About Il and About.

Our will is an Illusion caused by our
ignorance Of the causes which compel
us to exert our will. That which Wills
within us Is not ourselves but myriads
Of cells of prodigious activity, of
which we know nothing. which are
unaware Of us, which are ignorant of
one another, but which nevertheless
constitute us. BY means Of their rest
lessness they produce innumerable
currents which we call our passions,
our thoughts, our joys, our sufferings,
our desires, our fears, and our will.
We believe that we are our own mast
ers, while mere drop of alcohol slim
ulates, and then benumbs, the very
elements by which we feel and will.

WAS EXPECTED TO PROTEST
Customary at One Time for Speaker
Of House Of Commons to Re-
sist Appointment.

In one respect newly appointed
speaker Of the British house of com
mons may congratulate himself that
there has been an abandonment of
some Of the old customs, for he is
no longer expected to make an elabor-
ate pretense Of unwillingness to accept
his great office.
This pretense was carried to great
lengths at one time, and the cere-
mony took on some points of likeness
to the bridal customs Of savage coun-
tries, for the speaker was expected to
make a show even of physical re-
sistance when led to the chair.
It was not an original custom Of the
house. Far back in history II appears
that speakers protested to the house
and to the crown against their cleo
ton only when they really did not
want to be appointed. 1t seems to
have been under the Tudors that a
ridiculous subservience was imported,
and 1t was expected Of the speaker,
that he should make repeated ex-
cuses and declare himself unworthy Of
election"

TYPICAL OF LONG STRUGGLE
Word "Giant" and Its Derivatives
Really Denote Contest Between
Good and Evil Forces.

Like a fly In piece Of amber, q
great epoch Of human struggle with
the unknown forces Is inclOsed in the
word giant" Of which gigantic" is
a derivative. We first come across the
word "giant" In the Greek form,
"gigas" (genitive "gigantOs"). The
name was applied to mOnstrOus crea-
lures Of an enormous size and brute
force who for ages contested the SUI
premacy Of the gods and the lives and
happiness Of men.
They were eventually hurled into
Tartarus, or the lowest regions, by the
power Of Uranus, the god Of light.
The same legend Is to be found in the
mythology Of other nations. 1t I'M
doubtedly expresses In concrete form
the universal conception Of the strug-
gle between good and evil, between
light and darkness.
1t took "giant" forces to eliminate
some of the evils that beset the life
Of the human race, and to modify
others. The day when mankind has
conquered the last Of the enemies of
his well-being and happiness will in
deed be day Of gigantic" triumph

SPECIAL CAR FOR BIG SHOW

A special fireproof car has been
chartered by the
Shiawasee County Fair
to bring from Chicago the big out
door stage setting and the tons Of
explosives and set pieces of all
kinds which will be used in the
night fireworks show to be produced
at the fair this year.
Word was received yesterday that
the special equipment and ground
structures for use in the spectacle
were practically completed and that
the special car would leave Chicago
within few days.
A great chain Of electric and bat.
terry wiring is to be put in here, as
many of the big explosive effects
are controlled by battery charges
operated at distance. The equip
ment for this spectacle Is said to be
the most elaborate ever brought into
the state for any production of this
kind

Il Is Hard to Be Accurate.

Can you exactly describe what you
see? II you can, you are cleverer
than most persons. A book recently
published In Paris relates that at a
meeting of scientific men two of them
suddenly began to quarrel. Under
pretense Of obtaining legal evidence
the president Of the meeting asked
everyone present to write an exact
report of what had happened. The
quarrel was pure piece Of acting
arranged to test the powers Of OBJ
servation Of the men present.
Though the assembly was composed
entirely of jurists, psychologists and
doctors, only one report contained
less than 20 per cent of error; Is re-
ports had more than so per cent
wrong; and in "a reports from 10 to
Is per cent Of the details were wholly
imaginary. When men of science can
so err we can understand how easily
the ordinary man can go astray. The
story shows why lawyers value cir.
cumstantial evidence so highly

duced at the fair this year will en-
brace not only those pyrotechnic eff
fects known before the war but also

during the last year.
The evening show which will be
staged here this year by the Thearle-
Duffield Fireworks Co. of Chicago
requires tons Of explosives and color
fire features OF all types. 1t will be
especially elaborate in set pieces,
aerial effects and special numbers.
