A mail who kept his secret to the “ml was the Canadian hunter Gilbert son. Sixty years ago, when lie was making a canoe trip up the Wnpshe river, the New York Evening Post states, lie struck camp for the night near what later discoveries indicate must have been a large body of gold bearing ore. Without knowing what this ornamental stone was, he took home a big piece to use for a door weight. A while after this a geolo gist who vvafe visiting Gilbertson identi fied tlie ore, and a rush to stake claims along the Wnpshe ensued. But the unwitting prospector would never tell where he made his great find. In later years he became Insane and died, still refusing to reveal the location. This season a systematic search of that country is being made in hope of rediscovering "the Gilbertson lode.” Checking Up. The sultan of Zanzibar and his wives have landed at Durban.

V. V. Fay, in Asia Magazine, To me the most Interesting news that comes over the wires from the four corners of this turbulent world fs that sent out of Siberia. Of all the names that figure in the dis patches, that of Krasnostchokoff. president of the Far Eastern republic. Is perhaps least often mentioned. Yet, reading between the lines, I am aware that Krasnostchokoff is still very much on the Job. For there is no question that the Far Eastern republic is a one-man enter prise. And Krasnostchokoff is the man. In August, 1920, I was in Peking, making ready to cross Mongolia and Siberia to Moscow. There I heard the first rumors of the founding of the Far Eastern republic—an osten sibly capitalistic state to act as a buffer between soviet Russia and the world—principally Japan. The wires were hot with messages from Verkhne-Udinsk, the seat of the new government. First came a declara tion of independence; then a state ment of policy; then appeals to the world to curb the ambitious designs of the Japanese. They were all couched in perfect English and were signed simply "Stark.” Who was Stark? All Peking was agog to know. A short time previ ously, a lone American, one of those world roving free-lances that so often turn up in the orient, had chugged out of one of the gates of Peking in a Ford. He said his name was Stark and that he was going to Siberia to drum up trade. Had this modern Don Quixote encountered real adventure, instead of windmills, and become the foreign minister of a new republic? To find the answer, some one would have to motor across the Gobi and trek from Urga to Udlnsk. Since the trip was long and arduous and there were many rumors of red terrors, it happened that my comrade and I, bound for Moscow, were the first men from the "outside” to find the an swer to the riddle. ****** The capitol, formerly the residence of a rich merchant, was a handsome, white pillared house in the center of the city on the main street. We were admitted into the outer office, where two stenographers pounded away on ancient typewriters. We disclosed the object of our visit to an agreeable little secretary, who after a hesita- I tion took in our cards to the presi dent of the Far Eastern republic. "It’s good to see Americans," he said in greeting us. ”1 lived for some time in the United States myself. Was a lawyer in Chicago. Practiced there for 15 years under the name of Tobel son.” I had heard much about Tobelson. Ho was one of many Russians who had gone home from the United States at the time of the Kerensky revolution. Under the bolshevists, he had risen to the presidency of the Far Eastern soviet, which then com prised a large part of the territory now included in tho Far Eastern re public. Then, in the summer of 1918, came intervention. Troops of the allied nations poured info Vladivostok and hinterland. The r&l army of Si beria, ill-equipped and badly organ ized, was quickly dispersed. A month after the landing jf the first of the foreign troops, the Far Eastern so viet was no more. And Tobelson, its chairman, had disappeared. * • * * * "For months,” Krasnostchokoff was saying. “I wandered as an outlaw, with Japanese money on my head.” Then he told me how he had beat his way along the railroad as far as Irkutsk. There he figured in ar. un successful uprising against the Kol chak government and was captured and imprisoned. He was not iden tified as the notorious Tobleson, how ever, and so escaped execution. In his wanderings, he had learned about Siberia many things that had es caped him in the law courts of Chi cago; and while he vegetatA Mn the Irkutsk prison, wondering whether typus would claim him next, he had plenty of leisure for reflection. And out of his reflection crystallized the idea of an Independent Far Eastern republic. As we rose to go, 1 realized that there was one more mystery to be solved. "Who is Stark?” I asked. “Oh, he runs the governmental news bureau.” "Is he responsible lor the dispatches that camo into Pe .ing?” "Well, not exactly. You see, I write all state papers and foreign dispatches in the evening and have them translated into Russian,, if nec essary, on the following day.” So Krasnostchokoff was Stark a# well as Tobelson! IJe went over te his desk and gave us the first number of a newspaper that he was publish ing in English as a means of present ing the aims of the new republic to the world. Besides the declaration of independence, statements of policy and other official documents, it con tained a couple of interviews with Krasnostchokoff himself on current problems. They were written in forceful, vivid English. We asked who the author was, and Krasnost chokoff replied, rather sheepishly, that he had Written them himself. KEEPING HANDS CLEAN. Soiled hands are responsible for a great deal of trouble. The surgeon and obstetrician have found this out and when they operate their hands are clean beyond reproach. Physicians who handle contagion may have **)und it out, but they do not always practice it. The bal ance of us fall down very much worse. An ordinary washing with soap and water does considerable good, but is far from being a