TRYING TO STOP THE LEAKS
Congressional Measure Makes 1t
Criminal to Give Out Amy
Crop Information.

At the close of a day of excitement
in the lower house of congress an
amendment was added to the penal
code bill making it criminal Of
tense for any officer or employe of
the government to give out advance
information regarding any crop sta
tistics authorized by law to be pre-
pared.
The original amendment was by
Mr.. Burleson of Texas, who made a
strong plea for it's passage, but a
substitute by Mr.. Sherley of Ken
lucky, with a brief addition by Mr..
Olmstead of Pennsylvania, was ac-
cepted The necessity for it's adop-
ton was conceded by nearly every
member who addressed the house,
and it's safe running OF the gauntlet
was greeted with applause.

weeds. The balm of perennial spring
is in the air. Turning our eyes up
ward we look on the glaciers and
eternal snow Of the mighty Andes,
whose peaks pierce the clouds at an
elevation of $4,000 feet and over.
The range of our vision is over two
miles in vertical height. We have
wandered over the Rockies and ira
versed the deserts of Arizona and
climbed the volcanoes of Central
America, but a grander and more in
spring picture has never been UNI
rolled before us than the one We look
on every day from our tent door.
The two extremes meet here.
With all this beauty it is the storm
center of the world. Billiards, APP
palling lightning and thunder, snow,
rain and hail, sunshine and April
showers make this their playground.
Often all are fighting with titanic
energy for supremacy. 1t is battle
of the giants and when the battaliOns
of thunder and lightning swing into
action it seems as if the granite walls
of the Andes would be shattered and
roll down into the Pacific. The play
of lightning is sometimes so violent
that the flesh prickles as when hold
ing the handles of a battery. In five
minutes the sun is shining as fierce
~ as on the sands of the desert; yet, |
though the tail end of the storm is |
more than a mile down the canyon, |
above the level of our eye the walls |
and jutting rocks are shrOuded I'M |
der a veil of snow. AS the storm |
sweeps on down the canyon we turn
our eyes to the west and there stands |
the tombstone of departed races COW
cred with glaciers and snow, cold |
and silent, rejecting the rays of an !
afternoon sun in rainbow tints.
The reason that this is the storm |
center of the world is not hard to
find. The prevailing winds are from
the east. The clouds are filled with |
moisture to the point of saturation
as they drift up the valley of the |
Amazon from the Atlantic Climbing
higher and higher, getting colder and
colder, they finally come in contact
with the icy wall of, the Andes that
S from three to four miles high.
There is nothing to do but to dis
charge their cargo and go back after
another load. This continues inces-
sanity from November until April;
hen as the sun swings to the north
he air is chilled and the clouds
)reak before they reach this eleva-
ion.

CANDY FOR THE ARMY.
Evans Fleet Carried With 1t Fifteen
Thousand Pounds of Sweet Sticks.

The Pacific feet under Admiral
Evans carried with it from this coun-
try $1,000 pounds of candy, Every
year the men both in the army and
navy eat many tons Of sweets. And
the eating of it probably saves them
frim the evils of the consumption Of
thousands of gallons more of alco-
hOl.
For in the tropics candy is both Z
medicine and a food. 1t is a medi-
cine in that it creates a dista5te for
alcohol or, to be more accurate, it
diminishes or eTadicates the thirst.
Those who are in position to be
considered authorities assert that the
use of candy creates a dislike for
that stimulant. Scientists have
noted, too, that men with a strong
taste for sweets are seldom addicted
to alcoholism. In parenthesis it
might be said that because man
doesn't like candies it does not nee
essarily follow that he is fond of The
flowing bowl.

BARTLETTs ELOQUENT ARMS.
Aroused Mr.. Pete Hepburn of IOway
to Defense of Republican Party.

