Trees in Greenland.

Lofty trees once grew in Greenland and nearly all of the inhospitable northern lands. Trees of the same sorts as are growing today are found as fossil remains in countries where the climate is now so harsh that scarcely any tree will grow even 8 few inches high.

Two Heroes Remembered.

Jasper county, Indiana, was named in honor of Sergeant Jasper of the Revolutionary army because of his spe- cial patriotism and bravery. He was q sergeant in South Carolina regiment and in the attack on Fort Moultrie. early fin the war; the flagstaff was shot off and tho flag fell to the bottom of the ditch outside of the works. Jump ing from one of the embrasures, Jasper mounted the colors. tied them to staff and held them in position under a hot fire until another flagstaff was brought For this commission was offered him but he declined it through distrust of his qualifications. On nn- other occasion he ana another sergeant named Newton attacked British guard of ten men and released some prisoners the guard were conveying to Savannah. A township in Casper coun- ty is named Newton In honor of Jas per's companion on this occasion. A county in Georg.a and q central square In Savannah help to perpetuate Jas per's name.

 Comic Cookery.
 To boil an egg. you first catch the egg. Never take any of the 13 eggs under the hen. Having caught ths egg, prepare a kettle 0t water hot enough to shave with, but don't stop to shave. You continue to heat the water while peeling the Ngg. An GEE should be peeled from left to right, al- ways, as otherwise you peel against the grain. Catch the water at pre-. cisely I6C degrees Fahrenheit. whic,, you can ascertain by inserting the iE- dex finger in the kettle. Then with hammer, nails. and tongue-and-groose boards construct tlncll chute. oi slide, which you can attsSch to the cell lug, leaving the lower end to swing in the kettle. You then roll the peeled egg down the chute iare the water. You may then throw away the chute. Allow the egg to boil until completely finished, soft, medium, or adamant, to suit the taste.

 This table holds good for the meats that will be used in the spring If desired to keep later in the summer or fall they should be kept in the pickle 20 per cent more days than the table calls for, and handled lit tie differently. Instructions will be given on request. The curing period table. as given, is based on the weather being about forty degrees. If the average weather is above 40 degrees. lessen the curing days. as the meats will take more salt in warm weather than in cold wealth CT; or, if the weather Is less than 40 degrees, then use more days in cur ing, as the colder the weather, the less salt it will take. It is impossible to give a fixed rule for curing periods when the weather is variable; you must use your own judgment in this matter.

OBJECTS TO "BLOOD TAXI

DUBLIN, July 3.--Thc Mansion House

night issued the message sent to Presi-
dent Wilson through Ambassador Page
in London. The document is lengthy
and recounts all the we'll known grieV-
arces concerning British misgovernment
in Ireland. 1t asks sympathetic judg-
ment from the United States at n time
when Great Britain, which strovc
century and half ago to crush the
American colonies TO- asserting the
principle Of no taxation without the
consent Of its representatives, now
threatens to crush the Irish people un-
less they consent to a blood tax against
the protests of their representatives.
The document emphasizes that up un-
I'll the year 1900 the privilege OF free
citizens to bear arms in self-defence al
ways had been refused to Ireland and
continues:
During the American Revolution the
champions OF your liberties appealed to
the Irish Parliment against British ag-
gression. To-day it is our turn to ap-
peal TO America. To-day, as in the days
of George Washington, nearly half of
the American forces have been furnished
from the descendants of our banshed
race.

To Be Good on Any Roads
Cent Basic Rate.
Special Despatch to TIE suS.

wAsuINoroN. July 3.-Universal mile
age tickets to be sold at the basic rate
of 2 cents a mile are to be Issued by all
Of the Government operated railroads
August 1 or as soon after that date
as practicable.
These scrip tickets will be good not
only on all Government lines. but they
will be accepted in payment for Pullman
berths, for other Pullman accommoda-
tions, for excess baggage and all other
charges 1t Is believed that their issue
will not only be a great convenience to
the public but Will greatly simplify rail-
road accounting between the various
lines, and work ticket selling and other
economies
The mileage scrip tickets are to be
issued first in 1000 mile groups, but
larger ones will be issued II they are
demanded by the public.
The war tax will be collected by con-
ductors at the time of the presentation
Of the mileage scrip.
Each coupon will represent the value
of 8 cents. thus making the coupons
usa BILE for all charges by simple COM
putation.
Persons taking long trip will be
omy to themselves. on long trips when
the Journey can be mide by one or more
roads all fares are to be on the basis
OF the short haul route.
For instance, the fare for the New
York to Chicago trip is on the short
line basis. IL person elects to take
the long route and pays by mileage ths
cost will be greater than II travelling
on q trip ticket.

