Eye Shows Disease.

According to DIR. w. Anderschon, a
Norwegian scientist, all diseases and
injuries are registered on the iris,
either by color spots or lines, each
organ of the body being connected
up with the iris and having its repre-

is the indicator for the right part of
the body and the left eye the indi-
Gator for the left half. The new sys-

C0NQUERlNG THE WASTE SAND
European Countries Solving Great
Problem by Planting Vast Areas
With Trees.

Europe Is conQuering the waste land
problem by planting trees. Every year
thousands of acres of land are being
reclaimed in this way by the leading
countries and put In a condition
preparatory to a profitable timber har-
vest In the years to zone.
Not only many previously forested
areas which have been cut over have
been planted UP but a number of the
countries are also devoting their ener-
giles to establishing a forest cover oil
dunes and other waste lands, and, In
fact, IN all land which is more valu-
able for producing timber than for
other purposes.
France has been one of the foremost
European countries in reforestatioD,
especially In the mountains, where
planting has been a powerful factor In
controlling torrents and regulating
stream flow. The state each year buys
uncultivated lands, in the mountain
regions, and up to January. 1907, it
had acquired sos, 900 acres in this way.
Gommunes, associations and private
individuals are also assisted in re-
iorestation work by grants of money
and by supplies of plants and seeds.
Altogether 249, 900 acres have been
planted through this public assistance.
Complete exemption from taxation for
4 long period of years is granted in
the case of plantations made on the
tops of slopes of mountains. A reduc-
ton of three-fourths for all land plant

Some Facts All Nebraskans Ought to
Scatter Broadcast.

tHkaH
Very few people have any idea of
the productivity of Nebraska. They
have some comprehension of the gold
output of4the nation and of the sew
eral states. They think of the copper
output as something wonderful. They
think of the tobacco crop as one of
the nations great resources. Yet they
utterly fail to realize that Nebraska
produces in grains and grasses more
wealth than the gold mines, the cop
per mines or the tobacco plantation.
Wonderful stories have been told
of the Alaskan mines, and thousands
have been 1ured to the mountains of
the west and the frozen wastees of
Alaska by the glitter of the yellow
metal. But in 1909 the corn crop of
Nebraska was worth So, 600 900 more
than all the gold mined during the
same year in the entire United States,
including Alaska and the Philippines.
We have heard about sugar and
its protection until We are apt to
imagine that the sugar crop of the
United States is something magnifi-
cent in its proportions. But the 1909
wheat crop in Nebraska was worth
S., 700, 600 more than the entire sugar
production of the United States dur
ing the same year.
Texas is a great state, and it takes
the lead in cotton production. We
have heard a great deal about 'King
Cotton" but the 1909 oats crop in
Nebraska was worth 81, 500, 900 more
than the 1909 cotton crop of Texas.
Kentucky is the greatest tobacco
producing state in the Union, and
we are apt to believe it means more
to Kentucky than any grain crop
means to Nebraska. But the 1909
egg crop in Nebraska was worth
$500, 900 more than the 1909 crop of
Kentucky tobacco.
Rockefeller acquired wealth from
petroleum, and we are apt to imagine
that the crude petroleum product il
something. far surprising the entire
product of N~ebraska's field and
stock yards. Not SOL In 1909 the
Nebraska live stock product was
worth 50, 900, 900 more than the total
crude petroleum product of the United
States for the same year.
Illinois is one of the great coal pro-
ducing states of the Union, and coal
is one of the boosted products of
the Sucker state. But Nebraska wild
and tame hay in 1909 was worth
$14, 00O, 900 more than the 1909 out
put of Illinois coal.
Nebraska butter in 1909 was worth
SO, 000, 900 more than the total gold
and silver output of Colorado's mines
for the same year.
Nebraska's 1909 corn crop was
worth $23, 900, 900 more han the Ma
tons tobacco crop for the same year.
Nebraska live ctock, cereals, grass
es, butter, eggs, fruit and poultry in
1909 was worth as much as the Ma
tons output of bituminous coal, save
the output of Illinois, mentioned above
Nevada is the great mining state,
but her 1909 output of gold and silver
was worth Il, 900, 900 less than Ne
braska's 1909 CROP of alfalfa.
We hear much of the iron and steel

Agreement for Purchase of 10000 Bales
Observation-Disclosures Feels Effect.

