It has long been known that sug

to have been mentioned by Galen
But it is rather novel to learn that
an eminent German surgeon. Dr
Georg Magnus of Munich, who is
famous as a traumatologist, rec
ommends it strongly as a dressing
for wounds. All saccharine sub
stances are good, but pure cant
sugar is best. Its disinfecting and
sterilizing qualities are excellent
It is not injurious to the blood, as
has been wrongly believed, and is a
better prevenative- of putrefactioi
and contamination by microbe^
than ordinary medical antiseptics.

Kansas is now paying the prison
ers of the Kansas Penitentiary 10
cents a day and the mo.nev is'to be
used to help the dependent famdies
of the prisoners. Heretofore Kan
sas has been allowing 3 3-4 cents
a day to each prisoner, to be given
him upon his release and on which
he could start life anew. Th
1 913 Legislature passed the law
increasing that amount to 1 0 cents
a day, and there are dependent
children of the prisoner or a wife
dependent upon him. the Prison
Board is to pay the money to the
dependent instead of to the prison
er on his release. Efforts were
made to make the amount 25c a
day to prisoners with relatives, but
the Legislature refused to make
the allowance. ,

SYNOPSIS.
CHAPTER T For fifty years the con
tinent of North America had been iso
lated from the rest ol the world by tht
ust of Z-rays, a wonderful invention ol
Hannibal Prudent. The invention had
saved the country from foreign invasion,
and the continent had been united undei
one government. with Prudent as presi
dent. For half a century peace and pros
perity had reigned. The story opens with
President Prudent critically ill. Ifis deatl
is hastened by the re.-eipt of a message
from Count von Werdonatein of Germany
that he has at last succeeded jn pene
trating the rays. Dying he warns Ids
daughter Astra that this means a foreign
invasion. He tells her to hurry to the
Island of Ciryne, but dies before he can
tell the location of the place.
CHAPTER II Astra is nominated foi
the presidency by the continental party.
CHAPTER III—Napoleon Edison call?
on Astra, informs her that he was a pu
pil of her father’s, and promises to help
her. He gives her a ring made of a new
ly dincoven-d substance whic h, he says,
will solve the problem of flying.
CHAPTER TV Chevalier di Eeon ap
pears in Europe. He notes that prepara
tions have been completed for an in
vasion of America. lie calls on von
Werdenstein and offers him the secret of
making gold.
CHAPTER V— He demands in return
absolute disarmament and peace. Tlie
chevalier is suspected of being an Amer
i< an. He is s* ized at night and carried
olT In an aeroplane.
CH \PTER VT \stra is inaugurated as
president. She receives a message from
Edison, whose long silence lias \vorri« d
her. that he has been a prisoner f..r t\vo
months on the island of Hclgolnrul and
has Just escaped. He announces that the
confederated f1*et <»f Europe has sailed
for America. He promises to call on lo r
the following night.
EH ' PTER Vlf Conn tegs Ro*dny, a.
spy. becomes a prisoner in hone of so
uring Edison’s secret. She falls in love
with him.
CHAPTER VITT She agrees to Join Urn
in an attempt to escape. By t1u> use of
fireworks he summons a curious flying
machine which resembles a monster
eagle. He escapes and sends Ids message
to Astra.
CHAPTER TX—Edison calls on Astra
as promised. He tells her his plans for
defense have been completed, but that be
will give fuller details at his workshop on
the island of Cir.viie in the Pacific. They
make the trip in three hours. His plans
are based on the peculiarity of the »'• w
substance, cirvnith. which is lighter than
any known metal and is pra< tically inde
structible.
CHAPTER X—The Europeans succeed
in passing * he line of isolation, hut rind
that the Americans have established a
second one. Edison delivers a note i<
von Werdcnstein in his flagship demand
ing that the fleet be withdrawn. Edi-or
s attacked, hut by the use of some n vs
terirms power he destroys two warship
and several aeroplanes.
CHAPTER XI Realising hfs helpless
ness Werdenstein withdraws his fl«ct and
consents to universal disarmament.
CHAPTER XIT Edison’s mother is ill
"n the Island of Cirvn Countess R-e inv
'ffers to go and comfort her. hoping to
discover Edison’s secrets. She begins to
weave a net around Santos Puprel, Edi
son’s assistant.

letter from Werdcnstein offering her the
princedom of Schoniburg-Eithow for Edi

’"In y find it on the estate of Schomburg

the property, hut gets no satisfaction.
Astra and Edison set the flat* for their
wedding. Wemlcnstein g«-ts a letter from
the countess promising to reveal Edison’s
.secrets as soon as the property Is turned
over to her.

