The monarch aims at nothing less than the elimination of all Latin phraseology from scientific nomenclature and the sub stitution therefore of German words. If the Kaiser is successful it will mean the complete rewriting of all scientific works in German. The present Latin forms are comparatively simple and easily under stood. For instance. the term 'fraktion- ierte distillation" (fractional distillation) as it now appears in German, would be- come "bruchstuckweise fiussige Verdam- ngsstoffaufsaugung gu verschedenen Warmestarken.

ployment supposedly provides better con ditions for physical fitness in the mili- tary sense, yet in consequence of the underfeeding that is characteristic of rural life there is to be noticed every year steady decrease in the military fitness of recruits from the outlying dis tricts'
 He attributed this to the tendency of the rural population to sell their produce instead of using it for their own nourish- ment and to buy instead cheap, inferior foodstuffs. He also asserted that there was growing disinclination for physi- cal exertion as shown by the fact that Germany imports S500GO laborers for the harvest every year, although, he added,
 every year we also hear complaints of unemployment from the big towns''
 Count Posadowsky's remarks are hard " likely to enhance his reputation for sagacity as an economist It is true that the country laborer is underfed and has a poor physique. but it is economic ne- cessity which forces him to sell his pro- duce in the towns and buy cheaper and inferior goods for his own consumption Harvest laborers are brought in simply because there is a lack of labor in the villages, and because even the unem- ployed in the cities would not tolerate the conditions of employment
 
 The conditions of housing in the Ger man cities may be vividly illustrated by quotation. from official reports For ex- ample, of Berlin's 50o,o0o dwellings in 1905, 5o,0op had only one room provided with stove and roughly. one-seventl1 were not even provided with a kitchen Seven per cent of all the dwellings of Berlin are overcrowded, and IA per cent of the poorer class live in unhealthy and unsanitary conditions. Poor families strive to reduce expenditures by crowd ing into dwellings too small to hold them. and ever then, take lodgers and let beds by the night. The birth of children is regarded in these dwellings as a curse. and immortality is an inevitable result of the overcrowding
 Count Posadowsky suggested legislation strictly controlling housing conditions to- gether with the erection of healthy small dwellings, as a cure for the evil

NO TOOTHPICKS
 ON ORIENT EXPRESS

Paris, July 1.-(Special)-An Eng lishman recently returned from Vienna Is telling an amusing incident which occurred in the Orient express during the journey. One of the passengers called for toothpick after dinner The waiter disappeared to fetch 1t, but did not return. The diner became impa- tient, hammered his glass on the table shouted for the waiter, and when al length he came, demanded toothpicks S The waiter gave this explanations
 You see" he said, we walters have to supply the toothpiclSs. The German customs exact duty upon toothpicks, SC when we reach the German frontier we always leave our toothpicks there, and pick them up again on our way back.
 So there are no toothpicks upon the Orient express during its passage through the Kaiser's empire.

FINE CROP OUTLOOK
By PRESTON C. ADAMS

New York. July 1.--(special.) l.)-What are the legitimate grounds for the unques- ftioned optimism in the world of business? !? asked this question the other day of a man of large affairs. who is in close touch with financial and business affairs, and who is himself bouyant optimist.
 His answer is worth consideration. There are at least a score of reasons" he said, "why we may expect big, healthy business Tn the fall. Here are a few of them: Unless all signs fail we will have bumper cotton and grain crops and they will sell perhaps at somewhat lower prices than have been prevailing but still at rates which will give the pro- duoer a good profit. There we have half billion dollar trade balance In our favor which gives us a power over the worlds gold supply and will prevent disastrous money stringency in this country. There is little fear of this, however, in any event for money is plenty and cheap in all the worlds financial markets, and this itself is a powerful factor for good trade.
 '~rhe low stocks of staple merchandise means activity among the manufacturers and an increase in the consaniption ca- pacity of the working masses. The rail roads are showing increased savings and these will be increased as the crops De- gin to move.
 'The metal markets. steel and copper particularly, are in better shape than they have been for some time and there is no reason to believe they will not continue to improve. I might go on and give fur ther reasons for the faith that is in me, but it would merely be cumulative.
 .Yes, sir, I believe business is going to be fine in the fall and the whole country will be prosperous"

Will Bottle Ii Here on the Spot

Among the other advantages coming with that first boat besides green onions is said to be a bottling plant which is being brought down by Jack Keenan, formerly connected with the bottling plant at Fairbanks.
 This plant will be able to fix up those funny drinks that look like circus lemon tde and taste like anything from strawberry to mixed paint. It will also charge the sizzy siphon without which there is no true fizz.
 Keenan will locate his plant in this city and will send out charged water to all the drink emporiums here and on the creeks besides making blueberry wine which is good for chaser.