PEACE TO END
WIRE CONTROL
BY NEW PLAN
House Interstate Commit
tee Agrees on Telegraph
and Telephone Measure.
QUICK ACTION EXPECTED
Cable and Radio Lines Also to
Be Placed Under Presi-
dents Rule.
Special Despatch TO THE SuN.

WASHINGTON. July 3.-Limitation Of
Government control of telegraph and
telephone systems to the period of the
war was virtually assured to-day when
the House Interstate Commerce Com
mittee. in an executive session, substi-
tuted for the Aswell resolution one
drawn by Representative Sanderson
La.) granting the President power to
operate the systems "in time of war"
Tho Aswell resolution provided no
time when the telephone and telegraph
systems should be turned back to their
private owners and empowered the
President at any time for public rea-
sons" to take over and operate tho sys-
TENS. This the majority of the COM
| mittee insisted was too broad in its
scope and would give the Chief Execu-
| tive power to keep the systems under
the direction and control OF the Govern
ment long after the war emergency had
pa lssed and possibly forever. The new
resolution was adopted by the commit
tee finally without dissent from any Of
its members.
"Until Peace Is RatiAed."
Representative Coady (Md) offered
an amendment to the new resolution pro-
| viding that the President should turn
| the companies back to private owner
| ship six months after the establishment
Of peace. This motion was beaten in
committee, . to 8.
The new resolution after the resolv-
! ing clluse reads as follows:
That the President in time OF war
is authorized and empowered to super
| wise or take possession and assume cou-
troll of any telegraph, telephone, marine
| cable or radio system or systems or any
| part thereof and to operate the same In
such manner as may be needful or de-
siraple for the duration of the war.
| which supervision. possession. control or
operation shall not extend beyond the
date of the proclamation by the Presi-
dent of the exchange or ratification OF
a treaty of peace: Provided that just
compensation shall be made fer such
supervision, possession, control or op'
Grafton"
The report was widespread and unde-
| MED in the House to-day that the Presi-
| dent has let 1t be known that ne de-
sires the enactment OF the resolution
by Congress Just as soon as possible
This probably means that the resolution
will be passed by the House Friday OF
Saturday. Naturally the Senate VIII
take longer time.
Just Compensation Provided.
The new resolution was not approved
by the House Interstate Commerce
Commission until it had been 80 drawn
that general provision was made thai
Just compensation should be given the
telegraph and telephone companies dur
ing the time they are operated by the
Government.
As the resolution now is drawn l!ttl'
opposition, and in fact little debate II
expected when 1t comes before tine
House. The temper OF the House is no
to refuse whatever the President feel
Is an essential to the military success!
of the nation, and as the need for th'
resolution has been placed on ina
ground 1t Is expected to go through.

This is important in view of Chlna's
removal OF her embargo against the land
or water transport OF food and goods to
Russia. China tustities her action on
the grounds that imports into Russia
can have no influence on the war, that
the Chinese in Russia have suffered on
account of the embargo, and that the
Chinese commercial interests are being
severely punished.
IT Is known that cargoes from China
composed of the commodities which Ger
many most needs have been sent up the
Sungari and Amur rivers to be trans
shipped east of Lake Baikal to the
Siberian railroad.
Fear Goods Will Reach Germans.
The policy of helping the siberians
with food and goods would be excellent
II the Allies were certain that these sup
plies actually reach the native popula-
t!on. but It is known that large stocks
OF coffee. leather. fats and oils which are
reaching Irku:sk from Vladivostok were
shipped westward. with every probabil-
ity that they would benefit the Germans
rather than the Russians.
