Special Dispatch 10 the Daily Eagle.
TOPEKA, Aug. 20.-All eyes, among the
politicians in Kansas, are turned to the
meeting of the German-American League
which meets in Salina, September 4.
The reason there is so much interest in
this convention is that the leaders of the
league have given it out that the sole bus
mess in hand is to determine where to
throw the league vote at the next election.
They claim %. 900 votes in Kansas, and
they are going to resolve that these votes
shall 20 to the political organization
which nearest represents the views of the
members of the league.
II is thought here that there is not much
doubt but that the league will indOrse the
state Democratic ticket, because of Over
meyers anti prohibition views.
It is understood that the Popuists have
had several emiss aries treating with the
Germans, but they were repulsed by the
statement that no man from the Father
land would think OF supporting u party
which stood for female suffrage.
W hat Is exercising the politicians more
than anything else, however, is the ques-
ton whether the Germans will carry their
endorsement to the county ticket. If they
DO, II Is going TO cut an important figure
IN the election. They have an organiza-
ton in siXty-siX out Of the los counties in
the state, and in close counties their en-
dorsement would be worth great deal by
the party receiving it and dreaded by
those whom they oppose.

TALOGA, 0. T., Aug. 20.-Something en-
tirely new in the way OF agricultural an
noyances has been met in this vicinity,
and it has assumed such alarming proper
tions that united effort on the part of
. the farmers TO fight IL viii undoubtedly
be necessary. The difficulty is none other
than the coyotes yearGing for water mel
ons It is a lately developed aud newly
acquired yearning IN the stomachs of the
veiping jackal and nothing but good, red
water melon will allay the inner pang.
The country surrounding this place is
new and the coyotes never saw such 4
thing as a water melon before this sum
mer. But some investigating spirit
amoug them went in TO probe melon aud
liked il.
This discovery has spread with wild
lapidity seemingly.
Coyotes are increasing in numbers al
most nightly, and undoubtedly come in as
far as Beaver county.
At this time of the year all the prairie
ponds dry up and these animals become
rabid with thirst. IL is supposed that il is
the water inside the melons which brings
the wolves here in such numbers.
1t is no Joke with the settlers here. The
melon crop Is large and lucrative one,
and the number of melons "A pack of ten
coyotes can make away with in a single
night Is amazing.
The farmers are talking about organic
ing a big round up and running all the
coyotes into a center and killing them as
Jack rabbits are done away with in CalIfor.
MA. L D IN Kansas q bounty Is given for
every coyote scalp, but that is not the case
In the territory, aud the farmer will get
nothing extra for his work.

THE FALLING APPLE.
a New Theory Which Promises to Eelipse
That of Sir Isaac Newton.

While Sir Isaac Newton was idly wan
6ering his way through the shady avenues
OF an apple orchard but a few centuries
back his silent thoughts were abruptly
disturbed by a sharp crack upon his
Uranium.
On recovering his senses he discovered
that large, ripe descendant of the for
hidden fruit had become detached from a
well laden branch and for some unknown
reason had made its way toward the
ground, though incidentally meeting with
an obstacle which retarded its course.
This simple incident set Mr.. Newton to
thinking, and he wondered why the apple
should fall downward and not upward.
This gave rise to additional meditation,
while others took up the study, and il was
finally cOnterded that there was a force
which caused all things to sink to the earth,
and so, upon Sir Isaac's discovery, the
laws of attraction and gravitation were
founded until now the Newtonian theory
is recognized in physics as a scientific
truth.
Robert Stevenson, in a recent lecture
before the Academy of Science, made it
known that the illustrious Isaac was
not in it, - so to speak, and that his theory
as regards the falling Of an apple down
ward was simply the product Of a diseased
imagination.
Mr.. Stevenson does not hold that an
apple should make its way heavenward 10
feed the angels, but contends that the
Newtonian laws have nothing TO do with
the production of the laws of gravitation,
and that if the world revolved at a greater
velocity than its present limit the inhab-
itants thereon would be enabled to walk
about in the air without the least incoE
venience, while apples would fall upward,
downward, eastward, westward or any
other direction, at the mercy of the wind.
He further contended that horizontal
bar would reach the ground much quicker
than falling body and concluded by stat
ing upon authority that the common say
ing, tho sun rises" or the sun SETS is
positively false, as the sun Is quite sta
tionary, while it is the earth that revolves
once every "a hours, thus meeting the sun

LEAVES AND RAIN.
Methods by which Plants Dispose of an En-
cess of Water.


Mr. f. Stahl has been making n study
of leaf forms in relation 10 the rainfall,
chiefly in the Botanic gardens Of Buitsn-
zorg, and he says that, while large leaf
surface partly provides for the removal OF
water by Transportation, there are other
distinct methods by which plants arc
helped to dispose of any excess Of water
accommodating upon them as speedily as
possible. One Of these is the adoption 81
the sleeping position by leaves, such as
those of the sensitive plant, so that when
the horizontal leaves bend upward the
raindrops run off by the base Of the leaf
Most frequently. however, excessive mois-
ture is drained on by long points 10 the
leaves. These points occur on the lOhes of
divided leaves, but are most remarkable
on long ovate leaves
In some plants the prolonged midrib has
the form Of a wide channel, but generally 10
is that Of a tapering and narrow point,
slightly curved at the end. As the water
trickles down the inclined narrow points
il passes from the upper 10 the under sur
face before dropping from the leaf, and the
bent tip accelerates this action. Stshl
tested this theory by experiments and
found shat the leaves Of Justicia piCta
which he carefully rounded retained mols-
ture for an hour, while those with the drop
ping points left on were dry in 20 minutes
or less. This rapid removal Of water from
the leaf hghtens Its weight, helps tran
spiration and cleanses the surface. In
verifcation Of this we arc reminded that
after shower the pointed leaves OF tho
ash, willow, etc, have had the dust quite
washed out, while rounded leaves like
those Of the oak are still dirty.-Garden
