Why Traffic in United
 States Passes on Right

The reason why traffic in the Unit ed States passes on the right rather than the left, contrary to the practice of the rest of the world, has just been discovered by the Department of ASri- culture.
 It originated, says department bull letin, with the drivers of the six-horse teams of eastern Pennsylvania. The driver, instead of having seat in side the wagon, rode on the 'lazy board" sliding board of strong white oak that was pulled out on the left side of the wagon body.
 The driver usually walked beside his team or rode a saddle horse. From the lazy board he could operate the brake and call to his horses.
 Coaches and other vehicles of the day--late in the Seventeenth century were driven from the right side, but traffic had to make room for the wag- oner, seated on the left So the prac- tice of turning to the right gradually spread until it became the established American custom.

WHY
WHY= Determination of Rodents Is
 Unwise

Mans relentless war on the natural enemies of bugs may some day prove his own undoing. When the grass hoppers, locusts, army worm, cut. worms, beetles, etc, etc. which are increasing yearly, eat all of mans food they may turn upon man and devour him. In a letter to Senator McNary of Oregon Prof. A. Brazier Howell of Johns Hopkins charged that the grasshopper menace in the Middle West this summer was result of the government policy of extermlnating rodents. Pointing out that ground squirrels, gophers, etc, constitute the chief check on the increase of in- sects on the western plains where there are few insect-eating birds, Pro- lessor Howell said such animals not only eat large quantities of grasshop- pers but they actually dig up and devOur the eggs of insects. The Department of Agriculture, he claims, is practically exterminating rodents by poison over thousands of square miles with resulting terrible scourges of insects" Professor Howell would have the rodents controlled rather than exterminated.

Why Oceans Are Salt

The oceans are salty because they are the reservoir for the infowing wa ter from the land areas of the earth. These flowing waters in passing through the earth take up min ute particles of salt and hold them In suspension and finally deposit them in the oceans. When water is evaporated from the oceans the salt remains in the sea, and the rain that falls on the land is fresh water, which again flows to the oceans, dissolving more salt from rocks and earth and dep0siting 1t in the ocean. This proc ess is continuous, so that the oceans are constantly growing more salty.

Senator Frazier, chairman of the committee on Indian Af- fair, and Delegate Wicker sham in the House, have in- troduced a bill similar to the one that was presented last session but was never reported from Committee. The bill Authorizes the Tlingit and Haida Indians of Alaska to bring suit in the United States Court of Claims, and confer ring jurisdiction upon said court to hear, examine, ad- indicate, and enter judgment upon any and all claims which said Indians may have, or claim to have, against the Unit ed States"
 When this passes 1t will give the two tribes of Indians, re- siding in Southeastern Alas ka, the right to have a hear ing on what claims they may have against the United States for lands or other tribal, con- munity or individual rights, taken from them by the Unit ed States without compensa- tion therefor, at the time of the purchase of Alaska from Rus sia.
 The aim of the bill is not to recover any property rights but simply to compensate the Indians in money for the val ue of such rights as the Court of Claims may decide they are entitled to. In a number of in- stances the Indians of various states have been given the right to sue the govern ment and in most instances they have received money judgments.

Why Mahogany Turns Blue

The bluish haze that is often mo- ticed on a polished surface is nothing more than the accumulation left by moisture and dust from the atmo- sphere. This may be washed off with damp cloth or soft material, wrung out of tepid water in which little pure soap may be used if necessary, or few drops of olive oil may be put on the cloth. Wipe off with soft, dry cloth or clean chamois.

The annual report of the Secretary of War shows that during the fiscal year 1881 the Washington-Alaska Mill tary Cable and Telegraph System handled traffic as fol- lows: Commercial traffic, "This line," S289,431.43; i; "Otho~ lines," $44,5S4.51 Government business, $399,- CPS; total, $673,643.94-less other line payments $44,584.- 51-making net credits, $629,- 059.43. This is a net credit of $6,956.91 over the previous year. It is further stated that for the past year the Alaska system has been intensively engaged on the project to re- place the Alaska cable by ra- dio circuits. The new land transmitter building in Seattle was completed, the existing apparatus installed and every thing placed in readiness for installation of transmitters to be delivered in August 1881. The new transmitter building at Anchorage and the tempor- ary remote receiving building at Ketchikan were completed.

