Marvellous Number of
Nerve Cells in Brain

The piece Of machinery which Oper-
ates more like the brain than any
other is the automatic telephone. The
televox Is more spectacular, but its
work is limited. In the operation Of
the automatic telephone the selection
is made in the same way-by a series
of number signals rung. In succession,
by small contact point behind the
telephone dial as 1t turns. But instead
Of the hundred separate signal COM
binations that the televox can under
stand, the telephone system has place
for nearly ten billions.
Yet even this vast sum the human
brain exceeds. The number Of living
nerve cells in the surface gray mat
ter of the brain is more than 5000
100000. If it be assumed that these
can be connected to one another in
the same fashion as telephone sub.
scribers area process that experts
agree Is probably something like what
happens during thinking-the num-
Der of possible interconnections would
be about 100000, 600, OOO,OOO,OOO.

The former actress, Ida Claire, had Z

The former actress, Ida Claire, had .
remarkable wit and cleverness.
Once she was playing In small
town In one Of those breath-taking
melodramas Of former times. The
climax came at the end when she fell
dead, poisoned, while the curtain
slowly assembled.
One evening after she had dropped
dead and was waiting to be shut from
view the curtain got hung. 1t would
not come down.
People In the audience seeing the
curtain remain up decided the play
was not over. so they sat and waited.
Ida on the stage kept up her simu-
lation of the rlgidity Of death, but It
was very trying on her nerves and
muscles and she was hoping every
second the curtain would start down.
Finally she despaired Of the stage
hands fixing the thing, so with
bound she rose to her feet and cried
angrily at the invisible enemy:
"The villains! They win not let me
rest even In deathw
And with properly offended atti-
tude she founced OF the stage.-Path-
finder Magazine.

American Elk Splendid
Creature of the Wild

The American elk, or wapiti. Is the
most beautiful and stately of all the
deer tribe. he Is not actually an elk.
for the name really belongs to the elk
of Europe. an animal very closely re-
lated to our moose.
Some of the Indian tribes called
him wapiti. and we might well let 1t
go at that, believing that it Is good
name, writes Arthur Newton Pack In
Nature Magazine. At any rate, when
I first saw ONE of these great. tall
antlered bulls looking at me as ! crept
to the edge Of the lick, my heart GER
tainly went wapity-wapity-wap.
I remembered that onee-once upon
q time--these handsome fellows had
ranged from the Atlantic slope to the
Rocky mountains and beyond to the
very Pacific; but now there were but
few left and most of those were here
In the Rocky mountain woods.
While the elk are content to stay in
the mountains during the summer, the
deep winter SHOWS drive them down
to the valleys, where men make fences
out Of piled antlers.

Death by Sunshine

Sunshine, the great cure-ail and
life-glver, is a paradox in one case at
least. Through the medium Of the
geranium 1t spells death to insects.
Insects which are attracted by the
leaves of this beautiful plant feast
upon them and then drop paralyzed
and usually die. Where the sun comes
In Is indicated by the fact that the
deadliness Of the poison depends upon
the amount of exposure to the sun of
the plant, those Of longest exposure
being the deadliest.
This discovery has opened up a new
field In the study of insecticides and
experiments are being pushed to de-
termine what the death-dealing agent
may be.

Regulating Climate

Just as in winter one opens his win
dow to let in the cold air when the
room is too warm, Washington me-
teorologist suggests using the ice of
the polar regions to regulate the earth's
climate. This may be done by having
international expeditions sail to the
Arctic and Antarctic and blast huge
chunks of ice from the glaciers. This
would let more icebergs into the
oceans and would considerably mod
crate the heat Of summer. Those ice
bergs which are naturally found in
the North Atlantic have beneficial
effect on the climate Of Europe, among
other things preventing droughts. Sim
arly, Antarctic icebergs are Of benefit
to Australia.
Deposit of Travertin
Uncovered in Florida
An industry that fiourished 1000
years ago, and which continues to
produce great wealth for Italy. is un-
dergoing development in the United
States. Extensive deposits Of traver-
tin In Manatee county, Florida, have
furnished new and unexpected
source of supply.
1t was travertin that the Romans
used in the Coliseum and other struc-
lures Of ancient times which stand
today in whole or in part Wherever
destruction has taken place it was
the hand of man and not the elements
that destroyed. In later centuries 1t,
aly's travertin quarries continued to
supply stone for some of the great
monuments of Rome, notably st.
Peters and other large churches. The
medieval builders knew the beauty
and wearing qualities of trayertin no
less than did the ancients. But trav.
ertin was material used only in Italy
and to, a limited degree in the rest Of
Europe until the era of our great
buildings began.-New York Times.

