WESTERN MINING DISTRICTS.

The Uniter States west of the 1o3d meridian comprising
the Rocky Mountain plateau desert and Sierra Nevada regions

metals in the world In this many mining region,
camps which are known mining districts In most
the states the boundaries of these districts well recognized
and of them legally recorded nearly all can be
plotted state maps with fair degree of accuracy In the
Mother Lode country of California however, there are no min
ing districts in the that the is used in the other
states.
The output of the mines in the United States is reported
yearly to the division Of mineral Of the United ates
Geological Survey and by study Of the district reports

duced in each district be fairly we'll determined In
districts notably those in Colorado the values Of several pro-
ducts nearly equal but in most Of the districts the output
of one metal has greater value than that of the rest
The United States Geological Survey has published re-

Its annual volume Mineral Resources Of the United States

The Thermometer OF
PATRIOTISM
By DR.. Frank Crane

Patriotism is a long, wide word.
Under 1t is deep cellar.
Just what sort Of thing your
patriotism Is you may ascertain by
using this Thermometer.
The lowest degree to which a cit
izen may sink is not to become a
bank robber or cutthroat or white
slave dealer; in business he only
wrongs the individual number Of
others; but 1t is TO become a graft
or. for the CRATER attacks the very
life OF society itself. he lets the
blood OF the whole people. The trust
magnate who ccrrupts a legislature
or influences a judge, tho political
loss who operates q machine for con-
trolling votes in the interest Of his
pocket. the merchant who pays a
political agent u lobby for his ad-
vantage, the city administration that
permits vice TO contribute hush
money to the police. all these are as
far down in the scale of citizenship
as II is possible to go. They are
worse than thug. fallen women, dive
keepers, and bomb throwers, because
they mako and feed such. The man
higher up is In reality the man

have done it by following carefully
these directions:
First and foremost, fix this thought
clearly In your mind: The water will
bear you up. 1t is fear and struggle
that invariably send a person to the
bottom. The best way to acquire
confidence that makes for courage
and fun is: Go squarely and reason
ably at it. Begin in still water; the
old swimming pool on the farm is
! just the place. Wade out until your
shoulders are covered, squat a little
and get yourself wet all over. Don't
be the least atom afraid even II y
little watcr does get into your nose
and ears; wade out little further
until you are up 10 your chin. and
now your toes will begin to leave the
bottom Of the pool. Do not be alarm
ed. This shows you that you are a
little lighter than tho water. Now
lift your Ghost and with the muscles
OF your stomach breath deep, stretch
your arms out to form the letter T
Of yourself. stiffen your backbone
and hollow your back as though sud
denly you were very important and
dignified person. Your toes have
come up to the surface now. Lean
your head back freely as far as you
can. keeping your mouth shut. Lie
back with absolute confidence, and
there you arc floating. Keep your
backbone stiff. gently paddle with
your hands. and you are swimming.
Make toward the shore. Of course.
Then try it all over again. This time
kick with your feet very gently;
strong strokes might turn you over
and brighten you. Keep your balance
and practice two or three times In
straight succession.
The next thing that you will
be learning is the "V" stroke. Kick
out until both legs are like the let
ter V. shut them together like the
blades OF a pair of scissors (Which
gives a strong drive ahead, then
draw them up sidewise like a frog
and kick persistently out again. Then
Try making your legs go as II you
we're climbing UP stairs. Always rem
ember the water will bear you up
and the great and only difficulty
about swimming will be out of your
way-The Christian Herald.

MAKEUP OF NEW ALPHABET
Chinese Scholars Devise List Of Forty.
Two Letters Drawn From Dr.
ferent Languages.

Reform is In the air in China. The
young Chinse. educated In the univer.
stiles OF America or Europe. are no
onger content with the characters In
which their language has been written
Tor thousands Of years. each character
representing an idea-not a woodland
there being about $4,000 OF these.
They are trying now to abolish these
characters and to replace them with
letters that will represent sounds.
No other single language could offer
them a suitable alpha bet, for there are
sounds In their tongue which exist in
no other.
Chow III Chu. secretary Of the
Chinese legation In Rome. has been
devoting his time recently to making
up an alphabet suitable for Chinese.
He has been assisted by Messrs Wan
and Chou. ubsecretaries. and signor
Rivetta di Solonghello, professor OF
japanese and Chinese at the Oriental
Institute OF Naples. one OF the great
est polyglots In the world
The latter gives this description OF
the alphabet that has resulted from
their labors:
ITO represent exactly all the sounds
OF the Chinese language" said he. I'VE
have had to draw upon almost all ex-
listing alphabets. The alphabet we
have composed consists OF az charac-
tiers. Of which % are vowels and 10
are consonants.
"Of the novels. four are taken from
the Greek. four from the Russian, five
from the Latin. one from the Chinese;
OF the nine others. two are what we
call modified or prolonged and sew
en- are reversed.
"Of the consonants. II are taken
from the Latin. three from the Rus
sian and two from he Greek"
With these letters It Is possible to
write exactly all the words OF the
spoken Chinese language that Is un.
derstood from one end Of the new re-
public TO the other.

