IS VERY THlNLY POPULATED
South America, With 7,276,O0c square
Miles of Territory, Has Only
$4,000, 900 Inhabitants.

South America is thinly populated.
The Spanish and Portuguese govern
ments, which divided South America
between themselves in 1894, made lit
lie effort to attract immigration of
their own people and denied admission
to peoples of other lands. The lands
were administered as crown colonies.
Large land grants were made to court
favorites. There was little opportu-
nifty for individual enterprise, even IL
the continent had been open to enter
prising men,
1t was only after the Latin repub-
lies had thrown off the rule of Spain
and Portugal that South America
threw open her doors to the immigra-
ton of the world. But revolutions and
epidemlcs deoimated the populations,
and the continuance of the great land
holdings, which were just being brok-
en- up, prevented the close setting of
the country, so that even now South
America, with an area of 7,276,0OO
square miles as against North Amer
lca's 3,559,999, has a population OF
only about 100000.
Yet she has millions of acres of soil
as rich as the world knows, and mines
whose richness passes belief, and wa
terways reaching to the heart of the
continent, and opportunities almost I'M
measured.

The earliest placer mining in the
Alaskan part of the Yukon basin was
done on the bars of Fortymile river in
1886, and during the next two years
hundreds Of miners came to the scene
Of the discovery. This event opened
up inland Alaska and led to the dis
covery Of the famous Klondike placers,
on the Canadian side of the boundary,
some ten years later. Over $200O0O,-
600 worth of gold has been taken out
Of the Klondike and the Alaska
Yukon placer camps In the 80 years
since Fortymile was discovered. OF
this about $6,500,O0O worth of gold
has come from the Fortymile district.

GERMANS BEATEN
IN MASS ATTACK
BRITISH REcAPTURE BULLE-
COURT AFTER DAYS OF MOST
INTENSE FIGHTING or YEAR.
Frenchmen also victors In Furious
Encounters, Causing Heavy casu-
altIes to Germans and Taking
Many Prisoners.

London.-After days of intensive
fighting, In which positions have
changed hands numerous times, the
British troops have recaptured the
greater portion Of Bullecourt and re-
pulsed violent counterattacks by the
Germans east of the village.
Along the Scarpe river, east of Ar
ras, there also have been sanguinary
encounters, but again the advantage
rested with Field Marshal Haig's
forces. Portions Of Roeux have been
taken by the British and another step
forward has been gained by them on
the western slopes Of Greenland hill.
There has been no let-up In the
fighting, which has been going on
since the spring offensive began.
Eleven German airplanes were ac-
counted for Saturday by the British.
The British lost six machines.
On the southern end Of the line held
by the French the Germans Sunday
morning made strong attacks on the
plateau Of Craonne, on the sector north
of Rheims and In the region of Mai
sons de Champagne. Not alone did the
French put down all three attacks with
the fire of their artillery and rifles
causing heavy casualties, but they
pushed back the German line and in
addition made prisoners.
There is still no indication Of the
approach of any fighting Of moment
between the Austro-Germans and Rus
slams on the eastern front from the
Baltic sea to Roumania. Along this
entire line the operations consist
merely of small skirmishes and recon
naissances.
In Macedonia violent artillery duels

OYSTERS FORCED TO WORK
Japanese Scientist coneeIves idea Of
Teaching" 5lvaIves to Pro-
duce Pearls.

The Japanese conduct great oyster
farms where the blvalves are taught
to make pearls. 1t was Doctor Mkt
motto, well-known scientist, who
conceived the idea that oysters might
be educated and made to work for man.
After many years of costly expert
mentation he discovered the method in
use today.
The farm has an AREA of about so
square miles and the water varies in
depth from 5 to 10 fathoms. The farm
er selects the spots where the larvae
of oysters are most numerous and then
he plants small rocks and stones.
These are soon covered with oyster
spat. They are then removed and
placed In special beds, where they lie
undisturbed until the third year.
1t is said that an oyster will not pro.
duce pearl unless 1t be irritated by
some foreign substance. AS soon as It
feels this 1t proceeds to cover It with
nacre, layer on layer, until after a few
years 1t has made a pearl. When large
enough the oysters are taken from
their beds and carefully opened; tiny
speck Of some foreign substance is in
PRODUCED into their bodies, and they
are replaced in the sea. BY the end of
from three to five years the oyster has
coated the foreign substance with
nacre and this has become pearl.

