In connection with the petition sent to Washington by a group of Spaniards, suggesting that this would be an opportune time for the United States to withdraw its troops from Santo Domingo, the National Geo- graphic Society has issued the fol- lowing bulletin concerning the island republic:- "Geographically, epublic:- "Geographically, the island of Haiti, including within its limits the two republics of Santo Domingo and Haiti, is in the class of the most. favored of nations, situated on the- Western Continent about midway be- tween its two grand divisions of North and South America, and abounding in natural resources," says the bulletin. "The name Haiti, or 'High Island,' is significant of the character of its topography. 'Sire,' once said a British admiral to his king, George III, when asked about the island, 'Haiti looks like that,' and he crumpled up a piece of paper and placed it upon the table. A brief description though this may be, it well fitted the case. The is- land is about 400 miles long and 150 miles wide. It is irregular and is intersected by three chains of moun- tains. "Historically, Haiti, or Santo Do- mingo, is the senior of our own country, if we leave out of consider- ation the legendary reports concern- ing the visit of the Norsemen to our northern coasts 800 years ago, and we are somewhat indebted sto this beautiful island for our own develop- ment. "On St. Nicholas Day (December 6), 1492, Columbus entered a`port at the extreme west end of the,;island of Santo Domingo or, as the whole island was then called by the abori- gines, Haiti. The natives theniselves called- the port Bohio, but,Columbus christened it, in honor of the day he was celebrating, Port St. Nicholas, the name still existing as St. Nicho- las. Mole. This date will ever be memorable in the annals of the Hai- tiens as marking the beginning of the history of the island. "Columbus now called the island Hispaniola in honor of the country which had sent him. forth to discover it, and it is to be regretted that this name given by the immortal dis- coverer has been lost, for its present two names are eonfiicting and con - ,fusing. ` "Columbus tirl build a' permsE after reconnoiter this purpose a plain near a spacious bay on the north coast of the island. Here was established the first town in the new world, which was dignified by the name of his queen and patron, Isabella. , "But the course of empire was still south, and soon Santo Domingo City became the centre of ;the colonial activities. "A 'little love affair connected with the growth of this city is in- teresting. One of the Spanish party, Miguel Dias, having got into difficulty with an officer, severely wounding him in combat, fled to escape pun- ishment. Finding shelter in an In- dian village and being received 'with much cordiality and hospitality] he in return game hip heart to the young Caguisas, who was then governing the tribe. He protestations met with .savor, and t e young Spaniard found .himself the consort of a queen of no mean accomplishments. But he soon wearied of his. environment and sighed for his old companions. The queen, seeing his discontent and fear- ing to lose him, gave him the secret of her vast wealth and, loading him with the precious metal, sent him back to the Spaniards to induce them to -return with him and settle in her country. Dias delivered this message to Columbus, who immediately order- ed 'an exploration of that part of the 'island to ascertain the truth of the Spaniard's report. "The sequel to this little love af- fair is also interesting, but most pa- thetic, Zamcaca, after giving her all to her lover, whor was thereby pro- moted to high honors in the colony, being the first alcade of the new city, was so disheartened by the cruel treatment accorded her people that she fled from civilization and afflu- ence .to the wilds of the forests, leav- ing her, two children and still faith- ful husband to mourn her loss, and was never heard from again. "From this origin, so casual and omestic, arose the first permanent ity of the new world." en determined to at settlement, and= ng he selected for to on an elevated How Oranges Are Bathed. Oranges are not just plucked off the tree and packed into crates, and then shipped off to foreign countries. If that were the case, most oranges before they arrived would be rotten and not worth eating. When an orange is plucked the skin begins to draw closer to the pulp, and this causes the orange to give off moisture, which would make it "sweat" and spoil if packed at once. Instead, the oranges are bathed. They are dumped into a long, narrow tank of water, at one end of which -is a big wheel with a tire of soft bristles. This wheel turns round so that its lower edge works with an- other set of brushes below, and the oranges, after bobbing about in the tank, pass between these wet brushes and corne out, bright and clear. In some of the small packing houses women clean oranges by hand. Each with a tub of water and brush scrub busily away at huge piles of oranges, which never seem to grow less. After their wash . the oranges are spread out in the 'sun to dry on long slanting racks, after which they are packed in the; well-known- orange boxes. But before that they are brushed again to give them a smooth, shiny look ready for 'the market. The Imperative. Heck ---1 understand that your wife is subject to moods. Peck -Wrong! She has but one and 1 am subject to that. There are now more than 4,000,- 000 women trade unionists it -Britain. Elax Used by Maori Natives. The Maoris, before they became acquainted with the white people, wore clothes made of a species of fiat, called ".Korari," which grows in great abundance in their country. They are draped only from the waist to the knee; they often wear a sort of