South American Tribe Ruled by
Women.

BOSTON. Jan. l1.-An Indian tribe
of South America ruled entirely by
women was described recently by Dr.
a Hamilton Rice in a lecture before
the Lowell Institute The tribe lives
on the Icana River, branch of the
upper Amazon, where DR.. Rice went
on a trip of exploration.
The women of the tribe appeared
to be permenent residents Of the vii
Iage, DR.. Rice said. while the men
who were there came mostly from
tribes along the River Guiana. The
ancient Amazonian legend of a tribe
Of self-supporting women, visited from
time to time by men Of other tribes
came TO the explorers mind with his
discovery, he said, and Indicated to
him that he might have found the
basis for the legend.
During his lecture, DR. Rice was
asked If he believed that former Presi-
dent Roosevelt's life had been short
ened by the effects Of his South Afri-
can Journey He replied:
yes. he died from the effects Of his
journey to South Africa There was
not a doctor in New York who knew
what allied him"

eXcavating and treating $4,000 cubic
yards of gravel "A day
These dredgos are operated by cleo
trio power and have been found to be
most satisfactory. The period Of op-
erauons is not confined to the short
summer season prevalent I'm that
district, as they can operate long
after winter has set i'm.
ON one occasion r dredze operating

dredses used for this purpose in the
Yukon Territory. These are located
ut the present time on the lower part
Of the klondyhe River, on bunker
Creek, Gold Run Greek. Dominion
Creek and HiEhot Creek.
In order to mine the submerged
beds Of river and lakes I'm the Yukon

prohibiting absinthe and its substi-
tutes, users of this brain destroying
drink and the caterers to their tastes
have evaded the law by pretended
ignorance as to what is an absinthe
substitute.
There was much agitation against
absinthe in France previous to the
war, and during the war it was por
hibited. Then there appeared a mum
Der Of substitutes. The oldfashiouv,
absinthe contained - per cent of al

from % TO so per cent. Sometimes the

from Belgium or Luxembourg, where
absinthe is still sold over the bar.
Last July a law was voted defining
exactly what is meant by an absinthe
substitute. Then the pure food bu-
reau Of the ministry Of agriculture,
through Premier Poincare, submitted
the matter to President NIillerand. and
he has issued a decree intended to re
move from public sale all Of these sub
stitute products.

Many traders had come to business

GREENLAND MOVING WEST
TWENTY YARDS ANNUALLY
Icebound Chimes May Become Hab-
liable.

LONDON, Jan. 10.-The earth is
webbing on it's axis, according to
Col. z. Jensen, the Danish scientist.
who returned recently from a degree
measuring expedition into Greenland.
He reports that Greenland is moving
westward at the rate of twenty yards
a year. This seems to confirm the re-
cent reports Of surprising climatic
changes at the north pole.
1t is now established that there is
a periodic shifting of the latitude of
the north pole. The movement is diff
ficult TO detect because of the small
area of the pOle-abOut the size of q
tennis court. Some authorities say
that the poles are gradually changing
their positions, and that this altera-
ton to the worlds axis will in time
mean that regions which are at pres
ent ice-bound will become warm and
habitable countries.

NEW YORK, July 6.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Quiet in part seasonal and in part the result of desire to adequately weigh up conditions as they present themselves at the turn of the year, has overspread the trade and industrial situation this week. Retail trade. under the stimulus of holi- day preparations, has been fair to good and the current pace of industry is still remarkably active, largely on old orders. while trade in primary lines has been on the quiet side, though fully fair with, however. more caution displayed than in any other line. Collections still drag, but crop reports apparently indicate a holding of all the gains made in June and the preponderance of opinion favoring better outturns in the earlier planted crops than seemed possible while ago. Sentiment as to the future seems mixed with If anything. a preponderance of opinion among bankers and business men on the favorable side. but the speculative inter ests inclined to take less optimistic view of various matters.
