MEN IN PUBLIC LIFE,

ROSWELL B~EARDsLEY, postmaster at
North Lansing, N. Y. was appointed
during the administration of President
John Quincy Adams in 1928. He is now
eighty-three years old, and has held
Office c~onsecutively for sixty-five years.
THE only two natives of Colorado in
the house of representatives of that
state are Harry Sims, of Arapahoe, who
was the first white child born in Pue-
bio, and Celestino Garcia, who repre-
sents Conejos county, and who is OF
Mexican parentage.
SECRETARY GRESHAM loves to sit
hours and hours before the statue OF
Gen. Mcpherson in Washington. The
two were intimate officers in Sherman's
army. One day before Atlanta Gresh-
am was terribly wounded at McPher-
sons side, and five minutes later Nc
Pherson was killed.

Some Scientists Claim They Have Roots
Similar to Trees.
1t is well-known that mountains at
tract the plumb line, and thus render
attitudes determined by it's means or
by a spirit or mercurial level inaccur-
ate in their vicinity, a Y A. r. Wallace
IN the Fortnightly Review.
During the trigonometrical survey Of
India, the amount of this error was
carefully determined in several locali-
ties near mountains, but a discrepancy
appeared.
When the mass of the Himalayas was
estimated and its attraction calculated
it was found to be more than the OBJ
served attraction. The same thing had
occurred in the original experiment by
Maskelyne at Schehallion in Scotland,
and a similar deficiency in the error
produced was noticed by Petit in the
case of the Pyrenees.
Many attempts were made to explain
the discrepany, but that which was ad-
vanced by the late Sir G. b. Airy seems
best to account for all the phenomena,
and it is that adopted by Mr.. Fisher.
1t is that every mountain mass on q
continent has a much larger mass pro-
jecting beneath the crust into the liq-
uid substratum, exactly as an iceberg
has a larger mass under the water than
above it.
Sir G. B. Airy argued that, whether
the crust were 10 miles or a 100 miles
thick, it could not zeal the weight of
such a a as the Himalayan and Thi-
betan p%lateaus without breaking from
bottom to top, and receiving support by
partially sinking into the liquid mass.
The best experiments show that the
proportionate densities of most rocks
in a solid and a liquid state are approx
imately rs ice is to water, and thus no
mountain masses can be formed,
whether by lateral pressure or other
agency, without a corresponding protu-
berance forming below to keep the
crust in equilibrium. 1t is this dis
placement of the denser substratum by
the less dense roots Of the mountains
that leads to the total attraction of
such mountains being less than it other
wise would be. In our authors words,
"the roots of the mountains can be felt
by means of the plumb line"

Peculiar Effects of the Process on the
Eyes of Work:nen.
Some of men enjoyed in the Kol-
omna iron works, in Russia, have lately
had some unpleasant experiences. Elec-
trio welding is practiced there accord
ing to the Bernados process. While en-
gagged on the trying work the artificer's
eyes were, of course, protected by tint
Ell glasses, but. the skin being exposed,
the following symptoms were manifest
in the eyes; in from three to four hours,
discharges from the nose and eyes;
three to four hours later. a dry cough:
four to five hours later, swelling of the
skin and development of other symp-
toms; eight to ten hours from the COM
mencement of the disorder, continuous
irritation of the eyes, lasting from four
to six hours: and finally, coloring of the
skin. Then the various effects ceased,
and the skin began to peel. On the
third day the cuticle had completely de-
corticated, and by the sixth all the pain
full symptoms disappeared. But for
weeks a%fterward the skin remained col
ored. These effects, it would seem. are
exactly the same as those which are
induced under scorching by the sun.

is considered unsafe, as the bricks are
continually falling. You will notice
that the bolt struck the top first, then
skipped about fifteen feet, tearing the

with drenching cathartics, to overcome
their constipation, but at serious cost to the

thereby much enfeebled and excessively re-

Trunks and valisss.

