DO Water Wheels Hun Faster at Night:

DO Water Wheels Hun Faster at Night:
For years the question whether
water wheels ran faster at night than
during the day has been catalogucd
among the things which no man can
find cut.
They do il they are SO gcared as to
be affected by the varying fullness
and speed of the current in which
they are set. There is no doubt that
all streams are fuller. and all streams
carry more water at midnight than
they do at noon. In the first place,
the increased GOODNESS Of the air pre-
vents evaporation and sudden drying
Up of smaller tributaries: and, in the
second place, the condensation of
the moisture in the air in the shape
of dew is always sufficient to add
something to large streams and their
branches. Heavy dews are often SO
copious as to be almost equal to a
small shower OF rain. We often hear
dewdrops falling from the overloaded
leaves and find all exposed objects as
wet as If they had undergone a show
er during the night. A large portion
of this moisture must get into the
minute channels which, ofcourse con.
duct it to mill streams.
Gotten" says Humboldt, ''the effect
upon a shallow stream is very notice
able, indeed.n If it is at all "notice-
able' wheel turned by such stream
would ''go faster by night than by
day.'-In6ianapolis News.

IT WILL. SURELY FLY.

A Missouri Man Is Building an Air Ship
to show vt the Fair.
An air ship which its owner says
will surely fly and which will be
entirely different from all heretofore
placed on the market, is being built
at Kansas City and will be sent to
Chicago to be placed in the worlds
fair. The inventor is A. A. Kellogg
a Clinton, Mo-, man. "If the ship

any direction at the will of the

ing with this machine for twenty
years, and as sure as the sun shines
the thing will be success" The
machine will be sixty feet long and
twenty feet wide. In appearance its
inventor says it will be much like a
side wheel steamer. The frame work
will be Of rattan and aluminium. To
assist in keeping the ship suspended
in mid-air there will be a large cigar
shaped buoyancy chamber OF var
nished linen filled with hydrogen gas.
Underneath will be suspended the
car, which will contain the steering
and prOpelling apparatus, and in
which there will be room for three
persons. The weight of the car and
a forty foot keel will maintain the
ships equilibrium. On each side Of
1.-THE car there will be a wing, divided
into four sections. These will have
q striking motion like the wings Of .
bird. Power will be furnished by
electricity, and each section of the
wings will revolve thirty-five times
each minute. By means Of an
eccentric wheel the wings can be
made to strike in any direction, and
thus the ship will be guided as we'll
as propelled by the wings. An
electric motor especially designed by
Mr.. Kellogg will combine lightness
and power.

UNIoNIss1 ILLEGAL.
Judge Taft's Decision Regarding tn

Judge Taft's Decision Regarding the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engineers.
Judge Kicks, in the United States
circuit court at Toledo, has rendered
his decision in the case of the Lake
Shore engineers, who, obeying the
laws of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, refused to handle
Ann Arbor freight, as there was a
strike on that road. The court held
that Engineer James Lennon, mas
much as he has been twice ordered to
move the cars by the officials of the
company, and did not do SO until
ordered to do SO by brotherhood
officers, after the boycott was raised,
was guilty of contempt of court.
The seven other men were dis
charged.
The decision is in line with in
formal talk he gave these men on the
afternoon of their arrest, but which
was misconstrued widely into a
declaration that man can be COM
PEELED to work though he desires to
quit his employers service. The de-
cision, briefly, is that a man may
quit work when he shall choose, IL he
quits in good faith; but an engineer
out on run must complete his run
before quitting.
Judge Kicks read Judge Taft's de
cision in the Ann Arbor injunction
case, in which Chief Arthur, uf the
Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, is made a party. He decided
that the whole brotherhood was ;
conspiracy against the laws of tn,
country and that inasmuch as Arthur
gave the orders that prccipitated tn,
boycott, an order for a temporar!
injunction against Arthur as prayed
for was allowed.

TERRIBLE pR1vArloNs.
A Few of the Crew Of tho King Jame
Found Alive.

