Of $50 Americans Is able to direcl the

relief administration.

The entire American personnel is
distributed into twenty.four districts
each district, save four railroad cen
tiers, being in charge of supervisor
responsible to headquarters at Mos
COW. These groups serve an area
of nearly 100000 square miles, larg.
er than the United States.
Districts adjacent 10 the Volga
valley, the heart Of the famine re-
gion, receive the greatest attention
From Kazan, the seat of the govern
lnent of the Tartar republic, south of
Astrakhan at the mouth of the river
on the Caspian sea, every rail head
on the Volga is manned by Ameri-
can units. Here sixty men supervise
the feeding of more than 100000
people.
In the Ukraine and the Crimea the
five strategic points of Kiev, Khar-
TOW, Odessa, Ekaterinoslav and The
odosia are the bases of supplies from
which twenty-seven Americans direct
child feeding and food remittance
deliveries.
Refugee kitchens and stations for
food remittance are operating AT vi
tebsk, Minsk and Gomel providing for
the district west of Moscow to the
Polish border. Beyond the famine
zone on the upper Volga, Americans
are in charge of transfer warehouses
at two points, and also at two inter-
mediate points between Moscow and
Volga. Corn is shipped directly thru
these centers for transhipment to
famine centers.
Thus very thickly populated cen

INVENTOR OF VANE UNKNOWN
But Devices for Showing the Direction
Of the Wind Have Been in
Use for Centuries.

The origin of the weather vane is
which there is any record is that
mentioned by Vitruvius. and the ruins
Of the Tower of the Winds, of which
he speaks, still stands in Athens. This
building was erected about a century
before the Christian era. He writes
Those who have paid most atten-
ton to the winds make them eight in
number, and particularly Andronicus
Cyrrhestes. who built at Athens an
octagOnal tower Of marble and cut on
each face the figure of the several
wi'als, each looking to the quarter
from which that wind blows.
ION the tower he placed a marble
column. on which was a Triton of
bronze holding a rod In his right hand.
And he contrived 1t that the figure
moved round with the wind so that
1t constantly stood opposite it, and the
rod, which was above the figure,
showed in what direction the wind
blew"
Effigies Of many creatures have done
duty as vanes Man himself has not
escaped. The female form divine even
has not been spared this indignity.
Such a sentiment as Is expressed In
the sentence, "Woman fickle as the
wind" may have been In the mind
Of TheOdosius the Great when he
erected at ConstantinOple, in the
Fourth century, the vane called the
Lady Of the Winds"

expectation in so ~romantically pessi-

his whereabouts could have been
made known to them, as they sat thus
together at what was developing vir-
tually into his wake, with Herbert as
a compulsory participant, they would
have turned the session into a riot Of
amaZement. Noble was in. the very
last place (they would have said,
when calmer) where anybody in the
world could have madly dreamed of
looking for him. They would have
been right about it. No one could

CAPT. LATHR0P HEADS MINING
 NENANA COAL

SEATTLE, Aug. 30.-George Wat kin Evans, of Seattle, mining engi- neer, will leave here on September 9th to open a large coal mine in the Nenana field for the Healy Creek Coal Company, backed by Captain A. D. Lathrop. Evans believes the order of H. Foster Bain to close the Chickaloon mine will have the effect of starting extensive workings in subbituminous mines at Kachemak Bay and the in terior. Evans says Nenana coal can be shipped to the interior and south as far as Anchorage, while Kache- mak coal can be shipped along the coast and as far north as Anchorage. Evans states that he believes Dr. Bain correct in his statement that Mata- nuska coal cannot compete with out side coal, owing to the presence of foreign material and it's difficult ship ment. in spite of the fact that it is 8 good quality of bituminous coal.
