[Copyright, 1914, by The Chicago Daily News Company.]
PREFACE.
In this issue of The Almanac and Year-Book, in addition
to the regular statistical and other annual features, much ma-
terial relating to the European war is presented. The conflict,
in respect to the number of persons affected and cost in men
and money, already ranks as the greatest in history, and many
questions, especially as to its origin and early progress, will
come up in the future. It is with a view to answering such
questions that most of the war data given in this volume have
been compiled. Attention may be called to the fact that the
diplomatic and other correspondence, issued in the form >ef
official "papers" or "books" by Great Britain, Germany, Rus-
sia and Belgium immediately following the outbreak of hos-
tilities, is published in full. The "Yellow Book" issued by
France appeared too late to be added to the others, but the of-
ficial summary of the conclusions reached is given. Informa-
tion relating to the armed strength of the belligerents, loss of
life and property, the use of airships, submarines, automobiles
and wireless telegraphy by the armies, naval operations, effect
of the crisis on the markets of the world, action taken by the
American congress and President Wilson, strategy of the com-
batants, gigantic war loans and numerous other features of
the struggle will also be found in shape for ready reference. A
chronology carried up to the latest possible date and a pro-
nouncing gazetteer of places most frequently mentioned in the
dispatches from the various war zones have been added.
The story of the trouble between the United States and
Mexico, involving the capture and temporary occupation of
Vera Cruz, is told at some length.
Important laws passed by congress at its long and event-
ful session are given in full or in summarized form. The new
internal revenue, act, with its list of special and stamp taxes to
meet the deficiency in the national receipts caused by the war
in Europe, will also be found.

The Gregorian year 1915 corresponds to the
following eras:
The latter part of the 139th and the beginning
of the 140th year of the independence of the
United States.
The year 1333-34 of the Mohammedan era; the
year 1334 begins Xov. 9.
The year 4612 (nearly) of the Chinese era, be-
ginning now Jan. 1.
The year 8024 of the Greek church, beginning
Jan. 14.
The year 5675-76 of the Jewish era; the year
5676 begins at sunset Sept. 8.
The year 7423-24 of the Byzantine era, begin-
ning Sept. 1.

CHRONOLOGICAL CYCLES.
Dominical or Sunday letter C
Epact or moon's age, Jan. 1 14
Lunar cycle or golden number 16
Solar cycle 20
Roman imlietion 13
Diouysian period < 244
EXPLANATORY NOTE The Dominical letter or
letters (two for leap year), or Sunday letters,
indicate the day of the year on which the first
Sunday occurs, the first seven letters of the al-
phabet being used. Thus, for 1914, the Domini-
cal letter is D, the fourth letter of the alphabet,
and hence the fourth day of the year will be the
first Sunday of the year. In leap years two let-
ters are used, the first being for January and
February, and the latter, being the preceding
letter, answers for the last ten months, in order
to maintain the cycle. The rule for obtaining
the Dominical letter for any year is somewhat
complicated and for that reason is omitted here.
The Golden Number is that number of a oyclo
of nineteen years which shows how many years
have elapsed since the new moon fell on Jan. 1,
for in nearly nineteen years the solar and lunar
years nearly come together. The chief use of
this cycle is in fixing the date of Easter, and in
this same connection Is used the Epact, The
elapsed since the days of the week fell on the
same days of the year, or when there will,
therefore, be a recurrence of the Dominical or
Sunday letter. This would be the case every
seven years but for leap year, hence four times
seven is the cycle, or twenty-eight years. It is
the remainder found by adding nine to the year
and dividing the sum by twenty-eight. The Ro-
man Indiction is a cycle of fifteen years and is
of no utility except to chronologers. It is the
remainder found by adding three to the year and
dividing by fifteen. The
g thre
Julian
period is a cycle
of 7,980 years and is the product of the three
cycles, Golden Number (19), Solar Cycle (28) and
Roman Indiction (15), and hence shows the time
when these cycles will coincide, or begin at the
same time. The first of this cycle will be com-
pleted in the year 2267; It is the year + 4713.
The Dionysian period Is a cycle of 532 years and
is called the great Paschal cycle, bei^g the
product of a completed solar and lunar cycle
(28X19). It is the remainder found by adding
457 to the year and dividing by 532, and with the
Julian period Is chiefly used by chronologers.
The Jewish Lunar cycle is always throe less than
the Golden Number and is used by the Jews In
(13)
fixing the time of their festivals.

NOTE To ascertain any day of the week first
look In the table for the year required and under
the months are figures which refer to the corre-
sponding figures at the head of the columns of
days below. For example: To know ou what
day of the week July 4 was in the year 1895, In the
table of years look for 1895. and in a parallel
line, under July, Is figure 1, which directs to
column 1, in which it will be seen that July 4
falls on Thursday.
*17c2 same as 1772 from Jan. 1 to Sept. 2.
From Sept. 14 to Dec. 31 same ns 1780 (Sept.
3-13 were omitted). This Calendar is from Whit-

ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
CHART OF THE HEAVENS.
Scale of Magnitudes.
in*
EXPLANATION The chart of the heavens shows
all the bright stars and groups visible In the
United States, Canada, Cuba and Hawaii. Stars
of the third magnitude arc sometimes shown In
order to complete a figure.
If a bright," uncharted body be seen near the
"ecliptic circle" it must be a planet. To lo-
cate the planets or moon, refer to the monthly
cali'iidar pages in this almanac, find the proper
signs on the chart in the "ecliptic circle" and
an Inspection of that part of the heavens, com-
paring with the chart, will serve to identify
the planet and all surrounding objects.
Because of the earth's motion from west to
east (opposite to the direction of the arrow in
the chart), the stars rise 4 m. earlier each day
or 30 m. per week or 2 hrs. a month. The
chart shows the position at 9 p. m. Then if thi-
position for any ot&er hour be desired, as for
7 p. in., count ahead one mouth, or back ono
month for 11 p. m., and so on tor any hour of
tue night, holding the montn desired in front
as the face looks eltner to the north or south
with name down.
A circle descrloed from the zenith on the
zenith circle" for tne desired latitude with a
radius of 90 degrees (see graduated meridian)
will show wnat stars are above the horizon.
Thus Capella is near the overhead (zenith) point
on latitude 4u degrees nortn Jan. 15. 9 p. m..
as will be "big dipper" at 3 a. m. Then from
Capella or Algenib all the surrounding visible
groups can be identified. The "pointers," being
5 degrees apart and always in sight, may be used
as a convenient unit or measure: also when
visible, the "belt of Orion." 3 degrees, or the
sides of the "square or i j egasus."

STORY OF OUR WORLD FAMILY FOR 1915.
THE SUN Mighty as the sun seems to us
and it is more than 1,000,000 times the size of
our earth an astronomer, aided by the most
powerful telescope known and stationed on the
nearest of the ttxed stars, would be unable to
see it. If, however, it were possible to see the
sun, it would appear as a dim -star with a
varying degree of brightness, due to the partial
interception of Us light by the giant planet
Jupiter. The influence over our meteoric condi-
tions of the sun during a maximum of sun spots
was abundantly illustrates in 1914 and will con-
tinue Into 1915.
The planets are bodies which revolve about the
sun and borrow most of tbeir light from it.
while the stars are similar to our sun. each
shining by its own light and probably surrounded
Dy a family of planets and comets. Neverthe-
less, at certain periods the planets are desig-
nated as evening and morning stars. An in-
ferior planet (one whose orbit Is within that of
the earth) can never shine all night, as do the
superior planets when opposite the sun. A su-
perior planet is called an evening star, in this
almanac, when it rises before midnight.
THE FAMILY OF THE SUN.
1. Mercurv.
2. Venus.
3. Earth, with one moon.
4. Mars, with two moons.
5. Asteroids, about 700.
6. Jupiter, with seven moons.
7. Saturn, witn nine moons.
8. TIranus, witn lour moons.
9. Neptune, witn one moon.
10. f'/omets, about 500.
MERCURY Will be brightest and easily seen
as an evening star Feb. 1 to 7 and Sept. 27-Oct.
5, setting in about the same place as the sun
and near the close of evening twilight: also
March 16 to 23 and Nov. 3 to 10 as a morning
star, rising about the time of the beginning of
the morning twilight. He will be practically in-
visible at all otner times. INO one need err as
to the identity or tnis planet, for at the above
named periods he will be the brightest body in
tne vicinity. He can only be seen by seeking
ror him at the right time and place, unless the
sun's light be hid in eclipse.
VENUS Will be brightest as a morning star
Jan. 1 to 10, when just west of the noted red
star Antares, in Scorpio. When viewed at this
time with a small telescope or good opera
glass she will appear as shown in figure "0"
ot the annexed cut with the concave side of her
crescent away from the sun. All her phases and
variations in apparent size are shown in this cut.

