Heavy Traffic on the Pacific.

Nevada Post.
The travel on the Missouri Pacific
has never been so heavy as at pres.
ent.
Every train is crowded to it's ut
most capacity and often passengers
have to stand.
1t seems that the allegations con.
corning the bad track made by the
"Trackmen" are taken as a joke by
the public. The "Trackmen's close
connection with personal interests
maybe may have something to do
with the lack of weight Its articles
have with the public.
The Pacific has certainly proved
BY It's quick work in repairing the
bad places found by the Missouri
Railroad commission its desire to
safeguard the public.
As matter OF fact the tracks are
In as good condition now, even bet
ter than they we're a year or two ago.
What wrecks the L & s. have had
are due more than anything else to
the oorequipment given this branch.
Better rolling stock Is what we are
after. Self interest demands that
the road keep It's track In good con-
dition.

sugar and Spring Flowers.

Why do The flowers bloom in the
spring? We all know the place of the
flowers in the economy of the plant.
but what Is the precise cause of its
periodical appearance? 1t is, Of
course die to some form of irritation,
and a recent REORGANIZATION of the
question has been made by a pl.:nt
psychologist, Oscar Loew, who lives
III Japan. His researches have been
made particularly with the Japanese
cherry blossom. Despite the abuEj-
ance of their blossoms the Japanese
cherry trees do not produce a perfect
fruit, for the climatic conditions cause
the cherries while still in an unripe
state to drop from the trees. Herr
Leow found that the nutritiye matter
which the tree provides to bring its
fuait to ripeness ceased to be opera
tive after tho unripe cherries had
fallen OF, and was stored in the for.a
of starch in the bark. This starch in
the following spring was transformed
into sugar and appeared in an unusu-
ally large measure in the sap of tho
tree. To this fact is due Loew's i'm
preston that the sugar is the cause
of the irritant influence that leads to
the formation of the blossoms.

Eayptian cure For sunetroke.

Travellers in Egypt must often have
noticed curious scars upon the fore
heads of the natives, though perhaps
they have not discovered its signifi-
canoe. 1t is sign that the man who
bears II has had. or has fancied that
ue had. sunstroke.
The formula for the malady is curl
Gus and typical Eastern. The victim
must be laid full length upon the
ground and massaged from the feet
upward The sunstroke is some form
of evil genius which must be squeezed
and forced into one spot. This the
massage accomplishes. When the
masseur has done his best to this end.
and assumes that the virus of the
enemy is all concentrated in the fore
head of the patient, then the teeth of
the operator are applied TO the in
fectel area, and a piece of the flesh
of the forehead bitten out
The strange thing is that the treat
ment is said to be invariably effica-
cious. 1t may be faith cure, or It
may be that the sunstroke itself was
imaginary-the cure is sure.

Great nenths In Lake.

The 'Bayarian Courier" publishes
ar interesting comparative statement
Of the depth of lakes. Among Ere
peen lakes the Achensee, iii the TyroI
heads the list AT some points tho
depth of this lake amounts TO two
Thousand five hundred feet The
greatest depth of the lake of Con
stance is about nine hundred and sew
enty-tve feet, that Of the Chiemsee
about four hundred and fifty-eight
feet and that of the Walchen and Ko-
sigsee six hundred and eleven feet.
The measurements made at the Dead
Sea. showed that at its deepest part
its depth is one thousand eight hun
dred and thirty-six feet. but If we con
siLer that the level of this lake is
already one thousand three hundred
and ninety-four feet below the level
OF The Mediterranean, then we find
that the total depression in the soil
here amounts really to three thousand
two hundred and thirty feet. The
lake of Tiberias is extremely shallow
In comparison; on its eastern part the
average depth is only twenty-six feet.
while on the western side It lies be
tween nineteen and twenty-five feet.
In Lake Balkal, in the province of
lrkutsk, Siberia, depths have been
found which for lake are utterly as
tonishing. In the upper part of the
lake the depth is ten thousand eight
hundred feet about the height of Mt.
Etna), but down the lake the bottom
constantly ascends. and near the op-
posite bank. the depth amounts to
three thousand two hundred and thlr-
~ feet. The depth far exceeds that
of the Mediterranean Sea, which at
its greatest part measures only seven
thousand eight hundred feet.

One OF Norways chief industries is
represented by the fisheries. and guam
titles of fish are sold at very low
rates, particularly during summer.
One way in which these are utilized is
by means of an invention which quick
" dries and pulverizes the flesh OF
fresh fish. The resulting product.
called fish flour, is easy to transport
from one place to another and has
great nutritive value. A new and
