RACE IMPROVEMENT FALLAcY.
Early Marriages Not Conducive to
Strong Mentality.
(Scientliic American)


In the various discussions of means
for improving the human race one OF
the ideas propounded is that our "su-
perior" man, that is superior mentally,
should marry at an earlier age so that
four generations might be produced in
century, even at the expense of de-
layed efficiency. The result of such
system, it is pointed out, would be
that at the end of the century two
thirds of our population would be of
the 25-year stock, and all presumably
in comparison with previous genera
lions produced at the rate of three
generations or less to the century. To
such theories exceptions have been ia
ken by many, and in order to develop
definite facts, Casper L. Redfeld of
Chicago, who maintains that early
marriag es that result in RAPID genera =
lions lead to conditions that produce
mental and moral detectives, offered
last April to donate 500 to the Amer
lean Genetic association If 1t could be
shown that any superior individual
was ever produced by breeding human
beings as rapidly as four generations
per century; and considering the ex-
ceptionally great man of history he
offered second 500 if single one of
them could be shown to come in the
three generation class. Recently the
ass ocia ton returned to Mr.. RoGileld
the money he had deposited, no me
having met the conditions announced

PASSED ON RAILROADS
OFFICIAL BUSINESS
ONLY OFFICIALS WHO ACTUAL
LY REQUIRES TRANsPoRTA.
TON WILL BE SUPPLIED.

The last Legislature passed law re-
quiring transportation companies to
issue passes to certain officers when
travelling on official business, and the
state utilities commission has now is
sued instructions TO county commits
sioners relative to the issuance of free
transportation to county officials in
accordance with the provision made
by the legislature therefor were issued
Saturday by the public utilities COM
mission. A form of application fol
such transportation has been prepared
and with its instructions the commits
sion transmitted to each board of com
missioners a small supply of the appli-
cation blanks.
Law Limits Passes.
The commission seeks to impress on
the country commissioners that it is
not the intention to grant free trans
portation indiscriminated to every
deputy sheriff who holds commits
sion, but to issue it only to those who
actually reside at the county seat and
whose duty requires chem to travel.
The intention of restricting the free
transportation to the lowest possible
minimum is announced in the letter
to the commissioners. Each board is
asked to enter upon it's minutes a res
olution naming the officers to whom
they desire transportation issued, and
fled copy thereof The commissioners
are instructed to take up any trans
portation issued to a county official
who sewers his connection with the
county and to forward it to the COM
mission, to be returned to the proper
officer of the railway company by
whom 1t was issued.
Interstate Trips.
The commission holds that free
transportation received by sheriff or
deputy cannot be used for an inter-
state trip any portion thereof, and
that any trip which causes the officer
to leave the confines of the state, even
though both the starting point and the
destination are within it's borders, Is
an interstate trip.
It will therefore recommend no
Transportation over the Northern Pa
cific or any other road in northern
Idaho for a sheriff or deputy residing
in southern Idaho, and vice versa. 1t
will also be impossible to use trans
portation on the Oregon Short Line
for trips to Payette and Weiser from
points east.

PRosPEcToR OF THE DESERT.
[ arthur Chapman)

(Arthur Chapman)
He rests, half buried in the drift
OF waterless and silent strands;
His fingers clutch a hooking gift
The worthless, wind blown desert
sands;
He thought to close his hands upon
A heavier and yellow prize,
But now his lusts for gold have gone,
Shrivell d beneath those blazing
skies.
The lizard fits about his form,
The buzzards circle in the height;
If there be mercy in yon storm
May he be covered deep ere night;
And may the ripping sands smooth
Ger
Upon the deserts face the spot
Where ends his quest forevermore,
The quest of him the desert got.
The trails to distant water holes
His plodding feet shall ne'er retrace,
For unto still more distant goals
The prospector has turned his face
These shifting sand hills lose their glow
The breeze no more is furnace hot,
And when the storm ends none shall
know
Where rests the man the desert got.

TELEPHONE FROM TRAINS.
s 4ccessfu Wireless Test Made by the
Lackawanna Railroad.


The first completely successful tests
Of the wireless telephone from n
moving train were made early in Feb
ruary on the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western railroad, when spoken
messages were clearly heard for 20
miles, from Lounsberry to Bingham
ton, in New York. The sending APP
paratus is the invention of Lee De
Forest Its powerful transmitter is
operated by horsepower steam
turbine, coupled to a generator. Wires
in conduits carry the high tension cur
rent from the generator in the bag
gage room to the wireless room,
tiny compartment in the car next to
the baggage car. The first four cars
of the train carry aerial wires, Is
inches above their roofs from 4 to 5
amperes of current are used for ra-
dating purposes. L. ]. Foley, super
intendent of telegraph and wireless of
the Lackawanna railroad, in an in
terview in the New York Times, says
that he expects that within a few
months wireless telephone messages
will be sent from moving trains for so
miles In the management of the
roads the chief advantage in the use
of wireless telephone will be to expe-
dite the dispatching of freight trains.
Mr.. Foley predicts that passengers on
moving trains will be able eventually
to talk over the telephone to persons
at stationary telephones in large cities
along the line.

FIND LEAD MINE.
Missouri Farmers Make Find While
Pulling Stumps.

Missouri Farmers Make Flnd WhlIe
Pulling Stumps.
Some farmhands while digging up a
stump on the julie Solomon farm, just
south of DeSoto, Mo, struck a chunk
of lead. They investigated and found
that 1t was of huge proportions, and
when it was finally unearthed in
weighed about 100 pounds. The men
then made further investigation, with
the result that about 10000 pounds Of
lead has so far been taken out, with
plenty more in sight. The lead is of
very fine quality, being what the min
ers term blue galena. 1t is generally
known that there is lead ere in the
vicinity of DeSoto and this strike will
n all probability cause mining and
prospecting to be resumed.

NEW FACTS CONCERNING
HISTORY OF THE EARTH
ATLANTIC AND GULF COAST SUB
JEcT or THE GEOLOGICAL
SURVEY.

New details are continually being
tory of the earth, including the devel-
opment of plants and animals. How
ever, that history, which is recorded
in the rocks, is still fragmentary, like
a badly mutlated book. One of the
great defects in the record in the At
lantic gulf coastal plain regions of this
country is the absence of tbs later part
of the Cretaceous and the early part Of
the eocene chapters-perhaps to 10
million years ago. report recently
Aissued by the geological survey as
professional paper 90-J entitled THE
Cretaceous- Eocene Contact in the
Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain" by
L. w. Stephenson, discusses this miss
ing part of the record and shows that
the break must cover very long
period Of time. 1t is known that at
that time the continents were at least
as large as and probably larger than
they are now, and the oceans were ac-
cordingly smaller Any rocks that
were then formed in the sea seem to
have been weathered and washed
away.
Break in the Record.
Hundreds Of kinds of plants and
animals that lived before and hun
dreds that lived after this great period
are known, but not one which lived
during the period. Strange to say,
few If any of the species which existed
before the unknown period lived
through it. 1t is like a play in which
the places of one act remains the same
as in the preceding but the characters
are all new, and yet many of the new
players resemble the old ones so much
that one Is compelled to admit that
they are close relatives. In each of
the states bordering the Atlantic
ocean, south of New York, and the
Gulf of Mexico, are layers of rock
which were formed before and after
the period whose record is missing. In
these layers are entombed sea shells of
many kinds, but apparently not one
species lived through from CretaceOus
TO Eocene time.
