BRITAIN ADOPTS POISON GAS
Its Use as Supreme Weapon of tho
Next War Is Seen in Dye
stuffs Act.

Washington.-By the passage Of the
dyestuffs import regulations act Great
Britain has definitely accepted the
theory that poison gas will be the su-
preme weapon Of the next war, and at
the same time has opened the way for
the entry of German dyes into this
country, according to views expressed
by chemical experts Of the govern
ment.
The British act, which became a
law recently, prohibiting the importa-
ton of d~yestuffs into Great Britain for
ten years, enables England to build
up her dye industry to a point Of COM
plete independence from the outside
world.
Poison gas and dyestuffs both come
from coal tar. By insuring the devel-
opment Of the dye industry, chemical
experts say, Great Britain has laid
the groundwork for possible wide
spread use Of gas in warfare, as chem
ical factories can turn from the manu-
facture Of dyestuffs to the production
Of poison gas practically at will.
Direct competition in this country
between German and American made
dyes also is seen by officials here as a
result Of the British dyestuffs act.

In Addressinu the STRANGER.

Every locality in America has more
or less definitely defined nicknames
the residents call strangers when adj
dressing them. In Philadelphia, for
instance, strangers are addressed as
Mack A Philadelphia wishing to
ask the time from some one he didn't
know would say: "What time is it,
Mack?"
Out in Seattle the common name
for a stranger is "Bo." This is prob
ably due to the influence of the I. w.
w. Lumber jacks, mine workers and
blanket stiffs" all go by the familiar
name of "Bo." The extensive use of
this term has gradually been adopted
by the more polite strata Of society in
that section, and is now considered
good form.
In Denver they have the breezy
western "Bill." In Chicago it is
Jack in the army Buddy" In
Louisville it is Colonel" of course.
In Boston it is "Neighbor," while in
New York one Broadwayite insists it
is "Ikey."

BELIEVE DEVIL RULES EARTH
Probably Queerest Religious Faith Is
That OF Tribe of Kurdish and
Arabian Blood,

One of the strangest religious sects
in the world is known as the Yezedi,
a race of mixed Kurdish and Arabian
blood. They worship the devil, and
believe he will rule the earth for
10000 years, 1000 Of this number hav-
ing already passed. On the theory
that Jesus is good, and will not harm
them, they give most Of their devotion
and sacrifice to the devil who, they
assert, will at the end of the next
5000 years, be put into hell, where
he will weep so hard he will put out
the fires, and then will be pardoned
and given back his rightful place in
heaven.
The Yezedi believe that there were
II Adams and a similar number of
Ewes, and that the originals once had
a great dispute rs to who was the
most important, the man or the wom-
an. To prove the matter the women
spit in n great jar and the men in
another, and the Jars were the sealed
for nine months. At the end of that
period they were opened, and from
the women's jar leaped a pile Of
snakes and worms, while from the
mems jar came a beautiful boy and
girl. In spite of their strange beliefs
they are very industrious, honest. hos
pitable and kindly, although steeped
in dense ignorance, one phase of their
religion forbidding them to learn
letters.

"THRIFT" THAT DOESN'T PAY
Some Suggestions for the Housekeeper
and for Those Who Are
Too Saving.

There are some thrift suggestions
that do not always pay, remarks a
writer in the New York Sun.
It doesn't pay, for instance, to wrap
the ice in your icebox up in newspaper
to save the ice when by so doing you
will keep the rest of the icebox from
being kept cool. You may save your
ice, but you may lose more than the
worth Of the ice in meat and vegeta-
bles that have been spoiled.
It doesn't pay to make a cake with
out butter or eggs when you have to
throw half Of the cake away because
no one will eat it.
It doesn't pay to do your own house
cleaning to save the expense Of a wom-
an by the day when this means that
you are not able tt have dinner at
home at an expense of rather more
than new material would cost.
1t doesn't pay to deal with a grocer
who underse4ls the other grocers a lit
tie because he has no delivery service
when you spend an hour in getting
your supplies in order to save 10 cents.
There are other ways that you can
make an hours time worth much more
than that.
1t doesn't pay to set 81 economical
a table that your children and your
husband will have a craving for candy
and between meals that will cost very
much more than would be needed to
set a really bountiful table.

Trees Hard to Kill.

When a tree is cut to the ground
and the root is left to rot, all the
forces seem to rally round the DOR
mant leafbuds contained in the old
roots. Subsequently, strong new
shoots grow, in much the same man
ner as from pollard willows.
With the saplings and peasticl1s,
the case is the same as with shrubs,
because, purposely or inadvertently,
som leafbuds on the stem have been
buried under the earth.
Although oak stakes are rarely
found among those which flourish I'M
der such conditions. yet there is a
case now in a Welsh colliery, where
a piece of oak timber, supporting the
roof, has developed branches like mini
allure trees, which have grown to a
length Of three or four feet.
These are thickly covered With fully
opened leaves of pale green, tipped
with pink.
They live in utter darkness, and
present a most peculiar sight when
revealed by the light of a passing
safety lamp.

