A tour of this charming II Ince of Alsace leaves no doubt In nnn's mina about its utter Joy over helm: once more in the arms of the mother country. Whatever doubt one may have had, a visit to the cities, villages and country dlalrlcts of Alsace re moves this uncertainty, and everywhere me native Alsatiun lias demonstrated his enthusiasm nnd ardor for the French republic, writes Carlisle Mac- Donald In the New York Herald. hlnce the armistice ninny worldwlse persons hnve gone to Alsnce to seek proor or their skepticism, only to re main and sing the "Marseillaise" nnd Join In Ihe more or less continuous celebration which has been coin; throughout Alsnce since the German domination was removed. There Is no question about Itthe people are aen. ulnely glad to be once more Joined to r-rnnee. Makes Tour as France's Guest. I have just completed a comnrehen- slve survey of Alsnce In comtianv with a large party of allied correspondents, during which we were the guests of tne I'rencn government and the chief officials of Alsace. Leaving Paris by special train, we went direct to Strass bourg, where the whole city was be- flngged and en fete. A luncheon wns tendered by the municipality and Inter we visited the delightful old Veuetlan quarter of the city, the cathedral, with Its famous clock, and the tomb of Mar shal Snxe. In the evening we were the guests of the French high commissioner, Mr. Marlnger, at a large banquet. While the plate still bore the German eagle, the hearts of those present nnd senti ments expressed by the speakers wore unmistakably French. Native Alsa tians, who had lived through the en tire German occupation, rejoiced that the German menace had been removed and expressed the firm hope that never again would Boche soldiers cross the Rhine. The most prominent men of Strasbourg were present at the ban quet and the whole spirit of the event was French. We were plensantly surprised to he introduced to a large group of pretty Alsatian girls, members of the best families, who came to the French gov ernment building following the ban quet. The charm and vlvaclousness of ihe girls, who were nttired in the na tive costume of Alsace, soon made us forget there was such a thing as a peace conference or a council of ten. Later the assembled company joined hands and danced the native farandole revel, the jazz being forgotten in the enthusiasm for the old dance. Torchlight Parade for Visitors, Another interesting event of the eve ning In our honor wns a torchlight pa rade formed by thousands of Stras- hourgers and several bands. The pro cession passed the French building In review and went winding through the quaint old streets of Strasbourg, the marchers singing and shouting. This was no new. affair, as I learned later, for ever since the armistice hardly a week lias passed that there has not been several of these demonstrations. All classes join in them and they are truly representative of the spirit of the Alsatians. After the dance the festivities were continued at a kermesse, or large fair, attended by several thousand persons. A tableau, symbolic of the return of Alsnce to France, brought forth pro longed applause and cheers. After this we paid a short visit to Germany, just across the Rhine from Strasbourg. There we saw the Ger man at home, and I must say that there were few who did not seem per fectly well fed and contented under French occupation. When questioned they all ask for "fett." Returning, we inspected the docks at Strasbourg, which the Alsatians hope to develop. Leaving Strasbourg wn visited Colmnr nnd Mulhouse, and at both places were enthusiastically welcomed by the citi zens. Considerable ground was covered In an automobile ride through beautiful agricultural districts and picturesque little villages. During the entire trip we were able to meet and talk with many Alsatians in all walks of life, so that the impressions we received were the result of a rather wide range of thought Fear Serious Economic Condition. While all this happiness over the re- torn to France la real and sincere, Al sace Is faced with the most difficult questions in her history, created large ly because of the new order of things. Ever since Alsace was taken over by Germany, la 1871, virtually all the trade of the province has been to the East, with Germany and her allies. With the stroke of a pen, so to speak, Alsace has terminated these trade re- j HAD ODD TIME MEASURERS Various Ways by Which the Ancient Kept Some Track of the Fast Fleeting Hours, Sacred history furnishes the earli est reference to anything like a fixed and permament time