Queer Wax Of Oregon.

Nehalem wax is the name given .
somewhat mysterious product found
on the beach near the mouth Of the
iNehalem river In Oregon.
It was observed by the early ex'
nlorers of that coast. Later consid4
cradle deposits were found In the
sand of the beach. in 1S46 several
tons of this queer, waxlike substance
were shipped to Hawaii, and since
then many tons Of 1t have been sent
to Northwe estern markets.
! Opinion is divided concerning the
nature and origin of this substance.
Some hold that 1t Is beeswax and oth'
ers contend that 1t Is a mineral sub
stance called ozocerite. 1t Is usual!
ly found In large rectangular blocks.
It has a honey-like aroma when
freshly cut. Examination made In
the laboratory Of a western univers'
ity shows that the substance closely
approaches beeswax In composition
and does not accord with the proper
ties of ozocerite.
The conclusion. oddly enough. To-
vors an Indian legend Of the wreck
of a ship at the mouth Of the Ne,
halem before the coming Of the white
men. A Spanish ship with supplies
for the Catholic missions in the north
sailed from Lower California In 1760
and was never afterward heard from.

Belief In Lucky Stones

Amulets and charms are still widely
believed in, Judging from the letters

debts are, so the letters say, cured by
the lucky stone. There are unlucky
stones, too, 1t seems. The famous
Hope diamond. which was bought by
a gem-loving American, has a reputa-
ton for bringing misfortune to its own
er. AS its most recent buyer. how
ever, gave $1SO,OO0 for it "a record
price for diamond in America), while
a few years ago 1t sold for only $780,

living down its bad reputs and living
up to the significance Of Its name.

Chance to Win Wife and Fortune.

The lottery for wife, which takes
place annually at Smolensk. has been
successful this year, all the tickets
having been bought. The promoters
OF the lottery select the young wom-
an. who has to be drawn for. She Is
then ordered to remain constantly at
home for ten days to receive the
visits of candidates for her hand. The
sale of 5000 tickets at a rouble each
ia controlled by the municipal council.
As soon as they are sold the lottery
takes place, and the winner has the
right to marry the young woman and
her fortune Of 5000 roubles, She can,
however, refuse the man who has
drawn the lucky number In this
case she has to divide her fortune
with him. Since the lotteries were es'
tablished refusals have been rare.

UNCLE SANS INSULAR POSSES.
SlONS.

Probably the average American citi-
zen is ignorant Of the fact that Uncle
Sans insular possessions number some
1000 tropical and semi-tropical islands.
These great colonial possessions are
not. as the Occidental mind is inclined
to believe, mere stretches Of sand and
palms and jungles, sparsely inhabited
by savage tribes. Some Of the islands,
It Is true, are simply coral reefs. too
small to be habitable, set in the midst
of the South Pacific. But some, on the
other hand. are giant tracts Of land.
Luzon, in the Philippines, the largest.
has an area equal to the state Of Ohio.
The total area Of the islands is about
1906 square miles, equal to New
England, New York. New Jersey.
Pennsylvania and Delaware. The pop.
ulation is about 100000. Indeed,
the islands are anything but sparsely
settled. In Porto Rico, for instance,
the population per square mile is thir-
teen times that In continental United
States, in the Philippines nearly triple.

his visits was part of his plans; sellers
of liquor, and particularly owners of
Raines law hotels, were given ample
notice to close up on time and keep
on closing up on time.
Those who thought he did not mean
business are now finding out that he
did. Because they took his inspection
trips only as being done for effect,
they obeyed the law as long as he was
here, and then went back to their old
disregard of it. Now thirty or more
are called upon to defend actions to
revoke their licenses for violating the
law in selling liquor after the legal
closing time.
Thirty places out of all the number
that violate the law would be negli-
gible were that all there was to it.
But if thirty licenses are actually re-
voked, and all the others liable to at
tack at any time, it will be an object
lesson that will be continuing club
over owners of places where the ex-
else law is treated as joke. A strict
compliance with the law may not be
procurable, but it is evident that there
is to be a nearer approach to it.
Raines law hotels are the greatest
nuisance and scandal. SO it is we'll to
attack them first. But there are sa-
looms also that need attention; and if
the commissioner wishes to know
where they are, he will not have as
great trouble in doing so as, appar-
emily, has Mayor Gaynor, who thinks,
or says he thinks, that about all the
violations of the Sunday closing law
are by Raines law hotels.-Brooklyn

Unitarian Church on the Traffic

We wish to call the attention of the
ministers and members of our Ameri-
can Unitarian churches to the i'm
portance of the drink problem 1t
deserves more serious consideration
than it is at present receiving among
us. The drink habit may not be the
root of all other evils, but it aggra-
Yates every one of them. 1t predis-
poses to disease and it makes recovery
less rapid and less probable, it de-
creases the industrial and intellectual
efficiency of the nation 1t increases
accidents and makes the risks of life
greater. 1t places enormous burdens
upon the home the state, the church.
1t multiplies the number of defective
children; it cuts short the education
of thousands of young people; it con-
signs numberless women to hard labor
and miserable lives. 1t floods courts
with criminals; it crowds almshouses
with paupers; it sends thousands to
asylums. 1t instigates large part of
sexual immortality. 1t puts a blight
upon numberless neighborhoods. The
liquor powers enter political affairs
with a malign influence; it lays a cor
rupting hand upon lawmakers, while
it produces innumerable 1awbreakers.
1t increases the financial burdens of
every taxpayer and it brings sorrow
to the heart of every Christian From

THE WORLD ARENA

According to the latest report of
the Royal Army Temperance Associa-
ton, England there are now en-
rolled 67,433 members, of whom 49,
4o5 serve in the Indian army.
The fifty-sixty annual report of the
United Kingdom Band of Hope Union
gives an estimated membership of s.
6S5,3o8 in 32,o42 societies as the total
strength of the juvenile temperance
movement. The Union has 388 local
unions, and through these a campaign
for million more members is to be
organized in the coming autumn.
The temperance forces in Great
Britain are being strengthened by the
w leyan young Abstainers'
League" which makes provision for a
''folow-up" system to the Bands of
Hope, representing the total absti-
nence movement among the children.
The genius of its helpfu1ness turns
upon an annual approach to every
member. This, in the case of one
who has fallen, has given an oppor-
tunity for renewal, and a chance to
begin again. The movement is MAX
ing great Roadway in the large cities,
and promises to produce a marked
change for the better in the morals of
young England"
The mayors of Rine de Gier and
Firminy, France, have made a new
departure in the campaign against al
coholism. They have issued an order
prohibiting the opening of fresh
liquor shops within a distance of 200
yards as the crow flies from ceme-
teries, places of worship, primary
schools, and hospitals.
