FEW VIOLATIONS OF GAME
 LAW ON YUKON RIVER

After an months trip along
 the Yukon and Tanana rivers, Game Warden R. s. Mcdonald returned to town on the steam
 CT Alaska, which reached town Monday evening, and in speak ink of his trip stated that every thing was quiet and peaceable in all the places that he visited. There were practically no viola tons of the game law, except among the natives. who had killed a few beaver. Accor- ding to the claim of the natives, they killed the animals for food as they had no grub and it was too early to do any fish ing. Although the killing of
 fur bearing animals comes di- rectly under the fur warden
 and not under the game war den, Mr. Mcdonald took no action i'll the matter except to report conditions as he found
 them. On the trip, the game warden went as far as Fort Yukon, and from there floated
 downstream, stopping at many places along the stream. Bus
 mess along the rivers, accord
 ing to his report,is very quiet
 at the present time but in the
 greater part of the places vis-
 tied a good season was antlcl-
 pated by all.-F airbanks Times

THE sHoRrcAkE

Aunt Julia knows just what will please the masculine gal loot, and from the tall straw berry trees she plucks the crimson fruit. Then in the kitchen she proceeds to mix some kind of dough, that will supply all human needs and banish grief and woe. Her formula? 1 kaow it not-she keeps it meath her tile; but .oh, her shortcake, steaming hot, would make a Timon smile! She dishes up gor- geous lump, a chunk the gods might eat, with cream that never knew pump, and sugar that is sweet. At restaurants and big hotels much shortcake have I bought, and drearily the men'ry dwells within my dome of thought; they use one berry to a cake-which berry is a scream-and it goes swimming in a lake of blue and ghastly cream. Go, tour the world from Nome to Rome. no short cakes will you find; such things are only made at home, by aunts of earnest mind. Not all the skill of learned savants who cook for queens and kings. can take the laurels from our aunts in berry time, by jings.-WaIt Mason.

RULE OF THE GLOVE.
Queer Custom of Suspendins the Law
 In an English Town.

By reason of a curious custom the people of the old town of Honiton, in Devonshire. England. are exempt from arrest from dawn to sunset of certain day of the year. It is while the horse fair there is in progress that the law is thus suspended for awhile The custom is survival of quaint and pictur- esque ceremonial dating from the days of King Henry III.
 At the beginning of the fair the town crier. in the gorgeous dress of beadle of the old days, appears upon the scene with pole to the end of which is at tached a large gilt glove deeked with flowers. Having rung his handbell three times, the crier announces:
 "Oyez, oyez, oyez. The fair Is begun The glove is up; no man may be ar rested until the glove is down. God save the king!"
 Each sentence Is chorused by the children standing round. and at the conclusion they scramble for nuts. The glove is taken down at sunset.-St Louis Republic.

SOLAR ENERGY.
Its Constant Radiation Is Lessening
 the Mass of Our Sun.

Ito constant ndOtdtIoi 10
 the Mass of Our Sun.
 The work of Einstein on the principle of relativity shows that body which radiates energy loses a portion of it's mass depending on the energy rad1at- ed. It follows that the sun. which continually radiates energy, is con- stantly losing mass. NJ. J. Bosler has calculated that the sun loses mass equal to that of our earth in 30,O0O,OOO years.
 If it be assumed that the mass thus lost is gravitational mass it follows that the length of the year increases by six seconds in 100000 years and that in the same time the mean Iongi- tude of the earth is affected in such way as to produce variation of one tenth of a year-that is. retardation of thirty six days in the seasons.
 Such variations are too minute to be observable. In stellar systems pos- sessing a higher temperature the ef- feet would be much more marked, for the energy radiated by body varies as the fourth power of its absolute temperature.
 If, as NJ. Workman believes, there exist stars having a temperature six or seven times that of our sun their radiation is one or two thousand times , as intense. Thus. if the temperature of Algol is 13.S00 degrees, 1t is calcu- lated that at the end of 2,000 years the eclipses of Algol suffer a retardation of about twelve minutes.-Boston Her. 1 ald

The rural population is more VIII
| ing to support better schools today
than at any previous time u IL be-
ing realized that all educational ao-
tivities or agencies must be more or
less correlated. and. more than all
else. that they must be made accessi-
BILE to the children In many coun-
ties where bad roads prevail. most Of
the schools are Of the antiquated one
room variety. They are usually To-
Gated along bad roads which, during
the winter, when the schools are
usually In session, become so nearly
impossible as to make II dificult for
the children to reach them. This con-
dition causes irregular attendance
and restricts the educational oppor-
tunities Of the child. Not only this.
but It often impedes the economic
consolidation OF these smaller schools
into larger. stronger graded schools,
with high school courses, directed by
competent principal and corps of
teachers. according to the once OF
public roads, U. s. department of agri-
culture.
On the other hand, in counties
which have improved their roads, the
schools are easily reached, the aver
age attendance greater, the efficiency
largely increased and enonomic con-
solidation made possible Regular at
tendance at school means consistent
and regular growth Of both school and
pupil, and consolidation Of schools
means a maximum of efficiency at a
minimum of cost II is also note
worthy that there is marked ten
dency for the consolidated school to
become the social and intellectual
center OF the community. Most mod
ern rural schoolhouses are 80 con-
structed as to serve the community as
gathering places for various kinds Of
public meetings. and where vans are
used to convey the children to school
during the day they are frequently
pressed into service to haul the farm
ers and their wives to institute work,
lectures or entertainments at the
schoolhouse. The consolidated school
becomes a sort OF community center
to which all educational and social ac-
tivities converge, and In order that
1t may properly perform that function
all of the highways leading to 1t
should be so improved as to render II
readily accessible throughout the
year.

LIGHT FOR UNCLE SAM.

Early beginning of construction
upon the mammoth heat, light and
power plant to supply the govern
ment department buildings in this
city was assured when Byron
r, Newton, assistant secretary of
the treasury, designated L. B
Stilwell. consulting engineer OF New
York city, as an expert to CO.
operate with the engineering force of
the supervising architects ofice In
the treasury department.
This is the first step by the govern
ment to bring about complete control
Of the heat, light and power service
for the local departments, and the
treasury department expressed a de-
sire to rush the project forward as
rapidly as possible.
The central works is to be located
on the river front facing Potomac
park. at Water street, between Thir-
teenth and Thirteen-and-a-Half streets
southwest. The sundry civil bill in
congress appropriated $1.494,104 for
plant. The land upon which 1t will
be built is owned by the government.
The plant will not occupy all Of the
land for buildings, but will allow
enough space to provide a site for a
municipal works for the district.
The government now spends large
sum each year for electric current,
and It is said that the new central
station will prove a good investment
in addition to providing better serv-
ice.
Buildings which are to receive light,
heat and power from the plant are:
Department Of agriculture, bureau OF
engraving and printing. treasury
building. White House buildings and
grounds. state, war and navy, winder
and mills buildings. court OF claims,
museum. Smithsonian insti-
tuition, army medical museum, fish
the district building,
monument. and post Of
fice department. The plant also will
supply the departments of state. jus
tice, commerce and labor when these
are constructed.
