Geneva, July 29. The impossibility
of sinking American transports Is
now officially admitted in Germany.

no American transports were being
sent down, Admiral Won HOltzendOrff,
chief of the German naval staff. c.
clared that many persons were de-

1t was better to get other ships and
thus reduce the tonnage, as the Allies
had appropriated part of the neutral
fleets everywhere for carrying food
and munitions.

tested, Robert Grant writes In the
Yale Review. The young men who
push their way forward I'm public con-
veyances retain without conjunction
the seats for which they have strug-
gled.
Here again we have the philosophy
of the tired business man: "I got there
first: we are all equals in the United
States, and I want to read my news
paper" The apotheosis Of naturalness,
and In self-defense we all more or less
subscribe to 1t; but after all. 1t is nat
ural for pigs to struggle for places at

II 1t is impossible to safeguard inde-

that prevailed when society was more

First Introduced Canes.

The Mexicans first used canes In
America. When the Spanish con-
Quered the country, a queer custom
was introduced. The chief executive
of the towns carried stick with a
gold or silver head. 1t was kind
of scepter.
The people, Of course, rarely knew
how to read or write, and when any
one was wanted for crime, one OF
the mayors subOrdinates would take
the cane. find the culprit and place
il horizontally upon the latters chest.
The proceeding was equivalent to
Il summons, and the man had to ap-
pear before the mayor under the pen
atty of being cast into prison. This
action was borrowed from Spain,
where 1t still prevails in the more i'm
portanJ actions.

Small Prescriptions.

Many physicians have habit of
writing prescriptions without calcu-
lating the quantity Of medicine their
patients are to take. This leads to a
great waste of drugs and much un-
necessary expense. Which leads the
New York Medica Journal to urge
physicians to be more careful.
Another evil result OF this far too
common practice. is that partly used
prescriptions are stored away In the
medicine chest, and next time the pa
tient has, or thinks he has, the same
symptoms, he takes what he supposes
to be the same medicine.
But the chief reason why physi-
clans should not prescribe four or six
ounces when they know only one or
two Will be used, is that 1t Is wasting
the drugs and making the patient pay
far more for his medicine than Is at
all necessary.

The MiddIemen.

A farmer raised peck Of wheat
beside the River Dee; a boarder ate
a wheated loaf way down In Ten
nessee; the loaf the boarder fed upon
cost half as much and more as did the
farmers peck of wheat month or so
before. "Now, why is this" the board
er raved, "they hold me up on bread?"
And why is wheat so bloomln' cheap 2"
the plodding farmer said.
A chap beyond the Rocky ridge
raised 20 pounds OF lines; another
one In old New York was kicking on
the times. for he had downed q glass
OF "ade," and. poor forlorn galoot, had
paid one-half the market price of 90
pounds Of fruit. "Now, why Is this.
they soak me thus for this wee sip Of
'ade'?" "And why" exclaimed the
orchard man. "am so poorly paid"

.iANlMAL HABITS NOT CHANGED
:lsheep Run to tho Hills, Hogs Grunt ~
q Signal, Dogs Fashion
| Their Own Bed.

Sheep, when frightened, always run
TO an elevation, because their ances-
tors originally came from the noun
,tains. They always follow a leader,
because in the dangerous mountain
jpasses their ancestors had to go in
single file. Hogs grunt because their
feeding grounds were thick woods.
where they could not see one another.
and sound was necessary to keep them
together.
Dogs have a way OF turning around
several times before they lie down.
This looks very foolish now, but when
they were wild things centuries ago,
they slept In the tall grass and turned
around several times to hollow out
bed, and they have never outgrown
this habit, but to this late day they
will turn around on a rug Just as IL
they were In the tall grass.
Cats have, perhaps, the most traces
of old ancestral habits. Many times
they do have a trace OF the lion or
tiger very near the surface. Their un-
lcertatn temper their purring and grow
Ting, their sudden bounds, their ten
'dency to scratch, all come from the
iforest and the jungle.-Indianapol

as one would think. but scanty shelter
and protection from these stone caves
and holes In the rock, we apply the
generic term Of cliff dwellers.
They were entirely ignorant Of agri-
culture, and subsisted by hunting and
fishing and on the natural products
they found growing In a wild state.
What is very remarkable, at our
very doors can still be seen the typical
houses and handiwork Of those pre-his-
toric tribes in the caves of the LancOs
river In southern Colorado. These, in
most instances, are as well preserved
as when their ancient occupants de-
serted them-perhaps 10000 years
ago. When Inhabited they were reach
ed quite frequently by notches cut in
the rock, and at other times rope lad
ders must have been used.

RUSSIA TO RECLAIM DESERT
Good Pasture Lands Are Destroyed at
the Rate Of One Hundred Thous-
and Acres a Year.

The shifting sands OF Astrakhan and
the measures taken by the Russian
government to deal with this problem
form the subject OF a memoir by J.
G. Firstov, published In Petrograd, OBJ
serves the Scientific American. Ten
million acres of the province In ques-
tion are covered with shifting sands
formed during the nineteenth century
and subsequently. These sands have
been spreading at the rate OF 100000
acres year, the result being the trans
formation Of good pasture land into
barren waste. The principal cause Is
over grazing f1Ocks and herds are kept
so long In one place as To result In the
complete destruction OF the turf. Poor
agricultural methods are also respon-
sible. About the beginning of The pres
ent century the government took meas
ures OF control and reclamation, and
10000 acres was brought under cult
walton. In 1913 specia, service was
ordered to deal with the question.
The province was put under the charge
Of chief forestry officer and divided
into six districts. In each OF which q
subordinate official was appointed to
superintend the work. At the time Of
writing good progress has been made
In planting soil binders and growing
herbaceOus crops. but II was still prob
lematicai whether the province was
adapted to the establishment Of for
ests.

TELLS ABOUT JOHN RANDOLPH
Thomas n. Benton Relates Interview
With Eccentric Man, In Which He
Depicts His Melancholy Mood.

Thomas III. Benton In his "Thirty
Years View" gives an interesting ac-
count of an interview he had with the
eccentric John Randolph Of Roanoke.
The interview was at Mr.. Benton's
room In Crawford's hotel, In George
town. 1t was In the gloom of the eve
ming, before the lamps were lit. Mr..
Randolph, reclining on soft, silent
and thoughtful, repeated, as If to him
self, Johnson's lines on "Senility and
1mbecility," that show his life under
Its most melancholy form:
I'm life's last scenes what prodigies
surprise,
Fears Of the brave and follies of the
wise.
Down Marlborough's eyes the streams
Of dotage flow,
And Swift expires a driveller and
show"
When Mr.. Randolph finished repeat
Ing these lines, Mr.. Benton said to
him: "Mr. Randolph. I have often
heard you repeat these as II they could
have ar application to yourself. while
no one can have less reason than your
self to fear the fate Of Swift"
To this Randolph replied: IT have
lived in dread Of insanity"
While Randolph was not insane in
the ordinary sense Of the word. 1t is
certain that he had occasional tenn
porary alterations OF the mind. and IL
was during such times that his talk
was most brilliant, a copious flow for
hours of wit and classic allusion, a
perfect scattering Of the diamonds Of
the mind.
His will was contested or the ground
Of insanity, but II was not set aside.

body was that Of man OF unusual
