Those hard-to-please people who complain at the great length of our summer days should be thankful that they are not living on the planet Ju- piter, if The Richmond Times Dispatch has its astronomical knowledge on straight. It tells us that day on Ju- piter Is about as long as 1s7 of our years, but maybe that paper added a few extra cyphers to its calculation when 1t says it would take 5o,000 of our days to equal one of Jupiter's.

A MAN OF STRAW
Tn It's last issue The Limestone Dem ocrat contained the following:


 Ocrat contained the following:
 State Senator John A. Lusk of Mar shal County, was offered the Railroad d Commissi ionership without being an applicant for 1t. He investigated the question of the expenses of the office before he accepted the position and stated this fact to an Athens gentle gomery Advertiser and other papers that he said that he would not have ac- cepted the office If he had known what his expense account amounted to. This statement was commented on by many anti Conner papers of the State to Mir. Lusk's dlscredit. Mir Luak has den ed the statement which appeared in The Montgomery Advertiser and other pa. pers and 1t is now interesting to note just how many of the "antis" will cor rect their statements after being in- formed of the incorrectness of the re- mark attributed to Mir. Lusk.
 The Advertiser said nothing of the sort
 The Advertiser published an article of the article Mir. Lusk's name was dealing with the unexpected discovery of paragraph in the new Code. direct ing members of the Railroad CommIs- sion to visit each of the sixty seven county seats--a paragraph which did not contain any provision for the pay ment of the necessary expenses of the Commission, while on this duty. The article did not say that MT. Lusk on discovering 1t said that he would not have accepted the place if he had known that he had to pay his own ex-

A Western preacher thinks he has discovered a remedy for the divorce evil, His plan is to have every mar ried woman tatooed on the chin. so that there could be no mistaking her domestic position. He doesn't go far enough. If the wives are to be thus marked let all the husbands be forced to wear bells. That would also lessen the business of the divorce courts.

from shore, and on one occasion the
mailbag was thrown overheard when
the boat was still a quarter of mile
distant, the transport going on her
way without further interest in the
matter. The bag was never found and
great was the gloom about the Mid
way dinner table that evening.
The Marine Camp.
The marine camp at Midway was es-
tablished soon after the concrete
buildings were erected. mainly as a
protection for the expensive plant put
in by the G. P. c. Co. Two rapid
fire guns were mounted and stock of
ammunition laid in, which, later on,
through some unknown cause. exploded
and caused a lively five minutes on
the usually too quiet island. Projec-
tiles of various sizes were flying
through the air. and report has it that
one of Uncle Sam 5 brave defenders,
who happened to be taking a constitu-
tional within tne zone of fire, prompt
~ buried his head and shoulders in a
sandbank till all danger was past.
He had evidently heard about the
ostrich.
With this exception, the stay of the
Marine Corps was not signalized by
anything noteworthy till the eve of
their departure on the Tronuois last
March. They celebrated their release
by making bonfire of their barrack
room, = large wooden building which
stood about three hundred yards from
the cable company's reservation.
Landscape Gardening.
The monotonous appearance of the
white sand is being gradually modi-
fed. under the steady efforts of Mr..
Colley, the superintendent, ably as
sisted by his chief of the outdoor staff,
Walter Yarney, who is also the chicken
expert Of the community. Manienie
grass is being forced and coaxed to
grow by all manner of means, and to
this end the company schooner takes
fifty tons of soil from Honolulu every
voyage. which is mixed with the sand
and then planted to grass roots. The
result IS already becoming noticeable
in the vicinity of the station, where
green has taken the place of the blind
ing white of the sand. Part of the

Gus storage purposes. In addition to
these there is a small building for hous-
ing the cooking and waiting staff, FIVE

workers are domiciled in the old wood
en- buildings at first provided.
How They Are Fed.
Everything that could possibly be
done for the comfort of men, in such
an out-of-the-way place as Midway, has
been done by the management of the
c. p. c. Co. A highly efficient cold
storage plant has been installed, capable
of taking care of sufficient frozen meat
for about six months supply, with a
fruit room and ice-making tanks ad-
joining. These, with a well-stocked
provision room and modernly appointed
kitchen. make the Midway dining room
almost equal to an up-to-date hotel in
variety of bill of fare. In the DAYS
when Capt. Walker and his family spent
sixteen months on the island, in a hut
scarcely a stone s throw from the pres
ent dining room, Goney eggs and dried
fish. and little of these at times, were
their principal food. Now the dweller
on Midway has turkey and cranberry

duty at frst-class pianola, the billiard
table or in the up-to- date library with
it's full list of modern standard authors.
To find recreation in spare time is
often difficult in such a place as Mid
~ay as the amending sameness of view
and the sight of the same faces each
day tend to make any recreation monot-
onous in a very short time.
Recreations.
Photography has hitherto been the
favorite pastime. mostly in the produc-
ton of postcards and album prints IL
Illustrative of local scenes, the build
ings and groups, the lack of variety
having driven some of the more in
ventive members of the staff into max
ing some very clever makeup pic
lures, the "Midwav Rapid Transit
being a good example.
Baseball, when the Z. s. Marine
Corps were stationed at Midway, was
practised to some extent, and some ex-
citing games played between them and
the cable staff; but after their depar-
ture last March. the game died nat
ural death. Golf. played with a black
ball, claimed a few enthusiasts for a
time, and walking round the island
has always been a sure means of
