The American Sheep Breeder, of recent date, says: A brooding, dreadful calamity hov ers over our sheep industry according to some of our sheep prophets. After the war they see wool tumbling down by the shilling. Europe will cry for more wool. Hundreds of factories now idle will gobble up the supply. Remember that Germany, France, Italy, Austria and other nations are using little wool today. They cannot in the very nature of things. Yet there is no surplus. There are no idle stocks save a small quantity Ger many has bought in South America, which cannot be shipped and consid erable of this is being offered by the Germans themselves who seem quite willing to take the present fine margin of profit. The world's clip is reduced. Sheep stock in most every country has declined. Reconstruction in Eu rope means busy spindles. Whoever heard of cheap anything after a war? The cost of living is higher In every land. With millions of workers killed how can European labor be cheaper? Wages will soar. They muBt Tariff or no tariff, this awful slump In wool will not happen. Mutton! This war has no influence on the market We are exporting no mutton. We are eat ing more mutton and our supply is less. There is no logic in the argu ments advanced by these pessimistic sheep prophets. In fact they have no arguments. Their statements are gen eral, not specific, If's bosh all bosh. Keep your sheep.

SI 1 DM Man Runs Thirteenth In List of 41 Candidates, Then Other Things Happen. Edward J. Hecker. printer and poli tician of Irvington, is now entertain ing the Idea that he may be unlucky. In fact, according to his own calcu lations, he has every right to believe that primaries are not the kind of days to bring luck to certain residents of Irvington. When the race was on for the pri maries, Becker's name was placed In the list of aspiring representatives, and while Mr. Hecker made no active canvass, he relied on the belief that he was to be one of the "select." Just how and why he was crowded out of his seat Is another story, but Hecker believes it was an omen ot bad luck when he ran thirteenth among 41 can didates, while there were only ten to be pomlnated. First in the list of bad luck Incidents appears the number "13" In the po litical race; second, an unfriendly wind destroyed a sign over his Irving ton print shop and the sign was valued at $50; third, a Gordon foot press was practically ruined while being operat ed by a helper in Hecker's office and the riress was valued at $300: and last, but not least, a typographical er ror in some printing work, in which the numerals 1915 appeared Instead of 1916, caused Hecker to lost $25 on a printing Job. And each of the bad luck Incidents took place on primary day! Indianapolis News.

Mr. Roosevelt has communicated to the American and the Royal Geograph ical societies information received by him from Brazil concerning recent ex plorations in the drainage basin of the Rio Theodoro, the scene of his own explorations. An expedition was sent out about a year ago, under Lieutenant de Souza, to explore the Rio Ananas, or Pineapple river, which now proves to be identical with the Cardosa, of Roosevelt's maps, emptying into the Theodoro in 10 degrees 68 minutes S. It is one of the headwater branches of the Theodoro, but not the major trlb utary that it had been thought to be. The expedition was a disastrous one. After suffering from shortness of,,food and Illness, the party was attacked by Indians, and the leader was drowned after being wounded with arrows. The party became scattered, and apparent ly only three of the ten camaradas who had started with de Souza, finally reached the Duvida, and ultimately got back to civilization. Scientific American. Douglas Fir Superior to Baltic Timber.! University of Oregon, Eugene. Under tests conducted by the Great1 Eastern Railway company of England, ! Douglas fir has markedly surpassed i Baltio timber in both compression and ; tension. Wnder compression the Douglas fir; Btood 695 pounds per square inch and the Baltic timber 3950 per square inch. Tests in tension were even more fav orable for Douglas fir. It took ll,4u pounds to pull apart a stick of Doug las fir for a cross section of one square inch, whereas Just half that pound age sufficed to pull apart Baltic timber. The tests were applied to determine the relative suitability of these two woods for railway ties. The figures were received by me aeparimeut ui commercial and industrial service of the University of Oregon from the De partment of Commerce. Other figures received by the de partment show that prices of lumber in Italy are three times as high for the consumer as they were before the war. Austria's requirements of resinous wood in an average year have been about 125,000,000 cu. ft, of which about 77 per cent came from Austria Hungary and 12 per cent from the United States. Imports from Austria have ceased, imports have been stop ped from Roumania, and Russia, Nor way, Sweden and Switzerland are un able to supply the demand. The Ital ians are endeavoring to meet the situ ation by extraordinary cuttings at home, and of course by limitation of consumption. The University school of commerce is in Dosition of information as to the increased demand that will be made for lumber by countries now at war as soon as the reconstruction period begins. This Is especially true of Bel gium and France. In fact the demand already exists and tne greatest od stacle to large shipments is scarcity of tonnage. The department has also gathered considerable additional lnior matlon on the market for box shooks. I COLVILLE.

Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and tney become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing an me body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick neadacne, uizzy Bpeus; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges.

An ingenious method of getting out set of blue prints quickly has re cently been proposed, which appears decidedly useful where the scale of the drawings is large enougn ana where too mucb detail is not required. A sheet of carbon paper is laid face up on the drawing table, and over it is placed a sheet of tough tissue pa per, upon which the drawing Is made in pencil. It will be seen that the car bin backing of the drawing makes It strong enough to enable a blue print to be made at once, without the delay of having to trace tbe drawing over with Ink. Even when the carbon pa per cannot be applied when tbe orig inal drawing is made, u can De useu subsequently with advantage, if the drawing is mado on the tissue paper, as it requires less time to go over the lines with a pencil than with Ink.
