PREFACE.
Much history of importance was made in 1905. On the very
first day of the year Port Arthur fell after one of the most sangui-
nary sieges on record. Then followed the battle of Mukden, un-
paralleled for time consumed, length of lines, number of men
engaged and casualties. To cap the climax the navy, and with
it the sea power, of Russia was almost annihilated by Admiral
Togo in the battle of the Sea of Japan. This virtually put an
end to a war remarkable alike for the gigantic scale on which it
was conducted and for the results achieved. The place of Russia
as the predominating power in a large part of the far east was taken
by Japan and new lines had to be drawn by the map-makers of
the world. The fact that the president of the United States was
instrumental in bringing about peace was also of great historical
significance.
Another development of far-reaching importance was the prog-
ress made toward the substitution of a constitutional for an auto-
cratic form of government in Russia. The struggle for liberty was
continued throughout the whole year and was attended by scenes
of bloodshed and destruction that shocked the civilized world.
Still another event of international importance was the dissolu
tion of the union under one king of Norway and Sweden. Each
nation is now independent of the other, having its own king, cabi-
net and representatives in foreign countries.
Concerning these and many other happenings of 1905 the facts
will be found briefly recorded in the following pages. An effort
has been made to confine the narrative to such data as may be most
frequently needed for reference and it is with that end in view that
the chronology has been made as complete and accurate as pos-
sible under the circumstances.
While foreign affairs have necessarily received much attention,
those of the United States have not been neglected. Even more
than the usual amount of space has been given to the statistical,
political, educational and other affairs of the nation. The same
may be said of matters more directly concerning the state of Illinois
and the city of Chicago. The Chicago Daily News Almanac
and Year-Book for 1906 is therefore offered with the hope that it
will be found a useful and reliable book of reference for men and
women in all parts of the country.

WEATHER FORECASTS AND SIGNALS.
The weather bureau of the United States
department of agriculture publishes daily
more than 100,000 weather bulletins, not
counting the forecasts in the newspapers.
Most of these bulletins are in the form
of postal cards printed by postmasters
from telegraphic reports and sent by them
to outlying towns for display at suitable
points. There is also an elaborate system of
No 1.
White flag.
redistribution by means of telephones and
railroads from established centers, so that
there are comparatively few accessible
places which do not now receive daily
weather forecasts within a very short time
after the observers have completed their
work. The old system of conveying informa-
tion about the weather by means of flag
displays is also in general use.

erly quaurants.
By night a red light indicates easterly winds and a white light above a red light westerly
ids.

APPLICATIONS FOE PATENTS.
[Condensed from Rules of Practice in the United States patent office.]
A patent may be obtained by any person
who has invented or discovered any new
and useful art, machine, manufacture or
composition of matter, or any new and use-
ful improvement thereof not previously
patented or described in this or any other
country, or more than two years prior to
liis application, unless the same is proved
to have been abandoned. A patent may
also be obtained for any new design for a
manufacture, bust, statue, alto-relievo or
t>as-relief; for the printing of woolen, silk
or other fabrics: for any new impression,
ornament, pattern, print or picture to be
placed on or woven into any article of
manufacture; and for any new, useful and
original shape or configuration of any
article of manufacture, upon payment of
fees and taking the other necessary steps.
Applications for patents must be in writ-
ing, in the English language and signed by
the inventor if alive. The application must
nclude the first fee of $15, a petition, speci-
fication and oath, and drawings, model or
specimen when required. The petition must
be addressed to the commissioner of patents
and must give the name and full address
of the applicant, must designate by title
the invention sought to be patented, must
contain a reference to the specification for
a full disclosure of such invention and must
be signed by the applicant.
The specification must contain the follow-
ng in the order named: Name and resi-
dence of the applicant with title of inven-
tion: a general statement of the oblect and
nature of the invention; a brief description
of the several views of the drawings (if the
invention admits of such illustration); a
detailed description; claim or claims; sig-
nature of inventor and signatures of two
witnesses. Claims for a machine and its
product and claims for a machine and the
process in the performance of which the
machine is used must be presented in
separate applications, but claims for a proc-
ess and its product may be presented in
the same application.
The applicant, if the Inventor, must make
oath or affirmation that he believes himself
to be the first inventor or discoverer of
that which he seeks to have patented. The
oath or affirmation must also state of what
country he is a citizen and where he re-
sides. In every original application the ap-
plicant must swear or affirm that the In-
vention has not been patented to himself
or to others with his knowledge or con-
sent in this or any foreign country lor more
than two years prior to his application, or
on an application for a patent filed in any
foreign country by himself or his legal rep-
resentatives or assigns more than seven
months prior to his application. If appli-
cation has been made in any foreign coun-
try full and explicit details must be given.
The oath or affirmation may be made be-
fore any one who is authorized by the laws
of his country to administer oaths.
Drawings must be on white paper with
India mk and the sheets must be exactly
10x15 inches in size with a margin of one
inch. They must show all details clearly
and without the use of superfluous lines.
Applications for reissues must state why
the original patent Is believed to be de-
fective and tell precisely how the errors
were made. These applications must be ac-
companied by the original patent and an
offer to surrender the same; or, if the
original be lost, by an affidavit to that ef-
fect and certified copy of the patent. Ev-
ery applicant whose claims have been twice
rejected for the same reasons may appeal
from the primary examiners to the exam-
iners in chief upon the payment of a fee
of $10.
The duration of patents Is for seventeen
years except in the case of design patents,
which may be for three 'and a half, seven
or fourteen years as the inventor may elect.
Caveats or notices given to the patent
office of claims to inventions to prevent the
issue of patents to other persons upon the
same invention, without notice to the
caveators, may be filed upon the payment
of a fee of $10. Caveats must contain the
same information as applications for pat-
ents.

