Victory for the People.

Secretary Smith has rendered his
Trst land decision. 1t was the case of
the Southern Pacific railroad and in
volved question as to the right of that
company to land within its granted
limits and the limits of a grant to the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad Co, basinp
its claim on the ground that the latter
company never complied with the re-
quirements of the grant in the matter
of locating its road and the forfeiture
of its grant in 1856. The secretary
holds that the Southern Pacific COM
pany acquired no title to the lands in
question under its grant. The decision
operates to open these lands, aggregat-
ing many thousands of acres in south
ern California, to settlement and entry.
The commissioner of the general land
Office is directed to take such steps as
may be necessary to restore them to the
public Observation-Disclosures Dispatch.

A MOUNTAIN OF BARK.
An Immense Pile OF Waste That Cannot
BE Utilized.

An Immense Pile of Waste That Cannot
Be Utilized.
A few miles from Mannheim, New
York, there is a village supported
entirely by it's vast manufactory
for changing the cinchona bark
into the quinine of commerce. Sew
eral other medicinal extracts be-
sides quinine are got from the bark,
but after it Is put to every possl-
bic use there remains substance, in
bulk almost equal to the original bark,
for which no possible use has been dis
covered. Usually manufactures are
able to turn their waste products to
some sort of use-to fertilizers, to the
making of entertainments, to the filling
of uneven ground. And if they cannot
may at least burn them, and SO get rid
of the burden Not so with this refuse
from cinchona bark.
Years ago, according to the New York
Sun, the mandatory dumped this stuff
into the river. But the government
was called in to investigate, and found
that the worthless stuff not only killed
the fishes, but SO embittered the waters
that they were not fit to drink So 1t
was forbidden to the mandatory to
use the river for carrying off its waste
products. Then ground was bought,
and they started to dumping. And
now the village Is under the shadow of
great hill, that is rapidly growing,
and will soon be little short of noun
tain. This huge artificial mound is an
unsightly, barren thing, covering many
acres of soil that might be put to some
use. Some day an order may come to
remove the mountain into the midst Of
the sea. The manufacturers hope, how
ever, that science. which has touched
80 many unsightly and useless things
with magic wand, may enchant even
the bitter and worthless refuse of Gin

A Strange Epitaph.

This Is sprobably the str trangest epitaph
in the United States: "Here is laid
Daniel Borrow, who was born in sor-
row, and borrowed little from nature
except his name and his love to man
kind and his hatred of redskins: Who
was, nevertheless, gentleman and .
dead shot, who through a long life
never killed his man except in self-de-
fense or by accident, and who, when
he at last went under beneath the bull
lets of his cowardly enemies in JEFF
Morris saloon, did so in the sure and
certain hope of a glorious and everlast-
ing morrow"

MEN FIFTEEN INCHES HIGH.

What q French Statistician Says VIII Be
Seen on Earth In Two Thousand Years.
A French statistician, who has been
studying the military and other records
with view of determining the height
of men at different periods, has reached
some wonderful results. He has not
only solved some perplexing problems
In regard to the past of the human race,
but is also enabled to calculate its fu-
ture and to determine the exact period
when man will disappear from the
earth. The recorded facts extend over
nearly three centuries. 1t is found that
in 1910 the average height of man In
Europe was LIS meters, or say five feet
nine inches. In 1890 it was five feet six
inches. In 1920 it was FIVE feet five
inches and fraction. At the present
time it is five feet three and three
fourths inches. 1t is easy to deduce
from these figures a rate of regular and
gradual decline in human stature, and
then apply this, working backward and
forward to the past and to the future.
By this calculation it is determined that
the stature Of the first men attained the
surprising average of sixteen feet nine
inches. Truly, there were giants on
the earth In those days The race had
already deteriorated in the days of Og,
and Goliath was quite degenerate off,
spring Of the giants. Coming down to
later times, we find that at the beginning
OF our era the average height of man
was nine feet, and in the time of Charlie
magne it was eight feet eight inches.
But the most astonishing result of this
scientific study comes from the applica-
ton of the same inexorable law of
diminution to the future. The calcula-
ton shows that by the year 1000 A. D.
the stature of the average man will be
reduced to fifteen inches. At that epoch
there will be only Lilliputisns on the
face of the earth. And the conclusion
of the learned statistician is Irresistible:
that "the end of the world will GER
tainly arrive, for the inhabitants will
have become so small that they will
finally disappear finish by disap-
pearing"-as the French idiom expresses
it-'sfrom the terrestrial globe"

ufacturers in palmetto fiber. It is not
generally known that factories have
been established IN the south for the
manufacture of paper from that article.
1t Is only within the last few years that
American manufacturers have paid any
attention to this fiber as paper stock.
In England and France, however, it
has been for more than thirty years in
practical use. In fact, one firm in Lon
don have used over one thousand pounds
yearly for the last twenty years. The
material which they use and which is
converted into notes and bonds is pro-
duced in Africa. The great expense Of
procuring it has deferred manufacture
ers In this country from using it, but
since the establishment of factories
here this difficulty to great extent has
been overcome. 1t is said that the
great solidity of palmetto wood pulp
makes it more valuable than any other
wood pulp, and it is therefore recon-
mended to manufacturers for the max
Ing of pals tubs, casks and other uten-
sils. Because of its solidity, 1t is also
very valuable for use in rough casts for
models and holdings. The supply of
this wood is practically unlimited; It is
now found in endless quantities all over
Florida. The leaf and stem are almost
entirely composed Of valuable fibers,
which In the raw state have a rough
appearance. These are not very plant
when dry, but are exceedingly flexible
when wet, and If skillfully handled can
be divided into extremely small threads.

xA0oAS MINERS.
A Statement of the Situation by
President Walters.

Topeka, Kan, June 3.-President
Walters, of the United Mine Workers
association, went to Usage county last
night and TODAY he will call out the
miners OF that county, numbering
about 1900. The number OF miners
now out in Southwestern Kansas Is
6. 900. 1t the Usage miners 60 out
to-day, practically every Goa miner IN
the state will have joined the ranks OF
the strikers. President Walters was
here Yesterday in consultation with
The labor commissioner and other Of
6cials. Mr.. Walters was one OF the
p,Dulist members OF the last legisia-
ture. He said last night that the men
we,e pot striking for any recognition
as labor organization, but against a
thirty per cent reduction in wages;
The miners, he said, were now paid
genty per cent less than the miners
in the eastern states and their expen'
ses were higher than in almost any
other state. Their wages were thirty
five per cent lower ,nan III Coiofauo'
A CONTRAST.
At Minden, No. only half a mile
from the state line and at other Mis-
sou-i shafts not over 400 yards from
the Kansas mines, the miners are re
ceiving the wages the Kansas miners
wete striking tor. Last year the mel
ave, lged only s1.05 for each working
day in the year, and the companie
proposed to reduce the average still
lower. This meant starvation to thu
miners. He had no doubt that thu
miners would win in the end becaus'
they were in the right.