LENGTH or WIRELESS WAVE
Naturally It Is Four Times That Of
the Aerial, but This Does Not
Always Hold Good.

In articles of wireless telegraphy
such expressions as 2OO-meter wave
lengths, 6O0-meter wavelengths, I5.-
0O0-meter wave-lengths are constantly
used. In reply to correspondent who
asks how the length of the waves is
measured the Scientific American gives
the following simple explanation:
THE length of an electric wave is
determined by wave-meter. The NAT
ural wave-length of an aerial Is four
times its linear length, just as the
wave-length of a note OF closed or.
gan pipe 10 four times the length of the
pipe, and the wave-Iength of the note
of a tuning fork is four times the
length of the box which is reasonant
with the note. However, other con-
siderations make it difficult to measure
the Wave-length by a rule, and the
wave-meter gives a more correct re.
suit than can be found by measuring
the length of the wire"

IS TO Treble
OUR SHIP TONNAGE
GOVERNMENT HOPES TO TURN
OUT FIVE MILLION TONS IN
YEAR AND A HALF.
BY Speeding Up Construction Il Is
Hoped to Furnish Enough New
Ships TO Meet all Legitimate
Demands Of Shipping.

Washington.-Th ADMINISTRATORS
plans for trebling within eighteen
months Americas ship tonnage avail
able for transatlantic service were
outlined to the senate commerce com
mittee on May ID by Chairman Dem
man Of the shipping board. Bills ask
ing an initial appropriation of $780,
100000 for the purpose will be intro
duced within a few days.
BY speeding up construction under
powers requested in the bills the ship
ping board hopes to turn out in year
and half 100000 tons Of vessels in
addition to the 100000 actually build
Ing now. The country's steel mills
have assured the board of an abund-
ance of steel for the work and every
effort will be made to keep yards OPP
Grating at topmost speed.
Under an arrangement reached with
the British government, most of the
vessels now building in this country
for foreign account will be taken over
by the board even If congress fails to
give the board specific power to requi-
sition them. A greater part of the
tonnage now on American stocks owned
by foreigners has been bought by Brit
ish interests.
The bills would give the board the
widest powers in directing American
shipping and would permit diversion
of any ships not actually necessary In
coastwise trade to transatlantic SER
vice.

THIRTEEN SUBMARINES PUT OUT

Allies Making Roadway in Operations
Against Warfare on Shipping,
Germans Admitting Loss of
Number of Submarines.

Washington.-Advices to the Italian
embassy here on May Il announced
that thirteen Austrian submarines had
been sunk in the Adriatic by italian
patrols during the previous week. The
same dispatches. giving no date, say
that for the fourth time in a year the
Italian destroyers have penetrated the
fortified port of Durazzo, sinking four
transports loaded with provisions and
ammunition. The destroyers returned
unscratched.
The increasing efficiency of the al

rotary of the navy in the reichstag on
May 10. Official accounts of the
speech reaching here report the Ger
man secretary as saying that while
the submarine warfare had achieved
far greater results than was expected,
a certain number of submarines had
been lost as the result of improved
means of destruction devised by the
allies.
Both French and British statistics
on submarine sinking during the last
week show a certain Improvement in
the situation, says Marcel Hutin, a

Llnht on Obscure Law.

A clay tablet bearing map Of an
cient Babylon, which has just been
discovered, throws, according TO DIR.
Stephen Fl. Langdon of the University
Of Pennsylvania museum. "a welcome
light upon an obscure law in the great
law code of Babylonia. In column
XIV, lines 65 following, there is ref
erence to the custom of blowing
horn at the village gates to notify
shepherds that the grazing season was
over. These rural villages appear to
have been SO arranged that the village
buglers were able to make the shep-
herds and farmers hear the sound of
the horn in every part Of Babylonia."
The tablet dates back probably to
1900 B. G.
