MAY DEVELOP GUM MARKET
Opening Of Mesopotamia to civiIiza.
tion Likely to Add Largely to the.
Worlds Supply.

g As law and order come into the wild
and unsettled mountains OF Mesopo-
tamia, especially when new roads and
the eventual railway connect the
northern Kurdish country around Mo-
sui with the rest Of the world, many
a now useless tree and shrub will
doubtless be put to service as a con-
tributor Of gum. The gums of Meso-
potamia have many commercial uses,
and the unsystematic tapping and
trading that now brings the product
on pack animals to- Suleimanaya,
where merchants buy, it from the
Kurds and sell it again to other mer-
chants in Bagdad, is d mere sugges.
tion of the industry that may be de-
veloped by enterprising promoters who
may have observed the extent of this
natural resource in Mesopotamia and
looked further afield than Aleppo and
Bagdad for markets. Now that Brit
ish occupation has opened the land to
western ideas, it would not be sur
prising If the gum industry grew to be
source of considerable national
wealth, and an important factor in
creating new Mesopotamia.

Plastic Dressing for Wounds.

Industrial plants are now using the
Ambrfne treatment for burns, scalds,
and all surface wounds which proved
very successful for casualties incurred
in the world war.
The dressing is a compound Of wax
and resins, and is solid when cold. It
is heated to about $50 degrees Fab
renheit and applied by means Of a spe-
ial atomizer, or it can be generally
daubed on with soft brush. A plas-
tic dressing, impervious to air, is thus
formed, which does not adhere to the
wound and which promotes the healing
process without appreciable contrac-
ton. Disagreement and scars are pre-
vented to greater extent than was
possible under the old methods.

Cengthening Life Of Silk Stocking.

"No economies are SMALL" says a
French @proverb, and the professional
stocking mender's job is evidence Of
thrift as understood by the Parisienne
Here" said one of the craft, "are 80
pairs Of silk stockings which have
been through my hands more times
than l can count, and look at them" !"
They were patched and darned till
there was little Of the original left,
but as Elise remarked, with boots
they still make an effectw Before the
war madame paid three half-pence per
pair to her mender and provided the
thread; now she gives fourpence or
fivepence and expects miracles Of en-.
durance from the fragile web. Where
the mender formerly spent ten min
utes she now must devote an hour to
some of these stockings, and it is diff
f1cult to see how she gets living.
But madame's motto is, 'Throw moth
ing away" and she lives up to it.

Island Of Crete "Upendina.n

In the course Of discussion on the
subject Of Crete at the Royal Geo
graphical society, Prof. L. J. Myres de-
scribed two remarkable changes Of
ground level that have occurred there
since classical times, says the Scientific
American.
The whole island has swung upon an
axis, the eastern half sinking and the
western rising, so, that whereas at
Hierapetras and Spinalonga the an.
cient quays and harbor works are now
under water, the little Greek harbor Of
Phalasarna, at the west end Of the Is
land, is now totally upheaved, so that
one can walk about on the floor Of the
ancient harbor, upraised and dry.

Great Possibilities in This Form
OF Treatment for Toning Up

It is almost sure death to step upon
the third rail Of an electric road, fol
he who does 1t will get shock of al
least 500 volts. But you can jump on
third rail and stand on it with both
feet and feel nothing. You must, how
ever, jump off with both feet or you
will get the shock. The reason is that
when both feet are on the rail there is
no circuit.

