DR.. Jordan's Work at Samoa.

DR.. David Starr Jordan, of Stanford
University, Mrs. Jordan, and Professor
V. L. Kellogg returned on the Oceanic
steamship Sonoma from the Samoan
Islands, where Mr.. Jordan has been
conducting a thorough exploration or
the coral reefs and making a collection
of their animal life for the United
States Government. The outer coral
reef of the American island, Tutuila,
which is five miles in length, was thor
oughly explored for its marine organ
isms. Dynamite was used in it's larger
holes to bring the deep-sea fishes to the
surface, and fish poison was used in the
smaller cavities of the rock for the
same purpose. A large number of ma
tives were also employed in the capture
of the surf fish. In all some 10000
specimens were secured, divided into
617 species. Over 100 of these species
were before unknown to science, and
some 200 of them were unknown to
Dr. Jordan. Five large tanks filed with
fish have already arrived at Stanford
and the whole collection,
after it has been more thoroughly
classified and arranged, will be divided
between the National Museum at
and the geological museum

Thought II Was a Joke.

During a discussion of the manners OF
the sons of distinguished Americans, the
other evening, an instructor in one of the
private military academies along the Hud-
son river told this story:
THE faculty of our school were delight
ed when Governor Crane, of Massachu-
sets, sent his son to us, and we all grew
very fond of him, for he was a bright and
extremely modest youth. In fact, his mod
esty was so Marked that we often talked
about it among ourselves One day there
came to lne school party of distinguish
ed visitors, and the principal called up a
number of the brightest boys in order to
question them. Among these was young
Crane.
Robert, who is the governor of Mas
sachusetts?' inquired he, turning to the
boy suddenly.
THE youth thought for time and then
answered: I am sure / don't know
You certainly don't mean to tell me
you do not know who the governor of
your own state tsp replied the astonshed
man. Think a moment longer
I am sorry, sir, but 1 really don't
know answered the boy,
why, Robert your father is the gov
ernor of Massachusetts, exclaimed the
bewildereu principal.

Facts Concerning Liquor.

The United States official reports con-
tain some interesting figures concerning
the liquor traffic in Maine, Kansas, New
Hampshire and Observation-Disclosures
states. There are 1,151 retail liquor dealers
in Maine, which means one liquor dealer
for each COB of the population. In New
Hampshire there are LASS dealers, or one
to every 293 persons. In Vermont there
are 1,4US dealers, or one to each LOSS of
population. In Kansas there are 2,756 deal
ers, or one to every $50 persons. These
are United States government figures
Recently at a single term of court in
Portland, Maine, 294 indictments were re-
turned against liquor dealers. These fig
ures indicate that the liquor dealers are
doing lively business in the oldest Pro-
hibition state in the union. According to
the report Of the United States Commits
sioner of Labor for 1897 the municipal Ii
cense fees ana special taxes On liquor for
the benefit Of the municipalities in Maine
amounted TO $S,606. The fines collected
for the benefit of counties amounted to
$S29 This makes a total Of over s1Oo-
COO the towns and counties received from
the liquor traffic, which is prohibited by
the fundamental law. The state received
nothing except $500 for "state agency
the license fees or special taxes collected
by counties and municipalities in Kansas
from liquor dealers amounted to s5S07,
