WOOL FOR SILK. ^ THE DOG BEUEVES. DISCOURAGING PILOTS. In Chicago, where this is written, oo’iu G. kheuu yesterday signed his name to an agreement under which he will supply $2,000,000 to build the world's largest aquarium, iri 'Qrant Park. Thus, all over the United States, men that have worked hard all their lives, and built up fortunes with the help of tho. people, give back the money to the people among whom they earned it. Mr. Shedd’s gift of a great aquarium is money well spent. It will increase the supply qf pub lic information. If to the exhibition of strange creatures of the oceans and lakes the John G. Shedd gift could in clude some plan for economical distribution among the people of the food that comes from the ocean, that Wouid add to the value of'■the gift. • A plan to get rid of sharks that destroy billions of valuable fisb every year, and the small, savage whales that prey upon the great schools of salmon in the North west would be worth millions in increased food value. Farmers are encouraged by news that makers of artificial silk will require great quantities of medium grade wool, to mix with wood fibre. The trade in artificial silk is do lined to be enormous. If the farmer raising and shearing sheep can compete with Asiatics, raising silk worms, he may enjoy a new kind of prosperity. This nation needs an air fdree controlled by men that under stand flying, men that are inter ested in the difference between an all metal monoplane ahd a weak cloth made biplane, more than in qeat uniforms, or servile saluting. # % Providence, taking care of the birds, put in charge of them the brains of birds, not'the brains of rabbits or turtles. Why should this nation, depend ing for its safety in war, upon flying machines and flying men, put the nation’s flying department under the control of human rab bits from the navy or turtles from the army? Not far from the train on which thi> is written in Arkansas City, Kans., there lives a dog, name un known,' and all the rest of his life that dog will believe in miracles. His owner probably dead by this time, was Warren Hardy, man of quick temper. Seizing his shotgun # by the end of the barrel, Hardy hit the dog with the butt. Neither he nor the dog knew the gun was loaded. Hardy is in the hospital, and probably won’t recover. All In' one second the dog felt the blow, heard the explosion, saw his cruel master strefcched on the groutol. Knowing nothing about gunpowder, that dog will always believe in miracles,■ and also in a special providence that avenges dogs, when they are hit with the butt end of a gun. It is foolish, however, to .say the less you understand the more readily you believe ia miracles. The radio is a genuine miracle of science, and it takes intelli gence to understand it. A savage wouldn’t understand it or believe in it. He would simpily say “witchcraft” and go his way. In old days, when the City of Paris, compared to modern Paris, was a small town, thousands died of smallpox in a year. In the year just passed there was no death from smallpox, and only three very mild cases. Paris enforces vaccination' most strictly. Children in the primary school*, infants, 50,000 hospital pa tients, are some of those vacci nated. , And in Paris smallpox doesn’t exist. Te what do gentlemen that oppose vaccination attribute that fact? I* it just accident? i* a prescription for Malaria, Chills ' L- \ and Fever, Dengue er Billions Fever.
