Uprrihle, But Welcome Our navy will make, experiments with what is called the "death stroke," an interesting invention guaranteed to destroy all life with uhich it come* in contact within a radius of twenty miles. It is 'horrible but welcome. Make war dangerous enough and war will stop, Don't ibe lie ve -the ignorant mil lions who think that a thing always will be, because it always has boon. Two men pointing automatic pis tols at each other's hearts don't shoot. That, only happens when one of them gets the drop. Mr. Aldrich, prosperous lawyer, is sued for . divorce. His vvi tV alkies ci uelty. Ho replies, "My only cruelty was almost stoning her to death with jewelry." He spent $175, 000 on jewelry, gave .the lady a $115, 000 sable coat, a chinchilla coat cost ing $8,000, and securities worth $100, 000. The lady replies that not sablos, not jewels, nut securities, not even the fur of the chinchilla, most in teresting littlfl. animal,, can give real happiness. She's right. But in this world we measure everything with money. The lady's lawyer, George Gordon Battle, demands for her alimony of $75,000 a year. The court can give her that; it cannot give her love and affection. One Minute After I Died 1 William Jennings Bryan made many speeches worth hearing, and the world applauded.

(Quality, IMiis Advertising The British Government, to fight depression in British trade, will un dertake international world advertis ing on a gigantic scale. This proves again what everybody knows, that Great Britain has statesmen work ing for her. Five billion dollars will be appro priated at first to boom colonial goods. The idea of the British Um pire, solid and sound as a steel bul let, is that quality, plus advertising, can overcome any trade depression. Anybody can standi poverty, be cause almost everybody is torn pel led to stand it. We have plenty of prac tice.

Humble Clam Usee Tool* to Build Home Tli* us* of tools by so lowly a crea ture a a a clam Is described by L>r. l> T. Marshall In 1-ong Inland ldfe. There is a species of clftnu called n plddock, which bores holes In hard (lay and soft rock and spends its life tt? the cavity so mad*. The plddock burrows Its home in the rock by con stautly turning its rasplike shell In the cavity. This explanation Is all very wrfll nfier the hole is started, but lion about (lie beginning of the hole beTwr* tlie plddock could get in to turu round . The plddock begins the hole by rub blng the surface with its foot, or, as one may as accurately describe It. with Its hand, la which It holds n handful of snnd grains. Is not this just uh much making use of a tool as the action of the housewife who uses a handful of sand to scour a pot? Two Imogen in Metal I saw once lying side by aide In a great workshop two heads made of metal. The one was perfect; all the features of a noble, manly face came out clear and distinct In their line* of <>st rength and beauty; in t'he other scarcely a single feature could be rec ognized; It was all marred and spoiled "The metal had been let grow u 1 1 1 1 1 ;?

Canon Tel gninouth Shore. Silver Conductor ? Many questions are constantly helng received which refer to tlie desir ability of using silver as a conductor In radio receivers. The answer is that silver is the best conductor of cle.c-. triciiy known and has several advan tages over any other conductor. Most metals, such as copper, brass, etc.. are khI jeot |m corrosion. This corrosion, which forms on the surface of the metal. ? really increases the resist ance >f the conductor to radio fre quency currents, which travel on t lie surface. This is not true in the case of silver. Silver oxide, which i* the i orrosion which forms on silver. i> an ? ?xcelleiil Conductor of elect ilcity.
