Brick Piers Show Strength.

The National Brick Manufacturers
association and the United States
government have co-Operated in some
very interesting experiments to dem
onstrate the strength of brick piers
Tests were made on forty-six piers 81
inches by 80 Inches by 10 feet high
and four supplementary piers OF the
same crosS-sectionai dimensions by
Ave feet high. Transverse, compress
sion and absorption tests were made
on each lot of bricks used. The bricks
used were representatives of four dis
tricts east of the Mississippi river
two or more grades of brick being
obtained from each district. Three
kinds of mortar were used In the be-
ginning and three grades Of bond and
workmanship employed throughout the
investigation. This report, under title
"The Strength of Brick Piers" is now
ready for distribution, and those in
terested may obtain copy by ad
dressing a request to the bureau OF
standards.

WRONG IN THEIR PREDICTION
Arctic Explorers Long Ago Held Be-
lief That Eskimos Would Be
Wiped From the Earth.

One hundred years ago Sir John
Ross navigated his ship through Mel
vile bay and arrived at the edge OF
the ice field attached to the shores. To
his amazement black dots were seen
rapidly approaching over the vast ex-
panse of ice. What could they bel
Eskim0s and their dog teams The
most northern people In the world.
Eagerly they examined the big ship
and in detail everything connected
with it.
Donald B. Macmillan, arctic explor-
er, in recalling this bit Of meager his
tory concerning the far North, relates
that through an interpreter the Eski-
mos asked Sir John where he came
from.
"From the SOUTH" he told them.
"That is impossible" they said. mo
one could live down there. All our ice
goes off in that direction. 1t must be
now filled up with fce."
Doctor Kane in 1858, and Doctor
Hayes, in 1851, found but a small pop
ulation, and stated that in few years
undoubtedly the race would vanish.
There are more there today than there
were then, and they are increasing
rapidly. In 1909 the total population
of these northern shores numbered
21S; in 1917, 261.

HAD ITS ORIGIN IN VENICE
Name Gazette" May BE Traced From
What Might Be Called the
First Newspaper.

Not Rome, but Venice, holds first
place in journalism history. From
the latter city we get most of the
nomenclature OF the modern newspa-
per, says a writer in the Quill. Here
news was publicly posted as in Rome,
but to read it cost, it is said, a small
coin, a gazetta. Not only in Latin
countries, but even in America, Ga
zette has been a favorite name for a
newspaper. In the case of the LIZ
original colonies, nine times out OF
ten the first newspaper in any one of
them was a Gazette. Often the price
paid for a newspaper has furnished
the name Examples may be found
In the Cent of Phi1adelphia-pos
the first penny paper in America-ano
tho PlCQyuDl Of Nov Orleans. gksat
in his .tEtynlological Dictionary of the
English Language" gives under the
word Gazette" IAN abstract Of news
issued at Venice; the original sense
is either ID a magpie, from Italian
"gazetta," whence it may have meant
tittle-tattle; or (2) avery small coin
perhaps paid for the privilege of read
ing the news, from Italian "gazetta," a
coin less than a farthing. The read.
er may choose. Since the dfstin-
guished professor of AnglO-Sax0n at
the University of Cambridge was not
quite sure about the derivation and
offered choice to his readers, it is
barely possible that the two uses Of
the Italian 'gazetta" gave the Latin
news sheets their name.

LOOKS AS THOUGH LEAGUE
HAD WON NORTH DAKOTA

Fargo, N. D., June 2S.-With re-
turns from special election still
meager, reports indicate that the
Nonpartisan league was successful in
carrying by a small majority; esti-
mated as low as $500, all of the
seven laws voted on.
While the cities and towns almost
uniformly voted against the league,
the ballots in the rural districts are
the other way, in many instances by
two to one.
Imported speakers, dramatists and
comedians were employed by the
league to canvas the state as propa-
gandists. They made up" in blue
jeans and straw hats, powdred their
whiskers with hayseed and invaded
the rural sections like true camou-
flage artists and got by with it. They
entertained their audiences with al
legged witticisms on "big biz," and
recited poems on "the man with the
hoe. They avoided fair analysis of
the questions at issue and spoke in
glowing terms of the political Uto-
pia so closely aligned with a straight
vote in support 0fsall seven laws.

One of the string weighed four
pounds, second weighed three and

Premier Norris Comes.

One of the distinguished guests of
the meeting outing is Premier Nor
ris of Manitoba, Canada, who arrived
Il at an early hour this morning, COM
! ing from Winnipeg. The premier is
we'll known in Bemidji, several citi-
I zens having escorted him to state
l6rk, Lake Itasca, when he was one
16f q party that made the sociability
run over the Jefferson highway from
Winnipeg to New Orleans. While on
the. trip die spoke at several of the
larger cities on the southern sections
. Of, the highway and was warmly
greeted He has, tor the past six
weeks, been in the thick of the big
strike in Winnipeg, which was set
tied this week. 1t was doubtful
whether he, would be able to attend
the session or not, but when the
trouble was settled he wired he
would be here. He will be one of
the speakers at the meeting at Birch
mont tonight.
Premier Norris, when asked con-
\ cerning the huge strike in Winnipeg,
replied that it collapsed and no
agreement was reached One of the
demands for settlement on the part
of the strikers was the reinstating of
those who went out, but the employ
ers would not. consent to this fea-
ture. Judge H. A. Robson. one of the
most prominent figures in the pro-
vince, will be appointed by the Pre-
mier as royal commissioner to inves-
ugate the causes and conduct of the
| strike. The premier also said the
failure of the strike demonstrated
sfhat no one element can apply econ
Omic pressure upon the people.
Out of a population of about $780,
ono inhabitants in Winnipeg. about
$4,000 were participated in the dis
! order strike. There were three ele-
ments involved. the Bolsheviki ele-
ment, regular labor unions and the
foreign element.
