is specialist of renown with high

insists that all that is needed by an ex-

pass an hour or SO every day in abso-

the nerves. but will cause the lines

RURAL NORWAY is HONEST
Incidents Which Are Illustrative of
One of It's Marked Char
acteristics.

Norwegian peasants are said to be
the most honest people In the world.
Several years ago an English tourist,
in going from Trondjhem to Chris
tiania, lost Is or 20 sovereigns on the
road. Upon his arrival at Christiania
he wrote of his loss to the county
judges and in few days received
every cent of the lost sovereigns. The
peasants had picked up the coins
dropped along the road and had hand
ed them over to the magistrates.
Frugality and thrift are national
characteristics of the Norwegians.
The social conditions are peculiar to
the country. There is no privileged
nobility or aristocracy of wealth. Con-
sequently there is no sharply drawn
line of distinction between the classes.
The death rate in Norway is the
smallest of any nation in the world.
The homes of the well-to-do peas
ants are made up ora half dozen, and
sometimes more. separate buildings.
Practically all the necessities Of life
are manufactured at home. There
are vast storerooms full of linens and
laces, etc, elegantly curtained beds
and priceless Oh furniture, but the
floors are always bare.

GIVES BARRY HONOR
REAL FATHER OF THE NAVY,
SAYS DnIsCoLL.
Though Facts Seem to Bear Out This
Assertion, John Paul Jones Will
Always Be American
Naval Hero.

If anyone had to answer the ques-
ton right off the bat" who was
father OF the American navy" no
doubt the reply would be John Paul
Jones No other man who ever COM
manded a ship in the navy has been
accorded such honors as has been paid
to this daring Scotchman who cast
his lot with the American colonies and
fought the English with so much gal
lantry. These honors are such as
should be paid to the greatest Ameri'
can sailor, and no doubt many OF our
people believe that John Paul Jones
is the greatest of our sailors. Repre-
sentative Driscoll, of New York, rises
to dispute this assumption. lie says
that the honor of being the father OF
the American navy is due Commodore
Barry After many years the United
States has determined to honor this Of
flcer and has provided that a monu-
ment shall be erected to him. Dris-
coll in congressional address has GU
logized Barry and placed him on
pinnacle above that OF Jones. Dris-
coll has this TO say to prove that
Barry is entitled to the first place in
our naval annals.
AT the breaking out of the war OF
the revolution he was master of the
Black Prince, the fncri """ant ship
In America She was chased by
the first congress, armored for war,
and made the first battleship OF the
first fleet, under the first commodore.
and named the Alfred, after the father
of the English navy. He won the first
naval victory of the war In the con-
tinental SCI vice, and returned the first
prize captured from the enemy In COM
mand of the Lexington, which was
named after the first battle of the rev
olution, and was the first ship that
bore the continental flag to victory on
the ocean. During the last three years
of the revolution he was the first Off
Ger of the navy He fought the last
battle of the war in command OF the
Alliance, the last and best ship of the
continental navy. He was appointed
In 1894, and continued first in com
mand until he died, in 1903"
He points out that John Paul Jones
after his victory over the Scraps
never returned to this country, bat re-
manned in Europe and received high
honors from France and Russia, while
Barry remained in the service from
the beginning to the end. or course,
the record of Barry is splendid and
he is entitled to all the honors that
can be paid him, but there is some
thing In tho record of John Paul Jones
that appeals to every person with
blood In his veins. He was a man that
did thing" and no matter what 9th
ers may have done the brilliancy of
his exploits we're such as to excite the
admiration of the American people
for all time.

LESSON OF EARTHQUAKE.
Test of Structural Materials Fur
nished by San Francisco
Disaster.

II argument we're needed to show
the advisability OF an investigation Of
structural materials It is more than
supplied by the recent earthquake in
California.
What buildings best stood the shock
is a question Of very great practical
interest. Why they endured when
others fell is food for thought to
builders all over the country.
In this connection II Is interesting
to note that the Appraisers building
in San Francisco, where the United
States geological survey maintains a
local office, is one of the few business
structures in that city which was un-
injured either by shock or by flame.
Mr.. Charles G.. Yale, special agent of
the survey, reports that a little plaster
has fallen but that the building is
probably the only one in the city that
shows not a single crack in its brick
walls. This may he due to the fact
that the foundation consists of a six
foot bed of solid cement placed upon
thousands of piles, and that the bricks
are put together with cement instead
of mortar. The walls are thicker be-
low the sidewalks than above them
When the building moves, it moves as
a rhonollth, and while the vibration is
considerable, no damage has been done
except to the plaster
That the geological survey might
with profit to the country undertake
the investigation of structural mate
rials is attested by the numerous re-
quests which 1t receives for informa-
ton on the subject. Twice during the
past year the survey was visited by a
body OF engineers who represented
J q industrial developments in a
number of different states The sur
vey was unable to supply the informa-
ton which they desired concerning
the strength and endurance of materi-
ais ~ be used in variety Of building
and construction work. This one fact
shows how desirable 1t is that the in
vestigations now under way by the sur
vey % enlarged.
These Investigations have thus far
had 20 do mainly with the testing Of
cements and concretes. II is felt that
the work should be continued and am
piled.
