SUEZ CANAIj SHARES
TAKE IUG DROP
NEW YORK: Ives Guyot, cabling
from Paris, says that the Suez canal
shares which sold at 6,000 francs in
1912 have fallen to 4,000 francs with
no buyers, although France has little
faith in the threats against Egypt. It
is probable that Parliament will
further change whatever system the
committee examining the question of
tax on war profits adopts. He says
the committee’s proposal to tax the
profits of the Bank of France is rath
er a startling measure as the bank is
still taking care of l,S00,000,0O0
francs of bills suspended by the mor
atorium.
BARGE DAVENPORT BEEN
BEEN BROKEN l'P BY ICE
The Katie Davenport which went
adrift, last fall near Anchorage has
,een broken to smithereens by the
ice and pieces of her are now scat
tered all over the coastl She had been
out all winter and took a terrible
pounding which gradually smashed
her up. The Davenport was being
used in her later years as a sort of
barge but was formerely a ship with
a good standing. She was a clipper
ship and at one time ran out of Pu
get Sound with lumber. She was built
about forty-four years ago.
GOVERNOR’S OFFICE WAS
IN DANGER FROM FIRE
The office of Governor Strong has
been in danger of fire through the

Changes recently made have correct
ed the fault and removed all danger.
. The chimney from the furnace was
enclosed in a wooden casing which
set close around the concrete. During
the last cold snap the chimney be
came so hot that the wood commenc
ed to char and the office was filled
with smoke. By constant watching a
fire was averted and as soon as the
cold snap was over the casing was
torn out and rebuilt with an air space
around it, doing away with all dan

GETTING AN EDUCATION.
After the Age of Thirty Is the Tim* to
Start In Earnest.
According to the Saturday Evening
Post, the best time to get uu education
—perhaps the only time—Is any time
after one has passed thirty. The stuff
that one learns before twenty Is not
meant to he remembered It Is only a
placing of the chutes and an arrange
ment of the bins for the permanent
contents. From twenty to thirty one
is all torn up with courting, marrying
and getting a foothold In life. After
that is the time for education—from
then on until death or senile debility.
A man or woman past thirty is ex
actly ut the most favorable period for
mastering knowledge, training the
mind, forming the taste. Some syste
matic effort Is ail that Is necessary.
Notice the silly and tiresome ways in
which enormous numbers of people
spend some of their holidays. They
know what to do with their working
hours, but not with their leisure.
Most of them by a little direction
and a little systematic effort might
develop some special Interest. Boys
quickly tire of mere aimless and pain
less play. Naturally they want a
method and a goal in it. Having a
goal Is exactly what gives zest to the
game.
And having a goal is both easy and
delightful. To study anything with
interest, from logarithms to caterpil
lars, gives one fun ami profit at the
same time Try li.
PROVED ITS WORTH.
Dramatio Test That Was Made With a
Bullet Proof Shirt.
"A well knoWu war correspondent,
who is a persona) friend of mine."
writes a correspondent of the Manches
ter Guardian, “tells an amusing story.
While in Paris at the beginning of the
war in 1914 a French Inventor per
suaded him to obtain an opportunity
for demonstrating the usefulness of a
thin chain armor shirt, which he claim
ed would resist any bullet or bayonet.
"A sample shirt had been hung up
and tired at with satisfactory results,
but. it was with a certain journalistic
skepticism that my friend attended the
official demonstration at Hendon later.
Anyway, to oblige the inventor he put
on one of the shirts to show its com
fort and flexibility. It was then that
the French inventor achieved a dra
’ mu tic effect, for he whipped out n
Webley automatic and blazed away
straight at my friend's chest.
“He is still alive to tell the tale.”
adds the correspondent. '‘Before he
had recovered breath a war office offi
cial grasped him warmly by the band.
“ ‘Sir.’ he said, ’you are a brave
man!*
“My friend disappeared with becom
ing modesty. He had gone where he
could get a stiff brandy and soda!”
How American Cities Grow.
Nobody knows how fast an Ameri
can city, state or town may grow. 1
recall some twenty-five years ago
meeting a friend In Denver. .He. was
an Investor from tfie east. • I think
Denver had about" 30.000 people then.
He had come to buy real estate. He
said’ to me: “This place Is overgrown.
Iteal estate Is too high. None for tne!"
And he went away. Had he Invested
wisely at that time he could have mul
tiplied his money ten to twenty fold.
I was in Los Angeles about the same
time. It bad had a serious reaction
after a sudden boom. It was a little
place, not one-tenth Its present size.
It seemed like a doomed city. An In
vestment of $500 than in outlying acre
age property. I am told, would be
worth $500,000 today. So nobody can
tell what may be the future of any of
the new. wideawake cities of Alaska.—

Shooting Humming Birds.
To shoot a humming bird with the
smallest blrdshot made is out of the
question, for the tiniest seeds of lead
would destroy the delicate plumage.
The only way in which the bird can be
captured for commercial purposes is to
shoot It with a drop or water from a
blowgun 6r a fine Jet from a small syr
inge Skillfully directed, the water
stuns him. He falls into u silken net
and before he recovers consciousness is
suspended over a cyanide jar. This
must be done quickly, for if he comes
to bis senses before the cyanide whiff
snuffs out bis life he is sure to rulu bis
plumage in his struggles to escape.
Humming birds vary in size from spec
imens perhaps half as large ns a spar
row to those scarcely bigger than a bee.
Prstty Steady.
Mike Reagan applied to Mrs. Stone
for a position ns chauffeur and gave
the name of a friend as reference.
Mrs. Stone sought the friend and
asked:
"Mr. Brady, your neighbor. Michael
Reagan, has applied to me for e place
as chauffeur. Is be a steady man?"
“Steady!" cried Brady. “Indade.
mum. if be wuz nnny steadier he'd be
dead!”—Chicago News.
Joining Amber.
Two surfaces of amber may be unit
ed by smearing them with (Milled lin
seed oil. pressing tbem strongly to
gether and beating tbem over a dear
charcoal tire. To beep the parts In Arm
contact it may be well to tie tbem with
soft Iron wire.
Plenty to Say.
“Your bnslmml is quite a speaker.
Very eloqnent after dinner."
“Yon ought to hear him when the
meal is a trifle lute, before breakfast.’’
