GERMS ON POSTAGE STAMPS Physicians Have Found Microbes of Disease on Almost Every Speci- men They Examined. Dis. J. Diner and G. Horstman bought postage stamps at H0 different places and tested them for the mi- crobes of disease. They report to the Medical Times that every stamp ' was infected, and it appeared to make no difference whether they were from a drawer or cash register or exposed ‘on a desk. Among the germs they found were such deadly ones as colon bacilli. staphyloencci, streptococci, pneumo- cocc: and ‘diphtheria bacilli. The edi- tor of American Medicine comments that if postage stamps were as grave a source of infection as these facts might seem to indicate, a very large part of the population would be suffer- ing from infection, as almost every- body is in the habit of licking stamps. The fact is that an examination of the mouths, noses and throats of almost ‘Shores of America. enn, Despite popular belief that the civ- | {lization forced upon him by the white man means his ultimate extinction, the North American Indian, reviving from a long period of decadence, has shown such substantial increase in popula- ticn in recent years that he probably. 1s scarcely less numerous today than when Columbus discovered America. Startling as this assertion may be to those who have pictured American forests in the discoverer’s time as swarming with red men, it is freely advanced by experts of the govern- ment’s Indian bureau, who maintain {nat the Indian necessarily formed an exceedingly scant population which probably at no period materially ex- ceeced the total of 333,702 Indians re- ported by the bureau for last year. “The Indian no longer is to be | thought of as a dying race,” declared Dr. Lawrence W. White, an Indian au- thority of the bureau. “In support of that statement it is necessary, in the first place, to disabuse the public mind of the tradition handed down by discoverers and early colonists that American forests in their day swarmed with the dusky figures of the red man. As the Indian neglected agriculture almost completely, it is highly im- probable that this country, consider- ing its latitude, could have supported more than several hundred thousand of Lis race.” “On the other hand,” Doctor White continued, “the Indian in the present dey. after periods of sharp decrease following as a natural reaction to sud- den contact with the civilization of the white man, is seen to be making substantial gains in population. “While many estimates or guesses of the Indian population were made during the past century,” said Doctor Whi‘e, “ranging from less than 100, (00 -to 400,000, the first reliable cen- sus was made by the Indian bureau in 1870, when the population was placed at 215712. So figures demonstrate that in the last 50 years the Indian population has made a substantial net gain.” SRS CUEUEUC UC INNA ELE $10.00 Before you make an error and pay $3 to $5 more for ladies’ Pumps, Oxfords and Ties look over our line and see just what we can give you in value for Ten Dollars.

Reports are that twenty Chinese, besides a large num- ber of cattle, sheep and other animals, have been killed and devoured in the district that the hunters will visit. The country, which is about 1,000 feet above the plains along the upper foot- hills, has been in a state of terror since last summer.

The fig family, Moraceae, is one of the largest in the vegetable world. Botanists have identified and de- scribed more than 600 species, mostly tropical evergreens, frequently of gi- gantic proportions, often climbers or epiphytic. The species Ficus carica thrives in Egypt, but is of little value; also Ficus sycomorus, the fruit of which is consumed with relish by Egyptians; Ficus roxburghii, native of lower slopes of the Himalaya moun- tains of northern India, produces frui: of very large size, in massive clusters. but of not very high quality; Ficus pseudocarica of northeastern Africa. produces small, dark-colored, sweet. quite palpable fruit, the capriz form of which is receiving considerable atten- tion in California. The original home of the cultivated fig conforms quite generally to that of the olive. Karakul Fur. Karakul, Persian lamb and Astra- khan furs come from the region Bokhara, in Turkestan.

If the animal be killed within three days of its birth and skinned at once | the fleece remains unchanged.

Passengers on one of the Hudson riv- er ferries in New York were treated in the summer of 1919 to the edd spec- tacle of a canoe sailing in their wake, all the way across the river, without any means of propulsion. What made the canoe go was 2 question that puz- zied many. The more observant no- ticed that the canoe did not keep to the smooth water directly aft the ferry- ! boat. but rode off to one side, in the rough waves that the paddle wheels kicked up. They also noticed that the | eanoe did not hug the ferryboat close. and that often it pursued its mysteri- ous course at a considerable distance. though it traveled just as fast as the ferryhoat. According to a writer in the Scientific American who explains the mystery, the canoe always took a position on the forward side of a wave and kept it all the way across. wave carried the canoe along as the surf carries the Hawaiian on his surf hoard. : — They'd Met Before.

In addition to hav- ing lost their sight, a number of these unfortunate soldiers are without arms or legs. Several ingenious devices have been invented to assist the arm- less blind soldiers to read. One of these consists of a little pocket bat- tery and a belt encircling the chest and containing small needles. The de- ( vice plays a record that causes a dif- ferent needle to prick for each letter and so the blind man reads. Oranges for Marmalade.

Before war started (Jermany was planning a library large enough to hold 10,000,000 books. Although this would have been the largest library in the world, it is by no means certain that it would have been the most use- ful. Students and business men, too, find the New York public library much more generally helpful than the Brit- {sh museum library, though the latter possesses three times as many books. Comparatively few Londoners, says a contemporary, can spare the time to visit Bloomsbury and sit vacantly for an hour under the great dome of the reading room while the books required are being sought. ees et He Was Accommodating.
