Following is the requirement made by the United States Indian Service : "Hereatfer every Indian who can not write his name will lie required to sign all checks, receipts on annuity or other rolls, and all other official pa pers, and to endorse all checks or war rants covering Indian money by mak ing an imprint of the ball of the right thumb, or the left in case of the loss of the right. The imprint must be clear and distinct, showing the central whorl and striations, and such thumb mark signature must te '.witnessed by an employe of the office or by ono of the leading men of the tribe who can write. If an Indian is not living with his tribe his thumb mark signature must be witnessed by the posmtaster of the place where he resides. These thumb marks are to be used as evi dence in cases where question arises as to the genuineness of signatures, and this requirement is to be strictly en forced. Any one who cashes an Indian's check orwarrant. or a superintendent who accepts a receipt of any kind, signed by mark without imprint, does so at his own risk,. All endorsements, signatures and marks of payee and witnesses must be in ink. You will find that almost invariably the party will try to make an impres sion of the extreme end of the thumb and thumb nail. This will not do. The ball center or whole of the thumb must be perfectly impressed on the paper. I believe in case of aged per sons it will often he impossible to get a clear and distinct impression of the striations. but in younger persons it is easily possible, if the pad is too wet or too dry. When the pud becomes somewhat dry, sometimes a few drops of water will produce good results. In case of a new pud. care should be tak en not to press the thumb too hard on the pad. On a somewhat dry pad, the thumb should l pressed on the pad sereval times to get enough ink. In case of endorsement of a check or warrant, the usaul requirement of two witnesses with their post office ad dresses should be adhered to. and, further, that nothing in this circular shall be considered as dispensing with the usual requirements in such cases not inconisstent with said circular.

While this is true enough in a sense, many things really happen before we get the light. And the light is not instantaneous at all, even if it does look so. The first thing accomplished in turn ing the switch is to close the circuit so that the electric current can flow read ily through the wires. The electrical energy rushes idong the surface of the insulated copper wires at the terrific speed of 180.000 miles a second. If these wires were not properly insulat ed the electricity would tend to leuk off the wire to some gosl conductor at the first opportunity, as it is ever seek ing the shortest path through its cir cuit. When this energy, rushing at a terrific pace reaches the electric, lamp it passes readily enough through the small iron and platinum wires into the bulb where it meets with its first re sistance. In its paths stand tiny loops of a fine metallic wire which is not a good conductor of electricity. With all the pressure behind it the electrical energy tries to surmount this obstacle in its path. It pushes and forces its way through the obstruction and this requires a tremendous amount of wjrk, just the same as it would take a tre mendous amount of work for a man to climb the face of a cliff. This work consumes the electrical energy, just as it would consume mechanical energy or human energy, and the energy thus consumed is not really consumed or destroyed - for nature never totally de stroys anything but changes it into heat. As the current forces its way through the fine wire the electrical en ergy is rapidly changed into heat und this heat quickly brings the wire to a white glow, when by a strange coinci dence, it is a fairly good conductor. While the light seems instantaneous it is only because it is too quick for the eye. In reality the wire first gets warm, then hot, then a dull cherry red and finally this red fades, as it gets hotter, to a white hot glow which is maintained as long as the current is turned on. The heat resultant from this process is rapidly dissipated into the air. Washington. May 8. After lnjvlnjt been out of tho pubic eye for nm time, tho Cunningham-Alaska coal land claims, which brought alnnit the HHtlinger-rinrhot Congressional Inves tigation today approached their deter mination. Attorneys for the Cunning ham claimant apjieared to place their claims before Secretary of Interior Fisher, Land Commissioner Dennett and me mi in of the Hoard of I, aw Re view of the General Land Office. It is expected the hearing will conclude tomorrow, K. C. Hughes, of Seattle, and John ! Cray, of Wallace, Idaho, are representing the claimants. Com missioner Dennett is charged with handing down the decision. Secretary Fisher determined to hit at the hear ing, however, so that if an npoal is made to him, time anil exjiense may be Jsaved. The Cunningham coal land claims, 33 in number, take their name from Clarence Cunningham, of Washington, who, in 11H17, discovered the coal later filed u-n by himnelf and 32 others. Opposition to the final granting of the claims was due to the charge that there was a conspiracy to defraud the Government. Mr. Hughes, arguing for the claim ants, asserted that as they had paid the purchsae price of the land and held receipts from the Government for the money, thiswas equivalent to the act ual delivery of patent rights. Accord ing to the Alaska coal land law of 190-1. which he declared was complete in it self, as soon as a claimant had staked off his land and hail entered ii in the register's office, he had a right to make contracts to sell such lands, pro vided the claimant was not legally disqualified. ! Asked by Secretary Fisher whether he had read the brief presented in behalf of Clifford l'inchot in connection with the charges m the case. Mr. 1 1 tidies declared that th's brief was only partly correct. He did not believe there h.el been intentional deceit, but asserted the facts had been 'shuffled." He did not explain in what particular the brief was only partly correct. : BOGUS S20 PIECES IN CIRCULATION San Francisco, May 9. Counterfeit $20 gold peices, so clever in exectution as almost to defy detection, have been spread profusely over San Francisco and other cities of the I'acific coast, according to information given by the federal authorities this week. 2 The spurious gold pieces appear to much like the genuine that they will deceive even the most scrutinoiis, un less examined very closely. The date on the output is IvsX, and it will be found on close observance that the metal is a trifle light. The ring is almost as good as in the legiti mate coins, though to the experienced ear it will seem a trifle "brassy." Around the design and inscription a slightly blurred appearance is evident, convincing the authorities that the coin has been cast. A considerable ! amount of copper is used in making ; the bogus coin, and much gold has ' been employed in completing it. So well executed are the pieces that Postmaster Arthur Fisk has issued a warning to all the employes ami clerks of the local postoflices to examine carefully every $20 geld piece that comes undetr their eye. It is believed that the gang has cir culated the ouput in .several western states and will soon be run to cover by Chief Operative Moffitt and his opera tives, who are noted for their success in this line. In the meantime all mer chants of San Francisco are especially cautioned by the authorities to be on the lookout for bogus gold pieces. The Man of 50 An editor of a daily paper, when asked why he did not employ men over fifty he replied :"Although a man may do just as much work after this age, he takes himself too seriously." He did not like to have people around him from whom the youthful spirit had evaporated. He wanted optimism men in whom hope was large. He wanted the exuberance, the enthusiasm and the zest which usually belongs to younger men. It is not so much the question of j years as it is a question of the "loss of buoyancy, of hopefulness, of that ex uberance which is characteristic of young life. If a man has been good to himself in his earlier years, if he has taken good care of himself, and has not squeezed out all the juices of his youthful nature, if he has not sapp ed his vitality by unscientific living, if he has practiced plain living and high thinking, has conserved his energy, his life force, has not over strained his resources, he is young at almost any age. It is the burned out, the spent man that is not wanted.
