KISS, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC

pr. Emile Malespine, in the Forum.
 The first manifestations of the kiss encount cred in literature are those which are furtht-t removed from the kiss of love. Thus the religious kiss, and the kiss of homage, appear rather as ceremonies. than as natural and spontaneous expressions of sentiment. The Bible shows us pagans kissing their idols. The Greeks and Romans had a special veneration for statues: there was at Agrigenta, according to Cicero. a marvellous statue of Her cules, of which the lips and the chin were completely worn away by the devotion of the faithful.
 The Romans, as we'll as the Greeks, knew all it's perfections. Their pathological wealth in this regard, is an added proof. Without counting the diminutives, they had three words specifying the kiss: the osculum cor responds to what we should call the kiss of friendship; the basium. more tender, was the kiss of relatives, and of husband and wife; finally, the saw ium applied to the kisses oflovers.

 .sALOME" AND BELGIUM

w. J. Henderson, in the July Yale
 Review.
 Strauss "Salome" was master piece of gilded obscenity. The dramatic poem of Oscar Wilde, used as the libretto, is in itself the prod uct of mind gifted with genuine poetic power, but diseased. Strauss revelled in the opportunities pro- vided by this book for the compost ton of purely sensual music. He rose to his highest level in the fina. scene in which the degenerate girl, having caused the prophet to be be- headed. groveled and wrlthed about the stage embracing the insenate head and kissing the bloody lips. The opera was received in Germany with acclamations and accepted as mas terpiece oc realism. A public mind prepared to take such view could not be shocked by the murders and lecheries of Belgium.

mountains and the valleys of the sea are all at the same level.
 It Is like taking two blocks of wood, one of light poplar and the other of heavy oak. If they are made so that they both have the same horl- zontal cross section, and if they are then cut to just the proper length so that they have the same mass, or weight, they will float on the water with their submerged ends at the same level. But the lighter popular block will stick out of the water fur ther than the heavier one of oak. 1 In the case of the earth we may consider that the columns of the crust that make the mountain are like the oak. But instead of blocks only few square inches in area, the earth crust blocks are hundreds of square miles in cross section.
 The scientists have also found that these blocks of earth crust floating at the same level must have equal pressure exerted on their bases. For this reason they have given their branch of science the name of 'isos- tasy." which is just the scientific way of saying equal pressure.
 Although they believe that the crust of the earth acts like wooden blocks on water, scientists know that the interior of the earth is not liquid. | Studies of earthquakes show that tremors of this sphere go through the center portion as though it were solid The earth nucleus is like a block of tar that has the properties of solid, but still flows even in the coldest weather if a continued pressure is placed upon it.
 This rather new idea of the way in which the shell of the earth Is built will make the geologists change some of their ideas about the forma- ton and origin of mountains 1 It is known that some of the val leys that existed during the areas be- fore man arrived, via the monkey
 line. are now the high spots of the He says that when valley was trans
 formed into a mountain, the column
 of earth under 1t simply elongated
 dense, and the mass of that section of the earth did not become any
 greater than before. This theory has been checked by finding on the moun-
 tain tops rocks containing the same
 kind of fossil animals and insects as a few miles. The rocks became less are found in the valleys.

Dilatory Tactics in
 Debt Refunding Plan

0 ECRETARY MELLON wisely O advocates refunding the debts owed us by Europe. Congress is already trying to interpose dilatory tactics in getting at this important problem. The usual drawn-o out pro- cess of gathering minute data be- fore considering any refunding plan is strenuously advocated.
 That the debts should be refunded goes without saying. Any individ- ual, private corporation or munich pality in the financial tangle that the European nations are would have it brought into some working form by refunding and rearrange- ment of interest rates, terms of pay ment and the like.
 The war has been over nearly three years, yet we have gotten nc further than declaring a state of peace with Germany that has strings attached to it; that is with out meaning so far as numerous problems left over from the war are concerned. The administration is playing the sane and safe game tc the point of getting nowhere. =
 Secretary Mellon is an expert financier. It is a pity that Con- gress cannot give him carte blanche to go ahead on this important prop osition.

From the New York World.
 EG HE statement of Baron Shide-
 hara that it is the firm ana
 9 fixed determination of JapSn to permit nothing to hamper her tra- ditional relations of good will and understanding with the United States" is not, in spite of it's form and the place of its delivery, mes sage primarily to this country. It Is meant for perusal in London, where the colonial premiers have taken a firm stand in the imperial conference against any alliance even remotely inimical to the United States.
 Yet the statement of the Japanese ambassador should be studied in this country also, and especially for the light it casts upon interpretation oi the much discussed Article of the Anglo-Japanese treaty. This article adopted in 1911. reads as follows:
 "Should either high contracting party conclude a treaty of general arbitration with 8 third power. 1t if agreed that nothing in this agree ment shall entail upon such contract ing party an obligation to go to wal with the power with whom such treaty of arbitration is in force"
 No rule of international or domes' tic law is better established than that statutes and treaties may be in terpreted in accordance with the con. ditions existing when they were framed. In 1911, as Ambassador Shi. dehara says, negotiations were ir progress between London and Wash ington for a general arbitration treaty. Article meant the United States, when such treaty should b' completed, and the United StateI alone. No other great power an swered the description.
 The fact that the Senate did no ratify the arbitration treaty whicl in 1911 was in negotiation does no affect the purpose or intent witt which Article of the Anglo-Jap anese treaty was framed. For tha matter, it would have been simple and more sensible at any time in tn past 10 years for our Senate to ratif'

