Mayor Swift, of Chicago, has ap-
pointed Miss Jane Addams, of that city,

look after the collection and removal of
garbage and see that the contractor
performs his work properly. Miss Ad-
dams put in bid for removing garbage
herself during the administration of
the recent mayor, but her bid was dis
regarded. Her new appointment, while
not giving her the chance to do the
work herself, will enable her to watch
it and show how efficient woman may
become in overseeing municipal work.

WEIGHING A PLANET.
Registering the Minute Parts of
Grain and Inch.

London Graphic.
When Newton set himself to find
the law by which an apple falls to the
earth and the planets reVoIVe at vary
ing speeds along their orbits. he con-
structed formula which would ex-
plain these phenomena. He laid it
down as a law that the force with
which the earth attracts the apple. or
the apple the earth, or the planets one
another, is equal to the mass of the
one multiplied by the mass of the
other and divided by the square of
the distance between them-the whole
multiplied by constant called C.
% is the Newtonian constant of
graVitatfon; it is of all the constants
the most important to physical sci
ence; 1T is a constant for the more
accurate determination of which Prof.
Boys, who lectured upon it on Mon
day 'at the London institute, has been
willing to spend five years of the most
arduous and minute observation. 1t is
100 years ago since the Rev. Mr..
Mitchell first devised an instrument by
which 1t would be possible to obtain by
actual observation the attraction
which two bodies have one for another.
Cavendish improved upon MitcheIPs
L.
Boys has, so to speak, carried it two
decimal places further. Now let us con-
slider how it would be possible to ascer-
tain, by observation, the attraction two
bodies have for one another. If Prof.
Boys were to hang a couple of fifty
pound lead balls bye two fibers, he
would find it impossible to measure the
inclination of the two fibers to one an
other consequent upon the attraction,
of the two balls to one another, so as to
weigh a sunbeam. But there is posi-
bic way of measuring the attraction,
and Prof. Boys has made it possible, or
let US say more practical, by the en-
ployment of quartz fibers to suspend
some of the balls he uses. He
uses in all four balls-two gold balls,
a quarter of an inch in diameter,
weighing forty or fifty grains, and
two lead balls, four and a quarter
inches in diameter, and weighing each
sixteen pounds.
Now suppose these four balls, in

LEGISLATORS AS PATRIOTS.
They VIII Visit the Soldiers
Home Today

Both branches of the legislature will
observe this as holiday, out OF re-
spect to the memory of the great eman-
cipator and commoner, Abraham Lin
coin. 1t is the anniversary Of his
birth. and, although the legislature
deemed it prudential, for business rea-
sons, to defer making it a holiday until
next year., yet, as a precedent Oh pa
triotism. they will refrain from legis-
lative business and put in the day in
fitting way There will not even be
any committee work. During the day
they will be guests at the soldiers
home at the historic Minnehaha Falls,
and in the evening they will join with
the public in listening to an address
upon the life and character of the
martyr president in the hall Of the
house of representatives, delivered by
Dr. Forbes, chaplain of the senate.
The lecture will be free, and the public
is invited.
Today is the occasion of the regular
semi-annual meeting of the soldiers
home trustees. Capt Huntington, of
Redwood Falls and other members of
the board from the state at large, are

ing and to entertain the members OF
the legislature, who will be guests of
the home. At II o'clock this morning,
there will be two special Interurban
cars at the capitol, for the accommo-
dalton of the members and senators
who will go to the home, by way of
Minneapolis. Dinner will be served,
and, in addition to an opportunity to
inspect this institution, the lawmak-
ers will be handsomely entertained.
Such an observance of the day will
make the senators and representa-
tives more patriotic, and they will be
better prepared to resume their duties
tomorrow.
A considerable number of the sena-
tors did not take advantage of the
vacation and go home, but remained in
the city, and were found at their desks
yesterday, in the senate chamber, at
tending to their correspondence and
coming over bills and legislative do
ings. Others returned to the city last
evening, and will join with the gath
ering at Minnehaha today.

the year than the Tupelo trees,
''Nysse sylvatica." The rich scarlet
crimson of the foliage is not equaled
by any other tree There is a great
variety in the habits of the trees, de-
pending in a great measure on sexual
characteristics. A large number of
trees have only male flowers, and these
trees never reach the large proportions
and noble appearance that the berry
bearing trees do. The blue berries give
the tree an additional attraction, as
whenever an individual specimen
proves fruitful, the numerous berries
make a pretty contrast with the BRILL
liant color of the autumn foliage. I'm
fortunately, there is no way to distin-
guish the character of the tree until
it comes into bearing, so that planters
have to run their risk. 1t was at one
time supposed that the tree was diff
ficult to transplant. This was chiefly
from experience with trees taken from
the woods. Seeding trees raised in
nurseries, and transpIanted as other
nursery trees are before they are sold,
move as well as the average of trees.

