How Hindus Obtain Fire.

Fire is obtained for the important
Hindu ceremony Yanga by curious
method, says writer in the Strand
Magazine, matches not being consid-
cred holy. The priest holding the two
ends of piece of cord coiled around
& vertical rod, the lower end of which
f1ts into a groove cut in the block of
wood on which the rod rests, by a
churning motion causes it to rotate
very rapidly, it being meanwhile kept
in position by means of horizontal
handle with hole in which the rod
turns. The friction between the rod
and the lower block Of wood after
short time sets fire to the latter. This
fire, by timely nourishment. is devel-
oped into glorious flame. The in
strument is considered very sacred by
tina orthodox Hindus. They, OF

That's nearly as bad as my case.
Several months ago representatives of

The Fixed Size of Bricks,

If bricks were made larger, it would

convenience. In England when bricks
were first made and up to sixty or sew.
enty years ago, there was a tax on
bricks. and, IN order to evade it, the
bricks were made of larger and larger
sizes. These were used for cellars
and other concealed places, TO stop
this fraud, an act was passed in che
reign of George ILL.,, fixing the legal
size of bricks. Early in Queen Vic.
toria's reign the tax was taken off, and
bricks may now be legally made of any
size whatever. But any change from
the standard size would bring about
great inconvenience. All calculations

building acts have practically fixed it,

Greece Trembles Under War Clouds
Dread of Turkish Invasion the Su-
pneme Sentiment Among Hellcnes
Help From American Greeks.
BY WILLIAM r. ELLIS.

Athens.-"If war does not come
within six weeks, it probably will not
come for six months, because of the
difficulty of moving troops in winter.
I expect it to come by the I'M
announced invasion of Thessaly by
Turkish troops" u.
That is the essence of report that
may be found in the secret archives
of at least two governments. More
over, have it upon the highest ALL
thority that a recent dossier contains
not only the foregoing alarming state
ment, but also the substance of the
terms which Turkey will exact
namely huge indemnity, the cession
of large part of Thessaly, and the
disarmament and naturalization of
Greece by the powers. At the same
time, Crete will be given up by Tur-
key, for the turbulent island is only
an apple of discord, of which the Of
toman empire will be glad to be rid,
when It can do SO gracefully.
AS to the outcome of this inevitable
war, the opinion of one diplomat with
whom talked is that "Turkish troops
will be in Athens in just the time that
it takes them to march from the from
tier.'

Russia will throw this force against

This will be not because she loves
Greece more, but because she loves
Turkey less, and Turkeys new ally
and controlling genius, Germany. The
new alignment of forces created by
the Roumanian-Turco agreement, with
the understanding" that is now be-
lieved to exist between Germany,
Austria and Turkey, has changed the
situation in the Balkans. At present
It stands as I have portrayed it.
Great Britain, once tho first factor 20

fluence until she is scarcely reckoned

the past year in Great Britain has
produced a situation in these parts
which neither Britishers nor Ameri-
cans view with satisfaction.

illustration of his main thesis in
Greece. OF all living nations except
China and Japan, Greece is the Oldest.

owes more to Greece than to any 9TH

every schoolboy. Monuments of her

and Constantinople Is the contrast be-
tween Europe and Asia. Here is or

is helter-skelter clutteration, dirt and

familiar urban customs. and the gen

Americas Influence Upon Greece.
The new life Of the west has per-
meated this old nation. There is a
constant interflow Of thought between
Greece and Britain and America.
Three million dollars are sent here
annually by Greeks in the United
States. Last year, from only one
American consular district In this
country, the number of emigrants to
the United States amounted to one
per cent of the entire population of
all of Greece.
OF course, this is serious drain
upon the vital power of the nation.
But the Greeks abroad send and bring
back modern ideas. The labor union
is flourishing. l saw it work on a
Russian steamer in the harbor. The
Russian officer in charge of the load
ing of the cargo flew into a passion
at one Of the hands, because the lat
ter could not understand Russian. He
ordered the interpreter to discharge
him, whereupon all the stevedores left
the ship within five minutes. The
poverty of the country is being amel-
iorated. and compulsory education is
general everywhere, although far too
large a proportion of the curricula is
devoted to Ancient Greece.
This influence of the Greece of
twenty-five centuries ago is at once a
pernicious and a noble force in the
life of the nation. Everybody is post

TAXATION IN MINNESOTA
THE FOLLOWING IS ONE OF SERIES OF ARTICLES PUBLISHED
BY REQUEST OF THE MINNESOTA TAX COMMISSION
CRITICISM OR SUGGESTION IS CORDIALLY INVITED
Twenty fifth Article)
Equalization by the Tax Commission

After the county board of equal
ization has completed its work the
county auditor prepares an abstract
of assessment of property in each
of the towns, villages and cities of
the county, showing, in separate
columns the assessed value of land,
the assessed value of structures and
improvements thereon, and the
assessed value of each class of per-
sonal property. This abstract is
forwarded to the tax commission
on or before the fourth Monday in
August.
Prior to 1909 the final equaliza-
ton of assessed values was vested
in a state board of equalization
consisting of the governor, the
state auditor. the attorney general,
and one member from each judicial
district of the state. This board
was abolished in January, 1901, by
act of the legislature, and the
duties and powers vested in it were
transferred to the tax commission.
At the outset of its work as a
state board of equalization the tax
commission decided to get away as
far as possible from the arbitrary
method of determining values that
had heretofore been followed, es-
pecially in relation to real estate,
and to substitute some method that
would afford uniform measure OF
value for all the counties of the
state.
| After a careful study of all
known methods it was concluded
that, all things considered, the So
called sales method" afforded the
most reliable measure of TRUE values
that could be devised. This plan
commended itself to the commission
not only because of its apparent
intrinsic value, but more especially
because it was not an untried ex.
pertinent. It had been used in
Wisconsin and in some taxing
districts of other states with very
satisfactory results.
Briefly stated, the sales
method" consists in obtaining