Edison returns to Washington.
““It caused a perfect isolator, and if
1 had had the presence of mind to use
my dry battery at the crucial moment
I would not have had the fall; but
everything turns out for the best.
“When I was able to work I sue
needed in cleansing the w ings, and the
machine was in working order again
“Yesterday l thought I was strong
enough to leave and I bade my host
good by with the promise that I would
return and bring help.
“This is a short recital of my doings
during the two months past, and now.
my dear Astra, will you tell me all
that is new here?”
Napoleon had heard a few things
from Whistler in Ciryne that disquiet
ed him, and he was anxious to know
the truth. That Astra could tell him
best of all. So she began to relate
all the important happenings while
Napoleon listened attentively, making
notes from time to time. Astra spoke
of the European decree and all the
facts that were officially communicat
ed to her. Then she told of the news
paper rumors concerning the aerodro
mone fleet and the preparations for
war that were supposed to b« occupy
ing the time of the European rulers.
"Wojiaye nine days at our disposal.
! I will bf' very ius; ■ n<-xt ivw
; days, but next Monday I will b>- ready
1 to appoar in the congress as tin- : , b
dent of the international peace com
niittee."
Early next morning Napoleon oom
munlcated with hi* brother workers
in the peace conniiitti e. and then lett
the capital. He spent some hours at
work designing a device to he used
on tile aerodromones. With six rna
chines, equipped with men and bar
rels, he headed for the valley of Xiuh
that evening.
They landed in the valley the next
morning and after a peaceful negotise
ion with the high priest the; caugh'
i latge supply of the liquid that had

I -eturned to C!r\ne. While Njtpelroi,
inalyzed the liquid his workmen mac,
several trips between the valley and
I CJryne, carrying the liquid away in
i vast quantities.
Napoleon, after a thorough examine
; tion. sighed. “Here is something new
! It puzzles me, but it solves tite tines
! tion of superiority in the air."
Napoleon's next move was to try
out the new swallow-type machine. lr
was sma’ter titan the Eagle, but the
wings and the tall rudder were com
paratively larger. It had not tie
grace of the Engle in fb.-ht, but its
speed was something unprecedented

Two more days passed. Tite third
found every a> rodrotnonp equipped
with a long tube yen similar to the
old style tire extinguisher. To this
tube was connected a small automatic
gun, which protruded through a sp
! eial aperture in the body of the aero
dromone. The lever controlling thi“
gun was within easy reach of thr
: Horomutt, and the gun itself was so
arranged that it could he pointed in
any direction.
The four aerodromor.es that had
been sent toward the west were re
porting every f, w hours. They had
I seen nothing t-o far that was our o
; the ordinary.
i It was Saturday evening that tin
j last of the aerodromones was mad,
I ready for prompt action. Turning tin
command of the island over to Whir
j tier, Napoleon returned to Washing
, ton. The Swallow made the trfp ii
I two hours.
This Sunday was the first real da
, of rest that Napoleon bail enjoyed foi
! a long time. He found perfect peac
| in the company of his mother ant
wife. Nobody knew he had returned
The surprise that swept over tli
I members of the staff when he a
pea rod in congress Monday morning
was great.
As Napoleon arose the great ha!
became instantly silent. lie bowed
he said:
“Honorable President and Rcpre
sentatives, before ail else l want to
thank you for your kind recepimn '
A loud “hurrah!” stopped him for ;
moment. Then he continued: "Then

“Compatriots, I greet you all!”
A sifrh of satisfaction swept ov
the hall when Napoleon, after thi
short speech, sat down. An air of u.,
