leys awaic the ax, the spade, the plow

farmers and gardeners. And yet this
virgin 'empire remains virtually land
locked for nearly 1,000 miles along Its
Pacific coast. ' For a distance of ueur-
ly 110 miles from tlio'coast Inland the
country Is so rugged tnat It Is almost
as cheap to build a railroad as a wagon
road. The great river system of this
empire flows northward Into seas tee
locked for seven months of tbe year.
The heart of this wonderland Is closed
to all tbe great possible channels of
commerce except railroads, which must

The Earth's Atmosphsre.
One would hardly think of looking
to the moon for Information about the
height of the earth's atmosphere.' Yet
It is In just that way evidence has
been obtained that tbe atmosphere
extends much higher than was for a
long time assumed.
Observations of lunar eclipses made
at Lord Rosse's observatory lu Ireland
have shown that tbe quantity of beat
derived from tbe moon which heat Is,
of course, merely reflected sun heat,
Just as moonlight is only reflected sun
light begins perceptibly to diminish
several minutes before the shadow of
tbe earth reaches the moon.
The Inference is that tbe earth's at
mosphere partly cuts off tbe sun's heat
as it comes between the moon aud tbe
sun abead of the edgo of the solid
earth, and calculations based on the
length of time during which the loss
of heat from the moon Is felt before
the eclipse begins Indicate that our
atmosphere reaches a height of at
least 190 miles.

STATE EXAMINER WILL BE
PRACTICALLY STATE AUDITOR
SALEM, Or., Jan. 2. Since the con
stitntiiiu prevents the creation of a
state auditor, this litt.e difficulty is
surmounted by the bill of Senator Not
tingham creating a state examiner.
Tbe state examiner practically, a
tate auditor, the elref difference be
ing in the title. Uudet the provisions
of the measure creating the state ex-
aoiiuer, the officer's duties aru many, f
uue 01 me most important is to sue
that the state is uot payuig inure than
the market price to; u supplies, und
auothcr duty is to sweep duwu ou au
office at least oure a year to check up,
wiinout giving tuo ciumuIs wurniug.
The state examiner is also to imiuc,u
ruto a uniform system of bookkeeping,
which state officers niubt adept, uud it'
uecessury ho must instruct them iu the
system.

NEW DESKS PUT IN TOR
USE OF LAWMAKERS
SALEM. Or., Jan. 20. Among the
leficiencies in prospect for report, to
the legislature during the present ses
sion is one in the fund of $25,000 ap
propriated by the last session for im
provements to (lie Capitol building nnd
grounds, and the principal item is the
bill for the new desks and chairs for
the senate chamber, vthieh have just
irrived and are being substituted for
tho old furniture.
These desks are of mahogany, and
since the former le.;r-'ature failed to
include in the act prov.sion for a pres
ident s desk and a desk for the clerks
t' the senale of a like character, the
ontrast between the now, dark ma
hogany desks and tho old, yellow pres
ident 's and clerks' desk ft and other f in
nishiugs and decora' ions of tho cham-
is very striking. H is therefore
not unlikely that the present legisla
ture will make additional provisions
for Hie senate ehainW r to create a
more harmonious off-el
The new desks, which were ordered
bv a special com in it t o of hold-over
leuators, cost about .f' each and the
total cost will approximate about
sfeJOOO. No allowance was made in the
appropriation for thi's.- desks, however,
and there will he a deficiency of over
$20011 in hi fund, wh-io some of the
provisions had to be cut out on account
of its insufficiency.
