| J}l tens U)ill Come Back
And the Cause of Their Exodus at the
< Present Time
By T V. Powderly, ;
'1 Chief of the Division of Information, Bureau of ; I
Immigration. •^|/***W^^****lJ
EVERAL causes combine to bring about the eastward march
of the aliens now leaving us. Every year a great number
of aliens return to their homes for the winter. The rail
roads, particularly in the North, East and West, lay off
men engaged in outdoor work and, following this, others
are thrown out of employment. These men find it desir
able to return to their old homes for the winter. They
have the opportunity to visit their friends and relatives,
and can live much cheaper there during the winter than
here, for food and lodging are cheaper and the climate is not so severe.
In other years the exodus began the latter part of October and continued
up to Christmas, but this season the rush was accentuated by the financial
flurry. Those who imagine that our aliens do not read are somewhat in er
ror, for those who cannot read have others to read to them, and they keep
a sharp eye upon the trend of events in this country, so that when the pa
pers announced under scare head lines that things were going wrong, these
men, not trained to analyze the statements made, took alarm and quite a
number more went away than would have gone in former years.
Another cause is to be found in the fact that every four years, preceding
the Presidential election, there is a tendency eastward on the part of the al
iens. They hear so much said about the uncertainty of Presidential year that
they prefer to take no chances and go home early.
There is still another cause for the return of Italians to their native land.
It is estimated that about $106,000,000 will be expended in Italy in bringing
■ the railways up to a proper standard of efficiency, and Italy is calling her
sons who have learned how to make good railroads in this country back to
their old homes.
There is more work to do in this country than ever before; there is a
necessity for more men and women to do it, and the first months of next
year will see a return of aliens who will be able to find remunerative emploj
ment in this country.
I How the Sun Has Puzzled I
L Astronomers |
X By Waldemar Kaempffert. Cl
HE great ball of fire which we call the sun is not really the
sun. No one has ever seen the sun. A series of concen
tric shells envelop a nucleus of which we know absolute
ly nothing except that it must be almost infinitely hott
than the fiercest furnace, and that it must amount to mo
than nine-tenths of the solar mass. That nucleus is the
real sun, forever hidden from us. The outermost of the
enveloping shells is about five thousand miles thick, and is
called the “chromosphere.” It is a gaseous flood, tinted
vunvu , _ -i ikni J - cniirfq im
with the scarlet glare of hydrogen, and so furiously act l v e th at it spurts lip
great tongue^of glowing gas (“prominences”) to a height of t ho “ s ^ s
miles. Time was when this agitated sea of crimson fire could be seen to
vantage only during an eclipse; now special instruments are used which en
able astronomers to study it in the full glare of the sun. Beyond the
sphere, far beyond the prominences even, lies the nebulous pallid corona
visible only during the vanishing moments of a total eclipse ^egating *
more than seven days in a century. No one has e jer satisfactorily explained
how the highly attenuated matter composing both the prominences and t
corona is supported without falling back into the sun under the pill of solar
gravitation. Now that Arrhenius has cosmically applied the effects of light
’"Z: - is’ K 2 for such .. ths “p™,-
inences” on the sun is better comprehended when we fully understand how
relentlessly powerful is the grip of solar gravitation. If the sun were a hab
itable glooeai^l you could transport yourself to its surface, you would find
assuming that y hundred pounds. Baseball could be played in
a^ar^drawing room; for there would be some difficulty in throwing a ball
more thJn thirty feet. Tennis would be degraded to a form of outdoor pmg-
X From these considerations it is plain that gravitation on the sun would
sTto prevent the formation of any lambent streamers and to pull down to
its surface masses of any size.— Harper s Magazine.

The
American Accent
J Sy EHa. Hepworth Dixon. T
T last our good American friends have acknowledged that it
is they and not ourselves, who have the "accent.” This is
a great step toward improving the American language, for
up to now the New Yorker, the Bostonian, and the San
Franciscan were at one in assuring the traveling Islander
that his speech was spoiled by his “English accent." The
Islander was too well bred, as a rule, to betray any emotion
or astonishment at this accusation, but he thought a lot.
^Perhaps his thought was communicated to certain pundits
on the other side for an American Speech Reform Association has just been
started with the laudable intention of teaching young America to speak the
language of England, instead of the weird and complicated tongue which is
he Sult of the salad of races and nationalities thrown hodge-podge on
Sthl American continent. Already the society has issued a pamphlet im
to the Amen splash your words one into each other, not
J* 10 ™! th&h the nose with your mouth tight shut,” and “not to use the
same DhraS a thousand times a day.” Even by employing these simple ex-
Snts the New Yorker might make himself understood by a Londoner
to the trouble of learning Esperanto. As for the astute Amer
iTa^glrl she has long seen the expediency of approximating her speech to
our own. —London Sketch.
Ten Thousand
Telegraphers

•OUTHERN TELEGRAPH SCHOOL
CONTRACTS TO furnish TO
FURNISH SEVERAL HUN-
DRED OF THAT NUM-
BER.
NEWNAN’S SCHOOL TO THE
FRONT.
Ths Southern Is the South’s Foremost
Telegraph School and One of the
Best in the United States.
Professor F. P. Johnson of the
Southern Telegraph School was in At
lanta Thursday to meet several prom
inent railroad officials.
The new law that requires telegraph
companies to put on a man tor every
nine hours work will go into effect next
January and it is estimated that 10,-
000 men will be needed to satisfy the
demand in the south and west.
Professor Johnson agreed to furnish
and get ready 300> of this number. The
salaries will run from fifty to one hun
dred dollars per month. Many of these
positions can be filled by ladies and i
it is thought a great many girls will
turn their attention to telegraphy in- i
stead of stenography as the work is ’
much lighter and the pay much bet- j
ter.
As a result of this unusual contract
to furnish so many operators in so
short a time, Professor Bowden and ;
Johnson are making a splendid propo
sition to all who wish to work for a
good salary another year. The regular
fifty-five dollar scholarship that has
never been cut down since the school
was established several years ago Is
now being offered at S3O for life schol
arship, Including all books, stationery
anj positions guaranteed.
New students are coming in nearly
every day and it seems now that Pro
fessors Bowden and Johnson will fill
their contract to furnish the 300 oper
ators to one road. Other roads are
wanting similar contracts. The rail
roads recognize the splendid equip
ment of this school and ^ant all the ;
students It turns out. Several students '
left this week for good jobs. — New

