?Another Antlgaa Invention.
"Neutralizing ointment" Is one of
the latest war Inventions. It is pub
licly revealed In an official descrip
tion of the protective devices against
gas attacks, now being Issued to our
troops.
The mask, with Its contained Chem
icals for neutralizing any poisonous
fumes that creep In, is familiar. But
one so-called gas 'is a liquid, and be
cause of Its blistering effect the sol
diers have given It the name "mustand
fT?C ?
gas.
When an area Is drenched with
this stuff the menace may persist for
many days. The peril is not from the
liquid Itself. Mustard gas burns
through the clothing, and makes pain
ful wounds where the flesh is reached.
The newly invented ointment must ap
parently be rubbed all over the body,
as well as on face and hands, to pro
tect tho soldier when the enemy's

MUCH LIKE OTHiR WRITERS
Fielding's Methods pf Composition
Differed Little From Those of the
Better Known Men *f Letter*.
FMdlng'a metlioda of composition
were not very different from those of
other uivu who make literature their
Profession, according t? Wilbur Cross
In Yalo Review, Whether a writer
proceeds slowly or rapidly depends up
on a variety of cUcuinstaneea, Much
of his work must he done under pres
sure. and whe^n such work la Success
ful he Is usually not averse to telling
the public how quickly It waa thrown
off. Shakespeare has the reputation
of writing "The Morry Wives of Wind*
?or" in a fortnight In order to please
a quoon who could no longer wait to
see how FalstafT would behave whfeu
in love; and Mollere, it la said, aaked
for no more than three day8 for the
composition of a farce urgently de
manded by the players. Likewise
Fielding in "Kurydlce Hlaa'd" led his
audience to infer that he waa good for
nine acenea of a farce every day when
at hia best, while at other times hia
muse treated him badly. In another
mood he gave hia readera the Impres
sion that 'Tom Jones" waa composed
at full leisure aa befits a ina8terptece,
though he probably uever wrote more
pages a day than when engaged upon
that novel. Taken with what he said
when more off hia guard his works are
evidence that he experienced all the
pleasures, all the labors, all the trou
bles, which have made the literary ca
reer a mixture of delight and pain to
every one who has followed It serious
ly aa a source for bread.
SPORT IS WORTH WATCHING
National Ball Qa^ie of the Baeque
Mountalneera That Calla for All
Sorta of Resourceful Work.
However modest as a geographical
unit may be the Basque mountalneera
of the Pyrenees, there . remains to
their credit a national ball game that
will yield nothing to the finest sport
ing afforta of the Anglo-Saxon people,
whether In the matter of pure recrea
tion or of spectacular interest. The
tourbtllon-llke movement with which
the player, the pelotarl, swings round
to catapult the ball wtth backhanded
fling to the great wall eighty yards
away la no less graceful than the
sweeping hurl of the discobolus, while
the vigorous contest under the lee of
the wall, where the ball la shot fr$m
the "chlstera," the curved wickerwork
glove, with marvelous rapidity, affords
an unlimited display of resourceful
tactics. . The referee, bright-colored
beret on head, sings the score In set
refrain and the applause thunders
from the crowd as Chlqulto, or Mel
chlor, or some other national hero T)f
this "pelote basque" game earns hie
meed of praise.
Poetry Simpler Than Proee.
Poetry only nnlvely acknowledges
the ecstatic monotony that lives Id
the henrt of all rhythm, brings It ont
Into the light, and there openly weaves
upon It the patterns of melodic sound.
Poetry Is thus the more natural, and
both historically and psychologically
the more primitive of the two arts. It
Is the more simple. Meter, and even
rhyme, which Is but a colored, light
drumbeat, accentuating the meter, are
not "ornaments" or "refinements" or
something else which may bo called
"rhythmical speech." They are the
heart of rhythmic speech expressed
and exposed with a perfectly child
like and candid grandeur. Prose is
the refinement. Prose Is the sophisti
cated and studio accompaniment ? a
thing that Infinite numbers of people
have not the fineness of endowment or
cultivation either to write or read.
Prose is a civilized sublimation of po
etry, In which the original healthy In
toxicant note of the tomtom is so
laid over with fine traceries of related
sound that It can no longer be Iden
tified at ali except by the analytical
eye of science. ? New Republic.
Britisf) Self Control.
Behind * every manifestation of
thought or emotion the Briton retains
control of self." and 'Is' thinking:
"That's all Pi I let them see," even :
?That's all I'll let myself feel." This
stoicism is good in Its refusal to be
foundered ; bad In that It fosters a
narrow outlook ; starves emotion, spon
taneity and frank sympathy ; destroys
grace nnd what one may describe
roughly hs the lovable side of person
ality. The English hardly evfer say
Just what comes Into their heads*
What we call "good form," the unwrit
ten law which governs certain classes
of the Briton savors of the dull and
glacial ; but there lurks within It a
core of virtue. It has grown up like
callous shell round two fine Ideals ?
suppression of the ego lest It tram
ple oh the corns of other people ; and
exaltation of the maxim : "Deeds be
fore words." ? John Oalsworthy.
Fountains in Lisbon.
A delightful feature that attracts tht
attention In Ltsbon, the capltnl of Por
tugal, is the many fountains to b?
found everywhere. Here are figures
of Neptune, or obelisks of marble;
there ai^e a sculptured Venus and
Adonis, And again, as on the Largo dc
Carmo, an original erection In the form
of a temple, and elsewhere simply thf
hollowed shell and a faucet wltfc
chained cup. Some of them are beau
tlful, sll are Interesting by reason ol

around them to draw and /etch water
