CHRISTMAS STAMPS ALLOWED
 ON MAIL BY SPECIAL ORDER

Notice has just been received at the Clifton post office from the Postmast- CT General that the order prohibiting non-postage stamps being placed on domestic mail matter has been sus- pended for the month of December.
 This will permit senders of Christ mas parcels to place Christmas seals on such parcels addressed for de livery in the United States. Care must be taken, however, not to seal parcels against inspection with such stickers as sealing of parcels will subject same to the first-class rate of postage, two cents per ounce.
 It should be understood also. that non-postage stamps must not be af- fixed to the front or address side of mail matter addressed for delivery in foreign countries, as foreign coun- tries refuse to admit to their mails articles bearing non-postage stamps unless the non-postage stamps are affixed to the back of such parcels and that articles for foreign countries which do not comply with these con ditions will not be dispatched from this country but will be returned to the sender if known or sent to the Division of Dead Letters if the sen der is not known.

ceeded that for any one month in the turns show that the company had an output of 5,O54,153 pounds, a con siderable advance over the previous ly published figures for that month, comparing with 4,4S1,367 pounds in September, the previous high record, and 4,69S,755 pounds in August, This is the first time that Miami has reached 6O,OOO,OO0 pound per an mum basis.
 Although Miami is paying the highest wages in the district, and the cost of all materials has ad- vanced during 1916, it has been able to keep it's working costs well in hand. Unless this item shows a de cided increase in the last three months of the year, it is estimated that the working cost of 1916 will be between g and IA cents per pound.
 On the basis of October's produc- tion, with a working cost of IA cents, Miami is earning over $14,- COG, ,001, or nearly S19 a share, on the present price of copper, around 32 cents.
 Plans now under consideration will bring production for the latter half of 1917 up to basis of 75,- 000,010 pounds annually, which, on an average of 2S-cent copper, should assure earnings at the rate of SIS per share per annum. On a 32-cent copper market, this production would net Miami more than $22 a share.
 The present price for spot copper is above 32 cents per pound and pre- dictions are freely made for 35-cent copper, with possibilities for 5O- cent quotation. Miami's increased ! production will come from improve ments and enlargements at the mill and mine. Improvements on the metallurgical end of the business will also DC naQ6.
 The present daily output is 5,455 tons, compared with 4,200 tons few months ago. On its 300 acres the company has developed 95,145,OOO tons of ore with a copper content of 1.S2 per cent, or about 96 pounds to the ton At the present rate of pro- duction this tonnage would give the property a life of about eighteen years In addition to these reserves, there are about 6,OO0,OOO tons of partially developed mixed sulphide and oxide ores, carrying per cent copper, a method for the treatment of which will soon be installed. In cluding this latter tonnage, the property has a life of about twenty two years.

LAUDS LABOR MEN.
Views OF a Woman Writer on ths
American Federation Convention.

Views Of a Woman Writer on the
American Federation Convention.
Inex Haynes Gilmore, writer, ex-
presses these views OF the American
Federation of Labor convention In a
San Francisco newspaper:
"It was like listening TO the plans OF
generals of an army.
II was truly impressed by the phys
ical aspect OF those men. They were
the biggest. the most high standing.
the most straight looking men ! ever
saw In my life. And they had more OF
the fighting spirit than all OF the army
and navy put together, because the
army and navy are bureaucratic and
fight for a position, while the Ameri-
can Federation OF Labor fights only for
labor.
81 believe that the labor union Is the
only thing that We have that In train
ing men TO citizenship. Our schools do
not do 1t. or colleges do not do 1t. But
az coon as O man joins labor union
he begins his training in citizenship.
The remarkable intelligence of every
man In that convention an to what was
going on and their knowledge and un-
derstanding of 1t and all OF the eco
nomic laws under 1t was the most Inn
pressive thing / have ever seen
II say this without qualification, and
/ go on record as saying this-thRt the
best citizens the country has viii be
found among the unionists."

THE MYSTERIOUS EAGLE.
Curious Ancient Monument Left to Us
by the Indians.

