Mud b

An interesting tenant Of the farm
is the mud-dauber, the best known
of the solitary wasps, whose nests
are found stuck to the rafters in the
attic and outbuildings, or to a nail
in the wall or in an old coatsleeve
behind the door. She places several
cells about al inch long side by side
or on tiers one above another. without
any regard to regularity. AS she tolls
she sings squeaky little solos in a
high key which sounds like a tiny
circular saw as it issues from a piece
OF The the in
dustrious little mason has completed
the cell she sets about to fiji it with
spiders, all of the same species Of
which it takes eighteen on an aver
age. On one of these an egg is de-
posted, which DON matches into a
grub and Immediately begins to de-
our the feast Of paralyzed spiders.
When it has eaten all, it spins a dark
brown covering for itself which is
about transparent. At the proper
time it breaks through the walls Of
it's mud house and proudly jerks it's
pretty %steel-blue wings with the same
graceful f1irt as did mother while
she was busily engaged with her nest
building.-Country Life in America.

SECRETARY OF TREASURY
TAKES THE STUMP.
SPECIAL SPEECH At BOSTON
Will Devote Himself Exclusively to
Trust Issue While in Mas.
sachusetts Town.

Washington, Sept. 28.-Secretary
Shaw has arranged, at the request o1
the congressional committee, to make
a series Of ~ speeches, beginning in
New York on October z on the 90
casion of the laying OF the corner
stone of the new custom house, and
ending at Omaha, which is only sc
miles from his home in Dennison, la.
He will put in the interval between
the close of his tour and election
day at his home, returning to Wash
ington as soon as he has cast his bal
lot.
Perhaps the most notable of Sec
rotary Shaw's speeches will be that
delivered in Boston October s. 1t
will be devoted exclusively to the
trust issue, and this is said to have
been chosen as his topic at the re-
quest Of the president.
The other places at which he will
speak are Hartford, Baltimore, Column
bus, Ohio; indianapolis, Princeton,
Terre Haute, Ann Arbor, Detroit, Mil
waukee, Minneapolis, Sioux Falls,
Yankton, Wayne, Neb., and Omaha.
Secretary Moody has also been urg-
ed to make a similar trip, and he has
about decided to do so.

HAYTrs 1000 GENERALS.
Only One-Tenth Paid About Every
Tenth Pay Day.

Tenth Pay Day.
In the Haytian army are 1000 gen.
erals and 1000 privates. The divis.
ion of the honors is nearly as compre-
hensive as in Mindanao, where the
sultans seem to be almost as plen-
tiful as their subjects. In Hayti, as
in the United States, every citizen
may aspire to be president, but mil
itary rank is a material aid to prefer
ment. 1t is, therefore, an essential
to have the rank of general: Those
who do not have it do not want it,
or have not the money to pay for the
ep~aulettes, which are the chief reward
for obtaining the title. Only every
tenth general ! n Hayti gets paid, the
positions Of the others being honor
airy, and, from the reports that come
from Hayti, it seems that every tenth
general is paid only every tenth pay
day. The system is exceedingly en-
cOuraging for revolutions, For when
the revolution is under Roadway ev-
erybody pays himself out Of such
funds as he can lay hands on. 1t
isn't every republic that can be a
glorious example to decadent mon
archs.-Chicago Tribune.

Temperature of Forests

For twenty years the Swiss govern
ment has been making observations
through it's forestry stations on the
temperature of the air, of the trees
and of the soil in the forests. These
observations show that the tempera.
ture in the forests is always below
the temperature outside. The tenn
perature also varies according to the
trees composing the forests.
A beech forest is always cooler
thar a forest of larch. As to the
trunks OF the trees, they are always
cooler than the surrounding air. Re.
gardlng the temperature of the soil.
1t IS found that in the forest the tenn
perature is Invariably below that of
the air. Outside the forest the soil
IS always warmer than the air in
summer and cooler in winter.-Pear-
sons Weekly.

Hyqienic Terrors.

