Of the 2,849 libiaiies contain-

IF ALL CABLES WERE CUT
Blanket of Appalling Silence Concern-
Inn the European War Would De-
scend Upon America.
Suppose one of tho belligerent na-
tions of EtiVope grappled and cut too
cables that link the new world and '
old, what then would be tho position j
of America?
A blanket of silence would descend
upv n us. Communication by mull and
the still uncertain communication by |
wireless would be our only source of j
news. Even tho mall would bo liable [
to Berlous delays and interruption, nos- j
Bibly to complete discontinuance. *Tho
paralyzing efTect of such Isolation may
be imagined. It would strike at bus!- |
noss. It would leave to the gueenwork
of feverish fancy the welfare of tflthda
and relatives abroad It would make
void the columns of the newspapers |
on the onfe topic of uttermost concern
to all readers.
Nor is this a vain supposition. The
thing la possible—Indeed, not improb- j
able. The reason foj- such action would |
be the fear that tidings of military
rtiovements reaching America mighl \
find their wijy back to the enemy In !
Europe.—Chicago Evening lost.

r
The streiVlng of mines in other than
home waters—where their use for de-
fense is one of the well recognized
practiceq of war—is repulsive to the
ordinary Instincts as to what should
be permitted la warfare between cfv-
lllzed nations. The apparent fact,
disclosed by the destruction of tha
British cruiser Amphioii In the eastern
reaches of the British channel, that
the Germans have been placing mines
In waters distant from their own
coast and which may bo traversed by
neutral shipping, is llkety^to subject
them to impulsive criticism as being
In harmony with their ruthless viola-
tion of the neutrality of Belgium.-^

HIS KEAS0N IS RETURNING
Insane Man, Formsrly Member of Ns
tlonal Guard, Drills Othsr Inmates
of Asylum.
A Chicago man with a large ac
qualntanCe became insane wltfifn fi
year, and la now an Inmate at a stau
asylum One of his friends telephoned
the hospital the other day t<5 find out
about hlin
"He's th« happiest man here," said
doctor, "and I look for lifs cure.
He is getting big and strong and
"uddy and he Is doing wonders for li
other patients.
"In conversation with him, I found ,
out that he had been In the National !
Guard and i asked blm how he wou|d j
liks to drill a company i-'lue, hs I
said. So I got him a uniform and a '
sword and gave him a canceled beer
stamp for a commission
"In good weather he marches those
12 men all over the grounds as II
he were the marshal of an army oo
parade, ills soldiers are just as mucli
Interested as he and keep step proud
!y I think they march four or five
miles a day.
"When tbey are off duty rod set
him coming they step to one side and
salute.
"Their physical condition Is perfect,
The trouble, with the valedlctortas
was that he had started orations 01
] three different subjects and aban-
doned two, after committing theui ta
memory
This may account for the fact that
he trouble ensued early in the en
gagement.
The youth made a good getaway
nnd was covering the ground slea.l
lly when he suddenly switched.
"'Beyond the Alps lies Italy.'" hi
r->d a* he took careful aim with h'l
index finder at the gallery. "Such
were the Inspired words of PatrlcH
Henry as he faced the astonished g:i 'h
"ring, and pointed to the throbbing lid
of the steaming kettle If he had
turned aside at th,? crucial mom en t,
if Hannibal had not braved ti 4
minions of the ICnglish king the row
er and helpfulness of harnessed
steam might have been left for tha
discoverers of a future age Hut such
Is the inexorable decree of fate Han
nlbnl swept down ui on the pinins o>
sunny Italy, the seeds of American
Independence were deeply rooted Hnd
the steam engine was given td an
amazed wo'ld If James Hannibal—1
should say Patrick Watt —I mean I.lb
erty Henry—had hesitated—or looked
back—the course of empire would
bnve remained unchecked and history
would have been rewritten'"
Then he sst down amid treme&doui
applause
How Carlyic Kept Warm.
Blr Francis Cultcu met t'arlyU
twice the lira occasion, he shys
Ourlyle surprised l.lili by taU'"unex
pectedly cuurtt jus, even polished
mauuer; but Le'beeame more like his
oidlnary self later ou Ofa the second
occasion he seemed to me the great
est bore that a country house could
tolerate." But Carlyle amused him by
gravsly hopping up and down in o,~
der to keep warm Gallon was tl;
only man who ever got Herbert Bpoa
cer to the Derby. Hp«ncer said Ihnt
the crowd of men on tho grass looked
like flies on a plate and thai Hie
Derby was Just liko a hat ho expsrU j
K to be.

'JEW POWERFUL MICROSCOPE
Cnormcue Magnification Is Attained
Without Former Blemishes Due to
Optica! Causes.
,T '
*..erc has beeri e xhibited before ths
rloyal society of I ndon a form of
the invention of Professor
Gordon. by means of which enormous
magnification or an object can, It Is
stated, be attained without the blem-
ishes due to optical causes that for-
merly marred such 1 ranges.
VVti may suppose that the enlarged
image of an object Is received from a
microscopic lens upon a ground glass
focussing screen, and that then an-
other microscope Is employed still fur
•her to enlarge the image so formed.
This Is, of course, quite feasible, but
the grain oi tho glass would be magni-
fied together with tho image aod would
vitiate the result. Professor Gordon
uses a translucent screen of the finest
possible texture, and he causes It to b«
kept i constant motion while the ob-
ject is .-'Ins viewed or photographed.
By this means the grain of the screen
is eliminated and the greatly magnified
Ining.? of tho object alone seen. Sped*
mens magnified to the extent of ten
thousand diameters were shown as
proofs of the efficacy of the method
adopts^.—Harper's Weekly.
