EUGENICS

bank and Mendel were doing their
research work and experimenting on
plants, Burbank took the pea and dis
covered that by mixing a tall specie
with a short specie he would get n
tall specie. but if he continued mix
ing the same species. he sometimes
would get a tall specie and some
times short specie. The first con-
dition we call dominant, the latter
reccssive. Mendel later applied this
experiment to human breeding and
il is known as the "Mendelian Law
Of Heredity." This law says we may
have body in the dominant state.

During the last year the Fairbanks toes imported from the states, accord ing to one of the largest dealers in the town, and the News Miner says that the result is that no more prta- toes will be brought from the states. Several years ago it was matter of pride for the people of Fairbanks to boast that the farmers could raise al- most all the potatoes needed. here while today it is an actual fact that outside farmers cannot compete with local growers of spuds. Last year there was an excellent crop of first class potatoes, and this season the farmers report that the spuds will be just as good There is a greater acre. age of potatoes this year than ever before but the crop will be taken care of because of the fact that none will be brought in from the states. Inte- rior Alaska farmers now raise all the cabbage, carrots, potatoes, celery, turnips, parsnips, cauliflower beets and some other vegetables that are used in the interior. The amount of other vegetables grown in the interior IS increasing yearly, and it will be but a short time until practically no vege- t.bles of any kind are brought in from the states.

An Umbrella Exchange.

A company is now in process OF
formation in London which aims at
supplying the public with umbrellas
on loan on much the same principle
as the circulating libraries a1o.t
with regard to books. That is to say,
a subscriber will be able to drop into
one OF the company's depots when it
begins to rain, secure an umbrella,
and utilize it SO long as the necessity
10 do so continues. When tho
weather clears, he can return it to
the same depot, or to another one,
and repeat the process as often as 1t
suits his convenience. The depots
will be established at restaurants,
tobacconists' shops, public houses,
etc. OF course, the umbrella will not
be gold-moxnted or covered with
silk; but they will be good, service
able and slightly articles. The charge
to subscribers, 1t is said, will be only
about one dollar year.

1.1.OOO Shocks.

1t has been very generally be-
lieved that earthquakes ana volca-
noes are in some way connected in
their origin. And it is undoubtedly a
fact that earthquakes usually pre-
cede or accompany volcanic erup-
tions. All the great regions of VOL
canic activity, again, are also CEN
tres of seismic disturbances. At the
same time, there are great areas sub
ject to earthquake shocks, as In In
dia and many parts Of Central Asia,
which are far removed from volcanic
centers. Those who argue for the in
Independence Of the two phenomena
may, however, maintain that the
forces which produce the earth
quakes would, IL more powerful, or il
the earth's crust were thinner, re-
suit in active volcanoes. Comte f.
de Montessus de Ballore maintains
that earthquakes and volcanoes are
independent of each other. This
conclusion Is the result of the COM
parison of large number of records
of earthquakes, the above work con-
tanning references to 171,434 dis
tinct shocks. This Is probably the
largest number which has ever been
collected on this subject.-London

syllables, which can be applied to
most of the words in the French

and to most foreign languages. The
machine Is something like the type
writer in appearance, and the keys
are divided into two rows, ten Of
which are for each hand, and each
time a key is struck a syllable is
written. There is another set of keys
for figures and signs, and also spe-
cial arrangement for changing the
keyboard for a foreign language.
The speed of the machine depends,
of course, entirely on the operator

KOREAN CHARACTERISTICS.
A Peaceable and Hospitable Agri.
cultural People.


That the Korean is uncommercial,
unwarlike and submissive is no
good proof that he is unfit for self
government. He comes of stock en-
tirely different from that Of his two
great eighbors-China, the mer-
chant nation, and Japan, the war
rior-and shows entirely different
characteristics.
The Koreans areessentially an ag-
ricultural people; their customs and
traditions seem to demonstrate that
they were at one time pastoral no.
madic tribes. They are undoubtedly
of Turaian origin, with a strong ad-
mixture of Chinese and Manchu, in
consequence of the many invasions
to which they have been subjected
from the very beginning of their
history, but they seem to lack the
strain of fighting Malay blood which
is 50 evident in the composition oi
the warlike Japanese.
r On the contrary, they are charac-
terized by a peaceable and hospita'
bile disposition, though they have
fought well when they have had to
fight, and have showed themselves
at times far ahead of their neigh
bors in inventive\ genius.-Century

Turpentine Gatherers and Sheep
EertIers of Parts of France.

Turpentlne Gatherers and Sheep
"a, Eerders of Parts of France.
The people live on sixteen foot
stilts in the remarkable turpentine
growing country Of France. They
don these stills after breakfast. They
do not remove them again till 1t Is
time for bed.
There are two reasons for the
wearing of stills in the turpentine
country. One Is the turpentine
gathering. The other is the herding
of great flocks.
The turpentine comes from the
maritime pine. The tree Is tapped, a
shingle is inserted, and from the
shingle is hung a tiny bucket, into
which the turpentine drips. The tap
ping process is like that used on the
American sugar maple.
Young pine trees are tapped low,
but with each years passage the in
cision is made higher up, so that 1t is
not long before most of the trees are
tapped twenty or thirty feet from the
ground.
Hence the huge stills of the work.

yards with each stride, and quickly
and easily collect the turpentine that
overflows the little buckets hanging
high up in the trees.
1t Is for herding also that the stills
are useful. The country is very fiat,
and the herdsman, unless he continu-
ally climbed tree, would be unable
to keep all the members of his huge
flock In sight. But, striding about
on his stills, he commands wide
prospect; he is always, as it were.
upon hill.
The stilt wearers carry fifteen
foot staff with a round, fiat top like
a dinner plate. When it is lunch
time or when they are tired they
plant upright under them the staff
and sit down on its round, fat top.
Then in comfort seated so dizzily
high, they eat and rest and chatter