menter, wondered what would happen
If he were to stand on the pole of a
very powerful Tesla coil. He went to
where there is one Of the electrical
testing laboratories. where there is one
Of the most powerful high frequency
machines in the country. giving 50O,.
600 volts and using 20 kilowatts. This
machine throws streams of electric
fire six to seven feet long. the noise
of which can be heard several blocks
away. Mr.. Gernsback wanted to stand
on the metal plate Of the "high" term
fnal of the transformer, but the man.
ayers would not let him, for fear of an
accidest. He had with him, however,
live rabbit, and they let him put the
bunny on that perilous spot.
"At first" writes Mr.. Gernsback in
the Electrical Experimenter. she was
much frightened and jumped off the
plate at about five kilowatts. Long
sparks had shot out from his nose and
above his eyes and at the ends Of the
ears. So the writer wetted the plat
form with water, because he thought
that sparks might be jumping into
the rabbits belly and legs which in
sulated the fur part of his body, giving
rise to stinging sparks. An improve
ment was seen Immediately. The
rabbit now held perfectly still for
about 20 seconds, taking the full charge
of 20 kilowatts at 100000 volts. Long
spark streamers. four or five feet long,
shot from brer' rabbits nose, ears and
back, and, curious to note, Immediate
ly above the eyes, and after that the
rabbit took the full charge, never NOV.
ing once for 20 seconds at time.
After a while the rabbit seemed to en-
Joy the performance, and right after
his seance he was as lively as ever,
eating a big carrot at once"
Mr.. Gernsback points out that there
is practical value in this experiment,
for a charge Of electricity such as the
one described gives dry bath which
removes every particle of dead skin,
dust and dirt and hurls them far from
the body. Such electric baths also
soften hardened arteries, tone up the
nervous system and make the old

Spitzberoen Explorer.

Charles .Rabot, French physicist,
with reputation for arctic research,
has been elected honorary member Of
the Christiania Geographical society.
In 1892 Mr.. Rabot participated in the
French expedition Of La Manche to
van Mayen and Spitzbergen. he was
the first to travel extensively over
west Spitzbergen and to form correct
conclusions as to it's pathological re-
lations, viz: that west Spitzbergen Is
not covered by connected inland
mass Of ice as Is the case with Nor
dostland and Greenland. Among his
many works the most important Is,
ADes Variations de Longueur, des
Glaciers" paris, 1897 and 1900). He
was the first to make a survey map of
the black ice between Saltenfjord and
Ranefjord, for the time pointing out
that at Glaamdalen the black fee Is cut
into two parts known as Vestbraen
and Osthbraaen.

Have Cried Their Eyes Out.

"The City of the Blind" the Arme-
mans and Syrians call Aleppo in Syria,
for nowhere else in the Orient today
is the percentage Of blindness so high.
Every sixth person on the street is af-
fected with eye disease. These Arme-
mans and Syrians, the oculists say, in
the years Of terror and suffering just
passed under Turkish oppression, have
literally "cried their eyes out"
Trachoma is found in all degrees Of
severity among infants a few months
old, and advanced cases among chill
dren from three to six. Such condi-
tion exists nowhere else, except in
such lands as Egypt and India, and
nowhere there Is 1t so severe as IN
Aleppo at present.

Chinese Engineers Hate Toll.

In no branch Of modern. progress
has China advanced during the last
twenty years more than in engineer
ing, II we except, perhaps, medicine.
The Chinese engineer has come to
stay. He is a much criticized person,
and the principal objection the up-to-
date modern engineer offers against
him Is that he refuses to undergo the
long and tedious period Of training
necessary IN any branch Of engineer
ing today: If he can become an engfn-
eer without soiling his hands or taking
of his coat, he is quite willing to pose
as having mastered engineering; bat
he objects to the toll and the dirty
work.

Moroccan Spanish Jews,

One Of those historic bits stranger
than fiction, and one which contains
the note Of poetic justice too often
lacking in ordinary experience, is the
recent Inauguration Of an effort upon
the part Of Spain to nationalize and
rehabilitate the Jews Of Morocco. The
king Of Spain himself is at the head
Of the movement, being chief Of the
honorary presidents and being Sec
onded by many Of the most prominent
statesmen Of all parties. After three
centuries Of ostracism the Jews are to
be officially invited to return, as It
were, and to resume their position In
the evolution Of the land.

