North Dakota has 44,917,12 acres
of land. When the last census was
taken, 20,455,092 acres of it were i'm
proved. This is almost three times
as much as the New England states;
more than eleven times as much as
Florida; more than Ohio or Indiana;
it was almost as much as Wisconsin
and Michigan combined.
The reduction in the amount of
liquor sold in North Dakota during the
last five years is indicated by the
falling off in the number of Federal
licenses from 1900 in 1909, to 280 in
1914, according to the annual report
of F. L. Watkins, superintendent of
the North Dakota Liquor Enforcement
League.

REAL SAVING.

1t is said that man who won't buy
a paper because he can borrow one,
has invented a machine by which he
can cook his dinner from the smoke of
his neighbours chimney. The same fel-
low sits on the back pew Of chuch to
save interest on contributions and is
always borrowing ride to save horse
flesh. He is first cousin to the man
who never winds his watch for fear of
breaking the spring. He was no
doubt near relative to the man who
went into the back yard during a cold
snap last winter, soaked his hair in
water, let it freeze, then broke it off,
in order to beat the barber out of a
haircut.-Ex.

Tallest ElaanoIe.

A fitting symbol Of the mighty for
ests OF the West is Astoria's flagpole,
the tallest in the world, which floats
the stars and stripes 241 feet above
the Panama-Pacific exposition sea wall
at the corner of the Oregon building.
The stick, for it is a single stick of
timber, is actually 251 feet long, but
ten feet of the butt is imbedded in
a 200-ton block of solid concrete,
which, without other stays, holds the
pole upright against the wind.
The pole was shaped from the trunk
of a Douglas fir, which, as it originally
stood in the Oregon forest, lowered
BAT feet in the air, and might have
matched its height, though not it's
girth, against any but the loftiest of
the California ~sequoias. Looking up
at the great flagstaff, it is hard to
realize that it weighs upward of As
tons, and that there is lumber enough
in it to build five ordinary eight-room
houses. It's great height gives it an
appearance of slenderness and light
ness.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Mysterious Zones Of silence.

A m~eteorologist of Zurish, DR.. A. de
Quervan, directs attention to a new
theory which he calls a zone OF 81
Hence. He says that strong noises like
explosions or the sound Of cannons,
while heard in a normal way in their
immediate neighborhood, are not heard
In a distant zone even when most in
tense.
1t is now known as q historical fact
that Frederick the Great on August II,
1850, won the battle Of Liegnitz be-
cause the Austrian generals Daun and
Lasen asserted that they had not heard
the sound Of cannons. 1t was sup.
posed at that time that the statement
of the Austrian commanders was an
nntruth,, but it is now believed that a
zone of silence existed. Similar
phenomena have been observed recent
ly. In 1908, when the Jungfrau rail-
road was being built in Switzerland, a
fearful defamation took place, caused by
the explosion of $4,000 Kilograms OF
dynamite. The noise was heard at q
distance OF 30 kilometers, but not at
140 kilometers. Strange to say, how
ever the noise was heard so kilometera
from the last named zone.

TAKING M FROM DAMN
DOES NOT TAKE THE CURSE OFF
BY ANY MEANS.
Mhen One Doesn't Care a. Well,
Even thinkers DAM Is Bad
Language to Say the
Best About II.

