Are there any of those who have.nore than enough of this world s goods that will give some of it to their more unfortunate neighbors?

Thinktof the millions that are wat1ngsfor that baby that was born into the world at New York a week ago. Perhaps Governor Chamber lain had that in mind when he advised those who had plenty to divide with their more unfortunate fellowmen.

IN THE SEAH'S PALACE.

 SQuaIor and Luxury.


 The palace of the shah of Persia, &C., cording to Capt. Donald Stuart, in ''The Struggle for Persia" is, %,an appalling combinations of dinginess and splendoT, of squalor and luxury. One of the'most interesting rooms is that filled with; the portraits of all the monarchs of Europe. In the next room is his majesty's writ ing apparatus. Here stands g globe such as may be seen in a school room, except that the continents are made with gems of different colors, and all the names of rivers are marked in diamonds. On the walls 8 painting by an old master is framed next to 8 highly-colored adver- tisement of dealer in f1shhooks. The throne itself is a sort of wooden bed, about nine feet by. six, the woodwork covered with diamonds, emeralds, rubies and sapphires, some an inch long. The value of the whole is estimated roughly at a million pounds. On the floor of the throne is a carpet so thick with pearls that the texture of the cloth is hardly visible, while a huge vase, set with turquoises and pearls, stands side by side with a cheap urn, such as is sometimes seen at county fairs

MITsUMATA EXPERIMENTS.
Japanese Plant Out of Which Good Paper Is Made May Be Intro
 duced in the South,

Interesting experiences are now be- ing carried on by the department of agriculture with new paper plant from Japan, called mitsumata- The experiments are the result of one of the trips of Barbour Lathrop, of Chi cago, and D. G. Fairchild, foreign agent for the department, to Japan and other foreign countries in search of plants for the government.
 | Mitsumata Is adapted to warmer parts of the country and is one of the most valuable plants known for the production of bark paper, so much used by the Japanese. It offers an en- tirely new crop to the south if it can be successfully raised here. Forty two million Japanese live upon the revenue created by manufacturing pa- per, and most of the product is m&nu- factured from bark cultivated upon an area about one-third the size of the state of Illinois.
 The mitsumata plant fourishes upon land too poor for rice growing, is es- pecially adapted to clay soil and from 500 to 2,000 pounds of raw bark are produced upon a single acre. This pulp is worth in Japan from 15 to 16 cents gold per pound, or just four times as much as the wood pulp i'm ported from America sells for in Yoko- hama

Origin of the Grain Weight.

The Druggists Circular and Chemical Gazette publishes the following inter- esting note on the origin of the grain weight: By an English law passed in 1866, 1t was provided that silver penny, called sterling, should equal in weight 32 wheat grains, well dried, and taken from the center of the ear. From this it seems evetdent that the grain of wheat was the prototype of the standard grain. The weight now known as the grain is of course copied from governmental standards. In 1926 cer- tain weights and measures were legal ized in England, and in 1927 copies of these were furnished our government. among them being the troy pound, equivalent to 5,76O grains. The origin of the signs commonly used for the scru- pie, drachm and ounce does not seem to be known. It is not unlikely that they are entirely, arbitrary.

Experience with a Torpedo.

Experience with a Torpedo.
 An exploring expedition in a remote part of China had a queer experience, which one of the party thus relates: "A large bottle of carbolic acid had been broken inside it's wooden case. We ex- hausted our ingenuity in hopeless effort to unscrew the cover. We feared to carry it farther, as the burning tears distilled by it destroyed everything it touched. We dared not throw it aside, lest the unsophisticated heathen should drink it as cheering or medicinal bev- craze. We had no time to wait and empty it, as the fatal fluid would only trickle drop by drop through a chink which had been cautiously and labori- ously excavated with blunt hunting knife. What were we to do. Degrading as the confession must appear, we had to deposit the torpedo in the middle of the yard and throw bricks at it until it was smashed"

So near and yet so far, is what the mighty*men ofythe Yale football squad have been saying since Saturday af- ternoon. As the game progressed they looked for nothing worse than a tie, but the mighty kick of Captain De Witt at the eleventh hour cast pail over their hopes that had its effect. Run tug and tackle as they pleased, they could not get the coveted touch down that would even up things. Princeton's victory Saturday leaves next Saturdays game more in doubt than ever. To be sure, Harvard was whipped by Dartmouth. but the defeat of Yale will give the Crimson courage, and the result will be watched with more interest than if Yale had won her game Saturday.

WIND AND WATER POWER.
Fine Maps shoyv1ng& the Utilization of%These ESrses insthe F. v German EmPzue.

