AEROPLANE FROM |D|TAROD ID
 SEWARD

That an airship has already been taken over by Nome man, and that it will be used for the run between Seward and the Iditarod is the news contained in the Los Angeles Exam iner. Some time ago it was pro posed to carry the Nome mails over land to and from the coast by aero planes, and we may come to that yet, but for the present it is inte3e stia~ to know that a man is now experi- menting on a machine for the Seward run. The story appears on the front page of the Examiner. The only thing to be objected to in the story is that the aviator speaks of never taking less than $2OO,OOO worth of gold, but that would not be very often unless he tapped some other camp besides the Iditarod. The plan of taking gold and passengers is quite feasible. The following is the story from the Examiner:
 An aerial gold conveying service, the first in the history of aviation, to be used solely for hurrying gold from 600 miles in the interior of Alaska to the coast in one day, in stead of sixteen days, as required by the dogs on the trails, is shortly to be established with a Glenn Mar tin seaplane as the carrier, according to Aviator Leon Richardson of Nome. Alaska. who has just arrived in Los Angeles.
 MT. Richardson came here from Alaska three days ago. Since then he has been experimenting with MT. Martins machines.
 CT have selected a seaplane pro duced by Mir. Martin, which can cas- ily carry two passengers and 1000 pounds of gold said the aviator yes terday at the Lankershim, where he is stopping. T shall drive it myself daily from Seward to Iditarod, straight across two great mountain ranges. the Coast and the Alaskan.
 "T shall never carry less than s2OO ,OOO on trip. The interest saved by my short cut will make my ven ture we'll worth while.

Make Appearances Count.

A good appearance IS always an en tering wedge when a man seeks all interview, but all the clothes i'll q kings wardrobe won't sell bill of goods. It takes human intelligence to do that Vanity sometimes leads Il fellow to bedeck his person like five storied wedding cake, and some men do it. suppose. because they believe in the foolish aphorism that "clothes make the man" It's the other way Man makes the clothes. and just as of ten clothes nnmake the man.

Ire. Agriculture an Old Story on the

 Approximately nine-tenths of the arabic area of Majorca. one of the Spanish islands in the Mediterranean. is planted out to crop yielding trees. That makes one story agriculture. Then beneath the trees grain is grown. That makes the second story, which may properly be Iikened to the cyclone cellar.

ARABIAN JUSTICE.
4 Desert Problem tho cadi Had No
 Trouble In SoIvinq.

Trouble In Solving.
 Two Arabs stopped at an oasis to have luncheon. One had three dates. and the other had five, which they were to eat together. Presently stranger came up and asked permis. sion to share their meal, which they cheerfully granted. After all had eaten the stranger thanked them for the food they had given him, left eight ducats and rode away.
 The Arab who had the three dates said, Here is 8 ducats for eight dates-1 ducat for each date; there fore three ducats are mine." But the other Arab argued differently and con- tended that he should have seven du- cats and the first man one. The case was referred to the cadi of the nearest town, who upheld the second mans contention. This is the way he reached his decision:
 The three men divided eight dates There were two and two-thirds for each, or eight-thirds. The first Arab had three dates, so he contributed nine thirds to the whole but he ate eight thirds himself, so he gave only one third of a date to the stranger. The second Arab contributed five dates, or fifteen thirds; he ate eight-thirds him. self and gave seven-thirds to the stranger.
 So reasoned the cadi. and he gave the first Arab 1 ducat and the second 2 ducats-Youth's Companion.

Cheap Power.

Natural steam coming up through the ground is n cheap power for running an engine in the northern Tuscany mountains. Lakes of hot water in the vicinity of the steam holes contain much boracic acid. and a manufactur ing company uses the natural steam to run machinery for extracting the valn able boracic acid from the lake water. The only difficulty in this pleasant state of affairs is that the steam itself is so highly charged with boracic acid that it would injure the blades of a turbine engine, so the steam is used to heat up an ordinary boiler. and the steam from the boiler is then used in the turbine. The steam is caused by volcanic action and comes up through blowholes at considerable pressure Saturday Evening Post
