now one of the deepest fresh-water
lakes in the world?
3-IS sulphur a mineral or vegeta-
bic compound?
What is an ampere?
.,5-Why is perpetual motion impos-
6-What is the name of the earth's
WHO was the instigator of the
Boxer uprisings in China?
8-What is the 'Meijii PERIOD of
Japan?
9-The invasion of India by what
people brought the Sanskrit language
and the Hindu religion?
10-Who was probably the ruler of
Egypt at the time the Israelites left
the country?
Answers.
What was the Jacobin club of
France? A political. club of which
all the members We're in sympathy
with the revolution. It was first call
ed the Club Breton, but became the
Jacobin later when it began to meet
in the former Jacobin convent in
Paris. It's power was greater than
that of the French National assem-
bly, until the arrest, trial and execu-
ton of Robespierre, it's leader, in
1894.
Prom where does the best ebony
come? From an East Indian tree
named D. Ebenum, which grows
about fifty feet high.
3-From what flower is opium OBJ
tanned? From the poppy somnifer-
UNI, native of the Mediterranean
region, which is largely cultivated
4-Who was the ''Father of Nat
ural History" Aristotle, the Gre
clan philosopher and naturalist.
5-What is the probable explana-
ton of hailstorms? 1t is highly prob
able that they are brought about by
a cyclone or tornado having an axis
parallel to the surface of the earth.
The motion of the atmosphere around
this axis may be so rapid as to carry
raindrops from the lower and warm
er to the higher and colder layers of
air. In the colder regions the water
becomes frozen, and at every round
trip takes on new layer of ice,
which accounts for the concentric
formation of the ice particles.
6-What is a mirage? An appear
ance of an object in the sky, or at
sea above the water, caused by the
rays of light changing their direction
as they pass through layer of either
hotter or colder air.
What is the average depth OF
the Atlantic ocean? Between two
and three miles, though in some
places it is twice that depth.
S-What valuable medicine is made
from the bark of the cinchona tree?
Quinine.
9-How did the word "electricity''
originate? The substance earliest
discovered to have properties of at
traction through heat generated by
friction was amber, a fossil resin
found on the shores of Greece. The
Greeks called this resin "elektron,' -
and later, in 1903, a. D., DR.. Gilbert
called the phenomenon of attraction
electric" from which originated our
present word.
1O-How do the planets differ
from the stars? The stars maintain
always the same relative position in
the solar system, but the planets ap-
parently change their positions from
night to night; hence their name
which is merely the Gre81 word for
wandering" -

Mouse That Sings Like Mockmg Bird Is
Found at Albany, Ca, and Creates Sensation

ones that had been heard about the
place for some time, and saw that
the sound proceeded from the cap
tured mouse. Immediately the little
animal was taken from the cat and
the other members Of the household
were called. They decided to put
it in a cage to verify what they
scarcely believe even after having
heard it sing. They did so, and soon
were rewarded by notes that were
decidedly like those of a hooking
bird.
That was five months ago, and to-
day the little mouse, which has been
named 'Rastus," is happy in a small
revolving cage, and singing joyously,
all unconscious that it doubtless has
wonderful career ahead of it.
1t begins with the low chip, chip
Of mockingbird, then proceeds up
the, scale, warbling and thrilling the
higher notes, and singing loud
enough to be heard by a room full
of people, even when there is con-
versation going on.
Recently the mouse was on dis
play at an Albany drug store. Those
who heard it there are fully con-
WINGED, and can testify to the truth
of the singing of this remarkable
mouse. The mouse sang for several

NEW RATES TO
GIVE SOUTH MORE
EXPORT TRADE

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Prepara-
ton of class and commodity rates
upon export traffic from tn Middle
West to South Atlantic and Gulf
ports was ordered today by Director
General Hines.
The rates to be established will be
substantially the same as the rates
to New York on domestic freight and
will equalize charges so that south
ern gateways to South and Central
America can compeet on equal terms
with the east.
Decision to esta blish the rates is
the successful outcome of a long
fight carried on by the southern in
terests for a fair share of the ma
tons export commerce. The mat
ter was brought to the serious at
tention of the government by con-
ditions arising during the war, when
eastern ports were congested with
export shipping, while South At
lantic ports had less than they
were able to accommodate.
Representative subsequently were
made to the shipping board to OBJ
tain sufficient cargo space sailing
from those ports to take care of
outgoing tarffic and to the railroad
administration toestablish equitable
freight rates.

He'd BY Lure Of Cold ''Old-Tmer'' Still
Works Old Placer Mine in Deadwood Gulch

So far as is known, the Black
Hills of South Dakota is the only
mining district in the United States
where old-fashioned placer mining
in the old-fashioned way, with
string of horses and rifles, is be-
ing carried on. Dredging and min
ing by hydraulic means are being
carried on in California and some
other mining sections of the coun-
try, but only in the Black Hills is
placer mining being done.
There is some spasmodic placer
mining being done on Sand Creek, in
the western part of Lawrence Coun-
ty, S. D., of which Deadwood is the
county seat, but Andrew Oustad of
Deadwood Gulch enjoys the dis
tinction of being the only placer
miner who each year devotes eight
months or more to this now print

These placer workings" promise

The primitive method of recovering

the placer, or gravel, mines that
were responsible for the discovery
of gold in the Black Hills and the
settlement of the hills by the
whites, will interest tourists, and it
also is interesting many Black Hill

placer mining on a large scale had

To the tune of Turkey in the
Straw and Devil in the Pea Patch"
the best fiddlers in fifteen states will
| compete in Atlanta October Z to 10
for a prize to be awarded by 1.-The
sweetest girl in Dixie"
1.-THE sweetest girl in Dixie" is the
title conferred upon Miss Odelle
Hunt, chief sponsor on the staff of
Colonel Walter P. Andrews, COM
mander of the Sons of Confederate
Veterans for the state of Georgia,
for the annual reunion of United
Confederate Veterans, which will be
held in Atlanta in the second week
of October.
Among her other duties, Miss Hunt
will have the honor of awarding
first prize in the championship tid-
ding contest which will be a unique
feature of the Confederate reunion.
F'iddling-such fiddling as puts the
virtuosos of opera and concert in
the shade. fiddling with the good
wife as the "straw-beater," fiddling
on homely instruments concocted out
of cigar boxes and hickory limbs,
fiddling until all feet begin to pat
ter when the strains of "Shortnen'
Bread echo through the hall-such
fiddling has been beloved of the Con-
federate veteran since the days when
he followed Jackson and Lee.
He viii hear it again in Atlanta.
The Confederate veteran fiddlers of
Arkansas, Texas and New Mexico
have challenged the fiddlers of Geor-
gia, and just so nobody's feelings
will be hurt, the challenge has been
enlarged to admit all corners among
the Confederate veterans of the
south. Tennessee will send her old
fddlers from the mountains; Florida
will send them from the far ever
glades; Kentuclly's fiddlers of the
Blue Grass will come, and the fid-
dlers of old New Orleans.
Georgia itself boasts an Old F'id-
dlers' association in which Confed-
crate veterans are among the lead
ing members. One of them is one
armed fiddler, but they do say he
makes the cat-gut scream with that
single wing.
1t is expected that the ffddling
contest will be heard by more than
10000 people, a bigger crowd than
attends Atlanta's spring season of
metropolitan grand opera. The re-
union itself will probably draw more
than 10000 people, as the govern
ment is granting a fiat rate of one
cent mile to and from Atlanta for
any part of the United States. The
fiddling contest and the sessions of
the convention will be held in the
city auditorium, which seats 10000.
Special rates will be good on all rail-
roads

a tame duck recently, and in its
