REMARKABLE CHANGE.


 In statistical survey of the first six months of prohibition in Arizona. Jan uary 1 to July 1, 1915. Thomas K. Mar shall shows the marked improvements in all phases of state life. Crime, in counties where saloons existed during 1914, fell off 373 per cent when the saloons were closed. This insured a say ing to taxpayers of $50,773.9S in de- creased cost of arrests and prosecu- tions. Even more striking are the fig ures for the cities and towns With a total decrease of 2,403. or 501 per cent. in the number of arrests for the first six months of 1915 as compared with the same months of 1914, the saving amounts to $S5,170.14 This almC off sets the entire amount of liquor 1se revenue, $100,99S. which was s.-.en- dered by the cities of the state.
 The record of the city of Phoenix is perhaps the most remarkable of any. Over $5,000000 increase in taxable wealth, decrease in tax rate and about $20.000 less in cost of city government for six months, is credited to the capi- tai city of Arizona for the first half of 1914. The decrease in arrests for drunkenness for the first six months of 1915 perhaps surpasses that of any city of it's size in the United States The number of arrests for 1914 was 1,210 and for 1915 was S5. The per capita cost of arrests for 1914 was $6,53. With 1,125 fewer arrests for the six months of 1915 for this cause there was decreased cost of $7,346.2 .25 to the city.
 Savings banks accounts in the state increased nearly $400,000 the first six months, and the deposits of all banks increased nearly $3,000,000 up to Sep tember, 1915.
 The children of the state are feeling the benefit of prohibition. There were for the first six months of 1915 2,000 more children in school than for the same period of 1914 The registration at the state university also shows an increase of 56 per cent over the regis tration for 1914

THE PALEOBOTANIST

PaleobOtanists are botanists who delve into the dim and distant past. they are botanists working on fossil remains of plants which inhabited the earth a thousand, million, or per haps 25 million years ago. The paleObotanist, like the common. ord- nary variety of botanist, is continual ly making discoveries of species new to science. although these new" spe- cies may have hourished when the Rocky Mountains were just beginning to appear above the primal ocean. Like the modern boCanist, again, as soon as he discovers a new plant of ancient days he gives it a Latin name, such, for instance. as Quercus chap maniolia, which is a cousin to another hoary, fossil oak. namely Quercus myrtilloides, whose existing cousin today Quercus chapmani, is found in Georgia and Florida. Some of these things are discussed in a short report by Edward Wilber Berry just issued by the United States Geological Sur vey at Washington as Professional Paper 98-F. The report, as may be inferred, is purely technical, but it may be of especial interest to natives of the city of Washington, for it notes that certain fossil elm leaves found embedded in the rocks of the District of Columbia and those near Rich mond, Va, are of the same family of elms that have been found in Iceland and Greenland

CAMEL IN ILLINOIS.

A wet and dry map of Illinois is revealing sort of document, says the Chicago Journal. It shows that the sale of liquor is forbidden in more than so per cent of the geographical area of the state. As indicating how great has been the retreat of John Barley corn continues the Journal, you can start at the Wisconsin boundary and drive in an absolutely straight line to the Ohio river without once entering wet territory. You can start from half dozen different townships on the Indiana border and drive straight to the Mississippi river on dry terri tory, and only at two places in cross ing the state from east to west do you need to make more than a small de- tour to avoid wetness
 With the prohibition state of Iowa on one side and dried-up Illinois towns and counties on the other, the Missis- sippi flows for hundreds of miles be- tween banks of solid drought; for only at six points north of the East St. Louis oasis can the thirsty voyager get anything to drink but water. As nearly as the Journal can tell, the camel Is marching forward all over the state"