As seen in the morning
west of sun.
Explanation:
As seon in the evening
east of sun.
A Fifteen days before superior conjunction
with the sun. Aug. 27, 1915.
K At greatest elongation west of the sun,
about Feb. 6, 1915.
f* When brightest as a morning star. Jan. 2.
1915.
D Just after inferior conjunction with the sun;
not in 1915.
E Fifteen days after superior conjunction with
tne sun, Sept. 27, 1915.
F At greatest elongation east of the sun,
about April 20. 1916.
G When brigntest as an evening star: not in
1915.
H Just before inferior conjunction with the
sun; not in 1915.
As will be seen by the chart "Visibility of the
planets" she will continue to recede from the
sun until Feb. 6, wuen sue will be at her great-
est angular distance west of the sun, 46" 54'.
The reason she does not increase in brilliancy up
to that time is that she is running away from
us too rapidly. From Feb. 6 she will gradually
approach the sun until she becomes invisible in
September, being at superior conjunction Sept.
12, and when last to be seen appearing as at A.
Then when she is first visible on the other (east)
side of the sun as an evening star, she will ap-
pear as at K. From then on to the end of the
year she will grow brignter as sne approaches
tne earth ana recedes rrom the sun, being very
orlght at tne ena or tne year.
The conjunctions or near approaches of Venus
10 the moon during tne time sne is rainy
bright will be as follows: Jan. 12, 9 north;
Feb. 10, 7 north; March 12, 3 north: April 10.
2 south; May 11 and June 10, 6 south; July 10.
4 south; Nov. 8, 4 north, and Dec. 8, 1 north.
She will be close to other planets as follows:
Uranus, March 19, 1 10' north; Jupiter. April 15,
9' north; Mars, May 14, 56' south, and Saturn,
July 17, 38' north. Her very close approach to
Jupiter on April 15 will make a pretty sight.
While their neatest approach takes plnce before
they are above the horizon in the United States,
they will be so close at rising and for some
time after they wi'.l appear almost as one very
bright body. The apparent diameter of the moon
is about 30' hence their distance apart (about
9') will be about one-third the apparent diameter
or the moon.
Venus' itinerary, for the time she is conspicu-
ously visible, will be as follows: Jan. 1 in Scor-
pio -close to Beta Scorpio, and nearly midway
between the Square of Libra and the red star
Antares. From Feb. 10 to 20 sne will be sailing
along westward just north of the Milkmaid's
Dipper in Sagittarius. About March 5 to 10.
close to the bngnt stars in the head of the
Goat (Oapricornus) and by April 5 just south of
the Y in Aquarius; April 10-11, about midway
between the brignt stars in tne southern Fishes.
Fomalhaut and Markhab, which marks the south-
west corner of tne ureat Square of 1'egasus:
about April 24-26. In line with the east side of
tne Square of 1'egasus and about 10 south of
Algenib; about May 20-25, 10 south of the
brightest stars in Aries, Hamel and Sheratan,
in the bead of tne Kam; June 8-14, close to and
just about south of the Pleiades or seven stars,
also known as tne Seven Sisters, and from June
M to 25 just north of the Hyades and Aldebaran
in the head of Taurus, the Bull; July 1, just
below Elnath, the southernmost star of the beau-
tiful five-sided figure in Auriga in the Milky
Way: about July 5, midway between Cape'la 20
to the north and Betelgeuse, in Orion, to the
south. She will oe too near the sun for good
seeing until In November and December: Nov.
9-10 she will be back to tne place where she was
at the beginning of tne year, midway between
Antares and the Square of Libra, and in the
middle of November close to Antares; Dec. 5-10
she wl!l pass along the length of the Milk-
maid's Dipper, enaing tne year in Capricornus.
MARS Will be too near the sun In January to
DP easily seen. He wi:i be west of the sun and
tnerefore a morning stir until Nov. 9. .when he
will begin his career as evening star, being at
that time 90 west of the sun, passing the
meridian at 6 a. m. and therefore rising near
midnight, and continuing as evening stnr the re-
mainder of the year. Look for a morning star
in the east and an evening star In the west.
ur rule for fixing the morning and evening star
periods of the sunerior planets na<s been criti-
cised, but we believe the most consistent rule is
to call them evening stars when thev rise in
rno evening nonrs ana morning stars when they
rise in the morning.
Mirs will not attain, in this year, his greatest
degree of brilliancy possible or usual in a year.
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
but may be best seen In December. On May
12-16 he will be only about 1 north of the beau-
tiful Venus. The two, with Hamel and Sheratan
on the north, form a beautiful trapezoidal figure.
His conjunctions or near approaches to the moon
will be as follows: Feb. 12, 24' north; March 14,
2 south; April 12, 4 south; May 11, 5 south:
June 9, 6 south; July 8, 5 south; August 6. 4"
south; Sept. 4, 3 south: Oct. 2, 24' south; Oct.
31, 1 north; Nov. 28, 4 north, and Dec. 26, 6
north. The conjunction of Oct. 2 will be an oc-
cultatlon between latitudes 11 north and 90 north
wherever the bodies are above the horizon near
the time of conjunction about 8:30 in the eve-
ning, or about three hours before they will rise
in the United States. Mars will be in an ex-
ceedingly interesting quarter of the heavens at
this time (Oct. 2) and thereabouts, viz., in
Gtmini, just south of the beautiful stars. Castor
and Pollux, and the cluster Praesepe about mid-
way between him and the Sickle, the Lion, with
Regulus at the end of the handle; Procvon will
be 10 south, and the glorious Sirius still farther
south and west. From Oct. 15-20 he will be
passing through the cluster Praesepe. and in
December through the Sickle, being in conjunc-
tion with the magnificent Regulus Dec. 12 and
only about 3 north or that star.
JUPITER Will be a dim evening star at the
beginning of the year, soon becoming invisible
as he approaches the sun, which he reaches Feb.
24, after which he will reappear on the other
(west) side of the sun as a mftrning star, and
will so remain until about June 19, when he will
begin to rise before midnight, and will so con-
tinue until the end of the year. He may be
called an all night star also in September, when
brightest, when he will rise about sunset and
shine all night. He will be very close to Mars
March 23 in the early morning hours, being the
most northern, but the two appearing almost as
one body, making a very pretty sight. Again in
the morning of April IB he will have Venus for
a close companion.
His near approaches to the moon will be as
follows: April 11, 3 south: May 9, 4 south:
June 5, 4 south: July 3, Aug. 26, Sept. 22. Oct.
20, Nov. 1 and Dec. 13 the moon will pass about
5" to the north of Jupiter. When brightest in
September he will be just south of the great
Square of Pegasus, forming a neat triangular
ngure with MarKaii and Algenlb to the north
or him. (See chart or the heavens.)
SATURN Will be nearly at his brightest and
may be best seen In January and December,
when he will rise near sunset and be an all
night star, nearly, being also an evening star
until June 28 or until he becomes lost in the
light of the sun weeks before that time. When
next visible, the latter part of July or in Au-
gust, be will be a morning star and will remain
such until early In October, when he will begin
nis course as an evening star, remaining such to
tne end of the year. A beautiful sight will
greet early risers in September, as Saturn and
Mars travel along in close company, being only
auout double the amount or tne moon's apparent
ammeter apart; Mars, the red one and farthest
north. Saturn's near approacnes to the moon
will be as follows: Jan. 27, Feb. 23. March 23.
April 19 ana May it, in an or wmcn the moon
will pass about 5 north of Saturn: also Aug. 7.
Sept. 4. Oct. 1 and 29, Nov. 25 and Dec. 22, in
all of which the moon will pass about 3 to the
north of Saturn.
Saturn is tne possessor or a magnificent and
unique set of rings, wnicn may oe better seen
this year than will again be the case in four-
teen years, or until lazs-1929. At this time the
southern faces or the rings are presented to our
I view; in 1900 it was tne northern surraces and
I in 1918 it will be the same. These rings
are inclined about 28" to the earth's orbit and
once in 15 years are eagewise to us, ana are
men InvisiDle tor a consiueraole time, even to
the best telescope, being only about 50 miles
thick and one billion of miles distant. Then
when the dark or unilluminated sides are toward
us they again disappear. These various phases
are shown in the annexed cut. It is be'.ieved
that they illustrate the world-building process,
an unfinished world, and that in time they will
be resolved into other moons to Illumine that
great planet.
SATUU.N A1NL) HIS RINGS.
URANUS Will be brightest Aug. 1-14 and is
invisible to the unaided eye except at about that
time, when he may be just seen by knowing
exactly where to seek nim.
NEPTUNE Will be brightest Jan. 10-26 and is
always invisible without optical aid.
COMETS Several small wanderers of this class
were discovered in 1914, but none worth men-
tioning here.
ZODIACAL LIGHT This phenomenon is a
glow or faint pyramid or light, most noticeable
in northern latituaes in tne evenings ot" Febru-
ary and March and the "mornings of October and
.November, shortly after sunset and before sun-
rise. Near the equator it has been observed as
late as midnight and extending entirely across
the heavens. A fainter "counter glow" is fre-
quently observed opposite the principal glow.
The light of the moon or even of a bright
planet renders the zodiacal light very feeble or
invisible. This is believed to be due to the re-
flection of sunlight on myriads of particles re-
volving about the sun as a thin ring something
like Saturn's rings, and extending to the orbit
of the earth or to that of Mars.
EXPORT TRADE IN FOUNTAIN PENS.
[From department of commerce report.]
In the year ended June 30, 1913, the United
States exported to about fifty foreign countries
309,200 fountain pens having an average whole-
sale value of $1.05 each. In the same year 49.-
500,000 ordinary metallic pens were exported.
Of the fountain pens exported 169,000 were con-
signed to England, 53.700 to Canada and 30.000
to France. Germany, Holland and Austria-
Ilungary were the next in importance as markets
for these pens. Considerable quantities were
also sent to Cuba and the British Wost Indies.
Panama, Brazil, Argentina, Oliile, India, Japan,
Australia and the Philippines. The same coun-
tries are in most cases the largest purchasers
of American metallic pens. Manufacturers in
this country use English and Swedish steel to
a large extent in the pen industry. Most of
the imported steel pens come from Birmingham,
England. A large proportion of the world's
supply of gold pens is made in New York city.

NOTE On the chart of the heavens the hours
or right ascension and subdivisions are marked
on the margin, and inasmuch as the planets will
always be near or on the ecliptic circle it Is a
simple matter to locate the above planets at any
time on the chart. Thus on April 11 Venus will
be in right ascension XV1II%, and that point
on the outer circle connected with Polaris in-
tersects the ecliptic circle at a point just north
of the bowl of the Milkmaid's Dipper, and there
Venus will be seen in the middle of April. By
the same means Mars will be found close to the
Pleiades early in July and close to Regulus and
the Sickle in December.

Earth The equatorial diameter of the earth is
7,926.5 miles and the polar diameter 7.899 5
miles; equatorial circumference, 25.000. The lin-
ear velocity of the rotation of the earth on its
axis at the equator is 24,840 miles a day or 1 440
reet a second; its velocity in its orbit around
the sun is approximately nineteen miles per sec-
ond, the length of the orbit being about 660.000.-
000 miles. The superficial area of the earth,
according to Kncke, the astronomer, is 197.108.580
square miles, of which two-thirds is water and
one-third land. The planetary mass is about
256,000,000 cubic miles.
FACTS ABOUT THE SUN AND PLANETS.
The sun's surface is 12,000 and its volume
1,300,000 times that of the earth, but the mass is
only 332,000 times as great and its density about
one-quarter that of the earth. The force of
gravity at the surface of the sun is twenty-seven
times greater than that at the surface of the
earth. The sun rotates on its axis once in 25.3
days at the equator, but the time is longer in
tne higher latitudes, trom which fact it is pre-
sumed that the sun is not solid, at least as to
its surface.
THE EARTH AND THE MOON.
Moon The moon has a diameter of 2.162 miles,
a circumference of about 6,800 miles and a sur-
face area of 14,685,000 square miles. Her mean
distance from the earth is 238.840 miles. The
volume of the moon is about l-49th that of the
earth and the density about 3% that of water.
The time from new moon to new moon is 29
days 12 hours 44.05 minutes. The moon has no
atmosphere and no water and is a dead world.
Light travels at the rate of 186.300 miles per
second. It requires 8 minutes and 8 seconds for
light to come from the sun to the earth.

are indicated by fractional or negative quanti-
ties: thus Vega 0.2 and Sirius 1.4. As the
magnitudes increase the brilliancy decreases,
each increase of a unit being equal to a decrease

To ascertain when any star or constellation
will be on the upper meridian add the number
opposite in the column "For Meridian Passage"

to use its zenith distance as a means of locat-
ing it. The difference between the latitude and
dec. is this zenith distance. If the dec. is
greater than the latitude then such distance is
to be -counted northward, otherwise southward
from the zenith.

