Ten Pairs Have Multiplied to an Alarming Extent. The American musk-rab is invad- ing Germany. He has not come directly from America, bub by way of Austria. About nine years ago a large landowner of Bohemia im- ported ten pairs of the animals from America and turned them loose on his estate, which lies some twenty-five miles from Prague. They propagated rapidly and soon over-ran' ali hemia. Recently they have crossed the Saxon front- ier into Germany, and now, it ie regarded as only a question of time when all German streams and lakes will be infested with them. The epread of the animals is regarded with alarm by fishermen, for it is claimed that, although vegetariaa in' America, 2 si musk-rat has be- come carnivorous: in Europe, and | the whole tribe of fishes, from the | delicate brook-trout to the heavy, mud-sodden carp, is preyed upon by him indisorimately.

While forests are aflame, peat beds on the moors are burning and many villages have been wiped out. Enormous damage has been done to crops and the suffering of the people is pronounced: fire is burning around the great Schluesslburg dynamite factory, which covers several acres near Ne- va and the plan is in danger of be- ing destroyed. Five thousand sol- diers are fighting the fires, aided y a whole army of peasants. 'Bridges have been burned and railway traffic stopped. Communi- cation has been cub off from many Sections of the empire by the burn- ng of telegraph and telephone poles and the melting of the wires. Famine threatens from the destruc- tion of crops. The money damage will be many millions of dollars. With the destruction of, many hamlets and small towns the people have taken refuge along the shores of lake and rivers or in the cities. a A Lie. A lie, in its stricter sense, is the affirming, by word or by action, of that which is not true, with a pur- ose of deceiving; or the denying, word or by action, of that which is true, with a purpose of deceiv- ing. But the suppressing or oon- cealing of essential facts from one who is entitled to know them, with a purpose of deceiving, may prac- tically amount to a lie. The pur- pose of deception enters into the character of a lie. Concealment may be, or may not be, of the na- ture of deception. Concealment is not right when disclosure is a duty. Conceglment of that which may properly be concealedsis not in itself wrong. Efforts at conceal- ment must, in order to be right, be kept within the limits of strict truthfulness of statement. Con- cealment far the purpose of decep- tion is in' the realm of the lie, 4 Ri Fort William District.
