EQUATORIAL ECUADOR.
A Land Of Earthquakes Nearly All q
Mile Above Sea Level.

Land Of Earthquakes Nearly All
Mile Above Sea Level.
The traveller arrives in Guayaqun
laden with quinine pills, but he learns
that In journey of day he can reach
the temperate zone. He brings sum-
mer clothing for country crossed by
the equator and nearly perishes on
the frozen slopes of high mountains.
He finds a government as unstable as
the volcano shaken soil. He notes I'M
portant industries that thrive upon
these turbulent shores. Ecuador Is
land of contradictions.
1t Is the land where the Incas ruled
after they came into Peru. 1t was the
birthplace of Atahualpa, who fell be-
fore Pizarro. 1t was from his capital
at Quineto along the mountains that
Gonzalo Pizarro rode out with Orel-
lana to discover the Amazon.
The land which bears the name of
the equator rivals her sister republics
in variety of scenery and climate. Her
feet rest ON the dazzling chrome green
shore of q tropic river; her head wears
the fleecy crown of eternal SHOWS.
With one hand she points to the wide
Pacific; with the other, to the matted
Jungle of the Amazonian valley. Colon
bia, Brazil and Peru are her neigh
bors, but who can say where the ter
ritory of the one actually begins and
the other ends? Two-thirds of the peo-
Pile of Ecuador are Indians, pure and
simple Nine-tenths Of the population
live a mile above the sea. Her territory
Is three times as large as Pennsylvania.
Her domain is practically unexplored,
but commercially she is forging ahead

Masked Wonan.

Upper class Swahili women wear Gu
rfous masks, which are made of leather
and beads in a wooden frame. The
mask is derived from the traditional
usage Of Moslem women, who must
keen their faces covered in the pres
encA of men. For several centuries
Arab traders have frequented this east
African coast. and to their influence
are due most Of the civilized customs
found today among the natives Of the
district. The clothing worn by these
prosperous danes is Of silk; their shoes
are partly Of silver, and they wear
much silver jewelry. The Moslems in
Zanzibar, by the way, are less fanati-
cally strict about religious usages than
their brethren in Morocco and Turkey.

EDUCATING THE INDIAN.
Difficulties the Student Faces After He
Has Left College.


Difficulties the Student Faces After He
Has Left College.
The conditions to which most Indian
students return are hard, far harder
than the average easterner can realize.
Many of the reservations are long dis
tances from railroads, so that supplies
are hard to get as well as expensive,
while In places water is real luxury.
The standards of the community must
also be taken into consideration, and In
all too many localities the white people
living near are not of type to prove
either helpful or elevating. With all
these difficulties, and many, many
more, we expect far more of the Indian
than we would of white student who
had enjoyed equal advantages.
A white boy who has been in school
until he is perhaps twenty and in that
time has had to master In addition to
the usual studies new language and
accept an entirely strange system Of
living is not expected to raise the
standards Of his home community to
any very great extent. The Indian is.
He must not only have acquired
trade and be able to do skillful work,
but he must speak English well enough
to act as interpreter, understand the
Bible and teach In Sunday school, as
well as be prepared to advise in the
councils of his people regarding various
phases Of their legal standing and land
questions.
And when he is unable to fulfill all
these requirements we hear that In
dian education is a failure.-Southern
Workman.

A Bio Birdcaqe,

A very peculiar institution in the
New York zoo is what is known as
the flying birdcage." This magnifi-
cent aviary is the largest of its kind
in the world, being 55 feet high, u
feet wide and $50 feet long. Large
oak and other trees grow in this cage,
and the birds live within its wire net
ting bounds in the utmost freedom.
The frame Of the cage is built Of iron
pipes, which are covered over with
thin meshed netting.

Peterson at a get-together feast in his
home ward in Minneapolis. ,frs..a
Mr.. Peterson is candidate for the

Already there are several aspirants
in the field for the republican guber-

about to "declare their intentions"
Whatever little influence the Union

Hennepin county, proposes, if returned
to the legislature, to advocate the pas
sage of a measure that will result in a
tax Of So being levied upon each indi-
vidual who does not go to the polls and
vote, the Brown County Journal ex-
presses approval Of the plan. 1t says:
'It cannot be denied that non-voting
is the greatest drawback to primaries
as we'll as general elections. The min
critics pick the candidates at the pri-
maries and sometimes elect the office
holders at the general elections" 1t
is extremely doubtful, however, if
conditions would be bettered if the pro-
posed plan were adopted. The indi-
vidual who does not appreciate the
franchise enough to exercise it GER
tainly isn't in a position to vote in
diligently. The rule of an interested
minority is preferable to that of dis
interested majority. H.. -.

The fellows who are advocating an
enormous army and navy for this
country should be put in the trenches
over in Flanders for few months.
Such course Of treatment might have
tendency to make them modify their
IDEAS Wilkin County Gazette.
And it might have just the opposite
effect. In fact several pronounced
pacifsts have returned from Europe
thoroughly convinced that adequate
means Of defense must be provided for
the United States. England and
France have paid dearly for their COM
parative unpreparedness as compared
to Germany. It is very well to ask
who is there to attack us, but it might
also be well to remember that the
sstupendous European conflict was on
before an astounded world had time
to realize what had happened. And
what they are fighting over remains
more or less of a mystery to this day.

At short intervals some inventor
rises to his feet and announces that
he has perfected a contrivance that
will end warfare because" of it's ter
rible destructiveness. Nikola Tesla
is the latest to come forth with a
statement of this kind. His invention
is a manless airship that it is said
will go through space with a speed of
300 miles second. It has no propel-
ling engine or wings, and is sent by
electricity to any desired point on the
globe All of this makes interesting
reading, but in most cases that is all
that results from these inventions.
Mr.. Telsa is an inventor Of note, how
ever, and may have succeeded. We hope
so at any rate.

Under the sarcastic caption, "Let the
People Rule" Leslie's Weekly every
once in while cites various lawless
acts committed by damphools in vari-
Gus sections of the country. The last
issue contained an editorial under this
caption, and among other things cited
was the fact that a "joker" recently
wrecked two trains on a Brooklyn, N.
Y, trolly line by setting the emergen-
cy brake and twenty-five passengers
suffered serious injuries. This is GER
tainly conclusive proof that the rule of
the people is a failure! Nothing like
the above could possibly happen if the
franchise were limited to the moneyed
classes, and the sapient editors of
magazines like Leslie's!

There are thousands of people in

opportunity to vote for Frank B. Kel-

admitted, and the people should put
him in nomination without any candi-

part. 1t is certainly new plane to

state lands in northern Minnesota, and
to provide for the mining and sale of
ore under the beds of lakes and rivers.
