To begin with. like all TibetanS they

are also infested with vermin, which
they may not even destroy. because to
kill even the humblest of animals is
contrary to the teachings of the Buddhist
religion. The wonderful learning OF the
Buddhist lama is also said TO be largely
a product OF Western imagination. The
worship consists largely in noisy incan-
tations, in the process of which guns are
sometimes fired. bells ring, and horns
give forth deafening blasts.
Huge bontires are an accepted means
of warding OF the demons of famine,
pestilence. and war. The religion OF the
TIbetan is largely a system OF devil
worship, to propitiate and ward on wick
ed spirits. Prayer wheels and heaps of

Everybody's Land.

From the New York Sun.
Spitzbergen has always been mo Mans
land" Its political status has at length
been fixed in the most general terms, for
hereafter 1t is to be the land of every
nation that is sufficiently interested to
contribute a small assessment for the
maintenance OF some semblance of law
and order there.
This is the outcome OF the series Of
conferences between Russia, Sweden,
and Norway that has dragged along for
several years. The three nations based
their claims to the archipelago upon the
exploratory work they had done. Moth
ing came Of all their talk. Having fully
agreed to disagree, they have met again
at Christiana and evolved a remarkable
compromise. They have signed a con-
vention under which Spitzbergen Is to be
a neutral country open to all nations,
with a government administered by
joint board composed OF one representa-
tive of each OF the contracting powers.
The board will levy such taxes as are
permitted by the interested governments.

How do you prevent smuggling across

Smuggling from Canada and Mexico
in a small way is unpreventable unless
we had line Of men standing shoulder

smoking is prohibited from entering the
United States. yet quantities of It are

How Opium Is Brought In.
Sharp men in our service go through
every vessel that reaches San Francisco
from the Orient. They have found cans
Of opium floating in fresh water tanks,
hidden in pipes. which seemed to be a
part of the equipment Of the ship and

Seattle shipped opium in a safe by ex-

SCIENCE AND THE HAIR.
From the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American
It has too long been the custom TO rel
egate those arts which deal with the
care OF the outer aspect OF humanity
to the hands Of the emplricist. the quack
and the charlatan as unworthy OF the
attention Of dignihed medical men.
There have been signs @ late years,
however, Of q gratifying change in this
respect Already the care of the teeth
has been elevated into a vitality ippor-
tant branch of surgical science, aid II
is more and more being recognized that
the skin and hair are equally worthy
of hygienIc care in health Of skilled
treatment in disease, and OF tudicious
measures for their maintenance in as
good condition as possible throughout
life
Even a mans chance OF earning a liv-
ing wage and thereby retaining his own
self-respect and avoiding the misfortune
OF becoming a burden upon society may
depend. as George Bernard Shaw have
wittily pointed out. on SO seemingly
trivial a thing as a bottle OF hair dye!
No one, in fact. who reads the want
columns of q great newspaper can fail
to be impressed by the fact that per-
sonal appearance is a tremendously i'm
portant factor In the business world, as
well as the social world.
Moreover. modern physicians are be-
ginning to lay stress on the fact that
the hygienic care OF skin. hair. ears.
eyes mouth, &C. may enter very Sc
riously into the question OF the cure or
the aggravation Of incipient morbid con-
dltions such as neuralgia, rhinitis. otites,
and other rheumatic or nervous affec-
tlon4.
This is the view advanced by a French
physician, DR.. Guelpa. who has Just
published a book on the care OF the
hair. An article by DR.. Guelpa on this
subject recently appeared in ia Revue,
OF Paris.
DR.. Guelpa calls attention TO certain
obvious aspects OF the matter such as
that both badness and grayness begin
much earlier in men than in women,
that badness nearly always starts at
the temples and at the crown OF the
head. that the hair begins TO turn gray
first at the temples and usually sooner
than the beard. and TO what he terms
the amusing observation that work
men and peasants become bald less
often and less rapidly than members of
the leisure classes. or than BARRIERS and
hair dressers themselves" And why is
is he asks. that doctors who spe-
cialiZe on affections OF the scalp are
precisely those who generally lose their
hair most quickly?''
He finds the answer in the sweeping
conclusion that modern hygiene Of the
hair is erroneous and anti-scIentifc
The reasons he advances for this state
ment are well considered and Convinc-
ing. He begins by declaring that the
shampooings, frict!ons. and manipula-
tions commonly employed by BARRIERS
constitute A perpetual attack on the
very life Of the hair. and proceeds to-
demonstrate this by a brief exposition
of the anatomy and histo-physiology OF
the scalp.

