A THOROUGH GEO.
GRAPHICAL SURVEY.

The Agricultural College Geo
logical Survey will be represented
this season by several field par
ties. and work will be conducted
in several sections Of the state.
-Four different lines OF investiga-
ton will be pursued. A topo-
graphical map will be made OF
the Bismarck quadrangle; a soil
survey will beconducted in Griges
and Foster Counties: preliminary
mapping of the hills commonly
called the Coteaus OF the Mis-
souri,, really the great outer and
most western moraine will be
|continued in Burleigh and Kid
der counties; and the United
States Geological Survey Folio
work, including the investigation
Of the underground waters, will
be carried on with jamestown as
the basis of field operations.
Several men from the College
will 90 out under the direction of
Professor Willard, who is direc-
tor OF the survey. Mr.. S. V. An
derson has already gone to Join
the topographic survey party at
Bismarck, Mr.. John 7. Weaver
will join the soil survey party at
Cooperstown as soon as his du-
ties are completed at the college
SO that he can leave. The party
sent from Washington to have
charge of the soil survey is al
ready on the ground and work
has been commenced.
Mr.. NJ. B. Erickson will be in
charge OF the mapping Of the
lCoteaus to be done in Burleigh.
Kidder and Mclean counties.
Just what men will accompany
him as assistants has not yet
been fully determined. This work
is paid for entirely by statefunds.
and the appropriation for the
work is so very meager that but
a small part Of the work that
needs to be undertaken can be
done.
The folio work for the United
States Geological Survey is car
ried on under the personal super
vision Of Professor Willard. On

WHAT ARE YOUR
SUMNER PLANS?
Profusely illustrated Booklet Of Fa-
NOUS Resorts for the
Asking.

"Summer Resorts" is the title Of one Of
the most attractive and handsome book
let's ever issued by a Southern railroad.
It is just off of the press, and copies will
be mailed free to all who apply to ". Z.

4 St. +. Ry, Nashville, Tenn;
The booklet is profusely illustrated with
half-tones Of famous scenes, historical and
otherwise, and pictures taken around the
numerous summer resorts along the line
of the road.
It is well known that the Nashville,
Chattanooga 4 st. Louis Railway, the
lookout Mountain Route is rich in its
historical associations. More important
battles of the Civil War occurred along
in the South.
It occupies position OF just as much
prominence in the Summer Resort" field,
as it traverses country that occupies tho
same standing in this particular IN the
South that the highlands along the Hud-
son River and the Adirondacks do IN the
East.
The booklet gives a description Of these
summer resorts and for what they are
especially noted. Detailed information IS
given concerning hotels.
The Assembly programme at Monteagle,
the most famous of all Southern summer
resorts, is given in full. Information IS
also given concerning the summer school
at that place and the Monteagle Bible
training school. As kind Of supplement,
the booklet contains information concern
ing schools along the line Of the road.
Information as to railroad rates is also
given.
Those who intend to spend the summer
away from home or to make trip will
find themselves well repaid by writing TOR
one Of the booklets.

ANTIQUITY or INSURANCE.
The Marine Branch Came First and
Dates Back to the Caesa-
rian Period.

Marine insurance dates back to thu
time Of the Caesars, Claudius Caesar
having been the first to insure vessels.
States the New York Herald.
During famine he issued a proc
lamation that all vessels engaged in the
carriage of foodstuffs meeting with an
accident would be replaced by the state,
and by SO doing largely increased the
feet of merchant vessels.
The Jews had some system OF 1nsur-
ance from early times, as did the Greeks,
while the Romans must have intro
duced the idea into Britain, since IN
1901 an English statute says: II hala
been tyne and out of mynd, an usage
amongst mechanics, both OF this realm
and furrain nacyones, when they MAKE
any good adventure to give some con-
sideration of money to other persons 10
have assurance made Of all their
goodies"
Fire insurance was the outcome OF the
marine insurance, and life insurance did
not follow until some time after. No"
it is possible to have almost any soi.
Of insurance, the latest being the lorna
ton of company to guarantee that the
cost of construction on building snaI1
not exceed the estimates made oy the

KINDNESS OF AN OSTRICH.
Intelligent Act Of Member Of Bird
Tribe Reputed to Be Devoid
Of Sense.

