CURING THE DEFECTS The wave of the temperance sentiment in North Carolina was supposed to have reached its cli max two years agro when the Leg islature passed the Watts act, abolishing- atra single blow the country distillery and restricting both the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors to the incorporated cities and towns; at the same time afford ing to citizens of counties and mu nicipalities extensive powers to deal with the whiskey problems in the manner best suited to the wishes of the majority It was recognized, however, that time might discover some features of the law needing amendment. The Democratic State Convention last year had this thought in mind -when it committed the party to an endorsement of the Watts act, but left the Legislature unbounded by any pledges that would prevent amendments designed to give force to the law or to give effect to the wishes of the people for such further restriction of the liquor traffic as might be deemed wise or desirable to meet the needs of any particular community. ... . i ... While laws that people make for themRt'fves are the most satisfac lory in every way to those who are governed, by them, it is recog nized that, perfection is not to be expected in every act of the Legis lature. It is not surprising, there fore that one result of the Watts yct has been a concentration of .dxti?eries in certain cities ;( and towns, that were willing to receive i Vem. Not to speak of Salisbury, diore the people have put them ofves on record as; being, in, favor -G'liavUig: whiskey made at their very doors, few small communi ties have been almost wholly giv en oyer to the industry, such as it is,: fcothe great annoyance of a con siderable number of cities and towns in their immediate vicinity, vihere the people are desirous of promoting sobriety- v The Legislature has recognized the -j force of such a situation by gifting: neliefi totne people Of Rich jvSJ, Jnson,. Scotland,- Cumber land an(f Mw counties by put ting the distiilerTes at' Hamlet andJ Hoffman out of business. The effect, no doubt, is a hardship to those who have had capital invest ed in the business; out even vested interests must give away to the general welfare of the community. The law must give reasonable protection to communities that want to keep the liquor traffic away from their doors, and a few persons shouldn ot be permitted to defy public sentiment. The good judgement of the people will ap prove the action of the Legislature Love is blind. That's why a man in love is unable to distinguish between an angel and a goose. Our best opportunities are of the home: made; "variety. LAKE WATER. Effect of It Wonderful Buoyancy on ' l odiei and Boats. The buo rancy of the water of the Great Salt lake is such that it'is al most impossible for a person to remain upright in it, bis body being lifted as a strip of wc od thrown into the water at a vertical or oblique direction like, a dnrt i re urned to the surface in a i horizontal position. In fact, it Is be j lieved tha : the Great Salt lake will ! support me re weight to a given volume : of water tuan even" the Dead sea. It ! is a ! very popular resort with Gathers ! for the reason that it is impossible for a person io drown unless he should i deliberate! v place his head under , the surface or tie a weight to his feet, ihe bather can float upon the water, lying on his bad: or chest, and keep his head entirely above the surface with no ef fort of flu ( arms or legs. The large quantity o;' salt in solution is the prin cipal reason for the buoyancy. "While the buoyai.ey of the water Is so great that it wi I support a person without aid, the lats which are designed to be used u ?on the lake must be con structed e specially to counteract this feature, ''he ordinary wooden vessel when emp :y is actually too light to be navigated with - safety upon it, since such a small portion of , it would be Immersed. Therefore care has to be taken. In milding sailboats especially, lest they bs top heavy. For this reason navigations t Is very danserous on the lake wheiji the wind is blowing even moderately unless the vessel is loaded so that itlsits deep enough in the wa ter to counteract the buoyant tendency. The quantity of salt held in solution Is so great! that it Is dangerous for one to swallow evrn . mouthful of the water, as It is lk: to cause strangula tion. Several deaths from this cause have ensued 'among persons who have ventured Into the lake. Chambers Journal. Very Old Tree. An old yj few tree stands In the church yard at Fdrtingal, in Perthshire, which DefOandolle nearly a century ago proved to the satisfaction of botanists to be twenty-five centuries old, and an other is still standing at Hedsor, in Bu clas, which is 3.240 years, old. How De Gandolle arrived at an apparently cor rect estimate of the enormous age of these living trees is a simple thing, and the principle is doubtless well known today to all. The yew, like most other trees, adds one line, about the tenth of an inch, to its clrcumf erence each year. But the oldest living thing In the world today as far as known is a cypress tree In Chapultepec. Mexico,- that Is 6.260 years old. In a Quandary.

