Chicago, June SIN the United
States circuit court today Judges Jen-
kins and Wood delivered decision
favoring the closing of the Worlds
Fair gates on Sunday. Judge Cross
cup filed dissenting opinion holding
that the injunction should not issue.
On behalf of the Worlds Fair. an ap-
peal will be taken to the United States
Supreme court.
Judge Woods said that Jackson
Park was lawfully devoted for expo
sition purposes, and that the exposition
had been, in fact, turned over to the
federal government by the local corpo-
ration. and that it's control was there
fore absolute as was its control of the
federal building 1t would be held that
the Sunday closing rule having once
been passed by the local directory and
approved by the national commission,
the former body could not change 1t.
Regarding the case before Judge Stein,
of the state court, he held that it was
no bar to the proceedings, because 1t
is inadmissable to say that the govern
ment must in comfy yield to a state
court. Judge Jenkins took the view
that the Sunday closing condition was
not question of religious belief, but
matter of scientific research, that
man required one day to rest, and
that this had been recognized by the
United States ever since their forma-
ton. Judge Grosscup in dessenting
held that the commissioners had juris-
diction over the exhibits and awarding
prizesa also the right to modify, but
not to make rules in reference to the
$5,0OOO00 appropriated by congress. He
held 1t was not the nature Of the gift
but contract between the United
States and a local corporation. He
said: "If the national commission has
charge of the exposition as claimed, it
was the first time he had ever heard Of
a donor making himself a donation
The government haveing broken its
contract by Withholding part of this
appropriation, therefore the local or
ganization was released from It's con-
tract with the government. He there
fore disagreed from the conclusions Of
the judges"

AN A WFUL MOMENT.

When Brakeman Thompson-who,

opened a switch at Kingsbury, Ind,
and sent Wabash passenger train
headlong against solid line of load
ed freight cars, the indignant public
suggested all sorts of punishment
tor him. Men who had worked on
train crews were not so bitter. One
OF the prominent railway officials of
Chicago-a general passenger agent
took the trouble to inquire into
Thompson's record and learned that
he had been one of the most intel
ligent, competent and careful men in
the employ of the company.
"He has suffered his iull penalty al

HOW NAIL CLERKS ASSIST THE
MEMORY,

The railway postal clerks have a
unique method, says a contemporary,
Tor learning the routes on which
post Offices are located. Take, for
example, the state of Pennsylvania,
IN which there are over 5000 Offices.
The prospective mail distributor
buys a quantity of blank cards
about the size of the ordinary visit
ing card-and on each OF these he
writes the name of an office. On the
pack OF the card he writes the name
81 the route by which the office is
served with it's mail. Taking in
nand package of these cards-say
rom 80 to 100-he goes over them
one after another studiously, look
'u.g at the back each time and get
ing the name and route clearly as
SocIated in his mind. The second
eme ne goes through the pack he
""aS that he knows the halt OF the
route by reading the name of the
oInce. 1t is a dull student who up
9h gong over a pack of cards a
uozen times does not know them
thoroughly. The method is SO
SIMPLE and such an aid to memoriz-
ing that it is adopted by all railway
nla'l clerks. BY it clerks have been
nnown to memorize state like
e"nSylvania inside OF two months.

One uemonstrative clerk on the New
York and Flttsburg X. p. 0. is
famed for having learned the state Of
OHIO in four days. As he shuffled
over his cards he walked from garret
to cellar, and vice versa, from dawn
until the shades of twilight fell. On
the fourth day he went to the
examiners office and separated Ohio
without an error.
1t is related that the wife of a
postal clerk adopted the card
method for increasing her vo-
cabulary in French. On one side of
the cards she wrote the French word
and on the other the English
equivalent to be learned. Another
lady, hearing OF this, used the same
system successfully for learning
mythology, placing the word
Mars" for instance, on one side of
the card and war" on the other.
The method has SO many advantages
over the old and tedious way Of

THE STORY OF ZERO.

The word zero" is from the Span
ish and means empty, hence nothing.
1t was first used for thermometer
in 1895 by a Prussian merchant
named Fahrenheit. From a boy he
was a close observer of nature, and
when only ten years old, in the re-
markably cold winter of 1903, he
experimental by putting snow and
salt together, and noticed that it
produced degree of cold equal to
the coolest day Of the year, says
London Public Opinion.
And that day being the coolest
that the oldest inhabtant could re-
member, Farenheit was the more
struck with the coincidence of his
little scientific discovery, and hastily
concluded that he had found the
lowest degree of temperature known
in the world, either natural or arti-
fetal.
He called the degree zero, and con-
structed thermometer of rude
weather glass, with a scale gradu
ating up to boiling point, which he
numbered 213, the freezing point 80,
because, as he thought, mercury
contracted the thirty-second of its
volume on being cooled down from
the temperature of freezing water
to zero, and expanded the one hun
bred and eighteth on being heated
from the freezing to the boiling
point.