Rev, R. G. Pearse, of st. Cyprian's
y1carage, Durham, sends to the Specta-
tor an account of bird kindness when
he and some friends witnessed lately
in Durham, relates the Durham lndla)
Spectator.
During an exceptionally heavy trop-
zeal rain, two ducks Of the common
half-bred native and Bombay variety,
got washed in the flood down the um-
gent river, which flows through the
town gardens. The ducks both got en-
tangled in the barbed wire and wire net
ting which crosses from bank to bank.
One managed, by much Tapping OF
wings, to extricate itself; the other
seemed, however, to be on the point OF
drowning, when large ostrich stalked
out of the bush and waded into the river,
lifted it bodily out Of the water and car
ried it ashore by one wing.
The duck was not badly hurt, but It's
rescuer was severely torn on its thigh
muscles by the barbed wire. The incl
dent is all the more remarkable, as the
ostrich, with rare exceptions, buries its
head in the sand during storm, and
will starve to death sooner than move

WASHING AWAY THEIR SINS
Natives Of India Seek the Waters Of
the Ganges River That They
May Become Pure.

The Nephal CHAT is a mass OF preach
ers' umbrellas, with bathers swarming
thick as flies, says FL. 0. Alsop in Out
ing. Men stand upright on the abutting
ramparts and fall full length in worship
Of the sun; three times they so PROSTATE
themselves, and then they battle in the
sacred waters and are washed of sin.
At one end old women and young, try
ing hard to keep from shivering, ad-
vance slowly into the waters, and then
with one bold effort duck suddenly and,
orce wet, bob down twice more. They
lift the sacred water in their palms and,
throwing it into the air, pray vehement
~. Then they leave the water and re-
move their clinging, dripping clothing
from beneath clean, dry wrap. Chat
ting to one another and with happy
faces, they mount the broad fight once
more and disappear up al narrow alley
way to pray at the shrines above. Some
of them are old women with white, close
cropped heads, come, perhaps, from the
far southern end Of the peninsula to en-
ter the Holy City and battle in chill
Mother Ganges. For then they may dis
in peace.

DEcElvING THE NATIVES.
Pious Fraud Imposed Upon Brah-
minis in Order to Win Them
to Vaccination.

Only a few weeks ago it wan an.
nounced to the world that vaccination
was not a new thing, but that, on the
contrary, it had been known ages ago
to the natives of India. It was Lord
Amohill who made the claim for the
antiquity Of cowpox incubation. His
lordship quoted as his authority pas
sage from a book by Dhawantaria, the
greatest of the ancient physicians, in
which vaccination was clearly de-
scribed. Now, however, it is said that
this passage was merely an interpola-
ton. The British Medical Journal tells
the following story Of it:
According to Sir John Malcolm, a
we'll known Scotch surgeon on the in
PRODUCTION of vaccine incubation into
India the practice met with great OPP
position from the natives. In order to
overcome their prejudices Mr.. Ellis, OF
Madras, who was well versed in sanskrit
literature, composed short poem on
vaccination in that language.
This poem was inscribed on old paper
and was said to have been just discov-
cred. The object OF. the pious fraud was
that the impression Of vaccinations an.
tiuuity might help to reconcile the
minds of Brahmins to the use of 8
prophylactic drawn from thei.. sacred
cow.

RAILWAY RATE LEGISLATION
Biennial Convention Of Conductors
Ask Congress Not to Pass Ad-
verse Railroad Laws.

At the biennial convention Of the
Order Of Railway Conductors recently
held at Portland, Oregon, resolutions
were unanimously adopted voicing
their sentiments as to the effect Of pro-
posed railway rate legislation on the
100000 railroad employees, whom they
In part represented. These resolutions
endorse the attitude of President
Roosevelt in condemning secret re-
bates and other il1egalities, and com.
mend the attitude of the heads OF
American Railways, who, with prac-
teal unanimity, have Joined with
the President on this question. ;"
They then respectfully point out to
Congress the 'inadvisability OF legisla'
ton vesting In the hands Of COM
mission power over railway rates, now
lower by far IN the United States than
in any other country" because such
regulation would result in litigation
and confusion and inevitably tend to
an enforced reduction in rates, ire
spective of the question OF the ability
Of the railroads to stand the reduction,
especially In view Of the increased cost
Of their supplies and materials" They
further protested against such power
being given to the present Interstate
Commission because "the proposed leg
islation is not in harmony with our
idea OF American Jurisprudence, mas
much as it contemplates that single
body shall have the right to investi-
gate, indict. try, condemn and then
enforce it's decisions at the cost OF the
carriers, pending appeal, which is
manifestly negotiable"
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation It any, as
would secure and insure justice and
equity and preserve equal rights to all
parties concerned" on the ground that
the low cost Of transportation lis the
result OF the efficiency OF American
railway management and operation
which have built up the country
through constant improvement and de-
velopment OF territory, while at the
same time recognition has been given
to the value of intelligence among en-
ployes in contrast to foreign methods
where high freight rates and lowest
wages to employees obtain"
In pressing their claim against legis-
lation adverse to their interests, they
point out the fact that "the freight
rates Of this country average only two
| per cent. of the cost Of articles to the
| consumer, thus making the freight
rate so insignificant a factor In the
selling price that numerous standard
articles are sold at the same price u
all parts of the country.
