Feeling themselves struck at in the dark, they prepare to strike back in the dark. ' \It would be very well to say, 'Lit them fight it out!' if that could be done without danger. But fires spread. Passion begets passion. There is no telling where this sort of thing will end. To the Fiery Cross and the Flam- ing Circle there may be added next .a Blazing Square or some other appro- in priatc symbol, with nocturnal and pri- vate edministration of justice -all making the same virtuous and patri- otic professions. \:Behold how great a flame a little fire kinilleth.' It grows plainer every day that the fire should never have 'oeen started.\ THE KU KLUX KLAN. A state of upheaval amounting al- most to civil war exists in Oklahoma. Conditions there remind one of the conditions in Mexico and Ireland dur- ing the past decade. J. C. Walton, governor of Oklahoma, has put por- tions of the stete under martial law on account of alleged outrages per- petrated by the Klu Klux Klan. Gov Walton's opponents threaten to im- peach him. The Ku Klux seems to be a breeder Of trouble wherever it shows Up. The Yankton Dakotan in the fol- lowing editorial points out some facts that to us seem wotthy of considera- tion: \A new secret order known as Knights of the Flaming Circle has ap- peared in West Virginia and some of the adjoining states, and is said to be spreading rapidly. It is openly anti -Klan, and opposition to the Ku Klux is said to be the chief requisite for membership. \Leaders of the new movement ex- tiuelies Geld Fields. Information ceasing oat by mall from prospectors la the new . gold fields of northwestern Quebec is to the effect that the rash has shown no abate- ment, and that the seevement is gen- eral toward the east. Some staking ii taking place in the township of Clericy, around Ciericy lake, but the greater staking is along the Keno- jevis river, and extending away off to- ward the east. Flaw In Alcoholic Fuel. Although experiments have shown that alcohol as fuel for trucks Is MC- cessful in the Philippines, this Is not the case with passenger cars. Besides the fact of the fuel's offensive odor, the carburetors do not .apply enough air, and the economy is not sufficient to warrant passenger -car users in changing their carburetors, even If suitable ones were available. •=1.

' By the end of the year, if building goes on ‘ with the speed it has now attained, the war wilderneas of Flan- ders not only will have resumed its peewar aspect in point of houaing ac- commodation, but will have modern Improvements unknown in 1914. Motoring through the historic bat- tleground today one is impressed by the capacity of production of the Belgian people. Shell -choked wastes have given place to productive pas- tures and extensive vegetable gardens. Shattered walls have been replaced by comfortable farm houses. Men and Women are gathering sustenance from fields which were the . theater of armies. • Almost 75,000 private dwellings out 100,000 destroyed or damaged have been built, and most of these are oc- cupied by their former inhabitants. Only ninety of the destroyed or dam- aged public buildings of Flanders re- main unrepaired. The reconstruction of private houses has entailed an ex- pense of 685,000,000 francs. The pub- lic edifices have cost 125,000,000 francs to rebuild. Most of this work has been done by the government through its special reconstruction de- partment, the Devastated Regions of - DAD SURELY H4RD TO PLEASE \Hit High, Hit Low,\ Old Gentleman Evidently Was Determined Not to Be Satisfied. The son of a Boston lawyer at the end of his first term in -college exulted In the fact that he stood next to the head of his class. • \What! Next to the bead?\ ex- claimed his father. \What do you mean, air? I'd like to know what you think I send you to college for! Next to the head, indeed! I'd like to know why you aren't at the head, where you ought to be.\ The young man, naturally crestfall- en, worked so hard on his return to college that the end of the term found him in the coveted place. Ile went home very proud, indeed. The lawyer contemplated his son for a few mon:lents in silence; then, with a shrug of his shoulders, re- marked: \At the head of the class, eh? Humph! That's a fine commentary on Harvard university 1\-LHarper's Mag- azine. Peruvian Petroleum. = Efforts are being made to develop = more extesudvely the petroleum re- = sources of Peru. The known depos- it* of oil occur on a very narrow strip = of land between the foothills of the = Andees and the shore of the Pacific, = and much of this is flooded at high = tide. Piles of railroad iron driven in E the pure ocean sand, which varies in depth from five to fifty feet, are used - as foundations for the derricks. The shallOwest of the driven wells is 180 feet, and the deepest 1,760 feet in depth. There is very little gas, and the oil is very heavy, so that it can be put into buckets with shovels, and It is carried direct to the furnaces to serve as fuel. Mango In Porto Rico. It is reported that the climate of Porto Rico is favorable for the cultiva- tion of what has sometimes been called the finest of tropical fruits, the mango. But although mangoes abound in the Island they are seedling trees, and the fruit is inferior to that of the famous Bombay mango, which Is a grafted tree. It is believed that fine mangoes could be grown in abundance In Porto Rico by importing the best grafts, and that the industry can be developed into an important one as soon as the excellence of the fruit be- comes known in the United State's. Looking for 011 In Spain. It appears that there are at present eight companies engaged In explora- tion for oil in the Bilbao district, ac- cording to information published by the official chamber of mines et Bilbao. The denouncement' of these compa- nies in the Spanish Basque provinces alone of the Bilbao district cover many thousand acres of lands which have been favorably reported upoo by the (*Companies' geologists. A number of borings have been made which have given favorable indications, but no re - Suits of a definite character have as yet been achieved. Frog Farming. From his backyard frog ranch near Oshkosh, Wis., Emil Neuenfeldt ships 2,000,000 frog legs a year. The frogs are kept In concrete trenches 50 feet long and 6 feet wide, in which ate refrigerated pipes and running water. The cold water makes the frogs hiber- nate and silences the frog chorus. Whea an order is received the required number is scooped from a trench and the frogs are placed in a tank of wa- ter charged with electricity. This kills the frogs, straightens out ,their legs and makes amputation easy. Knew All About It. • William had become the proud own- er of a pig, and insisted upon having allgthe care of it. After a few weeks, as the pig did not seem to thrive, his father said to him: \William Pm afraid you are not feeding your pig enough. It doesn't seem to be fattening at all,\ \I don't want to fatten him yet,\ an- swered the young stockman. \I'm waiting till he gets as long as I want, then ru boon to lden WM MIL\ LIVED LIFE OF LONELINESS Naturalist leoleted Himself That He Might Have Opportunity to Study Habits of Birds. On a lonely, island eff the coast of Queensland for twenty-five years, Mr. 3. Bonfield, naturalist and author of \confessions of a Beachcomber\ and other books, has died at the age of se' 'my. The crew of the steamer In- nktail, passing the island, saw a wotu• H o waving on the beach. A bout. was landed and Mrs. Banfield was found to be the only inhabitant of the island. 11(a• husband was dead. The crew made a coffin out of ship's timber and the chief officer read the burial service. Bantield refused to leave the is- land, and the captain called for vol- unteers to stay with her. Every man, offered, and the captain selected one to remain. Some twenty-five years w.-0 Mr. Bonfield acquired under the hail laws of the Queensland govern- ment Dunk island, off the coast of (tieensland. This was an Islet rather more than three square miles in area, Inhabited till then only by the rapidly di ladling remnant of a once consider- able native population, which has since, it would seem, entirely disappeared. There, with his wife, he settled down to live the simplest of lives and in.

KNOWN AS 'ELECTRIC GHOSTS' Scientist Explains Action of Electrons, Fastest Moving of All Ter- restrial Objects. In an address to electrical engineers Iii London a distinguished scientist thus defined an electron. An atom Is ordinarily associated with a charge, and force is required to separate the charge from the atom. The atomic charge when separated is called an electron. In an electrolyte -L e, u substances decomposed by an electric current -there Is a bodily transfer of atoms with their charges; in a metal- lic conductor the charges are handed on as electrons from atom to atom. In the discharge through highly rare - tied gases the electric current is in Its most simple form, for here there is a flow of electrons, traveling by themselves, of disembodied charges or electric ghosts. Electrons, it should be added, are the fastest moving of all known terrestrial objects, their speed being one -tenth that of light, which Is 186,300 nines per second.-WaShing- ton Star. Is Separation Right/ The French senate has voted to transfer to the pantheon, France's hall of fame, the remains of Renal; Edgar Qulinet and . Miclielet. This is a high honor from the state. But In 1898 Michelet's wife opposed the transfer of her husband's body. She had been the historian's intimate literary helper - almost ti collaborator -and knew all his thoughts. When the proposition was made to her she said: \No I lie would not have wished it. lie chose his grave hituself-in Pere-Lachalse, beside his son's. Let him sleep there In peace.\ But there may be no one today to interpose a veto on the sen- a:e's resolution. If it also passes the chat't or of deputies. Biggest and Best The annual meeting and banquet of the Men's Social club had not proved successful. The committee in charge of the arrangements, however, were more hopeful of a better conclusion as the guest of honor was introduced by the chairman. \Ceentlemen he said In a genial voice, \we have with us tonight one whom you all know very well, Profes- sor Piffle, who has promised to tell us some of his biggest and best after' dinner stories. Amid tremendous applause from the guests, the professor rose from his sent. \Mr. Chairman and gentlemen,\ he said, when he could make his voice heard. \To begin with my biggest story, let me tell you how thoroughly I have enjoyed your banquet.\ Black Rain. One of the services of science is In destroying superstition, and a notable example of this was afforded not long ago in Ireland. On an October night a fall of black rain, leaving Inky pools In the roads, occurred In many parts of the island. It was noted at the famous observatory at Blrr castle, and an investigation of the meteorological conditions prevailing at the time fol- lowed. The result was to show that there had been a movement of the air all over the central part of the fli - .tInb Isles such as carry soot from the manufacturing districts of Eng- land over the Irish channel. EXIUU- ination of the black rain showed that its color was due to the presence of an extraordinary amount of soot. Soya Bean Bread in Austria. Austria's experiments with soya bean flour in bread -making have proved sue- ceseful, and this bread has become so popular that, according to the Depart- ment of Commerce, the output has tn- eretteed ,to 10,000 loaves daily, Titree months ago the first experi- ment was made by a Viennese baker, who put out a loaf of wheat bread with a 20 per cent mixture of soya bean flour. Soya flour Is sold to be rich in proteins and fats, and its carbohydrates possess a sweetening quality which makes It illstinetly agreeable. The flour is prodeced un- der a secret process.