U. S. HEROES BODIES
Nine Hundred of the f,777 Dead Rest
ing at Bony, France, Start
Journey Home.

Paris.-Exhumation of the bodies Of
the American soldiers buried at Bony
cemetery, all men of the Twenty-sev-
enth (New York National Guard and
Thirtieth (Wildcat, from Tennessee
and North and South Carolina) divi-
sions, began recently.
Of LIT bodies in the cemetery,
about 900 will be returned to the
United States and the remainder will
not be disturbed. .Bony is to be one
Of the four permanent cemeteries in
France, and other bodies will be moved
into the cemetery, but this work will
not start until the work Of sending
bodies to America has been completed.
1t is the first big battlefield cemetery
to be reached by the army exhumation
units. The district is so devastated
that there is no shelter for the work
ers and a train had to be provided to
make quarters for them. The winter
weather has also set in and movable
sheds have had to be built to shelter
the men while working.

Modern Words Traced to Trees.

While the ancient Greeks fancied
that every tree was possessed of it's
own peculiar spirit, and nature lovers
insist that trees have personalities
even as men and women, it is only nat
ural that men have paid tribute to
the tree. The leaves of plants
named the leaves of books, and the
word folio" traces back to foliage"
The word paper m from the old
papyrus plant. and the word "Bible"
is the Greek name Of the plant, accord
Ing to the Minneapolis Journal. The
word "book" Is derived from beech"
and the "codex' originally meant tree
trunk. 1t is because men have found
TIM trees kind friends and interesting
subjects that they have been paid 80
much tribute.

HOPE INSTEAD OF DESPAIR
Inscription Suggested for Portal OF.
British Institution Would Seem
Peculiarly Happy.

Above the entrance to the prison on
Dartmoor, Eng, which is now to be
done away with, two Latin words are
cut into the stone, which may be rem
dered "Spare the vanquished," and 1t
was in this spirit the French prison
ers in the Napoleonic wars as well as
American prisoners in the War Of 1872
were received and treated, and In time
allowed to live on parole in the neigh
boring villages and towns.
Stories Of these refined and charm
ing hostages have delighted the heart
Of youthful readers Of many genera
lions, and the work done by them In
carving and carpentering is still care
fully treasured in many. a home in
Dartmoor to the present day. Little
could they have imagined that the fine
air would make Dartmoor as famous
a resort as some Of the highlands Of
Switzerland, and that after having be-
come a convict prison about 60 years
ago, the place Of their incarceration
would be turned into an institution
for training lads on the Borstal sys-
TEN. The boys will have freedom. and
will be acquiring a knowledge Of farm
ing and reclamation work, as well a s
other means of gaining a living and
fitting them to become valuable mem
bers Of society. The boys will be
merely hostages, and another legend
should be carved over the gateway,
this time something more suitable to
the occasion, such as "Take hope, all
you who enter here."-Christian Sci
ence Monitor.

Measuring Mammoth Cave.

An odd method has been used in
measuring the height of some Of the
great chambers in the Mammoth cave.
The experimenter had little balloons
made of a special pattern, with thin
ner and more elastic rubber than that
of common toy balloons. Then, with
five balloons tied in a cluster, and
each inflated with hydrogen to a diam
eter of 10 inches, he began his at
tempts. An acetylene light revealed
the balloons when they touched the
top. The measuring tape was a light
thread. The Rotunda was found to Be
just 40 feet high, and the Mammoth
dome 119 feet 6 inches. But in the
vast temple called Gorin's dome, wan
dering air-currents rendered the bal
looms unmanageable.

SAW MIRAGE ON SIDEWALK
College Professor Records Interesting
Observation He Made on the
Streets of a City.

A curious case Of sidewalk mirage
was described by Prof. Il. w. McNair
Of Michigan College Of Mining. Prof.
McNair wrote in Science:
81 was walking eastward oh a &C.
ment sidewalk on a street running
nearly east and west, and moving up
a moderate grade which joins a nearly
level stretch of walk. On reaching
a point which brought my eye slightly
above the level portion, and at which
normally the level stretch would have
been seer in it's entire length. but
much foreshortened, I observed in
stead what appeared to be a stretch
of clear dark water covering the en-
tire width of the walk and brilliantly
rejecting moving persons and other
objects in sight beyond it.
1.-THE sky was clear, the air cool,
the sun high. 1t was about 8 o'clock
p. M, local time. There was a moder-
ate breeze. The angle of observation
was very small, probably not above
three degrees. A step or two either
EAST VI west, anu ui0 water was SOue,
but within the proper limits, the ;llu-
sion was definite and continuing. The
weather bureau report for the day
indicated that approximately 80 feet
above the spot where the mirage was
observed the air temperature was
about 60 degrees T. and the humidity
about 60 degrees"
The resemblance between conditions
here described and those which pro-
duce the mirage on the plains is OBJ
vious.

Costs More to Guard Whisky.

Louisville, Ky.-An authorized in
crease in the number Of warehouse
guards from 200 to 300 means that
$4,000 will be required to police
whisky stored in Kentucky during the
coming year. The large expense in
volved will result in plans to cen
tralize liquor. Withdrawal of 100000
gallons of whisky from Kentucky
warehouses during the first 20 days Of
December indicated preparations for
Yuletide. Internal revenue records
show that 1,210,91S gallons of whisky
were withdrawn between October /
