Government Has
 Difficulty Getting < Rid of Wool Funds

WASHINGTON, April 21-The gov ernment, which lately has been hav- sag difficulty in getting money, also sfcasionally encounters difficulty in setting rid of it. The latter diff salty faces the agriculture depart S9ent's bureau of markets which is sr.ying to distribute half a million dol sars among the wool growers and dis ftfbutors. The job has been drag ring along for months without com- zig to an end.
 Under war time peace regulations she government bought all wool pro- 1nced in the United States. fixed the commission to all dealers and buyers aud undertook to see that the sheep tgen got the exact amount due them 5n their entire flock growth. In few of the tremendous weight of s,ool handled, small mistakes in the Saights and estimates accrued dur zig the two years the system oper- ated, and in the end the audit of the joint accounts showed that deal CTS had 556,013.o8 on hand in excess Of their allotted profits and commis- sIons. This, it was decided, should % back to the producers in accord ance with the amount of wool they furnished the government. But Ii has proved easier to decide the prob. lem than to work it.
 The government to date has distrib. ated 101,569.e2 to 34 $50 wool grow ers. Most of the excess profits orig mated in the territory east of thu Mississippi river, where small sheel rocks are, somewha, of side lin' for farmers. Big producers in tn vest were easily accounted for.
 The government thus Is up agains fae job of paying the money out il amounts ranging from 30 cents up saards to $5. Also. it has been dis epSered that while $500 countr' s,ryers took out proper licenses an lime under regulation, 1869 store troopers, bankers and others bough small lots of wool but didn't handl 3npugh to acquaint themselves wit she requirements.

cAILE,s CAPITAL IS souALIp

Santiago the capital of Chile, rises late. I had wandered a long hour be- fore I found a cafe open, and when I dropped in for coffee. the man who spent half an hour preparing 1t grumbled. "s:30 is very early in Santiago"
 My second discovery was that the Chilean capital was squalid. Landing at one of her three railroad sta tions-and this turned out to be no worse than the other two-had been like dropping into Whitechapel. and the electric sign toward which I headed brought me to the lowest type of slum hotel.
 Unlike the capitals of Argentine
 nd Brazil, Santiago has never been saade over and modernized by the federal government, for all its abun- dance of "saltpeter money" The cobbled streets were in many cases only half paved fuli of dusty holes. with loose cobblestones kicking about in them; the very house fronts were covered with dust. and nothing seemed to have been cleaned or re- painted since at least the last cen- tury. Everything looked as if the civic feather duster had been lost, though there was no lack of ragged vendors of this implement making the day hideous with their cries. The great difficulty seemed to be that no one could afford them. for it was another shock to find that prices were almost as lofty in Santiago as in Buenos Aires.
 It is only from Santa Lucia that the Chilean capital gives a suspicion of its great extent. This crowning glory of Santiago, a tree- clad. rocky l hill rising abruptly in the center of | the flat city, sort of perpendicular park of several stories, is the only | place in which it may be seen in any, thing like its entirety. There, four ! hundred feet above the house tops | one realizes for the first time that il may really, after all, have 0,000 inhabitants; to climb any of the zig gag rock cut stairs leading upward from the imposing main entrance is to behold an ever spreading vista of 1 the city, stretching far away in every direction. monotonously flat and low except for several bulkins old churches of the colonial Spanish style.
 The chief charm of the town, fl that word can be used of a city that has very little of it., is its proximity to the Andes. But for this great white, over hanging horizon Santiago l would be commonplace indeed; with it its most dismal scenes have the
 advantage of a splendid setting Harry A. F'ranck In the Century

NOAH HAD AN ARk-FuLL

It is probable the human population of this earth, itself only a spinning atom in sidereal darkness, rises to upward of ? billions and is certainly not less than 1,650, millions. But how many creatures of all kinds has pro- life nature spawned upon this rela- lively minute speck in cosmos! II Noah took a pair Of every nving species aboard his ark, how vast an army did he have with him on his great Notation, and how large must have been that mighty bark?
 Sir E. Ray Lankester gives some il- Illuminating and surprising figures in his Secrets of Earth and Sea- He saws that it is, to be sure, impossible to estimate the number of individuals in existence. But naturalists have Identified and classified a huge mum Der of kinds, breeds, or more correct ly, species of animals and plants. Not all, it is certain. There are 10, 10000 species of mammals, about 14,OOO of birds, 1000 of reptiles. 15, species of fishes, half million sorts of six legged insects, 14,00o of crusta- cea. such as shrimps, Holsters and crabs; 62,o00 of molluscs, such as snails, mussels, oysters, and the like; 5000 corals and polyps, 5000 sponges, 5000 microscopic protoza and many others.
 In all about s0o,ooo species of ani- mals have been found. The scientist says probably as many more remain to be recognized and described. A single species may contain far more individuals than there are men on earth.
 "The total number of described species of plants" adds Sir Ray. "has pever heen estimated but some idea may be formed from the fact that 1850 species of Towering plants alone have been found in Britain, 17.000 in British India. 22,000 in Brazil. not to mention those of Australia and Afri- ca!

Once upon a time a queen ruled Sheba. Thirteen verses of the Book of Kings tell of her visit to Solomon, who had some 300 wives.
 She brought Solomon some rare spic ss and 120 talents Of gold. Solo mon told her that she could have anything in his kingdom that she wanted. Then the queen returned to her own country. There endeth the Biblical history of her.
 Now the movies have taken up the tale, embellished Betty Blythe with a rare hesddress and few clothes and installed her on the celluloid throne of Sheba.
 The result is a thriller for which many in New York are paying S5.50 a seat.
 The film shows Sheba-this she is called for short--stabbing King Ar mund to gain the kingdom.
 It shows her always in decollete. She was dressed that way when sue went to war to save the son of her self and Solomon
 The low-neck effect was also in evil dence when Sheba staged a chariot race with a princess-and won. Int race is a thriller. It makes the audi ence applaud.
 Hundreds of ladies are seen in the picture-in decollete of advanced or rather, lowered degree
 Nothing has been spared to make the picture an immense pageant, ex- cept clothes
 The spectacular. stupendous stupe- flying, sumptuous magnificent, mar velous, magnitudinous pageant ends unhappily.
 Solomon is threatened with war if he does not marry Pharaoh daugh- ter. So Sheba forgets her love and returns home-in decollete.
