Too Soon
A distinguished writer in the east is
at work upon the maps of Europe and
Asia as they will be after the war is
closed and the settlement made.
He pictures the ships of Russia, the
warships coming and going without
hindrance through the Hellespont,
Armenia a state of Russia; Turkey in
Europe, in form of an independent
state, but in truth a dependency of
Russia; Hungary and the Balkan states
an independent power under the pro
tection of the sirrounding powers,
Poland an independent power under
like protection, Belgium an indepen
dent power with an annual indemnity
from Germany for many years to
come; Germany and Austria united
under the rule of a Reichstag made up
of delegates from all the states and
one of the Hohenzollerns as Emperor;
Great Britain given all Egypt and the
Holy Land, and all the former pos
sessions of Germany in East Africa;
Italy with a slice of territory from
Southern Austria added.
The writer is premature in his work.
When the war began it waB the
dream of Germany to command the
ports on the North, the Baltic, the
Adriatic and Mediterranean seas and
through them them the world’s com
merce.
It was Great Britain’s dream to
capture or destroy the German navy
and win back such of the world’s
trade as she had lost. Those dreams
possess both powers still and unless a
world's congress intervenes and makes
some new rules for the government of
nations, there will be no sign of peace
for a good while yet. Many more
battles will be fought, and the final
settlement will come not from the ex
haustion of the armies, but of the peo
ple behind the aumies.
What lesson was meant for the
nations when the wat was permitted
to be launched upon the world is not
yet revealed.—Goodwin's Weekly.
Rich Rancher Crushed
To Death Under Auto
The Dalles, Or. Aug. 15.—Peter
Godfrey, one of the most prominent
ranchers in Wasco county, was fatally
hurt in an automobile accident this
morning and died within 20 minutes.
Alone in his machine, Mr. Godfrey
was drivingjnear his home five miles
south of this city. He evidently lost
conttol of the automobile and it went
off the grade, turned over and landed
on top of him. He never regained
consciousness. No one witnessed the
accident. Ira Waterman, a rancher
who was working a short distance
from the scene of the accident, heard
the sound of a motor for so long a
time tn the same place that be investi
gated, and found the dying man pinned
beneath his own car.
Film Picture Freak«.
Freak pictures are usually the result
of clever manipulation of the camera
or the tlliu. Articles or individuals can
be made to Instantly disappear by stop
ping the camera while the article is
removed or the person walks off the
stage, the other characters holding
their pose until the camera Is again
put in motion. In some films in which
a person is thrown from a height or
is apparently crushed under u steam
roller the effect Is gained by the live
person walking away after the camera
is stopped and a dummy substituted to
undergo the death penalty.
By projecting the picture nt n faster
rate than it was taken excruciating
comic scenes are sometimes devised.
Au automobile going ten miles an hour
by speeding up the projection machine
mny be made to apparently move at
100 miles an hour, and by Increasing
the same way tile apparent speed of
persons dodging the demoniac auto ex
cecdlngly ludicrous effects are bad.
By mechanical means in combining
two or more negatives into one posi
tive a man can be shown fencing with
himself or even cutting his own head
off.—Philadelphia Press.
Gold In Carats.
We often hear people in speaking of
their watches say, “It Is an 18 carat
case." Others speak of 14 carat watch,
es or 22 carat or solid gold rings. When
you see the marks on a watch case or
the Inside of a gold ring they read 18 K.
or 14 K., or whatever number of carats
the maker wishes to indicate. A piece
of gold Jewelry marked 18 K., or 18
carats, means that it is three-fourths
pure gold. In arranging this basis of
marking things made of gold abso
lutely pure gold Is called 24 carats.
Then if two, six or ten twenty-fourths
of alloy has been added the amount of
the alloy is deducted from twenty-
four, and the result is either 22, 18 or
14 carats flue, and so on. On ordinary
articles made by Jewelers the amount
of pure gold used is seldom over 18
carats, or three-fourths. Wedding rings
(and these are considered solid gold)
are generally made 22 carats fine—
that is, there are only two twenty
fourths parts of alloy in them.
Words.
Words nre used for various purposes
—to evade issues, to put peoplo to
sleep, to break up homos, to present
literature and to conceal ideas. Noth
ing exceeds like words.
Words nre used in speeches, debates
and stories. Massed in serried groups
in newspapers and text books they pre
vent people from learning anything.
Last words nre most effective and are
employed exclusively by women and
prominent citizens who are dying.
Words nre nothing In themselves, but
only in their relationship to other
words. It is the system of putting
them together that counts. Most words
are like unorganized militia. In war
the mortality among them Is fearful.
They never win lintties. When words
nre found In regular nrmy style, how
ever. disciplined and experienced, they
are likely to bo invincible.- Judge.

