tional affairs at Lycee Cordorret in

ed. One was in favor of journalism.
For he became dramatic critic of Gil

authorities as Inevitable that other
tonEs-and there are n fyrDre or more
or them--will quickly follow Suit
Two factors in aucccssfuIIy com
batting tong wars of the future have
sprung from the lethal gas death Of Gee
Jon. One was the inability of the pow
erful Hop Sings to save his life
through lavish offers of money. The
other Is the oriental dread OF the
strange new death which was visited
upon him by white deviI' hands.
The night before Gee Jon was put
to death three emissaries Of the Hop
Sings visited the Nevada state prison
and offered first $1,000, and then &c.
600 IL his life was spared. 1t was be-
yond their comprehension that money
so literally offered would not serve
as an effectual barrier against death.
The fear and ignominy of the lethal
gas fate fneted out to Gee Jon is best
evidenced by the fact that his body
was unclaimed. Neither the Hop
Sings nor relatives would have any
thing to do with IL. Although his
tong was willing to pay $4,000 to
save his life. il would not contribute
a few hundred for decent burial.
The explanation given is that
Chinese funeral rites for the execut
ed highlander would do no good
that his way of death had made it
impossible for him to enter the
Chinese equivalent of Heaven.

He said it was certain that human
beings would soon be able to commu-
nicate with one another by radiations,
the existence of which has been
proven. He added:
"Sayants have been divided on the
question of Mays. but at last we are
on the point of utilizing human ra-

Signing of Magma Charta.

From the Adventure Magazlnc.
There is a difference of opinion as
to whether Runnymede, England, or
Magma Charta Island, just off the
shore, was the scene of the signing
of the great document. A generally
accepted version of the historic Incl
dent states that the army Of barons
encamped at Runnymede. that King
Johns army remained the oppo-
site bank of the Thames, and that the
meetings between the monarch and
the leading barons took place on the
little island A cottage there con-
tains a stone slab on which it is as
serted that the document was signed.
1t will be useless to look on the
map for Runnymede: il is only an in
conspicuous meadow (as the name
dicloses), being located about five
miles downstream from Windsor.
Though the original Articles of the
Barons" magma Charta) were signed
June 10, 1915, the day on which they
were presented. the provisions were
not put in the form of a charter and
executed by John until four days
later Four more days were taken
up with the making of provisions for
carrying out the charter.
The document is pretty we'll accept
ed as one of the most famous in Eng
lish history. Some authorities go SO
far as TO see in it the creator of Eng
lish law today.

today. intimates Of the President

Colors, Bird and Beast, in Harmon.

From the Ohio State Journal
A scientific investigator calls at
tention to the wonderful provision of
nature that causes the color of birds
and animals to be suited to their
surroundings, enabling them to have
that protection in defending them
selves from their enemies. The weasel
of the mountains becomes snow white
in the winter.
Many birds sare given colors that
blend with colors about them, a par
ticular instance being that of the
mi-palmated plover, that has a
black band across snowy breast.
The bird lives about the rocks and

drop when in danger and almost lose
its identity in the rounded contours
and shadows of the rocks about ii.