measurer. Isaiah speaks of the dial of Ahar which went ten degrees backward, and this dial. It lias been conjectured, waa a tall and slender column, which cast a shadow on a scries of steps with which it waa encircled. The Egyptians, too, are credited with having used their monoliths, such as Cleopatra's needle, as time measurers. However, the Chaldeans had other methods of measuring time, for they, as well as the contemporary Hindoos, and very likely the Egyptians, were acquainted with the water clock, or clepsydra, which measured time after. the fashion of the hour glass, water taking the place of sand. Indeed, It Is believed that the Egyp tians actually had hour glasses, for upon one of the bas-reliefs which have ci.mo to light after their long inter ment of 3,000 years or more Is an object which those learned to such matters assure us can be nothing else than a sand glass. In principle the clepsydra was noth ing but a rod floating upon water, which was slowly dropping from an orifice in the vessel In which It was contained. Certain divisions were marked upon the rod, and a fixed pointer served the purpose of a clock linmL But the Greeks, who seem to have used them on every possible occasion, expended much labor and artistic skill upon their manufacture. Some times they were groups of children, the escaping water representing the falling tears of some of their number, while ethers pointed out the time with a wand. MEMORABLE GAME OF CARDS Said to Havo Suggested System of Life Insurance to Eminent French Mathematician. A gnnie of cards is said to have sug gested the system of life insurance now so universal, according to London Answers. A Flemish nobleman in the seven teenth century tried to divide equitably the cush staked upon nn interrupted game of chance. He was helped in his attempt by Pascal, a distinguished French mathematician, who solved the problem. In doing so he also solved the "doctrine of probabilities" or laws governing insurances of all kinds. The idea can be illustrated by the throwing of a dice, the chance of turn ing up an ace being one out of six. In a Inrge number of throws the chances are in the same proportion. From this Pascul laid down the proposition that results which have happened in given number of observed cases w again happen in similar circumstances, provided the numbers be sufficient for the proper working of the law of aver ages. The life of a person is one of the greatest uncertainties, hut the dura' tion or rate of mortality of a large number of persons may be predicted with the greatest accuracy by compari son with the observed result among a sufficiently large number of persons of similar ages and occupations and sub ject to similar climatic influences. Song Inspired by Poster? It Is an interesting bit of history, In view of the importance of posters as an Inspiration and interpretation of patriotism, that the Marseillaise was inspired by a contemporary poster. At first thought one might Imagine that the art of. the poster, as it is now un derstood, was unknown in 1702, but the proclamation of the mayor of 8 trass bur, with Its terse, ringing sentences, beginning "To arms, citizens!" was no doubt as effective as the posters pro duced In 1018. Posted on the city walls, as Jean Rlchcpln of the French academy has Just pointed out, the words of the proclamation directly In spired Rouget fie Lisle In the composi tion of the "Marseillaise," .r, as it was first called, "The War Song of the Annies of the Rhine." Later the con vention ot Paris entitled it the "Hymn of Marseilles," but the public promptly, named it "La Mnrseilbilse," and It might almost be sold to have set the mayor's poster to music. Christian Science Monitor. Red Rag to a Bull. How many people know the real meaning of the phrase "Like red rag to a bull?" Why should a bull, or any other crea ture, he enraged when a piece of scar let cloth Is flaunted before them? For bulls are not alone In this. Sheep, usu ally so meek and gentle, will appar ently liecome transported with rage If they see anything of this color. Geese and turkeys are similarly affect ed the former even hnvlng been known to attack a scarlet-clad child. The excitement anlmols display In such circumstances Is similar to that caused by the smell of blood. Here Is the theory: The color reminds the animals of blood, an association which Invariably suggests bodily discomfort and hurt. So they express their terror by the only means they possess. , Weather Talk, Mrs. Flatbush They say some peo ple can talk of nothing but the weath er. Mrs. Bensonhurst Well, I believe It.
