CHARGE WASTE OF WATER
AT THE PRINTING OFFICE
District Commissioners Bring Mat
ter to Attention of the War
Department.

Installation in the government print
ing Office of a large steam turbine
plant, which uses filtered water for
condensing purposes. is resulting in a
great waste of water at that institu-
ton, according to Il letter sent to the
War Department by the District Com
missionerS.
1t appears that the condensers in
this plant now use approximately g.
100000 gallons of water Il day. all of
which is discharged into the sewerage
system of the District. The Commits
sioners say that the annual cost of
furnishing to the government printing
ONCE this amount of water for con-
densing purposes is s34,25S, while the
estimated cost of pumping the water
at the sewerage pumping station is
$500 per annum, making a total an
nual cost of S31,65S.
1T has been suggested to the Com
mIssioners. states their communica :
tion to the War Department, that
much of this waste can be eliminated
by linking the government printing
Office plant with the Capitol power
plant. using the former only in emer-
gencies. and that when the central
power plant is constructed the govern
ment printing office should be linked
to it. either directly or through the
Capitol power plant"

TRIP OF 25,OOO MILES
TO INSPECT POST OFFICE
Postmaster Whose Books Are to Be
Examined Gets Salary of
S125 a Year.

Twenty-Five thousand miles is long
journey to take to inspect one tiny post
office. where the postmaster's salary is
only s125 d year. Yet that is the length
of the round trip on which f. Z. Smith.
postal inspector of this city. has recently
started. His objective is the post office
on the Island of Guam.
The law requires an inspection of post
offices, but Guam is so far away from
Washington that Postmaster Duarte, in
charge at Guam, has not been inspected
since 1908. For a technical reason, Guam
cannot be inspected by any inspectors on
any of the Philippine Islands now, even
if there should happen to be one there.
To satisfy the grim demands of the law.
therefore. Postal Inspector Smith had to
be dispatched on a journey equal to a
circumnavigation of the globe.
This trip is not so expensive to the
government as it sounds. as the postal
inspectors never have to pay railroad or
steamboat fare, although they do have to
pay hotel expenses, which will be taken
out of the post office receipts Mrs. Smith
has gone with Mr.. Smith on the long
trip.

MALBURN MAKES A TRIP
TO OBTAIN INFORMATION
Treasury Official Plans Collections
on Collaterals Deposited in Ex-
change for Relief Abroad.

Two missions carried Assistant Secre-
tary Malburn of the Treasury Depart
ment from his desk for ii few days of
travel. In New York, his first objec-
tive, he discussed with bankers meth
DDS for collection Of collateral given
by Americans abroad for advances from
the war emergency relief fund. He
was i'll Philadelphia today to meet with
the assay commission, which begins it's
duties of testing the gold in the United
states mints.
The Treasury Department, in an eff
tort to reimburse the war emergency
rellef fund, placed many notes of hand,
checks and other evidences of indebt-
ednesS, given by Amrrcan travellers in
Europe as security for loans, in the
hands of banks for collection. In many
instances failure of payment on de-
mand has been regarded by banks as
fort toward collection has been made
The exercise of every expedient for
collection is insisted upon by the gov
ernment, and the banks are to be in
duced to give their aid.
The annual assay commission ap-
pointed by the President this year con-
sists of sixteen members, several of
them from Washington. The commits
sion tests the weight and fineness of
gold in the mint at Philadelphia and
of certified samples from the other
mints of the country, which are sent
to Philadelphia for the purpose. This
labor requires several days, and is un-
dertaken yearly.

TRAVELETTE
BY NIKSAH.
New York Geological Park.

| Combining natural beauty of location
with collection of unusual scientific
value and interest, the New York ZOO
is worth a visit to any one who has the
| slightest interest in wild life.
| The grounds are a bit OF primitive
nature. Granite ridges that were laid
bare and polished by glacial action are
interspersed with hollows in which are
several natural ponds of great beauty.
They are drained by the Bronx river,
which leaps over ledge twelve feet
high in a striking cascade. Two-thirds
of the grounds are covered by a splen-
did growth of forest trees, which have
never been cut or damaged, thanks to
the former owners Of the land, who be-
lieved that trees belong to posterity.
This geological park is especially
unique for it's collection of rare North
American animals which are seldom
seen in captivity. Thus there are six
specimens of the white-fronted musk
oX-a creature that lives chiefly within
the arctic circle and which is extreme
ly difficult to capture and keep alive in
captivity. Five of the specimens in the
New York Zoo were captured by Paui
]. Rainey and Harry c. Whitney in
Ellesmere Land and presented to the
geological society. Admiral Peary also
captured a young musk OK upon one of
his arctic trips and presented 1t to the
zoo but 1t did not survive. Arctic ex-
plorers and whalers are about the only
white men that ever reach the haunts
of this strange creature.
The New York Zoo Is one of the few
in the world that contains living speci-
mems of the white mountain goat. To
induce this animal, which is native to
the rarefied atmosphere above timber
line in the northern Rockies, to live IN
dense, humid atmosphere little
above sea level is quite a problem.
Nevertheless. wild goats have been
bred successfully at the New York Zoo:
They are kept in a rock-paved corral
and fed upon the finest clover hay and
rolled oats.
The New York Geological Society rec
ognizes that one of the chief purposes
of such an institution Is the education
of the general public, and large num-
Der Of its exhibits are designed for
that purpose. The rodent-reptile col
lection is an excellent example. Most
persons regard all snakes as useless at
best, and many appear to think that all
of them are dangerous. In this ex-
hibit the snakes are exhibited side by
side with the destructive rodents upon
which they prey. The collection con-
tains specimens of the three or four
poisonous varieties that exist in the
United States and of scores of harm
less species which are valuable to agri-
culture.

Discrediting the Ground Hog.

There is no subject about which cling
more popular beliefs, ranging all the
way from rank superstitions to pseudo
scientific ideas, than about the weather
Most of these, according to officials of
the weather bureau, have not the re-
motest basis i'll fact They would even
deny the ground hog his one day of
national prominence, declaring that
whether or not the sun shines February
2 has nothing to do with the weather
for the next six weeks.
Even Indian summer, according to
scientists. exists more in the minds of
people than in the state of the atmos-
phere. They admit that there is often
a brief return of summery weather in
late autumn. but assert that its re-
currence is not regular, nor it's char
acteristics uniform enough to justify
naming it as separate season.
One very popular notion is that great
explosive disturbances such as battles
or celebrations of the Fourth of July,
result in downpourS of rain. Even be-
fore gunpoWder was invented it was
believed that the shock of contending,
steel-clad armies precipitated showers
This idea had certain amount of
scientific plausibility, inasmuch as the
shock of explosion might have an effect
upon clouds, and the weather bureau in
1892 made IL series of experiments TO
put it to the test. By means of kites
and balloons, dynamite was exploded in
the midst of clouds, but without pro-
ducing drop Of rain. And so that
idea was set down as popular super
stition, too.

Farm Labor Scarce.

The growing seriousness of the short
age OF farm labor is cmpha sized by the
demand this week from number of
agricultural organizations for suspen-
sion of the law enforcing the attendance
of children at school until they are thir-
teen or fourteen years old. TO avoid
the employment OF child labor various
plans are under consideration, such as
the employment of BelgianS or of woma n
laborers. or the exemption of skilled
agricultural Iaborers from military serv-
ice.
London dairymcn say that the scarcity
of labor as well as the increased cost
of fodder will make necessary a rise
in the retail price of milk. An advance
of | cent Il quart within d fortnight is
expected in the price of milk, which is
now tents in London.