SIGNS AND CONSTELLATIONS OF THE ZODIAC.
Until recently it was taken for granted that
the present relationship between signs and con-
stellations of the zodiac was generally under-
stood, as all astronomical textbooks mention
tneir disagreement and explain the cause. The
numerous letters of inquiry concerning differ-
ences between the data in this almanac and cer-
tain others show the necessity for this note of
explanation.
Thousands of years ago when the zocliac, that
belt of the heavens about 16 in width within
which move the moon and planets, was formed
and divided into twelve parts or seasons called
signs, each containing certain star groups called
constellations, each was given the name of an
object or animal which never did bear any rela-
tionship to the configuration of the stnrs in th:it
group or division, but which did or is supposed
to have referent to certain astronomical or
other fncts. Thus Libra = . the scales or bal-
ance, comes at the autumnal equinox when there
is an equilibrium or balance between the lencth
of day and nisrht the world over. Aouirius.
-. the water-bearer, whose sign is the Egyptian
sign for running water, comes at the season
of greatest rains In Egypt, and so on,
Since the time when these divisions were made
and named, owing to the precession of the equi-
noxes, resulting from the differing polar and
equatorial diameters of the earth, the signs have
moved back west nearly a whole division or con-
stellation and where T was the first, X now is.
Hence, though the sun now enters the sign T
Mnreh 20. it is a month later when he enters the
constellation T . It must be apparent, therefore,
that any supposed influence or relationship which
early astrologers attributed to the position of
the sun, moon or planets when in certain of
these divisions can no longer exist, as the sign
now only represents that space or division of the
zodiac where the controlling constellation was
2.000 or more years ago, hut Is not now. Never-
theless some almanacs still give the signs for
the moon's place, which is very misleading to
those who attempt to follow hor in her course
among the stars. Hence, this almanac gives the
constellation and discards the ancient picture of
the diemboweled man as relics of the age of
superstition. The sign is retained for sun's place
in connection witu ttio seasons anrt sun's oatn
through the zodiac ea^h month because of its re-
lationship to the equinoxes and solstices.

EXAMPLES Venus will be about 3 hours or 45
west of the sun at the first of January and
therefore rise 3 hours before the sun. Saturn
wilV shine nearly equa'ly in the evening and
morning hours: Mars only for 30 minutes in the
morning.

ALL NIGHT STARS.
.
a morning star, which she will continue
until Sept. 11, or until she is lost in the
ing twilight somewhat before that time.
MERCURY ( a ) will be brightest as an eve-
ning star Feb. 1 to 7 and Sept. 27 to Oct. 5,
setting shortly after the sun, and near the same
place; also as a morning star March 16 to 23
and Nov. 3 to 10, rising about Ih. before the
sun and near tup sime point of the horizon.
He will be practically invisible at all other
times.
VENUS (9) will be brightest Jan. 1 to 10 as
morning star, which she will continue to be
morn-
. When
next visible she will be on the east side of the
sun as an evening star and so continue to the
end of the year, when she will set some two
Hours after the sun.
MARS (<7) will be too near the sun in Janu-
ary to be well soon. He will be a morning
star, being west of the sun until about Nov. 9,
when he may be considered an evening star.
and he remains so until tlie end of the year.
Ho will not attain his greatest brightness pos-
sible or usual this year, but will be best seen
toward the close of the year, and he will con-
tinue to increase in brightness until the latter
part of February, 1916, when he will be only
aoout one-tirtietn as bright as in 1907.
JUPITER (a) will be a rather dim evening
star at the beginning of the year, becoming in-
visible In February and March. Then he will
reappear on
.
other (west) side of the sun as
a morning star, and will so continue until about
the middle of June, when he will begin his
course as an evening star, remaining such to
the end of the year, though also called an all
night star during most of September, rising at
sunset Sept. 17, and brightest Sept. 12 to 22.
SATURN ( b ) will be nearly at his brightest
of the year at its beginning and close and may
oe best seen In January and December, being at
these times nearly an all night star. He will
be an evening star until June 28 or as long as
visible, for he will be Invisible for some w<>oks
before and after that date. When next visible,
the latter part of July or early in August, he-
will be a morning star and will so continue
until about uct. 1U. wnen be wru again be an
evening star and will so continue until the end
of the year.
URANUS (8) will be brightest Aug. 1 to 14.
NEPTUNE (v) will be brightest Jan. 10 to 26.
Both Uranus and Neptune are invisible to the
naked eye at all times.
NUMBER OF THE STARS.
According to the best astronomers the number
of stars that can be seen by a person of average
eyesight is only about 7,000. The number visible
through the telescope has been estimated by
J E Gore at 70,000.000 and by Profs. Newcomb
and Young at 100,000,000,

There will be two eclipses in 1915, both of the
sun, as follows:
I. Annular Feb. 14, invisible in United States;
visible in Indian ocean. Australia, etc.
II. Annular Aug. 10, invisible In U. S.; visible
in Pacific ocean, Asia, etc.
NOTE All eclipses occur In series, the first one
of which will take place at one of the poles and
the last one at the opposite pole. The whole
number in a series of lunar eclipses covers a
period of about 865 years and in the case of the
sun about 1,200 years. Two is the least number
that can occur In any one year and seven the
greatest. When two occur both must be of the
sun, as this year, and when there are seven five
must be of the sun, as will be the case in 1917
and 1!35.

Ihe full moon nearest to Sept. 21 Is popularly
known as the "harvest moon.'' This is because
the moon then rises, for several consecutive eve-
nings, at nearly the same hour, giving an un-
usual number of moonlight evenings. This is tho

disappears at the equator.
The "hunter's moon" is the first full moon
following the harvest moon.
BERLIN AND NEW YORK WIRELESS COMMUNICATION.
Wireless pross messages between Germany and
the United States were exchanged for the first
time Feb. 12. 1914. The stations used were at
Sayvllle. L. I., and Nouen, twenty-five miles
from Berlin. These are about 4,000 miles apart,
but little difficulty was experienced in reading
the messages at either end as the conditions for
transmission were declared to be perfect. On
the Invitation of the Atlantic Communication
company The Associated Press and a number of
newspapers sent greetings to the Berlin news-
papers, to the Wolff bureau, Kmperor William,
Ambassador .Tames W. Gerard and Mayor Wer-
muth of Berlin, cordial replies being " received
from all.
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOE 1915.
TIME AND STANDARDS OF TIME.
Various kinds of time are in use in this coun-
try:
1. Astronomical Time or Mean So'ar T:me This
is reckoned from noon through the twenty-four
hours of the day and is used mainly by astro-
nomical observatories and in official astronomical
publications. It is the legal time of the domin-
ion ofxCanada, though "standard" and "mean"
time are in general use there as in this country.
2. Mean Local Time This is the kind that was
in almost universal use prior to the introduction
of standard time. This time was based upon the
time when the mean sun* crosses the meridian,
and the day begins at midnight. When divided
into civil divisions years, months, weeks, days,
etc. it is sometimes called civil time.
3. Standard Time For the convenience of the
railroads and business in general a standard of
time was established by mutual agreement in
1883 and by this calculation trains are now run
and local time is regu'.ated. By this system the
United States, extending from 65 to 125 -west
longitude,- is divided into four time sections, each
of 15
hour (
commencing with the 75th meridian. The first or
eastern section includes all territory between the
Atlantic coast and an irregular line drawn from
Buffalo to Charleston. S. C., the latter city being
of longitude, exactly equivalent to one
r 30m. on each side of a meridian),
its southernmost point. The second or central
section includes all the territory between this
eastern line and another irregular line extending
from Bismarck, N. D., to the mouth of the Rio
Grande. The third or mountain section includes
aJ the territory between the last named line and
nearly the western borders of Idaho, Nevada and
Arizona. The fourth or Pacific section includes
all the territory of the United States between
the boundary of the mountain section and the
Pacific coast. Inside of each of these sections
standard time is uniform and the time of each
section differs from that next to it by exactly
one hour, as shown on the map.
*Owing to the eccentricity of the earth's orbit
and the inclination of the equator to the eclip-
tic, the apparent motion of the sun is retarded
or accelerated according to the earth's place in
its orbit. Hence, to take the actual sun as a
guide would necessitate years, days and their
subdivisions of unequal length. Therefore an im-
aginary or "mean sun" was invented. The dif-
ference between apparent and mean time is
called the "equation of time" and may amount
to a quarter of an hour in twentv-four hours. It
is the difference between the figures in "Sun at
noon mark" column in calendar and twelve hours.
The figures on a correct sun- dial give the ap-
parent time.
STANDARDS OF TIME.

It is obvious that to express the time of rising
and setting of the sun and moon in standard
time would limit the usefulness of such data to
the single point or place for which it was com-
puted, while in mean time it is practically cor-
rect for places as widely separated as the width
of the continent (see note at bottom of February
calendar), and persons having obtained the mean
time by the rising or setting of the sun or moon
may easily ascertain the correct standard time
of any event by making use of the following

ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOB 1915.
All the calculations in this Almanac and Year-
Book are based upon mean or clock time unless
otherwise stated. The sun's rising nnd setting
are for the upper limb, corrected for parallax
and refraction. In the case of the moon no cor-
rection is needed, as in the sun, for "parallax
and refraction"; with her they are of an oppo-
site nature and just balance each other. The
figures given, therefore, are for the moon's cen-
ter on a true horizon such as the ocean affords.
The calculations in each of the geographical
divisions of each calendar page will apply with
sufficient accuracy to all places In the contigu-
ous North American zones indicated by the head-
ings of the divisions.
The heavy dotted lines show the arbitrary
(standard) divisions of time in the United States.
The plus and minus marks on either side of the
meridian lines show whether It is necessary to
add to or subtract from the mean time of points
east or west of these lines to arrive at actual
standard time. Example: Chicago is 2% east of
th<; 90th meridian; therefore Chicago local time =
21/2 x 4 = 10 to be subtracted from mean time to =
standard time, and for Boston standard (eastern)
time, 16m. must be subtracted from mean time.

