Detective Paint.

DESIGNED to warn mechanicians
when engine parts are over
heated, there Is a process paint,
efkalin. which turns from its light
red color to a deep brown at 20 de-
grees centigrade and to almost
black at SIS degrees. When the over
heated part is cooled the paint turns
back to its normal color. The
changing, color attracts the atten-
ton of those about, and hence gives
the opportunity of applying a little
oil at critical moment. The ma
chine itself can be thus saved from
complete destruction and all danger
of fires from over-heated machinery
eliminated.

lutionary commentator. asserts that
'in an intellectual view the former
occupies a far loftier position. 1t
stands. he states, without a model in
ancient or modern times. Grigsby
continues:
THE bill is the philosophical en-
bodiment of the elemental principles
which lie at the foundation of So
ciety and which, gathered from the
universal experience of man and re-
fined in the alembic of a mighty mind,
are digested and expressed with dis
tinctness and with a severe simplicity
ineligible alike to the young and the
old, the unlettered and the wise.
The Declaration of Independence Is
mainly a detail of wrongs so sens1bly
felt as to justify a cnange in govern
ment and therefore easily enumerated,
which required as little argument as
research, and the supreme merit of
which is that a plain tale, which, If
badly told, might have made a slight
impression on the age, has been
adorned with all the graceS with
which genius could invest it. 1t is
not in dispute whether Jefferson could
have written the Bill of Rights as we'll
as Mason did write it, nor whether
Mason could have written the Decla-
ration of Independence with the grace
of Jefferson. 1t is whether the Bill
of Rights, as q work of intellect, is
not a paper of a far higher character
than a mere declaration of the rea-
sons. however we'll put forth, which
impelled the colonies to separate from
the mother country and to assume
independence. One is the admirable
work of the political philosopher; the
other is the chaste production of the
elegant historian. 1t IS the merit of
Mason and of Jefferson that both in
their respective spheres performed
their office in such. manner as to call
forth the gratitude and admiration of
their country"
Henry Lee goes even further, some
will say too far, for IN his structures
upon jefferson he asserts:
There is more wisdom. more con-
densation of thought and energy of
reasoning in a single clause of the
Virginia Bill of Rights than in all the
works of Mr.. Jefferson put together.
This clause Is as follows: That no
man or set of men is entitled to ex.
elusive or separate emolumentS or
privileges from the Commonwealth
but in consideration of public serv-
ices, which not being descendible,
neither ought the offices of magis-
trate, legislator or juSge to be heredi-
tary.' Here is a volume of wit and
wisdom for the study of nations en-
bodied in a single sentence and ex-
pressed in the plainest language. If

 Conditions have been very discour- aging for channel swimming this year and old channel experts believe that it will be difficult for anyone 10 make successful attempt, since the water has been unusually cold and the weather unsettled.
