FAR BEHIND THE FACTS
So manv grossly erroneous state-1
ments have been sent out from I
Washington about the size of thei
world's wheat crop that the govern
ment la probably responsible for
the blundering. It Is unlikely that
other sources of statistical inforiua-.
tion would so closely agree in a
great mistake.
It Is said that the wheat crop
of the United States will be "al
most one-half of the average year
ly wheat production of the entire
world." That is, if the present
forecast of 900,000,000 bushels
shall hold good at the end of the
harvest. As a matter of fact, the
world's wheat crop has lately
averaged about four times 900,
000,000 bushels. Last year it was
calculated by high authorities tit
about 4,000,000,000 bushels.
This ia important because of its
bearing upon the probable market
conditions of the next year. An in
crease of perhaps 130,000,000 or
even 150,000,000 bushels in the
American wheat crop would be
much more disturbing to farmers
and dealers If the world's ordinary
supply were only half as much as
it is. The statement sent out
from Washington Is not nearly so
unfavorable to wheat producers as
it looks because it is grossly in
accurate in respect to the world's
crop.

THE GOLD TEST.
Its Use In Oiavgnosinq Diseases of the
Brain and Nerves.
Like the weird remedies and tests
of medicine in the middle ages are
some of the latest means scleuce has
devised to detect and classify forms
of insanity and brain affections. Salts
of gold in solution, drops of spinal
fluid, bits ot the tissue from the cov
ering oi a normal person's brain nud
various other similar materials are tbe
means employed.
Tbe gold test, for instance, is used
to prove definitely tho existence of
paresis, meningitis, and several otber
forms of nervous diseases, though in
practice It is used mostly as cor
roborative noof rather than tbe only
proof. Solutions of salt of gold of
carefuli> graduated strength are pnt
into test tubes, with the weakest so
lutions at one end of tho row grad
ing up to tbe strongest at the other
end.
Fluid from the spinal column o'^he
W[.:-'Vu"iViti- the tubea. The preseuce
of eer; :in Kinds of braiu or nervous
trouble is then indicated by the col
ors prod'.;\d in some of the tubes.
The particular color produced and the
strength of the solution that shows
the col' r strongest give the clew to the
kind of disease.
Another peeuii :r test for certain oth
er kinds oi brain trouble is to take a
drop of blood from the person exam
ined and plni e in It a prepared solu
tion from i tiny particle of brain cov
ering of :i normal person. Epilepsy
causes .v easily detected reaction on

Being Lucid.
If you wteb to achieve a reputation
for originality and distinction try be
ing lucid. There is nothing quite like
it: "Permit me to thank you for your
lucid exposition of" — It matters not
what the subject.
What is it to be lucid? It Is to write
something which the mno who com
pliments you because you have been
lucid it bout it agrees with. No one
who disagrees with you ever called
you lucid.. No woman' ever referred
to hpr husband as a lucid husband.
No man ever called his wife a lucid

FAITH IS SHOWN
II THE YUKON
Harry B. Iseman, the new gener
al manager of tlio Klondike Mines
railway, who arrived 011 the steamer
Casca, is just back from London,
where he conferred with the finan
cial he.uls of the company, and
from Ottawa, where the chief of
fices of the company are located.
Mr. Iseman returns as the direct
representative of the owners and
the officers of the company, and
with full authority for them in the
Yukon. Ho says:
"Eugene A. Murphy, the manager
of the company for the last seven
years, during which he rendered ex
cellent service, is no longer con
nected in any way with the Klon
dike Mines railway, but is connected
with Messrs. Latta and Lawson,
holders of the majority of the stock
of the railway. They have exten
sive interests in various parts of
the world, including mining, ship
ping, transportation and the like,
and Mr. Murphy, in his new con
nections with lliem, has his head
quarters in Portland, Oregon. They
appreciated fully his extensive
knowlede of railway business from
iiis life long experience In the line,
and his capabilities no doubt will
■win him buccpw
•• "icif in-3 many Klondike friends no
doubt wish him.
"Our plans for the future of the
Klondike Mines railway are to rondi
all the services the situation de
; mands. The heads of the company
assured me of their great interest
In the welfare of the Yukon.
"The road has business in sight
transporting material to the Dome
for mining operations 011 the Indian
river side of the divide, and some
hauling in that lino may develop
this year. In the meantime the roa
and railway equipment will be
maintained as it is, and I shall re
main lure representing the company.