PRIMARIES WILL Be
HELD IN AUGUST
LEAGUE SAVES
PRIMARIES TWICE

The supreme court Of the State Of
Montana again handed down . deci-
sion about ten days ago sustaining
the referendum Of the law repalino
the Primary Election Law, which law
was passed st the special session last
Summer.
This ends the effort Of the plunder-
bund to abolish the primaries. The
Primaries have been saved by and
through the work and activities Of
the Farmers Nonpartisan League.
Two times has the League gone to
the people with petitions and with
speakers, to forestall the efforts Of the
interests to abolish democracy in
Montana, and both times the League
has won.
Now it seems that there is no more
doubt but that the Primaries will be
held in August, thanks to the work
of the farmers.
Primary elections will be held in
Montana on April % for selection Of
presidential electors and delegates to
NJ IOnal conventions, and on August
"a for nomination Of congressional,
state and county candidates, the same
a. se he'd tour years ago, under an
oral opinion Of the supreme court
handeu down Thursday morning, two
weeks ago.
Chief Justice Brantly rendered the
opinion Of the court in which all the
other justices concur, in dismissing
the application Of William L. Gleason
of Helena for an alternative writ of
mandate.
The court granted the motion to
quash, to set aside the writ and to
dismiss the proceedings.
Attorney General Ford represented
the state and M. S. Gum represented
Mr.. Gleason.
TIL writ sought would direct Sec
rotary of State C. T. Stewart to pro-
coed in calling for the primary cleo
tions under the closed primary law
and not to heed the referendum petit
tions to voters to refer the law for
ratification or rejection at the next
election.
Two major questions were decided
and will be treated in written opin-
ion to be handed down later. One
question is the sufficiency Of the petit
tons to make the primary law, as
amended at the special legislative as
sembly, imperative. The other ques-
ton concerns the constitutional pro-
vision and is whether referendum petit
tlons require signatures of voters
Is per cent of the vote
cast for governor in a majority of the
counties, or whether Is per cent of
the TOTAL vost in the state cast for the
governor at the asst election is re-
quired.
In dismissing the proceedings the
court upheld the contention that the
petitions are sufficient and that the
certificates of couny clerks are all
that is required for the secretary of
state to proceed upon when fraud is
not involved and that the court cannot
go behind the certificates Of county
clerks.
The case is decided upon its merits
and not upon technicalities.
By this decision the voters of Mon
tana will pass upon the closed pri-
mary law at the regular elections in
the fall, similarly as upon other ref
erendum measures enacted by the leg
islature, to become effective on ap-
prevail of the voters.

Mr.. Stone commented on the continu-
Gus increase ID the cost Of living, and
the burden It IS placing on the com
sumers and urged that the railroads
acquire the stock yards and refri9er-
ator cars, in order that there might
ben inequality Of opportunity for

- order that the cooperative associa-
tons Of producers and consumers
might nave better opportunity for
direct trading. Mr.: Stone said that

RED CROSS EXTENDS
RELIEF TO POLAND

More than $5,00o,o0o has been spent
by the American Red Cross in aiding
the stricken people of Poland. The
organization has nursed the sick, fed
the starving, clothed the naked, shelter
ed the homeless, schooled the children
and cared for the orphans there. 1t has
conducted relentless fight against
typhus, cholera and other terrible dis
eases. So today millions Of men and
women in that resurrected nation
speak in grateful appreciation Of 1.-THE
Greatest Mother in the World"
Nearly 200 American Red Cross
workers are now engaged In relief &C.
tivities in Poland. Four large relief
bases are in operation and eleven mo-
bile units are in the field. During the
last twelve months this organization
was largely instrumental in the re-es-
Establishment of million refugees at
cost for general relief of more than
100000. Last winter one-half mil
lion war orphans were aided material
ly, and since then a series of large or
them permanent care.
But for American Red Cross aid, Of
ficials of Poland declared recently, mil
lions of people in that country would
have persisted of disease. exposure or
starvation the last eighteen months.
And the work there must be kept up
for another year.