The Germans, ,Snores sthan any other people, express sssallfindsofmaterialfacts in maps. It is graphicsmethod ofim- parting information, and the Germans give it very clealy and, accurately by eartographic processes, says the New. York Sun.
 Among recent specimens oftthese fine maps are two in colors showing the dts- tribution, one of wind motors and the other of water motors, throughout the empire.
 Looking at the map which shows the, extent to which wind power Is used we see at a glance that this motive force is almost entirely neglected in the noun tainous southern part of the country. Windmills are chiefly confined to the wide, atplain of north Germany where the winds have greater>force and sweep.
 It is different with the water motors. Looking at the water power map we see that, except among the glacial lake re- gions of Mecklenburg and Pomerania, water power is very little employed on the northern plain. It is, however, used to considerable extent along the south ern edge of the plain, where many streams descend from the highlands to join the big rivers.
 But the water power map shows also that water is extensively used to drive machinery throughout the German high lands of the south, particularly along the mountain ranges, where the precipitation is greater than in the north, and the streams have great fall and impetus. Very little machinery is driven by wa ter along the Rhine, the Weser, the Elbe and the Oder of north Germany; which illustrates the fact that, as rule, great water masses are not used for power. It Is usually the smaller volumes among the mountains, where there are rapid streams descending steep, long slopes, that turn the water wheels. These small CT streams are supplying most of the water power that is utilized in Ger many.
 As in other countries, however steam has very largely replaced wind and wa ter power in Germany. Among all the manufactories of the empire, large and small, only 18;362, or 12 per cent. of them, use wind power; 54 ,259, or 36 per cent, use water power, and 58,530, or 38 per cent, employ steam.
 The remainder are driven by gas, pc troleum, alcohol, compressed air, or cleo tTicity

The Isthmian canal is destined to be one of the most remarkable triumphs of modern engineering science applied to the annihilation of time and dis tance, says a writer in the Engineer ing Magazine. By the strange irony of fate, however, it will pass through portion of a country more deficient in means of communication than any oth- CT settled and pseudo civilized territory throughout the world Tn the depart ment Of Panama are three open sea- ports, the two railway terminals, and Bocas del Toro, the center of a large banana industry, to the north of Colon
 Excepting the railway it cannot be said to have advanced far in. the develop ment of internal communication since the early years of the Spanish occupa- ton; indeed, in some measure, pro- gress has been backward, for not few of the paved roads built by the Span fards in the first half of the sixteenth century are now overgrown and im- passable. The isthmus, however, as compared with the mainland of Co., lombia, is a small country and a mere waste of forest and swamps. Yet, in the other eight departments, some teening with mineral wealth, others blessed with fine pasture lands and rich soil capa ble of,producing unlimited quantities of coffee. cacao, sugar and tobacco, there are little more than 300 miles of constructed railway and. out side the towns, not a dozen miles of decent road. Tn the interior, away from the railways and great naviga- ble rivers, transportation is by pack mules and porters. travelling over bri- dle paths, just as'it was three and four centuries ago. The people are fully aware of the richness of their country and the possibilities of the latter were it properly developed, but for years past they have been the victims of bad government. and too generally occu- pied with civil wars to pay much at- tention to even the most urgently de manded internal Improvements.

A new enemyahas invaded the great pine orestssthatsfringe the base of Mt Shasta and spread away#forshundreds of miles in every direction. Great trees, three,a five, seven feet in, diameter, that have all but defeated the slow work of the woodsnien. who with axs andssaw on shoulder marched against the forest giants, are falling before the modernen- zines.
 The axman3is bound'to disappear from the forest ofxthe coast range. The new 'lumberman," in the form of ofa,pneumatic engine, has come Sintoathe forests and is displacing scores of theibrawny wielders of the ax.
 Several of these engines are now in use in the forests of Shasta county, some 12 or 14 miles from Mt. Shasta. says Me- Loud Cal, correspondent oftheNew York Herald. Each crew ofsseven men does the work that formerly required 25 woodsmen. Each gang has a traction engine, which carries 8 compressed air reservoir. Long rubber tubes lead from the tank to that part of the forest where the gang Is working. To the far end of the tubes are attached pneumatic en- zines, which drive great crosscut saws at & terrific speed.
 One of :these: saws will cut through 8 pine tree five feet In diameter in five minutes, whereas the same work done by two men consumed at least one hour. When the trees have been felled two or more of these pneumatic saws are set to work cutting the trees into logs, and work that woodsmen could not do in three hours is now done in 15 minutes. Two men wfsh one of the saws can easily cut 75, ,000 feet of logs in day
 Of the seven.men in gang the first two go among the, trees after they are felied and fasten on%the trees hooked frames which hold the saw. The third man comes along and spades out the earth be- heath the log, directly under the frames. The next two men in turn attach the saws and engines, and following these come two more who watch the saws as they eat their way through the tree. .-.+
 '7he engine complete weighs but 50 pounds, and is carried about on the shoul- ders of the Iumbermen., It is constructed entirely of brass, and iron tubing. It makes 150 strokes per minute without stopping for rest, while two men do not drive crosscut saw of the same size more than 30 strokes per minute. ~
