John Cregar of Chicago left some mill
lions of money to establish popular
library" and the trustees have decided
that it shall have for a basis works on the
ology, biblical history and criticism, exc
geties, ethics, morals and philosophy.
With this showing of what Chicago con-
siders to be popular literature, we have no
longer any wonder that her society people
prefer to talk about packing pork.

were gracefully curved and tapering. The legs
were drawn up as though under the influence
of swiftly directed postofiice stamp and the
back jointed from head to tail.
'This insect" said Professor Beutenm uller,
"comes under the head OF Thysanura, this
special insect being Of the Poduride Burme1ster
family They are closely related TO the sugar
runners and springtails The springtails are
the typical Thysanura. The anal bristles are
united and bent beneath the body, forming the
spring by which they leap to prodigious heights
for such minute things.
''The body is cylindrical not hattened, COW
cred with bristles. The mouth parts are well
developed with minute teeth. The legs are
stout, and the abdomen consists of six, some
times three, segments They are found IN
gardens or hotbeds, on manure heaps and on
the snow. There are many different species,
and all have different habits On the glaciers
of the Alps the snow species is to be found. The
facility with which they leap is source OF
grief to many patient collectors.
''These curious little creatures occur every
where except in dry places. They take up their
abode under stones, and hide beneath mush-
rooms and in damp, grassy spots. Often they
leap together in the air, looking like shower
of sand. They are very prolific, 1860 eggs hay
ing been found in a single one. The embryo
develops in twelve days and they mott often
at periods of fourteen days"
Professor Beutenmuller told me that all of
the insect showers reported from different
places are result of the Matching out of num-
bers of these insects. In the Wurtsboro case,
he said, they had probably come from some
nearby stable or damp place.
| Hiram Maxim, the inventor of the famous
gun which bears his name. is firm believer in
! the possibility of so far perfecting flying
machines that they may be used in warfare.
He has been explaining his views on this sub
| ject to a contributor to Casselrs Saturday
| Journal, who has been to see him at his English
residence at Bexley. Mr.. Maxim thinks that
| highly civilized nations, able to make and use
| frst-rate machinery, will in the near future
utilize flying machines in their armies This
mode of warfare, he believes could be
carried on in spite of ornaments and
weapons of war as we understand them now,
and ii one civilized nation used flying machines
| in such a way, others would be compelled to
| follow suit. At the same time he has no faith
in navigable balloons, the whole thing being
| inherently wrong. In France especially at
| tempts have been made to navigate balloons,
and vast sums of money have been spent upon
them; but no balloon has ever been nayigated
| against even a very light wind.
Another point, Mr.. Maxim thinks. is this,
| that man will never be able to fly by energy de-
rived from his own muscles. a man with suf-
| ficient energy would have to weigh seventy
| five pounds to have forty-pound muscles to his
arms and seventy-pound muscles to his chest,
and he would have to have breastbone
| twenty-eight inches deep

scenes. The senate met at 10 o'clock and
after the usual formalities Eggleston in

was unan imously adopted on q motion by

In the house the excitement was SO
great over the Butte tregedy that IL was

GREAT FALLS SYMPATHY
The Terrible Tragedy in Butte The
Sole Topic.
ANXIOUS FOR THE NEWS
The People OF Cascade We're Pro-
foundry Impressed With the
Details Of the Awful
Catastrophe.

GREAT FALLS, Jan. 16.-There was an
unusual crowd at the depot this after
noon when the train arrived from Butte,
II having become known that some of the
cars that were shook up by last nights
explosion would form part of the train.
The sleeper and some of the coaches we're
indeed a sight. Nearly all of the windows
in the latter looked as though q cyclone
struck them. The passengers had the
shade blinds drawn and we're doing the
best they could under the circumstances
to keep warm. 1t is understood cars will
be supplied with new windows at Havre,
the same having been ordered from the
shops at St. Cloud.
Never before in the history of Great
Falls has anything of the kind called
forth so many expressions of profound
sympathy. The terrible tragedy was the
talk of the town all day. 1t is hardly
necessary to state that the STANDARD of
of to-day was in great demand and sold
like the proverbial hot cakes. Many of
the unfortunates who were killed were
we'll known here, some of them having
at one time lived in this city.
The news of the terrible affair reached
here soon after its occurrence in rather
an accidental manner. The Rocky Noun
tain Telegraph Office was closed. the oper-
ator having retired earlier than usual, and
as the Butte end of the Montana Central
Telegraph company was wrecked, there
was no telegraph communication between
this city and the great camp.
Shortly after the worst explosion the
operator at Elk Park, 10 miles this side of
Butte, who it seems was awakened from
a snoze by the shock, ran to the key and
calling up the Great Falls operator, asked
if there had been an earthquake. The
latter replied, mot here; call up Butte"
In a second the Elk Park man wired
back, cant raise him; something must
have happened"
This alarmed the operator on this end
and he sent a messenger to hunt up the
manager of the Rocky Mountain line. The
latter was aroused and Fastening to the Of
fee he gave to Superintendent McLaren
and others a brief detail of the accident.
The superintendent also succeeded in
getting additional facts from Major Daw-
son, and at once left for Butte on a spe-
cial train, accompanied by Trainmaster
Kelly and others.
special from Sun River says that the
shock was plainly felt there. B. A. Rob-
ertson and L. Loomis were sitting in the
formers store. They felt the building
give and FASTENED out, thinking they had
passed through an earthQu IKE.

he citizens Of Butte are raising
funds rapidly for the benefit of the
families of those who persisted in the
explosion. The city of Butte is not
soliciting aid from other parts of the
state yet, undoubtedly, there are many
people in Montana who, under the cir
cumstances, would be glad to give ex-
preston to their feeling of sympathy
by contributing to this fund. Those
who are of this mind may leave con-
tributions at the STANDARD Office in
Missoula or at the STANDARD Office in
Great Falls, or send remittances either
to the home Office in this city or to the
Butte office of the STANDARD All
subscriptions received at any of the
offices of the STANDARD will be prop
erly acknowledged and promptly put
into the hands of the treasurer of the
fund in Butte
