GOVERNMENT BOARD
MAKES MANY CHANGES

The forms Allegany, Allegheny and
Allegheny applied TO five counties, a
large city, river, a mountain range
and many smaller places, have long
puzzled good spoilers. Uncle Sam now
spells the river and mountain Allie
gheny, and leaves the forms of other
places undisturbed. Chinese and other
Oriental place names heretofore COM
pounded are spelled as one word, viz:
Hoangho (river. China, not Hoang-
Ho; Liaotung (peninsula), not Lao
Tung; Niuchwang (treaty port), not
New-Chwang. In British Indian ter
minology "pur" has taken the place of
poor" and pore" viz: Cawnpur, not
Cawnpoor or Cawnpore. Russian
names in Alaska terminating in the
equivalent of of, off, ow or ov are gvi-
en- the form of, viz: Baranof, Pribilof
(not Prybiloff).
The island of Puerto Rico (rich
port)' had its American name fixed as
Porto Rico by act of Congress (ApriI
IL, 1900. The old terror .ApaIachi-
cola has been relieved of some of its
power TO embarrass by having one "p''
cut out, as here given. According to
the rule, the III in Pittsburgh should
be omitted; but the people of that

as IL appears in the city's charter.

THE Russo-Japanese war has
raised many perplexing question
as &c, the spelling of proper names.
Il The different spelling of the name
of the same place in newspapers and
magazines is confusing and has created
a demand for some reasonably definite
authority, says the. Philadelphia
Ledger.
In a manner so quiet that very few
persons have ever heard of il, Uncle
Sam has been conducting a sman but
very select spelling school for some
time, and has issued several INSTALL
nents of a new spelling book that will
greatly disturb teachers, scholars, map
makers and a host of other people who
would ordinarily be champions in any
spelling bee.
The prime object is to secure uni
fornity in the spelling of geographical
names in all Government publications.
A board sitting in Washington takes up
all place names of more than one form
that may be submitted TO it. applies to
them a code of rules formulated for the
purpose and then votes on the forms
suggested by the members. The form
receiving a majority vote becomes the
official one, and under the act OF Con-
sress creating the board will hereafter
be used in all Government publications,
including maps.

German papers report that steps are
being taken in Algeria to manufacture
natural soap on a large scale from u
tree known as "Sapindus utilis." This
plant which has long been known in
Japan, China and India, bears a fruit
of about the size Of a horse chestnut
smooth and round. The color varies
from a yellowish green to brown. The
inner part Is Of dark color and has an
oily kernel. The tree bears fruit in its
sixth year and yields from fifty-five to
220 POUNDS of fruit, which can easily be
harvested in the fall. BY using water
of alcohol the seponaceous ingredient of
the fruit is extracted. The cost of pro-
duction is said to be small and the soap
on account of possessing no alkaline
qualities, is superior to the ordinary
soap Of commerce.

NATIONS REVENUES DROP.
This Year Larger Than
Last by $17,o00,000.

Washington, May 1.-The adjourn
ment of Congress. bringing a complet-
ed summary Of appropriations for the
coming fiscal year, taken in connection
with the results of the ten months of
the present fiscal year, which are
closed, awakens interest in the treas
ury outlook. Department officials say
that the question. whether more reVc-
nue. will be needed by the time the next
Congress under the new ir- 1ist~a-
ton goes to work. Will r-p-nd wholly
on prevailing business conditions. The
appropriations just completed are not
enough in excess of those of the cur
rent year to make any disturbance in
case revenues keep pace with the
growth of the population and industry
in generally prosperous conditions.
Any succeeding Congress or admins
tration which finds hard times, on its
hands will also be conf onted with the
DUTY of raising additional revenue.
April returns show q deficit of five
million dollars. Expenses have been
extra heavy. including a million each
for the postal department and the st.
Louis loan: while customs receipts

have taken a decided. drop. For the
ten months just closed. this source Ct
revenue amounts to $220,000,000 against
$241 100000 for corresponding period
of last year. The falling oft in i'm
ports has been in the dUtiabe class,
imports OH the free list have shown y
disposition to increase. Internal reve-
nue. receipts are larger this year than
last, although showing Il slight falling
off this month by comparison with
the last April. No significance attach
cs, however. to this incident.
Expenditures for the present fiscal
year are in excess of those of last year
by $17,000,000, which is the exact
amount in round numbers of excess of
the single item of naval expenditures.
Other items would come ont practically
even the losses offsetting the gains.

The new range which is being built
in the basement Of the Armory for the
use of Company II. will soon be in
readiness for use, and then Waterville's
crack military company will have an
opportunity to practice the use of the
rifle They already have a fine outdoor
range, but it is hard for many Of the
men to avail themselves of its advdnt-
ages, and the range in the Armory will
be handy for all to use. There is d
chance for IS foot range and the tar
gets patented by Lieut.. John J. Dooley
of the First regiment will be used. A
system OF marking similar to that used
in outdoor rifle shooting VIII be used,
and the men classed according to the
scores they make. When the weather
is such that the men can get out on
the range the real work will begin.
and the members of the company hope
to make as good a showing in target
practice as they have made in drilling.
