AIaska,s Great Frost Depth.

The depth of permanently frozen soil
in polar and subpolar regions is sub
ject of perennial interest, concerning
which few data are available. In nu-
merous excavations made in placer
mining in Alaska the ground is per-
manently frozen to great depths, be.
ginning IS inches or feet below the
surface.
In the Klondike, according to the
geological survey, the alluvium is fro
zen to depth of about 200 feet. At
Fairbanks permanent ground frost has
been found at mary places to a depth
of more than 200 feet, and the deep
est shaft there penetrated 31S feet of
frozen alluvium. In Seward peninsula
many holes in permanently frozen al
luvium are more than 70 feet deep and
one is nearly 200 feet deep.
On the other hand, some ground in
this region is not frozen, for reasons
not understood. According to Dr. A.
II. Brooks, when the moss is stripped
from the soil the ground thaws, and
with open cut mining or cultivation
the upper level of permanent ground
frost seems gradually to descend. 1t is
therefore believed that the ground
frost is survival of a climate colder
than the present one and is preserved
by the nonconducting mat of moss and
other getation.-Scientific American.

TRYS TO DISCOURAGE
FOOD PRODUCTION

The latest rumor intended to dis
courage food production comes from
Colorado, where according to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, farmers are being told that the
Government will tax broom corn and
other crops from IS to Sc an acre.
This latest lie is ridiculous, according
to the Department and the Bureau of
Internal Revenue. ID. c. Roper, In
ternal Revenue Commissioner, states
that there is no foundation for it. Such
taxes, it is explained, can be levied
only by an Act of Congress.
The Department of Agriculture
warns against further attempts to dis
courage production by the circula-
ton of rrmors. Farmers and others
who hear such rumors concerning
food production are urged to COM
municate at once with their local au-
thorities or county agents in order
that action may be taken to suppress
them.

SEE NO MORAL Law
PruSsians Naturally crueI-Civi-
lization Has Bad Effect.
Code Provides That Success Justifies
Any Means the State Would
Choose 20 Employ.

Goethe said, s'The Prussian is by
nature cruel; civilization win make
him ferocious." Goethe was pro-
Decentralization, as far as 1t can
affect the Prussian, has made him fe-
rociouS, and conceit has rendered him
inyulnerable to reform, writes Angus
tus Thomas of the Vigilantes. Through
scores of years congenital megaloma.
mia has been craftily fed and aug
mented by official and philosophical
and literary and religious reiteration
of German greatness until the idea
has become national hypnosis.
This treatment has left the Pan
German Imagination with only a cap
tive fiexibility of the dachshund va
riety, so near the ground that it seems
to have been born under a bureau.
Present Pan-Germany cannot see with
its arrested spiritual development
that its kaiser, as Emerson said of
Napoleon is doomed to ultimate defeat,
because he is fighting against the moral
law of the universe.
They don't recognize moral law.
They can't even see it; dense ma
terialism has covered their organs of
spiritual perception.
1t is their philosophy that success
justifies any means the state may EN-
ploy; that the foulest methods are
sterilized and made sweet by victory.
They believe themselves divinely APP
pointed in this world to put "Deutsch-
land uber alles."
That conquest is good title.
That If you seize and take away the
machinery from the factories of an in
vaded nation you can then arrest and
deport the workmen for the crime of
idlenesS.
That if you first take the peoples
food until they cry for bread, you may
then lessen the demand by carrying
their young and able-bodied women in
to ominous and unreporting silence.
That the benign laws of "spurlos
versenkt" make Prussia the residuary
legatee.
That it is amusing to submerge u
boat when captured merchant sailors
are locked outside upon the deck.
That chloride gas is proper weapon
if the wind is blowing towards France
but that 1t is contrary to international
law If it is blowing toward Germany.
That they may cruelty a Canadian
if they take him captive but that IL he
captures them the cry of 'Kamerad"
puts him on his honor.
That to break bread with man is
the safest prelude to his assassination,
and that an ambassadors honorable
exemption from police visitation makes
him an ideal 'fence."
America must be made to realize
this code. She must be shown the
map of Frederick the Great and then
its black encroachment upon the sur
rounding nations that one by one have
been "assimilated."
She must learn that 1t is the Prus-
sian instinct not to visit, but to over
run; to extend a sinister greeting with
the left hand and with the right hand
to spread the gangrene of bribery and
betrayal, occupation and indemnity.

as tiny eel-like creatures and have a
short, free life in the sea, after which
they fasten themselves to a rock and
begin to develop. They grow into all

After this had occurred sev. eral nights and the fathers sleep was disturbed thereby, he questioned his son as to the cause of so much squeal- ing and tumult.
 In mute finger language, the son e.. plained that he had purposely refrain ed from feeding the pigs at night. Naturally, his father grew indignant on hearing this, and. stamping his loot. demanded the cause of such willful neglect. The son, not in the least of- fected by his fathers anger, replied {:
