DENMARK ONCE A POWER, tention for a new plan of mail pay, so far as the senate is concerned, and the bill will doubtless become law through lack of opposition. The rail roads 1rave been educated. Their former bogey, the interestate com merce commission, whose creation they resisted so vigorously, has be come their refuge in time of trouble. When the post office department pro posed to pay for mail carriage by space instead of by weight, the rail roads, despairing of securing a just compensation either by the new scheme or by the old, which had been tried and found wanting, begged con gress to leave the question of pay ment to their new friend, the inter state commerce commission, and the senate has so voted. The fight will now be taken to the house, which has approved the space system advocated by the postoffice de partment But the house is not like- Several University men will - address the conference, among them, President P.

Whtn the Tiny Kingdom Conquarad and Ruled Great Britain. Among the little nations of Europe there is one that is seldom mentioned, except when some vessel contrives to thread its dangerous way through the Skagerrack and Cattegat Then Den mark comes into the daily- news. Did you know that Great Britain' was once ruled from the capital of this tiny and remote kingdom? It has been almost 900 years since the stalwart Canute completed the conquest of England, expelling both the Celtic and the Saxon rulers of the British Isles. When he bad completed his conquest and soothed the feelings of his new subjects by marrying the widow of their former king be added Norway to bis crown possessions. One of bis successors ruled over the whole of the Scandinavian peninsula and a large section of what is now German and Russian territory, surrounding the Baltic sea. Today Denmark dips one band in the icy waters of the north and the other in the blue gulf stream, for she rules not only Iceland and Greenland, but Santa Cruz, St. Thomas and St John, known as the Danish West Indies. From the earliest times, when Charle magne established the buffer state. known as the Danish Mark, on his northern frontier, the Danes have been a powerful seafaring people, emerging from piracy into legitimate commerce.

The most exciting Job that can- be held In the United Kingdom is that of king's messenger. Ho is charged with the delicate and in war time dnnger ous duty of carrying Important state papers In cases when it would be ei ther unwise or Impossible to use the telegraph or the postal service. During war the king's messenger has nearly as difficult a tusk as has the dispatch rider, wbo is actually at the front. lie must be conlinunlly on pie lookout for spies, and it is quite within tbo probabilities that the steamer on which he Is traveling may be stopped by an enemy vessel and bis valuable papers tuken from him. .' Owing to tlie fact that they wear a badge consisting of a silver greyhound surmounted by a crown, king's mes sengers are nicknamed "silver grey hounds," and Indeed they often have to imitate that breed of dog in swift ness and sureness of scent. To qualify for a meB8engershlp many things are needed. The candidate must be a man of first rate education, of excellent family and a good linguist. j. Considering the qualifications re quired, the salaries of tho "sliver grey hounds" are by no means large. The foreign service messengers receive re muneration ranging from $1,250 to $2,. 000 a year, while those employed on home service get from $050 to $1,225 a year.

The story under produc tion is an unusual mining- ur..ma ur Lanier Bartlett. Those who accom Rnrlmr nnil Keenan on the trip included Enid Markey, who is playing the big feminine role, KODert iiimun, J P. Lockney, Leo Willis, J. H. Nobel, Assistant Director Elliot Howe and Ciimeraman Charles Kauffnvvn. The first thrill was furnished by an accident to one of the burro.5. Assistant-Director Howe was astride the an imal and was preceding slowly up the 'winding grade when it missed its foot ing and toppled ever the edge. Howe jumped to safety in time, but the burro continued to roll down the mountainside for a distance of 300 'feet. Then while the other members of the company watched in awe Howe ,iDoo,ioi nff-pr his mount, recovered it and led it back to the trail. Farther up the trail an almost in surmountable obstacle presented itself in the 'shape of a boulder which weighed, according to Barker's esti mate, more than three tons. It had rolled from a higher point and em bedded itself firmly in the trail. The combined strength of the men in the party was required to dislodge the obstruction. Arriving at the summit, which is a distance of seven and a half mibs from the base, Barker and his aids 'went to work on the construction of a cabin for use in tho story. T".ough eight men contributed help to the work, it required an entire day. In all Barker filmed 147 scenes dur ing the stay on the mountain-top. was necessary. Despite his severe in juries, it was stated at the hospital last evening that his chances for re covery are very favorable. Shortly after the accident William. Green of Haines, en route to Baker fin his car, passed the scene. The un fortunate young man was taken into the auto and a hurried trip made to the hospital. The injured man's parents are now in Missouri, having been on a several weeks' auto tour. They were noti fied by wire of their son's accident and are expected to return home at once.
