MOON IS NOT DEAD WORLD
Recent Scientific Observations Seem to
Prove Astronomers Have Long
Held Wrong Idea.

Astronomers cling to the old idea
that the moon Is dead world, desti-
tUte alike of air and water. But recent
observations Of W. II. Pickering, made
ut Mandeville, jamaica. go to show that
many changes occur with the alterna-
tion Of lunar day and night. Great
snow fields form In the mountain val
leys, and then melt away; fog banks
are seen and, very rarely, drifting
clouds. The loftlest peaks are snow.
capped. The moons surface Is pItted
with volcanic craters; some Of these
measure 100 miles across. Each crater
Is surrounded by mountain ring 1000
to 10000 feet In height.
According to Pickering. there are
few, II any, such large and continuous
ly active volcanic regions upon the
surface Of the earth. But the activity
Of the lunar volcanoes Is now confined
to the quiet emission Of steam Jets,
like those found In Yellowstone Ma
tlonal park. Certain variable dark
areas on the moon may be due to vege-
tation.

REMAIN ALWAYS THE SAME
Overwhelming Proof That Fin .er.
Prints Undergo No Change Dur
ing Lifetime Of Individual.

The finger print Is scientific method
of Identification. A movement Is afoOt
in Michigan for n statewide registra.
iion system under which every one
would be 6nger-printed. 1t is also
planned by the government to establish
Il central bureau Of Identification with
Il national registration. 1t Is deduced
that prints are more permanent than
the body itself, us psychologists tell us
that the tissues Of the entire body
change once in about seven years, but
whOrls, curves and lines of the
papilla always are renewed in con-
formlty with the lines Of childhood.
After an attack Of scarlet fever the
cu:icle peeled off Of child's fingers
As an experiment prints were made.
They were found to be just the same
as those made before the sickness. A
man CHANGED to burn his fingers. They
were badly blistered. After the blsters
broke and the outer layer Of the skin
came off he made fingerprints each
day until the fingers were completely
healed. The ridges grew gradually
until they made the same sharp prints
that they had made before the acci.
dent.

TERM FOR POLITICAL CUNNING
italian Genius Gave Name to What
Might Be Called interruptions
Craftsmanship.

"Machiavellian" Is q term for po-
litlcal cunning, duplicity or bad faith,
because NiccOlO Machlavelli. an Ital.
ian statesman and historian. held as
one Of his principles that any means,
however lawless or unscrupulous,
might be justihably employed by a
ruler In order to maintain n strong
central government. He produced
among other works a treatise on gov
ernment called "The Prince" the prin-
clples Of which have gained for him n
notorlety as wide as the civilized
world.
Briefly, Machlavelli's political doc
trines maintained justification of the
means by the end. The ruler or prince
was to retain and augment his power
and to do so he might be an adept at
misleading his opponents and getting
rid of them. The interests of the state,
represented by the ruler, were held to
be above all laws or virtues, and the
despOtism Of the prince was to be
maintained by cunning and unre-
strained by morality.

AFGHAR ACTRESS IS
 ACCUSED BY HUBBY
BarOnet Is Granted Divorce From
 Show Girl Wife

New York, July 14.-Sir Gerard ! Maxwell Wiltshire. Baronet, received an interlocutory decree of divorce from Lady Lillian Maxwell Wiltshire from Supreme Court Justice Terpey his attorney, A. Spotswood Campbell announced yesterday.
 1t also was announced that the baronet, emulating the example of his beautiful wife, who came to Amer ica in 1920 and took up a stage career, is earning living as film actor, after having gone through bankruptcy in England.
 The divorce suit was not defended. Dorothy Redfern, maid for Lady Lil- lian. was Sir Gerald's principal wit ness. In his complaint the baronet alleged unfaithfulness with an "un- known correspondent" between Sept. 1. 1920, and Jan. 15, 1921, at his wife's apartment at 225 West S'oth street, and improper relations with ether men in April 1921. at the Sheerness hotel and at the Sunny brook, in Eastchurch, Kent, England.
 Sir Gerald Is living at the Hotel Netherland. It Is said Lady Lillian has returned to England. She was reported to have brought suit for di- vorce in London.
 Sir Gerard is the third holder of the title, his grandfather, Sir Thomas, having been created baronet in 1s41 for services as General in Afghan istan. He succeeded to the title in April. 1919.
 Lady -Willshires debut on the American stage was in Novem- Der, 1920. Her husband had just gone through the English bankruptcy courts and his estates were heavily entailed. She was in the harem scene with Alice Delysia, French actress, in "Afgar." Clad in the heavily pan niered robes of one of the harem in- rates, it's weight proved too much for her and she fainted on the opening night. She recovered in time to go on In the second act.
 The interlocutory decree will be- come final in three months.

FORD GIVES TRACTOR TO

Pontiac, Mich, July 14.-Henry Ford believes in keeping young men On the farm, his own youthful rela- tives included. ...
 Mir. Ford's second cousin, Charles Ford, wrote him recently that since graduated from the Pontiac High school he was having difficulty in persuading the boy to stay on the farm.
 He thinks there is no future for the young man on the farm," the uncle wrote. He wants to go to De- troit and work in your factory, and perhaps some day follow in your foot steps as a manufacturer. His mother and I want him to stay here and help us, and, when I get too old, take my place."
 There was no reply to the letter un- til this week. Then it came in the form of new tractor, something with which to Tighten the burden of farm labor and also something which me chanical- minded youth could like.
 The sons delight with the gift was increased when MT. Ford himself call ed at the farm the next day to say that blow and disc would be deliver ed in a few days, to go with the trac- tor, and gave him some fatherly con- sel- about sticking to the farm and the old home.
 Dewain will stay on the farm.