UNITED STATES CIVIL SERVICE.

TTNITED STATES CIVIL SERVICE.
Officers Three commissioners are appointed
by the president to assist him in classify-
ing the government offices and positions,
formulating rules and enforcing the law.
Their office is in Washington, D. C. The
chief examiner is appointed by the commis-
sioners to secure accuracy, uniformity and
justice in the proceedings of the examining
boards. The secretary to the commission
is appointed by the president.
General Rules The fundamental rules gov
erning appointments to government posi
tions are found in the civil-service act it
self. Based upon these are many other
regulations formulated by the commission
and promulgated by the president from
time to time as new contingencies arise.
The present rules were approved March
20, 1903, and went into effect April 15, 1903.
In a general way they require that there
must be free, open examinations of appli-
cants for positions in the public service;
that appointments shall be made from
those graded highest in the examinations;
that appointments to the service in Wash-
ington shall be apportioned among the
states and territories according to popula-
tion; that there shall be a period (six
months) of probation before any absolute
appointment is made; that no person in
the public service is for that reason obliged
to contribute to any political fund or is
subject to dismissal for refusing to so con-
tribute; that no person in the public serv-
ice has any right to use his official author-
ity or influence to coerce the political ac-
tion of any person. Applicants for positions
shall not be questioned as to their polit-
ical or religious beliefs and no discrimina-
tion shall be exercised against or in favor
of any applicant or employe on account of
his religion or politics. The classified civil
service shall include all officers and em-
ployes in the executive civil service of the
United States except laborers and persons
whose appointments are subject to con-
firmation by the senate.
E>amina tions These are conducted by
boards of examiners chosen from among
persons in government employ and are held
twice a year in all the states and terri-
tories at convenient places. In Illinois,
for example, they are usually held at
Cairo, Chicago and Peoria. The dates are
announced through the newspapers or by
other means. They can always be learned
by applying to the commission or to the
nearest postoffiee or custom house. Those
who desire to take examination are ad-
vised to write to the commission in Wash-
ington for the "Manual of Examinations,"
which is sent free to all applicants. It is
revised semiannually to Jan. 1 and July 1.
The January edition contains a schedule
of the spring examinations and the July
edition contains a schedule of the fall ex-
aminations. Full information is given as
to the methods and rules governing exam-
inations, manner of making application,
qualifications required, regulations for rat-
ing examination papers, certification for
and chances of appointment, and as far as
possible it outlines the scope of the differ-
ent subjects of general and technical ex-
aminations. These are practical in char-
acter and are designed to test the relative
capacity and fitness to discharge the duties
to be performed. It is necessary to obtain
Civil-service r.ct approved Jan. 16, 1883.
an average percentage of 70 to be eligibl
for appointment, except that applicants
entitled to preference because of honorable
discharge from the military or naval serv
ice for disability resulting from wounds o
sickness incurred in the line of duty neet
obtain but 65 per cent. The period of eligi
bility is one year.
Qualifications of Applicants No person wil
be examined who is not a citizen of th<
' United States; who is not within the ag<
limitations prescribed; who is physicallj
disqualified for the service which he seeks
who has been guilty of criminal, infamous
dishonest or disgraceful conduct; wh<
has been dismissed from the public serv
ice for delinquency and misconduct or ha:
failed to receive absolute appointmen
after probation; who is addicted to th<
habitual use of intoxicating liquors to ex
cess, or who has made a false statement
in his application. The age limitations li
the more important branches of the public
service are: Postoffiee, 18 to 45 years
rural letter carriers, 17 to 55: internal rev
enue, 21 years and over; railway mail, 11
to 35; lighthouse, 18 to 50; life saving, l!
to 45; general departmental, 20 and OTer
These age limitations are subject to change
by the commission. They do not applj
to applicants of the preferred class. Ap
plicants for the position of railway mai
clerk must be at least 5 feet 6 inches IE
height, exclusive of boots or shoes, and
weigh not less than 135 pounds in ordinary
clothing and have no physical defects. Ap
plicants for certain other positions have t<
come up to similar physical requirements
Method of Appointment Whenever a va-
cancy exists the appointing officer makes
requisition upon the civil-service commis-
sion for a certification of names to fill the
vacancy, specifying the kind of position
vacant, the sex desired and the salary.
The commission thereupon takes from the
proper register of eligibles the names of
the three persons standing highest of the
sex called for and certifies them to the ap
pointing officer, who is required to make the
selection. He may choose any one of the
three names, returning the other two 'to
the register to await further certification.
The time of examination is not considered,
as the highest in average percentage on the
register must be certified first. If after a
probationary period of six months the
name of the appointee is continued on the
roll of the department in which he serves
the appointment is considered absolute.
Removals No person can be removed from
a competitive position except for such
cause as will promote the efficiency of the
public service and for reasons given in
writing. No examination of witnesses nor
any trial shall be required except in the
discretion of the officer making the re-
moval.
Salaries Entrance to the departmental serv-
ice is usually in the lowest grades, the
higher grades being generally filled by pro-
motion. The usual entrance grade is about
$900. but the applicant may be appointed
at $840, $760 or even $600.