WHERE FRUITS AND NUTS ARE IMPORTED FROM.
In 1913 the domestic food supply of the United
States was supplemented by $32,000,000 worth of
fruits and $16,000,000 worth of nuts from for-
eign countries and, in addition, more than $4,-
000,000 worth of fruits and nuts from Hawaii
and $3,500,000 worth from Porto Rico. A com-
paratively small number of countries supply
most of the fruits and nuts, other than those
of domestic production, consumed In the United
States. Bananas are exclusively from American
countries, .chiefly the British West Indies and
Central America; the imports in 1912 were
valued at $15,000,000, or almost double the figures
of 1903. Sicily supplied most of the $6,500,000
worth of lemons imported. We now import more
than 40,000,000 pounds of dates annually, chiefly
from Asiatic Turkey. Currants come principally
from Greece, from which country we import
from 30.000.000 to 40.000.000 pounds annually.
-Most of the 20.000.000 pounds of fies imported
annually come from a strip of land near Smyrna
about ninety miles long and less than one mile
wide, this being the world's chief dried-fig dis-
trict. We also import from 1,000,000 to 2,000,-
000 cubic feet of grapes, nearly all from Spain.
Spain rivals Asiatic Turkey as a source for our
imported raisins and exceeds Greece and Italy
In shipments of olives to the United States,
though Italy still supplies most of our imported
olive oil. The domestic orange has almost en-
tirely supplanted the Imported fruit, the few
oranges still being imported coming chiefly from
.Jamaica. In Hawaii the pineapple Is becoming
an important industry, that island having sent
us In 1913 $4,000,000 worth, or forty times as
much as in 1903. Cuba is also an Important
source, while pineapples are received from Porto
Kico in rapidly increasing quantities.
The so-called English walnut Is almost exclu-
sively the product of France, from which country
we import from 15.000.000 to 25.000,000 pounds an-
nually. Our imported almonds are mostly from
Spain and Italy; our filberts from Italy and
Spain; cream nuts from Brazil: cocoanuts in the
shell from Central America and the West In-

ELECTRICAL UNITS DEFINED.
Ohm Unit of resistance; represents resistance
offered to an unvarying electric current by a
column of mercury at the temperature of ice,
14.5421 grams in mass, of a cross-sectional area
of 1.00003 square millimeters and of the length
of 106.3 centimeters.
Ampere Unit of current; decomposes .0009324 of
a gram of water in one second or deposits sil-
ver at the rate of .001118 of a gram per second,
when passed through a solution of nitrate of
silver in water.
Volt Unit of electro motive force; one volt
equals one ampere of current passing through
a substance having one ohm of resistance.
Coulomb Unit of quantity; amount of electricity
transferred by a current of one ampere in one
second.
Farad Unit of capacity; capacity of a con-
denser charged to a potential of one volt by
one coulomb. A microfarad is one-millionth o'f
a farad.
Joule Unit of work; equivalent to energy ex-
pended in one second by one ampere current in
one ohm resistance.
Watt Unit of power; equivalent to work done
at the rate of one joule per second. A kilo-
watt is 1,000 watts.

THE MONROE AND
The "Monroe doctrine" was enunciated 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 continent, the president went 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 conti-
nents, by the free and independent condition
which they have assumed and maintain, are
henceforth not to be considered as subjects for
future colonization 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 govern-
ments who have declared their independence
and maintain it, and whose independence we
have, on great consideration and on just prin-
ciples, 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 disposi-
tion toward the United States."
DBAGO DOCTRINES.
DRAGO DOCTRINE.
When in the winter of 1902-03 Germany.
Britain and Italy blockaded the ports of Ven-
ezuela in attempt to make the latter country
settle up its debts Dr. L. F. Drago. a noted
jurist of Argentina, maintained that force cannot
be used by one power to collect money owing
to its citizens by another power. Prominence
was given to the contention by the fact that
it was officially upheld by Argentina and fa-
vored by other South American republics. The
principle embodied has become generally known
as the "Drago doctrine."
LODGE RESOLUTION.
In connection with the reported attempt of
Japan to obtain land for the establishment of a
naval base in Magdalena bay, on the western
coast of Mexico, the senate of the United States
adopted the following resolution Aug. 2, 1912:
"Resolved, That when any harbor or other
place in the American continents is so situated
that the occupation thereof for naval or mili-
tary purposes might threaten the communica-
tions or the safety of the United States, the
government of the United States could not
see without grave concern the possession of
such harbor or other place by any corporation
or association which has such relation to an-
other government, not American, as to give
that govenment practical power of control for
national purposes."

ALMANAO AND YEAR-BOOK FOB 1915.
55
Aliens may become citizens of the United
States by treaties with foreign powers, by con-
quest or by special acts of congress.
In an act approved March 2, 1907, It Is .provid-
ed that any American citizen shall have ex-
patriated himself when he has been naturalized
in any foreign state in conformity with its
laws, or when he has taken an oath of allegiance
to any foreign state.
When any naturalized citizen shall have re-
sided for two years in tne foreign state from
which he came, or five years in any other for-
eign state, it shall be presumed that he has
ceased to be an American citizen, and the place
<>f his general abode shall be deemed his place
of residence during said years; provided, how-
ever, that such presumption may be overcome on
the presentation of satisfactory evidence to a
iliplomatic or consular officer of the United
States, under such rules and regulations as the
department of state may prescribe; and, pro-
vided also, that no American citizen shall be
allowed to expatriate himself when this country
is at war.
Any American woman who marries a foreigner
shall take the nationality of her husband. At
the termination of the marital relation she may
resume her American citizenship, if abroad, by
registering as an American citizen within one
year with a consul of the United States, or by
returning to reside in the United States, or, if
residing in the United States at the termination
of the marital relation, by continuing to reside
therein.
Any foreign woman who acquires American
citizenship by marriage to an American citizen
shall be assumed to retain the same after the
termination of the marital relation if she con-
tinue to reside in the United States, unless she
makes formal renunciation thereof before a court
having jurisdiction to naturalize aliens, or, if
she resides abroad, she may retain her citizen-
ship by registering as such before a United
States consul within one year after the termi-
nation of such marital relation.
A child born without the United States, of
alien parents, shall be deemed a citizen of the
United States by virtue of the naturalization of
or resumption of American citizenship of the
parent; provided that such naturalization or re-
sumption takes place during the minority of such
child; and, provided further, that the citizen-
snip of such minor child snail begin at the time
such minor child begins to reside permanently
in the Unlte'd States.
All children born outside the limits of the
United States, who are citizens thereof in ac-
cordance with the provisions of section 1993 of
tne Revised Statutes or tne United States (see
tibove), and who continue to reside outside of
the United States, shall, in order to receive the
protection of the government, be required, upon
reaching the age of 18 years, to record at an
American consulate their intention to become
residents ana remain citizens of the United
States and shall further be required to take the
oath of allegiance to the United States upon at-
taining their majority.
NATURALIZATION LAWS.
Approved June 29, 1906.
Exclusive jurisdiction to naturalize aliens resi-
dent in their districts is conferred upon the

3. He shall, before he is admitted to citizen-

plication he has resided continuously within the
United States five years at least, and within
the state or territory where such court is at
the time held one year at least, and that during
that time he has behaved as a man of good
moral character, attached to the principles of
the constitution. In addition to the oath of the
applicant, the testimony of at least two wit-
nesses, citizens of the United States, as to the
facts of residence, moral character and attach-
ment to the principles of the constitution shall

ing with the other provisions of the act, be nat-

tention.

arrival in the United States and the date for the
nnal hearing of his petition and the names of

ASSASSINATION OF JEAN JAURES.
Jean Leon Jaures, noted as a socialist leader
and orator, was assassinated Friday evenim,
July 31, 1914, as he was (lining in a small res-
tcurant near the bourse in Paris, France. He
was shot dead by Raoul Villain, 29 years of age
and son of a clerk of the civil court in Reims.
The assassin on being arrested said he commit-
ted the act because Jaures had betrayed France
in leading the campaign against the three year
military law. Occurring as it did in the midst
of the excitement over war preparations through-
out Europe ttoe murder caused -a sensation, par-
ticularly as the victim had been laboring ener-
getically to make war impossible.
M. Jean Jaures was born' in 1859 at Castres
and in 1885 entered politics as a conservative re-
publican. In 1889 he became a socialist and later
as a member of the chamber of deputies ac-
quired wide fame as the leader of his party and
as an opponent of war.
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN THE UNITED STATES.
Capital punishment prevails in all of the states
of the union except Kansas. Maine, Minnesota.
Rhode Island, Washington and Wisconsin. In
Michigan the only crime punishable by death is
treason. The death penalty was abolished in the
state of Washington in 1913. It was abolished
in Iowa in 1872 and restored in 1878. It was
also abolished in Colorado in 1897, but was re-
stored in 1901. Hanging is the ordinary mode of
execution, but in Indiana. New York. Nebraska.
Ohio. Pennsylvania, Vermont and Virginia elec-
trocution is the legal method. In Nevada hang-
ing or shooting is optional with the condemned.

point of dry land in the United States Is less
than eighty miles from the highest. According
to the United States geological survey, the low-
est point is in Death Valley, California, and Is
276 feet below sea level. It is said that from
this place Mount Whitney, the summit of 1 which
Is 14,501 feet above sea level and the highest
point In the country, can be seen on a clear
day.
DISASTROUS STORMS IN PARIS.
Paris, France, >was visited by one of the most
violent rain and thunder storms in its historv on
the evening of June 15, 1914. Eight lives were
lost and the damage to streets and buildings was
estimated at millions of dollars. The rain fell
for three hours in such torrents that several
streets and boulevards caved in. engulfing a num-
ber of passers-by. Water and gas mains burst,
while telephone and electric light wires were
broken. At the junction of the Rue la Boetle

ance of bonds by the city of San Francisco and
the balance of $7,500,000 by popular subscrip-
tions. No government aid was asked.
The site is a natural amphitheater within the
residential section of San Francisco, covering
635 acres, fronting on San Francisco bay over-
looking the Golden Gate. There will be fourteen
main exhibit palaces, costing about $8.000,000.

mated at $50,000,000. The exposition opens Feb.
20. 1915. and closes Dec. 4.

