WILL END ALL WARFARE,
x HE dawn of universal peace is in sight and without
(help from either Mr. Carnegie or secretary iiyau.
If it materializes, it will be due to the discovery of an
Italian, Guilio Ulvili, that explosives can be exploded
by use of the violet rays at long distances. In an experi
ment at Florence, Italy, a few days ago, Ulvili succeeded
in exploding mines placed under the water in the river
Arno, his machine being located 10 miles away, and with,
a big hill between it and the mines.
Within half an hour of receiving the signal that all was
ready he succeeded in exploding each of the several mines.
To make the test still more difficult, Admiral Fornari,
who was conducting the tests, sank several corded metal
bombs containing explosives, which he prepared himself,
and the young inventor within a quarter of an hour locat
ed and exploded each of these bombs. Ulvili is now ex
perimenting with an apparatus by which he expects to be
able to explode any mine or kind of explosives at a dis
tance of 80 miles. ' ' . .
It will be seen that with this invention war is impossible
since no nation could keep a supply of ammunition, for if
it did so, the larger the supply the greater danger it would
be In. Battleships will be worthless when an enemy out
of sight beyond the horizon could explode all the ammuni
tion and sink the strongest warship with its own maga
zine. Land fortifications would be useless when an enemy,
,without approaching the shore or letting anyone know of
its presence, could explode all the ammunition and destroy
the forts. '
It seems rather paradoxical, but war is by the discovery
of this deadly mejthod made impossible. The weapon is
so sure arid so annihilating that both combatants could be
disarmed and knocked out before they could get within
fighting distance of each other.
If the discovery proves to be all that is claimed for it,
and there seems to be no possibility for doubt, not only is
war at an end, but the gentlemen who have so persistently
robbed the government in making armor plate will also
have their ammunition exploded.
The building of battleships and dreadnaughts will be
come a lost art, and the manufacturers of steel will liter
ally have to beat their weapons into pruning hooks or
some other instruments or tools that can be used in rais
ing food for humanity, instead of boosting the coffin
trust.
It is a discovery by the side of which all the inventions
of man pale into nothingness, for it means enforced peace
among all nations of the earth. England can stop her
ruinous navy policy, and all other nations can follow her
move, for Mars gets his in the solar plexus and is down
and out for all time.
The immense standing armies can be discharged and
the overburdened people of the old world relieved of that
grevious load. It means that might can no longer rule and
that right will pcnorce take its place in the management
of national intercourses. It means that universal peace
which is promised before the millennium, and will be a
great boon to those who are so anxiously awaiting the
end of the world. However, to most of humanity the end
of war will be enough, and they are not worrying about
the other event, so often staged and so far never keeping
its dates.
ailment known to the veterinary. It was the difference
in the point of view.
The botanist or the geologist thinks he has an old violin;
the expert inspects it and finds that the ancient appear
ance is a deliberate fraud, and the instrument, is a con
glomeration of parts from the hands of several modern
makers.
There are many startling coincidences of repetition of
the thing once seen. That is to say, we meet a new proper
name or a new phrase in our reading, and thereafter it
fairly obtrudes itself on our attention. It crops up in
every lecture, sermon, book or newspaper.
"Strive to be one of those upon whom nothing is lost,"
said a wise teacher. There is just as much for the un
trained eye to see as there is for the schooled powers of
observation. But a John Burroughs has his enjoyment of
the earth a thousand-fold intensified, because its" natural
history is clear print to him, and with the birds and the
flowers he is like Melampus, who
"loving them all, : ' "
Among them moved as a scholar who readeth a book."
Another freak law is proposed to be placed on the Ore
gon statute books by initiative. It is proposed to compel
all employers to give their employes 24 hours consecutive
ly each week, as the bill reads, "to improve his or her
physical, mental or moral condition." The originator of
the bill should have seven 24-hour days each week for say
50 years to take advantage of this proposed law, and
should be compelled to devote the entire waking hours of
the period to improving his or her mental condition. The
other two sections might be taken up profitably later.
William Rockefeller is reported as too sick to testify be
fore the Interstate Commerce Commission. It is probable
it is a recurrence of that dangerous attack he had that
made his giving testimony before the Pujo Money Trust
Commission impossible. Almost any testimony that Wil
liam could give would be dangerous to himself, or some of
his relatives.
Talk may be cheap, but the kind used by Senator La
Follette does not come under that head. His speech, part
of which was made in the senate' recently, filled nearly
four hundred pages of the congressional record and it cost
$12,386.12 to print it.
Congressman Hobson should get a position as private
secretary to Colonel Roosevelt. What a magnificent team
that would make. Roosevelt could furnish the ideas and
Hobson the electrical display and the calcium lights.
John D. Rockefeller, like Huerta, has "nothing to medi
ate." Perhaps a few hours given to the Colorado strike
murders might make him put a "t" in the word, and medi

The Apple Boom is Dead
And the coroner has gone home, but
the apple industry is very much alive.
The wisest of the growers are working
together, instead of "every man for himself,"
as was the case two or three years ago. The
losses attending the record-breaking crop in
1912 will not cannot happen again. At last
the topheavy apple industry is being sup
ported by the strong base of diversified farming.
If your business or interests touch the
apple industry in the slightest way, you

The Speed Maniac
Where 'r he hies he simply flies, the
dust behind him thickens; post my
abode he burns the road, and kills my
pup and chickens. He toots his horn
as though in scorn of folks who travel
slowly; like falling star his noisy car
attains a speed un
holy. He does not
care for your des
pair nor heeds your
angry feelings; he
scoots and rips and
tears and tips, with
drunken leaps and
reelings. For poor
galoot who' toils

his track, for meters back, his dead
and maimed are lying; he merely sniffs
at mangled stiffs, and still he goes a
flying. When brought to court this
measly sport is taxed a few piasters,
when he should wail for years in jail
for causing such disasters. Throughout
