GIVE EXHIBITION OF LOYALTY
West Indian Possessions of Britain
and France Have Bent Their
Bons to the War.
None of these lands of the Lesser
Antilles has prospered quite ns much
as Cuba, Porto Rico and Panama dur
ing the last 15 years, owing to the pe
ruliar relations of these three conn
tries to the United States. But they
have prospered far more, they have
infinitely better and Juster govern
ments, than most of the revolution
ridden “republics” that face on the
Caribbean and the Mexican gulf; from
the standpoint ef life, liberty and prop
erty, they are beyond comparison bet
ter living pluces for rich men and es
pecially for poor men.
They reflect honor on the nations to
•which they belong; the public servants
are upright, fearless and efficient. The
English colonies regard England, and
the French colonies France, with de
voted loyalty—a loyalty'which in each
case has been well eurned by the moth
er country. Everywhere we found that
the young white men had thronged to
the Support of the mother country In
the war—almost every family we met
had kinsmen at the front.
Even more striking was the genuine
loyalty of the colored men aud. black
men to the flags under which they had
found Justice. Thousands had volun
tered from the British colonies. Mar
tinique and Guadeloupe were under
conscription, like France; and these
two islands, with less than half a mil
lion population, had sent 15,000 sol
diers across the seas.—Theodore
Roosevelt In Scribner’s Magazine.
EASY TO HANDLE BIG LOADS
Attachment Devfeed for Truck.. Make.
the Work of the Wheeler 50
Per Cent Easier.
In order to mnkc It possible for n
workman to manage a heavily loaded
two-wheeled hand truck with less phy
sical exertion than Is ordinarily re
quired an attachment has been devised
which holds the cargo In place, allow
ing the mass to be tilted forward until
Its center of gravity is over the wheel
axle.
When wheeling on level flooring a
man is thus relieved of the weight of
the article he Is moving; his concern Is
merely to maintain its balance while
propelling tip; truck.
The device consists of an anchor and
chain attachment, housed in a lube,
which Is attached beneath a truck. By
lipping the latter forward against tin
object It Is to carry, the chain Is drawn
out to the required length, locked by
droppiug one of the links Into n narrow
slot 111 the neck of the tube and tht
hook engaged at any convenient point
Sixteen Records at a Time.
Designed especially for the use ol
retail dealers, a compact machine thut
perforates music rolls for us In player
pianos Is being introduced. The up
I-a rat us Is described In Popular Me
chanics. It is capable of making from
one to Sixteen records ut a time from
sheet music, and will also turn out
copies of any standard roll. Its o|>ei-ii
tion is suid to be so simple thut satis
factory work can he done by persons
who ate not musicians. The paritcului
advantage of the mnchlne seems to hi
that It enables a small dealer to fil!
his customers' orders promptly with
out having to curry a large, expensive
stock. It also obviates the Inconveni
ences thut confront patrons when spe
cial orders have to be mailed to a fuc
tory before tlielr wants cun be sap-
Plied. Sine- 16 sheets can he per
forated simultaneously, u dealer in
making a roll to order has an oppor
tunity to add 15 records to his stock
With no expense other tliiin the hurt
cost of the puper and spools.

New York City as a State.
Col. J. B. Bellinger wants the city
of New York elevated Into a new state.
To that end he would have annexed t<
It ndjucent slices of Connecticut and
New Jersey. In his opinion erection
of the city Into n stale would bring
fiower to solve complicated problems,
such ae transportation and food dis
tribution. Should his bleu he udopted
the new state would possess the unique
distinction of beln* the only state In
the Union without an agricultural ark*
or farming Dooularton.
SOUL’S ENTRANCE INTO BODY
Matter Over Which Theologians Have
Differed Since the First Time a
Theory Was Advanced.
