Proof or the Earth's Motion.

ANY one can prove the rotary motion of
the earth on its axis by a simple expert
ment.
Take good sized bowl, fill it nearly
full of water, and place it upon the floor
of room which Is not exposed to shaking
or Earring from the street.
Sprinkle over the surface Of the water a
coating Of lycopodium powder, a white
substance, which is sometimes used for
the purposes of the toilet, and which can
be obtained at almost any apothecary's.
Then, upon the surface of this coating of
powder, make, with powdered charcoal, a
straight, black line, say an inch or two
inches in length.
Having made this little black mark
with the charcoal powder on the surface
Of Che contents Of the bowl, lay down
upon the floor, close to the bowl, o stick
or some other straight object, so that it
shall be exactly parallel with the mark.
If the line happens to be parallel with a
crack in the floor, or with any stationary
object in the room, this will serve as well.
Leave the bowl undisturbed for a few
hours, and then observe the position OF
the black mark with reference to the OBJ
ject that 1t was parallel with.
It will be found to have moved about,
| and to have moved from east to west,
that is to say, in that direction opposite
to that of the movement of the earth on
its axis.
The earth, in simply revolving, has
carried the water and everything else in
the bowl around with it, but the powder
on the surface has been left behind a
little. The line will always be found to
have moved from east to west, which is
perfectly good proof that everything. else
has moved the other way.-German

To Keep raants In winter.

A new principle for keeping plants
through the winter without artificial heat
was recently shown at Regents park,
London, WITH the plants grown. in them
last winter. The essence of the invention
is that all light and heat shall previously
pass through q shallow layer of water.
The water Is found to exercise great con-
troll over temperature, protecting plants
entirely from frost in winter and
from excessive direct heat In summer.
The application involves no difficulty. In
the case of garden frame q sliding
.s'water light, y about three inches deep, is
made to fit over the frame containing the
plants, the only difference from glass
light being that It holds water and is al
ways placed in fat position. The depth
of water generally kept in the tank Is
about two inches in summer and winter,
and half the depth In spring and autumn.

One of the principal reasons why A.
r. McGill was so distastetul to the
Republicans of Minnesota as a cam
didate for the governorship two years
ago, is that it was very generally be-
lieved that, in order to secure the
nomination, he has bound himself
hand and foot with promises to poll
ticians whose interests were and are
inimical to those of the farmers and
laborers of the state. McGill's adj
ministration has shown the correct
ness of the impressions which the
people then had of him. His appoint
ments and official actions generally
have borne the impress of ante-elec-
ton agreements. Even the Pioneer
Press, the greatest McGill organ in
the state, admitted, few days ago,
the truth of the above by family en-
deavoring to intimate that at last
McGill had succeeded in paying his
political debts and is now ready to
consult the public good in making ap-
pointments. We refer to this matter
now because of its effect upon the ap-
preaching campaign. We think it
shows that McGill is not and ought
not to be an available candidate for
reelection. The interests Of the far
mers and laborers of this state are too
important to be entrused to a man
who will deliberately bargain them
away. Two years ago, the nomination
of hummer by the Democrats is all
that prevented McGills defeat. This
year it is not safe for the Republicans
to count upon Democratic help, and
If McGill is re-nominated, his defeat
may be expected. Farmers and labor
ers have but little confidence in him
and can not be expected to support
him. The Red Wing Republican,
Mortified News and other staunch
and influential Republican papers are
opposed to him and it is noticeable
that many of those who earnestly sup
ported MeGill two years ago will not
do so now. For these and numerous
other PERSONS, the conclusion seems
irresistible that McGill is not the man
to lead the Republicans in Minnesota
this year. His denomination means
rack Of harmony and probable defeat.
IF McGill cares for the welfare and
success of his party, we take pleasure
in once more calling his attention to
that able letter recently written by
James G.. Blaine.

Peouliaritles Of r.ichens.

