dyes
which they wish to import are not made
in this country or are not made In suf-
ficient quantity or at a reasonable price.
Having established these facts the
license is then forthcoming as matter
of necessity and the dyes are imported,
subject to the regular tarifr rates.
There is no need for manufacturer
of any kind to go without any color
or dye that he may require in his proc
esses. If the dye that he must have
Is made IN this country. of n proper
quality and of sufficient quantity and
at reasonable price. he can Of course
obtain it. II 1t is not so made there
is not tho slightest disposition on any
body's part to prevent his importing II
until such time as 1t is made by Amerl-
can manufacturers and can be obtained
from them.
You win thus sec that there is no de-
sire OF effort to establish n monopoiistic
control of the dyestuff situation; there
is no desire to perpetuate n condition
whore inferior goods can be imposed
upon American manufacturers, and there
is no wish to prevent any American
manufacturer from getting the dyes
that he needs for his manufacturing
processes.
The bill is simply intended to protect
the American dyestuff industry, which
has already been established. and TO
give II reasonable chance to develop
still further It's activities until 1t has
achieved tho necessary experience to
enable 1t TO supply any or all colors
heretofore imported from Germany. II
is a mere matter OF patriotic common
sense to appreciate what the dyestuff
industry means to this country. Not
only Is II an industry on which prac-
tioarly every other Industry must neces-

Mountains of Sunrise.

From the Seattle Post-Inselrioercer.
I've seen the first tip of the morning sun
Over the eastern hills.
I've seen the last glow OF the setting
one,
Sight of hundred thrills.
But all of the sights that I've ever seen
Never eXcelled the one
or mountains afar in a mystic sheen
Blushing before the sun.
The mountains of dawn, with their
darker blues
Turned to a lovely pink,
Are fairyland mountains of magic hues
Guarding the daylight's brink.
The mountains of sunrise with tints OF
gold
Frightening all the rose.
1 love; though their hearts arc n Bit
ter cold,
Beauty upon them CLOVIS.

sand desert of central Arabia. But
his experience with the Dahana, Mr..
PHILBy says, was extremely dlsap.
pointing, in that he lost his respect
for it and for the man, evidently PAL
GRAVE, who described it as "Red
Desert" place Of terrors, where
many perish and where "even whole
caravans have been known to disap;
pear without leaving vestige.'
On the contrary, Mr.. PHrLBY found
that Dahana contains the secret of
nomad life. He says that on the rich
vegetation which covers the sandy
slope luxuriously after slight falls
Of rain the Arab depends for breed
ing and feeding the sheep and camels
which constitute his most valuable
possessions. "It is not then for moth
ing Mr. PHrLBY says, that the land
of the Bedouin Arab Is almost COM
pletely surrounded and intersected
at frequent intervals by sand belts of
varying widths" The great highlands
Of Maid, Mr.. PHILBY believes, will
amply repay exploration and research.
The country is evidently rich in min
eral resources, and somewhere in this
mountainous region there is said to be
rich gold mines.
Leaving these highlands behind
them the party descended into a val
ley of great beauty. One of the build
ings which Mr.. PHILBY noticed was
the summer home of an eX-Sherlf Of
Mecca, a splendid four story palace
of which the front was built of mar
bic and delicate woodwork tracery, a
sufficient testimony, he writes, of the
taste and splendor Of its builder. He
came soon afterward to Taft, the
summer resort of the princes and
merchants Of Mecca. The village,
which was dominated by medieval
castle and beautiful mosque, was
made up of superb summer cottages
and magnificent gardens. Mr.. PHILBY
was entertained royalty here. He was
assigned to splendid quarters, where
he had the luxury of hot baths and
where he said they brought him one
Of the most delicious meals he had
ever eaten-mountain honey, cream
cheese, ounces, pomegranates, dates
and the excellent bread which is made
IL that part of Arabia.
Mr.. PHILBY discovered to his sur
prise that he might even have in
cluded Mecca, the holy city of Islam,
so long closed to unbelievers, in his
itinerary had he so chosen. On the
part of the way from Mecca to the
Red Sea over which he travelled he
found the country so well policed that
there were many good inns and coffee
houses open to travellers. He neither
saw nor heard OF the numerous rob-
Der bands which in the past infested
the district, often numbering or kid
mapping and always preylng upon
pilgrims and travellers. Arabia, in
deed, has changed with the passing of
the Turk and the loosening of his grip
upon the country.

What Escapes at Death ?

