SMALL APPROPRIATION FOR NEW KODIAK SCHOOL FALLS
 FAR SHORT

While in Kodiak recently U. s.
 Commissioner A. F. Stowe, over
 .2eard a man telling about how
 hard he had worked with the legis- lators of the recent session to se- cure an appropriation for the Ko-
 diak school Regarding this sub-
 ject the Commissioner writes
 in this wise:
 Our last years school faculty the Kodiak School Board and the Commissioner of Education agreed land decided that it would take at least $25,000 to construct such a building as the present enrolment Iof pupils requires, and, to cut this down to $17,000 is manifestly unfair to the children of Kodiak.
 Tt is suggested by some that the Commissioner of Education spend the $17,OOO in the purchase of big tent rather than to waste it in the construction of a building that will soon have to be replaced by one larger and better equipped as will surely have to be done. An 8x1O tent is all right for a couple of proSpectors but eight prospectors cannot live in it with any degree of comfort or convenience. If it can be done it is best that steps should be taken by the school board to stop advertising for bids for the construction of an inadequate, in sufficient building and try and get along with the old, rotten and di- Iapldated structure until a new legislature is elected. who will take the.l pains to sinVestigaterand know what they are doing before making appropriations from the public FunoYT 12a EnR1IA 5eaSF7

Dust Now Recognized
~ as Powerful Explosive

= 1t Is more or less generally well
known that all dust accumulations rep
resent a menace of no mean proper
lions. Dust is explosive and many
mills werN wrecked by this mysterious
power before the real cause was un-
derstood. In a mine, for instance, the
explosion taking place in one cham
ber was carried to the next and so on
until the explosive force swept through
tl.s entire mine and the workings
were wrecked completely. It is only
within a comparatively few years that
1t was ascertained that this march Of
destruction was conducted through thu
subterranean passages by the accumu-
lation of dust on the walls and In the!
crevices. Now this is avoided by q
coating which is sprayed on and which
prevents the dust thus treated from,
exploding. In the case of grain mills
the damage done by these mysterious
bursts was particularly severe and the
government agencies have been giving
considerable attention to the study of
these mysterious blasts. In the course.
of some experiments it was found pos
sible to drive an automobile engine by
the use of finely powdered corn dust.

Scientists Not Agreed
as to Color of Moon

The moon is not white, it is brown !;
Mars is not red, it greenl These are
the latest suggestions of astronomers.
committee Of the Carnegie institu-
tion, in Washington, reports that the
apparent silvery whiteness of moon
light is due to contrast with the dark
ened sky. The actual color of the
moon, they believe, is the dull brown
of weathered rocks. This suggests
that the surface Of the satellite may
have been weathered by oxidation at
some previous time, although the moon
is known to have no atmosphere now.
Mars, according to E. J. Gounod of
the Amateur Astronomers association,
may be covered with green vegetation
like the earth. The reason it appears
red, he says, is that the light rays have
to pass through the atmosphere of
both Mars and the earth before they
reach our eyes. These atmospheres
filter out the blue and green rays but
allow the red rays to pass. The three
reasons most often given for the red
color of Mars, says Popular Science
Monthly, are that the planet is "rusty"
with iron rust, that its soil and rocks
are red or that it is red vegetation.

Americas Great Debt
to Alexander Hamilton

II Without any question it was Alex
lander Hamilton who laid the founda-
ltions for the material prosperity of
the United States.
He was the founder Of our whole
financial system. AS our first secre-
tary of the treasury in President
iWashington's cabinet, Hamilton de-
vised the governmental funding sys-
tenn, the internal revenue bureau, the
sinking fund, the national bank, the
federal mint and currency system.
He was the father of the protective
tariff and was the first to propose and
vigorously defend the doctrine of the
implied powers Of the Constitution"
He was first to advocate internal
Improvements and the building of
roads and bridges.
Talleyrand, one Of his old friends,
passing Hamilton's window very late
one night, wrote:
Il have seen q man who made the
fortune of nation and labored all
night to support his own family"
After his death his private affairs
were found to be in terribly tangled
condition and it was only through
special act of congress that his widow
was supplied with funds-Thrift Mag
azine.

Dire Punishment for
Man "Mute of Malice,

"Mute of malice" is legal term of
considerable antiquity, and applies to
prisoners who on being arranged in
court refuse to plead. In a recent
Dublin case, counsel said that to seek
a verdict Of this kind nowadays was
only an "absurd formally"
But once it was not so. Then PEN
atty was terribly severe. Here is an
instance as late as 1740. A highway
man, who pretended to be dumb and
refused to plead at Kilkenny assizes,
was tried as to whether he was mute
and lunatic by the hand Of God or will
fully So" On being found mute Of
malice" he was sentenced to be
pressed to death, decree which was
carried out in the market place.
GAS the weights were heaping on the
wretched man" (says an account) "he
earnestly duplicated to be hanged,
but it being beyond the power Of the
sheriff to deviate from the mode Of
punishment prescribed in the sentence,
even this was an indulgence which
could be no longer granted to him.

Moon and the Weather
in No Way Connected

Curiously persistent are the various
superstitions relating to the effect or
the moon on the weather or on the
farm crops. One of the most unrea-
sonable of these beliefs, says the
weather bureau of the United States
Department of Agriculture, is that II
the horns of the new crescent moon
tip downward, it is "wet" moon,
portending rain.
AS matter of fact, on any given
date the position of the crescent moon
is always the same in places having
the same latitude, so the same kind
of weather would necessarily prevail,
were this sign of any value, through
out a belt of latitude extending around
the globe. Again, near the equator,
in a part of the world notorious for
it's heavy rainfall, the young moon
is generally in an almost horizontal
position, or, according to the proverb,
it is almost always a dry moon. If
the moon could be viewed from the
North or South pole, on the other
hand, its position would be, for the
superstitious, Indicative of wet"
weather, but these regions are char
acterized by so little rainfall and snow
that they rank among the arid parts
of the globe.

to the police, although all she had in