Dr. Austiq O’Malley of New York
lias just revived the ancient discus
sion concerning the moment the hu
man soul enters the body, in un ar
ticle In America he contrasts the two
opposite theories: (1) That of Aris
totle, that the soul is infused about
the fortieth day, to which St. Thomas
Aquinas, St. Anselm, St. Alphonsus
Liguorl and most of the medieval mor
alists and theologians adhered. (2)
That the entrance of the soul is simul
taneous with the fusion of the single
nuclei in the two parental germ cells,
tp which most modern embryologists,
physicians und moralists give their
udhesion.
Cardinal Mercler and sojne other
great theolOgiuns cling to the Aristote
lian theory toduy, basing their belief
on the idea that not until the body
takes actual human form Is the
“breath of life” breathed into It und it
becomes “u living soul.”
But Doctor O’Malley and the embry
ologists hold that the earliest embryo
is a human being, therefore a body
with a human soul.
SCIENCE AND WAR A UNIT
Members eff French Military Expedition
in Balkan* Are Devoting Much
Time to Both.
The French military expedition In
the Balkans, following the exnmple of
the armies of Napoleon and Marshal
Malson In carefully preserving and
classifying all objects of archeological
Interest discovered by the troops, has
gathered dutn that It Is thought will
throw much light* on the primitive his
tory of Macedonia.
Objects unearthed in trench digging
at the front In Mucedonlu and In the
construction of field works In "the in
trenched camp are assembled at Sn
lonikl all duly lnbeled, with full de
tails of their discovery.
Organized research is being done so
far as circumstances permit. Three
living columns have been sent to covet
particularly Interesting regions to
make soundings with a view to the
preparation of archeological charts or
•imps.
• These columns have already .collect
ed Information of inestimable value,
with specimens of poetry, fragments ol
ceramics, with data us to the depth at
which they were discovered.
Racial Differences.
A new idea is that races of men may
be differentiated chemicully, Just at
tlicy are separated by easily seen phy
sical or anatomical peculiarities ol
umke-up. hair, skin, etc. In the blood
of Germans a count of 4,570.000 white
corpuscles per cubic millimeter lint
been made, while a similar count In the
blood of French has shown an average
of 5,500,000; and It is believed that
other ruclul differences quite as notable
will be revealed when a wide coinpuni
live study shall have been made. The
study us suggested would Include the
density of organs, viscosity of the
bliss], and the general chemical rela
tions of the various parts of the body
It is pointed out that the results might
dear up the mystery of the Immunity
of certain races to certulu discuses, ex
plain the cnt-imd-dog antlputlilcs ol
same races, and show us why certain
Instincts and appetites are so persist
ent In various people. Doctor BarilloD
foresees thut the chemical test of races
would even greatly aid In shnpiug Im
migration und murrluge laws.
Steel for Battleships.
Nearly 15.000 gross tous of steel will
be needed to build the Oil various now
battleships, destroyers and submarines
bids for the construction of which were
taken h.v the United Stutes- navy In
October. When these are udtled to out
navy they will make It one of the most
formidable in the world. Some en
lightening statistics regarding these
mivul vessels appear In Popular Me
ehanli-K Magazine. In each of the four
new battle cruisers there will he 15,02(1
tons of steel; In each of the four new
huttleslilps there will |>e 13.761 tons
of steel; In the 20 new destroyers, 325
tons of steel eueh, and In the 30 new
submarines, 180 tons ouch. A hospital
Ship and an iinnuunltlon ship will need
•1.000 tons of steel eueh. Taking *7O a
ton ns the average price of steel nt
present, these vessels ntenn an outlay
of not less than $10,000,000 for the
steel only.
War on Mosquitoes.
The New Jersey Mosquito Extermin
ation association has naked the legis
lature of that state to appropriate SIOO,-
000 for prosecution of aclenttOc war
fare on mosquitoes. This sum will he
supplementary lo funds provided by
counties, cities and towns In the state
for the same purpose. Part of tin
work consists In drainage of extensive
stilt marshes, filling in lowlands, stfnly-
Ing the habits of the Insects, oiling

course of the i-ntupulgn more than 200,-
