their former inhabitants, geography,
and the possible mineral wealth. Time.
he writes, does not hang heavily on
his hands in the desolate regions, be-
cause he keeps investigating. He
would, however, like to know who
has been elected president OF the Uni
ted States.
Besides studying the region In
which he is now, he has spent a good
deal Of time exploring the island OF
Southampton, about which little has
been known, and has made q new
chart OF the place. One OF his letters
written last October, but just now re-
ceived by Capt. b. 8. Osbon, chair.
man OF the executive committee OF the
Arctic club, Is given below:
In our cruising this past summer
we increased our knowledge of the
island of Southampton, and so have
made a rough drawing of 1t in the
hopes that 1t may be useful in cor
recting the present charts. In gen.
eral outline II gives very good idea
of the island, especially as the south
shore has never been known. Should
any mineral ever be found here this
bay would be the place for head
quarters. Iron ore Is evidently
abundant, judging BY the pieces
found around the old cncampmcnts.
There are no natives living on the
island at present, but in times past It
must have had q population Of 300.
The estimate is based on the number
OF houses which were permanent
homes. These were partly under
ground, with low wall Of stone and
bones, upon which were laid whales
jaws and crown bones. the inner ends
resting on king post built of fiat
limestone. From this king post to
the rear would be stone and earth,
this forming partition between the
sleeping apartments. as one OF these
houses would accommodate two or
three families and were occupied by
succeeding generations until they be-
came unbearable from the accumu-
lation Of lamp SCOT or perhaps some
death occurring in them, though it was
the custom to carry out the ones who
were likely to die and make rude
shelter for them near by. These
houses were used more as winter
quarters, and from the amount Of ref
use thrown out, were probably

In 1897 met these people and got
them to give me the number OF men,

living on the island. This was done

WAYS OF THE ANT

and take a nap here in corner OF the
stable" If he does his lead is cut off.
Up at the single entrance into the
ant-hill will be found sentry, day and
night, keeping guard lest some sud-
den attack may be made on the cita-
del. When a hostile body of ants Is
seen marching in his direction, the
sentry gives the alarm and the SOL
diers are Immediately modified to go
forth and give battle to the invaders.
The door of the ant-hill opens into
passage about a quarter of an inch
in diameter, and this leads downward
into the house proper. Galleries
branch off in every direction, connect
ing with all sorts of rooms which
vary in size according 10 the purpose
for which they are built.
One Of the most interesting features
of ant-life is the attention that is paid
to the COWS, for the ants have aphids,
or mich COWS, and dairymen look aft
err them very carefully.
When the springtime comes. the at
tendants drive the aphids out to pas
ture on the blades Of new grass, each
day taking them to a new place. Then
at milking time. the milkmaids take
the cows and stroke them with their
feet until they yield a drop of milk
with which the maids hurry down to
the nursery where II is fed to the
baby ants.
1t is very important to keep on hand
good stock Of cows, for there is
always a nursery full of children
no race-suicide among the ants. The
queens lay thousands of eggs, which
are Matched by other ants. hence there
are millions Of babies wanting milk.
The young ants have wings and the
queens lead them into the open air
where they fly around giving the
world notice that they have reached
the age OF discretion. After the flight,
their wings are torn of and they set
tie down to keeping house and rails
ing Rooseveltian families.
There Is much work then to be done
by all hands, for not only must daily
bread be supplied but sufficient store
must be laid away to feed these mil.

The bigger the farm and the more
complicated the work, the greater
need of system. Lay out plan and
try to work to 1t. Make every ster
count, and the choring will soon seem
almost like machine work. Make one
part Of the work lead up to another
part, and don't go over the same
ground two or three times when one
time will answer just as well. These
needless steps, besides firing you out,
take up valuable time. The average
farmer probably does not realize how
much time and running about may be
saved by just little planning.

AS to the value OF silage on the
farm the following can be said: It
is easily stored and keeps well when
well-stored. 1t harvests the corn when
1t is at its fullest development. The
stock, especially the cows, thrive on
It. 1t is succulent feed and makes
milk. There is no waste to 1t when
properly handled. This also is true
of the corn crop when harvested. 1t
is the very best solution Of the prob
lem which faces the farmer during
the short-pasture period Of the sum-
mer months.

