Do You Know

That it cost the State of New York
about 100000 to take the vote of its
guardsmen on the border?
That it cost New York City about
$4,000 to canvass 4,014 such ballots?
That in one district II out of 81 bal
lots were blank, and in another five out
of ten were faulty?
That in speaking of this great ex-
pense "The New York Times" said edi-
torially: "The size Of this amount is
not an argument for depriving the sol
diers of their votes, but it is an argu-
ment for devising simpler and cheap
er method than the one we have?
But that the added cost of elections
is one of 'The Times's" favorite argu-
ments for depriving women of their
vote?

Well, it's great thing to live in these
chivalrous non-suffrage states.
In Massachusetts, the other day a de-
cision says that woman cannot collect
damages against a purveyor of bad
meat, even if she is made i'll by it. Why
not? Because she buys as an agent for
her husband, and Cannot hold the seller
liable in damages as for breach of war
ranty. since no contractual relation ex
lists between them"
And in New York a well-to-do but
voteless queen has just been sent to the
workhouse for refusing to support the
children of her son by a marriage of
which she disapproved.
Just fancy if we gained the vote, and
lost these privileges!

Substitute for Olive Oil.

The production of sim-sim of sem.
sem (Sesamum indicum) seed is an
important agricultural endeavOr on the
East coast and in the interior lake
districts of Africa. The total exporta-
ton of this product from the protec-
torates of British East Africa and
Uganda during the fiscal year ended
March 81, 1915, (the last available de-
tailed statistics), amounted to 3,134 800
pounds, valued at $1O2,S2 Of which
amount about 20 per cent was pro-
duced in Uganda and the remainder
on the coastal plain Of British East
Africa.
In that year % per cent of these ex.
ports went to India, % per cent to
Alden, 10 per cent to Italy, Is per cent
to Italian Somaliland, and most Of the
balance to Zanzibar and France. In
former years Germany was the largest
purchaser Of this product, which is q

it should be understood, do not repre-
sent the total production of sim.sim
within the territory mentioned mas

CITY ! 7 IS HIGH IN THE AIR
owai'or; Capital Of Native Indian
State, Built on Top Of Rock 500
-.... Feet In Height.

South of Agra in the hot half.desert
country of central India a great rock
looms out Of the fiat plain. The sides
Of the butte, as 1t would be called in
the Rocky Mountain country, rise
sheer for about 800 feet, and the area
Of Its surface Is large enough to sup
port a city, tits about two miles long
by quarter Of mile in breadth.
This is Gwalior, the capital Of a ma.
tive Indian state under British domin-
alton, and once one of the strongest
military positions in India. "a
Two other cities are instantly called
to mind by the sight of Gwalior-one,
the neighbor city of Chitor, perched on
its rock to the southwest, the other
the Pueblo indian village of Acoma,
just half way around the world In the
New Mexico desert. All three of them
were picked for their military value,
and all three have outlived their use
fulness.
A narrow winding road cut out Of
the rock leads, from the plain to the
citadel above. At the top of the road
is the beautiful painted palace, its ex-
terror tiled over with ornamented,' high
~ glazed tiles Of a workmanship
whose secret has been lost. Color and
design are each perfect after their
fashion, making the palace one of the
sights of India. Inside, alas, 1t is not
sight but smell. The bats, the
multitudinous Indian bats, have taken
possession; they swarm here as In no
other, place for. hundreds Of miles
around, and no creature with nose
can remain to admire the interior of
the painted palace.

PROPHETS. FAME
COULD NOT AVERT
:. KNIFE Of SYRIAN
Son of the Orient Given Five
Years in Penitentiary for
Staying Comrade

: Cavalier, y. d., June 1S.--JOe Scion
was given five years in district court
for the killing of fellow Syrian, Ali
Scion, the slayer testified, fell with a
tale Of Mahomet on his lips. Although
the killing, Scion claimed was acct
dental, he nevertheless sought to con-
ceal the tragedy by dumping the goods
out of his pedler's trunk and stutting
dead Ali in in their place, and driving
on his way. Sitting on top Of the
trunk. which contained all that was
mortal of Ali, he stopped Wayfarers
whom he met on the road to ask them
if they had seen his partner. Finally
he dropped the trunk and its sorry
contents in the brush at the roadside,
wher it was found, buried in the snow,
some time later The two Scions were
cousins, reared together in Syria and
had long operated in this section of
North Dakota.
The Staying took place in deserted
trail on Christmas eve last. Scion's
statement on the stand, told in halt
ing and picturesque English, with the
gestures and idom of the orient, was
intensely dramatic. He protested
throughout the trial that the shooting
was accidental; that the gun was dis
charged while he was attempting to
empty the chamber, and that fear as
to his fate in a strange country led
him to attempt to conceal the body
instead of Immediately notifying the
ticularly dreaded, he declared, the
vengeance of his own people, Of the
nearby Syrian colony.

SEA WATER FOUND IN LAYERS
Lower Strata Contain Less Dissolved
Oxygen and This Has Influence
on Fish Life.

Land animals breathe in oxygen with
the air. Fish get it, but less of it, Of
course, dissolved in water. Messrs.
]. w. Sale and w. w. Skinner re.
ported in paper presented at a meet
ing of the American Chemical society
that the lower layers Of certain tidal
waters contained less dissolved oxygen
than the upper layers.
They show this to be due to the
greater specific gravity of the under
layers compared to those above them.
In other words, the water Is found
in strata, according to it's weight, and
this prevents an up-and-down circula-
ton. When we recognize that the
oxygen is also depleted by other
agencies there is sometimes found to
he very little Of it In the lower layers.
The depletion is greatest in septem-
Der. &~