DEATH OF SECRETARY JOHN HAY,
John Hay, secretary of state, died sud-
denly early Saturday morning, July 1, 1905,
at his summer residence at Newbury, N.
H. He had been ill for several months
and had recently returned from a trip to
Europe with bis health apparently restored.
His breakdown was caused by overwork in
tbe state department, especially in connec-
tion with developments growing out of the
Russo-Japanese war and the Venezuelan
trouble. At Bad Neuheim in Germany he
was treated by Prof. Groedel, an eminent
specialist, and when he left there he was
hopeful of complete recovery, even up to
the day before he died. He was buried in
Lakeview cemetery, Cleveland, O., July 5.
Only his family, President Roosevelt and
members of the McKinley cabinet were
present.

CENTER OF POPULATION AND ITS MEDIAN POINT.
The center of population is the center of gravity of the population of the country, each
individual being assumed to have the same weight. What is known as the median point is the
point of intersection of the line dividing the population equally north and south with the line
dividing it equally east and west. The center of population in 1900 was at a point six miles
southeast of Columbus, Ind., or north latitude 39 degrees and 9.5 minutes and west longitude
85 degrees 48.9 minutes. The median point in 1900 was at Spartanburg, Ind., or latitude 40 de-
grees 4 minutes and 22 seconds and longitude 84 degrees 51 minutes and 29 seconds.
The center of area of the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii and other recent
accessions, is in northern Kansas, in approximate latitude 39 degrees 55 minutes and ap-
proximate longitude 98 degrees 50 minutes. The center of population is therefore about three-
fourths of a degree south and more than thirteen degrees east of the center of area.

