Republican at o5 Years.

Old Uncle Joe Hodgson of North
MankatO, 90 years of age, walked to
the polls Tuesday to cast his vote for
the straight Republican ticket and
after doing so walked back to his
home. The dear old man refused to
ride either way, claiming that he was
amply able to go on foot. The cleo
tion returns will no doubt give him as
much enjoyment as they will any man
living.

of Group is hoarseness. In a child

North MankatO to Have Other Things

H. P. christensen yesterday sold to
the Swedish Congregational Mission
Society 80 feet of lot 5, block 6, in
North Mankato, for $3.50. This figure
is by no means at par with the other
land values in the vicinity, as Mr..
Christensen made considerable of a
sacrifice on account of the prospec-

to be commenced at once, and it will
be carried on until Christmas when
the first church services are expected
to be held.
Mr. Christensen states that other

AN ODD HINDoo CUSTOM.
Old Men Go to Jail TO Atone for the
Crimes of the Young.

Old Men Go to Jail to Atone for tho
Crimes of tho Young.
A student of life and manners in the
Punjaub has been struck by the large
proportion of very old men in the
Indian jails, says the London News.
In the prison at Mooltan there were
last year seventeen life prisoners
whose total ages were found to amount
to more than eleven hundred years
two of them being patriarchs of up
ward of eighty. The remarkable fact
is attributed partly to the great i'm
provement in the economy of Indian
jails, since the exposure of their mis-
management some years ago, but more
directly to the prevalent practice
when crime has been committed of
handing over the least useful member
of the family as sort of vicarious
offering to justice.
On this point the inspector general
of Indian prisons observes that the
confinement which conviction entails
is of course less irllsomc 10 the aged
than to the young. Moreover" he
continued, 'the people know that a
specially comfortable place in the
shape of good food, ample clothing, a
special dietary, the lightest of work,
and society not entirely uncongenial
awaits the old man in our jails." a
case has been cited in which man
had been strangled The person to
whom the crime, by his own confess
sion. was brought home was n feeble
old fellow who had been paralyzcd in
both arms for twenty years. and could
not have committed the crime. But
as his family all said he did it and he
himself said he did, and there were
plenty of EYE witnesses" the old ma N
went cheerfully to Jail and lies there

The Perfect Ear.

In McClure's Magazine Prof. Henry
Drummond discusses the question of
where man got his cars. Nature, he
holds, seldom makes anything new;
her method of creation is to adopt
something old. So when land animals
were determined on, and nature started
out to manufacture ears for them, she
made them out of old breathing appa-
ratus She saw, Prof. Drummond con-
tends, that If water could pass through
q hole in the neck, such as fishes have,
sound could pass likewise, thereupon
she brought certain species adapted to
her purpose to shore, and set to work
upon the five gill-slits and elaborated
the whole in a hearing organ This
was not quick process, but the slow
labor of ages, but finally was produced
the perfect ear, and man was not Gre
ated until the work was done.

FROZEN AIR.
Varying Atnosphsrso Conditions Above
the Earth.

Varying Atnosphsrto Conditions Absvs
the Earth.
The recent experiments In France In
measuring the temperature of tho
higher regions of the atmosphere by
means of balloons furnished with au-
tomato recording instruments have
suggested the question whether the air
continues to be ''air," In the sense in
which we understand IL, at very
great elevation from the earth. Tho
diminution of temperature Is SO rapid
rs TO indicate that in interstellar space
II must sink at least as low rs four
hundred and fifty or five hundred de-
grees Fahrenheit below zero, and per-
haps much lower.
But at far less extreme degrees of
cold than these, oxygen and nitrogen,
the principal constituents of air, have
been experimentally liquefied and sol
idified. What then is the condition OF
the air at heights where the tempera-
turc is so low?
NJ. de Fouviellc answers that the air
there closes it's gaseous condition and
becomes changed into series of mi
mute crystals or drops which follow the
earth in its motion through space, and
are constantly vaporized when falling
in regions where the temperature is
somewhat above their point of liquefac-
ton or evaporation"
What an astonishing thing, in its eff
fects, is temperature! On the earth
iron is solid, in the sun it is vapor;
temperature makes the difference.
At the equator water is always q
liquid, in the polar regions much of it
is continually solid-difference of
temperature again.
The air we live in is gaseous at and
near the surface of the globe. but, if
de Fouviclle is right, at an elevation of
few miles above the ground air is
either liquid or solid, or both. And
once again variation of temperature
plays the chief part in producing diff
ferences of condition.

AN unplsAsANT COUNTRY.

ssme Of the Objections to Living II North
ern Borneo.
The northern half of the island Of
Borneo Is the queerest and most I'M
satisfactory place to live that one can
imagine, thinks the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. II Is land of constant re-
curing phenomena, where cyclones
are frequent and deluges of water very
common. The vegetation In that half
is very fine, but in all probability the
widest and most tangled on earth
not even excepting that of Africa. Tho
cause of all the trouble is the shallow
condition of the sea north Of II, great
shoals of sand existing q few miles out
which extend along its entire northern
length. These shoals are covered by .
depth Of water not over five feet deep
The constantly recurring winds that
blow in that climate change to hurri-
canes and sweep the smaller islands OF
all visible life. When such storm
strikes the sand shoals north of Bor-
neo it sweeps up the shallow salt water
in its course and drenches the island
with it. Often 1t gathers up sand,
great masses of 1t, from the clear
swept shoal and whirls 1t for miles
high over the island, carrying IL into
the island and scattering 1t every
where The work of these storms does
not always end with that Entire
shoals of fish, of all sizes, have been
swept up time and again by the fierce
wind with the water and sand and
scattered about Borneo. In some places
the ground would be literally covered
with fish, enough to supply heavy
population for weeks. But such luck
is no reparation for the evil the winds
do, and consequently the northern half
will never be inhabited by those who
value their lives.

UNLUCKY GEMS IN AMERICA.

They Have Mt Least Made Fortunes for

Opals have proved bonanza down
in New Mexico, where two localities
are worked, one near Los Ccrrillos and
the other in Grant county. says the St
Louis Globe-Dem ocrat. The former
has been worlic d for many centuries
probably, as hundreds of stone haIn-
mers are found scattered about tho
place. The mining has been done by
means of n shaft sunk scvcnty-fivc feet.
Mt the bottom of which is n lode run
ming nearly east and west. Thousands
of stones were obtained during the last
two years, according to Mr. Kunz.
many of them of fine blue color, quite
equal to the best Persian. A single
stone has been sold for about four
thousand dollars. The discoveries
have proved specially valuable at a
time when the Persian mines have al
most ceased to yield. The stones from
the Grant county mines are not an
ideal turquoise blue, but are often
slightly tinted with green. heap of
debris, fifty feet in height, and guam
titles of small fragments of wcathered
turquoise show that this locality, like
the other, was extensively worked by
the aborigines. The use made of these
stones by the natives is said to be part
ly religious. Opal raining has proved
profitable ut Whelan, WASH, where
this gem was first found by Yonlsers
jeweler in heap of rock thrown out
during the excavation for well.
These fine opals vary in size from half
n pea to n hens egg, the emaller ones
being frequently of very rich colors.
The locality where they are found is
known as Gem City now, possibly from
the fact that settlement of twenty
miners has been formed at the mine.
