problem but unless we understand
some of the great principles Of hu-
man history coming down through
the ages, we discover a certain for
ward trend in human affairs. 1t must
be the most hopeless pessimist in the
world who will refuse to admit that
mankind has made and is making
progress.
In what does progress consist ?
Progress consists in the increasing
participation of more and more pee
pie in all of the good things CT life.
Whenever you widen the franchise,
you are supposed at least to have
made political progress. Whenever
you place the open door OF the
church before every child and every
man and woman. you have made
spiritual progress. Whenever you
open the door of the scheolhouse to
every chAd. you have made intellec-
tual progress, and whenever you
manage to have a wider distribution
of wealth, you have made economic
progress.
The basis of a permanent society
must be very broad. II you have a
few very rich people and . great
many more very poor people In a
community you will not have q stable
permanent social system, 1t 10 better
ia have ninety men own their own
homes out of a hundred than to nave
ten men own palaces and the other
ninety live IN cottages as mere rent
ers.
Every working man who really
works hard should own his ewn
home. He should lay something by
for a rainy day, so If his wife and
children r. sick to give them the
best medical attention and pay for
| it himself, without being an object
| of charity. IL he has a chlld Of gen.
ius he should have the resources ia
give that child a better opportunity
than e has had.
Now, that is the first principle
Progress Is the more complete par
ticipation of all the people in all the
good things of life.
Industry Spells Progress.
A second principle. Civilization
chooses at different periods in his
tory some one great instrument fol-
its advancement. There was a time
when war was it's chief instrument,
The Roman Empire pushed back Its
boundaries and laid its foundation by
war. In the last century science was
the chief organ of civilization. And
we made more progress by the ap-
plication of science to the natural
laws of the world in n generation
than mankind had made since writ
ten history began. We have come tt
a time when civilization has chosen
a new instrument or organ for its ad'
vaneement. That new organ Of civil
cation is industry, and u civiliza'

BARON BELIEVED HIS YARNS
Munchausen Said to Have Deceived
Even Himself by His Tales of
Wild Adventures.

Baron Munchausen was the imagl-
nary author and hero of series Of
wonderful tales entitled "The Adyen-
lures of Baron Munchausen They
were first published ia England in 1885
by Rudolph Erich Raspe, an expatri-
ated German, and were followed by
translations and limitations in German
and other languages.
The name of the hero is said to
be derived from Jerome Charles Fred
erick won Munchausen. a German Off
Ger in the service of Russia, who be-
came notorious for his ridiculous tales
of adventure. Ii is said that by dint
of repetition he came finally to believe
implicitly in the truth of his most ex-
travagant stories.
The authorship Of these tales is in
dispute, although one authority says
''the author is Rudolph Erich Raspe
and the sources from which the adven-
lures were complied are Bebel's Face
5lae, CastigIione's 'Cortegiano,' Bilder-
mann's Utopia, and some Of the
buron's own stories"

HOLD VARIOUS BIRDS SACRED
People q Many Lands Strongly Super
stltlous Concerning Some of the
Featherod Tribe.

Some Indian tribes viii never hurt
or even touch certain birds, regarding
them as the abode of the animated
souls OF their dead chiefs. In Eng
land and Scotland, especially, the
robin Is regarded as sacred. Its red
breast Is supposed to be of that color
because drop of Christ's blood fell
on a robin, and thenceforward all rob-
lns were so marked
1t Is deemed unlucky to XIII swal-
low or to destroy It's nest. That is
because swallows were said to have
flown round the Cross of Calvary cry
Ing "Syala Syala !" which means COM
fort. 1t will be noticed that the swal-
low gets Its name from this peculiar
cry of ''Svala."
The wren is another sacred bird, be-
cause, according to an old belief, Ii
brought fire form heaven to the earth
when the human race had no kn0wl-
edge of how to create fire.
The thrush is a bird OF luck, and
to have one build In the garden of
ones home Is said to be a sign Of
coming good fortune.
Peacocks are unlucky.

oenatured Alcohol.

Denatured alcohol Is grain alcohol
made unfit for use as beverage
Completely denatured alcohol Is made
by adding ren gallons Of wood alcohol
and half gallon of benzine TO 100
gallons of ethyl alcohol. This is free
from government tax and may be
bought by any one for use as fuel or
light.
The denaturing must be done when
the alcohol is produced and in bonded
warehouses used exclusively for the
purpose and for storing denatured al
cohol. and is done under the supervi-
sion of the government, according TO
the law. The grain alcohol may be
made from grain, corn, potatoes or
similarly starchy products, but the
conditions under which 1t must be pro-
duced make Ii impraeticable except

OLD FORM or TELEGRAPHlNG
Crude Method Employed BY Ancient
Peoples, but II Conveyed the De
sired information.

Practical telegraphy is not 50 en-
tirely q product Of modern science as
many may suppose. It Is tradition that
Agamemnon telegraphed the fail Of
Troy to Greece by means Of bonhres On
the mountain tops. Although there may
be much doubt as TO whether this IS
not a mere legend, there can be no
question that IN the second century
before Christ there was a system OF
telegraphing in Europe by which mes
sages were sent from one place to
another by means of fire, the words
being spelled out letter by letter.
The letters Of the alphabet were ar
ranged In five cOlulAns, so that any
letter could be designated by stating
in what column it was contained and
its number In that column. TO convey
this information to distance two
men, each having five torches, were
stationed behind two barbados the
first, by holding up the necessary num-
Der of torches, Indicated the number
of the column that contained the let
ter he was sending. and the second i'll
dic8ted similarly the actual numerical
place of the letter in that column. 1t
is evident that by series of stations
messages of any length could have
been sent-say from Rome to Athens

MAY RESUME CORAL FISHING
Expected Revival of Industry as a Re-
suit of Systematic Exploration
of the Banks.

The coasts Of Algiers and Tunis in
Africa have long been famous for
their production OF coral; but some
years ago coral fishing on these coasts
rapidly diminished, until il was aban-
doned. Now, however, this industry
seems to be reyNing in Algiers and it
is expected that il win be resumed III
TGnis \ systematic exploration of
coral banks has been under way and
the best methods OF collecting the cor
al have been discussed. The old way,
which. MAS very wastefuI, consisted in
the use of various forms of grapples,
combined with strong nets, which were
swept over the banks, tearing delicate
structures apart, and recovering but
small portion of the broken coral.
The employment of divers is advocated
as more economical. both in the qualify
OF the harvest ana the preservation OF
tile banks. Divers can descend 10 a
depth Of about $50 feet, and good coral
is seldom found at greater depths.