sterilizing procedure. In the first place W'e do not devote enough time to the rite. Observation shows that the average woman consumes 29.2 sec onds in washing and drying her hands, the average man 44.4 seconds, and the average human, both sexes, 36.6 seconds —not enough time for a good job. In the second place soap and water are cleansing, but not sterilizing. Conever and Laird found that of all the antisep tlce soaps they tried, and they worked with most of those in the market, the only soaps with any degree of sterilizing power were those made with mercuric iodide. Even tlii3 soap was very uneven in its antiseptic action, and after 60 •vashings an ordinary cake of it had very little of such power. Other experiments have had the same results with anti septic soaps. Having found soaps unsatisfactory, Conover and Laird tried the various hand antiseptic solutions. The very best one they fouftd was a mixture of equal parts of chloride of lime and boric acid. These two chemicals are mixed, ground into powder, and put in paraffin paper boxes or wrappers to hold the chlorine. Forty-five grains of this powder, or about a level teaspoonful, is dissolved in a quart of water. This solution must be used within three hours. It loses its sterilizing power after 30 people have used a pan of it or one person has used it 30 times. The solution must not come in contact with metal. Ordinarily the hands are sterile after soaking in this for 15 seconds, but a one minute exposure is advised. If the chlorine odor on the hands is objected to, a light washing in dilute ammonia water or dilute vinegar water will remove it. All sorts of phenol solutions as hand washes were found to be too slow in their antiseptic action. Bichloride of mercury solutions and formalin solutions were too hard on the skin. A 1 per cent, copper sulphate solution gave promising results. The authors are not certain as to its efficiency and refused to indorse it, at least until they have experimented further. Antiseptic skin varnishes did not prove satisfactory. The materials i to make the chloride of lime and boric acid mixture cost 45 cents for each two pounds. Moonlight. When I lie awake in the silent night And the clock ticks loud in the hall. A brush that is dipped in silver light Paints pictures rare on my wall; Dark clustering leaves are sharply etched. And delicate tangles of vines, j Faces of dryads and fauns are sketched And feathery branches of pines. The night wind blows and the dryads dance, And the pointed hoofs of the fauns In and out of the shadows glance On the turf of the woodland lawns, And the snowy arms of a naiad shine From the foam of a waterfall, For the man in the moon is an artist fine And draw's on my chamber wall. —Minna Irving, in New York Herald. It is too bad that the American Legion party which recently went to France on a pilgrimage to the bat tlefields should have been disturbed by a quarrel within its ranks.

A financial writer says the agricul A tural implement business has been In jured by the diversion of the farmer’s capital Into other channels. He men tions the farmer's automobile, and ex plains that, "it Is a part of the extrav agance in which Americans of all classes have Indulged since the war began." Upkeep and operation of farmers’ automobiles he estimates is $600,000,000, whereas the amount spent per year for machinery and tools does not exceed $500,000,000. "This," he con cludes, "Is a comparison of luxuries and necessities that does not look well. That the country can stand such things is evidence of its strength and promise of future prosperity among the farmers if they will take a little different view of a pleasure trip to the village as compared with one of those excursions up and down the field with a plow." How do folks get that way? "Amer icans of all classes" have indulged in luxuries. Is it, then, because the farmer was the only one to take all his losses when rfePation began last year that he must be read a sermon about "taking a little different view?" The common sense of it is that the farmer’s car is just as much a part of his equipment as his self-binder. He can reap with a cradle, but the time wraste must be paid for. He can take all morning for an errand to town, but the ploughing will wait. Even If his car wasn’t one of the farmer’s tools, ho has a right to it. It changes the whole social life of rural communities as nothing that anyone could think of when President Roosevelt called his conference on rural life could have done. It takes away the isolation that wore on the souls of men and women. Suppose the financial authority should "take a little different view" and sug gest that it is evidence that the world will be able to go on eating that the farmer can have the automobile *to In crease the advantages of the country and slow up the movement to the city, which Is still to strong 10 be regarded with complacency. It’s a good thing the farmer has a sense of humor. Otherwise he might resent a good deal that is written about him Instead of realizing that it is only a proof of his importance to his breth ren. The "old guard” of New York state Is booming Governor Miller for the republican nomination for president in 1924. The same crowd has boomed many other governors, in cluding Frank S. Black and Charles S. Whitman, who, by the way, never became presidents, and they opposed President Roosevelt. Precedent in dicates that Miller will never enter the White House save as a visitor. A German newspaper suggests that Germany exile all of her whilom princes, especially the Hohenzollerns and Wittelsbachs. It is a sensible suggestion, since at present there seems danger of an attempt to restore the monarchy. Yet there is the pos sibility that if the former royalties be treated harshly it may arouse the spark of fealty to their quondam rul ers, a spark which still smolders in many a German breast. It is hard to extinguish a flame which has burned through many centuries. Certainly! From Chicago Journal of Commerce.
