The American bison Is nearly extinct,
and many a farmer has regretted tho
fact, because it has cut off the supply of
"buffalo robes" with which he was wont
to protect himself from the winters cold
when obliged to be on the road. If re-
ports from Illinois are correct, states the
american Dniryman, substitute, having
all the advantages of the original article,
has been found in the hides Of tho Gallo
way and Angus cattle. If, as seems
likely, the skins can be readily cured to
equal samples which have been exhi oited,
they will be of considerable value for use
rs robes, and the breeders will have an
additional argument in favor of these ex-
cellent animals, which have long been
noted for their beef-producing qualities.

Simple Explanation Of GravItation.

SiHplt LAPiNHutiOH vi NsfaNltat1On.
Gravitation is subject that nearly
everybody is somewhat familiar with.
but there arc some things about it that
you may not know. For instance, sun
pose you were weighed at the top of
deep coal mine, and aftcrward at the
bottom, do you suppose that there would
be any difference in the result2 Yes,
there would. You would be lighter at
the bottom. If it were possible for YOU
to go on downward 1000 miles in the
earth, and there be weighed you would
probably be surprised TO find your weight
only onc-half of what it was at the sur
face; and if you could 60 to the center
of the Garth you wouldn't weigh I'LL
ounce.
This is because the center of the earth
is the center of its attractive power,
which is cXerted equally IN all directions.
If YOU ascend from the surface of the
earth, your weight will also decrease,
but not in the same ratio rs when you
descend. In going upward the decrease
will be in proportion to the square of the
distance. Thus, while you would weigh
nothing if you should go downward 1000
miles from the surface, you would still
weigh one-Gourth your actual weight if
you could weigh yourself 1000 miles up
in the air.
The law of gravitation is at once the
strangcst and the most sublime In all
nature. Light travels at the amazing
rate OF 1876, 900 miles in second. There
are visible stars so far away that if ono
were blotted out at this instant it would
be seen on the earth thousands of years
hence, because rays of light, starting
now, would take so long to reach us, even
at the wonderful velocity at which they
travel. But if a new star were now
placed out there in the depths of space,
where the blotted out one was, its at
tractivc force would reach us instantly.
That strange force which dominates the
universe would at once be felt, though,
of course, inapprcciably, between the new
star and our earth.
Gravitation differs from all other forces
in another respect. The intervention of
bodies in the line of attraction makes no
difference in the attractive force cxertcd.
For example, when the moon comes into
direct line between the earth and the
sun, there's not the slightest difference in
the reciprocal attraction between the two
former. The enormous power OF this
attractive force is utterly inconceivable.
We are constantly reminded of the power
tho earth cxerts in pulling us downward,
but think of the attractive power of
body like the SUP, more than million
times larger than tho earth. And this
power controls every speck of light
that VIC sec in the heavens. - PhiIadeL.

writes to the Jacksonville Times Union as--
follows:

statues, or rather statusttss, 10 Of Abrahsn
Lincoln. Among the visitors to the State
House yesterday was Fran kiln Simmons
the famous sculptor. While looking over
the Governors room his eye chsnced to
note these statue,tes. Turning to one Of
the persons present he said you had better
tell the Governor TO smash that figure OF
Abraham Lincoln" well. for that matte
they are both pretty BAD. are they not?
WAS the reply We'll had refereaoe to

c,uld and did ssy. what WAS the truth, that
they referred to the dilApidstion wrought

The best way to sustain health is to assist it.,
to stimulate it. The best Way to healthily
stimulate it is by the use Of pure, unadulterated