DISASTER TO NEWFOUNDLAND SEAL HUNTERS.
One of the worst calamities in the history of
the Newfoundland sealing industry occurred
March 31 and April 1. 1914, in Belle Isle strait.
Four steamers were working in among the ice
floes on which the seals are found and about
1,000 men were scattered about killing the ani-
mals when at noon of March 31 a storm sprang
UP without any previous indication of its ap-
proach. Most of the sealers got back to their
vessels in safety, but the most of the men from
the steamer Newfoundland, after taking refuge
on th~e Stephano, the nearest craft. left to go
aboard their own ship, as the Stephano had to
pick up its own men. The sealers from the
Newfoundland lost their way and seventy-seven
of them were frozen to death in the blizzard
that night or the following day. The storm
did not moderate until the morning of April 2.
Fifty of the men were picked up alive by the
steamer 1 Bellaventure, but many of them were
permanently crippled. Sixty-nine of the dead
were recovered and brought to St. John's on
the same vessel. The Newfoundland was not
wrecked, but was caught in the ice and not
released until several days after the storm.
The captain supposed that the missing men
were safe on one of the other vessels.
The Southern Cross, another sealing steamer
with from 170 to 180' men aboard and laden with
17,000 seals, was lost in the same gale with
all hands probably on April 1. ^No trace of the
vessel was found and just wh'at happened to
it was never learned.

ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1915.
THE GREAT SEAL OF
July 4. 1776, congress appointed Benjamin
Franklin. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson a
committee to prepare a device for a seal of the
United States. The designs submitted by these
statesmen and by several subsequent committees
failed to satisfy congress and it was not until
June 20, 1782, that a device was officially ap-
proved. The design accepted was the joint
work of Charles Thomson,, the secretary of con-
gress, and William Barton, a citizen of Phila-
delphia. It is described in the act (of the date
given) thus:
"The device for an armorial achievement and
reverse of the great seal of the United States in
congress assembled is as follows:
"Arms. Pale ways of thirteen pieces, argent
and gules; a chief, azure; the escutcheon on the
breast of the American eagle displayed proper,
holding in his dexter talon an olive branch, and
in his sinister a bundle of thirteen arrows, all
proper, and in his beak a scroll, inscribed with

"Foi the crest. Over the head of the eagle,
which appears above the escutcheon, a glory, or
breaking through a cloud, proper, and surround-
ing thirteen stars, forming a constellation, ar-
gent, on an azure field.

JiEM.UtKS AND EXPLANATION.
"The escutcheon is composed of the chief and
pale, the two most honorable ordinaries. The
pieces, paly, represent the several states, all
joined in one solid compact entire, supporting a
chief, which unites the whole and represents
congress. The motto alludes to this union. The
pales in the arms are kept closely united by the
chief and the chief depends on that union and
the strength resulting from it for its support, to
denote the confederacy of the United States of
America and the preservation of their union
through congress. The colors of the pales are
those used in the flag of the United States of
America. White signifies purity and innocence;
red, hardiness and valor; and blue, the color of
the chief, signifies vigilance, perseverance and
justice. The olive branch and arrows denote the
power of peace and war, which is exclusively
vested in congress. The constellation denotes a
new state taking its place and rank among other
sovereign powers. The escutcheon is borne on
the breast of an American eagle without any
other supporters, to denote that the United
States of America ought to rely on their own
virtue.
THE UNITED STATES.
"Reverse. The pyramid signifies strength and
duration: The eye over it and the motto allude
to the many signal interpositions of Providence
in favor of the American cause. The date under-
neath is that of the declaration of independence
and the words under it signify the beginning of
the new American era, which commences from
that date."

SENTENCED FOR OLEOMARGARINE FRAUDS.
John F. Jelke, president of the John F. Jelke
company of Chicago, was sentenced May 4, 1914,
to serve two years In the federal prison at
Leaven worth, Kas., and to pay a fine of $10,000
for conspiring to defraud the government of
taxes on colored oleomargarine. Seven fellow
defendants were fined $2,600 each on the same
charge. The sentences were Imposed by Judge
Ferdinand A. Geiger In the United States Dis-
trict court in Chicago, where the trial of the
case began Feb. 24, 1914, and ended March 18
In a verdict of guilty. Those who escaped a
prison sentence were William M. Steele, general
manager of the Jelke company; Hugh D. Camer-
on, Milwaukee representative; Harry E. Hitch-
ens, salesman; William L. Lillard, a former
salesman; D. B. Tullis, a former salesman;
Fred Rapp, 'former salesman; William P. Jack-
son, former manager of a company absorbed by
the Jelke company.
The charge against the defendants was 'that
they sold uncolored butterlne to dealers and
also coloring matter, which was so used that
the oleomargarine might be sold to the public
in colored form, thus evading the payment by
the company of the government tax of 10 cents
a pound on colored butterine. The defendants
were indicted in the summer of 1911.
FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES.
The national flag of the United States now
consists of thirteen alternate red and white
stripes, representing the original thirteen states,
and a blue field on which are forty-eight white
stars arranged In six rows of eight stars each,
representing the forty -eight states now coiistl
tutlng the union. The last two stars were
added In 1912 when New Mexico and Arizona
were officially admitted as states. June 14 is
generally observed as flag display day.
Laws are in force in some of the states for-
bidding the desecration or mutilation of the flag
or Its use in any way for advertising purposes.
A federal law forbids the use of the national
flag on trade marks.

UNITED STATES CIVIL SERVICE.
Civil service act approved Jan. 16, 1883.
Three commissioners are appointed by limitations In the more^ important branches of
Officer:
the president to assist him in classifying the
government offices and positions, formulating
rules and enforcing the law. Their office is in
Washington, D. C. The chief examiner is ap-
pointed by the commissioners to secure accuracy,
uniformity and justice in the proceedings of the
examining boards. The secretary to the com-
mission is appointed by the president.
General Rules The fundamental rules govern-
found in the civil service act itself. 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 applicants for positions in the
public service; that appointments shall be made
from those graded highest in the examinations;
that appointments to the service in Washington
shall be apportioned among the states and terri-
tories according to population; 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 contribute; that no
his official authority or influence to coerce the
political action of any .person. Applicants for
positions shall not be questioned as to their
political 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 in-
clude all officers and employes In the executive
civil service of the United States except laborers
and persons whose appointments are subject to
confirmation by the senate.
Examinations These are conducted by boards
of examiners chosen from -among persons in gov-
ernment employ and are held twice a year in all
the states and territories at convenient places.
In Illinois, for example, they are usually held
at Cairo, Chicago and Peoria. The dates are an-
nounced through the newspapers or by other
means. They can always be learned by applying
to the commission or to the nearest postoffice or
custom house. Those who desire to take exami-
nations are advised to. write to the commission
in Washington for the "Manual of Examina-
tions," 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 con-
tains a schedule of the fall examinations. Full
information is given as to the methods and rules
governing examinations, manner of making appli-
cation, qualifications required, regulations for
rating examination papers, certification for and
chances of appointment, and as far as possible
it outlines the scope of the different subjects of
general and technical examinations. These are
practical in character and are designed to test
the relative capacity and fitness to discharge the
duties to be performed. It is necessary to obtain
an average percentage of 70 to be eligible for
appointment, except that applicants entitled to
preference because of honorable discharge from
the military or naval service for disability re-
sulting from wounds or sickness incurred in the
line of duty need obtain but 65 per cent. The
period of eligibility is one year.
Qualifications of Applicants No person will be
examined who is not a citizen of the United
States: who is not within the age limitations
prescribed; who is physically disqualified for the
service which he seeks; who has been guilty of
criminal infamous, dishonest or disgraceful con-
duct; wno has been dismissed from the public
service for delinquency and misconduct or has
failed to receive absolute appointment after pro-
bation; who is addicted to the habitual use of
intoxicating liquors to excess, or who has made
a false statement in his application. The age
the public service are: PostutflGe, 18 to 45 years;
rural letter carriers, 17 to 55; internal revenue,
21 years and over; railway mail, 18 to 35; light-
house, 18 to 50; life saving, 18 to 45; general de-
partmental, 20 and over. These age limitations
are subject to change by the commission They
do not apply to applicants of the preferred class.
Applicants for the position of railway mail clerk
must be at least 5 feet 6 inches in height ex-
clusive of boots or shoes, and weigh not less 'than
135 pounds in ordinary clothing and have no
physical defects. Applicants for certain other
positions have to come up to similar physical re-
quirements.
Method of Appointment Whenever a vacancy
exists the appointing officer makes requisition
upon the civil service commission for a certifica
tion 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
three persons standing highest of the sex called
for and certifies them to the appointing officer,
who is required to make the selection. He mav
choose any one of the three names, returning the
other two to the register to await further certifi-
cation. The time of examination is not consid-
ered, as the highest in average percentage on the
register must be certified first. If after a pro-
bationary period of six months the name of the
appointee is continued on the roll of the depart-
ment in which he serves the appointment is con-
sidered 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 department service is
usually in the lowest grades, the higher grades
being generally filled by promotion. The usual
entrance grade is about $900, but the applicant
may be appointed at $840, $760 or even $600.

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT DECISIONS,
Handed down
INTERMOUXTAIN RATE CASE.
In the Intermountain rate case the United
States Supreme court reversed the decision of the
Commerce court and upheld the order of the In-
terstate commerce commission. The Commerce
court held that the commission had no authority
to Issue "blanket" or "zone" orders as to rates
as had been done in June and July, 1911, but
could only act in regard to the reasonableness or
unreasonableness of specific rates. The orders in
question -were issued uuder authority of the long
and short haul section of the interstate com-
merce act, which clothed the commission with
discretion- to make exceptions to the general rule.
The commission refused to let the railroads
charge a higher rate to the protesting cities In
the Rocky mountain region than was charged to
points beyond them on shipments originating
west of a line that would run north and south
through St. Paul, but on shipments originating
between St. Paul and Chicago the railroads were
rrmltted to charge an Increase of not more than
per cent;- on shipments originating between
Chicago and Pittsburgh, not more than 10 per
cent, and from the zone between Pittsburgh and
the Atlantic, not more than 25 per cent. The
Supreme court held that this order was sustained
by the facts upon which It was based and did
not exceed the powers which the statute con-
ferred or transcend the limits of the sound legal
discretion which it lodged in the commission
-when acting upon the subject before It.
The long and short haul clause was held to be
constitutional. The court said:
"The situation under the amendment [to the
interstate commerce act] is: Power in the car-
rier primarily to meet competitive conditions in
any point of view by charging a lesser rate for
a longer than for a shorter haul has ceased to
exist, because to do so in the absence of some
authority would not only be inimical to the pro-
vision of the fourth section but would be In con-
flict with the preference and discrimination
clauses of the second and third sections.
"But while the public power previously lodged
In the carrier is thus withdrawn and reposed In
the commission, the right of carriers to seek and
obtain, under authorized circumstances, the
sanction of the commission to charge a higher
rate for a longer than for a shorter haul because
of competition or for other adequate reasons is
expressly preserved, and if not is in any event
by necessary implication granted.
"And as a correlative, the authority of the
commission to grant on request the right sought
is made by the statute to depend upon the facts
established and the judgment of that body in
June 22, 1914.
the exercise of a sound legal discretion as to
whether the request should be granted compati-
bly with a due consideration of the private and
public interests concerned and In view of the
preference and discrimination clauses of the sec-
ond and third sections."
OIL LANDS CASE.
In the oil lands case the court confirmed the
title of the Southern Pacific Railroad company to
200,000 acres of oil bearing lands in California,
estimated to be worth $700,000,000. The decision
was that the patents involved were irregular but
that they could not be attacked collaterally by
other claimants; they could only be set aside lay
a direct attack by the government. The time in
which that could be done had expired in 1900 or
1901.
"In every case before this court," said Justice
Van Deventer, "we have held that where the
law says that only mineral or homestead lands
are to be granted by the land officials the offi-
cials must do their duty of ascertaining whether
that land came within the law, and they could
not perform their duty by inserting exceptions
that the land should not pass If found later to
be within the law."
PIPE LINE CASE.
The pipe line amendment to the Hepburn rate
law of 1906 was upheld by the Supreme court.
When the interstate commerce commission began
to enforce the law it called upon the pipe line
companies to file rates, but six of them, includ-
ing the Standard Oil company, refused to comply.
They appealed to the Commerce court and it en-
joined the enforcement of the order 'on the
ground that the amendment was unconstitutional.
The Supreme court held that pipe lines were
common carriers subject to the authority of the
interstate commerce commission and that the
Hepburn act was necessary to carry out the dis-
solution of the oil trust.
LUMBER TRUST CASE.
The decree of the New York federal court hold-
ing that organizations of retail lumber dealers in
the eastern states had violated the Sherman
antitrust law by circulating among their mem-
bers blacklists of wholesalers who sold lumber
direct to large consumers was affirmed. The
court held that the government may maintain a
criminal action under the act against an asso-
ciation of business men for "blacklisting," even
if the act of proscription went no further than
merely to notify other members of the associa-
tion that the particular object of the blacklist
was the doing of a specific act.

classified as follows:
1. Assistance of vessels in distress.
2. Co-operation with the navy in times of war.
3. Destruction of derelicts and other menaces
to navigation.
4. Protection of the customs revenue.
5. Enforcement of the navigation and other

The revenue cutter service, which Is organized
on a military basis, Is under control of the sec-
retary of the treasury, the assistant secretary
having supervision. The administration is in
charge of a captain commandant, whose office is
ia Washington, D. C. The authorized commis-
sioned personnel consists of 159 line officers. 81

INTERNATIONAL RULES
Delegates representing fourteen maritime na-
tions, at the conclusion of a long conference on
matters relating to the promotion of greater
safety at sea, signed a convention in London
Jan. 20, 1914, laying down regulations for the
future. These are to become effective July 1,
1915, after the governments concerned have
given their formal approval. Briefly, the Inter-
national rules provide:
That all merchant vessels carrying fifty or
more persons (passengers or crew) and engaged
in international or colonial voyages, must be
equipped with wireless apparatus; an exception
is made in the case of vessels not going more
than 150 miles from land. The apparatus must
have a minimum range of 100 miles.
That there must be enough lifeboat accommo-
dations for all persons on board a ship, and that
there must be a minimum number of members of
the crew holding government certificates that
they are competent to handle boats and rafts.
That no dangerous goods shall be carried; each
FOR SAFETY AT SEA.
administration is to issue warnings as to what
goods are dangerous.
That there shall be an organized system oC
patrols for detecting fires and adequate provis-
ion for extinguishing them.
That a patrol, under the supervision of the
United States, is to be established for making
ice observations and destroying derelicts In the
North Atlantic; all ship masters must report
dangerous ice and derelicts.
That an international code for urgent and im-
portant signals be used.
Ships of contracting states which comply with
the requirements of the convention will be fur-
nished with certificates. Provision is also made
for the Interchange of rules relating to safety
at sea and for the imposition of penalties by
each government for violations of such rules as
are specified in the convention.
The convention was ratified by the United
States senate March 25, 1914.
LOSS OF OLD DOMINION LINER MONROE.
The liner Monroe of the Old Dominion Steam-
ship company was sunk in a collision with the
steamer Nantucket of the Merchants and Miners'
line off the coast of Virginia at 1:40 o'clock on
the morning of Jan. 30, 1914. Forty-one persons
lost their lives. Of these nineteen were passen-
gers and twenty-two members of the crew. The
Monroe left Norfolk, Va., at 7:40 p. m., Jan. 29
and ran into a light fog when outside the capes.
She was proceeding cautiously on her way to
New York, blowing a fog whistle every minute
by an automatic time clock, and was about half
way between Cape Charles ligLtship and the
Winter Quarter lightship when, she stopped on
hearing a fog whistle on her starboard bow.
Signals were exchanged, but in a few moments
the other vessel, which proved to be the Nan-
tucket, crashed into the starbonrd side of the
Monroe. The bow of the Nantucket penetrated
one-third of the width of the Monroe and made
sinking inevitable. '
Every effort was made by the captain aqd
crew to rescue the passengers. One lifeboat was
crushed, another fell into the water and was
swamped, while the boats on the port side could
not be used on account of the heavy list of the
vessel to the starboard. Two lifeboats, however,
were successfully loaded and launched and sev-
eral life rafts were also instrumental in saving
many persons. Ferdinand Kuehn, wireless oper-
ator on the Monroe, nfter sending out signals
for assistance, gave his life preserver to a wom-
an just as the steamer began to sink, and went
down with the ship.
The men and women on the lifeboats and rafts
were picked up by the Nantucket and conveyed
to Norfolk. They numbered thirty-nine passen-
gers and sixty sailors, making a total of ninety-
nine. Two of those picked up died from ex-
posure.

other version of it if it be a literary work; to
dramatize It if it be a noudramatic work- to

So far as it secures copyright controlling the
parts of instruments serving to reproduce me-
chanically the musical work the law includes
only compositions published after the act went
into effect; it does not include the works of a
foreign author or composer unless the country of
which he is a citizen or subject grants similar
rights to American citizens. Whenever the owner
of a musical copyright has used or permitted the
use of the copyrighted work upon the part of in-
struments serving to reproduce mechanically the
musical work, any other person may make a sim-
ilar use of the work upon the payment to the
owner of a royalty of 2 cents on each such part
manufactured. The reproduction or rendition of
a musical composition by or upon coin-operated
machines shall not be deemed a public perform-
ance for profit unless a fee is charged for ad-
mission to the place where the reproduction
occurs.
The works for which copyright may be secured
include all the writings of an author.
The application for registration shall specify
to which of the following classes the work in
which copyright is claimed belongs:
(a) Books, including composite and cyclopedic
works, directories, gazetteers and other compila-
tions.

(k) Prints and pictorial illustrations.
(1) Motion picture photo plays.
(m) Motion pictures other than photo plays.
These specifications do not, however, limit the
subject matter of copyright as defined in the law
nor does any error In classification invalidate the
copyright protection secured.
Copyright extends to the work of a foreign
author or proprietor only In case be is domiciled
in the United States at the time of the first pub-
lication of his work or if the country of which
he is a citizen grants similar copyright protec-
tion to citizens of the United States.
Any person entitled thereto by the law may
secure copyright for his work by publication
thereof with the notice of copyright required bv
the act. and such notice shall be affixed to each
copy published or offered for sale in the United
THE UNITED STATES.
States. Such person may obtain registration of
his claim to copyright by complying with the
provisions of the act, Including the deposit of
copies, whereupon the register of copyrights shall
issue to him a certificate as provided for in thp
law. Copyright may also be had of the works of
an author of which copies are not reproduced for
sale by the deposit with claim of copvright of
one complete copy, If it be a lecture or similar
production, or a dramatic or musical composi-
tion; of a title and description, with one print
taken from each scene <5r act. if the work be a
motion picture photo play; of a photographic
print if it be a photograph; of a title and de-
scription, with not less than two prints taken
from different sections of a complete motion pic-
ture, if the work be a motion picture other than
a photo play, of of a photograph or other iden-
tifying reproduction thereof if it be a work
of art or a plastic work or drawing.
After copyright has been secured there must
be deposited in the copyright office in Washing
ton, D. C., two complete copies of the best edi-
tion thereof, which copies, if the work be a book
or periodical, shall have been produced in ac-
cordance with the manufacturing provisions of
the act, or if such work be a contribution to it
periodical for which contribution special regis-
tration is requested one copy of the issue or
issues containing such contribution. Failure to
deposit the copies within a given time after
notice from the register of copyrights makes the
proprietor of the copyright liable to a fine pf
$100 and twice the retail price of the work, and
the copyright becomes void.
The text of all books and periodicals specified
in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, except the orig
inal text of a book of foreign origin in a lan-
guage other than English, must in order to secure
protection be printed from type set within the
limits of the United States, either by hand, ma-
chinery or other process, and the printing of the
text and the binding of the books must also bo
done within the United States. An affidavit of
such manufacture is required.

