Shields For Soldiers.

Experiments conducted in England
suggest the possibility that shields
may once more form an important
part Of the equipment Of an army.
Steel shields three millimeters In
thickness and about 10 square inches
In area have been devised, which az
Ford complete protection against bull
lets fired from the service rife at a
range OF 400 yards.
The small size Of the shield, which
weighs only seven pounds, requires
that the soldier shall lie prone on the
ground In order to be sheltered. Each
shield has a loophole for the rife and
studs at the sides, 50 that a series Of
them can be linked into q continuous
screen. The idea is that by the use
Of such shields the necessity Of dig
ging trenches may often be avoided

ested in the work, who support it
financially, but do not reside in the
temple itself.
The interior is commonplace in ap-
pearance. The assembly hall is
neatly furnished in American style,
with plain wooden chairs and a small
platform at one end. 1t will hold
200 persons, and the audiences range
from 40 persons to it's capacity. On
the walls hang pictures of leaders
of the sect and one picture of Jesus
Christ in Yogi costume, painted by a
Hindu artist.
The Vedanta Services.
The services which are held in this
room are simple, consisting of an
opening chant, period of silent med
itation and a lecture by one of the
swamis, with an invitation to ask
questions. Services are held daily.
On Sunday three services are open
to the public, and there are also
classes for those who desire to be-
come initiated into the faith.
One indication of the growing i'm
portance of the Vedanta is the recent
establishment of a nunnery short
distance from the temple. About
half a dozen American girls have
taken up their abode there, and live
the life of Catholic nuns, under the
supervision of the swamis.
A distinctly interesting feature of
the life of the cult is its yearly pill
grimage to it's colony in the San An
tonic valley. In the midst of large
grove the society has built a few
small houses and for a month of
each year the entire sect is residents
there engaged in 'the practice of
Yogi" If there are rites and cere-
monies which follow those of the
east they are kept carefully in the
background, and to all appearances
the religion and practices of the sect
contain nothing of strange or mys-
terious nature.
The subjects which believers in
the cult of Vedanta mediate upon
are the nature of the Supreme Be-
ing, the origin of the universe, the
mysteries of life and future exist
ence, and the main end of the cult
is to obtain emancipation of the soul
from future birth and existence and
its absorption into the supreme soul
of thp universe

WRONG VIEW OF CENSUS
THE BUREAU AT WASHINGTON
ISSUES A STATEMENT.
No Harm Can Possibly Come to ANY
Person Who Fully Answers
All Questions.

Letters from the census supervis-
ors to the United States Census Blu
reau show the erroneous apprehen-
sion Of a considerable element of the
population that their answers to the
enumerators' questions in the next
census, beginning April 18th, this
year, will cause increased taxation,
legal entanglements, or injurious con-
sequences to their persons and prop
erty.
In order to quiet such unfounded
fears, which would, unless removed.
materially affect the accuracy of the
census, the bureau has prepared an
official statement relative to the de-
cennial census, its origin, purpose
and uses.
This statement should furnish
complete assurance to those con-
cerned that information given the
enumerators is held by the census
bureau in the strictest confidence
with reference to the identity of the
informants, as required by the policy
of the bureau and commanded by the
law of the United States.
The bureau earnestly hopes that
clergymen, priests, physicians, schoo!
teachers, employers and other pub
lic-spirited citizens who come in con-
tact with large numbers of people
will cooperate with the bureau by
telling persons who are believed to
entertain erroneous opinions of the
census the real facts and urging
them to give full replies to the
enumerators. Teachers are particu-
larly requested to speak of the GEN.
sus to the school children.
The statement issued by the bu-
reau explains that the constitution
requires a census of the population
to be taken every ten years in order
to reapportion state representation

DEW AS DRINKING WATER.
How 1t Is Gathered For Use of the

Hitherto dew has been used as a

Gently been robbed of all it's poetic
character by being used for the re-
freshment of English soldiers.
The English administration of
Gibraltar, where water is very scarce,
now collects dew by the following
very simple method: A large pit is
dug in the earth and covered with
dry wood of straw, which in turn
is covered either with a layer of
earth or with sheet iron.
The straw or wood serves as a
heat insulator and effectually pre-
vents the conduction of heat from the
ground to the layer of earth or the
sheet iron above. Consequently this
iron or earth cOOls after sunset much
more rapidly than the ground, so
that its temperature soon falls be-
low the dew point of the surrounding
air.
Hence dew is formed upon the iron
or the layer of earth in very large
quantities. The water thus OBJ
tanned is drained off into reservoirs
and after Qualification is used for
drinking .-Scientific American.

