0 A SCIENTIFIC HOAX. THE HOOD:KIVER Soldiers Tliey and J Acl Sailors .-"- Asa Don't A Guard Want c j Against War ) Conflict c- ? ' "' ( I J By Rear Admiral BRADLEY A. F1SKE of the United States Navy AH is not so much a disease as it is a SYMPTOM OF DIS EASE a symptom of that general rivalry and struggle which characterizes not only human nature, but all nature. The modern doctor knows quite well, because the bit ter experience of the past ages has taught him that GETTING RID OF SYMPTOMS DOES NOT CUKE DISEASE. It is necessary that ho should go deeper. And when I say these things they do not in dicate that I and other naval people do not realize war's evils. I am merely pointing out that there has been so great an outcry against war that people have begun to THINK IT IS THE ROOT OF EVIL "That is not what the Bible says. It say? the love of money is the root of evil. And who shall say that love money is not MORE STRIKINGLY EXEMPLIFIED IN TIMES OF PEACE than it ever has been in a camp or on a battlefield ? BUT 60LDIER3 DONT WANT WAR. SAILORS DONT WANT WAR. THEY DO NOT MEAN WAR EITHER; THEY MEAN PEACE. YET IT IS THE FACT OF THEIR EXISTENCE WHICH IS CAUSING ALL THE OUTCRY, FOR THEIR EXISTENCE MEANS EXPENSE, AND IT IS REALLY AGAINST THEIR COST THAT THE GREAT OUTCRY HAS BEEN RAISED. REALLY THEIR MISSION IS TO FIRST LOCAL IZE AND THEN PREVENT CONFLICT. The Steel Cating Worm and the Origin of th Mythical Inseot. A letter published Id the New York Engineering Newa from Mr.- EL Gyb bon Kpllsbury give tbe origin of the myth regarding tbe "steel eating worm." About 18(10, be any a, em ployees of varloua Iron, steel and chemical works of the district aur roundlug Ilnspe, Id Germany, used to meet at a botel In order to discuss ubjects of general Interest, with tbe result that a society known aa tbe "Dlk," which In English signifies "fun," was formed. The steel eating worm waa created at one of the meetings and an editor from one of the neighboring towna was made tbe subject of the Joke. Tbe 'insect'' was manufactured from a piece of gutta percha tube and waa ex hibited Jn a bottle half full of scale. Tbe woYin waa filled with dilute hy drochloric acid and when properly dis turbed with a glass rod It would emit a drop of tbe acid, which, on attacking tbe scale, served to prove that tbe cor rosion was due to a secretion of tbe worm and that the ozldea formed Its food Tbe editor accepted the exhibit In good faith and published an account of the alleged discovery, with the con sequence that It reappeared In many other Journals and bus since been re produced elsewhere at varying Intervals An Incident of Old Japan. On March 24. 1WW. an English minis ter was for the Brst time received with ceremony by the mikado, and tbe story of that reception illustrates remarkably the transformation of Japan nnder Mut suliito It had been fixed for the pre vious day. but on his way to tbe palace Sir Harry Piirkes was fiercely attacked by two Japanese swordsmen. So sud den and furious was the assault that nine of tbe eleven men of the escort were wounded. Tbe nose of Mr. Sa to w's pony and Sir Ilarry's belt were cut but Sir Harry himself was nnin J ii red and pursued one of tbe assail Hr.ts Mr. Kreeman-Mltford "found him at the angle of the street with the headless body of one of our enemies at his feet" The other, a samurai, was degraded and executed; the reception came off next day. and the mikado Is sued a decree forbidding all assaults upon foreigners.

"No one comes to see me," said she I wearily, "as tbey did before I was . married." "Speaking of tbat fact." said he, "I used to call on you seven evenings In j tbe week at that time But 1 am aa bad off as you -I now have nowhere j to go " I Moving. fie read the letter twice and then said. "This Is cue of the most moviuR j pieces of literature I ever aaw " "Is it an apH'ul for aid?" asked bis wife "No. It's a note from tbe landlord saying he has raised the rent" Her Property. Now and again things happen on the football Held which go to add to tin gnyety of the nation. On one occasion, for instance, during a certaiu league mntch In the north, tbe referee some bow managed to lose hla whistle. There was not another whistle to be found, and It seemed that the gnme would have to come to a sudden and Ingloti ons end. until the referee bit upon an ingenious scheme, fie produced a latchkey from his pocket and mnnnged to tootle merrily enough on It till sud denly, as he approached the touch line a woman's shrill voice was heard ex claiming: "Fred, come here at once. Where did you get that latchkey?" As he listened to the guffaw which went up from the assembled crowd that referee was the most sheepish looking man on the ground, and as be ! thought of the curtain lecture looming ahead his heart became like lead with in bis bosom.
