The famous old Santa re trail is to
be marked so that its location will
not be forgotten. The school children
of Kansas we're asked to contribute
penny each to secure suitable markers
for this pioneer highway of progress,
and 369,166 responded. with this
fund the trail will be outlined in an
enduring manner from Kansas City to
Santa Fe. 800 miles as tie caravans
made IL, the time consumed for the
round trip being 11O days. 1t is be-
lieved the trail dates back to 1910,
when a Spanish adventurer led an
expedition from Mexico as far north
as Kansas, But It was not until the
beginning of the last century that the
American trader and pioneer utilized
the long trail that stretched out into
the wilderness of the new Ell Dorado.

One Book Authors.

Robert Burton, the author Of 1.-The
Anatomy of Melancholy" may claim
this honor: His book has stood the
test of time as few books have Pro-
fessor Saintsbury writes that "all fit
readers of English literature have
loved him" Lamb praises the fan
tastic great old man" and, indeed,
borrowed from him many a choice
phrase. Among other remarkable
lone book authors" may be mention
ed Sir Thomas Mallory, whose ia
nous collection of Arthurian ro-
mances is one of the imperishable
treasures of the English tongue;
Richard Hooker, whose Laws of, Ec-
clesiastical Polity' is still a stand
ard book on the constitution of the
Church of England. and Gilbert
White, whose immortal Natural
History of Selbourne" is still read
with pleasure and profit.

t4Iahe.t KNOWN Temperature.

Sir Andrew Noble has reached the
highest point OF temperature In ter
restrial .thermometry, says Harper's
Magazine. He has accomplished this
by exploding cordite in closed vessels
with resulting pressure of so tons to
the square inch. and q temperature OF
no less than $500 degrees G. Sir
William Crookes saw that one Incl
dental result of this experiment
should have been the formation OF
diamond-that Is, If his calculations
were correct On working over the
residues of the explosion chamber he
has recently extracted from them
small crystals that seem to be verit-
able diamonds. We see. then. that II
men cannot control the conditions
that make for large diamonds. they,
at least, understand them. II is. in all
likelihood. a matter of a comparative
ly short time when the diamond will
have been conquered as absolutely as
ruby.
With this final temperature OF $500
degrees c. we have reached the limit
looking back we see that every step
in temperature he has so far taken
has led him just so far along the path
to universal conquest-the absolute
conquest which he is destined ulti-
mately to make. But in this phase
OF temperature alone he still has far
to go. We have had evidence from
many sources that even in the sun.
which is by no means the hottest Of
the heavenly bodies, and which yet
possesses temperatures that transcend
anything we know on earth the very
elements of matter lie there disin-
tegrated into simpler forms. Such
temperatures are the distant Alpine
heights ever and ever SO far higher
than the saight ascent to which we
lave so tendiously arrived.

Tale of an Animal Trainer.

Animal trainers of the old days led
adventurous lives. In 1900 all London
was talking of a man named Benkes,
servant to the Earl of Essex, who had
taught his horse to count and perform
a number of feats, including mounting
to the top of St. Paul's Cathedral
while "a number of asses,' as the his
torian puts it, "brayed below" Sir
Walter Raleigh, in his history, says OF
Bankes that he would have shamed
all of the enchanters of the world; for
whatsoever was most famous among
them could never master or instruct
anv beast as he did his horse" When
Bankes took his horse to Rome both
were burnt for witchcratt.

Constitutional Regime m Turkey
Causes Influx from Russia,
Persia and Elsewhere
JERUSALEM IS IN THEIR HANDS
Colonies Spread Through Plain OF Es-
draeIon and Modern Methods OF
Agriculture Greatly increase Pro
ductIon of Paying Crops.

London.-Letters from Jerusalem
say that the proclamation OF the Con-
stitution in Turkey has thrown open
the doors of Palestine to the incom-
ing OF Jews from all parts of the
world. In Jerusalem alone four-hfths
of the population Of 100000 now be-
long to the Jewish faith, while 1t Jaf-
ia, Tiberias. Safed, and Haifa Jews
are reckoned by tens OF thousands.
Almost the whole extensive plain
of Esdraelon has been bought IN by
them. Their prosperous colonies
spread from Dan to Beersheba. ard
even further south TO the outskirts o.
Egypt. Thousands are escaping from
Persia to find shelter and protection
in the Holy Land, while every sh p
from Odessa carries hundreds OF them.
The valley of the Jordan. once the
property of the ex-Sultan Abdul Ham
i'd, is being eagerly sought after by
Jewish capitalists and syndicates OF
Zionists, whose agents, distributed al
over the land, are buying up rich prop
critics of Mohammedan offendc
whose incomes since the reyoiut:
are considerably lessened.
The Holy City is essentially jew
ish town. Banking. as well as trade
and commerce, is monopolized by
Jews. The Government has found it
necessary to organize a company OF
Jewish gendarmes. Hundreds of thou
sands of pounds are sent annually
from Europe and America to enable
the colonists to build homes, hospi-
tails, schools, and invalid homes. Over
100 Jewish schools already exist in
Jerusalem alone and synagogues are
going up everywhere.
The value OF land has risen four
fold. The ignorant and poverty
stricken tellaheen are being ousted
from their homes and villages by the
sharp European Jewish settler, whose
modern agricultural implements and
methods have made the land produce
harvests never before dreamed Of by
the natives. The Anglo-Palestine
Company, Zionist banking and COM
mercial enterprise, is pushing the
cause of Israel with great determina-
ton.
The racial exclusiveness of the
Jews and their clannish proclivities
are arousing the opposition of the OF
tomans and the Turkish constitutional
regime has in this question one of the
greatest problems that a new and
patriotic Government ever faced.