There was started in New
York Tuesday federal investigation
without precedent in this country. The
attorney-general of the United States
ordered an inquiry into the gigantic bull
movement in cotton, with which the
names of James A. Patten Of Chicago,
Frank B. Hayne and William p. Brown
of New Orleans and Eugene Scales OF
Texas have been popularity connected.
Hayne and Brown both appear as de-
PENDANTS in the proceedings, hut it could
not be learned whether Mr.. patten will
be subpoenced at Chicago to come here
and testify. He has been generally
credited, however, with being the fnan-
cial genius of the pool, and in recent
position and his determination to fight
the supposed bear clique which has been
reshipping cotton to this country from
England in an endeavor to break the
market.
Subpoenas were issued at the direc'
ton of Mr.. Wickersham commanding

ton brokers to appear before a special
federal grand jury tomorrow to testify
in the matter of the Omitted States
against Frank B. Hayne and William P.
Brown"
The subpoenas demand the submission
to the special grand jury of all records,
papers, letters, memoranda and an agree
ment dated Feb. &c last by Hayne and
Brown and others. The agreement, the
subpoenas state, was for the purchase of
10000 bales of cotton for delivery in
New York during March and July, in.
elusive, at certain prices and under GER
tain conditions. The fixing of the prices
and conditions, the government charges,
was a violation of law.

Mr.. Durand, the director Of the cen
sus, has been casting a preliminary
glance over the field, and he makes a
rough estimate that the enumeration
this year will show a population of
between SS,000,000 and 90.000,O00 The
directors estimate would seem to be
conservative as 1t does not include
any extraordinary growth. In fact.
according to his total the ratio of in
crease would be smaller than in the
preceding ten years. The census of
1900 gave a population of 76,303,387.
a gain of nearly 100000 over 1890.
"A corresponding gain from 1900 to
1910 would send the figures consider.
ably over the 100000 mark In fact,
the World Almanac, taking the esti-
mates of governors of states and terri
tories, places the population for the
United States at present at 94,049,810.
There has been some remarkable de-
velopment in some localities, and the
final results of the census taking this
year may furnish some surprises.

His Later Years-A Clean
Life Record.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens, Ameri
cas- foremost humorist and known the
world over as Mark Twain" was born
in the little town of Hannibal. Mo-, In
November 80 1885,
His father, John Marshall Clemens.
came from an old Virginia family, and
with his young wife, Elizabeth Lamp
ton, a descendant of the early settlers
of Kentucky, he joined the sturdy
band of pioneers who pushed over the
Alleghanies in the. early part of the
last century and settled along the
banks of the Mississippi river.
In the uncouth environment of the
then little frontier town of Hannibal
the famous author spent his boyhood
days. Here he fished, hunted and
lounged along the river banks with his
sturdy companions, living a healthy
outdoor existence, which undoubtedly
accounted for his long life. in the face
of his many Affections.
He attended the little school. but
not being OF very studious disposi-
ton. he learned far more from con-
tact with the rough companions whom
he fmmortalized in later years as
"Huckleberry Finn" and Tom Saw
yer" and others of their type.
At the age of twelve his meager
school education was brought to a
sudden close by the death of his ia
Their.
His older brother, Orion s. Glenn
ems. was the proprietor of a printing
shop in the village, and young Sam
Clemens began his journalistic career
there as a printers devil" In the
course of few years he learned the
trade as compositor, and in 1853 he
left his native town and began wan
dering existence. He journeyed from
place to place, working at his trade in
New York and the principal cities of
the middle west.
But while he gained a vast amount
of experience during his travels, which
proved of the greatest value in the
of some of his works in
later years, this period was rather I'M
profitable from financial standpoint,
and he was finally compelled to return
to his home along the banks of the
great river in rather straitened cir
cumstances.

The factions have not yet got to-
gether in Nicaragua, but 1t looks more
and more as though they are likely to
do so. President Madriz has made
peace proposals, and General Estrada
the leader of the insurgents, has re-
piled. The offer is not accepted, but
General Estrada suggests meditation,
with the United States as the deciding
power. Uncle Sam is not looking for
any such mission. but II he can be in
strumental in bringing about an hon

In restoring peace to distracted re-

the steps taken looking to the with

that apprehensions of further serious
trouble are no longer entertained.
