Woman As Tramps.
(Meriden Journal.D

According to. newspaper reports woman tramps are becoming quite numerous in the states west of the Mississippi. Dressed in men's clothes. they are Jumping freights and living regular vagrant life.
 The finer sort of women are enter ing all fields of labor. Similarly the coarser types of the sex will break down the barriers in their own way. Women tramps are a manifesto tion of idlcnesS and vice that pre- sages no good.
 If this tendency becomes general it will be even better realized that there is too much leniency in dealing with the tramp evil. Migrants have too easy time riding up and down the country for nothing. They seem to feel that freight trains were cre- ated for their own z special benefit The railroads do not dare cope with them. If: women are enjoying this vicious vagrancy, it is about time to sit down on all these disorderly rov CTS. If men and women will become "tramps," let them really tramp it over the highways, instead of infest- ing the railway lines.

Mammoth Cave.
(Pan-American Bulletin )

Mammoth cave is in Edmonson county, Kentucky, about eighty-five miles southwest of Louisville, and not far from Green river, into which the caves subterranean waters empty. This section of Kentucky, where may be found limestone beds frequently reaching a thickness of 500 feet, is noted for it's rocky grottoes, sink holes, and caverns. The rocks in the vicinity of Mammoth cave give evil dence of but little disturbance by the dynamic forces of past ages. It is such areas of limestone deposits, with comparatively level strata and located somewhat above drainage level, With small crevices or joints, that fur nlsh the conditions for the formation or underground passageways and chambers by the chemical and me- chanlcal agency of underground wa ters.
 From geological viewpoint Nam moth cave is of comparatively recent orlgln, it's formation having begun something less than 1000 years ago, Ill the Pliocene age. The cave action began after Green river had cut it's channel down into the limestone stratum which underlies this section.
 
 content, seeped through the overly ing earth and passing into and through the crevices and joints of the stone, at that time above, the level of the river, began the work of solution and erosion. These underground waters gathered along the planes of least resistance, and as the crevices grew in size more and more of the sur face water was drained into them and as Green river cut it's bed deeper into the limestone underlay the cave wa ters kept pace with the process until what had been mere subterranean r1lls grew into that remarkable under ground stream known as Echo river, which now flows through the lowest levels of the cave and empties into Green river. During the ages it has been at work dissolving the stone and cutting it's way along where resistance was least, ever seeking lower levels, it has left behind it the twisted, tortuous passageways and large gal leries and chambers which form this mightiest of all known caverns. Ac- cording to geologists, it took Green river nearly 100000 years to cut away it's present bed, so the cave is estimated to be almost as old. It first came into prominence during the war of 1872, when the United States government needed nitrate to make powder, Some of the large entrance chambers of the cave had formed the winter habitations for myriads of bats for many ages, and as a consequence the soil had become converted into guano beds with large nitrate con- tent. As a result the cave became a nitrate mine whence much of the powder supply for the young nation was obtained.

At this time, with the canal blocked, we have not a single battleship of the first class in the Pacific, Guam is not fortified, and the fortifcation work on Hawaii under way is tagging for want of adequate appropriation by con- gress that fills high the pork barrel.

 New Haven republicans are talking of seeing former President William H. Taft as a delegate to the next re- publican national convention. "If he so desires" is significantly added to the announcement. Why should he de- sire? He has had all the glory and hard work there is to be had out of politics, he is happier than he was while in the White house, is on good terms with the world, including him. self, and is more highly thought of by the country than he ever was in his life before.

 President Wilson is wise to select a seashore home within easy running distance of Washington. Next sum- mer will be busy. Congress will probably continue long in session. This, with the presidential campaign, makes it desirable for him to keep close to the handspring.

Black Walnut Going Into Gun Stocks
 Springfield Republican.) ..

Long years ago Kentucky people got through using black walnut for fence rails. The wood was comm onplace and nobody had thought of conserv- ing it, but the demand for black wal nut for making furniture and gun stocks halted it's use for fence rails. Since then black walnut has not been slaughtered as of old, but nobody has been at pains to plant black walnut trees against future demand for the wood. Such demand has now come with rush, and what black walnut the Blue Grass state had left is on the move. The Louisville Cou- rier-Journa1 mourns the departure. which is one of the wide-reaching effects of the great war, in these nov ing words:
 At every railroad station walnut logs, the "strippings'' of forests long since milked of their best timber the shade trees from woodland pastures or from avenues leading to residences are being sold. When walnut logs reach the, prices they now command it is hard for land owners to figure a profit in leaving them on the land. The wide reach of war as devastator is observable when the fighting in central Europe and the Balkan states robs Kentucky woods and pastures of black walnuts which have been cher ished and guarded for generations.

of the east end the patrons of low
 bars, for whose benefit the law was passed, were inclined to evade it. The penalty is fine of $500, and it would seem that if the police are determined to put a stop to treating they should have no trouble after a few widely advertised convictions. Soldiers were the chief offenders, for the reason, no doubt, that they believe their weeks in the trenches entitle them to a cer- tain license.
 Saloon keepers are agreed that the new order means a depreciation in their business of from 90 to 40 per cent. This may be enough to make the trafic in liquor so unprofitable that many saloon keepers will have to go ont of business. One saloon more or less is nothing when the welfare of a nation is involved.