Area of Porto Rico is approximately 3,600 and of the Philippine islands 114.000 square miles
(land and water, 832,968).
NOTE The areas as given above were computed under the direction of Henry Gannett,
geographer of the United States geological survey, for the census office. In some cases the
tlgures vary from those given by the general land office, but they are believed to be as nearly
correct as possible. In the case of states bordering on the great lakes the water surface of
the latter has been included in the computation of areas by the land office and excluded by
Mr. Gannett. This will account in large measure for the apparent discrepancies.

In five states in 185O the electoral vote was divided: California gave 8 electoral votes for
Cleveland and 1 for Harrison and Ohio gave 1 for Cleveland and 22 for Harrison: in Michigan,
by act of the legislature, each congressional district voted separately for an elector; in Oregon
1 of the 4 candidates for electors on the people's party ticket was also on the democratic ticket;
In North Dakota 1 of the 2 people's party electors cast his vote for Cleveland, this causing the
electoral vote of the state to be equally divided between Cleveland, Harrison and Weaver.
In 1896 California gave 8 electoral votes to McKinley and 1 to Bryan; Kentuckv gave 12 to
McKinley and 1 to Bryan In Maryland in 1904 seven of the presidential electors chosen were
democrats and one republican

tne assembly, without a dissenting vote,
declared for union with tne Cumberland
Presbyterian church on the doctrinal basis
of confession of faith of the presbyterian
church in the United States of America, as
revised in 1903, and of its other doctrines
and ecclesiastical standards, the scriptures
of the old and new testament* to lie ac-
knowledged as the inspired word of God
and the only infallible rule of practice. The
Cumberland church took similar action at
its general assembly. At the meeting of the
southern presbyterian church in May the
committee on federation with other branches
of the church was continued for another
year, but the general sentiment seemed to
be against union.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
The famous "Monroe doctrine" was enun-
ciated by President Monroe in his message
to congress Dec. 2, 1823. Referring to steps
taken to arrange the respective rights of
Russia, Great Britain and the United
States on the northwest coast of this conti-
nent, the president w r ent on to say:
"In the discussions to which this interest
has given rise, and in the arrangements by
which they may terminate, the occasion has
been deemed proper for asserting, as a
principle in which the rights and interests
of the United States are involved, that the
American continents, by the free and in-
dependent condition which they have as-
sumed and maintain, are henceforth not to
be considered as subjects for future colo-
nization by any European power. * *
We owe it. therefore, to candor and to the
amicable relations existing between the
United States and those powers to declare
that we should consider any attempt on
their part to extend their system to any
portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to
our peace and safety. With the existing
colonies or dependencies of any European
power we have not interfered and shall not
interfere. But with the governments who
have declared their independence and main-
tain it, and whose independence we have,
on great consideration and on just princi-
ples, acknowledged, we could not view any
interposition for the purpose of oppressing
them or controlling in any other manner
their destiny by any European power in any
other light than as the manifestation of an
unfriendly disposition toward the United
States."

ADMIRAL JOHN PATJL JONES BURIED IN AMERICA.
Chiefly through the efforts of Gen. Hor-
ace Porter, united states ambassador to
France, the remains of Admiral John Paul
J cries were found and identified in the old |
St. Louis cemetery in Paris, France, April
14, 19U5. freparitions were at once made
to remove the body to the United States
and a naval convoy consisting of tlie Brooii-
lyn, Chattanooga, Galveston and Tacomsi,
commanded by Admiral Sigsbee, was sent
to France. The transfer was made in
Paris July 6 with simple ceremonies. As-
sistant Secretary of State Francis B. '
Locmis on behalf of the United States re-
ceived the body, which, escorted by bOO 1
American sailors and a number of Freuch 1
tic ops, was conveyed to the railroad sta-
tion and thence to Cherbourg, where it
wa& placed on board tne Brooklyn. On
its arrival in America July 24 it was placed
in a vault on the grounds of the naval
academy at Annapolis, Md.
Admiral Jonos died in Paris July 18,
r.92. His body was embalmed, placed in
a leaden coffin and buried in the St. Louis
cemetery. Tlie growth of the city caused
this to fall into disuse and in course or
time buildings were erected upon the
giaves. The records were lost and the
exact location of the lest resting place of
Tne American naval neio became a matter
ot dispute.