LUNAcY AND MATRIMoNY.
The Latter Apparently an Antidote
for the Former In France.

Paris.-Some interesting statistics
have just been published in Paris re-
garding marriage and lunacy in
France. Why there should be any re-
levancy the French authorities do not
say.
1t appears that there are in France
29 cases of lunacy per 10000 bachelors
and 80 per 10000 spinsters, while the
rate is only 7 per 10000 married men
and 10 per 900 married women. For
widowers the rate is II and for wild
ows 18 per 10000.
These figures should not be taken
as a standard for other European
countries. In Switzerland, for in
stance, the rate of lunacy is much
lower There are only 8 lunatics
among 10000 Swiss bachelors and
only among 10000 married men,
with 13 per 10000 widowers and 81
per 10000 divorced men.
Cases of suicide in France are far
more numerous among bachelors than
among married men, and the proper
ton is double among widowers and
divorced men.

PASSING OF RoToKINo BILLY.
Famous Deeoy Sheep Of Auckland
Dies a Violent Death.

Auckland, New Zealand.-There is
sadness here because of the death OF
Rotokino Billy, the famous decoy
sheep of the Union Steamship Com
pany which shared with Pilot Tom,
the white whispering grampus which
guides vessels through Cooks Strait,
between the North and South Islands,
the protection of the Government.
Pilot Tom was not to be shot under
a penalty of $500, and it was prohibit
ed to convert Rotokino Billy into
mutton under any circumstances.
For the last ten years the sheep
had been one of the crew of the
Union Steamship Company's liner
Wanaka, between New Zealand and
Australia. Bily's duty was TO act as
a decoy in leading sheep on and of
the steamer. He was never known
70 make a mistake. and his saint-like
expression as he led his unfortunate
brethren to their doom was much
appreciated by American tourists on
the Wanaka.
On the last passage of the ship from
Wellington to Auckland Rotokino Bill
ly was knocked into one OF the coal
bunkers by a heavy sea and broke his
neck, TO the intense grief of the crew.

For Surveying Great Depths.

A new instrument for surveying
deep-bore holes contains a compass.
plummet, small cameras and electric
light, the whole connected with a
small adjustable clock. so that the
light may be turned on for a given
period after the apparatus has been
lowered into the hole. 1t has been
used in surveying a number of holes
in South Africa and has proved satis-
factory. Both dip and deviation are
recorded by means of photographs of
the positions OF both a plumb-bob and
a magnetic needle OF any desired pint
in the bore hole. The photographs are
taken by means of two small electric
lamps lighted by time contact.

Where Eleoh,nts are Stolen.

To steal an elephant would seem to
be wellnigh impossible. But the Brit
ish Consul reports that 1t is a COM
mon practice in Siam. There the huge
quadrupeds are employed in the teak
forests and frequently disappear One
British firm last year bewailed the loss
of a dozen and reported that as many
more were stolen from their contrac-
tors. Another firm lost nine. only
three of which we're recovered. AS
the average value of the elephants is
about $1,000 a head, the consul natur-
ally enlarges on the seriousness of the
matter. What is annoying about it is
that the officials are Indifferent and If
one of the missing creatures is recoy-
cred at all it is only by means Of 4
search party organized for the purpose.

being deluge OF water sweeping the

Pins" he said, 'cause unti5y

The right way to fasten things is with
buttons and buttonholes, or with loops
and frogs. To fasten things with
pins is to make use of an untidy

come lazy and slovenly.
I'VE have no pins in China. Ger

THE MIDDLE AGED MAN.
why He Thinks II Is Rheumatism
That Bothers Him and Not Gout.

That Botbers Him and Not Gout.
Can anybody tell me-" said the
middle aged man, "the difference
between rheumatism and gout?
Now, not being very well versed in
medical science, knowing very little
In fact about osteology or therapeu-
tics or anatomy, materia medica or
pharmacopoea, wouldn't undertake,
myself, offhand to say; but in a gen.
eral way would say that gout is
an ailment that attacks the rich and
rheumatism the poor; and, being
not what you would call rich man,
I suppose what I've got is rheuma-
tism.
II have read in novels and seen
pictures Of portly gentlemen of mid
die age or rather more who sat in
great easy chairs and with one foot
all swathed up in bandages stretched
out in front of them supported on a
foot rest. This is the old gentleman,
living in fine old manor house or
In splendid mansion in town. who
is described in the novel as being
testy and holeric--choleric, as | un-
derstand it. meaning not that he has
cholera or anything Of that sort but
an uneven temper; and this old gem
tleman with foot thus done up in
bandages and supported on a foot
rest has gout
But several Of my symptoms are
different. ] don't live in an old
manor house, nor in a mansion in
town; and however disposed l might
be to be testy and choleric, | have
to keep my temper, and l don't
swath my foot in bandages and re-
cline it on a foot rest. l have to
keep more or less on the move.
so l suppose that in the absence
OF the familiar gout symptoms we
might safely diagnose my case as
one of just plain rheumatism; but
l guess my rheumatism hurts me
about as much as the gout of our
testy and choleric old friend hurts
him"

Philosophy and Views
Of Mrs. T. p. O'Connor.

New York, N. VI would
rather be a successful woman
than an unsuccessful lady.
AS soon as the women of Eng
land get the ballot they will
amend the laws, and the divorce
law will be one of their first
points of attack.
There are women interested
in suffrage who put three Jumps
of sugar. in their tea and wear
satin gowns.
The modern woman breaks
conventions whenever they get
in her way or impede her pro-
gress.
Women are more earnest
about getting the ballot in Eng
land than here. They need it
more.
The ameliorating thing about
getting old is that you take an
interest in so many other people
and so little in yourself.

'In the beginning, the outside of

This crust had a great attracting
