Undaunted, State Goes
“Over The Top.
In the face of the most ad-
verse conditions that have yet
faced a war campaign in Ok'a-
luma, the Fourth Liberty Loan
drive came to a successful close
on Saturday with a couple of
million dollars as a margin of
safety in exc -si of the $3 l/LO,
000 state quota.
Added to a most persistent
aud incidious peace propaganda

moment to do most injury to
Sixty years ago our broad Yankee-
! laud awoke aud learned that the old
country and the new had been united
by a magical tie—the Atlantic cable.
Through the courage and fiersistence
of three Americans—there were oth-
ers, hut the three were the actual cable
sponsors—Cyrus W. Field, his brother,
David Dudley Field, and that fine old
philanthropist, Peter Cooper—the great
project was carried over. The total
cost was $1,834,500, the cable alone
taking $1,250,250, aud the line crossed
from Trinity bay, Newfoundland, to
Vulentla, Ireland, the cable being very
close to 2.500 miles long.
Three times the attempt to lay the
cable had failed, chiefly owing to de-
fects In Its materlul. The fourth at-
tempt was successful. The Niagara,
then the largest ship in the United
States navy, and the Agamemnon, a
British warship, met lu midocean on
July 29, 1858, each carrying u section
of the cable. The ends Were carefully
spliced and then the two ships turned
homeward, moving slowly us they paid
out the cable. On August 4 the Nia-
gara reached Trinity hay; the Aga-
memnon reached Valentla on the 5th.
On August 16 the cable was pro-

AT END OF GLACIAL PERIOD
Geological Authority Makes Deduc-
tions From Shrinking of Great
Ice Cap at the South Pole.
Dr. Marsdeu Manson of San Fran-
cisco, an eminent authority on geology,
points to the fact established bv re-
cent Antarctic explorers that the great
Ice cap Is shrinking. From this he
draws the e,inclusion that the grildual
subsidence of the Age of lee of which
the polar Ice caps are the existing
remnants, Is still going on and that
we live, so to speak, at the tail end of
the glacial period. He expresses the
conviction that the same succession
of geological climates has prevailed
In Ant^-ctlc as In other latitudes, and
says that the evidence collected in re-
cent Antarctic explorations Is corrobo-
rated by the comparatively recent un-
covering of temperate land areas and
the progressive retreat of the snow-
line to higher elcvftrlons In temperate
and tropical latitudes and toward the
[Miles at sea level. lie comes to the
conclusion that the disappearance of
the Ice Age Is an active present process
and must be accounted for by activi-
ties and energies now at work. He
considers lt as proved that the rates
and lines of retreat are and have been
determined by exposure to solar en-
ergy and the temperature established
thereby and by the difference In the
specific heat of the land and water
hemispheres.
TURNING RATS TO ACCOUNT
Japanese Authorities Anticipate Sub-
stantial Revenue From Leather
Made From Hides of Pest*
In the neighborhood of Aomori. Ja-
pan, the hides of squirrels are tanned
and used as carpets, neckcloths and
' for other purposes. This has aug
gested to Doctor Hasegawa Klyonarl,
head of the Hasegawa hospital at
Osaka, who Is a member of the Osaka
: municipal assembly, the possibility of
turning to good account the hides of
the numerous rats bought by the mu-
nicipal authorities In view of the

two ruts and sought the opinion of
dealers as to what the leuther would

The Unexpected.
An amazing Instance of the unex-
pected happening at the front
ended in a French and a German
pilot landing together. The French-
man and the German were circling
and dipping for battle position.
Suddenly, the French pilot, think-
ing he had the advantage, charged
his enemy from the rear. But the
German did not swerve sufficiently
and the left wing of the French
machine struck the right-hand
struts of the German. The collision
caused the French airplane to spin
around violently until Its tall whizzed
between the wings of the German—
and stuck. Apparently being too busy
—or perhaps too astonished—to shoot
ut each other the opponents spiraled
side by side In a close embrace, ulti-
mately crashing Into the houghs of
some trees. Neither pilot was hurt,
so they clambered out. looking at each
other—and tie German wai reminded
that he was a prisoner.