JOHN BURROUGHS AS A BOY

John Burroughs loved books, and his early desire for knowledge, both of the out-of- doors and that to be Is illustrated by two incidents which Mabel Ansley Murphy relates in the July number of St. Nicholas:
 When John was 13 some men and women met to plan for opening an academy in the town. So eager was this odd un' to learn that he at tended the meeting-the only boy there. The academy did not come to the village, but John O Birds plodded on alone, copying in little book every unfamiliar word he heard or found in his reading. One eve ming he heard lecturer refer to the 'Encyclopedia Britannica He liked the sound of the words, so down they went in his note book and oyer and over he rolled them under his tongue as he went about the chores of the farm. Little did he dream that in the years to come his name would
 
 made such music in his ears.
 When he was IT, he found him- self in New York city for day. Long had he dreamed of seeing the sights of the great city. But he saw not one. For, as he started up Will Hams street, little second hand book stalls along the curb beckoned to him. From one to another slowly he made his way, first into one book, then another. At last the long shad- ows of the afternoon began to fall. Soon the boat to Kingston would leave, the boat on which his return passage was paid. He looked at the pile of books he had selected, and said timidly to the vendor. How much for these books"
 "The man looked them over, then rapped out bruskly Eight dollars! John pulled out his purse and counted it's contents Not quite nine dollars! But, he could doi without supper and breakfast, take the stage as far as his odd cents would carry him, and walk the rest of the way home. He just had to have the precious books
 Saint Pierre's Studies of Nature. Locke's Essay on the Human Under standing,' pr. Johnson's works, and a few others.
 So this odd boy trudged over the mountains from Kingston to his home with nothing in his purse nothing in his stomach, but with a light 'heart, and a heavy pack of books upon his back.

MARK OF THE BEAST

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 There are certain brutal happen ings and onameless cruelties that make men despair of the thing called humanity. Nor do all of these happen in Armenia, or Africa, or in the sav- age 1ynchings by fire and rope. They happen even in Philadelphia.
 17-year-old boy. a stripling of a lad, whose only. offense was that he was working on job from which a striker had walked out, was set upon by three assailants. He was rend- cred helpless. While helpless, down and done for, air was forced into his body from a compressed air tank The tremendous pressure ripped his lungs and. other vital organs to shreds.
 Now, what manner of creatures are these animals who did this thing? They doubtless are shaped like men, walk and have speech like men and have been regarded as men by their fellow beings.
 But that is all. There is no part of manhood or common humanity in such animals. Their loathsome cruelty and bestial savsgery have crowded 1t out.
 It is this sort of crime on the part of supposed strikers and alleged workers that is breeding cold rage in the hearts of decent Americans
 Somewhere this sort of bestiality is planned. approved and applaudet after it is done. Somewhere the tor turer and killer wears the crown oi hero.
 If the leaders of workers organiza. tions do not want labor blamed fol such outrages, 1t Is time that they bestirred themselves. They must ait lin stamping 1t out or take the white. hot blame that Is coming. Mere words win not help. Unless they wan the stigma to rest on the whole move ment. they must help in the findins and the hanging of murderers and th, punishment of mutilators and tortur | CTS.

JAPAN AND THE ALLIANCE

an arbitration treaty with Great Brit ain than for mischief makers to in dulge in alarmist talk about Japan's intentions.
 Not that intentions on either side of the Anglo-Japanese compact were ever in doubt. No party in Great Britain lets any reasonable oppor- tunity slip to declare war with tns United States unthinkable. No party in Japan, except the jingoes who has looked our way with apprehen- sion. The facts are we'll known. In 1902, when the first alliance treaty with Great Britain was signed, Japan was apprehensive about the Russian advance. In 1911, when it was re- newed she was, not without reason. worried about German adventures in China.
 Oriental mystery has pretty we'll | disappeared from Japanese public life. Nippon's people are much like others; tax-burdened. pestered by the
 cost of living, tired of war and war
 taxes. no more fond of being killed in needless battles than other men. And even since the signing of the l first Anglo-Japanese treaty tre- mendous change has come over the i country, whose significance shouh | not be lost. The power of public I opinion has become guide and spur where generation ago it simply did not exist; and in token of it Japans first commoner premier still directs
 her destinies with keen regard to
 that opinion.
 So that when Baron Shidehara
 speaks of Japans friendly intent he
 is representing not merely mon
 arch, not merely an Emperor and
 Parliament. but a people that has learned how at last to make it's pur- pose plain and its will obeyed.

