Eliminating Steam
 4-S---->>>>>s <---->>>>>>s no Elechi6caion of Railroads Would F Conserve Coal Supply


 Railroad identification is still looked upon by the general public and by rail- road men as having its chief merits in relieving cities and tunnels of the Ob- noxious smoke and cinders belched forth by the steam locomotives. Elec- trical men have in recent years en- phasized the economy of electric train service and in paper presented by s. T. Dodd before the Western Rail- way club this fs~very strikingly shown. Mr. Dodd cites figures proving that 1O0,GO0,o0o of the 14O,OOOOOO tons of coal now burned annually by our rail- roads could be saved by general cleo trification. In view of the continued, if not increasing, need for conserv- ing the fuel resources of the country for future generations, the urgency of attacking the problem and at least checking this gigantic annual waste should be given prompt and careful at tention.-ElectricaI Review.

Sahara Desert Once Well Watered and Fertile Says
 Professor of EqyptoIogy

The Sahara desert was once well wa tered and fertile, and hunters from the Sahara plateau, moving gradually down through rift in North eastern Africa, located where Egypt now lies, according to Dr. James Henry Breasted, professor of Egyp- tology and oriental history, Uni versity of Chicago.
 Doctor Breasted said that this all happened about the time of the stone age. Egypt was then one huge lake. but 1t gradually drained out into the Mediterranean, leaving the Nile valley. Here the hunters were afforded every natural resource and founded a civ ilization which outstripped Europe. It was about 4,0OO or 5000 B. c. that Egypt had a stable government con- trolling millions of souls.
 The grain of Egypt was 1000 years older than that found in Asia, says Doctor Breasted, and cattle undoubt- edly had their origin in Africa. The stone age founders of Egypt early de- veloped from hunters to farmers and used the oldest metal instruments made by human agency. They evil dently discovered the metal there; and a system of writing was evolved in Egypt thousands of years before Christ.

javanese Use No Nails, No <>. Iron-OnIy Bamboo-iH
 Construction of Bridges

The natives of Java shave bridge building technique which utilizes to the limit their slight resources for work of this character. Of raw mate rials they are acquainted with but two, and one of these Is really a product of their own ingenuity. They have no nails, no iron, no true wood; they are forced to rely entirely upon bam- boo for the structural parts, and upon a rope of their own manufacture to ef- feet the junctures. In spite of these Limitations, they achieve highly credit able results. -
 The original element which the Jsvan natives have brought to the con- structiOn of these bridges is made of a fiber taken from the native aren-palm. which grows all over the island. This fiber Is of a black and horny substance. It makes rope that resists effective ly the heavy decaying action of the hot and damp tropical climate with its legions of fungi; m fact, 1t lasts for many years without any indications of rOftinE.

HAVE TO PURCHASE BRIDES
Santal Indian Bridegroom Must Lay
 Up Money Before He Can As pire to a Wife.

The Santail Indians must literally purchase their brides. They pay a sum of money to the girls parents usually about 100 rupees-;tnd, in ad- dition, they present the mother and the female relatives with new saris or shawls.
 Should the bridegroom choose 8 widow for his wife, she will only cost half the sum mentioned. The reason why the Suntail Indians hold widows in less regard than unmarried females is because they assert that in the next world man and wife are reunited hence a widow who marries again is only '1ent" to her second husband. When a young man courts a girl who does not favor his suit, he adopts an eccentric way to cure her stubborn ness. After having dipped his finger in red paint, he goes in search of the lady and imprints his mark on her forehead. Then he may claim her az his wife.

LEIGH AS WEATHER PROPHET
Those Familiar With Small Creatures Habits Can ForeteII Changes
 That Are at Hand.

