Some of this liquor is coming out for legiti- mate purposes; much more, though, according to Wayne B. Wheeler, of the Anti-Saloon League, i ty dry spots, partionlarly to damper thit jr barge eitios. Wheeler has a remedy: Let Uncle Sam go into the wholesale liquor business, he urges. “The government should take over the liquors, sell them for legitimate purposes, and return the proceeds to the owners, less the expense of sale.” This would, undoubtedly, halt the flow of “bonded liquors into bootlegging bottles, especi- ally if the liquors, as Wheeler suggests, be medi- cated or denatured before it is withdrawn from the warehouses. OUTWITTING A VOLCANO Mt. Kloot, on the Island of Java, has formed the very bad habit of spilling down upon the plains below from time to time some 38,000,000 tons of water mixed with volcanic ash and other material. . This happened four times during the nine- teenth century, again in 1901 and 1919. During the time between eruptions a giant lake forme in the crater of this‘voleano and the water is blown out by the explosions in the crater furnace. Engineers are now at.work trying to drain this lake agaitist the time of another explosion. - The difficulties in the way of this daring feat are tremendous, to say nothing of the constant). ‘danger. Notwithstanding all this, a tunnel is be- ing bored through the crater wall, at the level of the bottom of the crater. The work is now in progress and if it is suc- cessful; Mt. Kloot will cease to be a terror to the =Matives of Java. Java has soine 50 volcanoes, -20 of which are “more or less active. These are the real rulers of the island, because everything depends upon their activitids aiid ec- centricities—climate, weather, soil, crops, and business of all kinds. . NEXT STEP IN SERICULTURE Seems quite likely that patents will be asked soon upon a forcible feeding device designed to make silkworms eat Swiss cheese. Such an apparatus appears the logical next step in sericulture, which is a tall-brow name for silk producing... ..., i Dr. Vartain K. Osigian, lately of Harpoot, Ar- ~menia, now of, New Orleans, is very busy mak- ing silkworms eat a lot of things they never ate! before. The silkworm is a finnicky feeder. Much more so than the horse or an opera star. It eats mulberry leaves for breakfast, Imncheon and din- ner. and that’s all it will eat. | That is—all if wonld eat until Dr. Osigian fooled it with succulent leaves from a tree he’ »created by grafting the perfectly worthless osage orange with the mulberry. But hist to this— Mulberry leaves make silkworms make white silk. This new leaf makes them spin as many. colors as Joseph's well-known coat. Black silk,! ‘silk of gold, red silk and blue silk are all ‘the same to the silkworm fed with varying amounts of the Osigian osage-mulberry leaf. ; Well! Colored silks are much in demand. Silks colored by the worm are better than silks from the dye pots. Science made the silkworm dye at home with feeding. Hence! Silks with many holes are much in demand. Examples—stockings, peekaboo waists and veils. Surely holes in silk made by the worm and not machine made would be better. Therefore! Certainly it is reasonable td pre- dict that somebody will solve the problem by finding a new food: Swiss cheese is the most “holeful” food known and so— , The interesting part of Cox's call on Wilson wasn’t what was said but what wasn't. THE TWO NORTH POLES The North Pole and the north magnetic pole are about one thousand miles apart. Conse- quently, the magnetic needle does sot point due north at many points on the earth’s surface. J. C. Ross in latitude 70 degrees 5 minutes north THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE and longitude 96 degrees 46 minutes west, just within the Artic Circle. The real north pole as we know, the upper end of the earth’s axis, was discovered by Peary. Although the carth is a magnet it is not a very strong one. If it were composed of iron’ alone, it would have a magnetic force 17,000 times as great as it actually has, It is powerful enough, however, to. give a strong directive action to the magnetic needle. the needle of the compass, and due north is the; upper end of the earth’s axis one thousand miles | away, it is easy to account for the deviations of the compass. | It would be very disastrous for a ship to at- tempt to steer directly by the magnetic compass without making-corrections for these variations. | If a ship were steaniing at 16 knots per hour; and an error of three degrees were made in read- ing the compass, the ship would move one mile) off her course every hour, | THE SHORTEST MONTH — | In the old days when the Roman rulers had. nothing else to worry about, they did something} to the calendar.

We are expecting | mastery without apprenticeship, knowledge| without study, and riches by credit.” | * * * | | A clergyman recently said to a young man who) had complained of being discouraged : “The new is supplanting the old everywhere. The machin- ery of ten years ago must soon be sold as old iron to make room for something more efficient.’ The methods of our fathers are daily giving place to better systems. Those who have devoted their lives to the cause of labor and progress are con- stantly falling in the ranks; and, as the struggle grows more intense, men and women. with even stronger arms and truer hearts are needed to take the vacant places in the battle of life. Yet you come to me and say you are discouraged !” * * * Wright adds: “With the world full of work that needs to be done; with human nature so constituted that often a pleasant word or a tri- fling assistance may stem the tide of disaster for some fellow-man, or clear his path to success; with our own faculties so arranged that in hon- est, earnest, persistent endeavor we find our highest good ; and with countless noble examples to encourage us to dare and do, each moment brings us to the threshold of some new oppor-) tunity..