further Generalization of business

further demoralization of business and heavier taxation.
 But the republican party is com mitted to the soldier bonus. As a matter of political expediency some thing will have to be done, either now or later. The republicans are not going to run the risk of alien ating the votes of ex-service men and public sentiment largely sup ports the former soldiers in their claim to compensation for the finan- cial losses they sustained during the war while profiteering flourished at home and non-combatants enjoyed unprecedented wages.
 Advocates of bonus seem to be in a hopeless muddle. One particu- larly bright proposal is to make war profiteers pay the ex-service men. That is obviously impossible. There is no way to recover the money, even if it could be shown what proportion of war profits was illegitimate. Another suggestion is that the interest owed by foreign governments on their war debts be given to the soldiers. As that in- terest is not in sight and is not apt to be for several years, such plan is impractical.
 In the meantime, the plight of our disabled veterans demands prompt relief.

Alabama Coal in Need
 of a Foreign Outlet

7NHERE is something wrong
 l when the United States ex- ports 2,5Oo,OOo tons of bituminous coal with none going out of Ala bama, which is close to tidewater.
 That was the record for the month of May. Among the takers of American bituminous coal were Ar genuine, which imported 113,OO0 tons; Brazil, 1o3,Oo8, and Uruguay, 3O,ooo.
 Alabama has the Warrior coal seam and low rates to the port at Mobile. It is strange that we have not long ago done a greater coal business with our near neighbors
 Our hopes lie in the federal term inal that is being built at Mobile lb Will nave SdPaSlcy ol aV,oou tons and machinery for loading When it is completed ordinary business sagacity should be able to secure business.
 Alabama coal must find an ex- port outlet if the industry is to make the same progress in the flu ture that it made prior to 1915 Partly due to the use of electricity and partly to the competition of Kentucky and other coal, it's domes- tic trade territory has been cur tailed.

MELBA MADE KITCHENER CRY


 From a Letter in the Winnipeg Fri bune.
 A quarter of century ago Melba was in the full bloom of her younger womanhood, a goddess and enchan- tress in voice, face and form. A guest 1 was at the old West hotel. Mime apolis, where the Metropolitan com pany members were staying, and on couple Of occasions I saw her din- ing and enjoying herself like other folk, in the company of Schumann- Heink, Nordica, Edouard de Reske Damrosch and others. It was some thing for a youngster to have the privilege of seeing, couple of tables away, the women blessed with wha: was generally believed to be the pur- ist' lyric soprano voice in all the wide, wide world. There is some times a big difference in what you see before, and away from the foot lights. The stage vision is frequently dispelled when the paint and pads are missing. Not so with Melba. Then l saw her in one of the light Italian operas, La Boheme," with Journet singing the song to the old coat She was also on for an extra the Mad Scene" from Lucia" To my way of thinking, her appearance in Lucia's clinging white robes, with out any of the lacing and harnessing peculiar to her sex, was quite as beautiful as her voice. Blessed with singers physique from her teen days, Dame Nellie Melba always gave the impression of having voice in re- serve.
 One press story goes that Lord Kitchener was a stern, pitiless man in some regards, but Dame Melba pene- trated the fount of tears in that i'm placable organism. It happened thi. way-Melba was in Cairo and was in | taries, including Lord Kitchener ] whom she knew very we'll Of course Melba, during the evening, was asked to sing. She begged to be excused, as she was not feeling well. Lord Kitch- ener pleaded that she sing Home | Sweet Home." He said that he had been in exile for years, and on that account would be pleased if Melba would sing the old favorite. When Melba had finished the song there was perfect silence in the company Kitchener did not say word He came up to the diva. kissed her hand and when he lifted his head Melba saw the tears rolling down his cheeks.

 This is a new use for gravitation. The scientists who have been puz- zling out the way in which the shell of this earth is put together have found that the heavy rocks of the earth have greater attraction for the very precise gravitation. pendu- lum than the lighter material in the crust, and they believe that this may make 1t possible to discover crystal Vine and other heavy rocks that may be covered by materials of normal or | lighter densities.
 l If this proves to be the case, 1t may be possible to locate areas un- derlaid by dense rocks close to the surface of the ground, which may have an economic importance in con- nection with boring for oi4, Much money has been lost by oil prospect OTIS in drilling in regions which have been found by them to be underlaid by crystalline rocks.
 The geologist and the geographer may then be able to use the pendu- lum as tool along with their ham mers. It has been found that the latest parts of the earth's crust. the stuff that was formed during the lCenozoic era while mammals and man gradually evolved, Is about one- tenth lighter than the older rocks. and this fact may help in estimating the thickness of these rocks.
 Suppose MT. Edison fired this ques- tion at you: Where is the earth densest, under the highest mountains or under the deepest seas?" Probably, unless you are geodesist, you would say: Under the mountains, of course"
 But it is not. MT. Bowie explains that work in his science has proved that the crust of the earth is riding on the interior or nucleus like blocks of different kinds of wood in a pan of water