Potato Inspector

Under the terms of the potato inspection bill
passed by the last special term Of legislature growers
of potatoes in Texas are offered a protection which
should be of great benefit in establishing grades and
assuring payment on proper basis for all potatoes
sold.
The bill, introduced by Polk Hornaday at the re-
quest of the Rio Grande Potato Growers association
provides for the establishment of grades, the employ
ment of inspectors to grade all shipments, the mark
ing of all cars and provides a penalty for violations.
Railroads are prevented from accepting any pota-
toes for shipments before they have been inspected
and graded. This applies, however. only in counties
that have established the inspection service.
Establishment Of the service is at the option OF the
commissioners court Of each county. The county is
made liable for the pay of inspectors, but they are
appointed by the state department of agriculture.
This bill has passed the house and senate and now
Is before the governor for signature.
The effect of the measure will be to cause all po-
tatoes to be sold at their true grade and will assure
the top price for all potatoes which are entitled to
that rating.
It also will be a protection to the buyers in the
markets of the nation and will prevent low grade po-
tatoes being sold to wholesalers in the cities at prices
above the market for the grade being offered.
The bill requires that a certificate be nailed inside
each car by the inspector telling the grade of the po-
tatoes in that car. 1t is made unlawful for this GER
tificate to be removed until the potatoes are unloaded.
Thus the purchaser will be able to tell exactly what
grade potatoes are being offered. Another protection
is that the grade must be marked on the bill of lading
by the railroad agent.
This will help to firmly establish the quality of
Valley grown potatoes in the markets of the United
States and help to build UP a demand for the Valley
variety.
The Cameron county. commissioners court is ex-
pected to request the state department of agriculture
to establish the service in this county and it also
likely will be established in Hidalgo county.

Washington Letter
By HERBERT c. PLUNrMER

WASHINGTON, July 2.-Three thousand years
ago or more King David set out to count the inhabi-
tantS of Israel ana Judah. 1t took nine months and
20 days to do the job. The returns showed 1900, 0oC
valiant men that drew the sword"
That first census must have been a leisurely affair
At least it appears SO to William M. Steuart, director
Of the bureau Of the census, department Of commerce,
who now is getting ready to count the population OF
the United States.
Steuart has one month In which to enumerate
100. 00o,o coo persons, say nothing Of obtaining, in the
same period, a vast amount Of information about
100000 farms. $4,000 mines and quarries and more
than 100000 irrigation and drainage projects.
BIG JOE
Consider what that means.
The entire area Of the United States must be laid
off into enumeration districts. There will be approx
imately 5000, each to be canvassed by a single
enumeration.
In the cities these districts will comprise on the
average about 1900 persons. The rural districts will
be smaller, but the enumerator must cover a much
larger territory and also get data for the farms.
Steuart must see that his army of 100000 enumer-
ators is selected, instructed. sworn into office and be
ready to begin work on the census day.
And after the actual count is completed he must
increase his office force in Washington from 500 to a
maximum of more than 5000 for tabulating the re-
suits.
The population count will begin early in May, 1890
The work will cost in excess Of $39,OOo,ooo.
THE TURK SYSTEM
Steuart is confident that everything viii proceed
smoothly.
Fortunately" ne says, "the taking Of the census
IN this country will not be accompanied by such
scenes as we're witnessed in Turkey when that coun-
trys first census was taken in 1927.
"The Turks imprisoned the entire population in
their houses on the day Of the census. No one was
allowed to go out on the streets, no trains or street
cars were run, and armed guards were on patrol to
arrest anyone found at large.
IN Constantinople it was not until completion of
the census at 1918 p. m. that the people were re-
leased from their houses"
The census bureau has grown and enlarged its ac-
tivities until, at the present time, it is the largest
statistical organization in the world. The data coll
iected by it is confidential and can be used only for
statistical purposes.
