"Many Of the minor taxes provided

be got rid of. Among these, nope you
will agree, are the excuses upon vari-
Gus manufactures and the taxes upon
retail sales. They are unequal IN the
incidence on different industries ana
on different individuals. Their coliec-
ton is difficult and expensive. 1hose
which are levied upon articles SOLD at
retail are largely evaded by the READ
justment of retail prices. On the other
hand, l should assume that IL is eA-
pedient to maintain conslderaoie

that alcoholic liquors will presently
no longer afford a source OF revenue

"There is, fortunately, no occasion
for undertaking in the immediate fu-
ture, any general revision of our sys-
tenn of import duties. No serious DAN
ger of foreign competition now threat
ems American industries. Our country
has emerged from the war less as
turbed and less weakened than any OF
the European countries which are our
competitors in manufacture. so far
from there being any danger or need
Of accentuated foreign competition, It
il likely that the conditions OF the
next few years will greatly facilitate
the marketing of American manufac-
lures abroad. Least Of all should we
depart from the policy adopted in the
tariff act of 1913 of permitting the
free entry into the United States or
the raw materials needed to supple
ment and enrich our own abundant
supplies.

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

The Santali Indians must literally
purchase their brides. They pay o
sum of money to the girls parents
usually about 100 dupees-and, in adj
dition, they present the mother and
the female relatives with new saris
or shawls.
Should the bridegroom choose
widow for his wife, she will only cost
half the sum mentioned. The reason
why the Santali 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 "lent'' to her second husband
When 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 ting
lady and imprints his mark on ,hefN
forehead. Then he may claim her asV
his wife.

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-
erting themselves when in need of
food, and often going without it for
sheer Incidence:
Animals of the geological gardens
obtaining their food without any eff
fort on their own part grow stupid and
ill for lack Of exercise. The pac-
ing up and down, just before meal
time IS not sufficient. Besides, ami
mails are like people; they need change
of scene and air. For this reason the
animals in a circus or show are really
more fortunate than their brothers in
the geological gardens.
The trick animals get plenty of ex-
ercise 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
love of motion.

Javanese Use No Nails, No
lron-0nIy Bamboo-in
Construction of Bridges

The natives of Java have a bridge
building technique which utilities to
the limit their slight resources for
work of this character. Of raw mate
rails 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 eff.
feet the junctures. In spite of these
limitations, they achieve highly credit
able results.
The original element which the
Javan natives have brought to the con-
struction of these bridges is made of
fiber taken from the native aren-palm,
which grows all over the island. This
fiber is of black and horny substance.
1t makes a rope that resists effective
ly the heavy decaying action of the
hot and damp tropical climate with
its legions of fungi; in fact, it lasts for
many years without any indications of
rotting.

Eliminating Steam
Electi6caiion Of Railroads Would
Conserve Coal Supply

Railroad electrification still looked
upon by the general public and by rail-
road men as having its chief merits in
relieving cities and tunnels of the OBJ
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 is very strikingly shown.
Mr.. Dodd cites figures proving that
100,000,000 of the 140,000,000 tons of
coal now burned annually by our rail-
roads could be saved by general cleo
trifcation. 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.- Electrical Review.

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

An excellent weather prophet can
be made by placing leech in glass
jar of water.
Y 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
its lodging, 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 it.
self up to violent throes and convul-
sive-like motions. In frost. as in clear
summer weather, it lies constantly at
the bottom; and in snow, as in rainy
weather, it pitches its dwelling on the
very mouth of the jar.

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 in 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
it's sharpened bones he tips his wood
en- fishing harpoons and hunting
spears. Its sinews he uses to sew to-
gether the shirt, breeches, and boots
of sealskin, which are the attire alike
of the Samoyede men, women and
children.

Sahara Desert Once Well
Watered and Fertile Says
Professor of EgyptoIogy

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 it gradually drained out into the
Mediterranean, leaving the Nile valley.
Here the hunters were afforded every
natural resource and founded civ
ilization which outstripped Europe. 1t
was about 1000 or 5000 B. G. 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-
eddy 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
IDENTIFY discovered the metal there; and
a system of writing was evolved in
Egypt thousands of years before
Christ.

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 a 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 ar incident in which
some hundreds of birds, riding on a

ing through Nevada from the East,
suddenly flew from their perches be-
meath the coaches when the train pass
ed over rough crossing.
