organisation of republic* of Am-
erica devoted con ft J to tbe dut
co**ion of matter* of commerce
and prooperity, while tbe bullr
of tbe commerce of booth Am
eric* before ibe w*r was with
Europe ood most of our inter-
course went by w*y of tbe East
ern Hemisphere. Hut the war
ha* changed all that. With Eu-
ropean commerce paralyzed, tbe
nation* of both North *nd Sooth
America found themselves
thrown upon each other's re-
sources. But even more impor-
tant was tbe threatening danger
that tbe operations of tbe pow-
ers at war would infringe upon
tbe rights of our hemisphere
Therefore, tbe action of the gov-
erning board of the I'an-Ameri-
can union, sanctioned by each ot
tbe nations of this hemisphere,
in serving notice upon the world
that America would stand as a
nation against violations of its
neutrality, has been of the high-
est significance.
Already tbe effects of the ac-
tion of the Pan-American union
have been felt in halting tbe en-
croachments of the belligerents
upon American neutrality. In
fact, it is doubtful whether even
formal definitions of such rights
will go farther toward their
maintenance than tbe formal as-
sertion already made that the
nations of this hemisphere will
stand as a unit for their protec
tion.
The Pan-American union is an
official organization made up of
the twenty-one republics of the
American continent. Its office
is in Washington and its execu-
tive officer is John Barrett, with
tne title of director general of
the Pan American union. The
governing board which controls
its activities is composed of tbe
diplomatic representatives at
Washington of each of these na-
lions, with the secretary of
state of the United States as its
chairman. Its home is in a
beautiful white marble palace
which cost $1,000,000, of which
Andrew Carnegie gave $750,000
and the various governments
gave $-50,000.

DESERTS NO LONGER KNOWN
How Modern Man Ha* Succewfully
Removed Nature** Obetaclea
to Progreae.
Nature has set up four kind* of bar-
riers to man s conquest of the earth—
mountains, forests, deserts, rivers, *c
exchange remarks The first he can-
not remove, so he bores holes through
them for railways. The second he
has, most unwisely, largely cleared
away altogether. The third he is be-
ginning to treat like the forests. The
fourth he is shifting to suit his pur-
po;es and to regulate their flow at
wilL --
Man flies now over ail boundaries.
He cuts through isthmuses to remove
the barriers between tbe seas.
Into the deserts man sends rail-
roads, telegraph lines, irrigation en-
gineers. The "Great American Des-
ert" marked upon the atlases of our
fathers has ceased to exist The vast -
“desert" of northwestern Canada has
become a boundless prairie of waving
wheat. The Landes of Gascony are
now much more than half covered
with pine trees. In 1902, 22,000 square
miles of the Algerian desert had been
made fruitful by artesian wells. The
“Australian desert" is rapidly being
irrigated and turned into grazing
land. Almost 70,000 square miles of
■desert" in India has been reclaimed.
Sir William Willcocks is now engaged
in reclaiming 19,000 square miles of
the delta of the Tigris and Euphrates
and more than 4.000 square miles of
the Gezireh plain between the Blue
and White Nile are being transformed
into cotton plantations.
Thus is man, by obliterating natural
barriers, improving upon nature.

Wanted a Hook Cigar.
He was a seedy-looking fellow-, al-
though he looked as if he had the
virtues of thrift and industry. He
had just finished paying his tax bill
and was standing in the corridor out-
side of the tax department. His curi-
ous manner in looking around induced
a clerk to inquire whether he could
be of service. The seedy-looking indi-
vidual hesitated, but apparently gath-
Ing up courage confided that he heard
and read in the newspapers consider-
able concerning City Collector Hook
and his distribution of cigars.
"I have been anxious to see one of
those cigars for a long time,” said tbe
taxpayer confidingly. "I want one for
a souvenir.”
The clerk obligingly walked into the
collector's office, but he was out.
“I’ll come back in a day or two,”
said the seedy gentleman as he made
for the door. “That cigar will be
worth a whole lot to me.”—Baltimore

Carbon From Gas.
Engineers have long been trying to
discover an economical way of produc-
ing carbon from natural gas. Under
the methods now in use there is such
an enormous waste of gas that the
process is too expensive. Harry Bea-
com of Wilsonburg, Harrison County.
W. Ya.. has been studying this matter
scientifically and experimentally for
many years, and now he announces
that he has found a method whereby
he produces a black without any ash
and far superior to that made under
the older processes, and whereby th*
waste of gas is almost entirely elind-
