Tho gradually spreading renown of Koo.
tenay brings us many letters of inquiry as
to its capabilities from all sorts and con-
ditions Of people in the United States.
With praiseworthy honesty these good
folk nearly always inclose 2 cent United
States stamp to pay the cost of reply. We
have often heard Britishers called down
for living up to the belief that they were
tho people and that their language and
their sovereigns were good all the world
over. A large experience teaches us that
tho Britisher is very nearly right, but his
pride is nothing to the humble confidence
which SO firmly believes In the universal
omnipotence Of the United States postage
stamp One almost hesitates to break the
spell Of such simplicity by telling our
cousins to save their cents because these
stamps are of no earthly use outside of
their own country. Nelson Miner.

"The teams are we'll matched"
1t was q comment made on the baseball
grounds.
Two forces pitted against one another,
each the result Of q long system Of rigorous
training, and, apparently, each the equal
OF the other. Whichever won, the other
would not be disgraced by heavy odds.
Instead of having perfect play Of every
muscle and every faculty alive to the com.
ing action, how would 1t seem for one
team to go on the field blindfolded and
with hands pinioned to the sides and ten
pound balls chained to the supple ankles'
Yet in the game Of life how many ar
obliged to take their stand and play their
part blindfolded by ignorance, pinioned
by narrow environments and chained to
the great ball Of i'll health or disgrace at
tached to their ankles by selfish ancestry
And they go on struggling under the
soorohing sun Of the worlds disapproval,
each hour scoring point against them,
until at nightfall they retire from the field
yanquished and respondent, to sink into
an obscure grave.
Yet believe that somewhere our limita.
lions are understood and that the record OF
our winnings is set down, not according
to our visible successes but to the strength
and continuance of our struggles.-New
York Herald.

PRIZE FIGHTING ILLEGAL.


Austin, Tex, July ib-Attorney Gen
eral Crane today gave out bis opinion in
the Corbett- Fitzsimmons fight case at
Dallas In October. The opinion Is in u
reply to an inquiry from the Dallas county
attorneys as to whether the law enacted
In 1891 prohibiting prize fighting was
valid and operative.
The attorney general holds that the law
Of 1901 was and still Is operative. Tho at
torney general contends that according
10 the contention of those who believe that
the statute against prize fighting 10 void
on account Of Its declaration that the
crime Is felony and is punishable as q
misdemeanor and Is applied thereto, the
statute would be perfect II the word mis-
demeanor could be substituted for the
word felony" He says further:
1.-THE validity OF the act In question Ia
not affected by the revision Of the code.
The civil code passed the legislature be-
fore the penal code did, and not after
wards. This law being valid, 1t Is the
duty Of the sheriff Of Dallas county to see
that 1t Ia enforced. He Is the authority,
and We will look to him to see that the
law Is enforced"

A HORSE AND A MULE.
Proposition to Join Gas and Steam En-
CINE Together.


CINE Together.
Referring to the discussion OF the gas
engine question, q prominent engineer re-
marked in conversation that he failed 10
sec why the gas engine and the steam en-
CINE should not be compounded, so to
speak.
He put the case something in this man
ner In the gas engine one of the problems
is to keep the cylinder reasonably cool and
in the steam engine to keep the cylinder
hot. Now, suppose we have a gas engine
running and jacket its cylinder with wa
ter, which is then used for boiler feed wa
ter, thus saving the heat which is now
thrown away. Then take the exhaust
from the gas engine through the jacket of
tho steam cylinder, and II necessary, as it
probably would BIO, add heating chamber
for the steam to pass through just before
reaching the cylinder, SO that more heat
ing surface could be employed.
Two such engines adapted to each other
would probably mean relatively small
gas engine and steam engine large
enough to carry all the load in case the
gas engine refused to work for any reason,
and arranged in this way each would sup
plement the other so far as the proper dis
tribution Of heat Is concerned The propo-
sition Is novel one, and there Is a chance
to do some thinking over it, Possibly
some one may be SO situated as to make 1t
easy to try the plan and lot us know the
results. American Machinist.