On the broad top of stony. rain
quilted hill III middle Georgia there
lies very large eagle, concerning
which conflicting stories are told. The
one point that seems to be certain is
that the Indians left the eagle as a
legacy to the state hundred years
from now 1t will probably be found
lying on its back, with outspread wings
and tail, even as il lies today. For 1t
Is made of quartz rocks SO cunningly
placed that 1t would require a pick In
strong mans hands TO displace any
one of them. The rocks lap and over
lap In such a manner az TO represent
feathers No cement holds them In
position, and the stones vary In size,
weighing from half pound TO three
or four pounds. The image rests on q
very firm foundation, for the stone
work extends several feet into the
ground.
Once, perhaps twice, treasure seek
ing vandals dug into the breast OF the
eagle, but the work must have proved
too laborious, for the diggers gave up
before they had reached the bottom
layer of overlapping stones.
Rough but fairly accurate measure
ments of the bird show the length Of
the eagle from the middle Of the tail
to the head to be 102 feet and from
tip to tip OF outspread wings 120 feet
The length of the beak Is ten feet,
and the height of the body at the cen
ter of the breast is ten feet The eagle
lies with its head to the west
Tradition does not give any satisfac-
tory explanation of the age or the
meaning Of the great stone mound. 1t
may have had religious significance to
the red men who built 1t, and 1t may
be the burial place Of some great chief.
1t Is one of the most mysterious and
most interesting of prehistoric monu-
ments In the United States.-Youth's

OUR UNRULY SUN.
II seerns to Be Trying to DiIsts 20 the
Bursting Point.

The French astronomer Puiseux has
been busying himself with the constl
tuition OF the sun He finds that, in
stead OF condensing and shrinking lit
tie by little. as WAS formerly supposed,
the sun Is constantly dilating more and
more and reaching the point OF burst
ing And If the sun blew up there
would be no more need for us poor
mortals to worry about worldly ar
fairs
Big suns every whit as important In
their own consultations as ours are
frequently victims OF an explosion.
There was one In the constellation Of
Perseus early In 1901 and since then
two at least have occurred In other
celestial groups.
Observation has shown long since
that the great orb which Is our all in
ali Is a most uncertain character. Sun
spots, fire blasts and such like phe-
nomena are by no means the most of
which he Is capable. The manner In
which the sun throws off atomic ener-
gy and transforms the heavy into light
elements. hydrogen, helium, nebulium,
archonium and what not spells nothing
good for this world, and a mere moth
ing might lead to a disaster any day.
In short, 1t is bound to come at some
time or other. Unfortunately science
can give us no idea as TO when. Cen
turies and even hundreds of centuries
are as but a moment In the history of
the universe. says Professor Flamma-
rion. and for all we know the sun may
have millions of years more life before
it. No man can tell. though, and. just
/, as the strongest OF us are struck down
In moment, go the all powerful plan
ct may give out at any time, and when
1t does 1t will make but short work OF
all OF us here below.-Boston Tran

American Federation osss On RSesrA
Aaalnst Discrimination.
Samuel Gompers. president Of tbs
American Federation of Labor, has
sent to the national workmen's COM
mittee on Jewish rights a copy of the
resolutions passed by the federation et
its recent convention In San Fran
cisco, dealing with the Determinations
against Jews In the various countries
Of the world. The resolutions read as
follows:
Whereas, II has bean the good fortune
OF the people OF the United States TO be
comparatively free from ths turmoil Of
European strife. It's hAtreds and prstu-
dices; and
Whereas. The people and the govern
ment OF the United States are In q posi-
tioa TO exercise q beneficent influences In
aiding the world TO lay a foundation for q
durable and permanent peace based upon
Justice to all; and
Whereas, In some countries OF EuPops
the Jewish people are still deprived OF sle-
mentary political and civic rights: and
Whereas, Every form OF religious op-
preston and discrimination is contrary to
the spirit OF the American people: there
fore, be IL
Resolved, That the American Federation
OF Labor requests the government OF the
United States TO urge upon the govern
ments of tho nations of other countries 10
cease determinations wherever they ex-
ist and are now practieed against tho Jew
ish people: and be 1t further
Resolved, That the same appeal be made
by the American Feders ton OF Labor TO
the organized workers OF oil nations
la his accompanying letter Mr. Goaa-
pers says:
You will be interested to know that
when this resolution was reported to
the convention and adopted the fra.
ternal delegate from the British trade
union congress, Ernest Bevin OF the
Dockers' union, told me that resolu-
ton OF practically the same character
and purpose had been adopted by the
British trade union congress recently
held In Bristol.
II sincerely hope that the action OF
the organized labor movement OF
America will be helpful, In. calling at
tention TO the wrongs inflicted upon
Jewish people and Ia securing for them
their rights"

