immigration Promises to
Set New Record-SmaIIest
Since the Colonial DAYS


When the present fiscal year ends,
June 80, it is highly probable that q
new immigration record will be set
the smallest since colonial days. says
the Washington Herald.
immigration statistics of the first
six months indicate that the years
total may be less than 100000 persons.
For the half-year ending January 1,
1918, only 57,715 came to America, and
since then the monthly totals have
dwindled to few thousands.
The war, Of course, is responsible.
The real dwindling began when the
United States entered the war. Since
that day only one country has sent
anything like the normal number of
immigrants. That is Japan, which
country now leads all nations in send
ing immigrants to America. Japanese
this year will reach $4,000
as against 1925 in 1917, Sill in 1916
and 5000 in 1915.

Boy Scouts Are Appealed
to by President to Help
Find Black Walnut Trees.

President Wilson's appeal to the Boy
Scouts of America to help win the war
by locating supplies of black walnut
trees has been followed by arrange
mentS under which the war depart
ment, the forest service, and the boy
scout organization have joined efforts
to find the needed timber.
AS President Wilson pointed out,
the war department program makes
the securing of black walnut lumber
for use in manufacturing airplane pro-
pellers and gunstocks of the utmost
Importance. War department and for
est service officials are combing the
country for black walnut timber, which
can no longer be found in abundance
anywhere but has to be culled, often
as single trees, from mixed forest
growths. Much of the black walnut
that is left is in farmers woodlots, and
it is primarily to locate this that the
ice.
Many thousands of blanks and let
tiers of instructions are being printed
by the government for distribution to
scouts and scout masters throughout
the region in which black walnut oc-
ours in commercial quantities. Indi-
vidual trees may be found as far east
as Connecticut, northward in New
York to and beyond the Canadian line,
southwark almost to the Gulf of Next
CO, and westward far into the prairie
states, but the Ohio and Mississippi
valley states, the middle Atlantic
states, and the southern Appalachian
region are expected to furnish most Of
the supply. IS reports are turned in
by the scout masters, they will be tab
ulated by the forest service and re-
ported to the war department..

DAYS OF BLACK
MAGIC ARE PAST
Old Conjurer's Shop in New York
City Is Closed for Lack
of Trade.
FEW MAGICIANS LEFT
Faklrs In Far Off India Still Stick to
Illusions That Amused and Mys-
tilted Public Throughout
World.

New York.-Black magic, known
also as the art of legerdemain, is pass
ing. Its somber hue has faded into
pale gray. Soon, it is predicted, it will
have disappeared in the white page of
oblivion. Francis Martinka says so
and Francis Martinka knows. For SO
years Martinka manufactured the in
struments which the artists in leger-
domain used for the bewilderment and
amusement Of audiences, manufac-
tured and sold them in his old curios-
ity shop on Sixth avenue. Now he
has sold his old conjurer's shop and re-
tired with his memories, simply be-
cause the trade is dwindling. Virtual
ly the only call worth mentioning
comes from fakirs in India, and they,
too, appear to be going out of bust
DeSs. a ssEkl al
During the early years Of his BUSH
ness career Martinka travelled about
the world from England to Cape Col
ony, from San Francisco to Ceylon, to
study the methods and instruments of
those who practiced sleight of hand.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1918-07-19

He regards Hermann and Kellar as
the greatest magicians the world has
known. With their passing the art de-
clined, and while there are some clever
fnagicians still living, the public is in
different to their skill, as is evidenced
by the small audiences they draw to
see their Illusions. 'ssss:sss ;ss 49, .sss.1
No Call for the Best Tricks.
The proof of the passing of legerde-
main, in the opinion of Martinka, is
found in the decline of sales Of the
best tricks. o.
In Kellar's time Martinka sold a
cannon from which men seemed to be
shot for $500. 1t was his best toy.
The cheapest was a ten-cent pack of
cards. In these days Of the decline
Of magic some Of the best tricks bring
only $1S and 500.
A fundamental proposition of leger-
domain is that the hand must be quick
er than the eye.
Occasionally courts have been mys-
titled by the apostles of magic. There
is legend Of the English court at
Lucknow, India, bewildered by an Eng
fish woman who had been arrested
for swindling. She had been placed
In Jail. While the attorney for the
crown was pleading another case a
quail flew in at the window and hoped
about the floor, unaffrighted by the
presence Of humans, busily picking up
imaginary grains. -assesessr-r-s'~
Remove the Bird" ordered the
court.
"Shoo," said the court crier.
Whereupon the quail vanished and
in its place stood man, one Of pres
ence so imposing that the court dared
not say "shoo." In the confusion which
followed the man disappeared. Neither
man, woman nor quail has since been
seen in the court room at Lucknow.
No Magicians at Convention.
Back Of Martinka's conjurer shop in
New York is small theater with seats
for 100 persons. In it in former years
gathered the annual conventions of the
American Society of Magicians. From
the stage of the theater a beautiful
young woman once rose in the air, ap-
parently defying the laws of gravita-
ton. Gardens of beautiful flowers
that seemed to bloom out of the air
were first disclosed to view. On this
stage rapping hands knuckled mes
sages to the amazed and spirit cabi- |
nets yielded their mystifying contents.
These are only few of the mysteries
presented in this theater. But the |
group of magicians finally dwindled |
to corporal's guard. Finally the last
scheduled for Carnegie
hall, had to be called off because no
magician could be found to conduct |
he performance.

The Papyrus Plant.

In the story told by Mrs. Williams,
mention is made Of papyrus, which
was called 'papu" in the time when
the mummy of her story lived. From
that word came the Greek "papuros"
and our English word paper" The
historian Herodotus called it 'bublos"
and from this the old Greeks got
word 'biblion," meaning book, which
we have carried on into our word
Bible" Go to good dictionary and
you will find long list of words be-
ginning with ''biblio" and they are all
connected with books.

Labor Conditions That Exist in

AMERICA FIGHTING OWN WAR
Purpose Is 20 obviate the Kaisers
Dominance and His Desire to
Germanize Our Industries.
BY EDWARD MOTT wooLLEY.

BY EDWARD MOTT WOOIIEY.
IRON the Committee on Public Informa-
ton. Washington, D. CO.
When heard 1T said that the United
States is fighting the war for France
or England pictured in my mind some
of the things that would happen here
in America If our industries were
Germanized. Optimism is mighty
fine thing, and it is easy to say that
Germany could never get foothold in
this country. Certainly we believe
that it never can-and we are bending
all our energies to prevent such dire
possibility; but a little pessimism at
times may help clinch our purpose, so
let us visualize American industry re-
duced to the German and Austrian
plane.
These countries-and am speaking
now of normal times preceding the
WARFARE amazingly different industri-
ally from this country of ours. We
can scarcely deny that the reason for
this lies In no small degree in the
difference in governments. Germany,
with its autocratic grip on all bust
ness, its secret as well as open ma
nipulation of corporations. it's partner
ship in combinations, and it's military
dominance of all industry and of all
men, would strangle us if she had the
chance over here.
We are fighting to keep her out. We
must keep her out, and in doing so we
fight our own war.
Not long after the beginning of the
war in 1914 mace some studies Of
European wages. 1t was too late then
to get my data on the spot, for Ger
many, Austria and France were on
fire and all industry was upset, but
spent several weeks in digging
through official European documents
and in getting facts from men who
had been managing factories in Eu-
rope; also from workmen who had
been employed in foreign plants. To
see these men personally 1 made jour
neys of hundreds of miles.