An excellent weather prophet can be made by placing leech in glass jar of water.
 . If the, weather is to continue fine the leech lies motionless at the bot- tom of the jar, and rolled together in a spiral form. If it is to rain, either before or after noon, it will be found to have crept up to the top of it's lodg- Ing, where it will remain till the weather is settled.
 If we are to have wind, the poor prisoner gallops through his limpid habitation with amazing swiftness, and seldom rests till it begins to blow hard.
 If a remarkable storm of thunder and rain is to succeed, the leech, for some days before. lodges almost con tinually without water, and gives itself up to violent throes and convulsive-like motions. In frost, as in clear summer weather, it lies constantly at the bot tom; and in snow, as in rainy weather. it pitches its dwelling on the very mouth of the jar.

Majority of Big Animals Are Extremely Lazy Even
 in Their Native Haunts

Though not generally known, most of the big carnivora are extremely lazy, In their native haunts-only ex- erttng themselves when in need of food, and often going without it for sheer indolence.
 Animals of the geological gardens obtaining their food without any ef- fort on their own part grow stupid and i'll for lack of exercise The pac- ing up and down, just before meal time s not sufficient. Besides, anil mals are like people; they need change of scene and air. For this reason the animals in circus or show are really more fortunate than their brothers in the geological gardens.
 The trick animals get plenty of ex- erciss during performance, and the constant change of scene keeps them interested. Even such fierce animals as leopards, tigers and lions enjoy going through their tricks from sheer relief of the monotony of their cages, and often the big cats are quite play full during the time of their training, not from any love of man, but from a love of motion.

Scheme to Fool the Taste
 When Swallowing Medicine

Yet another attempt has been made of devising some scheme whereby a patient may take disagreeable medi- cine without tasting it. In the new idea tiny cup is provided which is dipped inside an ordinary tumbler. The medicine is placed in the inner cup, and the tumbler filled with wa ter. The inventors idea is that the pa- tIent simply drinks the water, where upon the medicine also flows out, and floating upon film of water, Is swal- lowed down, without coming into con- tact with the tongue.

Samoyedes of the Russian Province of ArchangeI Is
 One of Least Known Races

In the extreme north of the Rus sian province of Archangel dwells one of the queerest and least known races of mankind These are the 'Samo- yedes, the wandering tribes of the vast frozen marshes which extend in these regions from the forest belt to the shores of the Arctic ocean. They wOr- ship idols and their sole wealth con- sists in reindeer. Living, the reindeer draws the sledge which transports the Samoyede and his belongings from spot to spot i'll search of. the game and fish, which constitute his principal sustenance. Dead, it provides him with meat in times of scarcity, and with skin for his family tent. With its sharpened bones he tips his wood en fishing harpoons and hunting speMrs. Its sinews he uses to sew to- gether the shirt, brooches, and boots of sealskin, which are the attire alike Of the Samoyede men, women and children.

Birds Adopt Conservation;
 Some Ride on Brake Beams

Some species of birds among the migrants to the West and South do not depend upon their wings alone to speed them on their journey. Accord ing to a Nevada railway official, whom the San Francisco Chronicle quotes, various birds, especially sparrows and linnets, have adopted less fatiguing method of transit than that which we usually consider as their natural one, by riding on the brake beams of trains. He described an incident in which some hundreds of birds, riding on g Southern Pacific train that was pass ing through Nevada from the East, suddenly flew from their perches be- heath the coaches when the train pass ed over a rough crossing.

National Capitol Under
 Rule of Commissioners

There are no elective offices in the city of Washington or District of Co., lumbia, as the people there do not vote. The municipal government of the district is vested in two commis- sioners appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate and third commissioner detailed by the president from the engineer corps of the army. The commissioners appoint the subor- dinate municipal officials, with the ex- ceptiOn of the board of education, which is appointed by the supreme court of the District of Columbia. It is really a commission form of gov ernment, only that the commissioners are appointed by the president instead of being elected by the people.

Mine sweepers, at Work.

Mine sweepers are ships that dis cover and sweep up explosive mines that are put into the sea in time of ships. Usually two small vessels work together in the mined area. The ships drag mine cable, one end of which is on each ship, the middle part of the cable being suspended at the proper depth from floats. The mines are caught or exploded by the cable.
