verse the Amazon Forests.


Everything about the Amazon is huge.
romantic and extraordinary. The vague
and but partly recorded story of its eX-
plOrations is full of mysteries, excite
ments>and tragedies. 1t is river of ami
NAL and vegetable serpents. The night
embcsoming forest that covers it must
have a surface. which only birds have
ever yet beheld, radiant with beauty of
blossom unequaled in the world. What
ever grows in the Amazon mud strives
upward with desperate internecine strug-
gle to reach this sky-eXposed surface
and there blossom and fruit. Beneath
where they can walk, all is dark; only
here and there fitful ray of sunlight
struggles through. Orchids blossom with
In the shadow, parasitic upon larger
growth. But it is above, where no man
has ever been. that the glory of color
must reign supreme-coior of flowers. of
butterflies of birds radiant i'll scarlet and
gold and blue.
You can see these bright creatures fit
fully in the cavern below, but not in all
their glory as they must behold one an
other above. Sometimes, as they fit
about beneath, they will chance to cross
a sunbeam slanting through a hole in
the vegetation: then for an instant they
flash into view like an explosion of burn
ing color 1t is thus that the great but
terfiies of the Morpho family are seen
to the best effect. Nc one who has only
beheld them in the beautiful shop win
dows in Regent street, glorious even as
they are there can imagine what an eff
feet they produce in their native haunts
as their wings flash and close and flash
again in the sunlight as they fly.
Some day a wise adventurer will take a
flying machine and be the first of men to
behold the marvellous upper carpet sur
face of the Amazon forest. When he
comes back he will have a tale to tell. but
words will probably fail him for the tell
ing. OF all the great adventures that
remain to be accomplished. an air voyage
over the Amazon forest is the greatest.
Glory Of white polar solitude. glory of
sunsets. glory of sea-there can be none
among these to compare with the unbe-
held glory of the Amazon continent of
flowers.

mitted to the President.
1t was admitted at the White House to-
day that President Taft had requested the
Treasury Department to prepare figures
for his inspection showing the probable
income to the government of a tax of 2
per cent on the dividends of all corpora
lions. The experts figure that the gov
eminent would receive an income from
this source of S15,0OO,OOO.
The President, it is asserted, has not
decided to recommend such a tax, and
may not give it any further considerable
He has been discussing various plans for
increasing the revenues of the govern
ment and the 2 per cent tax was one of
these.
The subject of such tax has been dis
cussed with Secretary MacVeagh and
Senator Aldrich, and if it should become
law would affect banks, insurance COM
panies, building associations and all other
corporations.

Arctic Experts Comment on Probable
Exploit Of Shackleton.

The report that Lieut., Shackleford had
reached the South pole attracted wide
spread interest among the large colony
of Washingtonians who have kept in
formed on geographic exploits.
The possible attainment of the South
pole before the North pole has been
reached despite the larger efforts in the
latter direction has surprised those ia
miliar with exploration progress.
Walter Wellman, the newspaper cores
pondent. described the success OF Lieut..
Shackleton as "a wonderful achieve
ment."
TT will surprise arctic men, he added,
'for all have believed that the north
pole would be reached long before the
south pole.
The great interest in the antarctic
region Is mainly as to the existence and
extent of the so-called glacier continent.
The interest in that polar region is di-
1ected more toward the physical aspect
of the country than toward the pole it
self. while in the north the pole, rather
than the country. has been the greatest
subject of interest.
1T is difficult to believe that an ex-
petition in the comparatively short time
that the Shackelton party has had since
its sailing from home. could reach the
south pole and get news of it's feat back
TO civilization so soon.
Schley Is Doubtful.
Admiral Schley, president of the Arc
tic Club. and now busy trying to raise a
rescue fund to relieve Dr. Fred Cook. who
vanished two years ago in the northern
ice. said he had not heard anything of
the Shackelton expedition till the London
dispatch was called to his attention
He cannot. he said, base an intelli-
gent estimate of the report on the scanty
news from New Zealand, but believes it
possible that Lieut.. ShackeIton has turn
ed the trick.
He knows Shackleford mostly by rep
utation. but has some slight personal
knowledge Of him. He thinks him a
man well equipped to lead such an ex-
petition to success.
Admiral Schley said he hopes the re-
port is true. not only because he is al
ways glad TO see a good man win, but
he hopes it will stimulate interest in
Arctic explora ion to help the club get
together fund that will enable it to
make a prompt and effective search for
DIR. Cook

Kansas Guarantee Law. +.

Senators Curtis and Bristow of Kansas
asked the President tod to direct At
torney General Wickersham to give early
consideration to the Kansas bank guar
antee law. They wished to have the At
torney General notify the attorney gem
eral of Kansas of his readiness to take
the case up.
The controller of currency has submit
ted TO Attorney General Wickercham the
Kansas law, with request that he de-
eide whether national banks are subject
to the law. In the case of the Oklahoma
guarantee law. the Attorney General,
some months ago, decided that the ma
tional banks were not amenable and
should pay no attention to this law.
The Kansas senators claim their law
is voluntary as To banks and mutual in its
phases. They say it is unlike the Okla
homa law.
