The Basis of Socialism.

Four philosophers sat about a round
table in a hosiery Sunday afternoon,
and discussed the signs of the times
as they quaffed their lager.
81 tell you," said the bloodthirsty
philosopher, as he made semi-circu
lar incision the size of barrel top in
cheese sandwich, 81 tell you, and
You mark me, that the Cincinnati riot
is only premonition There are
bloody days before us and they are
not far away. Outraged man is cry
ing to heaven for vengeance, and
heaven failing to interfere, he will
avenge himself, and his revenge will
be fearful one. [ feel the time ap-
preaching, and when the down-trod-
den majority turn upon their oppres-
sors their will be riot and carnage
before which the horror of the reign
of terror shall pale into insignificance,
and when that time comes | shall lead

beginning to end, from first to last,
from Alpha to Omaha /! The fire of
INSTRUMENTATION and socialism are in
me ! I am full of it %
"And am with you," declared the
youthful philosopher. 81 am full of
it, too -
"You're both Of you fuller OF beer,'
observed the skeptical philosopher.
"Well,'' the drunken philosopher
remarked, with a sage hiccough, "beer

Rev. w. L. McGREw, of Somerset
county, Pa, is said to be the best rifle
shot in America, performing all of
Carver's and Bogardus' feats, and a
great many others they never at
tempt. A man has to be mighty
handy with gun to be a successful
preacher in some countries. The rev.
erend ought to be sent by the con-
ference ON a starring tour through

Bulletin No. from the Missouri,
State College Farm brings further re-
ports Of tests made bv Prof. Sanbcin
to determine the movement Of moisture
In cultivated fields dnr.ag the growing
season. Two sheet-iron pipes SIX
inches in diameter were driven into tic
soil 10 she depth OF six inches. one ol
the pipes with iis earth enclosed being
furnished with n wooden bottom. driven
under il from outside after the pine
was liked in place. the soil in fhe oi.ier
Pipe being without such ''c;it or from

red on during the months Of Septcm

generally rainless.
By repeated weishings Of soil taSca
from the upper two inches. and the
second two inches. and dried BY arti-
iic al heat 20 determine the per cent of
moisture each contained. il was shown
that in every case the surface contained
more moisture in the carly morning
than in the previous evening. and GlSa
that in every ease but ODe. "a very
fOggy moruing,) the upper two inches
contained less moisture than the sec
oad two inches The inference Is that
the surface soil Of cultivated field is
constantly giving up moisture IN dry
weather night and day. and that the
moisture is drawn upward BY capillary
artion from the soil beneath. IN eyi-
dence Of this il was found that the
earth in the pipe with n hoard bottom
in no case lost so much water bv Grv-
ing as the earth in the pipe having
nothing To interrupt the upward move
ment OF the moisture through TIE soil