New YORK, July 15.-The resurrection
of the Sunday law by Judge McAdam had
the effect Of only slightly checking the
sale of soda and mineral water by drug
gists and confectioners of the city yester-
day. Possibly one such place in every
twenty made no attempt to sell. One in

wanted to buy. There was no disposition

AS the day for the RECOMMENDING OF dis
trict court at Pierre, August ID, draws

begins to revive, for then it is that he is
to receive his sentence. Taylor has
been in Chicago raising money to replace

the It'll he has succeeded in raising
100000 for this purpose. The money
with all his personal property he intends
to turn over to the state before court

PLANET COLLISIONS.


Should Stars Knock Together the Fire
Would He Indescribable.
Professor Ledger Of London, whose
series Of Gresham astronomy lectures on
"Knocks In Their Relation to Astrono-
my" has been completed, in his last dis.
course pointed out that the universe,
instead Of being fixed, is alive with mo-
ton, each star with its attendant plan
cts hurrying through space. II star were
to knock against star the intense heat
and fierce fire generated by the enor-
nous velocity and vast momentum Of
the two masses would be such as to pass
human conception.
1t may be that the sun was formed by
the collision Of two stars. The effect Of
two such bodies attracting each other
and meeting would be to reduce them
to a violently agitated gaseous mass.
which would oscillate, first inward, pro-
ducing inconceivable heat, and then out
ward again, ultimately assuming the
condition Of the sun. The general re-
suit would be that the two bodies would
revolve around their common center of
gravity-that is to say, around each 9TH
er-creating a double star. Lord Kel.
win has calculated that if 20, 900, 900
solid globes, each Of the mass Of the
moon, should be scattered over a spher-
ical surface 100 times the radius of the
earth's orbit, they would come together
and be raised to a temperature Of
100, 600 degrees. They would oscillate
outward and inward, reaching to q less
distance each time, and ultimately set
Ting down into a sphere.
The nebule we see around us may,
Professor Ledger suggests, have been
produced by the knocking together Of
two great bodies rather than by the ag-
gregation of many smaller ones. The
collision of two huge suns would thus
lead to rejuvenescence and the formation
Of new systems. Phenomena indicating
that something very much in the nature
Of a collision had occurred are the out

THE VANISHING RED MAN.
At the Present Rate Of Decrease the Full
Blooded Indian viii Soon DixappeAr.

At the Present Rate of Decrease the Full
Blooded Indian Will Soon Disappear.
LO, the poor Indian, is growing scarcer
and scarcer as time advances, and will
probably disappear altogether as a full
blooded Indian before the end of another
century. The total Indian population at
this time, according to estimates made
by the officials of the Indian bureau, is
24S, 253, exclusive of the Indians Of
Alaska. In 1929, before the annexation
Of Texas and Mexico, the estimated In
dian population Of the country was AGO.
600. In 1855 the number was said to be
$50, 900, and the same estimate is made
for 1871. The most rapid decline in
numbers has been in the last quarter Of
this century. The fact that the Chero-
KEGS and Chippewas, both comparative
~ powerful tribes, have actually in
creased in numbers makes the decrease
in the other tribes all the more remark
able.
1t is believed that the principal loss
has been among the Sioux and other
tribes Of the northwest. More than two
thirds Of the total number, or 237, 47S,
in 1871 were ON the reservations. At
the beginning Of this year the number
on the reservations had been decreased
to 133,417, or about one-third Of the
total number. Less than 80, 900 Of these
are self supporting, the federal govern
ment issuing supplies 10 most Of them.
If the rate Of decrease which has been
maintained for the last quarter Of q GEN.
fury or so be continued, there will not
be q single full blooded Indian in the
country, except possibly in dime muse
ums, by the end Of the twentieth GEN.