of the word "copyright" or the abbreviation
"copr.," accompanied by the name of the copy-
right proprietor, and if the work be a printed
literary, musical or dramatic work, the notice
must also include the year in which the copy-
right was secured by publication. In the case,
however, of copies of works specified In para-
graphs (f) to (k) inclusive (given above) the no-
tice may consist of the letter C Inclosed withir

tion the notice shall be applied on the title page
or on the page immediately following, or if a
periodical either upon the title page or upon the
first page of text of each separate number or un-
der the title heading; or if a musical work upon
its title page or the first page of music.
Where the copyright proprietor has sought to
comply with the law with respect to notice, the
omission of such notice by mistake from a par-
ticular copy or copies shall not invalidate the
copyright or prevent recovery for infringement
against any person who, after actual notice of
the copyright, begins an undertaking to infringe
it, but shall prevent the recovery of damages
against an innocent infringer who has been mis-
led by the omission -of the notice.
In the case of a book In English published
abroad before publication in this country, the
deposit in the copyright office within thirty days
of one copy of the foreign edition, with a re-
quest for the reservation of the copyright, se-
cures for the author or owner an ad interim
copyright for thirty days after such deposit is
made.
The copyright secured by the act endures for
twenty-eight year* from the date of the first
publication. In the case of any posthumous
work, periodical, encyclopedic or other composite
work upon which the copyright was originally
secured by the proprietor thereof, or of any work

dividual author to a periodical or to a cyclopedic
'r other composite work when such contribution

next of kin, If the author be dead, shall be en-
titled to a renewal of the copyright for a fur-
ther term of twenty-eight years. In default of

any work shall end at the expiration of twenty-
eight years.

right has used or permitted the use of the copy-
righted work upon the parts of musical instru-
ments serving to reproduce mechanically the
musical work, then in case of infringement by
tho unauthorized manufacture, use or sale of in-
terchangeable parts, such as disks, rolls, bands

Germany uses between 40,000,000 and 50,000,000
gallons of denatured alcohol a year, of which
more than 30,000,000 gallons are sold to the
general public for burning purposes. The Impor-
tance of this fuel in Germany may be appre-

about 18,000,000 gallons, the United States about
JO.000,000 gallons, and the united kingdom only
ALCOHOL FOR FUEL.
4 000,000 gallons, according to Charles A. Cramp-

not only gaining in favor for general burning
purposes, but efforts are being made to find a
way of usinsr it as a motor fuel tn place of
gasoline,

From "Notice to Passengers" Issued by the
secretary of the United States treasury.
Paragraph 642. appearing in the free list of
the present tariff act, reads as follows:
"Wearing apparel, articles of personal adorn-
ment, toilet articles, and similar personal effects
of persons arriving in the United States; but
this exemption shall include on'.y such articles as
were actually owned by them and in their pos-
session abroad at the time of or prior to their
departure from a foreign country, and as are
necessary and appropriate for the wear and use
of such persons and are intended for such wear
and use, and shall not be held to apply to mer-
chandise or articles intended for other persons
or for sale: Provided, That in case of residents
of the United States returning from abroad all
wearing apparel, personal and household effects
taken by them out of the United States to for-
eign countries shall be admitted free of duty,
without regard to their value, upon their iden-
tity being established under appropriate rules
and regulations to be prescribed by the secretary
of the treasury: Provided further. That up to
but not exceeding $100 in value of articles ac-
quired abroad by such residents of the United
Mates for personal or household use or as sou-
venirs or curios, but not bought on commission
or intended for sale, shall be admitted free of
duty."
BAGGAGE DECLARATIONS.
The law requires that every person entering
the United States shall make a declaration and
entry of personal baggage. The senior member
of a family present as a passenger may, bow-
ever, declare for the entire family.
A failure to declare articles acquired abroad
and brought in as baggage renders the articles
subject to forfeiture and the passengers liable
to criminal prosecution.
Returning residents of the United States
should use the form of declaration printed in
black; nonresidents should use the form printed
In red.
The exact number of .pieces of baggage accom-
panying a passenger must be stated in the dec-
laration, including trunks, valises, boxes, hand
bags and packages or bundles of every kind.
Forms of baggage declarations will be furnished
passengers by the steamship officers. The decla-
ration should be prepared and signed at least
one day before the expected arrival of the
vessel.
When the declaration has been prepared and
signed the coupon at the bottom of the form
must be detached and retained by the passenger
and the declaration delivered to the ship's officer
designated to receive the same. After all the
baggage and effects of the passenger have been
landed, the coupon which has been retained must
be presented at the inspector's desk and an in-
spector will then be detailed to examine the
baggage.
1'assengers must acknowledge in person on the
pior. their signatures to the declarations.
RETURNING RESIDENTS OF THE UNITED
STATES.
Returning residents of the United States must
declare all articles acquired abroad, in their
baggage or on their persons, whether by pur-
chase, by gift or otherwise, and whether dutiable
or free of duty. Exemption, however, will be
allowed by customs officers of articles aggregat-
ing not over $100 in value, if suitable for per-
sonal or household use or as souvenirs or curios,
and whether intended for the personal use of the
passengers or as gifts or presents to others, pro-
vided the articles are not bought on commission
for another person nor intended for sale. Arti-
cles so exempt from duty must, nevertheless, be
declared.
Articles belonging to one passenger cannot be
Included in the exemption of another.
Use does not exempt from duty wearing ap-
parel or other articles obtained abroad. Such
articles which have been used abroad may, how-
ever, be specifically noted on the declaration and
due allowance will be made by the appraising
officers for depreciation through wear and uso
and duties charged upon the articles at their
value in their condition as imported.
Passengers must not deduct the $100 exemption
in making out their declarations. Such dedur
tions will be made by customs officers on tlic
pier.
All wearing apparel, personal and household
effects taken out of the United States by resi-
dents shall be admitted free of duty without
regard to their value upon their identity belim
established. If remodeled, repaired or Improve.!
abroad the cost of such remodeling, repairing or
improvement must be declared, and receipted bills
for such alterations should be presented. Tin
cost of such repairs is subject to duty, but may
be included by customs officers within the $100
exemption. If the cost or value of the repairs
be not declared, the articles will be subject to
duty upon their entire value.
Citizens of the United States or persons whn
have at any time resided in this country shall
be deemed to be residents of the United States,
unless they shall have abandoned their resi-
dence in this country and acquired an actunl
bona fide residence in a foreign country. Sueli
citizens or former residents who declare as non-
residents must present satisfactory evidence to
the customs officers upon the pier that they have
given up their residence in the United State*
and have become bona fide residents of a for-
eign country.
The residence of a wife follows that of the
husband, and the residence of a minor chlH
follows that of its parents.
The examination of baggage will be facilitated
and difficulties avoided if receipted bills for for-
eign purchases be presented, and If all articles
acquired abroad be packed separately in one or
more trunks.
NONRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES.
Nonresidents of the United States must declare
all articles in their baggage or on their persons
which do not constitute wearing apparel, articles
of personal adornment, toilet articles or similar
personal effects, whether intended for their per-
sonal use or for others. They must also declare
all articles of 'wearing apparel, jewelry ainl
other articles of personal adornment, toilet arti-
cles and similar effects when ijot owned by
them or when Intended for other persona or for
HOUSEHOLD EFFECTS.
Household effects, such as furniture, table
linen, . bed linen, tableware, etc., imported as
baggage, must be declared. If shown to thf
satisfaction of the customs officers to have been
actually owned and used abroad by the passen-
ger not less than one year and not intended for
any other person nor for sale, such effects will
be admitted free of duty. If not so owned and
used abroad, duties must be paid thereon, unless
Included in the $100 exemption allowed returning
residents.
CIGARS AND CIGARETTES.
Each passenger over 18 years of age may bring
In free of duty 50 cigars or 300 cigarettes, or
smoking tobacco not exceeding 3 pounds, if for
the bona fide use of such passenger. These arti-
cles must be declared, but will be passed free by
customs officers in addition to the $100 exemption.
CONTESTED VALUATION.
Passengers dissatisfied with values placed upon
dutiable articles by the customs officers on the
pier may demand a re-examination. Application
therefor should be made to the officers in charge
immediately. If. for any reason, this course is
impracticable, the packages containing the art!
cles should be left In customs custody and appli-
cation for reappraisement made to the collector
of customs in writing within 10 days after the
original appraisement. No request for reap-
praisement can be entertained after the articles
hove been removed from customs custody.
Examination of any baggage may be pont-
poned if the passenger requests the officer tak-
ing his declaration to have the baggage sent to
the appraiser's stores.
126
ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 191$.
Currency or certified checks only can be ac-
cepted in payment of duties, but upon request
baggage will be retained on the pier for twenty-
four hours to enable the owner to secure cur-
rency or certified checks.
The offering of gratuities or bribes to customs
officers is a violation of law. Customs officers
who accept gratuities or bribes will be dismissed
from the service, and all parties concerned are
liable to criminal prosecution.
Discourtesy or incivility on the part of cus-
toms officers should be reported to the collector
at the custom house, to the deputy collector or
deputy surveyor at the pier, or to the secretary
of the treasury. Passengers should not, how-
ever, deem customs officers discourteous merely
because such officers examine baggage thoroughly
or appraise articles at a value different fiom
that stated in the passenger's declaration.
BAGGAGE FOR TRANSPORTATION IN BOND.
Baggage containing dutiable articles may be
forwarded in bond to any other port of entry
upon good reason therefor being shown.
Passengers desiring to have such baggage for-
warded in bond should so indicate on their
declarations, and also make a request therefor
upon the inspector at the time he is assigned to
the examination of their baggage. Similar action
should be taken when it is desired to have bag-
gage forwarded to another country in transit
SEALSKIN GARMENTS.
An act of congress of 1897, as amended in 1912,
expressly forbids the importation into the
United States of garments made in whole or in
part of the skins of seals taken in the waters
of the Pacific ocean. Unless the owner Is able
to establish to the satisfaction of the collector
that the garments are not prohibited by said
act, they cannot be admitted.
AIGRETTES AND OTHER PLUMAGE.
Paragraph 347 of the present tariff act con-
tains the following proviso:
"The importation of aigrettes, egret pluuus
or so-called osprey plumes, and the feathers,
quills, heads, wings, tails, skins, or parts of
skins, of wild birds, either raw or manufactured,
and not for scientific or educational purposes, is
hereby prohibited: but this provision shall not
apply to the feathers or plumes of ostriches or
to the feathers or plumes of domestic fowls of
any kind.
Any of the above-described prohibited articles
will be excluded from entry when brought in by
passengers as trimmings on. hats or other arti-
cles of wearing apparel, and will be confiscated
whether found in the baggage or on the person.
In cases where there has been no willful intent
to violate the law, such prohibited articles may
be exported to a foreign country.
WEIGHTS OF DIAMONDS
The -weight of diamonds and other precious
stones is expressed In metric carats. The unit
is the international carat of 200 milligrams,
which has been, officially adopted by the United
States and most of the countries in Europe.
Until July 1, 1913, there were three different
standards In use in the United States, although
the one generally accepted was 205.3 milligrams.
This was usually subdivided on the binary sys-
tem, the smallest subdivision being 1-64 of the
carat. The new carat is subdivided on the deci-
mal system. The avoirdupois equivalent of 200
milligrams is 3.08 grains.

