that lead minerals escaping from igneous intrusions are highly mobile and usually trav- ell much higher than copper and certain gold ores, etc. This causes them to choose their abode on the top floors of the geologic apartment house. Perched this high up they are in greater danger of being cut away by erosion. It follows as a corallery that areas which have not been seriously cut down are particularly good places to prospect for lead ores. Anyone with knowledge of geology readily appreci- ates that there are many ex- captions to this generalization but it is worthy of mention.
 The Coast Range and the Alaska Range fill these re- quirements, and with the lead deposits of the Rocky Noun tains as an example, it is logi- cal to turn with hopeful eyes to these scantily prospected sections of Alaska in the search for future lead sup plies.-Valdez Miner. l

 Q discovery. Apalyzing the wit al statistics furnished by the census bureau, it has found that in the United States "al- most invariably the number of male births exceeds the number of female. This is true not only in the United States, but also, it appears, in Eng land and Wales"
 To be sure. It is also true in France, Germany, Canada, Ja- pan, Guatemala and the is- land of Tahiti. Scientists have known for a long time that it is the general rule that 1O4 to 106 males are born for ev- ry 100 females. The fact has even erept into the encyclo- pedias. If the correspondent of the noted medical journal had called up any doctor who knows his business, he would not have been so startled by the census bureaus figures.

ALASKA LIKELY
 SOURCE OF LEAD

The lead mining districts of the world can scarcely keep pace with the increasing in- duatrial demands f or this use. fpI metal. It is not probable that new areas comparable to the Occur d'Alene district of Idaho remain undiscovered Tn the United States. While the known fields are being inten.
 ively mined and exploited, IL is vital that the search tol new fields be vigorously pros ecuted.
 According to Dean Patty, of the Alaska College. there is no more likely place for such search than Alaska. He, re- gards as particularly favor able the area of '..FooA rocks flanking the eastern marg1., of the Coast Range batholite in the section between Ketch- ikan and Juneau, and also the Alaska range between the railroad belt and the Kusko- kwim, an area where leao ores are known to occur. Lead ores are not confined to any single formation, yet their al- finity for limestone is too we'll known to the prospector to require further mention.

VOLCANIC ACTION
 IN ALASKA

The service for continuous observation of volcanic action in the United States, whereby; as recently announced, Las sen volcano in California is to be equipped with an expert ment station, will be extended to Alaska, according to Min ing Truth.
 The work is under a newly established Section of Volcan- ology, Dr. T. A. Jaggar in charge, of the United States Tnterior Department, Geologi- cal Survey. Hitherto this work has been limited to a station in Hawaii National Park. Un- der the new service the head quarters of volcanic research remain under Dr. Jaggar in Hawaii at Kilauea volcano. MT. Roy H. Finch, who has been first assistant at the Ha- waiian station, will operate the Lassen station, equipping it with seismographs and mak- ing studies also of slow move ments, weather conditions, and underground temperatures.
 [ MT. Ronald M. Wilson, to- pographic and geodetic en, gineer, takes charge of the seismograpihc laboratory at the Hawaiian Volcano Obser- vatory and bcomes geodetist to the Section of Volcanology, as aid to Dr. Jaggar in phy- sical investigations and all matters pertaining to chang ing ground levels in relation to tidewater and horizontal movement determined by pre- else triangulation.
 A reconnaissance of the Alaska Peninsula and the Aleutian Islands will be made in the near future by Dr. Jag gar, with view to establish ing a permanent station there.

A SeRlous RRonLENa

Considerable discuaaion : iG heard these days as to the means that might be adopted to keep folks on the farm. The situation has become Ser3- ous, for many experienced farmers are moving into the cities, either for the purpose of earning what they consider easier money, or to use their savings in giving their children and themselves the advantage of city life. Whatever the cause, the situation remains. and it constitutes . problem that may well engage the at tention of national and state authorities. The fear is ex- pressed that the production of food may become reduced to such an extent tlat the scarcity will not only greatly increase prices, but threaten the welfare of the people.
 While the reasoning is pure ly academic and subject to the views of each individual, it is probably true that the per sons who make occasional trips from the rural districts to the larger towns enjoy these sAGits and the things they see much more than those who seo them every day. In the matter Of better school facili- tiea in the townss there is in most cases no place for srgu- ment, although some progress has been made in a number of states to bring about Q cen tralizstion of teaching that gives country pupils some of the advantages of the city in a course of study.
 There is nothing to justify undue pressure to keep men and women and boys sand girls on the farms. Rural life should be sufficiently attractive in it. self that enough persons will make choice of the country life to insure the crops of grain and quantities of other foodstuffs needed to main tain all the people at 6 reas- onable cost.
