CURSE OF HAsHEEsB IN EGYPT
Threatens to Become as Great o
Vice as Opium Among Chinese.

Threatens to Become as Great q
Vice as Opium Among Chinese.
The Egyptian government has
failed In an effort to prevent the i'm
portation of hasheesh from Greece.
The government had also failed to
induce Greece to prohibit the grow
ing Of the pernicious drug on Greek
soil. Greece objects because has
heesh produces very large revenue
and It's cultivation employs thou
sands OF people.
The smoking of hasheesh, or In
dian hemp, has become as great a
habit among the fellaheen OF Egypt
as opium among Cinnamon. and the
efforts OF the government to. eradi-
cate the vice have failed. Greece,
however. intimates It may consent to
lay heavy export tax upon the
drug, in the effort to reduce its con-
umption. but that will not avail In
reducing the prevalence OF the vice,
It merely will cause the slaves OF the
drug in Egypt to spend more to OBJ
tain 1t.
The Government OF Egypt does
not approve OF the heavy export
duty, because 1t will offer addi-
tional temptations to the smugglers
OF hasheesh. Smuggling of hash
eesh into Egypt is now a large and
profitable industry.
Not many years ago a high off,
cial of one OF the consulates in Cairo
was detected in conspiracy to
smuggle hasheesh. The customs au-
thorities discovered that this OFF,
cial was receiving thousands of
pounds annually, which he disposed
Of to the dealers in the bazaars at u
great profit. The consular official re-
ceiyed the drug under his consular
seal.
Hasheesh is the curse of the Egyp-
tian peasant, hundreds of thousands
having learned to smoke the drug
during the past five years.--New
York Mail.

TELEPHONES IN THE WOODS.
Maine Looeers string Wires Through
The vlruIn Forest.


A traveller in the forests of moth
ern Maine would be surprised to
come acrcss telephone wires strung
from trunk to trunk, just out Of their
reach.
The manner In which the telephone
is used 10 help the men who drive
the logs along the west branch of the
Penobscot is perhaps the greatest fea-
ture of the system. The dams have
been built not only to hold water
against a time OF drought but also
TO let 1t down at judicious times.
AT many places along the West
Branch, where the water tumbles ov-
er ledges and between boulders. says
the Bangor Commercial 1t is the
work OF river driver to get the
logs over those rough places without
jamming.
The eye of every man in the crew Is
on glut OF logs coming down stream
and they watch II as 1t nears q boul-
der In midstream and II the logs scat
ter and pass down the river well and
good. II they do not, but stop and
pile up into a big jam, the river driv-
er has his work cut out for him.
Then II is that the man at tele.
phone gets busy. Three long whirls
of the crank of his little box calls
the dam, and he tells the man who
answers to close the gate and stop
the logs from coming down until the
jam is broken out. These orders giv'
en-. he sets to work to break up the
jam.
Usually !. stick Of dynamite placej
with accuracy will start the logs and
clear the channel, and IL one stick
is not enough there is always plenty
more. The channel clear, the man
telephones the order to the crew al
the dam to let them come.
Before the telephone came into use
lhese messages were conveyed up the
river by relays of men. The men were
stationed at frequent intervals along
the bank and the message was shout
ed from man to man.
The telephone lines are being ex-
tended every year and 1t will not be
long before telephones are almost as
common in the woods as they are in
The city. Considering the country
through which the men doing the
work have to traverse the lines are
put up in remarkably quick time
for a small crew of men will put
up many miles of wire in a week.
Recently the telephone has beer
called into use to aid the Are ward
ems IN discovering and extinguishine
fires in the northern forests. A sta
ton has been established on the sum
mit of Squaw Mountain. about sis
miles west of Greenville. 1861
A man stationed at this point car
see the country for miles around
and with the aid OF powerful field
glasses and range finders can discov'
er and locate fire anywhere within
u radius OF sixty miles.

United states Pearl Fishing.

Pearl fishing In the United States
has been carried on In many States,
including Kentucky, Tennessee.
Texas, Wisconsin, Illinois, Arkan-
sas, Missouri, Georgia and Kansas.
One pearl from a freshwater mussel
was sold for $500. while a round,
pink pearl from Tennessee brought
$3.50. One OF the finest pearls ever
collected in the United States was

Unclaimed wealth in England.


How many millions of pounds
worth OF property lies unclaimed to-
day In the form Of shares, dividends,
deposits of money, plate and jewels
In the hands of bankers, companies,
solicitors, auctioneers, and others?
This is the fascinating question
raised by the writer's OF letter, who
urge the Chancellor of the Exchequer
TO lay hands upon the spoil and de-
vote IL to the increase of national
revenue.
Unclaimed wealth in the hands or
the Crown and funds in Chancery
amount TO more than ESQ 00O, 900.
Is 1t possible that the funds in pri-
vate hands amount to an equally
large sum?
Some of the examples OF hidden
wealth given by the writers OF the
letters suggest that the amount
must at any rate he large one. 1t
is not, apparently, the custom OF
companies to search very far for the
owners of unclaimed dividends. Oc-
casionally the chairman of a COM
pany refers to unclaimed amounts.
In the case Of building society the
chairman announced at the annual
meeting that certain unclaimed mon
ey had been utilized to form reserve
fund.
'In fifty-flve years." explained the
secretary of the society yesterday,
I'VE have accumulated $4,000 of un-
claimed deposits. At any time we
are liable to be asked to refund this,
and should do SO with interest. -

Effect Of SURROUNDINGS.

There is a general tenaency to look
TO the surroundings OF the individual
for an explanation of the phenomena
affecting him. Writers are too often
prejudiced In this way and fail TO
observe their own tendency to ignore
facts which do not 1T In with their
theories. They can always find good
reasons for eliminating these facts.
The principal OF regarding geo
graphical surroundings as having o
great influence on the development
OF individual specimens is evidently
attractive, and has. therefore. been
followed. A Southern savant, Durand
de Gros, has bequeathed us series
OF observations made In 1868 In regard
to the inhabitants OF the Aveyron

ferent geological characteristics. 1'ht

systems, while the inhabitants OF
the granite region have smaller bones
and are OF inferior stature.
The writer in question did not con-
fine his observations to human beings
but extended them to bulls In the
two districts.

SECRET OF BREATHING WELLS.
Due TO Changes In Atmospheric Pres
sure or In Temperature.


The United States Geographical
Survey has on hand the investigation
OF curious phenomena known as
blowing" or breathing" wells. In
the course of collecting well records.
the hydrologists of the survey have
observed many wells that emit cur
rents OF air with more or less force,
sometimes accompanied by a whist
ling sound which can be heard for a
long distance.
The best known examples of this
type OF well are found throughout
the State OF Nebraska. Blowing wells
are also known TO occur in Rapides
Parish, in Southern Louisiana. The
force OF the air currents In one Of
the Southern Louisiana wells is suffi-
Client to keep mans hat suspended
above It.
The cause OF such phenomena is
mainly due to changes in atmospheric
pressure or to changes in tempera-
ture. During the progress OF a low
barometer storm over these regions.
the air is expelled from the blowing
wells. With rising barometer the
blowing becomes rapidly less until
the current Ia finally reversed.
Differences In the temperature of
the surface air and the air in the soil
also produce similar effects. When
the interstices between the grains of
sand. gray.s. etc, In which the well
IL driven are filled with water. the
phenomena OF blowing is much lsss
noticeable. st. Louis Republic.