Two Of the necessary adjuncts to every house
hold are a good trunk and frst-clAss vslise.
In these days Of humbuggery, strange as 1t may
seem. it is difficult to get either. no matter
what price is paid. There is q place in Wash
iugton, the only one of its kind devoted exclu-
sively to the manufacture of trunks, valises
and other leather goods, that ia fast obtaining
for itself q national reputation, and every day
hundreds of dollars worth of goods are shipped
to all parts Of the United States. The place re-
ferred to is Tophams. situated at 1881 Penn
sylvania avenue. What Mr.. Tophasn don't
know about the business is not worth finding
out. for he has devoted himself to the manu-
facture Of leather goods for forty years, and his
two sons, who are associated with him in the
business, have had practical experience of
seventeen years. At this establishment may be
found every variety of leather goods from the
dainty ladies' purse. made Of lizard skin and
bound in silver, to q jumbo sole leather trunk.
Just Mt this time there is big run on leatheroid
trunks. considered by far the strongest and
best trunk on the market. It closely resembles
sole leather, and is far more durable. Its price
will astonish you, and its weight 10 at least Is
per cent lighter than any other trunk Of its
size. The making Of these trunks is one OF the
most interesting features Of the business. In
the first place Mr.. Topham does not believe In
doing things a small scale and lumber for
the trunks Is bought by the car load, aud In the
saving OF tnese small items OF freight and sec
ond costs he is able to offer the best prices.
The leatheroid comes in sheets. SO infexible
that heavy machine Is required to bend it into
proper shape. Several workmen are engaged
upon every trunk, and each one has a par
ticular part to make. When they are finished
and put together they At with the nicely Of 9

OF Mr.. Topham's business. A floor space OF

A Pastor on Liquor Licenses.

To the Editor of The Evening star:
The liquor dealers Of South Washington seem
to be very uncomfortable lust now, and are
rallying for the final charge. Having shifted
from one plan to another in their attempts to
gain signatures to their licenses, they have. to
great extent, changed from entreaty to in
limitation. One Of the subjects chosen fc- this
new role is Mr.. James Lee, a member Of the
church Of which am pastor. and who is also a
leader, residing at No. sos Sd street southwest.
In this particular case saloon keeper visited
Mr.. Lee and failed to secure his signature
Nothing daunted, he calls IN a South Washington
real estate dealer and they two make the final
charge. They begin BY quoting Scripture and
repeating the Golden Rule" But being more
expert in selling land and mixing drinks than
Interpreting the Scripture, they failed to bring
Mr.. Lee to their point Of view. Finding how
ever, that Dir. Lee still held his ground, the
real estate dealer grows restless and rises in
haste and, going to the door, gives Mr. Lee-his
tenant-to understand that if he Lee) chooses
to withhold his signature the house was his
and he would have the one or the other The
same scheme has been attempted with another
tenant on the opposite side of the street.
It has been declared that IL the church people
withhold their names from these liquor License
applications the saloons would grow amazingly
slow. For the good Of the home, the church,
the community, the city, it is well worth the
1uo sdlOOu Iutu 0uOeaVOE 10 OOtoln SIG
natures Of members of the churches by telling
them that their pastors name Is on their appli-
cation, urging them to follow him" It is
needless for me to say that to q certain extent
they succeed. especially among that class who
can neither read nor write and who, at the same
time repose all confidence in their spiritual adj
visers and the oily words of the liquor dealer
know not to what extent my name. as pastor,
has been circulated, but l desire to give it to
the world to know that now, henceforth and
forever l am opposed to the9iquor traffic, and
by pen and tongue shall do all in my power
to check that monster that is dealing poverty,
shame and death to mankind.
II there are any in this great capitol city Of
the nation who have doubts as to the extent Of
the injury the liquor dealers of this southwest
section OF cur city are inficting they have but
TO spend few hours in driving through these
streets any day-Sunday not excepted-and
wherever you find a church, know then that
saloons abound in tho vicinity In the name

spark OF love for mankind and their well-beinR
stand against this foe. FRANCIS H. HILL.