mantle which reaches from the - shoulders to the feet. Their cloth- ing is very coarsely woven by hand by the women and girls, and they go about bare -legged and bare-footed. Their dwellings are made of branches of trees, shrubs and twigs.' They have but one .opening, which is very low, and through this comes . the daylight that illumines the dark interior of their houses. They light their fire in the middle of the hut and the smoke escapes by the door. = They sleep on the ground on mats or on fern. In all theirhouses one generally sees their war `weapons (their "mere," a large greenstone sharpened), their axes, their guns, their - cartridge boxes, and sometimes their trunks and cases, which they have purchased from Europeans, and in which the•• keep their clothing and such objects as they most value. These people aro in the habit of tatooing themselves. The common people are tatooed on the face; the chiefs, moreover, tattoo their lower limbs. -Family Herald. New President Every Year. In Switzerland, where many of the kings of old Europe have taken re• fuge, the people eleot a new Presi- dent each year in December. This year the name of the President is M. Gustave Ador. During the year he holds office M. Ador is known as the Swiss President. A • citizen of Switzerland must serve as President when called upon by the people, but he cannot be chosen: a second time. Set a Fashion. The Empress Josephine, it is said, was the first to use a pocket hand- kerchief -in public. Her teeth were bad, and she -gracefully concealed this defect by holding a costly hand- kerchief before her lips. ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN - In the annual review of the New York city police the 400 members of the women's police reserves were ac- corded recognition. According to a budget compiled by Miss Edith P. Hershey, extension lec- turer on home economics at the Uni- versity of Texas, a self-supporting woman in Texas requires 416.50 a week to live decently under present conditions. Miss Pauline Goldmark, manager of the Woman's service section of the United States railroad administration, represents the interests of the 83,000 women who remained in the railroads'• employ out of the 101,000 so engaged during; the war. Lady Butt, wife of England's most prominent theatrical menager, is her- self an amateur actress of ho mean ability. Her husband is head of a syndicate that controls a- circuit of theaters in England and Scotland, and Lady Butt is his confidant and assist- ant in business. NEWEST NOTES OP SCIENCE A recent patent covers a motor driven sled that is propelled by a spiked drum. A cane which can be taken apart and converted into a stool is a French invention. Oil is the cooling medium used in- stead of water in the radiator of a new farm tractor. An Australian ferry utilizes a boat- ing reinforced concrete pontoon as a landing stage. A French inventor's decoy duck con- tains clockwork that makes it swim with it feet in a lifelike way. A Seattle man is ' the inventor of a double egg beater that can be oper- ated in two receptacles at once. That signals can be transmitted and received with invisible heat rays has been demonstrated in Europe. Tiny knobs are atta hed to the backs of the blades of a new knife so that they may be opened more easily. In producing print paper from na- tive grasses an Australian experi- menter discovered some new vege- table dyes. A new grease 'gun for automobiles is operated by compressed air ob- tained from a tire pump or even an inflated tire carried as a spare. In the Paris observatory clocks are kept ninety feet underground, where 'the temperature has varied less than one degree in several years. In addition to food a new plate for restaurants holds : in separate com- partments a knife, fork, salt, and pep- per shakers and a butter dish. Russia is estimated to have about 25,000,000 horses, more than any other country, the United States ranking second, with nearly 24,000,000. Leather covers to protect the front fenders of an automobile while re- pairs are being made under the hood have been invented for use in garages. The interior of some passenger cars on the Egyptian state railways is i cooled by tanks of ice, from which the air is circulated by electric fans. For removing water fromsubmerg- ed ships, a motor driven pump has been invented that can be operated at depths beyond the capacity of steam pumps. The governments of Denmark and Sweden have been investigating de- posits of coal discovered on the Danish island of Bornholm, near the Swedish coast. Ie e skating without ice has been made possible by a New Yorker who has invented skates with a number of rollers set between plates to serve as T11/1/101'S. Two French scientists have found that X-ray screens made of a com- pound of tungsten and cadmium give better results than platinum one at far less cost. Chicago inventors have patented an L-shaped private garage to hold two automobiles, either - of which can use a sin'gle door that extends across the angle. A British metallurgist believes he has re -discovered. the secret of the ancient Spanish armorers in produc- ing a tarnish proof steel that even resists acids. The ' drawers in a new kitchen cab- inet are enclosed . one large drawer that can be pulled forward for easy access when the table top of the cab- inet is'extended. NorWay ' a dr dock bas been enenandseeenaliees built in such a location in reference to a canal that it can be filled with water and emptied by gravity without the use of pumps, A new pump for spraying flowers or fruita is operated by a ttathing it to an ordinary fruit jar, several: of which can be provided to hold differ- ent spraying solutions. NEW MINISTER TO PRIMO. Has Worked Through All the Grades of the Foreign Office. Mr. Beilby Francis