Opinions of weIl-Known Men.

There is no other hope for men,
says William Dean Howells, "but In
the civic help Of women. Everything
in the movement to give women the
suffrage appeals to my reverence and
sense Of justice"

equal opportunities and responsible
ties and equal rewards to the indi-
viduals who deserve them"
To-day should be a time of educa-
tion," says DR.. Percy S. Grant.

women similar to that In New York
should be established in every city.
Women, I believe, will ultimately share
the ballot with men,"

The boiling-points OF metals have

had undertaken a new investigation of
this subject. and he gives the follow
Ing results for certain well known
metals: Aluminium, 1900 degrees c.;
copper, 2,310 degrees c.; iron, 2,45O

Lord Dudley, the Governor-General
of Australia, has headed movement
for persuading the federal government
to establish in Australia a solar OBJ
servatory to act in concert with those
now in operation in England, India
and America. 1t is pointed out that
there is great break in the chain of
California and India, and covering a
distance Of $50 degrees Of longitude.
The proposed observatory in Australia
would serve to fill this gap. Moreover,
it would possess special value from
being located in the southern hemi
sphere. With its aid continuous Sc
ries of observations Of the sun. ex
tending throughout the "a hours, could
be made.
Among the most interesting of Amer
lean birds Is the great vulture called
the California condor, which rivals the
famous condor of the Andes in size,
averaging Az feet in length and 10
feet in spread of wings. 1t nests in
wild and inaccessible places in the
mountains. Its eggs measure Az by
21a inches, and are very rare in col
lections Prof. Vernon l.. Kellogg calls
attention to the fact that this bird car
ries two mallophagan parasites which
are common to 1t and to the two other
great vultures of the American cor
dillera, the Andean condor and the
king-yulture, whose combined range
extends several thousand miles north
and south. But the parasites are wing
less. whereas the vultures represent

individuals are particularly non-grega-
rious. How, then, have they come into
the possession of identical parasites?
Professor Kellogg believes that the ex-
planation must be that the parasites
infested an extinct common ancestor OF
the three related types Of birds, and
have persisted, practically unchanged,
on its now divergent descendants.
Invention during the next two or
three centuries, says Prof John G.
McKindrick, will probably be in the

Pork-raising ought to be a profitable
industry for those engaged in 1t, as
the demand for pork increases every
year, and the supply is decreasing. On
Jan. / the number Of swine in the
great pork-raising and exporting States
Of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kan
sas, Michigan. Missouri and Nebraska
was only little more than four-fifths
as great as on the same date year
earlier. The actual decrease was near
ly five million swine. AS these States
produce one-half of all the swine in
the country and probably large part
Of the pork consumed in the non-swine-
producing commonwealth. the fact
that the decrease In them Is about
three-quarters Of the decrease in the
United States throws an interesting
light on the cause Of the increase in
the price Of pork within the past year
or so.

MISSION DOCTORS I'M cH1rA
Surgical Operations in FOochOw g,
RidiculousIy Low Prices.

Surg cal Operations in FOochOyy s.t
RidiculOusIy Low Prices.
Some of the best surgical work In
the world is done by medical mission
aries, who often have the poorest kind
OF equipment in the way of building
and apparatus. says the Boston Tran
script. DR.. H. N. Kinnear, at the head
OF a hospital in Foochow, has been
obliged to use the settling room of
his own house for an operating room,
but last year he performed over 800
operations with only his wife and un-
trained natives for assistants. A new
hospital Is In process of erection, on
high ground, which will bring the
buildings into prominence from large
part Of the city. OF the nearly $4,000
patients treated last year several came
from high-class families, and they were
most appreciative of what was done
for them. A distinctive feature of this
and all mission hospitals is the person,
usrally.a native Christian, who acts
as kind of chaplain. Many of the
patients have never heard the gospel
story, and while they are being helped
physically they listen willingly to what
Is told them. Religious services are
also held every day In the room where
people await their turn and receive
the bamboo tallies that decide the or
ler In which they are to be seen. Fees
are ridiculously small, according to our
American standard, cents being the
maximum, except in special cases,
when the munificent sum of 25 cents is
charged! This allows precedence to
men who wear the long gown of the
literati and object to waiting while la
borers and women receive attention.
DR.. Kinnear is resourceful man and
often uses the Chinese queue to hold
IN place the dressings Of wounds about
the head or as sling for the support
OF injured or diseased hands and arms.
He writes that he considers medical
missionaries the most favored of all
workers. Yet his salary is far below
what he could earn as surgeon in the
United States.

How Money Get. Into Circulation

How Money Gets Into Circulation.
There are four different kinds of le
gal tender In this country. They are
gold and silver coins. gold and silver
certificates, treasury notes and na-
tional bank notes. When gold bullion
Is brought to the government mint to
be coined the person to whom the gold
belongs is paid by the government in
gold coin. while those bringing silver
bullion are paid in silver certificates.
Owing to the fact that gold easily
wears away and that gold coin, aft
er being in circulation for some time,
would lose some OF the gold, the value
deteriorates. There would not be the
full amount of gold in the coin and
the actual value would be less than
the face value. The government In
stead Of allowing the gold to circulate
puts 1t into its vaults and issues GER
tificates Of deposit which entitle the
holder to the face value Of the GER
tihcate II he presents It at the treas
ury, and he is given the amount Of
gold II calls for. The same is done
with the silver, but merely because
silver is too heavy to carry around
in large quantities. The silver certif-
Gates are in the form of one and two
dollar bills. Treasury notes are mere
ly promissory notes issued by the gov
ernment. No certain amount has
been deposited in the United States
treasury for them, but the govern
ment's credit is behind them. Ma
tional bank notes are the same as the
treasury notes with the exception that
instead of being Issued by the govern
ment they are issued by the national
banks, whose credit is good, for tho
government backs them.