Measuring Elestricity.
The terms volt, ampere, ohm, watt
and farad, met with in works on elec
tricity, mean very little to most people,
'ilie volt is the milt of electrical pres
sure, the umpere the unit of current
strength, the ohm the unit of resist
ance, the watt the unit of electric pow
er, and the least of all known, farad,
the unit of electrical capacity.
Current strength Is determined by di
viding the pressure by the strength;
thus the number of amperes of current
strength is equal to the number of volts
divided by the number of ohms. The
watt indicates the amount of electric
energy being used when an ampere of
current is flowing under a pressure of
one volt. However, the term kilowatt,
or 1,000 watts, is more generally used.
The unit of electrical capacity, the
farad, wiU contain one ampere of cur
rent at one volt pressure for one second
of time. The farad Is divided into a
million equal parts, each part termed
the microfarad, and this is the term
most used in stating electrical capacity.

The Wild Camel of Spain.
Who would imagine that there are
wild camels in Spain, and in a part of
Spain which Is flooded during a great
part of the year? Yet the thing is
vouched for by the authors of “Unex
plored Spain." The explanation is that
"the animals were introduced to Spain
In 182!) by the Marquis of Villafranca,
with the object of employing them in
transport and agriculture, as they are
commonly used on the opposite shores
of Africa. Hut local difficulties en
sued, chiefly arising from the intense
fear and repugnance of horses toward
camels, which resulted in numerous
accidents, and eventually the bactrians
were set free in tlie inarlsma, where

The Greatest Celebration in Years
Monopole and Red Ribbon
Japan’s Curious Museum.
Probably the very oldest museum In
the world Is that nt Nara, the ancient
cnpltal of Japan. It was founded In the
year 756 A. D„ and all the articles
therein are of an earlier ilntrf for. al
though Nara has gone through all the
vicissitudes of the empire, not one new
article has been added to the collec
tion. The museum is In safe and care
ful custody, and its doors are aliened
only once every year. On that day a
committee goes over the collection, tab
ulates it and compares tile list with
those made previously. The 3,000 ar
tides in the collection are of lacquer
ware, decorative furniture, enamel
ware, cambric like fabrics and of other
kinds and are among the very finest
of their species that the world has pro
duced. Some come from China and
some from Korea, but most of them
appear to have been brought from lands
further afield.

Electric Sparks
(From Off Our Wireless)
Tuxedo fans are always loyal to that one brand, superb
and royal. They say, “What is the use of trying the
other kinds, and sample buying? We know Tuxedo
can’t be beaten; it’s good as bread, when bread is wheaten;
it keeps us all in cheerful humor, and makes of each an
an ardent boomer; it with a blissful
peace annoints us; Tuxedo never dis
appoints us. It is the worker’s one
consoler, when Business, with its big
steam roller, has run him down and
left him jaded, with all his dreams and
prospects faded. ’Tis then Tuxedo
smooths the wrinkles, and to his sad
eyes brings the twinkles, and braces
him for future battles, down where the
loom of commerce rattles.” These
fans are found in every station, in every trade and oc-
cupation; the able jurist and the baker, the boss of
many a rolling acre, the butcher, as he sells his
rasher, the banker and the haber
dasher, the cattleman in far Laredo,
all pin their faith to good Tuxedo.

Deutschland came and went. Score
one for Germany.
Villa is beginning to qualify as the
great international spook.
On the other hand, Europe has not
had to endure an Orpet trial.
However, is not “supersubmarine"'
a contradiction in prefixes?
People who were kicking for some
hot weather are still kicking, but not
I for the same reason.
Even a great world war can hardly
i be excused from starving the helpless
women and children of Poland.
Not to be put out of the running by
the rest of the political leaders,
Charles Evans Hughes lets it be known
that he is also a grandfather.
For a man who has been killed six
times and who is even now forced to
go around an crutches, Panche Villa is
singularly hard to catch.
One thing pleasant about the sub
marine passenger trans-Atlantic ocean',
liner is the fact that it has no swim
ming tank and room for very little
caste.
Probably 200 supersubmarines of the
Deutschland type could carry one fair
sized ship cargo. It is not yet time to
throw a fit.
Poet who tried to rhyme “embargo”
with Chicago evidently has swallowed

Tloumnnia has a thinking part in

A “Get Together” meeting in Mexico
means that trouble is brewing.
The Deutschland might find profit

One sure way to reduce the cost of

Secretary Lansing having gone on ■
