wasteful people in the world. This is so
much the better for those who deal In our
waste. The humble junk business, the
trade OF unconsidered trifles, has pros
pered in America more than in all other
countries. In Boston lives a dealer who
has accumulated more than 1900, 900; sew

six figures. The leading dealer in PTovi-

iron, is worth $4,000. Philadelphia has
two junk millionalres and a cluster of
near-millionaires. One of these Philadelphia
dealers has 10000 invested in buildings
and equipment alone. Ground in New York
is too costly for many large warehouses
or iron yards. and most OF them are located
in New Jersey. Scattered over that state
are a dozen dealers who have made $50, 900,

Ornamental Fixtures of the Cocktail

One pathetic incident in the history Of
American beverages is the passing of the
cherry from the cocktail glass. We have
so long cherished the decorative bit of
red, and so long enjoyed the old stories on
the subject, that news OF the cherry being
out Of date comes with a positive shock.
The olive in Martins is equally bad form.
The cherry or olive is no longer served
unless asked for, and neither is the lemon
peel. There is a reason for II all. When
cocktails were first used the American pal

INDUSTRIAL LIFE HERE
Agents of Y. M. C. A. international
Committee to Come to Omaha.
DRAWN BY PACKING CENTER
They Have an Improved system of
Teaching Foreigners How to
Speak and Write the Eng
Iish Language.

George B. McDill. ormerly an Omaha
railway man, and Peter Roberts of the in
dustrial department of the international
committee, Young Mems Christian associa-
ton. will come to Omaha with a number
of associates the last part of May to study
the industrial situation here.
Omaha has been selected as a typical
packing center where there are many
foreign born citizens, who must learn the
English language for their own protection
and usually without much assistance from
the public.
The findings of the men who have to do
with the industrial department in all parts
OF the world will be reported to the con-
ference Of employed officers of the Young
Mems Christion association. which meets
in Omaha. June ! to 6 inclusive.
This department has a method Of teaching
the English language to foreigners, no diff
ference how dense, in a remarkably short
time and while in Omaha some few OF the
new arrivals at the Omaha packing houses
will be given some free lessons in English,
which will give them a better start in
mastering the language than they would
get by going to school several months.
The lessons are copyrighted, printed on
big charts that a large number of men may
see them and some of the hardest ones can
be taught to a class in a few minutes. Some
Of the lessons which viii enable a man who
has never heard of English. to tell his
friends all about going To breakfast; going
to his home. or going into certain rooms
and getting certain things, can be learned
by an ordinary foreigner in five minutes.
To demonstrate the value of the system
those attending the conference OF the In
dustrial group at the Omaha meetings in
June. will be given an opportunity Of see
ing and hearing a man come into the room
ignorant Of English and go out with Il
remarkable amount of knowledge Of the
language.
Some OF the state conferences Of the
employed officers are TO be held early. The
Indiana conference is April Il and 10, and
the New York conference at Binghamton.

Gently paid a visit to the island to take
photographs of the birds there and to
study the islands merits as a breeding
and gathering place for the migratory
game of the country.
Mr.. Jobs glowing reports of the thou
sands OF birds OF all kinds that he found
there, the tameness of the Cat island
feathered tribes and the natural features
OF the place for the successful propaga-
ton OF birds, were made the basis for
the present Boston movement to acquire
the island.
II believe the creation of this island, re-
mote from the mainland and now the
home of both migratory and breeding birds,
into a great sanctuary for our game birds
is one of the most excellent measures that
can and undoubtedly will enlist the inter-

Brewster.
THE island itself, a low, level, we'll tim
bered place in the Gulf of Mexico, is one
Of the most remarkable congregating places
for both breeding and migratory birds in
the country.
1T is safe to say that millions of these
creatures either make their nests there or
else spend several weeks of each year on
the island during their flights north and
south.
THE object of the purchase Of the island
is to render the birds going there safe at
all seasons from everybody.
w know that when birds find such a
place they will continue to go there in in
cressing numbers and they also tend to
spread out from such localities"
The purchase of Cat island is declared TO
be an initial movement in establishing a
chain of such bird sanctuaries" which will

Jim HILL AND HIS PILE
How the Great Northern MaEnHte
and Canadian Associates Made
a Killing.

Our enthusiasm concerning the romantic
phases OF American railroad history should
not lead us to overlook the extraordinary
liberality wherewith our government once
bestowed the public domain upon any gem
tleman that happened TO be in the railroad
line OF enterprise. Aided by a corps OF
expert accountants. the magazine has spent
months in gathering the facts and figures
upon which this Introductory article Is
based. Reciting the first chapter in this
greatest of all railroad romances, the writer
explains that in 1851 what is now the state
OF Minnesota was a territory, and that on
March 3 Of that year the congress OF the
United States granted to the territory OF
Minnesota a vast area OF public lands to
be used to encourage the building of rail-
roads. Nineteen days later, which at that
time was about as quickly as the good
news could reach st. Paul, the territorial
legislature chartered the Minnesota q Pa
cinc Railroad company. which patriatic
gentlemen had formed in expectation OF
congressional generosity, and TO them,
therefore, was conveyed much of the land
bestowed by congress-subsequently en-
HANGED by further largesse OF the same
kind.

HISTORY PLUCKED FROM STAR
Priest Astronomer Who Has Learned
the Age of the Pyramids
of Egypt.

II has remained for q priest of the
Catholic church in America to settle for
all time the mooted question of the age
OF the great pyramids OF Egypt.
The priest Is Rev. Father Guicheteau of
the French Catholic Church Of st. Vim
cent de Paul, in West Twenty-thrid street.
New York, and the figures at which he
has arrived after most elaborate and in
tricate calculations show that the pyra-
mids were built about $500 years before
the birth of Christ.
Father Gulcheteau's computation is
based on the position Of the polar star.
In one OF the great pyramids is a long.
narrow p-assageway, or tunnel, aiming up
ward at an angle that made II obvious the
builders had in mind but one thing-as-
Economical observation. The one bright
particular star that attracted the atten-
ton of the people of the earth at the time
the pyramids were constructed was the
polar star, which moves but one degree
in every two centuries. 1t was doubt
less to observe the polar star that the
long inclined tunnel In the pyramid was
made.
On this assumption Father Guicheteau
commenced his calculation He made
some observations with his telescope and

had crept into his work, the priest-as-
tronomer repeated all of his work twice.
each time arriving at the same figures.
Scientists generally ave expressed the
opinion that the date arrived at by Father
Gutcheteau represents the date OF the
building of the pyramid within a few
years one way or the other.
Calculations with the same end in view
have previously been made. but none OF
the figures obtained nave heretofore been
generally accepted as reliable. The major
tty of the calculations nave. like Father
Guicheteau's, shown the year $500 B. c.. or
Whereabouts, almost without exception
within fifty years OF that date. Father
Guicheteau's Astronomical solution of the
world problem. 1924 years before Christ's
birth, seems therefore to be well nigh in
disputable.
The solving OF the great problem of the
pyramids is not Father Guiohcteau's only
astronomical accomplishment. with a
telescope on the roof OF the parish house
of his church, the cleric has brought to
light several unknown variable stars and
has added in other ways to the sum total
of the worlds knowledge of the firma-
ment.

to defect half the rays OF the sun. Father
Guicheteau has made some important
