People of the World.

The total population of the earth
is 1859 100000, according to the latest
edition of the GOtha HOfkalender. The
1919 estimate was 1,646OOO,O0O The
eastern hemisphere, including Europe
Africa, Asia and Australia, has 1,494,-
100000 people. while the Western hem
isphere-the Americas-ha a pOpu-
latiOn of 205,000,OOO.
The average density of population
of the earth is 2S.5 per square mile.
while Australia is most sparsely set
tled-245 people per square mile. In
North America the average population
per square mile is 10.
The greatest uncertainty exists as
to the population of Persia, Abyssinia
and the Congo, estimates differing from
100000 to 100000, 5000, 900 to 10.

Degrees and Rank

The two degrees, D. D., and Ii. D.,
are quite different The first is doc
tor of divinity, that is, a person
learned in those subjects that form
the education of a divine or theOlo-
gian. The second, LID, is doctor of
laws, the two LIS being the plural
form where initials are used This
degree is, or should be conferred upon
those deeply learned in the subjects
that make up higher education and
culture-in languages, literature, sci
ence and philosophy. The former de-
gree is only conferred upon ministers
of religion, the latter upon both min,
listers and laymen. The ranks in the
British peerage, ascending, are Baron,
viScOunt, earl, marquis, duke. Elk
OfflciO, a Latin term, from office, that
is by virtue of his office, means that
by reason of a person holding a GER
tain office he also holds certain other
offices or performs certain other func-
tons. For example, the rector of a
parish is eX-officiO, that is because he
is rector, chairman of a meeting of
the vestry, or cOngregatiOn.-MOn

FACE TELLS TRUTH
Not InfrequentIy Reveals Ones
Calling to Observer.
oped by Nature of Work Which
Is individuals Occupation.

1t seems to be pretty well agreed
authOritatively that associated with
the various occupations in life there
is undoubtedly a type of face which
more or less betrayS the calling of its
owner.
Medical men, especially in hospital
practice, find acquaintance with these
types valuable. They may not be able,
with the shrewdness of Sherlock
Holmes or of other acute persons, to
read mans past, present and future
by a glance at him in the street, but
they are able to gauge with consider
able accuracy how far the history of
the case, as given by the patient, is
truthful one, and how far it fits with
his probable occupation in life.
Calling must certainly have some in
fuence over the physiognomy of the
cabman the butler or the groom. Each
frequently possesses a type Of face
which wears so characteristic an eX-
preston as to make it not difficult to
Identify the vocation accompanying it.
We speak also of the legal face, the
musical face, the dramatic face and the
military face. This is merely broad
classification, and the best authorities
disbelieve the claims of the keen OBJ
server that he can differentiate to a
finer degree.
There are tales of hospital physi-
clans who claim~to be able to say from
a glance at the face that this or that
man is butcher, grocer, bank
clerk, a lawyers clerk, commercial
traveller, a stock broker, and so on
1t is thought that the fame of these
medical men as rough and ready de-
tectives has been largely manufac-
tured for them by enthusiastic friends
But that many medical men do possess
great insight into the occupations of
| those who come before them is true.
The question is often debated wheth.
er phySiOgnOmy is a growth of vOca
| ton or whether it shows that the vO.
| cation chosen is in accordance with
| the particular capacity and ability OF
| the person to whom it belongs In
| other words, if the lawyer does not
| show the legal face" the aspiring
minister the ecclesiastical face" the
medical student the "physicianly face,
| the soldier the military face" the
| question arises Is that sign that
| they have mistaken their calling?
Is the man who doesn't look a bit
| like a doctor" likely to fail because
his physiognomic qualification is want
| ing? Or will he, whatever his original
| features, gradually come to acquire
| the type of the profession to which he
| belongs?
The answer to the question is, OF
| course, that both theories are right A
certain kind of face, the sO-called
| scientific face. is so often seen among
| medical students as to prove that the
| owner of that cast of cOuntenance is
| likely to adopt medicine as a career
| Conversely, whatever the original cast
| of features a medical man may have
| possessed, the anxious, delicate anC
| absorbing work of medical practice
| will put stamp upon them.

Forests in Bohemia.

In the Bohemia lands bohemia,
MOravia and Silesia) the needle for
ests predominant. The pines and frs
cover rs per cent of the forest area,
the leaf timber 81 per cent, and the
mixed about 1919 per cent. In SlOva-
kia and Carpathian Russia, the new
territories, it is noteworthy that the
leaf forests prevail, forming about 81
per cent of the whole, and the needle
forests make up the balance, or 80
per cent. Ownership of these forests
is singular. The state owns about l.
100000 acres, charitable institutions
own 100000 acres, municipalities hold
100000 acres and the large estates,
held by private owners, cover $780,
600 acres. 1t must not be taken for
granted that the extensive CZechOSlO-
wax forests were given over to the
use of the whole people. On the con-

wealthy owners, when the mere walk

wrongful intent. OF the vast estates
held by individuals about 64.35 per
cent of the whole in Bohemia were
owned in parcels larger than 1850
acres in extent. while minor holdings,
those less than 1850 acres in area,
were held by the poorer classes.

Rat Heroes.

From Paris comes the news that
the authorities are making war on
rats. But the despised rat once did
the French a good turn, according to
Colonel RepingtOn's history of the
war. He says: ION the parapets of
the front trenches are what look like
window flower boxes. They contain
chemical materials for making a smoke
screen to lift the German gas when it
comes. All the rats in the trenches
cOngregate round these smoke boxes
when the gas comes, as they realize
that they save themselves from suffo-
cation. This process of lifting the
German poison gas was discovered
quite by chance. During gas at
tack some straw was set on fire by ac-
cident and forced the German smoke
up. The rats came in swarms to squat
round the burning straw and gave the
French the hint

CAN LIVE CH6ArLY IN HAITI
Food Costs Little, and Tips for Serv-
ices Rendered Are Hardly Worth
While Considering.

