W. W. CATLIN
CONING UP
W. H. GILMOUR RECEIVES LET
TER OF INTEREST TO ALL
KETCHIKANERS.
W. H. Gilmour, an old-time resi
dent of the city and well known
mining man, is in receipt of a
letter from Mr. W. W. Catlin, of
Venice, California, himself an old
time resident and well known min
ing man of this vicinity, in which
he says that he will soon be with
us. He has bonded the Sunset Min
ing property from his associate
owners and he is coming up to su
pervise the work that is intended to
be done.
Incidentally, Mr. Catlin, who Is
secretary of the Venice Chamber
of Commerce, where he has been
residing for the last several years,
has sent Mr. Gilmour a copy of a
resolution adopted by the mem
bers of that commercial body hav
ing for its object the elimination
of the word "war” and substitute it
for "peace” with the request that
it be published- The resolution fol
lows:
WHY NOT?
With the exception of a few
mercenaries, all people* favor peace
rather than war- The question up
on which differences of opinion
arise is as to the most effective
way of promoting peace and dis
couraging war. Therefore, it would
seem that any action to that end
that could do no possible harm, and
might do great good, would be
favored by all thinking people
With that purpose in view the
Venice Chamber of Commerce in
vites your interest and support In
behalf of an effort to induce Con
gress to change the name of the
War Department to Peace Depart
ment, and the name of Secretary
of War to Secretary of Peace—or
Secretary for Peace.
The psyychological influence of
such a change would inevitably be
helpful and might be great, as it
would tend to develop in the minds
of people the belief that preserva
tion of peace and not preparation
for war is the purpose for which
that department of our Govern
ment is maintained.
Shortly before his death, Prof.
William James—one of the world’s
greatest psychologists and most
highly developed men — wrote as
follows on the psychological in
fluence of the constant use of the
word “war” in our literature and
life, to-wit: N
"The word has become a pure
provocative, and no government
wishing peace sincerely should
allow it ever to be printed in a
newspaper. It may even reason
ably be said that the intensely
sharp competitive preparation
for war by the nations is the
real war, permanent, unceasing,
and that the battles are only a
sort of public verification of
the mastery gained during the
’ peace interval-”
The change we advocate would
not alter in the least degree the
work being done and contemplated
by the said department of the Gov
ernment, but it would in some meas
ure, and in an ever-increasing de
gree, implant in the minds of peo
ple the idea that its purpose is the
maintenance of peace and the pre
vention of war. Such a change
would be desirable from every
point of view and harmful in no
way whatever—except flrom the
standpoint of those who are mer
:enarily-active in fomenting strife
and creating war
Will you not give this idea the
support of your influence ? It is
only a thought-seed as yet, but its
potentialities are great.
An acorn may become an oak,
A thought beget a nation,
And so this quiet influence
May aid peace-preservation- *

DYEING SILK BEFORE
IT REALLY IS SILK
Silk is the secretipn of two glands
of the silkworm lying alongside the
digestive canal. These glands, which
consist of numerous coiled tubes,
terminate in a spinning-wart. From
a common orfice in the spin
ning-wart the secretion, of the
consistency of honey, issues forth,
promptly hardening into a thread
on exposure to the air. Usually the
silk is colorless on leaving the
body of the silkwprm, but some
times it is straw yellow or green
ish. Why? The answer has been
a matter of long dispute. Some
claim that the larva itself pro
duces the color; others ascribe it to
impurities acquired upon secretion;
still others are of the opinion that
the green color of the leaves of
the mulberry tree is the cause.
Two French scientists, Levrat and
Conte, determined tp settle the dis
pute. They fed silkworms on mul
berry leaves which had been satur
ated with nonpoisonous aniline red
and aniline blue- With wliat re
sult? Not only -were the silkworms
turned red or blue but /their secreted
silk assumed the respective cojors.
W)ho knows but some day we may
be dyeing silk in the leaf instead of
ih the vat?
A DOG WHO REALLY
DICTATES A LETTER
Some remarkable facts are made
public by Dr. Arundel Del Re, of
University College, London, regard
ing a reasoning dog at Mannheim,
Germany. According to Prof. Will
iam Macken' ‘ 3, who made a special
visit some time ago to investigate
the acts of this dog, an Airedale ter
rier about 3 years old and named
Rolf, the names of other scientists
who examined this dog are suffi
cient guarantee of the facts of the
case
The dog first attracted the notice
of Mme- Moekel, its owner, to its
extraordinary powers one day, when
she was trying to coax her little
daughter to do a simple sum in
addition- In chiding her child, the
mother said: “I am sure even Rolf
could tell me how much two and
two make.”
The dog responded to the sug
gestion by wagging his tail and
tapping four times with his paw
on the arm of his mistress. After
this incident Mme- Moekel determin
ed to teach Rolf, and by a simple
code of numbers the dog gradually
became proficient in solving simple
arithmetical problems
By a modification of phonetic
writing, with syllabic values given
to the consonants by the use of
their names, the dog was trained
to answer questions, as well .as
voluntarily to express his thoughts.
An example of this wonderful abil
ity is given in a letter dictated by
the dog to Prof. Machenzie after
his departure from Mme- Moekel’s
home- The letter, as quoted, read:
“Lieb Doktor, bald kommen nim
mer gehen, mir Bilder geben, auch
eins von Dir, viel Grass, .Dein Lol”
(the dog’s pet name )
The following is the translation
of Rolf’s letter, in childish English:
“Dear Doctor, coming soon, never
will go. Give me pictures, one of
yours, too. Many regards- Your
Lol.”
It is said that the dog took the
initiative in dictating this letter,
tapping out each letter by code.
