QUEEN CONCEPTION OF GEOG-
RAPHY OF AMERICA REVEALED
IN EARLY PUBLICATIONS.
Special Telegram to The Qxpiraa.
AUSTIN, Tex., l>e<*. 13.—Mrs. Mattie
Austin Hatcher, archivist of the I Diversity
of Texas, declares that the university has
one of the most comprehensive map col-
lections to be found in the State for the
early period of Texas history. One of the
oldest of the collection is the map pub-
lished In 1777 in Fleet Street, Loudon,
designated as a "New and Correct Map
of North America, with the West India
Islandf, and divided according to Treaty
or Peace concluded at Paris, February 10,
1783. According to Latest Survevg ami
Corrected from Original Materials."
This map, a century and a half old,
worn, dimmed and yellow with age, is
held together by a reinforcement of cloth
on the back. It is, however, legible ami
very interesting in manner of spelling and
the queer conceptions of the geography of
America that it ludicates. Little was
known of the country lying wnst of the
anot Indicated on the map n» "The Mouths
of the Mlsfalfajpi," und all of what is now
Northwest Texas and New Mexico is des-
ignated ns a "Vast Track of Land Un-
known A few of the rivers of Texas are
indicated on thlg map. The Ulo Grande
is given as the Rio del bravo, and the
Colorado is given the lengthy title of "Ulo
San Marcos or Hlo Colorado, called also
Rio de las Canas."
What Is now the Trinity In rall.Ml pn
this early map the Ulo de Trinidad and a
crona Indicates the spot on the Trinity
where La Salle was killed. Ilv the spot
£?,■?£?. "Mon«1<!<"' de l.
aalle was killed here."
Among early mops of Toms one of the
oldest Is dated lflOtt and was made by a
™ol«. '"'Of <"">« by the Spaniards. On
the hack of this map nre the dim words,
barely legible: "Chs. Clvera-pendn dans
a revolution par les Oichupinas." 'Brans
ated the words read; "Charles Olvera
hung in the revolution (probably 1S12) by
the native Spaniards."

manuacript that were made by Stephen
F. Austin, the first in and tto.- last
iu lfCSl. The map of 1which Is very
faded wan modeled after the Olvera map
and is diifereut from the first only where
knowledge that Auatiu had gained by his
explorations enabled him to make addi-
tions to the map of 1UU6. All the writing
on thiB map wua uone by Austin iu ftpau-
lsh. in oae corner may still be rea l the
words as they were written by Austin al-
most a hundred years ago; "Map a de la
Province de Teliae par Don Eateman Aus
tin."
The second map is much larger and
shows tlie remarkable increase in knowl-
edge of the geography of Texas that Aus
tin had gained iu the years between 1H22
and lMIl). The purpose of this map was
to show the increase in population iu
Texas resulting from the first decade of
colonization under the emprassarlo sys
tem. At the time of the Olvera map in
1805, Texas contained four settlements of
any importance. These were Hexar, the
largest, with a population of l.bOG; La
I'aliia, Laredo and Nacodoches (Nacog-
doches). These all lay along the old San
Antonio ltoad and the vast heart of the
State was unknown except by Indiuns.
The map of 1821), however, shows a large
number of settlements, any oiie of which
surpassed in population the lt8M boasted
by San Antonio de Uexar In lH()fi. Aus-
tin's own colony In ls:l» showed a popu-
lation of 3,"joy; Jiexar had grown to il.ooo
and 1><' Witt's colony contained 'J,000 pco
j)l '. These figures are given 'by Austin
in the n.argin of his map.
In this map Austin shows a much clear
er knowledge of the rivers of Texas than
is revealed by any former map. The
course of the Colorado is traced to its
source and the San Saba. Conchas 'n<>w
. Concho) and llano tributaries shown north
of where the source of the Colorado Is In-
dicated is written: "Immense herds of buf-
falo, large prairie, very level, soil red,
water brackish,"
On the line of the Hraros, where Wrn
Is now located, Austin wrote: "Old Wjco
villages, largo droves of buffalo, wild cat-
itle and horses."
On this map Austin wrote here and there
graphic sketches which Indicate a broad
knowledge of Texas geology, plant and
unimal life and location of Indian tribes.
One. of these sketches is located Just
above the line Indicating the Ulo Grunde
Ul\g>r. The sketch, written iu a clear, well
formed hand, easily legible, even though
It was written 1)0 years ago. reads f
"From the San Antonio River west to
the grand chain of mountains the eountry
is undulating, destitute of timber, soli ue:i-
erally of first quality, covered with grass,