A gern-proof house is the latest
addition to the hygienic terrors of
life. 1t is not yet actually in exist
ence, but medical congresses are. bus
lily and even hopefully paving the
way fer it's advent. When it arrives,
and we are all thoroughly scientific
and uncomfortable, our homes will
be s%ingle-storied, without stairs, built
on gravel soil, destitute of cellars,
with concrete and blocks of earthen-
ware pierced for ventilation" placed
upon the floor, and the ordinary
bricks will be superseded by glazed.
and tightly fitting hygienic brick"
The roof will be tiled, not slated,
and the windows will reach from
top to bottom of the walls. The din
ing table will be of polished mahog-
any, the chairs cushionless or stuffed
with medicated wool. The walls ought
to be made of a cement that takes
a high polish, can be stained to any
color and washed frequently. Cur
tains and draperies of all kinds will
be abolished; pictures will be per-
mitted only when let into the cement
walls; for artistic touches we shall
be depending on plants of the india
and eucalyptus type" In no
will there be to harbor
dust and bacteria and the skirting
will always curve into the hardwood
parquet floors instead of striking them
at right angles.-London Chronicle.

WHY THE MILWAUKEE SUSPEND.
ED ITS WESTERN SURVEY.
THEY HAVE AN AGREEMENT
Traffic Arrangements Entered Into
With Northern Pacific for North
western Coast Business.

Sioux City, Ia, Sept. 28.-It is
known that the Chicago, Milwaukee 4
st. Paul railroad is planning an ex-
tension west from Chamberlain, S.
D., past the Black Hills and on to
Denver, thence later to the Southern
Pacific coast.
Simultaneous with the publication
of this fact, it becomes known that
the st. Paul has succeeded in making
favorable traffic arrangements with
the Northern Pacific for the transfer
OF northwestern Pacific business at
the junction of their lines at Linton,
N. D. This is the real reason, never
before known, why the st. Paul, two
months ago, called in the surveyors
working on the proposed extension
from Evarts, S. D., to the northern
Pacific coast. The traffic arrange
ment vas considered satisfactory for
the handling of business to that Sec
ton.
Then the st. Paul set about the Sc
curing Of an independent line to
southern California, such as would not
be too detrimental to the interests
of the Hartman lines, with which
it is desired to continue amicable re-
lations.
The stone is already being unloaded
at Chamberlain for the bridge across
the Missouri river at Chamberlain.
IF the St. Paul crosses the Mis-
scuri river, it will not stop till it
reaches the coast" is the way it is
put by a man intimate with the Mil
waukee roads affairs.
AS a part of the plan of the Mil
waukee, it is now expected that the
Platte, S. D., line will be extended
to Pukwana, where connection with
the Chamberlain extension will be
given; and OF to Orient, S. D., to give
direct connection with the extension
to Linton, N. D. The st. Paul's South
Dakota lines will then be so arrang-
ed as to afford direct routes for bus
mess originating in almost any of
its territory and destined for any
coast poine.

requiring taxation to be uniform,
throughout the United States until
congress extends the constitution to
such territory.
1t Is further contended that the
various acts of congress establishing
a code OF criminal laws, homestead
and townsite laws for Alaska. clearly
extended the constitution to that dis
trict, thus furnishing good ground
for the claim that the duties. taxes
and imposts there should be uniform
with those in other parts Of the coun-
try.
The defense Of the Is
in the hands Of Assistant Attorney
General James M.kBeck and Solicitor
General Richards. The former has
prepared a brief, setting forth he.
plan of defense. It will be commended
mat the power to impose these H.
fees is not derived from the
general power Of taxation provided
for in article 1, section 8 of the con-
stitution, but from the plenary
TO make all needful rules and reg,-
lations respecting the territory or
other property belonging to the Unit
ed States" The exercise OF such now
er is, therefore, not subject to the
provision limiting the general power
OF taxation, either as to apportion-
ment or uniformity.
It will also be argued that the IL
n fees exacted from the Tread
Mining company are a part of
a penal code, and in the nature OF
police regulations, and in the judg-
ment OF congress necessary for the
due government Of the territory by
of its peculiar conditions. An
other point that will be made is that
SO far as the appellants are concern
ed, the fees are not taxes in the pro
per ense of the word, but are the
consideration which they, as foreign
corporations, pay for the privilege of
doing business in Alaska. The gov
eminent will hold that If taxed at all,
these license fees are local taxes i'm
posed by congress al the legislature
Of Alaska and paid into the treasury
Of the United States as the only treas
lry of Alaska, and obviously intended
to meet the expenses of governing
this unorganized territory.