as 80 per cent We are supposed to
figure the tax according to the face OF
the bill. The bill that Is actually to be
paid, remember. is sent the merchant
by mail. Honest importers cannot COM
pete with smugglers and they are help

Frauds in undervaluatioDs have been
particularly numerous with invisible hair

Innings linens from Ireland and Scot
land. cutlery made In Germany, linoleum.
musical instruments, and machinery for

Classifying goods wrongly is another
common swindle on the government.
shipment Of German raZOrs. for example,
is received in New York. The tariff
on razors goes upward, according to their
price. Those valued at less than 81
dozen pay 35 per cent duty: those valued
at 81 and less than $l5O pay IS per cent
and cents each additional, and SO on
through the grades to the highest.
change OF classification in the two cheap
est kinds OF razors would mean about
s.. . a dozen to the crooked importer.
With that advantage. don't you see. he
could Outsell his square-dealing COM
petitor.
Foreigners Help the Smugglers.
About $4,000 was collected last year
from tricky importers Of woolens. They
were cutting prices. and other dealers
surmised that they had practiced some
deception on the government. Foreign
manufacturers, OF course. are always
parties to schemes OF differentiation and
false classification. They want to do
business in this country. and are hostile
to any law that hinders them from en-
tering or shuts them out Of our market.
II is a common experience among indi-
vidual buyers or tourists to have a mer-
chant in Europe say: The price of that
article is 800 in your money, but l can
bill 1t to you for $50 and thus you will
need to pay only half the regular Ameri-
can duty A great many OF our people,
am proud to remark, refuse TO cheat
their own government, and promptly
send US tine names Of the shopkeepers
who suggest that they shall. The names
are written on our suspect list. and
goods from those dealers are closely
scrutiniZed thereafter.

II can remember very we'll, when I
was boy. that rubber shoes weighed
about a pound apiece. The soles OF them
were an inch thick. and, IL they were
put away in a closet and hot weather
came on. they were liable to melt and
run all over the place. 1t was much
the same way with anything else that
was made out Of rubber in those days.
TipA value of the stuff for certain pur-
poses was recognized. but its sickness
made it almost impossible.
Along about that time, however, there
was a clever and ingenious person named
Charles Goodyear, who made up his mind
TO solve the problem. His is the typical
story of a luckless inventor. While his
wife and children went hungry, he de-
voted his time TO pursuing what other
people regarded as an ignis fatUus. He
spent nearly a quarter of his life in a
debtors prison. But finally he hit upon
the solution, which was that the sticki-
ness OF rubber could be removed by mix
ing sulphur with it at high heat.
This is the process known to-day as
'v.ulcanizing,' out of which others have
made many millions OF dollars. But the
discovery never did the inventor any
good. Worn out by the. distresses he
was obliged to undergo. he turned his
face to the wall on his death-bed, and
said: L die happy. others can get rich
Thus it comes about that, thanks to
Goodyear. rubber has made for itself
most important place in our modern
civilization. being utilized for an i'm
mense variety of purposes, including
waterproof coats, billiard table cushions,
betting for machine shops, suspenders,
mats. washers for water pipes, elastic
bands, garters. hot water bags, ink and

and even horseshoes and the gums Of