The twins are six months old, and
have been described by doctors as be-
ing in perfect health.
A few days after Harris made his
offer he fled from Hutchinson, taking
with him his wife and babies. He had
confded in friends that he had feared
that city and county authorities would
take action against him, since he had
refused to move to the county farm

SUGAR CROP STARTS
FOR DINING TABLE

deep pit where an endless conveyor
belt delivers it to the crushers.
'The crushers send forth stream
Of foamy juice and a badly mangled
mass of cane fiber. The fiber energies
from the last crusher almost as dry as
finder and is conveyed to the fire box
to make steam for the destruction Of
other stalks.
meanwhile the cane juice Is
strained and mixed with whitewash.
The mixture is heated to degree just
above the boiling point. The white
wash neutralizes the acid in the juice
and invites some foreign substances to
join it at the bottom of the tank. 9th
err impurities take flight in the opposite
direction, Joining the foam on the sur
face so that the liquid in the middle is
clean, pure juice which is drawn off
through excelsior filters.
Large evaporators begin the proc
ess of Transforming cane juice to SUI
gar. Once through the evaporators,
where portion of the liquid has been
removed, the sirupy mass is poured
into vacuum pans where sugar crys-
tails show themselves for the first time
in the sugar-making process. A man
in charge of a vacuum pan is called a
sugar master. AS the thick strip slow
ly boils and crystalizes, the sugar mas
ter adds fresh juice from time to time.
The sugar from the fresh juice clings
to the crystals already formed. The
vacuum pans finally become filled with
sugar and mother strip. Then the SUI
gar is removed to a machine that
swirls 1t at the rate Of from 1000 to
1,4OO revolutions minute, forcing all
the strip from the crystals.
"The strip again is boiled and pro-
cessed until it is relieved Of nearly ev-
cry particle of sugar. The remaining
liquor Is the 'blackstrap' Of commerce.
Raw sugar is yellow. 1t is whitened

All Adults in Village
Are Sentenced to Jail

Kovno, Lithuania.-The entire adult
population of the village of Naujami-
esta has been sentenced to Jail and
the 400 inhabitants have begun serv-
ing terms of from two to four weeks
In relays Of ten persons. The Jail ac-
commodities only ten at time.
The wholesale sentence was the re-
suit of forty-two-year court action
over the right of the citizens to gather
firewood in nearby forest, where for
generations they had found fuel, al
though the government frequently
warned them that the property be-
longed to the state and that trespass-
ing was forbidden.
The town first filed suit against
Czarist Russia and later against the
republican government Of Lithuania.
created after the World war. Police
served thousands of notices of viola
ton Of the law, and many fines were
assessed, while the suit was being de.
cided by the courts. The government
eventually won the action, but by that
time every person in Naujamiesta had
been fined once or twice.
None would pay fine and the jailer
decided to let them serve Jail terms
in relays. Meanwhile the population
continues to gather firewood from the
forest as before.

his mind Is wandering far into the
future when he shall have finished his
course in college, and the period Of
probation which every great man, en-
gineer or otherwise, must 60 through,
and shall have become a great engi-
neer. He has not realized that meet
ing simple and possible situations Of
today will help him to the realization
Of the dream tomorrow.
Mr.. T. E. Lawrence In his "Revolt Of
the Desert" is riding with Zeki, an
enthusiastic Syrian. over the hot sands
of the Syrian desert. It is trying
journey for man and beast, and the
weary camels are worn out from over
work and undertaking Zeki's beast
is full Of mango, and his attention is
called to the fact.
"Alas and alack," he says in sad
tone Of voice, ''in the evening, very
quickly, when the sun is low, we shall
dress her skin with ointment"
1t would have been very simple
thing to do, and quite within the
range of possibilities, but instead Zeki's
brain takes fire and his Imagination
runs riot. He conceives a great or
ganization through which not only
camels but all other suffering auimals
shall be taken care Of by the state.
Hospitals he will have and skilled
surgeons and medicaments of all sorts
and a great library Of medical books
in which can be found remedies for
all suffering animals, and travelling in
spectors to look out for and bring
in the ailing animals, and under these
subinspectors. 1t was a wonderful
scheme pregnant with possibilities.
but while his Imagination was work
ing and the details Of his great Or
ganization were being worked out, his
poor camel, nothing having been done
to relieve Its, distress, died Of its
mango.