While THOMAS A. EDISON was work
ing out his theory of the indestructi-
bility of life another scientist, q Ger
man, seems to have been arriving at
almost the same interesting ends.
In an article by GUSTAV ERENYI in
the Vienna Neue Freie Presse, which
is reprinted in the LtUing Age, we are
told of the conclusions Of Professor
KARL LUDWIG SCHLEIcH, famous
Berlin surgeon. He, like Mr.. EDISON,
has constructed hypothesis of per-
petual life based upon the phenomena
of the microscopic chromosomes and
nuclei:
HE maintains that the smallest
organisms in us. the elementary forms
>of living matter from which our
bodies are built, are indestructib,s
and live from generation to genera
ton and being to being, stamped with
alL<the characteristics of our indi-
viduality."
This is strikingly like Mr.. EDIsoN's $
declaration that ''life, like matter, is
indestructible," that "our bodies are
composed Of myriads and myriads of
ininitesimal entities, each in itself a
unit OF life, which band together to
build a man." and that at death the
entities enter the body of another per-
son, cor even start work on some
other form of life"
Mr.. ERENYI is not perfectly satisfied
with DR.. SCHLEICH's theory because,
he says, it, does not tell the future
fate of our conscious personality"
But when the scientific spectators
are going so far into the realm of the
almost infinitely little that objection
must be waived. If we admit the pos
sibility of the survival of the nuclear
substance-the cells of the cells-we
might as well think that the con-
scious personality goes with them.
For nobody can say that science
will not yet put q thought on the
scales and draw it's tape measure
around the shoulders Of memory.
The scientists are going PLATO one
better. He believed that reality be-
longs to the idea and that individuals
are but forms or copies of ,changeless
and eternal ideas In their pursuit OF
that which is almost infinitely small
physically the moderns may come
upon the idea itself. In day when
we hear Of bacilll that pass through
stone walls and of star whose size
overthrows the imagination nothing
seems unbelievable.

Look on Huge Betelgeux.
The Giant Star and Its Neighbors an
Early Evening Spectacle.

To The New YoRK HERALD: 1t is in
accordance with astronomical common
sense that the suns of night sparkling
SO remotely upon us are or a size much
more stupendous than we have hitherto
supposed. Professor Michelson's mar
vellous star measuring instrument has
revealed that the sun Alpha Orionis pos
sesses a diameter approximating Soo.-
000, 900 miles.
Now our own sun has diameter Of
only $685. miles. Thus Alpha Orionis
possesses a diameter approximating SAT
times that of our SUM- In other words.
according to this recently announced
measurement were this remote star to
take our suns place its surface would
extend about as far as the greatest dis
tance from our suns centre to the planet
Mars. That is to say. Alpha Orionis
would approximate 40.o00.0O0 times the
size of our own sky furnace, and were
our earth to be situated at the same
proportional distance from 1t as we are
from our present sun we should be
about twelve times as far as it is now
to the planet Neptune.
And we should remember that this
remote star Alpha Orionis is also known
as Betelgeux. 1t approximates dis
tance from our little earth of more than
one hundred light years; that is. it takes
its light rays moro than a century to
reach us.
The present time Is excellent to study
and admire Betelgeux around p NJ,
when It is glittering about half way
from the southern horizon to the zenith.
And If we glance around Betelgeux
fundamentally we shall behold the in
comparable sun Sirius scintillating be-
low It to tho southeast; the three belt
stars IN row also below It, between
Betelgeux and brilliant Rigel. and ruddy
Aldebaran and the Pleiades above it to
the west and northwest.

OtsegO Hills.

These stationed hills loom stately still.
They watch the sky, they scorn the
plain.
They have the might. the thwarted will
To move themselves; 1t is in vain.
And they remain while we go on,
Take summers heat take winters
snow;
They know not what fate's hand has
done
a Or why we pass and mourn to go.
They seem TO question as they stand,
They are so wise, yet know not this
Why they are held along the land,
Denied warm volcanoes kiss.
Perhaps when this old earth is mined
Cracks, totters. falls on ruin strange.
These prisoned hills shall haply find
Both death and freedom in their range.

The Close Of Day.

From the Los angeles Times.
At eve the mountains seem to devour
each dying day,
AS they stand between the earth and
heavens way.
They feast on sunbeams. drink the rain
and dew for wine.
Their Host is God, the infinite, with
whom they dine.
And he who sweeps his eye across the
broad expanse of skies
May see the finger prints of God in won
drous size;
Yea. too, may see that God Himself is
there
To hold and guide the worlds that
swing in air.
No language need be heard to tell His
mighty power,
THE heavens declare His glory" in this
closing hour.

On the Horizon.

We come to port an unknown craft,
From unknown shores we sailed;
The highest and the best of us
Is first by mortals hailed.
Then we are held in less esteem
AS we are better known.
Our telling virtues are not seen
Or recognized when shown.
But when again we set to sea
For lands beyond our ken,
Our highest point, the best of us,
Is last beheld by men.

Diplomatic Chop Suey.

about one diplomat for each line Of

LLOYD GEORGE has just announced
that calm is spreading over Europe,

favorite sport of juggling the great
political issues like Chinese cook
dealing with the ingredients Of chop

stantinople, boiling hot quarrel over
the Ruhr, budding disagreement
over Poland and n suppressed out

pot, the lid is clapped on and the
diplomats fade for while-only for

Nobody hears the pot boi1fng. The

diplomatic chef in the kitchen is a
forgotten parsonage. But presently
he pops up to announce that the mys-
