'The en tente people also earnestly desire peace, but the enemy governments are domi nated by the fear of peace, as is proved by their refusal to grant passports to their nationals to attend th- Stockholm conference. The pope's proposal will thus be a lest of which side cherishes a sincere desire for peace." The Cologne Yolks Zeltung also awaits the text of the proposal, but expresses the hope that notwithstanding all ob stacles, the road to the reconciliation of the rations may be paved by the pope's appeal. THF. HKAKT VFTF.K DKATH. Why, I mler Some Circumstances, ll May Keep on Healing. Popular Science Monthly: The riues lion, "Why does a mon or an animal die 7" I tax been answered. "Because the heart stops beating " Hut any hunter or fisherman who has dressed his own catch can testify to the fart that the heart ies not stop beating at the mo ment of the animal's death. Often It will continue to pulsate rhythmically for several minutes after It has been removed from the carcass. The most recent answer to the 'Why'"' of this Is that the heart mus cles themselves ossess the Inherent quality of contraction and will contract or beat Just as soon or as long as the conditions of environment are right. That Is their business, and they can no more refrain from doing It under the right UliWIII fcnig than a rose could help giving Its fragrance. In r- en' erpt r:rrn r.ts l found that heat Is the principal element necessary to the development or the heart muscle and their subsequent ac tion. It is possible to grow the heart muscles of a warm blooded animal in an Incubator. During this growth a single muscle cell has been observed to develop and wander away from the mother cell arid begin to leat of Its own accord. Again, several Individual M -i 1m may attach themselves to each other In a colony and lent rhythmical together as long as the environment is ..hie. Hut let the temrerature of the Incu bator tie materially reduced and tl. a Hon of the heart muscles becomes slug gish. Reduce the temperature still further and gradually the rhythmic ac tion ceases altogether. The cells cease to perform their natural function be cause the environment is no longer right. In other words, they die because they are cold. According to this theory, the heart muscles could live on Independently of a body If kept at the proper tempera ture for their best development.

Aug. 17 The taking of Hill 70 yesterday st.rred the German high er command as nothing else has done on this front this year. Ten times the enemy came on. but they seldom got close enough for fighting with bayonet or bomb. The Prussian guards were subjected to a terrible concentrated fire from our artillery and machine guns. Their lo f were frightful. A veteran machine gun officer tells of having had as a target (or an hour and a quarter enemy reinforcements coming up in columns Of fours for use In counterattacks. He aaid his men killed more Germans yesterday than they had seen altogether at any previ ous time.

San Antonio Light: Mack, the 14 owned by H. C. Flint of 31 West Ever green street, first acquired city-wide fame several months ago when he pre Paated a burglar from nibbing his mas ter's home. He has long been a neigh UirhfKid celebrity, however, his many less ;ectacular erformance gaining him friend among iieople of all ranks of life, except burglars. Aside from being an efficient watch dog, as was demonstrated when he seized the burglar, who was escaping through the window with a bag full of silverware and cut glass, he has many other accomplishments. He herds chick en as a collie does sheep, he bring In wrxxl In the evening, and bring In the '-a ; r .i rid the n all. When all the rn mlsT of the family are too far away to hear the telephone he call them to It as soon as It ring. nd on one oc 'N he saved the house from burning when he i .tiled his mistre Into the room where the rug had caught on fire from the grate. Moreover, In sjdt of his age. Mack I an expert mouner. HI Intelligence I far above that of the ordinary bulldog, and hit under standing of speech Is said to be so Marty perfect that when iieople do not want him t" understand what they are talking about th'-v resort to spelling, as one would do with a child. Before getting Into bed he carefully turns down his cover. Mack's favorite dissipation is riding In the automobile and the fact that he has leen In wreck doe not seem to have made the pastime lose any of Its charm. Perhaps some of hi many un usual qualities can lie traced to the fact that he was lorn on Christina day. l.iverpiNil Cotton Statistics. Liverpool.
