the assignment 0. more surveying parties to Alaska. This means more survey ships .and launches.
 Former Ships Useless
 "Upon the termination of hostili- ties with the Central Powers the department made aI careful canvass of the governments floating equip ment to determine what vessels and launches could be transferred to the Coast and Deodetic Survey As q result of this canvass, seven steam vessels and eight power launches were transferred from the Navy De- partment. These were all yachts or small pleasure craft that had been communicated by the navy for mili- tary purposes and were no longer re- quired by that department.
 These vessels were taken over by this department reluctantly be- cause they were far from ideal sur that they would. in a measure, tenn porarily meet the needs of the Coast and Geodetic Survey until they could he replaced by suitable vessels. Three of the larger vessels and two of the launches were returned with in a few months, when it was found that no use whatever could be made of them. The others are now oper' ating with surveying parties. They are far from efficient, but still are better than none. These vessels just about replace the old floating equipment of the bureau which had worn out in service and was ready for condemnation at the outbreak of the war.
 'If the Coast and Geodetic Survey is to speed up it's surveying opera, lions in Alaska to meet the increas- ing needs of commerce there, it is absolutely necessary taat several new vessels designed and built for the purTase be provided, and until these are obtained the present de. plorable lack of surveys will con- tinue and will become even worse each succeeding year.
 No Ships Avanable
 There are no vessels anywhere in the government service which can be spared from their present use to supplement the Coast and Geodetic Survey fleet, They are, of course, miscelHneous assrtments of dis carded vessels in other services of the government such as the Navy and the Emergency Fleet Corpora

Preventative Medicine.

The tendency Of medical
science is toward preventative
measures. 1t is easier and better
to prevent than to cure. Pneu-
monia, one of the most dangerous
diseases that medical men have
to contend with, often follows a
cold or attack of the grip. The
cold prepares the system for the
reception and development OF
the pneumonia germ. The long
er the cold hangs on, the greater
the danger. Take Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy as soon as the
first indication of cold appears
so as to get rid of it with the
least possible delay. 1t is folly
to risk an attack of pneumonia
when this remedy may be obtain
ed for a trifle.

New Method Of Identification.

Not only are the finger prints Of ev-
cry human being different but the po-
sition Of the bones OF the fingers, and
also the shape of the nails are differ
ent. Doctor Beclere, well-known stu
dent of photography utilizes this fact
In new method for identifying crimf-
nails. The method consists in making
an X-ray photograph Of the hand,
showing the bones and the fingernails
Ordinarily such photograph would
not show the flesh. but in order that
the record may be complete the fingers
are soaked in an Opaque salt, by
means of which all the lines and marks
are clearly shown. Doctor Beclere
considers that the possibility afforded
by his discovery Of keeping record
of nails as we'll as of finger prints
should prove of the greatest use in
identifying criminals.

layers brought gifts of value to the
household and some, knowing of the

in poultry culture, brought hens of

equipped as the laws of nature direct.
In Minturn sixty or more of the
good people of the village met at the
new home of Mr.. and Mrs. Alden
Stanley, and, bringing gifts of sugar,
fresh pork and many other articles
valuable in the domestic economy,
gave bountiful evidence of the well
come and popularity of the Stanleys

Vast Wealth in Liberia.

The Sun and New York Herald
few weeks ago was probably the first
newspaper in our country to announce
that Liberia, in West Africa, had just
come into view as very rich in natural
resources. both agricultural and min
eral. 1t is nearly as large as the state
of New York, fronts on the Atlantic
for about 800 miles and it's coast belt
is only about twenty miles wide.
North of the coast belt the whole
country is a vast forest, through
which Sir Alfred Sharpe of England
has recently penetrated. He has in
formed the Royal Geographical So
cety of the enormous population OF
this, till now, unknown forest land
and of the unexpected resources, in
Guiding gold and other minerals, that
await development there.

RACE SOON TO BE EXTINCT
Fills in Wake of Civilization Have
Spe!t Doom to the PoIynesans
of South Seas.

That modern civilization is bringing
death and determination to the splen-
did race known as the Polynesian. is
the claim of all travellers who have
spent time on the beautiful southern
Pacific islands. Charles Bernard
Nordhoff, in the Atlantic Monthly, in
sOrrOwing over this says:
ITO say that Christianity was their
undoing would be absurd; they died
and are ~dying under the encroach-
ments of the European civilization Of
which Christianity was the forerun-
ner. Everywhere in the South seas
the story has been the same, whether
told by Stevenson, or Melville, or
Louis Becke. We brought them dis
ease; we brought them cotton cloth
ing (almost as great curse); we sup
pressed the sports and merriment and
petty wars which enabled the old
islanders to maintain their interest In
life. And lastly we brought them an
alien code of morals, which succeeded
chiefly in making hypocrites of the
men whose souls it was designed to
save. Today there Is nothing to be
said, nothing to be done-the Polyne-
sian race will soon be only men,
Ory."

to go to sleep, and if l did doze off it
was only for short time, and woke
up every hour of the night I fell off

Radio Control for AirpIanes.

There can be doubt that if the war
had lasted few months longer we
would have witnessed the leading ar
mics employing great fleets of air
planes controlled by radio means. The
United States army had progressed
pretty far along this line when the
armistice was declared. The same
can be said for Germany. Now we
learn that the French have demon
strated that five or six small and in
expensive bombing planes, without pi-
lot, can be successfully guided by a
"shepherd' in larger plane through
the means of Hertzian waves.-Scienti-
