No Doubt About Mich iS'.n.

There is no doubt that Michigan will
give its electoral vote for Bryan. The
conclusions are based upon the follow
ing reasons: A harmonious union of ele-
ments in all portions have together con-
stituted 4 majority. Those united forces
have all been constantly increased at
the expense of the republican party.
Not a day but reports come from every
county asserting that we are gaining
steadily new converts. \ poll Of 80 coun-
ties shows an average of III republicans
who will vote for Bryan. If the average
in the 50 counties holds good though the
entire state it will amount to over 10000.
hicll would Indicate majority of not
less than $4,000 for Bryan. This calcula
ton assumes that the gain from prohibi-
ton will equal the vote for Palmer and
BUckner. There is no escaping the con-
clusion that the state is safe for Bryan

NO LIGHT WITHOUT DUST.

the Heavens BE Inky Black.
The majority of persons do not know
that the sky is blue on account of the
thousands and thousands of millions of
atoms Of dust floating in the atmos-
phere. Were it not for dust we would
lack light on Mother Earth, and the
heavens would be an inky black, says
a writer in the New York Herald
Suppose room absolutely dark, save
hole through one of the shutters A
ray Of light will dart through the small
opening, and one can observe tiny
particles Of dust dancing in that bright
beam of light AS n matter of fact
1t is not 1.-The light we see, but sim
ply reflection caused by these notes
of dust.
AS it is with this shaft of light in
the darkened room, 50 it is on a large
scale throughout the air. The many
millions Of particles OF dust catch the
light, rejecting it back and forth form
one to another, so making the atmos-
phere luminous .t-,.-.
1t is for this reason that were it not
for the dust the sky would appear
black, as it does at night when there
is no moon. The sun would appear az
an immense glowing ball. The moon
and stars would be visible throughout
the day. Everything would appear
different. Where the light touched. the
eyes would be dazzled by the brilliancy.
Inc mellow softness of the shadows
would become an intense black and the
outline OF objects harsh and angular.

Ihe reason that in southern parts
OF the globe and near the equator the
SKY is very blue lies in the fact that
the air Is much drier, and the dust
molecules, not being enlarged by mois-
ture, are thus enabled to reflect the
blue color of the sunbeams.

THE MEN WHO BUY NOT.
Newsdealers Use Rubber Bands on
the Magazines.

The man who gets up early in the
morning so he can have a look at his
neighbours paper before the rightful
his doorstep, does not stand very high
in the estimation Of the newsdealer.
This is because he spoils trade, says
the New York World.
There is another man, however, who
is even more cordially detested by the
vender Of periodicals. He is the fell
low who never buys anything, but has
the habit Of dipping into the weekly
papers and magazines. The keeper Of
news stand makes a tempting dis
play Of his stock, for he knows that a.
strong picture of even a pretty cover
often brings him stray customer but
he expects the mere looker-on to be
content with this much, and he Is likely
to frown upon the man who resorts
to all kinds of schemes in order to get
a peep at the inside pages.
The stands in the ferry houses and
railway stations suffer the most from
these penurious cranks, for there Is
nothing else to attract their attention
while they are waiting for a boat or
the latest books and magazines. and
have been known to draw the tacks
out Of papers nailed up against the
stand so that they could see what was
on the other side of the sheet But it is
not what they see and read for moth
ing that worries the newsdealer. He
would be willing to put up with that
If they did not injure his stock. In
deed, he would much rather have a
man take up a magazine bodily and
carefully examine every page than to
have him grab 1t by one corner and
bend up all the leaves in a surrepti-
tous attempt to see the pictures. He
would also rather have you ask him to
hand you periodical than to have
you shove his stock all out of line
while trying to see the half of the
page that is hidden by a pile of other
papers.
So great has this nuisance become
that the newsdealers have had to
adopt schemes for their own protec-
ton. The most successful, so far az
preventing the leaves from being
turned, consists of placing a rubber
band around the top and bottom of q
magazine and using it on the top of
each pile.

MOVED IN ONLY TO DIE.
Jared III. jerks Worked Ten Years
to Build HIS House,

For ten years Jared H. jerks had
been building himself house in High
land Park. He had moved in and was
putting the finishing touches upon the
structure when he fell from a scaffold
and WAS killed, according to the San
Francisco Examiner.
Jared H. jerks had lived in Oakland
for nearly twenty years. He had done
fairly successful contracting bust
ness and had saved enough money to
purchase lot at the corner Of East
Twenty-fourth street and Twenty-first
avenue. Upon this lot he began the
erection Of home for himself.
jerks had turned his flftieth birth
day when he laid the foundation.
When his friends said that he would
never move into his new house and
that the day 1t was completed he would
die he laughed at them.
Jared jerks determined that he would
build his house himself, and that he
would do 1t In his spare hours. The
day he nailed on the last shingle, his
family moved into their new home,
and that evening his body was at the
morgue awaiting the coroner's inquest
It took him ten years to build the
house. 1t Is q two-story dwelling Of
dozen rooms. Slo Wy the frame went
up and slowly the main portion Of the
house was closed in. Sometimes Jared
jerks would find only an occasional
day that he could give to his own
house. When the boom came to Oak
land those idle days became more and
more tnfrequent, for he was too busy
erecting houses for others to put in
much time upon his own place.
But the boom faded away year or
two ago, and then jerks found a great
deal Of time to give to his own house.
He never hired any help. Every bit Of
the work was done by himself from
the drawing Of the plans to the tack
ing Of the shingles upon the roof.
For the last few months jerks had
been hurrying to complete his new
place for the winter, and he had
worked early and late for many weeks
Everything was completed Just as
1T was beginning to get dusk and he
was making up his mind to leave his
work and step into his completed home
the scaffolding that held him broke
He fell to the second scaffolding below
and that likewise broke, throwing him
to still third scaffolding, which in
Its turn gave way, and when he struck
the ground he was dead
