HOW DEWEY DID 1T.

An incident happened on board the
Olympia the other day that illustrates
the quick, nervous mentality that gov
erns Admiral Dewey's actions. A num-
Der of insurgent junks and launches
were making their appearance I'm the
bay near Cavite, flying Aguinaldo's
flag right under the noses of our big
warships. For time Dewey paid no
attention to them than az IL they had
been water flies, but so numerous did
they become emboldened by the indif-
ference OF our ships, that their pres
ence soon stirred UP the ire OF some of
our officers, who complained 10 the ad-
miral. Whereupon he sent around a
tug and towed them all To Cavite,
bringing the natives aboard his ship.
After giving them TO understand that
the Filipino flag was not recognized,
and that their presence in that vicinity
of the warships was not desired, he dis
missed them and told them to 60 back
and get their junks. One Of the natives
however, resented the entire proceed
ing, and, as he turned from the pres
ence of Dewey, muttered and shook his
head menacingly. The admiral noticed
the natives attitude and asked his in
terpreter what the fellow was saying
"He says he will get even with you,
the interpreter replied.
The admiral, without seconds hest
tation turned to an orderly and In his
quick decisive tone, said:
Throw that man overboard!'
The command was executed instant
er by the brawny American sailor. anC

ing his head as .the splash greeted hi
ears, nor did ne afterward inquire th'

HIGH MARRIAGE LICENSE.

The Chickasaw Legislature, now IN
session az Tishamingo. ]. a., has pass
ed law which Is intended To stop
white men from marrying indian
women by taxing them 5000 for mar

There are about 10000 full-blooded
Indians i'm the chickasaw tribe Whhs
the others are about 10000 IN nuinoer
and are half and quarter bloods' ana
among them are many squaw men,
These squaw men are are whlte men,
who have married Indian women, ana

At the last tribal election the fuli-
bloods, for the first time in 70 years,
got control of the council. S.nce theh
they have made life a burden Tor the
half-breeds and squaw men. Many
laws have been passed detrimental to
their interests. but the most efectiNe
action OF all was taken last week. whef
the price of marriage license was
raised from $50 to 5000.
This is applicable only to white mef
who would marry Indian women. Con

ISOTHERM

Here are some definitions OF iso-
tberms that appear in American text
books of geography:
Those lines which are drawn through
places with an equal average OF tenn
perature are called isotherms.
Isotherms are lines connecting places
having the same mean temperature for
particular periods. as the whole of the
year, the winter or summer months,
etc.
If upon a map all places having the
same mean temperature are connected
by lines, such lines are called isother-
nal lines or simple isotherms.
These definitions are part or the
truth but not the whole OF 1t. 1t may
not be a great calamity. but the fact Is
that most boys and girls leave schooi
with misconception as to what an
isotherm is. and they rarely find out
in later years
They all know that two elements,
latitude and altitude, are the main fac
tors in determining the mean temper
ature of a place; that the further
place IL from the equator ana the
higher il stands above sea level the
cooler it's climate is. But they do not
know that isothermic maps take into
account only one OF these elements,
| and that is latitude. They eliminate the
| influence of altitude. The isotherm
passing over the top of Pixies Peak
| does not show the mean temperature
| al the summit of the mountain, nut
| what the mean temperature would De
| in that immediate neighborhood II the
| land. instead of rising high above the
af
DO YOU see the reason for this? Ii
| NAV be easily explained. Most OF the
| land does not rise so high above the
| sea that the temperature Is greatly
affected by altitude. To the majority
| of manklnu, latitude is far more I'M
| portant climatic element than altitude
| Now the effects on temperature ol
, both latitude and altitude cannot wei
| be shown on one map; and isotherml'
maps were devised TO show the enects
| of latitude and some other elements
| such as position near the sea or in th'
| far interior.
| An isothermic line, therefore, does
not show the actual mean temperature
of n place on it unless that place Is
sea level. But il Is easy TO deduce IRON
the isotherm the actual mean temper
attire of a place IL we know It's eleva
tion above the sea. How this is done i
! very clearly explained by Or. ii. X
Mill. the British geographer, as fol
| lows:
"The air grows cooler by degree
| for every 27O feet OF elevation abov
sea level but isothermic lines shoN
the sea level temperature. In using $50
thermic maps we must therefore re
member that places GOO feet above IN
sea level have a temperature degree
lower man the isotherms indicate
places 5000 feet above the sea, - de
grees lower: those 1900 feet above IN
sea. a. degrees lower, and the mountai
slopes Is, 900 feet above the sea no les
than G6 degrees lower than the sea lev

This accounts for The fact that none {
the important towns in the temporal
zones is situated more than 20O0 Zee