MAGIC OF IRRIGATION.
Story OF the Rice Fields of Southern
Louisiana.

Story of the Rice Fields of Southsrr
Louisiana.
In 1888 lowlands in southern Louisi-
ana near the bayous suitable for grow
ing sugar cane, corn and cotton could
be purchased for $3.50 an acre, and
the prairie lands back from the bayous
could be bought for ST an acre. With
almost the first crop under irrigation,
however, the values showed marked
rise and have continued to increase
In the first five years the value OF the
best rice lands rose to $40 an acre. and
soon after that it rose to $50 and even
$50 an acre
The first people to plant rice In south
ern Louisiana, according to the Unit
ed States geological survey, were the
Acadians, who, after their expulsion
from Nova Scotia by the English in
1855, settled In considerable numbers
In Louisiana Their cultivation Of rice,
almost primitive in its methods, was
confined to the lowlands along the
bayous, the prairies afrording pastur-
age for the Acadians' herds of cattle
Few Of the lowland areas admitted of
satisfactory drainage. and they were
too small for profitable cultivation.
The crops frequently failed In years of
deficient rainfall. Attempts were made
to create additional water supplies by
building leyees across low sags or
coulees at points higher than the cul-
tivated areas. but generally either the
rainfall proved deficient or the reser
voirs were too small
Little advance was made over the
Acadian methods until recent years.
Experiments In unusually wet years
had shown that the soils OF the prairies
were adapted to the growth Of rice Ii
sufficient water was at hand. This led
to the trial of pumps as means OF
raising water from the bayous 10 the
rice fields. SO successful was the test
that pumps were at once Installed at
many points. and in few years tens
OF thousands OF acres OF previously al.
most useless land, lying ten to seventy
feet above the bayous. were put under
cultivation The first large pump was
installed liz 1894 on the Bayou Plaque
mine, In Acadia parish, near Crowley.

NO DRY BATTERIES.
They All Contain Moisture or They
Would Be Useless.

So called dry batteries are in common
use for small electric call bell systems
and private telephone lines and were
used extensively for ignition on earlier
makes of automobiles. Applying the
word dry to the battery is mislead-
Ing, for there Is no such thing as a
"dry" battery There never was. nor
will there ever be.
IL 1t were dry no current would
generate, as 1t requires moisture to pro-
duce chemico-electric activity when
the circuit is completed from the plus
to the minus elements.
The so called dry battery Is really an
Enclosed wet battery" which retains
its moisture to its limit of life, wheth-
er In service or not The limit of life
depends on the stored capacity. how
frequently the circuit Is applied to it,
evaporation due to age and deteriora-
tion of the conducting elements.
The battery consists OF zine cylln-
der case containing carbon In the
center, the intervening space filled in
with a paste compound of one part
zinc oxide. one part sal ammoniac,
three parts plaster of paris and two
parts water. The quantities are great
er as the capacity of the battery is In
creased.
AS soon as a circuit Is completed a
chemical combination is started, and
the current flows from the internal
part of the zinc TO the carbon, then
out from the carbon to the appliance
and returns to the zinc. The external
terminals of the battery are the re-
verse of the internal.
When the battery is exhausted 1t can
be recharged by sending current into
1t from a close circuit battery, such as
a nitric or sulphuric acid cell. Pour
Ing water through a small hole at the
top of the battery Is an aid to the re
turn of It's life but neither this nor
the former will restore the battery to
its original efficiency. New York