A contributor to the Sun grieyes
over the ignorance of those who as
Isume that "tinker's dam" is a pro
fame expression" A tinker's dam,
says he, was a chunk of dough or bat
ter used before the days of muriatic
acid to keep the solder from spread
ing; and as the solder commonly did
spread nevertheless, the tinker's dam
WAS as nearly worthless as the COM
mon expression of disesteem for 1t
Implies. He ~differentiates it from the
common or garden damn and says:
s'There is no profanity about it"
But not to care a tinker's dam IS
Just as p~rofane as not to care a MAYER
ick damn, unbranded with ownership
by thinkers or others. Taking the N
out of damn does not take the curse
off. If it is profane not to care a
damn, it is just as p~rofane not to care
a whittier, a jabberwock, a COOP. or any
other illegitimate and unsanctioned
word. When one stentoriously enun-
ciates his refusal to appraise the ar
ticle under discussion at the value OF
"a damn, he is not swearing or ours
ing; he is literally using bad language,
for, in the sense he means, there is
no such noun as damn. We know
what a tinker's dam is, but what Is a
damn? When one says he does not
care a whoop. he is far more definite,
for there is such a thing as a whoop.
Whence arose the idea that not caring
a damn was being %profane, and why
do persons who do not care one plume
themselves on their devilishness?
1t is not p~rofane, but it has the
sound of being profane, and that is all
that is needed. An individual who
would not for the world have used
blasphemous language used to relieve
his feelings by pronouncing the name
of one of Wagner's operas in a tone
that caused neighboring windows to
fall in, and "Gotterdammerung' gave
him as much satisfaction as If he had
violated a commandment. And M
was the man who always swore by
Charles G.. D. Roberts and Josephine
Dodge Daskam because they sounded
SO profane? There is an excellent
Methodist in this town who severely
r~eprehends profanity whenever he
hears it, but who produces all the ef-
feet of shocking blasphemy by the i'm
FILTERED emphasis he lays on the ex-
clamation, For governments sake!'
Colonel Roosevelt plumes himself on
his abstinence from profanity, but
none of the unregenerate ever got
such satisfaction out of a real cuss
word as he does put of by Godfrey
No, tinker's dam belongs In the com
fort.giving galaxy of profane refugees
for the emotions; and that Is the
worst you can say of the other damn
New York Times.

ANALYSIS of the Apple.

Ripe apples contain about SO per
CEN water, GA per cent of protein,
1875 per cent of carbohydrates, 3 per
cent of ash, and 81 per cent of cellu-
lose. They contain a fuel value of
200 calories to the pound. OF the
carbohydrates, from so to rs per cent
is sugar and the remainder is made
up ofNvegetable gums or pectose. Pee
tose is the substance which causes
fruit to jelly. The amount of cellu-
lose in fruit varies at different stages
of ~ripeness and in different varieties.
Ripe apples contain more sugar and
less celluIoise and acid than green ap-
pies.

HOW FEAR TIRES THE BRAIN
Is Same Form of Exhaustion as Dis
cas- and Produces Same Effect,
Scientist Ayers.

Doctor Grille aroused the greatest
interest among the many scientific
men recently when he illustrated the
effect of insomnia, physical exhaus-
ton, fear and disease upon the brain
cells of more than fifty rabbits with
which he had experimental and de-
clared that each form of exhaustion
produced exactly the same effect, both
in the lower forms of life and in hui
mans.
The brain, the liver and other or
gans of the body are connected in
the kinetic chain or system, and
change in one link of that chain modi-
fies the entire system proportionately.
Thus disease or exhaustion in one or
gan of the kinetic system will produce
a harmful effect on the brain cells
which comprise the great central bat
terry which drives that system.
AS many as twenty cells in the
brain may be totally destroyed after
prolonged insomnia, but, on the other
hand, eight hours sleep will often re-
StOl6 int UldIli Cel1S W d uCIIIldl COu
dition after a shorter period of ex-
haustion from insomnia or other
causes. In this connection, it was
pointed out that athletes who had at
tanned fame in early life by their feats
of physical endurance were rarely
known to become prominent in other
fields in after years.
A change in the system, it was de-
clared, may result in an immediate
breakdown or acute shock, or the
gradual modification of one or more
of the kinetic organs may give rise
to a number of diseases. This theory
has already given the world the shock
less operation, and it opens a posi-
bility of controlling certain chronic
diseases which are the result of owe
stimulation of one or more of the or
gans in the kinetic chain.
