More Popular Geology.

| The United States geological survey
as the center of public information con-
corning the geology of the United States
bears an educational obligation to the
public. 1t has so far, in part, neglected
its opportunity as well as its duty as
an inyestigative branch of the govern
ment to furnish popular information OF
an instructive type regarding this most
lenlightening science. In recognition of
this educational esponsibility and of the
importance of making its work more
generally ineligible and useful to the
private citizen who has not been geologi-
cally educated. several members of the
survey have OF late given more atten-
tion both to the simplification of the
language Of the professional publications
and TO the preparation Of reports that
are popularity descriptive and instruc-
tive, vet also exact and efficient as We
hicles for professional discussion or for
the announcement Of geological discoy-
cries
Conforming to this growing conviction,
the survey has printed on the backs Of
several Of its topographic maps non
technical descriptions of the physical fea
lures Of the area mapped and Of their
origin. The evident appreciation by the
general public Of such explanations Of
theologic features. shown by the in
creased demand for the maps, has en-
couraged the extension Of the practice.
Accordingly. after the publication Of
such matter for the map Of the Crater
lake. National park. Oregon the Bright
ANGEL area in tho Grand Canvun Of Ari-
zoua. has similarly been described, and
descriptions for other areas. including
the Delaware water gap. in Pennsylvania
and New Jersey. are now being prepared. I
This work Is 8 by-pr0duct Of the reolog
Is mapping end therefore involves COM
parstiVely little eNpeuse, but it adds

sUEZ CANAL LOSES.
Dutch Liners to East Indies Said to Be
Scared by Submarine Peril.

London, Jan. 1.-The withdrawal OF
the Dutch liners from the Suez canal to
the East Indies, which goes into effect
to-day viii mean another considerable
falling off in the revenues of the canal
In 1914, vessels of Dutch nationality
held third place, both as regards numbers
and tonnage. Great Britain was first,
with 5000 vessels of 100000 tons; Ger
many came second, with $50 vessels of
2, 100000 tons, and Holland third, with
$50 vessels of 100000 tons.
The official reason given for the diver
sion of the Dutch boats is "the increas-
ing uncertainty of being able to obtain
the necessary coal at the appointed sta
tons" but shipping men in London think
that the decision was more likely due TO
German submarine activity in the Med
iterranean ports. There Is no shortage
in the supply. The price for January
at Port Said win be about $22 per ton,
as compared with $3.50 before the war,
but, owing to the withdrawal of many
vessels which used the Suez route in nor
NAL times, the reserves at the eoaling
stations are very large.

AsToNIsHINGLY LOW RATES
Being Charged by Government for Elec-
tricity in Idaho Towns.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 1.-The gov.
eminent is selling electricity for heating
purposes at astonishingly low rates in
the thriving Idaho towns OF Rupert and
Burnley, where thrsa out of every four
buildings and homes, large and small, are
being heated by electricity, Current for
81 to Sl.25 per month per kilowatt of ca
pacity is being supplied as a by-product
from the governments waterfower plant
installed by the reclamation service on
the Minidoka recls mation project. The
primary purpose of the plant located at
the diversion dam on the Snake river
near Minidoka is to pump water for the
irrigation of about $4,000 acres of land
too high to be covered by gravity canals.
The water has to be lifted about 20 feet
and to do this 10000 horsepower are re-
quired during the summer irrigation sea
son. In winter, however the greater
part of this power would be wasted were
ii not for the development OF electric
heating and this accounts for the low
rates charged by the government for
power. The revenue from heating would
show A loss if heating were the only pur-
pose of the plant. Sold as a by-product
from an installation required for other
purposes, electric heat is helping to carry
the cost of operation as well as serving
the cause Of conservation.
Rupert for year had been using cleo
tricity in its high school, housing 600 pu
pills, for heating and yentilating and Bur-
ley has equipped new school for 1000
pupils with an elaborate and thoroughly
modern heating plant. Hot water for the
entire building is heated electrically, and
the domestic science department has a
outfit Of electric hot plates for
use OF individual students as well as a
large electric range. These facilities are
utilized by pupils coming from distances
in preparation of midday luncheons. !
Burley, a hustling town Of about 5000
people, stands on ground that eight years
ago was part OF a sage brush desert.

TAKE CARE oF THE BIRDS.

The National Association of Audubon
Societies, for the protection of wild birds
and animals, has sent out an appeal in
behalf of the birds, calling attention to
the fact that deep snow covers their
usual feed such an insects eggs and
Larvae and the seeds of weeds, necessitat-
ing that there be food supplies from
some other sources. The association sug-
gests that the birds be given hayseed,
chat from the barn floors, crumbs, scraps
of meat, bones and suet and promises
that the birds win repay thousand fold
by their work in the garden and orchard
next spring. The agent of the associa-
ton emphasizes that the feeding of the
birds is not only philanthropy but a good
business proposition as well. The sug-
gestions are most timely, and we pass
them along to our readers. with the ex.
pectation that the bird life will be sus-
tanned as much as possible during the
months now at hand.
