Augusta Chronicle. But can a man, un^.er any. circumstances. be praised for taking the life' of a fellow man? Newspapers which I "have been discussing a New Rork homi- ! ! <jide are asking the question. The ever conservative Hartford Times is one of them, and it goes so *.far as to ask: ! "'If the case is stated correctly, does lie not deserve praise rather than ' "blame?" The brother was once a sailor^ having been an enlisted man in the navy. He is, or was, a hard drinker. When Tn hie nnna 110 irivariablv made his way to Ihis. mother's home, there to: abuse his kinsmen. Sober, he never 1 put in appearance. He at one time deserted from the navv, but was captured and was punished. He always asserted that his sister "turned him -up," and, with this belief rankling "within him, wfaen foe became drunk, he proceeded to his mother's home to ""even things up." Quoting The World: "He shambled into the house last night and announced in a loud voice: " 'I am looking for a rat/ Then he attacked his sister and hurled her to the floor. "Mrs. Henry pleaded with John not to Kill his sister. He knocked his mother down. James, who was in an other room, entered and grappled witi'a his brother. The latter seized James' left ear in his teeth. Getting free, James went to a front room and got a revolved. "John again attacked his mother and sister. Several times he felled them with I is fist when they tried to run from the room. Woen James returned John made for him. Mrs. Henry and 'Miss Margaret took advantage of this to flee from the house. They heard James say: " 'Now. John, stand back, or I'll have to kill you.' "Joi n defied him to s^-oot and closed in on him. James pulled the trigger and John fell with a bullet in his ab domen." The boy who did the shooting promptly surrendered to the police. The prosecuting attorney has delved deeply into ti e homicide\and is nonplussed. The officer does not hesitate to say that his investigation has disclosed the facts as the newspaper story nrpspnfs them. The law does not contemplate that a citizen s&all take into his ownl-ands the-duty of administering the law. At the same time it doesn't expect that a man can be other than human. Xo man is going to permit a 'drunken per son to come into the home of his mother to beat, insult and abuse her. It is s>hown that this was done time and time again. Some of those who have discussed the matter adversely criticise the young brother that he did not shoot, and shoot to kill, before the day when ihe took his brother's life. The taking of human lite is an awiui act. There are those wfco in this day denounce the legal taking of life?the exacting by law of a life for a life. If every citizen takes it upon himself to administer the law, the law becomes a mockery and a jest. But who will call for the punishment of this young man in New York?

THREE DAYS IN ONE This Queer Condition Lasts Half an Hour Every Day. > r-r? r- * \f r\ t~ O I I A HI P IHIP TIMr A rr.LHi\ ur unniMunxu iiivil. When It Is Noon on Monday In London, Tuesday Has Just Begun fit Cape Deshnef, Siberia, but Sunday Has Not Yet Ended at Attu Island. Three clays can exist at the same rime.' It sounds impossible, but it is nevertheless ;i fact that when it is very late Sunday night at Attu island it is Mnnil:iv noon at London and Tuesday morning ;it Cape Deshnef, Siberia! Jf one travels westward one loses a day in going round the world. If one travels eastward one gains a day. Could one travel at tlie rate of 15 degrees a day one would lose exactly one hour each day. In twenty-four days the circuit would he complete. Inasmuch as sun and earth are con stantly revolving and day merging into night, Sunday passing into Monday, etc.. it is obvious that at one point on the world's surface :m arbitrary line must be set. to the east of which is oue day. to the west of which is the next clay. Tins immediate "jump ui u uuj regulates the calendar for one circumnavigating: the globe. This 'international date line." as it is called, passing north and south and dividing our world into two equal parts. is the one hundred and eightieth meridian and crosses tbe Pacific ocean? where, fortunately, there is very little land?taking a slight bulge outward to include Siberia, and one the other way to include Artu island, which belongs to Alaska geographically. The map will show this. West of this line is Monday and .vist of it is Sunday. When it is noon on Monday in Lon/inn Tno?d:ir hns silreadv bpcrun at Cape Deshnef. Siberia, but Monday morning has not yet dawned at Attn island. Nearly half an hour of Sunday still remains there. We are thus confronted with rhe paradox of three days coexisting at the same time. We must remember that every day begins at midnight If we could travel round rhe world at the same rate that it travels, beginning our flight at noon, it would be perpetually noon all the way round! Yet we should lose a day. While at any particular point on the surface of the earth a 'day is twentyfour hours long, every day, as a matter of fact, lasts forty-eight hours? sometimes even -longer. This seems another contradiction. Yet it can be explained. v ??t? rriran Ht? cor PKriefmn <5 hp ?"1 1 1w i * V. iJ VIU%1 ? CUJ VU4 wvu.Mvf gins (as tb.it day) immediately west of the TSOtb parallel. One hour later Christmas day begins 1") degrees west of the date liire. two hours later 30 degrees wost of the line and so on found the globe. Those living just west of the date line would have enjoyed twelve hours of Christmas when it reached England, eighteen hours when it began in the uiiirea sraues aim iwenyiuur uuuis .(a whole day) when it began in Alaska. Already Christmas had existed twenty-four hours on this globe, but having just begun in western Alaska it will last there twenty-four hours longer. We have just seen that each day lasts for forty-eight hours. As a matter of fact, a day lasts in some places more than forty-nine hours. This is because of the irregularity of the date line previously mentioned. Let us begin an imaginary journey from Cape Deshnef. Siberia, at midnight. As midnight sweeps westward successive places see the beginning of the day. When the day begins m London it has been that same day at Cape Deshnef twelve hours and forty-five minutes. When this same day arrives at Attu island it has been twenty-five hours and twelve minutes since it began officially at Cape Deshnef. Since the day will then last twenty-four hours at Attu island, before it is spent forty-nine hours and twelve minutes will have elapsed from the beginning of thftday until rhf> finip it closes. Thus three days can exist at one time. ;is before explained.?Hereward Carrington in New York World. Poor Literary Pay.

It is a sad and common experience to men in motorboats. automobiles, etc.. to find that something is wrong with the spark. Often it is the case thai when the spark plug is taken out and tested in air it shows up all right, and I will ignite gasoline pourtu arouuu u, j j but when put back into position it will. j not work. This is a puzzle to a great | many people today. The reason lies in the simple fact ! that the spark, when it takes place in j ' '1 ? ?a-? u.'.r, t.iMivl- rnmt>ro?s. i j ed gas. and when in the air it doesn't j j It is a well known scientific fact that; | the pressure of the gas determines how j far a spark will jump under a given ' voltage It' the spark jum[>ed a quar-j ter inch in the open air and was placed 1 in a vessel with most of the air pumfK?d out. it would jump several inches; and. on the other hand, if placed in compressed air it would not jump more ! than a fraction of the quarter inch. Of' I course the thins to do in the circum- \ stances is to get new batteries, and if! so situated that that is impossible the! two little terminals of the spark plug should be pushed closer together. Then the spark wili pass in the compressed gas inside the cylinder. If explosion does not take place then j the spark is probably so small thnt it is wholly immersed either in air or in the gasoline vapor, and to have an explosion it must be immersed in a mixture of tbe two. The carburetor should J then be tinkered with. The probabil! ities are that a part of the time exI plosions will take place and will be ! sufficient to keep up a forward motion at reduced speed.?Chicago, Herald. || Backache jl IUI of Russell ville, Ala., says: IIII UU "For nearly a year, I suf- 1X1 I fered with terrible back- 3 ache, pains in my limbs, I and my head ached nearly I all the time.