DIAMOND TRADE CENTERS.
For many years Amsterdam was at the head
of the diamond industry in Europe, but of late
Antwerp has taken first place. Amsterdam
specializes in small stones and in cutting these
its workmen are unrivaled. Antwerp cuts both
large and small diamonds and has a monopoly of
the small stones, called "melees," from German
Southwest Africa. The following table of dia-
mond exports to the United States from Amster-
dam and Antwerp since 1905 will show tho
relative importance of these cities in the gem
industry:

CENTEB OF POPULATION AND MEDIAN LINES.
The center of population, according to the
bureau of the census, may be said to represent
the center of the gravity of the population. If
the surface of the United States be considered as
a rigid plane without weight, capable of sustain-
ing the population distributed thereon, individu-
als being assumed to be of equal weight, and
>>)icli, therefore, to exert a pressure on any sup-
porting pivotal point directly proportional to his
distance from the point, the pivotal point on
which the plane balances would, of course, b
its center of gravity, and this is the point re-
ferred to by the term "center of population" as
used by the census bureau in its reports.
The median point, which may be described as
the numerical center of population, is in no
sense a center of gravity. In determining the
median point distance Is not taken into acooont.

% MEDIAN LINES.
In connection with the definition of the median
point another method of presenting facts with
regard to the geographical distribution of the
population has been noted. Involving the location
of median lines. A parallel of latitude is deter-
mined which evenly divides the population so
tnat the population north of that parallel Is the
same as that south, similarly, a meridian of
longitude Is determined which divides the popu-
lation evenly as between east and west. In cal-
culating these median lines It Is necessary. In
trie case of the square degrees of latitude and
longitude which are traversed by the lines them-
selves, to assume tnat tne population Is evenlv
distributed through tnese square degrees or to
make an estimated adjustment where this Is ob-
nously not the case.
The eastern terminus of the median parallel,
according to the census of 1910, Is on the New
jersey coast near Seagirt, in Its course west
tnln line passes tnrough central New Jersey,
leaving the state near Burlington and entering
Pennsylvania a few miles north of Philadelphia,
tnonce passing t&rongn jNorrlstown and continu-
ing through southern Pennsylvania and across
tne northern extremity of West Virginia, leaving
the latter state at a point a few miles north of
Wheeling. It nearly bisects Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, crossing about ten miles north of Colum-
bus, O.; twenty-five miles north of Indianapolis,
ind., and about twenty miles north of Spring-
field, 111. Through Missouri It runs about thirty
miles south of the Iowa and Missouri line,
tnence passing tnrough Nebraska about ten mile*
north of its soutnern boundary, and across the
northern part or Colorado, passing about five
miles north of Boulder City. Its location In Utah
is about forty-live miles south of Salt Lake City,
xnere are no large towns near Its course across
tne northern part of Nevada and California. The
western terminus or tne median parallel Is on
tne Pacific coast. In Humboidt county, California,
about five miles north of Point Delgada and
twenty miles south of Cape Mendocino. the point
of continental United States extending farthest
The median meridian starts at Whlteflsh point,
on the northern peninsula of Michigan, near the
eastern end of Lake Superior, thence passing

south about twenty-five miles west of Lansing
and through Indiana about ten miles west of the
Indiana-Ohio boundary and twenty -five miles west
of Cincinnati. South of the Ohio river It bisects
Kentucky, crosses eastern Tennessee and leaves
that state twenty miles east of Chattanooga.
Through Georgia it passes close to the Georgia-
Alabama line, about two miles west of Colum-
bus, Ga., leaving the state near the Intersection
of the Alabama, Georgia and Florida boundary
unes. It then crosses tne northwestern part of
Florida and terminates in the Gulf of Mexico at
the city of Apalachicola. The following table

MOTHER TONGUE OF FOREIGN WHITE STOCK (1910).
In the- following tables, prepared by the federal
census bureau, the foreign white stock referred
to is the aggregate white population of the
United States which is foreign either by birth
or by parentage. It embraces all foreign born
whites and all native whites having one or both
parents foreign born. It must be remembered
that the foreign stock as here defined only in-
cludes the first and second generations immi-
grants and native children of immigrants and
does not include the grandchildren or great-
grandchildren of immigrants. In other words,
the figures do not include the exact relative im-
portance of the several ethnic stocks in the
total population.
The eight major mother-tongue stocks in the
United States, arranged in the order of their
importance, are shown in the following table:

THE CITY MANAGER FLAN.
[From report of the National Municipal league's committee on the commission form of eovern
ment published In the National Municipal Review for January, 1914.]
' lvl S.i eleotlve executives, long tenures are
. This permanence tends to substitute expe-
Deflnltion of city manager plan A single elec-
tive board (commission), representative, super-
visory and legislative in function, the members
giving only part of their time to municipal
work and receiving nominal salaries or none. An
appointive chief executive (city manager), hired
by the board from anywhere in the country and
holding office at the pleasure of the board. The
manager appoints and controls the remaining city
employes, subject to adequate civil service pro-
visions.
History The first city manager charter was
presented to the legislature of New York In
1911 by the Lockport board of trade. It failed
of passage. In 1912 it was adopted by the South
Carolina legislature in a special act for the
city of Sumter (population 8,109) and subse-
quently adopted by that city, going into effect
Jan. 1, 1913. Among the cities and towns that
have since adopted the city manager plan are:
Dayton, O. ; Phoenix, Ariz.; Hickory, N. C.; La
Grande, Ore. ; Terrell, Tex. : Amarillo, Tex. ;
Abilene, Kas. ; Morganton. N. C. ; Springfield,
O.; Morris, Minn., and Glencoe, 111. It was
adopted as one of three plans in a general op-
tional law bv the Ohio legislature, applicable to
any city. The Lockport plan remains the model
and the Springfield, O., charter is the best yet
(up to Jan. 1, 1914) put into effect.
ADVANTAGES CLAIMED FOR PLAN.
1. It creates a single-headed administrative
establishment instead of the five separate ad-
ministrative establishments seen in the Des
Moines plan.
2. It permits expertness in administration at
the point where it Is most valuable, namely,
at the head.
3. It permits comparative permanence in the
involvin
nenced experts for amateur and transient execu-
tives. It also makes feasible the carrying out of
projects extending over long terms of years.
4. The plan permits the summoning of an ex-
perienced man from another city, as he does not
have to be a resident at the time of his ap-
pointment.
6- The plan, while giving a single-headed ad-
ministration, abolishes the one-man power seen
in the old mayor-and-council plan. The city
manager is subject to correction ana even dis-
missal by the commission.
6. It abandons all attempts to choose admin-
istrators by popular election. It is difficult for
voters to gauge executive and administrative
ability in candidates. By removing all renuire-
ments of technical ability in elective officers,
such as commissioners, it leaves the people
free to choose candidates for their representative
character only.
7. It leaves the lines of responsibility clear.
8. It provides a basis for better discipline and
harmony.
9. It is better adapted for large cities as it
permits larger commissions and opens the way
to a broader and more diversified representation.
10. In very small cities, by having one well-
commissioners, it makes possible economy in
salaries and overhead expenses.
11. It permits ward elections or proportional
representation.
12. It makes membership in city commissions
attractive to first class citizens since the service
offers opportunities for high usefulness without
office of the chief executive, whereas in all plans | interruption of their private careers.
EARTHQUAKE IN EASTERN STATES.
Ths northeastern part of the United States and
the lower part of eastern Canada experienced a
marked earthquake on the afternoon of Feb. 10,
1914. It lasted from 15 to 30 seconds so far as
It was perceptible to man, though seismographs
recorded tremors lasting much longer. At the
Harvard geological observatory in Cambridge,
Mass., the instrument Indicated eight faint
shocks in the forenoon. In the afternoon the
maximum vibration was at 1:33:25 o'clock, and
thi- last shock recorded was at 1:40:34. Tremors
were indicated by seismographs as far south as
Washington, D. C., and as far west as St.
trail, Me.
The earthquake was noticed throughout th
greater part of New York state and seemed to
be especially marked In Albany, where pictures
were shaken from the walls in the capitol. In
New York city the quaking lasted from i:S5:l
to 1:37:30. No damage was reported from any
part of the district affected, though the seismic
disturbance was greater than any other recorded
in that part of the country.
The last previous earthquake felt in New York
was that which partly destroyed Charleston,
S. C.. in 1886. There was also a general dis-
turbance over the eastern and northeastern states
in 1884.

the war of the allied states against Turkey, by
tha war between the allies themselves, by Rou-
manian threats against Bulgaria, by Turkey's at-
tack on Bulgaria when the latter was pressed by
the allies and by various treaties and delimiting
commissions. The following figures are from the
Geographical Journal of the -Royal Geographical

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSIKATE MAYOR MITCHEL.
Michael P. Mahoney, a demented old black-
smith, tried to km John P. Mitchel. mayor
of New York city, by shooting him with a re-
volver Friday afternoon, April 17, 1914. The
ballet missed its mark b'y Inches only and hit
Frank L. Polk, the corporation counsel, in the
chin. Inflicting a serious but not fatal injury.
The mayor, Mr. Polk and George V. Mullan.
tax commissioner, were in an automobile in
City Hall park at 1:15 p. m., and Arthur Woods,
police commissioner, was about to step into the
machine to go with the party to lunch when
Mahoney approached from behind and fired at
Mr. Mitchel. The aim was poor, but so close
waa the weapon to the mayor that the side of
his face was slightly powder-burned. Mr. Mul-
lan's collar, neck and cheek were also burned,
but the only one seriously hurt was Mr. Polk.
Mahoney was easily overpowered by George J.
Neun. the chauffeur, and Commissioner woods,
and turned over to a policeman, who took him
to the Tombs. There it was loarned that he
was 72 years old and a native of Ireland. Ex-
amination of his lodgings resulted in the finding
of letters written in a rambling and disjointed
fashion, but showing that he was a disappointed
otflceseeker and that he had a fancied grievance
against the mayor for his "extravagance." It
also appeared that he was agitated at the at-
tempt to get Col. Goethals, the Panama canal
engineer, to take the police commlssionershlp.
