WINTER IN SERBIA
Armies are Now Battling in Region Of
Intense Cold.

Armies are Now Battling in Region Of
Intense Cold.
Serbian winters are severe, and
cheerless, with dull skies, and sharp.
damp winds securing the valley, while
intense cold settles upon the exposed
uplands," says a bulletin issued today
by the National Geographic society.
I'm the lowlands adjacent to the
Danube, winter weather is milder, but
the ground through many days is
spongy with dampness. In the noun
famous districts, however, the cold is
as bitter as that which deadens the
Russian plains during January and
February, and most Of Serbia is in
cluded in the mountainous area The
north central section, in the Danube
valley. the northwest section, in the
Save Valley, and a belt, northwest,
through the heart Of the country, the
Morava Valley, together, constitute
the sum total Of the important low
lands, the winters are like those Of
central Germany, while in the Mora
va valley the cold is greater.
upland Serbia has only two clear
ly defined seasons-winter and sum-
mer. There are scarcely any transi-
ton periods between the cold and the
heat. Summer lasts between May
and October, which latter month is
wet and chilly. The chill wetness
lasts sometimes we'll into November.
Mists hover over the valleys until to-
ward noon, and CONCEAL on the noun
tain sides. Going is accomplished
through a characterless damp, which
is not snow, or slush, or mud, but an
indeterminate combination Of all
three, supported over the ground in a
porous coating by a ribwork Of frozen
dew The snow fall Is considerable,
and generally covers the hills
throughout the winter.
Fluctuations in temperature are
great. A humid heat, Of 100 to LOB
degrees Fahrenheit, sometimes OPP
presses the valley for days at a
time, where winter temperatures are
experienced frequently OF from 13 to
20 degrees below zero. In the noun
famous districts, on the other hand,
summer is cool and pleasant among
the high groves of fir and pine. Trav-
elers who have spent winters In
search Of sport in the Serbian noun
tains have brought back arctic stories
about buying their cream In chunks
and carrying 1t on their wanderings
wrapped in a piece Of paper, and of
handling fresh eggs without the shells
as successfully as though these had
been hard-boiled. Winters in the high
lands Of Serbia are as strenuous as
those Of Russia.
THE lines Of the contending arm
les are now drawn up through the
areas visited by the coolest winter,
which are found in the southern
and central parts Of the kingdom.
Here, in the southern and central
mountains, despite the fact that Ser
bias climate Is generally described as
being mild, winter reigns with a stern
arctic way. Among the hardest peas
ants in the Balkans, people Injured
to exposure, labor and all manner Of
difficulties, are bred in these cold
uplands, and it is their homes which
are now coming within the battle
zones"

They are all here!" he calculated
Whereupon he rose, and, bending


Whereupon he rose, and, bending
a scathing glance upon the still pros
trate form Of Samuel T. Philander, he
said:
Tut, tut, Mr.. Philander: this is nc
time to indulge in slothful ease. We
must be up and doing"
Mr.. Philander lifted his other eye
out Of the mud and gazed in speech
less rage at Professor Porter. Then he
attempted to rise, nor could there
have been any one more surprised
than he when his efforts were i'm
mediately crowned with marked sue
cess.
He was still bursting with rage
however, at the cruel injustice Of Pro-
fessor Porter's insinuation and was on
the point Of rendering a tart rejoinder
when his eyes fell upon strange fig
ure standing a few PAGES away, scru-
tinizing them intently.
Professor Porter had recovered
his shiny silk hat, which he had
brushed carefully upon the sleeve OF
his coat and replaced upon his head.
When he saw Mr.. Philander pointing
to something behind him he turned to
behold a giant, naked but for loin
cloth and a few metal ornaments,
standing motionless before him.
Good evening SIR" said the pro-
fessor, lifting his hat.
For reply the giant motioned them
to follow him and set off to the beach
in the direction from which they had
recently come.
"I think it the part Of discretion to
follow him." said Mr.. Philander.
Tut, tut, Mr.. Philander," returned
the professor. "a short time since
you were advancing most logical argu-
ment in substantiation Of your theory
that camp lay directly south Of us. I
was skeptical, but you finally con-
vinced me, so now am positive that
toward the south we must travel to
reach our friends. Therefore I shall
continue SOUTH"
Further argument was interrupted
by Tarzan, who, seeing that these
strange men were not following him,
had returned to their side.
Again he motioned them to follow
him, but still they stood in argument.
Presently the ape lost patience
with their stupid ignorance. He grasp
ed the frightened Mr.. Philander by the
shoulder, and before that worthy gen.
tleman knew whether he was being
killed or merely manned for life Tar
zan had tied one end of his rope Sc
curely about Mr.. Philander's neck.
'Tut, tut, Mr.. Philander," remon-
strated Professor Porter. ut is most
unbeseeming in you to submit to such
indignities."
But scarcely were the words out Of
his mouth ere, he too, had been seized
and securely bound by the neck with
the same rope. Then Tarzan set Off
toward the north, leading the now
frightened professor and
his secretary.
In deathly silence they proceeded
for what seemed hours to the two
tired and hopeless old men, but pre-
sently, as they topped little rise Of
ground, they were overjoyed to see the
cabin lying before them, not hum
dred yards distant.
Here Tarzan released them and,
pointing toward the little building.
vanished into the jungle beside them
It was a much relieved party Of
castaways that found itself once more
united. Dawn discovered them still
their various adventures
and speculating upon the identity Of
the strange guardian and protector
they had found on the savage shore.