SANITARY ENGINEERING BCREAl'
ADVISES ON HOW TO GET
HID OF RODENTS.
By AjM»oct«terJ 1'rea.
COBLKSZ, Nov. 24 (Correspondence)
German industries generally this fall have
been doing the greatest business in more
than five years, accordlug to German l
newspaper accounts. Foreign orders have '
been coming lu for months, various Indus |
trial ceuters have reported. Many fa"-
toriea are sa|d to have on hand more or
ders thau they will be able to fill in *ix
months or more. On all sides employs
are demanding increased wages, and many
labor difficulties have arisi u with Indica-
tions of unrest among the German worc-
niau for at least some months.
No extensive sales of German goods to
foreign buyers are recorded in the German
newspapers, but American Army officers
who keep account of the industrial and
economic situation assert that it is an e^-
tablibhed fact that foreign buyers are tak-
ing advantage of the low value of the
mark to purchase German products wher-
ever possible. In Coblenz, Belgian buyers
recently have been purchasing chlnawaro.
kitchen utensils, aluminum ware, furs an 1
other articles of general use.
The situation has reached such propor-
tions that the Ministries of Economies and
Finance have been discussing the advisa-
bility of establishing a duty on exports
on the ground that "a large part of the
German exports is being bold at sacrificial
price."
The Cologne Chamber of Commerce, i!T
calling attention to the large purchases of
goods by foreigners, says that In view of
the low value of the mark, these foreign
purchases constitute nothing more than a
"commercial plundering of Germany." The
chamber, as well as others in Frankfurt
and elsewhere, have advised German mer-
chants when selling to foreign buyers, co
charge prices somewhat In proportion to
the actual value <»f the goods iu the mar-
kets of the world.

AUSTIN, Tex.. Dec. 14.—-Numerous In-
quiries are coming into the State Board
of Health complaining of the number of
rats and mice that are now infesting many
sectlous of the State, and asking that some
means for the extermination of these pests
te given. Through the Sanitary Engineer-
ing Bureau the Board of Health suggests:
1. i'revent breeding places; offer no
lodging places or food In buildings
2. Exclude animals from buildings, by
placing screens over all openings, drain
pipes and reinforce doors leading to rooms
where food is stored, by metal strips, thus
pn-ventiug the mice and ruts gnawing
through.
3. Garbage and offal should be so de-
posited that the animals cannot get to It.
Incinerators are advised for towns, but
until such plants are installed all material
should be burned on the dumping ground.
4. Trapping; the guillotine trap is the
test for the home, in the opinion of the
State Board, while a barrel or pit type is
good for barns or store rooms; traps to
be baited with fried bacon. cornmeaL oat
meal, cheese, sausage or raw meat. Traps
should be sterilized after each catch.
In rice fields a good method is to build
numerous piles of straw, leave them for
several days, then surround with a wire
enclosure, remove the straw and let dogs
kill the rats and mice, i'olsonlng Is a
good method, and barium carbonate is rec-
ommended as the best and cheapest by
the Board of Health. This may be fed In
the form of dough composed of three parts
of meal or flour to one part of barium
carbonate. This poison iu small doses Is
harmless to domestic animals, and, being
a slow poison, the animal will usually
leave the house in search of water, death
following outsldi' of the house Domestic
animals as dogs and cats are recommended
as a means of destroying the pest, while
fumigation Is advised under supervision
of medical officers. Permanent results are
obtained by building houses so that the
rats cannot enter tjie house, particularly
where food may be kept.
The principal complaints thus far have
come Into the engineering department be
cause of the loss of food and crops iu sec
tloui that are Infected, but tlie health .If
partnient Is alive to the danger of these
animals as thev are hosts or intermediate
• hosts of bubonic plague, infantile kala *ar.
sarcosporidia, kedaui or Japaneae flood
fever, dwarf tape-worm and trlehnla. None
of these diseases are now In the State, so
far as the board known, but since the re-
ports from the various sections of the
State show that there Is a an per abun
dame of rats and mice present, a general
warning has been considered wise.

DECLARES PHRASE, "IN GOD WE

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec, 11. -A new and Inter
estiug explanation of Colonel Roosevelt's
objection to the use of the phrase, "In God

mer President's biographer
A letter written by Mr Roosevelt on No-
vember 11, 1B07, to a clergyman who had
differed with him about plaeiug the motto
on the coins, read:
"When the question of fhe new coinage
came up we looked into the law*and found
there was no warrant therein fur putting
'In God We Trust' on the coins. As thi
custom, although without legal warrant.

Bear these two words in mind.
Become acquainted with them. In
them lies the hope of relief and restoration
to the ill and suffering.
It's not many years since Chiropractic
was discovered. Yet today thousands who
P- were sick and ailing are restored to Health
1 U II 1 and are happy witnesses to the merits of this
the modern drugless way to health. The
handful of pioneers has grown until there
are now nearly 10,000 Chiropractors success-
fully practicing in the face of the bitterest
criticism and strongest opposition that ever
hindered a new and worthy idea. Chiropractic lives and advances
because it is right; because the results it obtains are the best argu-
ments in its favor. ,
Chiropractic demonstrates that there is a cause for all disease and
invariably it is found in the spine. By scientific adjustments, with-
out the use of drugs or knife, the Chiropractor corrects these defects
and Nature effects the cure. Through