New Problem of Watchmakers.
H. C. Carpenter, a representative of .
a watch company of South Bend, Ind., ,
held up a samp’e watch as he stood .
in his room at the Hotel Baltimore ;
yesterday. I ]
“And now rhe jewellers have a new ,
job—that of inventing something that ■ ■
will make watches used in skyscrap- ;
ers keep correct time." he said. “Do
not suppose you knew it. but the per- ,
pendicular steel construction of these ' ,
high buildings forms a magnet that ; i
acts on 'he wheels of the watches, ac- ! '
celerating or retarding the balance i
wheel. That's why so many watches : i
in skyscrapers won’t keep the correct : <
time. Now the manufacturers must ■ ’
remedy that de'ect —if it’s possible.”— ] 1

Baking Powder Biscuits.
To one quart of flour add two
rounding teaspoonfuls of baking pow
der and a half a teaspoonful of salt;
sift twice. Rub in quickly and thor
oughly one rounding tablespoonful
of shortening. Add a cupful and a
half of milk slowly; take the mixture
out on the board, roll out half an
inch in thickness, cut with a small
round cutter, and place the biscuits
in a baking-pan. Brush the top of
each biscuit with milk, and bake in a
quick oven, 360 degrees Fahrenheit,
for twenty minutes. These should
be brown top and bottom, the sides
crusted, but of a lighter color. Have
just as little centre as possible. The
biscuits must be light, but simply two
crusts. Soft doughs produce indi
gestion.—Mrs. Rorer.
Canning Eggs.
Cracked or chipped eggs are not
allowed to spoil in Kansas, but are
preserved by canning. During the
process of “candling” or sorting with
regard to size, freshness and cleanli
ness, many broken eggs are found.
These would keep in cold weather,
but in summer time soon spoil. The
canning process consists in breaking
the eggs into carefully cleaned tin
। cans, then placing the cans in freez-
I ers, where the eggs are frozen in a
1 solid mass, after which they are
placed in cold storage. The cans
are of ten-pound capacity, each hold
ing about twelve dozen eggs. Some
cans contain only whites others
• yolks only, and others both whites
and yolks. Bakeries and ice cream
factories are large consumers of
qanned eggs.—Popular Mechanics.
Shrimp Toast.
Remove the shrimps from a small
can, put them in a colander and let
the water run through them until
every particle of the liquid in the
can has been removed. Let them
stand for an hour, then wash again
and remove all the black veins. Melt
a tablespoonful of butter in a sauce
pan and heat the shrimps in this;
take them out and put them in a hot
dish while a sauce is being prepared.
Into the dish from which the
shrimps were taken put one cupful
of milk, add a teaspoonful of butter,
a little salt and pepper and four well
beaten eggs. Stir until the mass is
creamy, then have ready some slices
of toasted bread cut into fanciful
shapes. Arrange the hot shrimps on
these, pour over them the eggs and
serve at once. The slices of toast
should be freed from all crusts and
well buttered. —Emilie Fox.
^NTS FOR,. THE H
HousekeeperJ
A few cloves added to coffee while
roasting it will give it a good aroma.
Paint brushes can be cleaned by
washing in hot soda water and soft
soap.
A brush dipped in salt water
should be used in cleaning bamboo
furniture.
If salt is thrown over the carpet
before sweeping it will clean the car
pet and make it easier to sweep.
By having an orange and a small
onion inside the duck while roasting
its flavor is said to be improved.
Acid drink may be made by dissolv
ing one tablespoonful of cream of tar
tar in one pint of water. Sweeten to
taste.
The bent point of a sewing ma
chine needle may be sharpened on a
whetstone and need not be dis
carded.
Keep sponges clean by washing
them now and then in soda, carefully
rinsing out all the powder with pure
cold water.
The cut side of a lemon rubbed
over a dish upon which fish has been
served promptly removes the disa
greeable odor.
Put a small bag of talcum powder
in a box with a cover, and keep in
the workbox to rub on the fingers
when they perspire.
If table silver be washed with hot
water and soap with occasionally a
little ammonia, it can be kept bright
without powder or paste.
If when sewing on dark fabric the
needle should become unthreaded,
slip a piece of white goods under
neath and you readily can see the
eye.
Needles and pins will never rust in
a cushion filled with coffee grounds.
Pour the coffee from the grounds and
rinse them in cold water. Let them
dry thoroughly before using.
When once moths have got into
a carpet, neither camphor nor to
bacco will stop them. The only way
is to take a damp towel, spread it
out upon the carpet, and iron it dry
with a hot iron. Most ironing should
be done in those portions of the car
pet that do not take the chief wear
of the room. The heat and steam
will be found to destroy the worms
and eggs.
A convenient cleaner for use on
clothes may be made of cheesecloth
fashioned into a bag three inches
square. Fill the bag with five cents’
worth of soap bark and sew up end.
When wanted for use,_ place the bag
in a basin of warm water and use as
a sponge on the article to be cleaned,
wiping with a dry cloth. After using,
dry the bag and it will be ready for
another time.