The lichen is remarkable for the great
age to which it lives; there Is good ground
for believing that they endure as long ~
100 years. An authority states that some
plants have been found by actual observa-
ton to endure as years. Their growth il
exceedingly slow, indicating that only, o
little nourishment serves to keep them
alive. In dry time they have power of
suspending growth altogether, renewing
it again at the fall of rain. In time Of
rain they change their color, becoming
greener. Another interesting fact about
iichens is that they grow only where the
air is free from smoke or dust. They are
never found growing in the neighborhood
of towns, where tho atmosphere is Inn
pregnated with SCOT and smoke. Thus
these plants afford an indication Of the
purity of the air.-Forest and Stream.

Scana On the Bowery.


There was queer scene on the Bowery
a day or two ago, when one of the clothing
houses gave away 1000 overcoats to poor
boys, demanding quarter from each boy,
for some wise reason not clearly eX-
planned. The little gamins who sell the
papers got most of them. Possibly you
think that was good, and that they would
be snug and warm this winter. Well, I
don't know. They are, beyond and above
all other, the strangest part of our popu-
lation. They are like little rats or foxes
Their origin is easy to get at; they are the
children of love, of paupers, of vaga-
bonds, and of the squalid tenement dis
tricts. Thousands either have no homes
or else don't go to them, but live in lodg-
ings, newsboys' homes, and in wagons,
garrets, cellars and the general poke holes
of the city. The bootblacks are their
brothers and chums, and live in the same
way. They all smoke-either stumps,
picked up, or cigarettes at two for cent.
Their stoves are the gratings over boilers
under the streets; their dissipation is at
tendance of the galleries of the cheapest
variety shows; their best fun is found in
fighting.
"They are wild beasts" said the clerk
in the publication Office of a newspaper
the other day. 'They are devoid of affec-
ton and gratitude. They swear at you if
you speak kindly to them, run away from
you if you offer them advice, jeer at you

weather they break the windows, hack
the woodwork and even 60 so far as to
take stones or weights and break the
heaviest iron work. While they wait in
the Office to buy papers they dig trenches
in the counters with the steel pens and
break the holders in two. One day one of
the clerks gave one of these boys good
derby hat that he had tired of. Another
clerk asked the boy why he did not say
Thank you 'A-a-a-h,' the boy replied,

elect men with clear heads and true
hearts and courage to do what they
believe to be right, regardless OF rings,

EDITOR TRIBUNE:
The year 1888 is at hand and with
it will come an important time to the
agricultural population of our state.
Elections, national, gubernatorial,
state and legislation will be held and
it behooves US as intelligent men,
vino have long since found out that
our situation can be improved and
we must be prepared when the time
comes to act nationally and effectively
During the heated contest OF nation.
al election, such as next Fall will
witness, there is but little chance oil
our acting judiciously unless we are
we'll organized; then We can act
harmoniously and keep our heads
level" Fellow farmers, I do not
wish to subject you to the perusal OF
political harangue before 1873 has
fairly begun, but such questions as
"How about your Alliance? Is the
Alliance dead"? etc have set me to
thinking that Gabriel's trumpet has
need of sounding in the ears of some
of our indolent members.
No gentlemen, the Alliance is not
dead, but, alas! some Of the members
are fast asleep. Let me ask such
sleepy ones, has the Alliance done
anything for your benefit in the past
If you answer truthfully you will
have to say it has, and you will also
have to concede that great deal YET
remains to be done. Then wake W
and don't expect the President and q
few others to do it all for you.
The coming year being of such i'm.
portance, we should have our best and
truest men at the head. Go to the
next meeting and help elect them and
at the same time encourage them by
showing that you are willing to do
all you can.
One word to the business men OF
our villages. / can not find the re-
hottest reason why there should ex-
list antagonistic feelings between
yourselves and the Alliance. Are
not our aims and objects the same az
yours? and does not our welfare in.
clude your prosperity? Truly, the
parasite must starve when the cab.
bags head doth wither. Please ex.
cuse this joke and let us shake hands
and work in unity.