THE CUSTOMS OFFICER.
Many Devices ResOrted To to

Many Devices ResOrted To to
Cheat Him.
The devices which smuggIers
have resorted to in order to pass
the custom house inspectors are
quite as ingenious as those of crimi-
nails seeking to escape from jail, says
the st. Louis POst-Dispatch. Me-
chanical appliances of all kinds have
been invented in which to conceal
cOntraband articles. One of the
most remarkable of these is a Bible
followed out inside so that a number
of valuable watches could be con-
cealed among the leaves. This was
carried under the arm by a solemn
viSaged and reverend-iOoking gentle
man with white whiskers He
took passage on a channel steamer
for England, and was noted among
his fellow passengers for the care
and attachment he displayed
toward the holy Book. The man
turned out to be a notorious snug
gler, who, in a small way, had for
years been defrauding the revenue
by bringing in articles supposed to
pay duty. Several loaves of bread
A4OA4OMCd O4l lAlo4IC ~ cSO " CO1ll11l
cigars have also lately been seized,
and from the same gang OF snug
glers was taken a concertina filed
with choice Havana cigars, upon
which a high duty would have to
be paid if brought in in the ordinary
way.
Another equally bold attempt ID
pass the customs inspectors was
made by a handsome woman, who
expressed great indignation when
it was proposed to search her per-
son. She said that she had been
insulted. but the officials had reason
to suspect her. When her corset
was taken off it was found to contain
numerous pockets filled with CONTRA
band goods. This article of attire
now reposes in a curious little col
lection of smugglers' devices which
the British authorities are constant
ly adding to. One of these appli-
ances, which is believed to have done
much duty in the hands of SNUG
glers, is a can with numerous rings,
made to tow overheard from the
stern of a steamer. 1t was water
tight, and contained a large guam
tity Of cigars when captured. An
oil can with a chamber to contain
brandy was also taken from one of
the engineers of an incoming
steamer.
Perhaps one of the boldest de-
vices was bogus log of wood. or
rather log which had been followed
out, and was found kicking about
harmlessly upon the deck of a
steamer. 1t was closely packed
with cigars. Imitation Jumps of coal
have also been made for this pur-
pose, and these, painted black, have
been almost impossible of detection.
1t was a good joke on the smugglers.
however, when one of these got lost
in load of coal, and the fine cigars
which 1t contained ultimately went
up in smoke through the furnace of
the steamer.

AN INLAND SEA.

st Louis Republic.
According to the engineers of the
photographic bureau the level of the
Gulf of Mexico is one foot higher
than it was in 1859, and. of course,
the encrOachment on the surround
ing coasts has been greater or less,
pending on their character In some
places, wher the marginal lands
are composed of high, rocky bluffs.
this change of level has gone on
from year to year without attract
ing attention. On the other hand,
many lOW-lying points (some that
were once inhabited by the primi-
tive inhabitants or by the pioneer
white settlers) are entirely sub
merged.
The cause of this change of level
has not as yet been ascertained, but
it is reasonably certain that it is the
result of either a settling of the dry
land or Of a general and uniform
rising or upheaval in the gulf bed.
No man who has given the matter
a moments thought will argue that
there is more water in the gulf now
than there was thirty-five years ago.
On the contrary, there ism t the least
doubt hut that there is much less.
However, this may be, if this aque-
Gus encrOachment is steadily MAIN
tanned, keOkuk will be a deep water
harbor, and st. Louis and the whole
Of Missouri will be entirely SUBJ

A COMPREHENSIVE BILL.
Rates to Be Specified in the Acts,
and Roads Brought to Time.

and Roads brought 10 Ilme.
Tomorrow's session of the senate will
be a busy one. There are number of
bills on general orders, and a number
of new ones have been prepared for in
PRODUCTION. One of the most important
bills, in course of preparation, to be in
troduced in the senate is one relating to
railroads. There is a general demand
all over the state for measure that
will regulate to some purpose, the
freight and passenger rates. Not only
the farmers, but the business men as
well, are growing weary of the policy
of the railroad and warehouse COM
mission. They realize that this board
is but a means of shelving the COM
plants of the general public, and, to-
gether with the hiding of bills in COM
mittees, effectually shuts off relief from
the people. There is a general demand
for a regulation of rates that will regu-
late and not sidetrack just complaints
and efforts to secure something in the
interest of the public.
The proposed bill will classify rail-
roads according to their earnings and
mileage, and will also classify the mer-
chandise and articles of shipment A
schedule of rates will be fixed in the
bill, making several classifications, and
fixing a minimum price to be,cha~ ged by
the several classes of roads, according
to different classes of freight and the
comparative distance to be hauled. The
bill will also make a classification of
passenger rates. An effort will be
made to secure the passage of this bill,
and to defeat the purpose of the rail
roads in having all proposed legislation
buried or nullified by changes in the
interest of the roads. A gentleman, in
speaking of the measure, said that the
time has come for action by the people,
through their representatives, and it is
proposed to check the monopoIistic
tendencies of the common carriers.

Capt. Terry to Have Command Of
the Cup Defender.

NEW YORK, Feb. n.-An evening
paper says: 1.-The old sea sharp, Capt.
Terry, has been engaged to sail the
cup defender of 1895. 1t is said that in
many respects he is the superior of
Capt. Hanson, who sailed the Vigil
liant. His superiority at the tiller is
admired, and he is considered a great
judge of wind, and knows better when
to bring the yacht about than any
other yachtsman. He is also without
a peer as a trimmer of sails. 1t is not
news to those who were on the Vigi-
liant when she vanquished Lord Dun
ravens boat in 1898 that Capt. Terry
had been secured to sail the cup de-
fender. He held a subordinate posi-
ton on the Vigilant on that occasion,
but it was known among the members
of the Vigilant syndicate that Capt.
Terry's opinion was treated with the
greatest respect, and that his views
were sought after on all occasions"