Treasury Officials Seek to Wipe Out
Large Sums the States Borrowed
From Government in 1886.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Way back
in 1886 the United States government
became so liberal that it was de-
cided to loan the states of the Union
a large amount of money, in round
numbers more than $28,OOO,OOO.
mere was apparently no hard times
then, as everything in the treasury
except 100000 was loaned out to
the states in proportion to the num-
Der OF representatives in congress.
Not only was there plenty of money
on hand, but no one even thought
the time would come when the gov
eminent would actually be in debt to
the amount of $5O,O0O,OOO, and want
the money. Uncle Sam now realizes
that it is a bad debt; in fact, a bad
asset, and is trying to find some way
not 10 collect the money, but to wipe
the obligation off his books.
The secretary of the treasury
plalnly says in communication adj
dressed to congress today there is
no way to collect this money. and
that carrying the debt over from
year to year is causing the treasury
Dookkeepers a very large amount of
extra work, and that some method
ought to be found that will at least
permit his department to cancel the
obligation.
This loan was authorized bv an
act Of congress passed in 1886. and
those states that took advantage of
1t received three-fourths of the
amount that was apportioned them.
In 1887, however, the loan was
stopped, but the states that were to
share in this gratuitous distribution
OF the country's money had already
gotten a hand in the federal treas
ury, and no return has ever been
made of the amounts loaned them.
Or the larger amounts New York
received more than $4,OOO,OOO;
Pennsylvania, $3,0O0,000; Ohio. So
100000; Virginia, $4,000, 900; North
and South Carolina, Georgia and
Alabama more than $1,000,O0O each;
Kentucky and Tennessee, $1,5OO,O0O
each, and other states smaller
amounts
Just what constitutional question
has arisen to prevent these amounts
from being returned to the federal
treasury by the states which secured
them is not stated in the communi-
cation sent to congress, but appar-
emily there is no way to secure a
repayment. The only thing now is
for the government to find some legal
way of wiping the obligation off it's
books and cancelling the loans.

HINDU MISSIONARIES AT WORK
IN THE UNITED STATES.
Americans Supporting Movement to
Attract Christians to TheOI-
Ogy of India.

SAN FRANCISCO.-While Ameri-
cans are sustaining missions in for
eign lands for the conversion of the
heather the latter has turned the
tables on is and has invaded this
country to teach us the religion and
mysticism of the Orient. A year ago
the first Hindu temple in the western
world was established in this city,
and an effort, more successful than
many would imagine possible, has
been made to convert christians to
the theology and philosophy of In
dia. Today the temple is firmly
established institution, and its cult
OF Vedanta is apparently taking
root. The curious visitor to one OF
the lectures" at the temple will
see an audience which generally fills
the small assembly hall, and one I'M
doubtedly interested in the doctrines
eXpounded from the platform. 1t is
fact that the sWamis, or priests, or
the San Francisco temple are not
there to minister to their own peo-
pie. Although every one is welcome
to the meetings the audience is COM
posed practically entirely of whites,
and the active partisans and imam
cial helpers in the movement are
American citizens.
The Vedanta Society of America
was founded in this country some 10
Years ago by Yogi Swami Vivekan-
anda and it first came to San Fran
cisco in 1900. 1t was not until
year ago, however, that it's first tenn
pie of worship was established. The
latter stands at Filbut and Webster
streets, we'll away from the center
OF the city, and is substantial
building, modelled after the gorgeous
temples of Vedanta which are scat
tered throughout India. Each of its
towers is a copy of a distinctive part
OF some one of the great temples OF
Hindustan.

TAX RETURN DATE.
Taxation Must Be Based ON Value of
Property March 1st.

The state tax board, composed of
Governor Brown, Controller-General
Wright and State Treasurer Brown,
has fixed March 1st as the date on
which tax returns for 1910 are to
be made.
That is, all property in the posses
sion of individuals or corporations on
that date must be returned in the
name of the then owner. On that
date also the valuation on property
is also fixed for the current year.
Since the country generally has
recovered to a great extent from the
panic of 1907-1908 it is expected that
the returns for 1910 will show a
marked increase over those of last
year.