Last April, when on his way to Eu-
rope, Mr.. Wibaux called on his old
ranch comrade, President Roosevelt,
by request of the latter, and a story
was put in circulation that the presi-
dent consulted with him on the ques-
ton Of leasing the Npblic domain.
Mr.. Wibaux refused to confirm or con-
tradict this, but said he savors a leas-
ing bill, although he does not believe
congress will tackle the puzzle.
Asked about the prospect of Ger
many removing it's existing embargo
on American meats, he stated that
when in Europe recently the German
newspapers teemed with popular com
plant and indignation over the tao
tics of the agrarian party and express
ed the opinion that sooner or later
the embargo would be removed.
France, he says, is producing all the
meat its population needs.

DANGERS OF
Causes Death of Man and Infects
Another.

st. Louis, Sept. 25.-Dr. Carl Fisch
of 1912 Pine street, a member of the
consulting board of the city hospital,
has had the first joint of the index
finger of his left hand amputated be-
cause Of it's having become infected
with anthrax germs. DR.. Fisch was
n of the physicians who assisted
last Saturday in a post-mortem exam
ination of the body of Henry Dryer,
the butcher who died of anthrax. 1t
is thought that at the examination
DR.. Ffsch p%unctured the skin of his
finger with a surgical instrument and
became inoculated with the disease
of the dead man.
A few hours after the examination
the finger began swelling and in such
an unusual manner that DR.. Fisch be-
came, frightened and had it taken eff
at the first joint to keep the disease
from spreading. The other members
of the consulting board who took part
in the post norton were Doctors
Mudd, Crandall, Snodgrass, Sharp.
Witherspoon and Superintendent
Nietest.
Dryer, who died last Friday even
ing from anthrax, was the first case
on the local records of a man dying
Of that disease. He entered the hos
pital Friday morning. He had called
1T the city hospital the day before
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1902-09-30

and was examined by DIR. Vogel, who
declared that he was suffering from
anthrax. Dryer at first refused to
20 to the hospital and went away.
He went back to the ~dispensary the
next day, however, and asked to be
sent to the hospital. His case had
advanced too far and little could be
done for him. The disease was con-
tracted from handling hides.

THIRD ANNUAL REPORT ON lR.
RiGATIoN INVESTIGATIONS.
SOMETHING new LEARNED
Mead Finds Large Arid Region in
This State Where Crops
Are Grown.

. -E. ~ nv I'LL I
annual report of the irrigation inves
tigation by the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, made under the
direction Of Elwood Mead, says thai
averages of measurements embracins
nearly all Of the arid states, show
that in the past three years enough
water was turned into the heads Of
bitches during the irrigation season
to the land irrigated to a depth
OF 4.45 feet; or, stated another way
4.45 acre-feet of water were taken
from streams for every acre of lane
irrigated.
A large part Of this water supply
was lost in transit through seepage.
Measurements. at the heads Of later
ais showed an average loss in the
main canal of II per cent. Measure
ments at the margin Of fields on six
large canal systems showed that only
AZ per cent of the water turned in at
the head gates was delivered to farm
ers. This large loss shows that, in.
the direction of better construction
of distributing works, great improve
ment is possible.
Another interesting table shows the
value of the crops grown for each
acre-foot Of water used. They vary
from $1.32 to $1.22 an acre-foot, water
bringing the least return when used
on alfalfa and the largest on nursery
stock. Crops that require irrigation
in the last half of the season have a
far greater value than those which re-
quire irrigation in the first half, the
average value per acre of crops irri-
gated in the last half of the season
being $49.39. While those in the first
half have a value Of only STE 0 AS
a rule, this late season water can be
secured only through storage and the
cost of the reservoirs has to be charg-
ed against the extra value Of the
crops. Experience shows, however,
that the storage pays farmers and will
increase largely the productive value
OF lanQS. Az
Important Discovery.
Arid land crop conditions in central
Montana heretofore unknown to the
department of agriculture, were dis
covered by Mr.. Mead. He found much
larger areas of arid land there with
crops in successful growth than he'll
had ever supposed possible. In "a
majority of seasons, he says, crops
can grow on these tracts without any
irrigation and very little water, much
less than is usually required for grow
ing crops. The area involved is along
the mountain slopes south and east
of Great Falls, Mont.
The department of agriculture re-
CARDS the discovery of these arid
land conditions as important and CO.
operative work will be undertaken by
the government. 1t is purposed to
study the means availabel to save the
water supply from the mountain
The government work will
be under the direction of Professor
Fortier, director of the Montana agri-
cultural experimental station. Similar
non-irrigated arid land crops are
in the Milk river valley in
Montana and in many parts of the
Dakotas.