The Sugar schedule.

The beet and a n sugar interests OF
the country are uniting to secure ia
vorable action on the sugar schedule
In the new tarin bill. The two inter-
ests are not competitors for the sur
cient reason that we do not produce
sugar enough to supply even approx
mately the home demand. Last year
the importations of sugar amounted to
3,371,997,112 pounds, against a do
nestle production in the same year of
beet sugar s67,223,O10 pounds and
cane sugar 514.320,00O pounds, a total
of 1,4s1,543,01O pounds. In other
words, for each pound of sugar pro-
duced in the United States two and a
half pounds are imported.
1t is asserted that the sugar indus
try cannot be maintained without the
aid of q protective duty and as against
the argument that protection will not
assist in bringing the output up to the
point of supplying the needs of the
country the development of the beet
sugar industry is cited. From the
early eos, when 1t frst gained a foot
hold in this country; It has grown un-
til the production last year amounted
to over coo. 1000 900 pounds. The pro.
lection asked is not only based on the
general theory of protection, but or
the further one of creating an indus.
try. II has the added claim to recog.
milton that 1t benefits sections of the
country which have few products OF
industries coming within the scope Of
the tariff schedule.
The composition of the senate sub
committee which has this schedule un,
der consideration is such as to insure
1t due consideration, being composed
of Burrows of Michigan. Flint of Cali
fornia and Smoot of Utah, all heav!
sugar-producing states. Nebraska
with one remaining factory. has an in
terest in the final disposition of tn,
question.
The beet sugar industry is particu
larry adapted to sections OF the coun
try where general farming is not 81
profitable. particularly the irrigated
sections. the failures in Nebraska be

but because something else paid bet

The Experiment Station.

Nebraska is 70 essay an experiment both
novel and difficult this fall In electing three
supreme judges and two regents Of the
State university, besides district judges and
county superintendents, without party nom
nations or primaries-world-He Herald.
When The Bee said that the election
OF a democratic governor and legisla-
ture meant that Nebraska was to be-
come an experiment station for ques-
tlonable legislation, It predicted truly.
The experiment that is ahead Of us by
reason OF the so-called nonpartisan
judiciary bill is not only novel and
difficult" but liable to prove danger
u in the extreme.
We are having q sample here in
Omaha right now Of what this election
may become, with the hoodgates wide
open for anyone and everyone who as
pires to become a member of the Board
Of Fire and Police Commissioners by
submitting his name at an election
without party nominations or prima-
RES" The requirement OF a petition
for judicial candidates signed by 5000
voters might operate as a brake, but
still 1t is doubtful IL this requirement
does not set up an unreasonable OBJ
stacle for running for ONCE and estab-
lish a qualification for holding judicial
position not sanctioned by the consti-
tuition. II so, the 5,O00-name petition
will be Knocked out.
The World-Herald suggests that the
prohibition Of party nominations and
primaries will put great power in the
hands of the State Bar association
and leave 1t to the lawyers to name
the judges before whom they are to
practice. II this is what the new law
is intended to do, or the way 1t works
out In practice, 1t will certainly be a
bad law. The judges should represent
the whole people and not Just the law
yers who want to have a pull in court.
There is quite enough favoritism be-
tween judges and lawyers practicing
before them now without accentuating
1t.
Self-preservation is the first law of
nature and to protect and safeguard
the courts 1t may become necessary to
organize a popular movement to pre-
vent the proposed experiment from
wrecking the cornerstone of our free
government.

about Fitzgerald Of New York, how
ever, being the man for the purpose is
ridiculous both because of his lack of
ability as an orator and because of his
corporation afnliations depriving him
Of strength among the rank and file.
To produce results the growing SEN
timent must center around a leader
from some state where there is at least
a prospect of democratic success. The
politicians Of the party are tired of
marching every four years to the
strains of a funeral dirge and the rank

ciples are dear. show signs of being
weary of following after false gods,
even to the accompaniment Of a sill
