Pop Idlocy.

From the Kansas city Gazette.
Since the Pops came into power in
Kansas the capital of the state seems to
be breeding place for idiocy. 1cu can
safely look for some evidences OF lunacy

beats them. They must pay for the

A SUBLIME STRUCTURE.
The Hottest and Most Famous OF the
EarlY Rnddhist Shrines.

=
Early Buddhist Shrires.
One of the most beautiful as well
as the hottest and most famous Of
the few surviving Buddhist shrines of
long ago is the Temple of the Tree, at
Buddha-Gaya, near Patna. Bengal,
which was once the center of the Budd-
hist religion, and is still a place Of
pious pilgrimage The temple is now
occupied by a Brahmin college. but
movement is on foot among followers
of Buddha all the world over to es-
tablish a Buddhist college there and
restore the ancient shrine To believers
of the primitive faith.
The temple is square, with a pro-
jecting porch, and from its top scars
skyward a pyramidal tower OF nine
stories, all profusely embeIlished with
a graceful upper pinnacle and gold
final. A small tower stands at each
corner of the roof of the lower strue-
ture, and there is a broad walk about
the base of the great tower Over the
porch which fronts the east a trianp1l-
lar aperture IS pierced whereby the
glory of the morning sun NAV fail

CRANKISM IN ART.

Another Kansas woman, hitherto I'm.
known outside of her local circle of ac-
quaintances, has suddenly burst upon
the worlds gaze with a notoriety- provok-
ing scheme that promises to at least tenn
porarily satisfy her ambition. Her name
is Mrs. Henrietta Briggs Wall, and her
device is in the form of large painting
designed by herself, though executed by
named Ford. The picture is intended to
be used as an object lesson IN the interest
and for the advancement of the cause of
woman suffrage. The picture is thus
described:
In the center is an excellently well
executed likeness of Miss Frances T.
Willard, whose name is world famous
AS that of a leader in the cause of tenn
perance, and an earnest fighter for
woman suffrage. IL the left upper cor
ner Is the face of a typical idiot, with his
low and retreating forehead presented
in all its responsiveness. In the right
upper corner is seen a convict whose
hardened face glares at Its beholderS in a
manner familiar to all who have had to

low him is such picture of an insane
person as to give an impressionable per-
son the nightmare. At his left. finally,
there proudly stands the dethroned ruler
OF the American forests, an Indian chief
in all the glory of his paraphernalia of
war. The inscription reads, "these are
the peers of women"
The picture Is conspicuously posted in
the state building at the worlds fair
where it cannot fail to catch the eyes of
all who visit the building. The concep-
ton and execution of the piece is simply
a demagogic appeal to the prejudices of
the people, thereby making converts, if
possible, and however unwilling and
against the better Judgment of the indi-
vidual, to cause that has not the merit
10 win by appealing to reason.
The exhibition of the picture in the
Kansas building at the worlds fair is
out of place, to speak of it no
more harshly. 1t is purely political, aud
n measure commits the state. in the

woman suffrage, making the

THE SLOW STEAMSHIP.
Some of the Advantages 1t Possesses Ov
the Ocean Greyhound.

Some of the Advantages 1t Possesses Over
the Ocean Greyhound.
The slower-going steamer. say of
three hundred to three hundred and
fifty miles day, has decided advan-
tages over the racer. To attain a high
speed enormous propelling power is re-
quired, and the ocean greyhound is
like a great machine shop, the pulsa-
tions of the machinery Earring every
portion of the boat. To double the
speed, says the Baltimore Sun, of
vessel at sea, the power must be cubed.
The vessel to plow through the water
at twenty-four miles per hour must
displace twice as much water in an
hour as ii does when going at twelve
miles per hour. That would require
twice the power. But in addition to
this the water must be displaced in
half the time and that requires the
power to be doubled again. So that
vessel which would consume five tons
of coal in an hour going at the rate of
twelve miles would consume. all other
conditions being equal, twenty tons
per hour if the speed is increased to
twenty-fOur miles. After all there are
attractions in the old style of going to
sea. with its leisureIv gait. it's perfect
rest, its absolute change from all the
conditions of life on land. which are
superior, in the judgment of many peo-
pie. to the FIVE or six days of hotel life
between New York and Liverpool on
one of the liners"

In Kansas there are about eleven
miles of railway for every 100 square
miles, being about double the average of
the United States. Kansas has about
sixty miles of railway for every 10000
people, being considerable more than
double that of the average of the United
States. The Atchison Champion con-
cludes:
Upon the basis of square miles and
population, Kansas has more average Of
railway mileage than any of the ten
groups of states shown by the census
report. This, in a large measure, shows
why railway earnings in Kansas are not
up to the average"

THE ATTRACTIONS OF GOLF.