Our Washington dispatches, re-
porting the congressional proceed
ings, say that Mr. Bartlett Of Georgia
waved his arms in great eloquence
until finally Col. Pete Hepburn of
Toway' could stand it no longer"
We can very readily understand how
Judge Bartlett waved his arms in
great eloquence If we are correctly
informed he has about the most elo-
quent arms in the state, and when
he begins waving them for keeps
they knock out quatrains and triolets
and stanZas and sonnets with unerr-
ing and marvellous facility. But it
is hard to understand why Col. Pete
Hepburn of Ioway could stand it no
longer when Judge Bartlett had got
his eloquent arms into action. Why,
Judge Bartlett's arms, like Katishas
shoulder blade, are worth going
miles to see; nor do they wave elo-
quently except when there is some
thing worth waving for When
Judge Bartlett's eloquent arms get
a-going it is time to sit still and hold
your breath. We strongly suspect
that Col. Pete Hepburn of Ioway
could stand those eloquent arms no
longer because he was envious or
wanted to make a partisan play to
the galleries. Judge Bartlett's arms
are democratic. They are untram-
meled by trust or other cuffs. They
never crook their supple hinges that
favor may follow fawning. They
may saw the air sometimes, but when
they do all persons within sight sit
spellbound by the eloquent motion.
1t has been said that one Whirl
of Judge Bartlett's arms were worth
ten thousand men in battle. The
eloquence Of IngersOll never APP
preached the eloQuence of the Bart
lett arms in action. That is why Col.
Pete Hepburn Of Ioway couldn't
stand it any longer and bounced up
on his feet and launched a blistering
denunciation against the democratic
party Arms and the man were too
much for Col Pete, and the elO-
quence of the former forced Col Pete
to do a hot foot to the rescue of
his party. Savannah News,

THE WORLDS CENTER
CAMP LIFE ON THE MIGHTY
SIDES OF BROWNING ANDES.
Working on the Edge Of Canyon
Four Thousand Feet Deep. The
Franks of the Elements.

Working on the Edge OF canyon
Four Thousand Feet Deep. The
Franks of the Elements.
Our camp, writes one of a party
OF surveyors at present working on
the headwaters of the Amazon in the
Andes mountains, is on the very edge
of a canyon 1000 feet deep. Stand
ing in our tent door we can, through
the telescope of our transit, watch
the barefooted and bare-leg9ed chill
dren playing in the Indian pueblo
three miles down the canyon, eight
and one-half miles as the bird flies
we can see distinctly the people in
the plaza of another pueblo and can
distinguish the men from the women
and the dogs from the cats. But to
better illustrate the perfect clearness
of the air we have negatives that
show plainly iron telegraph poles
three inches in diameter which are
over two and one-half miles distant,
while the focus of the camera was
on an object less than hundred
yards away. Another negative shows
the lettering on an ordinary store
sign over a mile away. 1t must be
remembered that our camp is at an
elevation of 1850 feet, several hum
dred feet above Pixies Peak. 1t is
at this elevation that we eat, sleep
and work month in and month out,
and often our work calls us to ele'
vations ranging up to $1,000 feet
Not one in a thousand can work
at this elevation. The limited sup
ply of oxygen compels the heart and
lungs to work more than twice as
fast At $4,000 feet it is an effort
to drink a glass of water without
stopping two or three times to
breathe; and to climb the almost ver-
teal walls OF the mountains, 1000
to 1000 feet, as we are doing every
day and sometimes several times a
day. requires lungs far above the or
binary capacity and strength 1t is
so high that an ordinary kerosene
lamp burns with much less illumi- |
nation than at sea elVel. And, what |
seems strangest, a tallOW candle Will |
often go out for want OF oxygen to
keep up combustion and melt the
grease around the wick On the top |
of the highest mountains in sight of
our camp water boils at $50 degrees
Fahrenheit This is our only way of |
with accuracy the eleva- |
ton of the highest peaks, as no
aneroid is reliable above 5000 or
1900 feet
As we stand on the edge of the
walls in front of our camp |
our eyes take in a scene of surpass-
ing and rare beauty. Looking down |
the canyon 1000 feet below us all |
the flowers of a dollhouse are grow |
ing wild Geraniums with stocks as |
large as ones arm cover the mud (
walls, pinks ransies, roses and lilies
