ACTIONS SUI WORDS
May wi not oail the attention of
the democratic contingency ■which
«ill meet in this city on -May 10>,
to nrehistoiric condition, of our pres
ent orope.ty laws. Rightfully fit
ted for the "Soaie Age" and 1 the
times of the KgHttUua Dynasties
they U-ive remained on our statute
books us representing the aims and
ideals of this, the etnlig labeled
twentieth century period.
The democratic delegates chosen
ax the fuming meeting jyould be
do:ug a progressive piece oI -work ft
they would insist on being instruct
ed that thev be sent with" the Idea
of standiung for community proper
ty riscts tcr both eexes. The
present law is grossly inadequate
to meet 'he needs of the present
generations. Social conditions have
changed ai-i the law being one
of tj" most exacting-sciences known
to the ilai'* of man kind, should
also chano^e to meet the modern
ideas. -'' *
The 'eniveratic party in its con
vention iu Juneau in 1914 took the
lead by ."ddSng a community pro'
oerty p!.t:iX. Quoting from the par
ty's leading publicity argaai thd
Alaska Daily Empire: "There is
no reason in the world why there
should Uvt b"» a community proper
ty law in A'aska—a law that gives
to 'he w'fe a half interest in the
property accumulated by husband
and wi's ,uter marriage. There is
no good notion why there should
not be *uch a law."
Also there is a vast differennce
between addicg a plank to a plat
form i-nJ then getting it on the
state booKs. With bottf parties
standing for the law—there will
ctvt.iinlv be a hitch to the yl^dg^s
of the i urties if the law is not
passed Parties should stand for
the wish. 3 of the people and not
t nd'YidualigBt of some member
who h'l't'ens to have the strength
fo b" e!eit»«d. The people hav®
pluccd 'n«th in therr delegates and
its rj> >o them to not abuse thi.t
s'-rlix:/- faithfulness of the yoters.
ORIGIN OF ORE DEPOSITS.

of ores, as well as small qnintftles ot

THE MODERN TORPEDO.
How It Travel* and Its Effect Upon
Striking a Vessel.
Tile present day torpedo Is n very
different sort of weapon from that used
half a century ago. It Is shaped some
thing like a cigar and :s about twenty
three feet long and twenty-one Inches
In diameter, It weighs considerably
more than a ton. mid Its construction j
costs from (5.000 to double that sum.
It Is made to travel In a certain dl
rectlo^ In a fixed iliue and to explode,
when It strikes some solid object, sx-h
as a ship's bottom. A torpedo of the
largest and most modern type will
tear a gaping hole In the stanchesf ship
ever built The nose or "explosive
head" of a torpedo contains the deadly
charge of high explosives, nitroglycerin
and guncotton being oftenest used.
■When the torpedo strikes Its target
a tremendous detonation follows In
stantly.-driving tn l>oth the outer nnd
inner "skins" of a vessel. The hole it
makes in a ship's bottom varies in
size, but la seldom less than tin by
thirty feet The torpedo travels to
ward Ita victim at the rate, roughly, of
about a thousand yards a minute. The
distance and rate of speed have to be
calculated to a nicety before the tor
pefto Is discharged. It Is kept to Us
destined course by perpendicular rod
ders In Its tail.
The modern "dirigible" torpedo was
[first used in a naval war during tin-'
t Chilean revolution of a quarter of a
century ago.—New York World.
Forcing Flower Seeds.
It is a help to soak nil hard seeds,
such as swoptj jxyu*. niujturtli;;us. bal
sams, moonflower."etc.. at least twelve
hours aud to tllo especially large seeds
such as canna and inoonfiowcr. This
Is done by rabbin? t!ie shariiest end
I (or any part uwuy from the itermi over
a tile..just enough to have the white
show. Flllug must be doue before
soaking. Sweet |>eas may be soaked
three or four days
• Another way to hurry coarse, slow .
to germinate seeds Is to force between j
canton fianuei. Take double pieces of
canton flani^l, wet thoroughly, place
seeds between them and put iu a
warm place. Keep cloths moist all the
time, and seeds will sprout in from one
to three days. Transfer carefully to
. the ground with the root sprout down.
