Turned Laugh on Jokers.

We do not think Of M. Clemenceau
as the sort Of man on whom practical
jokes would be played, yet he was the
victim of an elaborate jest some
while ago--in pre-war times, needless
to say-and he accepted the position
with commendnble grace.
A number of Parisians received bo-
gus invitations to dine at the pre-
mier's house. Some were total
strangers, and their grateful accept
ance ,mystifled M. Clemenceau until
he realized the hoax.
He did not put them Off. He or
dered the dinner, and gave his guests
a pleasant evening. Not until the
evening was drawing to close did he
inform them that their Invitations had
been sent out by some one Of whose
identity he had not the remotest
knowledge.

WHY, 1T IS 'czEcHO-SLOvAK'
Sounds Awkward, but Really 10 tho
Only Way to Correctly Express
What 10 Meant

Speaking Of the awkward cognomen
Of "Czecho- -Slovak." the Independent
says 1t is partly due to linguistic acci-
dent and partly to political exigence.
The old familiar name Bohemia" has.
like the name Serbia" a territorial
rather than a radical significance and
Is too small to cover the clinical en-
Ctity on which the modern concept Of
nationality Is founded. The Slovak
language Is only dlaletically different
from the Czech or Bohemian, but the
differences were purposely intensified
during the nineteenth century to keep
the Hungarian branch Of the rice
apart. from the Austrian. Even In
America Slovak and Czech newspapers
are distinct, although either people
can read the other language. Profess
sor Masaryk. head of the new CzechO-
Slovak republic. Is Slovak. The
Slovaks. being inferior to the Czechs
in numbers, wealth and education, are
naturally insistent upon equal rights
and recognition. The spelling Czech
Is neither native nor English. 1t Is a
Polish form Of the word. foisted upon
the world by persistence Of Viennese
journalists. The True Bohemian spell
ing "Cech" is impossible to our news
papers for lack of type with inverted
caret over the G. to represent Oh. The
final ch Is sounded like the German
cultural or the Scottish ch as In
'loch," but to the ordinary ear Is Lard
ly distlnguishable from plain k.

SET RECORD FUR BUILDING
New York University Put Up Eight
Large Buildings for Soldiers In
Thirteen Days.

New York university set a record
In finishing an army barracks building
for the new students army training
corps In six days. says the New York
Tribune. This building was the first
Of group of eight needed for the
newly inducted soldiers Mt the univer-
sity. The entire group was completed
In 13 days from the time the work
was started. Prof. Collins +. Bliss.
head Of the department Of mechanical
engineering at the university. super
vised this rush job of construction. the
university authorities having contract
ed for the erection OF the barracks as
soon as 1t was learned that New York
university would become an s. A. T.
c. camp.
The buildings are completely sealed
so they can be kept comfortably heat
ed by the big cantonment stoves.
There are double floors throughout.
there Is double sheathing on the out
side. and the walls are sealed inside.
Each barracks conforms to the army
plan Of 43 by 40 feet dimensions.
In the mess hall 1.60O men are fed In
two shifts. High pressure steam cook
ers are used There are gas and coal
ranges. steam tables on which to keep
the food hot, and some kettles three
feet In diameter. A dishwasher 0per-
ated by steam cleans 5000 dishes an
hour.
One Of the uriversity's graduate en-
gineers-John Lowry. Jr.-was respon-
sible for the rapid erection of the bar
racks. Being engaged extensively in
government work, he was able to
throw in large force of men, trans
ferred from other government work
that was finished.
The site of the first barracks was
surveyed and staked and posts were
set In concrete In one day.

PROVED EFFECT OF MICROBES
Experiments Made by French Scientist
Reveal Possibility Of Marvellous
Things In the Future.

II there were no microbes men
would grow to gigantic stature and
have intellectual powers far In ad
vance of those which they possess al
present. What is more. II Is possible
at least, to live without microbes
Anyway. these are the conclusions Of
no,less an authority than Doctor Roux.
who heads the Pasteur institute In
Paris. They are based upon the re-
suit Of some experiments carried or
by one of bis pupils. DR.. Michael Co.
hendy.
Doctor Cohendy placed some gulnen
pigs under glass ut the moment of
breathed was thoroughly sterilized. a.
was all the food administered to them.
Unquestionably many germs were able
to reach them, but every precnutiOn
known to science and possible with
the application of one of the com
pletest laboratories in the world was
exercised to protect them.
The result rather astounded the doc
tor The subjects grew with amazing
rapdlty. three or four times as fast
rs gulnea pigs Of the same age sub
sisting under normal conditions. m
the brief span of II days they were
for the most part third larger.
Doctor Roux concludes that man. if
under perfect antlseptic conditions
from birth, would develop very far be-
yond what Is possible as things are
at present. He even hints that with
advancing knowledge, such conditions,
IL not attained. will be so approx
mated as to materially enhance the
physical welfare and mental vigor OF
the race.

In tho actual field work we made

on the axmen. In the swamps-and
there was swamp wherever there was
no spruce-we were forced to wade
for miles In water to our waists or

when q series OF streams and lakes
had to be crossed by swimming and
by RATS. In this swamp work we were
able to practice that beautiful athletic

We arrived at Fairbanks on the af-
ternoon of June Is. Fairbanks, thriv-
ing town, is the market place and dis
tributing point for a placer distri
that turns out from $4,000 to 81
100000 annually. Then, too, 1t Is the
agricultural center Of the Tanana val
ley region, where, despite the general
idea to the contrary, large crops are
grown of potatoes and other root prod
ucts, besides a great deal Of barley
and oats.
The country along the Tanana river
has weird sort of monotony. On the
south side the country is one vast fat.
mostly tundra, swamp. In this lati-
tude the ground seldom thaws beyond
few feet IN depth; consequently
there is little or no subdrainage. This
Is the swamp country through which
our portion of the preliminary line
ran.

The first 400 miles Of railroad, the

now is to be reality, has its initial
point at Seward, a thriving town on
the.southern coast of Kenai peninsula;
follows the now imperative Alaska
Northern railroad around Turnigan

Susitna and Chultina rivers to Broad
