preparedness. Ho deprecated ' the
tappa)!big'lack of knowledge on the
i part of the- average citizen, of the
affairs of our. government, - which, as

necessity for .preparedness. ?.Herein"
said Mr. Cooper, "lies one of the
: chief - functions of " the American

FRENCH CANAL OPENED
UNDER A MOUNTAIN I
Watarway From Marseille? to Riva* j
Rhona at Last Complota, \
Tbs canal under tbe mountain be
tween- Marseilles, France, and tba
river Rbone, constituting one of tbe :
moat notable engineering achievements j
of modern times, was officially opened
tbe otber day in tbe presence of a dis-1
anguished gathering of members of tbs |
cabinet nud other .officials.- .
Hitherto Marseilles, although a great |
port of entry for tbe Mediterranean,
'bas been-walled in from central France
by a mountainous ridge that sweeps
around the northern side of the city.
The canal bi chiefly remarkable in that
it pierces this barrier,. the waterway
running for five miles in a tunnel un
der a mountain. It thus has the effect
of Unking Marseilles with island cities
such as Lyons, Avignon and Valence
and putting lt. in touch with tbe ex
tensive Inland commerce along tho|
river Rhone, It vf ill. also elvo - Marr
s?illes a direct water connection with |
Havre and the North sea. ,
The canal and its tunnel have been
under discussion for nearly a hundred
years, but actual work on them' was
not begun until 1904. The length, of
the canal ls sixty mlle.!, ard the five
mlle section under - the mountain ds
seventy-five feet wide and seventy feet
li I gb, constituting what is declared to
be the largest tunnel Interior in the
world. Barges and vessels op to OOO |
tons can navigate the canal, which,
like the Kiel canal, it is believed, v/Ul
have strategic value ia permitting the
movement of destroyers and mn:\\\
warcraft between the Mediterranean
and the North sea. The' cost ot tue
work has been about 100.000,000 francs.

New Law in London ts Outgrowth of
Zeppelin Raids.
(From the Popular Sclcnco Monthly.)
London has passed an unusual law
which requires that , baby carriages
r h i11 be equipped \ with sidelights.
While no adequate explanation is giv
es, it ts believed that the new ruling
was put Into effect because of the
darkness into which tho streets are
plunged becau?e of the fear of Zop-1
pel in raids. Baby carriage, wh'le
not .'dangerous objects are objects ot
danger and the fact, that they are
compelled by law to be equipped with
a lamp to light their way, lessens, gue ?
possibilities of collisions. Tho law
requires that the light shall show
white Jn front and red in the rear.

FREAK WALK WINS $20,000
Trip Backwards From Seattle Is
Made In ?39 Days
(Prom The New York World)
Somebody out in Seattle lost a bet
of -$20,000 when Patrick Harmon ar
rived 'at the city ball, walking back
Ward, and asked Lieut. Billy Ken
nel to confirm hu presence. Har
mon had a reflecting mirorr contrap
tlon strapped to his back and was
accompanied by W. A. Baltakor who
walked as folks usually walk-face
forward-to prove that Harmon ac
complished the feat. The feat was
walking backward ?from Seattle to
New York in 260 days. That was
the limit set, but Harmon did
in 239 days, three weekB ahead of
time. ,
Harmon, who is GO years old. an
nounced that two men in a Seattle
club had wagered' with each other
that he could not walk to New York
backward in 260. days, and backed
up their opinion with $20,000 each.
Harmon will i get $5,000 for the job
and Baltazor 54-n day for being tho
transcontinental' watchman. Harmon
feaid he had little difficulty doing .the
freak Stunt, ,but ho lost V\ days
through Illness and took two weeks
to overcome dizziness due to his un

If we all wpuld practice the

ing change would take place. In
stead of thousands of half-sick,
anaemic-looking souls with pasty^

crowds of happy, healthy, rosy^

reason ?is that the human system
does not rid itself each day of all

Just as necessary as it is to

each day, before the ftie \vill b?rn

morning clear the inside organs