Purscr Stanley, just landed from the
steamer Los Angeles, reports picking
up of boat about forty miles north
Of Redondo, CAL, which proved to be
the missing one of the ill-fated ship
King James. The boat left the Ships
side when the fire drove them from
the vessel, about $50 miles off Point
Conception. They left the ship at
midnight of March IL and laid by the
ship until 4 o'clock the following
morning. At $40 p. m. of the 3lst
the haat capsizcd and four men were
drowned. The captain, his boy and
the remainder of the crew climbed
upon the keel of the boat and sue
cceded in righting her, but the boat
was full of water and they remained
to their waists in water for fourteen
hours, when the men worn out, ex-
'haUsicd and chilled, began dying,
and one after another passed away
until eight, including the captains
son were dead. The dead were passed
overheard and the boat was SO re-
lieved by this means that those living
were enabled to bail her out. All
provisions, oars and rigging of every
kind, excepting small piece Of sail,
were lost at the upsettingof the boat,
and it was only through and ingenious
contsivancc of making the grating
and boat-lining into a ruddcr and the
use of the scrap of sail, that they
were enabled to make any headway
whatever.
When picked up by the LosAngeles
the captain and three remaining
members of his crew had been five
days without food or water. They
were so weak as to be unable to stand
or walk and had to be lifted from the
boat.

Liss Began at tho Poles.


AS matter Of fact this earth OF
ours has long passed its youth. 1t is |
now verging Gu old age, and, with its
poles covered with everlasting ice, it
may be likened to body whose
extremities are belched and paralyzed
with years. Even in the geological
period which Immediately preceded
our own. and which is known as the
postpliocene, or quarternary, great
changes took place, and man has been
q witness to them. The rivers of to-
day are mere brooks compared to
what they were then, and in North
America we can trace the shore lines
Of immense quarternary lakes which
no longer exist. But while this fact
may interest and perhaps surprise
us a little, 1T does not tax our
credullty SO much as when we are
told that once, instead OF snow and
ice, a luxuriant vegetation flourished
not far from the poles. Indeed, the
French naturalist, Button, believed
that on our planet, which was slowly
cooled and consolidated, life began at
the poles; and that from thence 1t
spread in the direction of the tropics,
where at first the heat was too intense
to admit Of any kind Of life. But ii
is only within recent years that we
have been ableto get glimpse of the
ancient arctic zone, which is much
more accessible than the antarctic
and what has thus far been brought
ito light makes Buttons daring con.
lecture appear not so very improb-
able.

Alaska along the banks of the Mac
kcnsie river, even in Grinnell Land,

ing to the carboniferous, jurassic,
cretaceous and tertiary periods, and
these plants have been described by
Prof. Oswald Heer of Zurich in his
admirable work-'sFlora Fossils
Artica." The fossils sequoias OF
Grinnell Land bear an unmistakable
resemblance to the living sequoias OF
California, while the fossil laurel
Taurus 2rimogenia Of ancient Green
land, is said to be direct ancestor OF
the present laurel. The cold which
overwhelmed the ancient polar re.
gions is not arrested in it's progress:
the cause which first brought it on is
still at work. Our sun is becoming
more and more condensed, and by
by it will no longer find in the con-
traction OF its diameter source
sufficient to keep up its energy, and
with the extinction of the sun our
earth must perish. The approach of
this deadly world Chill is infinitely
slow-so slew that history takes nc
note of it; but in time the now
crowded, busy portions of the earth
must meet the fate of Greenland and
Spitzbergen. This day is still buried
in the distant future; but, far off as
it is, the lesson of the past tells that
it is coming.-Catholic World.

AGES AT WHICH MEN MARRY
The Era of Matrimony Governed BY tn.
Various Occupations of Men.

The Era of Matrimony Governed by the
Various Occupations of Men.
Statistics show that law of
chances govern in the vast majority
of cases the ages at which men marry
who are engaged in certain occupa-
ti0ns. Workmen and artisans take
unto themselves wives at an earlier
age than those whose vocations are
OF more intellectual kind. Thus
miners, textile factory hands, laborers
and artisans marry at an average Of
twenty-five years. OF these the
miners are first in the field, more
than 100 of every 1000 of them
securing wives before they have
become of age. Workers in textile
fabrics rui. them close; then come
shoemakers and tailors, and they arc
followed by artisans and laborers.
Farmers and farmers sons consider
twenty-five early enough. Com
mercial clerks seek the pleasures o1
matrimony at twenty-six. ShoI
keepers and shopmen postpone the
rapture a little while longer. Pro
fessional men and gentlemen o.
independent means rarely care tt
encumber themselves even with 81
delightful a burden as wife unit
they have toed the line of over thirt.
years. Though the rich marry at ,
more ripe age than the working
fraternity, they continue marryin,
until long after the last named hav,
ceased to wed. Whereas fourteen
miners and twenty-five artisans IL
every 1000 marry between the ages o
thirty-flve and forty, nearly 100 o
the professional and Independent
class do. 1t is explained in this way
The rich like to see something o
this world and its pleasures befor,
settling down to sober matrimony
A laborcr has neither desire no
opportunity for it.
