The fling is accepted in all good ma

prepondersnce of political power in
Kansas, tip up the old pocket SO high

five or eight years Leayenworth will

This same Cowskin country, If its sta

were withdrawn from the state agri-

aching void. OF course, if we wanted
the nomination fer governor We might
talk differently. But all that a ma

know about Kansas is what they get
from the returns of the secretary OF
the board of agriculture and from the
newspapers, and if the pages repre-

would be nightly little, comparatively,

there are a hundred or so who are

WINFIELD, Feb. IL, 1886.

was called. Twas urged by the editor
of the EAGLE, and my official board,
to go with Messrs. NV. Levy and IL.
W. Lewis to Fort Scott and aid in
changing the decision. l gladly did
for Wichita what l consented to do
for Winfield. You did not make an
unfair criticism touching my course
then. | did it for Wichita, whose
people 1 have always esteemed and
loved. / did not own one dollars

not own any in Winfield now. | have
never engaged in speculations of any
kind since coming to the state, and nc
one knows this better than the editor
of the EAGLE. Wherever my lot ma!
be cast, I shall do all can to help thu
people of that community, spiritual.

Enlargfng the state.

Austin Reveille: W. NJ. Stewart, q prom
inent Republican candidate for United
States Senator. has a plan for charging the
State Of Nevada and thereby not only MAX
ing our State numerically entitled to q
Congressman, but also to give us a good
standing in the galaxy OF stars. This plan
he recently outlined to this writer and is
substantially a.. follows: II is conceded
that Washington Territory will have the
panhandle" OF Idaho added to 1t. This
will make it an impossibility for the rest Of
Idaho to ever become q State, and as all
the Territories are intended 10 eventually
become States it Is quite proper to add the
rest of Idaho to Nevada. This would give
US the the Oregon Short Line for a long
distance and much desired land. Then the
Mormon question can best be settled by
dividing Utah mp. Give the western por-
ton TO Nevada so as to take in about half
OF Great Salt Lake. This will add q slice
more OF Central Pacific railroad to our
State and some good mining and agricul-
tural tracts. The rest Of Utah to be d.
vided between Colorado and Wyoming,
and good lines would be drawn in every
case except the corner where Oregon joins
Still the enlargement would not be
anything like as big rs Texas. Mr.. Stewart
thinks the scheme an entirely tenable one
and if sent to the Senate will try to bring
about. Take q map and trace out the
proposed State and see what you think OF
his plan.

THE THICK = OF SHOWER
CLOUDS,

An interesting paper by Mr.. Arthur
w. Clayden, recently read before the
Royal Meteorological Society at London,
gives the results of a series of observa.
tions to determine the connection be.
tween the "blackness of a cloud and
the heaviness of the shower which falls
from it. Mr.. Clayden first ascertained
by means Of an azimuth compass and
sextant the hight Of each clouds base
above the earth, subsequently, determin-
ing its approximate thickness. He found
that from clouds the thickness of which
did not exceed two thousand feet the
rain is always slight, while the rain
drops are rather minute. As the shower
clouds increase in thickness the amount
of rain and the size of the rain drops
proportionately increase, and the clouds
from which hailstorms come reach a
thickness OF over ten thousand feet. 1t
is very noticeable also that as the cloud
thickens the rain drops which fall from
it are colder.
1t is suggested that condensation
begins on the upper surface of the cloud
by the coolingcf the liquid cloud par
ticles. In this view it is easy to see how
hailstones 1.-THE formation of which is still
a mystery with many people) can be
formed in the middle ATTITUDES. The
snow line over Southern England is prob
ably, as he says, between six and seven
thousand feet above sea level. So that
a shower cloud even less than ten thous.
and feet thick would rear its pyramidical
head into a freezing medium. 1t is GER
tain, however, that the snow line in
England is often higher than Mr.. Clay
den ssumes, as English %aeronauts have
found the thermometer registering over
forty.6ve degrees at an altitude of ten
thousand feet. 1t does not therefore
follow that either snow or hail will nec-
essarily be formed in clouds of greater
thickness.