Alston, the new British Minister at Peking, certainly des'erves the job. He has been in the running for years and is undeirstood to have wanted the post very badly. Criticisms have always varied about him, but the middle view seems to be the correct one, namely, that he will be a good, useful, diplomatic repre- sentative, without being .in any way brilliant. His early upbringing Was all in his favor, since his father was Sir Francis Liston, one of the lights of the Victorian Foreign Office. His education was mainly abroad, where he .was trained, for the Foreign Of`- ,fice in which he has worked through all the grades, beginning in 1890. HIs chief posts hair' been at Copen- hagen, Buenos Ayres and Peking, of which he became the councillor of legation in 1911-12 and charge d'affaires in 1913. Even- in those days people talked about him as a certain minister of the future. Mr: Alston's utility to the Foreign Office has not lain in the perman- ency of his occupation of diplomatic posts. He is the diplomatic tourist. Whenever there was a mission going or a conference' being held Mr. Al- ston was always approached. He was present at a conference on copyright in Paris (1896), at three sugar con- ferences at Brussels, and was sent with Prince and Princess Alexander of Teck to the coronation of the Icing of Siam at Bangkok in December, 1911. Whenever foreign diplomatic representatives came here it. was a moral certainty that Mr. -Alston would be attached to them. He spe- cialized in this sort of attachment to distinguished 'Chinese visitors to Great Britain who came either on a mission or some royal function such as a coronation. ,,This explains . why he holds the Grand Cross of the Dou- ble Dragon of China, and why. he is Commander of the White Elephant of Siam. There are those Who say that Mr. Alston will never "set the Thames on fire." Perhaps not, but he will make few or no mistakes. For years when he was at the Foreign Office he was at the head of the Far East- ern section, or attached to it, and used to receive visitors who came fo inquire into important events of the day affecting that part of the world. Mr. AIston. used to handle them beau- tifully, though perhaps they went away thinking they had not learned much. His critics might say that Mr. Alston had not much to tell them, but anyway, his visitors were pleas- ed, and he had no enemies. Other- wise he is izot specially distinguish- ed; he is, in fact, the businesslike type of diplomatist, and the Govern- ment at home will be able to rely on him. He will never get_the For- eign Office into trouble, and it is something for the Foreign Office to be able to count so confidently on one of the young men whom it has trained. His tendencies are not par tieularly literary, but he does en- deavor to study oriental matters, and it is his knowledge of these that has sent him to the Far East rather than his knowledge of Orientals.

There is unaccustomed activity along the River Jordan. Experts from the technical department of the government at Cairo are prospecting for coal, oil, and minerals; engineers are making- the surveys that forerun the reclamation of waste land by ir- rigation; and British energy is ex- tending in this historic but long- abandoned oneabandoned region the modernization that began when Jerusalem was tak- en and the inhabitants as well as the army of occupation immediately sup- plied with a twentieth century water system that restored and made use- ful the ancient reservoirs south of Bethlehem. The Jordan valley, as the signs now point, will become a very different place. The river, the mot important in Palestine, before the war was regarded as the Sultan's property. No vessel could sail it without his permission, nor could any bridge be built over it, and the per- mission had been withheld front tourist companies wishing to estab- lish steamboat service. Much of the immediate country was. waste land, and still is for that matter, except that now the British engineers have looked at it and said that a system of irrigation canals could use the river, a.nd make some 250,000 acres of alluvial soil available for the agri- culture of a semi -tropical climate. At the same time the examination of the Dead Sea Basin predicts that here Palestine has a. source of natural wealth comparable to the Klondike. Coal, oil, bitumen, and sulphur un- doubtedly wait for development; cop- per was mined there when Byzantium stood on part of the site of Constan- tinople; marble, porphyry, and other valuable kinds of stone add to the natural wealth, to say nothing of salt and phosphates. Lawyers In Print. An article was the other day print- ed rinted in the Observer of London which , may suggest to somebody a reason- ably stout little book on the same subject. Lawyers in literature en.- grossed the writer, not as makers of literature but as represented by those who make it. Beginning with the Man of Law in the "Canterbury Tales,' 'a considerable procession of Lawyers can be discovered in print; particularly in the work of Dickens, who is credited with having deserib. ed thirty-five, in addition to two law- stationers, two law -writers, and a law -student. Fielding and, Smollett each wrote about lawyers; Trollope pictured thein; Scott, George Eliot, and Balzac added to the gallery. A largely forgotten book, "Ten Thou- sand a Year," is referred to as con- taining pen pictures of a numbers of lawyers who were once more or leas distinguished. Very likely the law- yer.,, who have made literature also would turn out to be a sizable com- pany; and, of course, there are peo- ple who insist that a lawyer wrote "Hamlet" and a number of other well-known aid lasting playa, phodziggiphs of women aft vs The "Quality" Character Off:: this brand has an International Reputation.