" How many weak and timid creatures , there are in the world., with neither teeth and claws for their protection, armor for their defense nor speed with which to escape their enemies! One can hardly understand wb jr they have not all been killed and eyteu up long ago. Nature is, ' however, kinder to these poor animals than she seems, for if she has left them defenseless against attack she has given them a marvel ous power of recovery from injuries. When a tiny lizard has to scamper for his life in search of a crack in the rock he often has "so close a call" that his pursuer snaps off his tail just as he wisks into safety. A loss like this would kill, most larger animals, but not the little lizard. He simply waits round quietly until a new tail grows and then is as well off as before, ex cept that the new tail has a flexiMe rod of cartilage where the old omad a backbone ; If an earthworm happens to be re tiring to his hole , when a robin is out looking for breakfast there is apt to be a lively tug of war between the eater and the breakfast. Not infre quently the bird gets the tail end of the worm, while the other half crawls away into safety. Not even a lizard could survive such treatment as this, but the earthworm is in ability to re cover 5 from injuries almost as much superior to the lizard as the lizard is to us. lie grows a new half body to re place the one which has been devoured and seems to mind his loss no more than a boy. minds having his hair cut. There are besides some snail-like water worms which quite undo the earthworm in bearing up against mis fortune. If one of, these chances to lose his entire bead, in a week or so, some times in, only four or ' five days, he grows a new one, brain, eyes and all, and is as - well off as ever. Even if a hungry fish gets two bites at him, so that hje loses both head and tail, the warm can patch himself out with new members and go about his business as before. They have even been known to get divided into two pieces about equal in size -and each pysce grow a new half body, so that there were two entire worms in place of one. After this it will easily be guessed that If the head end of the worm hap pens to be. split halfway down he will grow two new sides and become Y shaped with .two heads, or if the tall end is split new sides grow and a two tailed worm Is made. Sometimes one or two new heads develop close behind the old oue in the angle of the Y. In deed the little creature seems to have a sort of mania for making new heads and tails wherever he finds a chance. If, therefore, the worm after receiving several wounds manages to escape with his life, from the cuts which hap pen to open forward little heads grow out and from those opening backward little tails, no doubt greatly to his em barrassment.; But what of the cut off heads and tails? Do they make new bodies and become whole animals again? Not usu ally. The severed head seems to be come confused, so that it does not know what to do. If it lives, it is most apt to produce another head like itself and change Into two heads placed neck to neck so that they look in opposite directions. So, too, the severed tail, equally foolish, doubles Itself and be comes, two useless tails growing end to end. -) j But Isn't this really quite impossi ble? A head or a tail or even a half body cannot get food. If It cannot eat. It cannot grow, and that is all there is about it. Well, it Is true that a frag ment cannot eat. But still It can make the new part out of its own tissue. So jthe animal keeps getting smaller as it becomes . more nearly complete until when the new part is finished the whole body may be no more than the tenth part of its proper size. The re constructed animals are therefore forc ed to begin life over again like young worms. In time, however, they grow np to full size. When a head end makew a new bead instead ofi a tail or a tail' makes a new tail instead of a head the little creatures must necessarily waste away and die St. Nicholas. Some Animal Oddities. ' In fishes and tadpoles there Is a pe culiar lateral line running down each side of the-, body, which probably acts as a kind .of ear,- sensitive to move ments of the water and warning: them of enemies at hand. v' -r- Many deep sea fishes have phosphor escent organs on their flanks, which emit ) a dim, bine light and resemble eyes In structure. Some creatures that have no proper head possess eyes. Thus the starfish has a somewhat complicat ed eye' at the end of each of its five arms, which appears as a bright red or orange spot. Insects of the grasshopper tribe, which make musical sounds, are pro vided with ears in their legs or on the sides of their bodies. The curious lit tle possum shrimp, .which swims In large shoals, has a pair of ears In its tall. In their early stages our May flies have organs of hearing on either eide of the abdomen. v . Failed of Popularity. Steps have been taken before now to popularize the British army in the prov inces. In some cases the martial spir it has been stimulated. But not in all.