Labor and living are cheap in Haiti.
There is hotel in Port au Prince,
rated as the best, that charges only
81 a day for al room and three square
meals
True, the rooms are small, with the
ancient waShbowl. and unlockable,
with concrete floors and rugless, but
they are clean and comfortable.
The same meals could not be OBJ
tanned anywhere in the United States
at double the price. Luncheon is a
an eight-course feast.
They never serve less than two or
three meats. when one. according TO
the American habit. would be enough.
There is fruit in abundance in Haiti,
and boy standing on the front porch,
overlooking the sea, often picks the
breakfast oranges.
The favorite dish is the chicken,
served 365 days in the year without
the least variation. Nobody ever
wants to see a chicken after staying
three weeks in Haiti.
A Haitian boy, waiting faithfully
on guest for u meals, beams his
delight when tipped 3 gourdes, which
is 80 cents. The maid, whose chief
duty is to spread the mosquito net.
almost drops to her knees for the same
fee weekly. The boy who fetches the
water and fixes the shoes gladly slips
| a man extra towels for 3 gourdes a
week.
Laundry at American rates would
cost more than room and board in
Haiti, if there were laundries. There
is much to go out from each room
daily to waSherwOmen, and it comes
back Spick and span at nominal cost.
But Haiti has not reached the point
where it may bid for tourist travel.
A man, stopping at the best hotel here
for the first time feels rather foolish
when he asks for room and bath and
| is conducted to a little house so feet
away, where be may get shower.
| It's a hard life for women.
The best, however, is in sharp con-
| trast with the worst, for the labOrer
gets 20 cents day, and thousands
| of natives live only on fruit that grows
wild everywhere, the year round, like
| the roses.

1t is commonplace to say that

Enerqy in the Atom.

The knowledge of radioactivity,
which has been growing since the dis
covery of the X-ray and of radium, has
revealed the atom as a tremendous
storehouse of energy. The atomic en-
ergy contained, for example, in the
two-inch piece of chalk with which
the lecturer makes his diagrams is
calculated to be 3OO,OOOOOO foot tons
enough to raise 100000 tons 5000
feet. AT present we do not know how
to liberate the power. We know that it
exists only by observing the spontane-
Gus disintegration of radioactive sub
stances; but knowledge sometimes
comes quickly; persons now living
may see the day when atomic energy
will be used-YOuths Companion.

BRITAIN GETS
 LINE TO INDIA
AnglO-French Transfer of Syria Desert Published-England's Long Cherished Dream is Realized.

Washington, Feb. 20-The complete text of the Franco British convention by which the Syrian desert is trans ferred from a French to a British mandate was received today by of ficials here and is expected to engage the close attention of the State De partment in connection with the gen. eral study of the allied mandates with which the American government for some time has been concerned.
 The pact as concluded between the French and British governments in Paris Dec. 23 contains provisions for the complete settlement of the "prob- lems raised by the attribution to Great Britain of the mandates for Palestine and Mesopotamia and by the attribution to France of the man dates over Syria and the Lebanon, all three conferred by the supreme coun- cil at San Remo."
 The two phases of the treaty which have engaged the particular attention of American officials are the estab- | lishment for the first time of the precedent of a transfer of mandate territory from one power to another by mutual agreement without refer ence to the league of nations, and the acquisition by Great Britain of her long-cherished dream of an all rail-route from the Mediterranean to India through territory under her ex- elusive political or military control.
 In the settlement of the boundaries of the mandate territories, the south ern portion of Syria bordering upon Palestine, previously allotted to France by the league of nations, is transferred to Great Britain and spe- cific provision is made for the con- struction of a British railway line linking Palestine with the Mesopota- milan railway system through the Sy- rian desert.

The Nevada County Hardware Company of this city has been award ed the exclusive right for the distri- button of the famous Victor phono- graphs and records in this territory, the announcement being made public last week by the above company. The local concern is fortunate in se- curing the agency for this world-re- nowned brand of talking machines, and they were awarded the contract only after months of effort in trying to secure same, the Victor Company being absolutely unable to supply the demand for their machines and for that reason would not appoint any new dealers until recently when they increased their output which war ranted the establishment of other agencies.
 The Victor is one of the pioneer talking machines on the market and their world popularity was gained through the originality of their pro- duet, both machine and record, and some years ago when the Victor was widely advertised as the ideal ma chine for dance music, thousands were sold on the strength of this claim It was the lovers of dance music as we'll as the lovers of pat riotic and the higher class music that helped to put the Victor on it's high plane in the world of musical instru- ments.
 Another point of excellence of the Victor which has won for it the ad- miration of the world, is its exten- sive list of artists whose talent is given exclusively by the Victor. The personnel of the Victor family of artists reads like a grand opera pro- gram and their voices arc reproduced on the records with a superhuman cleaness and a rare musical rich ness, second only to the human voice. The Victor records also include the worlds best band and other instru- mental music, speakers. dialogues, etc.
 To accommodate their customers, the Nevada County Hardware Com pany has installed very artistic re- cord cabinet which will take 5000 records and adjoioning the record cabinet are two sound cabinets for the use of prospective customers who are assured of the maximum amount of enjoying in purchasing a machine After March 1st the company will have a complete stock of machines and records.
