Mr, Bird was introduced and applaudei i
by some dozen hands. He said he came TO

people to vote the Republican ticket because
they would give the people many needed re-

Democrats would never do. He called upon

The Current Of Rivers.

A very slight declivity sufices to gipo
the running motion to water. Three
inches per mile in u smooth strait channel
gives velocity Of about three miles on
hour. The Gangcs, which gather tho
watcfs of the Himalaya mountains, tho
ofticst in the world, is at 100 miles from ito
mouth only 800 feet above tho level Of tho
seu, and to fall 800 feet ia its long course
the water requires more than month.
The great river Nlugdclcna in South Amer.
lea, running for 1000 miles between two
ridges of the Andes, falls only about 500
feet in all that distance. Above the dis
tancc of |, 200 miles it has been deocuding
in rapids and cataracto from tho mountains.
The gigantic Rio dc la Plata has so
gentle decent to the ocean that in Para.
quay 1900 miles from its mouth, largo
ships arc seen which have sailed against the
current all the way by tho foroo of tho
wind alonc-that is to say which. on tho
beautifully inelined plane of the stream,
have been gradually lifted by the soft wind,
and even against the current, to an elevation
greater than our cftiest spires.

Gold Leaf Wonders.

Homer refers to it The tempo of Solo.
mon was profiseIy gilt. PlinY states thut
in his time single ounce of gold admitted
of being beaten out into $50 leaves, four
fingers in length by the same in breadth
This tcnulty is mr. exceeded 10 the present
day. "Anout 1921" says Beckmnnn,
"Mcrunne excited general astonisnment,
when ho showed that the Partisan god>
beaters could beat an ounce of gold into
l.G00 leaves, which together covered
surface of l05 square feet. But in I'LL
when tho pelliclcs discovered by the Ger
mans came to be used in Paris, Rcumcr
found that an ounce Of gold, in the form of
cube, five and half lines at most in
length, breadth aud thickness aud which
covered surface of about twenty seven
square lines, could be so extended by tho
gold heaters as to cover u surface of more
that l,i664 square feet"
