PeriIs Don't Scare Applicants.

Fl PasO, Texas.-Hazards of employ ment are not deterrent to hundreds of men who are anxious to get into the prohibition enforcement service. Ac- cording to Acting Supervisor John Toomey, more than 300 applications are on file in the local office, thirty of them being received in one day. This in face of the fact that four agents working out of the Fl Paso office have met violent deaths in the last two months, and a number of others were seriously wounded. Mr. TOomey says no new men are being put on.

BOUNDARY DRAWN BY NATURE
Caucasus Range Seems to Form Nat uraI Dividing Line Between the
 Two Great Continents.

The Caucasus range. one of the most remarkable of all geological phenomena, is the boundary between Europe and Asia, and an almost im- penetrable wall which can be crossed by vehicles or hOrsemen in only two places, known as the Dariel and the ManissOn passes. From the begin ming of history until the middle ages 1t was the boundary of the world. writes William Eleroy Curtis, in Around the Black Sea-" Beyond. all was mystery and fable. and for that reason the ancients made the Caucas- us the scene of much mythological ac- tivity and the home of many marvels- They called the country COlchis. and 1t was there that Jason and the Ar gonauts found the Golden Fleece. Prometheus was chained to one of the peaks by the gods to punish him for giving fire to the mortals.
 The first Europeans to find their way through the rocky labyrinths were Greek and Genoese traders, who crawled through the canyons on foot in the middle ages In search of GUS toners.

be in normal or similar conditions in
 ten, twenty or thirty years The big
 difficulty is that the last decade has
 been too abnormal to use it as a
 basis for calculation.
 In 1900 our population was 75.904,- 575. In 1910 it jumped 15,977,691, or 21 per cent, over this figure to 91 ,972,- 266, and in 1920 it had jumped 13.736,- 5O5 more, or 14.9 per cent to a total of more than 10OOOO,OOO. Among other things the period from 1900 to 1919 was a good one for immigration. The 1910 to 1920 decade was decidedly otherwise, and its percentage of in crease was the lowest in history.
 The coming decade, from now until 1880, is expected to be an unusual i'm migration period. With our natives increasing by births In addition to prospective immigration, if congress puts no bar in the way, the increase in the next decade should approach between 20 and 25 per cent of our present, and a total of 130,OO0,OO0 people in 1880 is not considered by statisticians of the census bureau to be too wide
 From the growth of the country in the last hundred years it is easy to appreciate the growth in the size of the job undertaken each ten years by the census bureau. Gradually the work of enumeratlng the population and the facts concerning them has been reduced to mechanical processes.
 From the days of horseback travel in 1790 the census taking has gone through an evolution in respect to size, methods and matter. At first only individuals were counted and later information concerning the fam fly was gathered. It was not until 1850 that information concerning agri- culture, industry, religion, literacy, schooling, occupations, quarries and mines and the like were noted.
 The census of 1850 was called the modern census" for a number of years following Ins 1870 machine tabulation was introduced and later came the more rapid electrical ma chine tabulation. By 1880 150 super visors and 31,3S2 enumerators were engaged in taking the census. Today there are almost three times that num- Der of enumeratOrs.
 In addition, the census bureau takes various special censuses, such as census of the fisheries, central electric stations, schooling, religion and has even got down to taking a census of drainage conditions in agricultural areas. To do this work it employs many special agents skilled in that line of work.
 The most modern feature of the cen sus is its card indexing and tabulat- ing work. The census bureau has de- signed its own tabulating card. This card registers the section of the country in which person lives, wheth- CT a male or female, age, nativity, Oc- whether employed or unem- ployed, what language he speaks, whether a naturalized citizen by birth or alien and similar data respecting his parents.
 The cost of taking the census in 1920 amounted only to about 21 cents per capita for all the people in the United States.

FINDS HILL OF MAPLE SUGAR
Huge Deposit Discovered in Ohio by Scientist Has Qualities of
 Maple MoIasses.

ChillicotAe, O.-There was no need for Ross county to suffer during the sugar famine, for there's a hill of the stuff in the vicinity of Chimney Rock. It was discovered by Clinton F. Houser, head of the chemistry and physics de- partment of the Chillicothe high school. Near Chimney Rock is an ele- vation composed of sandstone sil!cates and covered with shale. Between the layers is hard layer of stone of pecu- liar characteristics. An analysis of this shows solution having the quail ties of maple mOlasses. Presence of the sandstone in the deposit indicates that at one time the hill marked a spot on a shore line and 1t is thought that the maple sugar rocks may be the result of a gum-like deposit washed up by the waves. The sugar hill Is now 175 feet high.

lovely face but with a great black patch over his heart. It was over where the heart should be and it was in the shape of heart but they thought he had a beautiful face and lovely, kind expression.
 "Who are you?' the boy asked.
 'Tm a kind friend" said the crea- ture. He looked about the size of Mir Wood Elf.
 We're lon our way to the Hos pitality Hotel" said the boy.
 The creature held his arms over his chest as though to hide the black patch and as though he had made a great mistake not to hide it in the first place. He seemed quite nustered
 '"They fell asleep, those two you left" said the creature, because they couldn't keep awake any longer. They never can accomplish anything all the way through. Tbey always have to stop before 1t is over. This time 1t was lucky for you. They're not full of harm, nor do they mean to be cross and all of that. They just go along trying everything and leaving 1t before 1t is finished.
 ITO be sure they thought of taking you away in a trunk but they wouldn't have taken you far. You'd have been too heavy and while the Moving Man carries that trunk he doesn't like to carry anything in it. And Miss Roll ing Stone, or Mrs. Moving Man, cares not to carry anything either. She won't even carry a moss blanket to put in their cottage, and they never keep a cottage any length of time. They have no real home in conse- Quence.
 "Now boy and girl I say we have some soda water There Is a soda fountain down this road to refresh travellers on their way. You're on your way, I can see. That's what made MT. Moving Man SO mad. He wanted to keep you from getting to the place he had wanted to go to but had never had the patience to keep on with the long journey. He is one of these restless souls who makes everyone else restless, or tries to.
 'Now, we'll go to the soda water fountain"

THE ESCAPE.

It had been a bad time for the boy and the girl adventures when they thought that they might be carried away in Mir. Moving Mans trunk.
 "Why do you want to put us in the trunk?" the girl had asked.
 'We might find you could sell for a good deal at the market" the old man had said.
 "Well, won't you go in that way, please?" the boy had asked, pointing in the direction of the Hospitality Hotel
 ''No sir" the old man had replied.
 He hates that way" Miss Rolling Stone, or Mrs. Moving Man had said. She could be called by both names correctly.
 He's mad, you see, because he didn't get to the House of Secrets. He doesn't want any one else to get there. He didn't want the long journey there."
 The boy looked at the girl. They didn't know what to do. They were held tight and they looked at the now wide-open trunk. They couldn't bear to think they would be carried around in 1t, bumped this way and that, and perhaps suffocated too, and yet they couldn't but believe that they would somehow get back to the real road again 50 they could go on to the House of Secrets.
 And we were to go to the Hos pitality Hotel this very evening"" said the boy. T believe it's almost time"
 "Oh,' said the girl suddenly, then she added very softly, "Tm free. Miss Rolling Store has gone to sleep standing up! Oh, you're free too. Let's hurry" The old man had begun to snore.
 They hurried down the road, run ming as hard as they could. They got well out of sight of the old man and woman.
 Weren't they horrible?" asked the boy.
 But how strange that they should fall asleep so suddenly" said the girl.
 Not strange at all," said a voice. and looking they saw creature with
