THE HELENA QUADRANGLE
Interesting Publication by the Geo
logical Survey.
Special to The Journal.

Washington. Dec. 19.-The United
States Geological survey has now in press
and will shortly issue a topogra pllical map
of the district surrounding Helena, Mont,
known as the Helena quadrangle. The
map will embrace portions of Lewis and
Clarke. Powell. Deerlodge. Silverbow and
Jefferson counties. including the towns Of
Anaconda. Butte, Boulder. and Deerlodge.
The scale will be 1.250. 900. or about four
miles to the inch, and will be sufficiently
large to show In considerable detail the
location of all settlements, roads and
trails. and all drainage features and
boundaries. Elevations above sea level
and the prominent Topographic features of
the region are admirably shown by con-
tour, lines, which pass through points of
equal elevation at intervals Of 200 feet. In
this way are shown the shapes and slopes
Of the mountain masses forming the con-
tinental divide. which tTaVerses the region
in crests frC m 1000 to nearly 5000 feet in
elevation.
An interesting feature of the man lies
in the fact that on it appear the head
waters Of streams flowing through Mis-
souri, river to the Gulf of Mexico, and
within mile or less the waters of other
streams which pass to the Pacific ocean
by way of Columbia river. s-~.
The map is one of twenty topogra phic
sheets covering different portions Of Mon
tana issued by the Geological survey

GERMANY'S MODERN DRAMA
Dramatists and Even Actors Resent the
...- importation OF Foreign
=. Notions.


rs- ..,.-..~ 49, Brooklyn Eagle.
German dramatists and the devotees of
the modern drama are jealous Of their
craft and resent the importation Of any
foreign article unless 1t bear the hand
mark Of Ibsen. Bjornsen or one or two
Russian dramatists Of the gloomy type.
For In the German dramatic world there
are agrarians who cry. German drama
for Germany just as there are agrarians
in the reichstag who want to exclude
American beef, sausage and grains. They
swear loyalty by their Hauptmann, Suder-
mann, Halbe and Philippi. But the polit-
zeal agrarians have their opponents and
the dramatic agrarians have theirs, for
the assistant stage manager, scene shifter
and costumemakers are thrown out of
jobs.
The coming season promises another
deluge Of the modern drama. The kaiser
and royalty may disapprove and refrain
from favoring the drama with Its patron
age, but the theatergoing public who con-
tributes to the balance sheet credit page,
dictates and it's command is away with
the esthetic and let us have the filth of
the gutter as the kaiser says in good
German idiom.

HOW TO CLIMB THE STAIRS
Go Slowly, Tread on the Ball Of the Foot,
Don't Lean Forward, and
Avoid Backache.
Medical Talk.

So slowly, iFeao on the 6all OF the DOT,
Don't Lean Forward, and
Avoid Backache.
Medical Talk.
."'Those stairs will be the death, of me
yet" You have heard the expression of
such sentiment, if. indeed, you have not
felt the probability of the same unvoiced
prophecy.
Girls complain to me Of backache,
and quickly say: You know I have to
go up and down stairs so much this year."
The flights to which they refer are in
town hail. the steps are high and the
flights are long-yet some can climb them
several times a day and not have
grumbling back or any other uncomforta-
BILE result. The secret lies in the way
they do 1t. "a =, -
A girl is putting aEsevere strain on her
back when she goes UP stairs. using a
heavy fat-footed tramp She is I'M
comfortable, heavy step jars her spine
and head. and to make the ordeal as short
as possible she hurries and possibly runs
Naturally the body demonstrates at such
unjust trea trnent. Il -, *@,
II have watched carefully the manner
which most people adopt. and think that
you will agree that this Is a very common
spectacle One woman Z frequently see
ascending stairs leans so far over that
when she turns the spiral she Invariably
puts her hands on the upper stairs.
Try another way If you want to feel all
the exhilaration and buoyancy of an ex-
cellent exercise. Keep the weight we'll
over the advanced foot, with the chest the
farthest point forward. To strike only
the ball of the foot on the stairs gives
buoyancy Of step to most people; although
some claim they can place the whole foot
lightly on the stairs to good advantage. p
Be sure and take your time. Remember
you are lifting the weight of the body
many times, and it is no light exercise.
The work the back has to do ought to
be no greater going upstairs correctly
than when on a level. The legs are the
members of your bodily community which
ought to perform that service for YOU
I have known medical authorities to
recomm end walking upstairs correctly as
good exercise for reducing prominent alb
domen and relieving indigestion.
Therefore the commonly conceived bug
bear Of some housekeepers may become
a boon. They ought to%reach the top Of
the stairs exhilarated, feeling the glow Of
healthful exercise