I Already many thousands OF dollars
have been expended in monuments to
Lincoln. and the sculptors and marble
men have had their share Of IT, why
not give labor and the public a whack
at the money!
"A great highway Is always q good
thing. II will give employment to
hundreds Of men. Their feed viii give
business to many dealers. The right
Of way money will benefit many people
along the line. Then there will be the
engineers and superintendent and all
these incidentals The cost will be i'm
mense. and II will be scattered along
the lines, altogether different from the
statue money. That Is good.
"For generations the great highways
will benefit the general public as only
q good road can benefit True. all the
nation cannot be directly benefited
Neither can all the nation see a monu-
ment or other public work.
ut rather strikes us that a great
highway as public monument is
about the best idea sprung recently.
After we get one we may get more.
alabama is interested In highways
right now. and she may dedicate them
TO her famous sons as monuments
one to King, one to Dixon Lewis, one
to Campbell. one to Powell. one to
Yancey. one to billiard. one to Clan
ton. many to the Confederate heroes,
many to her other famous sous"
Last May the Daughters Of 1912
were invited by the national good
roads congress to submit any resolu-
tons they wished before that body.
They offered their resolutions and gave
their plan and purpose Of the Jackson
highway and invited other patriotic
societies to Join In with them In me
moriallzlng any spot or link along the
route that belonged to that period Of
history. Our plan was unanimously
Endorsed. and we were so encouraged
that we started Immediately on our
campaign Of creating an interest all
along the line. and we have been most
successful.
Much of the highway is already built
There are many miles Of good roads.
In fact. you can go all the way from
indianapolis to Chicago spinning in
an automobile. The old Louisville and
Nashville pike has been given as link
by Mr.. ii. A. Somers. chairman Of the
Lincoln way. and this has been indoors
ed by Louisville's mayor and CONNER
cial club. The pike from Louisville to
Elizabeth. Lincoln's home, is to be
called the Lincoln way. That is just
as we asked. so 1t is a link in the Jack
son highway. II the people between Mo
bile and Montgomery wish to name
certain spot or link for Father Ryan
Or Admiral Semmes we would not OBJ
ject. so 1t is a link In the Jackson
highway. The main work of our COM
mittee is to arouse sentiment and to

teal and sensible. county to county,

OUR TEACHERS DEPARTMENT
Edited by Prof Charles ID. Lewis

/ But there is another kind Of man
who may be elected, and he will
make more OF an effort, in most
easel, than the man OF the first
type. Let me describe him.
He knows little and cares less for
good teacher and a good school.
lie does not care to educate his own
family or the family Of his neighbors
He is willing for the children to sit
In dirt and play in the brush. lie
has no sympathy for new laws, and
will not help enforce them. IL the
law demands IL he will visit the
school, but with no good results to
teacher or district.
Why does such a man seek the
office? Many Of those who read this
can answer the question, but that
all may see 1t in black and white, J
will answer II here:
He has a relative or a friend who
wants the school. It may be, or he
thinks that he can get the teacher
to board with him or otherwise get
a personal reward for giving out the
school," or he may hope to get an
influence through the district or
county board which will be of some
selfish advantage.
] blush to write the above, but Il
is true OF districts in every county
Of our state.
There is still q greater shame 10
record, however, than the one given:
There are teachers. yong men and
young women, who hold the States
commission to teach who have great
share in fitting or spelling our chill.
dren for citizenship, for life, and
for eternity, who use all kinds Of
methods to get into office this false
trustee who will for some of the
reasons given employ them TO
teach"
II is painful to say this, but we
cannot cure serious disorders without
severe methods.
Rouse you, teachers, parents, citi-
zens. Take away from our schools
the curse Of that false trustee, and
give them the blessing Of the true.
You can If you will, and do it On

CAUSE OF CRIME AND MISERY
More Wickedness Attributable TO

By REV. JESSE HILL. Portland. Mel
There are three decisions OF the

We need to keep with us.

Then come the entirely Indifferent.
They have nothing to do with poll
tice except as their business is touch
ed or their peace disturbed.
The law-abiding are little higher
up. They will servo on a jury or In
the militia. They do not graft nor
favor political corruption.
A little better still is the party man
who is interested in public affairs,
and takes his place in a political
organization as the best means for
securing results. He votes with his
party, right or wrong.
The intelligently philosophical
man is as conscientious with his par
ty as with his church. He will fol-
low it when he thinks 1t right. and
rebel when 1t seems wrong. He Is
sometimes called an insurgcnt or
mugwump. He is the Protestant in
politics; a good, healthy. wholesome
trouble maker who does much toward
keeping political parties reasonably
decent.
The highest grade of a patriot Is
the man we call The reformer. We
heave bricks at him living and build
monuments to him dead. OF SUCH
were John Brown, Wendell Phillips.
Henry George, Richard Golden. and
Oliver Cromwell. The reformer Is
hot afraid to be in advance of pub
lie opinion. to champion an unpopu-
lar cause, to be il the minority. To
be defeated, despised and neglected.
Reformers may be pig-headed. some
OF them are egotistical. some are
meddlesome. scmo enjoy tumult, and
like the Irishman. "a-e never at
peace unless they are in a fight"
but they represent the highest pitch
to which patriotism can rise. for they
care not for place. emolument. nor
life itself, but only fcl the conviction
that has gripped them.
