"Store" Revelation to New SoIon

n HERE is a mistaken idea ever pres
j ent in the mind of brand-new leg
islator when he arrives at Washing
ton that all his stationery and sta
tionery supplies will be furnished free.
Hardly has he been shown through
the capitol by some older colleague
than he becomes acquainted with the
fact that down in the basement of the
big gray building there is one of the
most complete stationery stores in the
United States. He is astonished at
the cheapness Of everything and mar
vels at the fact that there he can buy
q thousand sheets of the finest linen
paper, bearing at the top in deep old
English engraved lettering the inscrip-
tion, House of Representatives,
United States, Washington" for s2.40.
He can get high grade, fine finished
cotton paper for s1.SS per thousand,
engraving included, and another grade
with handsome lithograph superscrip-
tion for 81.
Later the congressman is told the
reason for this, and along with that
information 1t is explained to him that
his stationery allowance will be s125.
The reason for the cheapness of
everything in capitol stationery head
quarters is that the stationery store
makes not a shadow Of profit.

Instead of $4,000 skins Annually Yield
In 6ehring Sea Does Not Exceed
More Than 1000.

St. Petersburg-In accepting the
American proposal to hold a seal fish
cry conference in Washington, the
Russian government appears to be ami
mated by q somewhat belated desire to
repair the mistake committed at the
Behring sea conference in not indors-
ing the 60-mile limit The result has
been that the seal rookeries in the
Commander islands are rapidly becom-
ing exhausted.
These fisheries are leased to a Rus
sian company under a contract which
expires this year. The substance of
the report drawn up by the official sent
by the government to report upon the
condition of the rookeries is as fol-
lows:
Whereas, formerly 10000 to $4,000
skins were obtained annually, the pres
ent yield does not exceed 1000. Even
this number is attained only by the
slaughter Of a fair proportion of young
females. This procedure is necessary,
since the killing off of the males is
already leading to a decline in the
number Of brood seals"

Snobbery at the Naval Academy

tic feet. She was invited to one Of
the naval academy hops several weeks
ago by a midshipman whose name has
not been disclosed by the department
She attended the dance and shortly
afterward left Annapolis for her home
in New Haven. At the time of her
departure she knew nothing Of the in.
cident in which she figured.
One of the officers on duty at An
napolis suggested to the midshipman,
on the supposition that Miss Beers
was a domestic, that she should not
have been invited by the midshipman
to the hop.
The midshipman, according to the
report received at the department, re.
piled that he disagreed personally
with the view Of his superiors at the
academy. There was, however, moth
ing that he could do under the cir.
cumstances. The inquiry developed
that Captain Bowyer was responsible
for the suggestion that Miss Beers
was not a desirable guest at academy
social events. Miss Beers returned to
her home in New Haven without
knowledge Of the rumpus that had
been stirred up in Annapolis. In some
way that is not known to the depart
ment members of her family learned
of the incident and complained to the
navy department.

three cakes Of Cuticura Soap and one

Fly Models to Assist Aviators

TAPT. JOHN M. BOWER, U. S. NJ,
~ superintendent Of the naval acad-

the secretary Of war has apologized
to Prof. Henry A. Beers Of Yale uni

made to exclude Miss Beers from So

The incident aroused a big stir in

up in the house, charging that snob-

the matter and directed Secretary

Following the battle of Houndsditch,
England has been busy finding out all
that can be learned concerning the
foreign criminals in the British Isles
and particularly in London. An easy
compilation of statistics would be that
of the foreigners in British prisons.
But apparently as near as the statisti,
clans can come to this interesting com.
putation is the consideration of the
number of foreigners given prison sen,
tence in 1909. The total is 2,617, ac.
cording to the Industrious statistics
hunter Of the Chicago Tribune, and
Americans are easily first on the list
with an aggregate of G22. America
likes to be first in most things, and
Americans abroad enjoy the pleasure
of pointing out American supremacy
whenever occasion arises. In this case,
however, the United States would glad,
ly yield the palm. Criminal pre-emi-
uenee is not a pleasing distinction. 1t
may be said, however, that only the
higher class American criminals go
abroad to conduct their operations
Probably the American jail birds in
England are the cream of the criminal
aristocracy. The poorer quality We
keep pretty well bottled up at home.
And we also have a fine large assert.

imposing as anything of which Eng
land can boast in this line.

SEAL CATCH DIMINISHING

The conclusion arrived at is that
unless some measures are taken to
put a stop to pelagio sealing 1t would
be best to kill off the whole herd.
Although pelagic sealing has dimin-
ished the stock in the Pribyloh islands,
the enforcement of the 60-miles limit
has enabled the Americans partially
to cope with the evil. The main and,
indeed, the only offenders, appear to
be the Japanese. Although Japan has
not recognized the 60-mile limit, Amer
lean gunboats police it against all
comers. In the waters around the
Commander islands Japanese poach-
ers, although frequently fired upon by
the alert guards, commit incessant dep
relations, and boldly come inshore
after fur seal and otter.
Much satisfaction is felt here over
the prospects of putting an end to this
deplorable state Of affairs. Japan sig
nifies her willingness to take part in
the impending conference if Great
Britain accepted the American invita-
ton, which has been assured, thanks
to the consent of Canada. All the in
terested powers will thus be repre-
sented.

Germany Is a growing nation. While
the population of France is at a

Gecundity, in view of the fact that the

The United States, that takes in a mil

TO TAKE PLACE OF RUBBER
Product of Soya Bean Has Same Prop
critics and Can Be Vulcanized-
High Cost Is Barrier.

Berlin.-The American consul gen
eral at Frankfort-on-Main says that,
according to a publication in that city,
a German patent has been secured for
the manufacture from the soya bean
of a product to take the place of rub
Der.
The process consists in the reduc-
ton of the oil of the soya bean to a
thick, tough liquid by the addition Of
nitric acid. After further treatment
with alkaloid solutions the mixture is
heated to 15O degrees, giving a tough
highly elastic product, similar to rub
ber, which can be vulcanized by the
same process as rubber.
Numerous attempts have been made
in the past to manufacture artificial
rubber. Processes which in the labor
atory gave excellent results have been
found impracticable on account of high
cost.