CHAPTER XII.
"Most Remarkable"


Several miles south Of the cabin,
upon a strip of sandy beach, stood
two old men arguing.
Before them stretched the broad At
lantic, at their backs the dark con-
tinent; close around them loomed the
impenetrable blackness Of the jungle.
Savage beasts roared and growled.
Noises, hideous and weird, assailed
their ears. They had wandered miles
in search of their camp, but always in
the wrong direction. They were hope
lessly lost
Samuel T. Pilander was speaking.
But, my dear professor" he was
saying, Il still maintain that but for
the victories Of Ferdinand and Isabella
over the fifteenth century Moors in
Spain the world would be better a
thousand years in advance Of where
we now find ourselves. But, bless me,
professor, there seems to be some one
approaching"
Prof. Archimedes @. Porter turn
ed to the jungle in the direction in
dicated by the nearsighted Mr.. Phi
lander.
tut, tut, Mr.. Philander!' he child
ed. How often must I urge you to
seek after absolute concentration OF
your mental faculties? And now I find
you guilty of a most fragrant breach
Of courtesy in interrupting my dis
course to call attention to mere
quadruped of the genus felis. AS was
saying. Mr.
Heavens, professor, a lion!" cried
Mr.. Philander, straining his weak eyes
toward the dim figure outlined against
the dark tropical underbush.
Eyes, yes. Mr.. Philander. If you in
sist upon employing slang in your dis
course a 1oin.' But, as was saying"
"Bless me, professor" again inter-
rupted Mr.. Philander, permit me to
suggest that we postpone discussion
of Moors until we may attain the en-
chanting view Of yon felis carnivora
which distance proverbially is credited
with lending"
In the meantime the lion had ap-
preached with quiet dignity to within
ten PAGES Of the two men, where he
stood curiously watching them.
Most reprehensible, most repre-
hensible!" exclaimed Professor Por-
ter, with a faint trace of irritation in
his voice.
Never, Mr.. Philander, never before
in my life have I known one Of these
animals to be permitted to roam at
large from its cage. shall most GER
tainly report this most outrageous
breach of ethics to the directors of the
geological garden"
"Quite right, professor" agreed Mr..
Philander, "and the sooner it is done
the better. Let us start now."
Seizing the professor by the arm,
Mr.. Philander set Off in the direction
that would put the greatest distance
between themselves and the lion.
They had proceeded but a short
distance when a backward glance re-
vealed that the lion was following
them. Mr.. Philander frightened his grip
upon the professor and increased his
speed.
'As was saying, Mr.. Philander"-
repeated Professor Porter.
Mr.. Philander took another hasty
glance rearward. The lion also had
quickened his gait and was doggedly
maintaining an unvarying distance be-
hind them.
HE is following us!" gasped Mr..
Philander, breaking into a run.
"Tut, tut, Mr.. Philander:" remon-
strated the professor. This unseemly

The zinc-mining district of southwest Wisconsin is situated in the centre of a rich farming region. The fee-owners of the land are usually farmers. The prevalent custom is for an operating company to lease ore-bearing land from the fee owner. A royalty, usually 10 per cent of the gross receipts, is paid as rent or as the fee-owner's share of the earnings. Unless otherwise stated in the lease, the owner pays all real property taxes on his fee. If the land covers an ore-deposit, he must pay a real property tax on an increased assessment, due to the increased value Sf the land, as well as an income tax on his royalty from the mine. Sometimes a mining company buys the area it in- tends to mine. In this case the com pany pays all taxes on the property and on income from the property. The
 surface is usually leased to others.
 Again, company, after buying the land outright, sells the surface. In this instance the mineral rights are assessed separately on the same basis as real estate, that is, to the fee-owners of the mineral rights. & s. Press.

Another Boost In Wages
 Is Made Public.

A Douglas dispatch says:-According to announcement made yesterday by the management of the Copper Queen and Calumet and Arizona mining com panies, the average price of copper during May was IS. 506 cents per pound. On this basis the wages paid at the smelters will be increased this month to the rate for copper between IS and 19 cents, which means more substantial prosperity for Douglas.
 Under this schedule the lowest wage paid to any person working at the shelter will be 1.75$ per day, while the high wage paid to day workers will be 6.S5$ per day. Salaries for the month will be graduated between the two ex- tremes mentioned.
 It had been generally anticipated that the wage rate would be increased this month, but that it would jump from the rate for 16 to 17 cents to that of from IS to 19 cents was not conjec- tured. The rate of pay for copper be- tween IT and IS cents was entirely skipped.
 It is now freely predicted that still furthur increase is due to be made next month, as the copper market is gener- ally regarded as a rising one.

west coast of Asia Minor at the close Of
the war.
Rumanian willingness to give back her
stealings between the Danube and the
Black Sea has been generally accepted.
This is a small price to pay for security
in the rear, while Rumanian armies are
invading Pennsylvania and Bukowina. AS
for Adrianople, this can be retaken by
Bulgarian armies if they enter the war.
Such are the conditions in the present
Balkan game.
But it must be recognized that Austro-
German success has brought new consid-
erations to the fore. Bulgaria has griev-
ances against both Greece and Serbia, but
Austro-German advance to the Egean is
deadly peril to her, for she would be
caught between Turkey and the Sultan
great allies. Greece, by the same token,
would lose Salonica. Rumania would
cease to be the dominant power in the
! Balkans.
1t is a common peril which is moving
all the Balkan States toward an accommo-
dation Of their separate grievances. In
addition there is the powerful influences
of Allied diplomacy, which is endeavoring
to enlist a million new soldiers, and by
bringing in the Bulgarian army seal the
/ fate Of Constantinople.
Complex as is the situation and con-
flicting as are the issues, it is well to re-
call that what Bulgaria now demands is
the realization of legitimate ambition to
free Bulgars from alien rule. If this is
war of liberation, then no people better
deserve freedom than the Macedonian Bull
CARS, and the statesmen Of Sofia are thor
oughly justified in placing such condi-
ton upon their participation in the
struggle.
