Flemish Burghers Had
True Democratic Spirit

The crown prince of Sweden, guest
of the mayor of the ancient town Of
Bruges in Flanders, expressed surprise
at the democratic manners OF the
burghers Of the town They dropped
in quite casually at the "malrle" and
came to shake hands with the heir
apparent Of the Swedish crown. These
Flemish burghers have ever been thus,
according to Pierre Van Paassen In the
Atlanta Constitution. There need be
no surprise in their customs. When
Louis VIII, king of France, arrived In
Client to be present at the marriage
of his sister to the archduke of Aus
tria, special entertainment was given
In the market square. On the one side
or the square was luxurious lodge
draped In ermine and velvet, where
seats had been arranged for the car
dinal princes Of the church and the
king Some good burghers arriving be-
fore the king calmly occupied the royal
and princely seats. When the king put
In an appearance the burghers refused
to give up their seats to the cardinals,
though they made room for the king
OF France. Indignantly, the cardinal
archbishop of Rheims, who was pres
ent, ordered one citizen thrown into
the river. The bailiff asked him: "On
whose authority shall do thls?" "On
the authority Of prince of the blood
and prince of the holy church." came
the order. Your highness," replied
the bailiff 1.-THE man you want me to
throw into the river Is a cloth weaver,
and that means a little more than q
mere prince Of France with u.s."

Middle Age for Women
From Twenty to Fifty

On the other hand, I was talking
with a friend the other day, who has

years and ten, and he was deprecating
a state of affairs which allows women
TO have a take in the politics of their

Venetian Dead Carried
TO Gya1e on GondoLas

A Venetian funeral displays that
picturesque and romantic character
which has always been associated with
the ceremonies Of the city, which still
remains one of the most religious places
In Italy. according 70 the Chicago Daily
News. The grandeur Of the special
funeral barge varies, of course, with
the means Of the family, those hired
by the wealthy being very magnificent.
At the funeral of a high official of
Venice recently the coffin was placed
on a barge 80 feet in length and pro-
PEELED by four gondoliers in uniforms
Of black velvet decorated with gilded
holdings of floral design, skulls and
crossbones, and so on.
AT the stem was an angel with out
stretched wings leaning on a broken
pillar and at the stern was another
gllded figure of Time with his scythe
and hourglass The canopy in the
center, covering the coffin, was support
ed by gllded angels and at the corners
Of the roof burned four candles.
Reversing the customary usage, the
relatives and mourners precede In
stead of following the body, which is
conveyed In the funeral barge across
the half mile of water to the ceme-
terry island, the only burial ground of
the city. 1t is small place, as the
gondoliers say, but with room enough

Less Malaria in Palestine

The scourge of malaria is gradually
but surely being subdued in Palestine,
according to an official government re-
port making public the proceedings OF
a recent meeting Of the anti-malarial
advisory commission at Jerusalem,
Colonel Heron, director of health of
the Palestine government. presiding.
1t was stated that there had been
less malaria throughout Palestine in
1923 than in any previous year, and
that nowhere did 1t appear in epidemic
form, This was due to some extent to
the small rainfall during the proceed
ing winter, but chiefly to anti-malarial
measures taken.
The opinion was expressed that the
conditions now prevailing in Palestine
were the most practical demonstration
of the value and success of applied
preventive malarial work.

How Ants "SeuO" Leaves

Edward Step, f. L. S., in the Lon
don Sphere, tells about little red ant,
widely distributed through all of the
countries of the Far East and South,
which constructs shelters for its do
nestle cattle among the branches of
trees, uniting a number of leaves to-
gether by means of silken threads. A
large number of workers pull and
haul the edges of growing leaves into
position while other workers bring up
larvae from the nursery, and, holding
them in their jaws, apply the grubs'
mouths to the leaves that are to be
connected, intimating to them in some
way that they are to emit fluid silk.
The threads are drawn from leaf to
leaf, and as the silk hardens lmme-
diately upon exposure to the air,
large number of such contacts have
the value of stitches, and roomy
leaf-bag is constructed.

Fem Climb Mount Arornf

have been attacked with varying sue
cess, for generations. With an altitude
of over 1900 feet, Its precipltous sides
present difficult problems in climbing
A proposed railroad to the summit,
while within the range of engineering
possibilities, is an almost fantastic
scheme. legend persists that frag
ments of the ark still lie upon the
summit of Ararat, but the few hardy

discourage the belief Noah, after de-
scending the mountain with his ships
company, is supposed to have planted
a vineyard below the snow line, where
he was afterward buried.

Esperonto's Prospects

Although stress has been placed on
the encouraging spread of Esperanto,
II is not possible for the average per
son to believe that a universal tongue,
absolutely artificial in its origin, ever
will attain general use, or even make
enough progress to facilitate under
standing among the peoples of differ
ent speech. 1t is much more probable
that English will become the most
widely spoken of all modern languages.
However, 1t is pleasant to know that
the Esperantans have as their aim the
universal brotherhood and there is no
doubt that their work will have a
reconciling, harmonizlng effect wher-
ever II is introduced Argonaut.

Lightning and Radio

The bureau of standards states that
a radio antenna, If grounded or pro-
vided with a lightning arrester has
some of the properties of a lightning
rod, but, as commonly installed, has
these properties In such limited de-
grees that it Is not to be regarded as
effective protection against lightning.
On the other hand, on account of its
relatively small size, 1t does not ap-
probably increase the possibility of a
direct stroke A modern lightning rod
system, however, is designed and in
stalled with a view of protecting
against direct strokes, and when this is
properly done, a high degree of protec-
ton is obtained. Many lightning rods
in actual use are not properly installed,
and 1t is to these that isolated cases
of damage to rodded buildings are
usually traced.
