Army of Clerks Support Washington

height OF the season is on they lend
an atmosphere Of hustling prosperity
to the town, but when the warm
months come around they leave town
with filled purses and spend their
bulky sum at the seashore and noun
tain resorts. The busy clerks stick to
their posts in all kinds of weather
and all through the year and when the
gloom settles down after the big guns
are gone the government clerk Is the
only hope Of the merchant and the
amusement managers. 1t may seem
strange. but when closely figured out
the humble government clerk is the
mainstay of our capital city.
During the long months when the
congressman and senators are enjoy
ing the Injuries of vacation the clerk
must sweat for his daily bread. Those
humid summer months Of Washington
are hard on mans nerves and dis
position and hence the physician and
lawyer are kept from the door OF pow
erty. Food, dress and amusement
must be had and this necessity pro-
vides for the well being of still an
other class. In this way the 10000
clerks keep things moving during the
dead season. II the clerks were to
follow the example Of the legislators
and go to summer resorts to rest up
for two or three months the capital
city would take on the appearance OF
a deserted village. the merchants
would be compelled to close mp shop
and grass would begin to appear be-
tween the cracks of the sidewalk.

Ancient Hebrew Chronicles Have
Been Found in Palestine by Prof.
George A. Reisner.


New York-After spending the last
six years excavating among the an
cient ruins in Egypt and Palestine,
Prof George A. Reisner. assistant
professor of Egyptology at Harvard
university, has returned to America
with his wife and little daughter.
Professor Reisner was assisted in
his work by c. S. Bishop an architect,
and Prof o. Bates. an archaeologist.
His return to New York marks the
close OF II years work In Egypt.
Last year Professor Relsner car
ried on extensive excavations among
the pyramids and was rewarded by
the discovery of nine almost perfect
examples of )statuary of the fourth
dynasty. They were portrait statues
OF King Mycernios. in whose reign
the third pyramid Of Ghiza was built.
These statues are Of alabaster and
black slate" said Professor Reisner.
"They are splendid examples of por.
trait statuary and more perfect,
should say, than great number of
modern attempts along these lines.
Four of them are at present in the
Boston museum and the remaining
five are in the museum at Cairo"

Labor Bureau Investigates Insurance

operative insurance against accidents
to workmen engaged in mining.
The forms of old age insurance now
in operation in the European countries
are classified by the commissioner OF
labor as voluntary insurance not sub
sidized by the government, voluntary
insurance receiving government subsi-
dies, compulsory insurance, and nom
contributory insurance. The invest-
cation revealed that in number OF
European countries funds are found
which provide old age pensions for I'M
ployees on the basis of contributions
from both employers and workmen.
Usually the employer requires the
workman TO join the fund, SO that as
far as the employee is concerned the
system may be regarded as compul
sorry.
The three European countries having
a national system of compulsory old
age insurance are Austria, France and
Germany. In each case the law emu.
merates the classes of persons subject
to the law. In Austria, the law in
cludes salaried persons only, though
the government is now engaged in
formulating a plan for a national sys-
TEN of insurance for workmen. In
France and Germany the law covers
nearly all the population gainfully en-
ployed who are receiving wages or sal
aries. though many Independent per-
sons Of small means are included. The
expense Of the pension In each Of the
three countries is met by payments
from the insured persons and from the

In making accurate thcrmome-
tcrs the glass tubing is first drawn
out to great lengths. These lengths
arc then cut into pieces about four
feet long, known as canes These
are carefully examined for flaws.
Not more than four or FIVE out of a
hundred of these canes are found
perfect The rest are destroyed,
and that is why thoroughly accu-
rate thermometers cost so much.

than the diameter of n hair, but it

glass rod is heated in blowpipe
and is formed by expanding the

the capacity Of the bulb Tho rule
is that the capacity Of the latter
must be 1000 times as great as that

into the tube. The operation is con-
tinucd until the tube and the bulb
are filled to the proper point Then
the tube is roastcd in hot sand to
expel every particle Of moisture.
When it has thoroughly cooled the
bulb is plunged into cracked ice to

and finally caught him. He said his
name was f. w. Smith, that he had

officers who wanted to arrest him.
They asked him whether he knew

replied that he knew John O'Flynn,
an old-timer living a few miles up
the river from Winona, and whose
place was not far away. So they
concluded to take him there. On
the way he jumped from the wagon
and again skedaddled They again
