Famous People are DOUBLES"

The American Magazine is just be-
ginning a new serial story by Mara
vene Thompson entitled "The Woman
Law" which is based on double iden-
tity, in which a mother, to save hei
child, substitutes an innocent man fol-
a murderer. The author, Mrs. Thomp-
son, has for many years been inter
ested in the subject of double identity
She has collected many interesting
facts on the subject and following is
an extract from an interview witt
her in which she relates some OF the
stories she has gathered:
"Chauncey Depew had double II
ID. j. Bates, grocer of North Scltuate
A summer resident there, friend ol
Depew's, said she never quite got ovel
the shock of seeing 'Chauncey' meas
uring out potatoes apd pickles.
"Supposing you were an unmarrle(
woman, and people were constantly
asking you How is your husband !
This was the query that Miss Ida lar
bell heard daily some years ago whii'
living in Washington. She was mis-
taken for Mrs. A. w. Greelv. wife o
the famous arctic explorer. 1t was no
enough for Miss Harbell to be postet
on the latest schedules in the tarif
and other national matters OF Whlc'
she is master, she must also know tn

One Inch of Rain

! The weekly news letter of the de-
partment of agriculture states that
on every daily weather bulletin OF
chart the amount of rainfall at varl-
Gus places during the preceding TWEEN
ty-four hours is printed in inches and
hundredths of inches. In a general
way the public understands that a
rainfall of two inches in one day is
heavy, and that one-tenth of an inch
is light, but no attempt is made to
associate the linear measurement of
the water with its equivalent in
weight or bulk. This is necessary for
a proper understanding of the actual
quantative value of the rain, and the
few figures following may prove of
assistance in making calculations:
An acre of ground contains, 43,56O
square feet. Consequently rainfall
of one inch over an acre of ground
would mean total of 43,560X144, or
6,272, $40 cubic inches Of water. This
is equivalent to 5000 cubic feet. As
cubic foot of pure water weighs
about GA pounds, the exact amount
varying slightly with the density, it
follows that the weight of uniform
coating of one inch of rain over one
acre of surface would be 3630X62.4,
226,512 pounds, or 1874 short tons.
The weight of one United States
gallon Of pure water is 8.345 pounds.
Consequently a rainfall of one inch
over one acre of ground would mean
27,143 gallons of water on the acre.
This is equivalent to SOB barrels of as
gallons each, and would be sufficient
to fill a tank or pool about 20 feet
square and 9 feet in depth. Should
a farmer desire to build cistern to
be supplied by rainwater from a roof
he can if he knows the annual rainfall
Of his locality, so construct his cistern
as to make the best possible use of the
rainfall. For instance, rainfall of
one inch on roof of 5000 square feet
capacity would mean total volume
of $4,000 cubic inches, or $50 cubic
feet, available for the cistern Gloss
from splashing, ETC., not considered).
This is equal to 1870 United States
gallons, or about 41.5 barrels of As
gallons each, enough to fill a cistern
8 feet in diameter to depth of 4,97
feet.

A Correction

In a town of such size that every
one knows every one else it is often
customary to speak of people by their
first names, even when one would not
do so to their faces. The butcher is
known as Joe Smith, the lawyer as
Will Andrews, the grocer as Frank
Parsons, and no offense is meant or
taken. One day a friend who was
helping a teacher of the industrial
school to put hats and coats on forty
little members of the kindergarten
class. Two little tow headed girls
attracted her attention, and as she
tied their hoods she asked:
care you. Charlie Porter's little
girls?" Two serious little blue eyes
looked up as the older replied:
His name was Charlie when he
was a little boy. He's Mr.. Porter

20 Sacks Sent
On One Mail

Twenty-nine sacks of parcel post
mail were shipped bg~Postmaster c..
w. Collins on one mail last night,
breaking any previous record of the
postoffice. Every one Of the many
packages mailed yesterday before the
time for closing the mails at 1880 left
on schedule, Postmaster Collins and
his assistants having worked at unusu-
ally high tension to take care of the
heavy Christmas rush.
Incoming mail, as we'll as the out
going mail, was more than double in
number of packages than any previous
Christmas rush, and this fact not only
shows the growth of Ell Centre and its
prosperity but shows the popularity
of the parcel post with the general
public.

NEW NATIONALISTS
 ARE ALASkA'S DANGER
O-tp

The one great danger to Alaska in Congress is the pressure for ultraradi- cal legislation.
 Government ownership of railroads in the Territory is today an accepted necessity by a majority in both the Senate and House. but additional prop ositions involving a venture by Uncle sam into the bushes of mining and selling coal. investing in a line of steamships and engaging in transpOr- tatiou activities in Alaskan rivers and along the Alaska coast will meet de termined and invincible opposition. Therefore the friends of Alaska who want action at Washington. and early action. are advocating nothing so far reaching and impossible of attainment They realize that the pressure of radi cal propositions would cOmplicate the situation indefinitely.
 That the administration. with the opening up of the Territory by the con struction of railroads. will at the same time safeguard fully. the public inter ests in the undeveloped coal fields is to be taken for granted
