PROMISING TO MAKE REPRISAL
Reluctant as has been the British Government
undertake reprisals in kind for the aerial raids
on London, the present indications are that
sooner or later the popular demand for them will
become irresistible, and it begins to look as if they
would not be long deferred. Already Mr. Lloyd
George has answered an informal cry for venorer
ance with an equally informal promise that it
shall be attempted, and while the promise was
conditioned on eretting the advice and consent of
the military authorities, the Ominous words have
been spoken the dreadful nolicv contemplated
as something like a'necessitv of the situation.
The feelino and the attitude of the Londoners
is easilv comprenhensible and they cannot be
blamed for asking what thev do. but the wisdom
of granting their requests is still more than
doubious to remote observers, and it still can be
opd that entrance into a nearly hopeless com
petition in savagery may be avoided.
If it were certain, or even probable that the
raids-could be stopped by return raids, resort to
them could be without hesitation. Rut the imi
tation of German methods as regards the use of
asphyxiating eases and liouid fire has not stopped
that use. and promises no better result than
the depriving of the Allies of a moral superority
thev now possess. And that is not worth while.

There are a few rich young men who are de
serving of special commendation. At the re
serve officers' training camp in Illinois it was dis
covered that quite a number of young men with
out means were in danger of having to return
home for lack of funds to continue their course
of instruction. Hearing of this, the young men
of wealth in the camp quietly dug down, handed a
large sum to the mess officer with strict injunc
tions of secrecv as to names, and as a result a
number of brilliant youn? men of limited means
will continue to serve their countrv. This action
q nm'te in contrast to that of the lono- haired
Welles who tear around th countrv with Am-or-,
flprrc; rnr5Vi0usly displayed on the front
of their automobiles.

Certain newspaper writers appear to be much
exercised over how the former czar's two daugh
ters are to obtain suitable husbands, now that
Nicholas is just plain Mr. Romanoff. But de
cent men are plentiful in this world, more so in
the "Mr." class than in that infested by kings, em
perors and fools.
Th Rookina f Lak EH.
The 250 mile trough of Lake Erie
lies approximately In the direction of
the west to southwest winds which
prevail in that part of the country.
Thus the lake offera an excellent op
portunity for studying the effects of
the wind upon a large body of Inclosed
water, and very Interesting these ef
fects sometimes prove. R by tbmlc gusts
produce a rocking- motion, and great
blows from the west or southwest
sweep the liquid body of tbe lake east
ward and sometimes cause a rise of
ight feet or-more-at Buffalo in the
course of a few hours. As soon as
the maximum force of the gale has
passed tbe water swings back. Con
tinued rocfelugs are observed ou days
when tbe strength of tbe wind fluctu
ates. Apple or Onion 7
No one would for a moment imagine
any one mistaking an onion for an ap
ple. But don't be too sure. Some day
when you have nothing else to do cut a
small square of ouiou and a square of
apple of the xauie size, close your eyes
and bold your nose tightly and then
get some one to hand you one of the
squares without telling you which one
It is. You would be well advised not
to wager any money on being able to
tell by chewing which It is. The expla
nation is that a large part of what we
call taste is really smell. Pearson's
Weekly.
Th Lobster's Color.
The shell of tbe lobster is imbued
with a blafk or bluish pigment secret
ed by the true skin, which also gives
out the calcareous matter after each
molt. s that lime and pigment are
Wended together. This pigment be
comes red. pule and intense In water
at a temperature of 212 degrees F..
and the same effect is produced by the
action of alcohol, ether and various
acids.
