THE BIOYANCY OF IRON

The reason that a piece of ironywill
float on the surface of mofeniron is due
to the buoyancy or lifting tendency Of
the iron in liquid state. Iron being Z
porous substance the action of the heat
expands them further apart, making 4
liquid mass of great density, and THERE
fore, buoyant. and capable of q great
upward pressure.

THIS BOOK MARKET
In no other thing has there been so
much change in trade as in the book
business of this city the last few years
Five years ago one half expected to be
able to find a general line of the newer
books of the day, or even earlier ones
of a standard character Today the book
stores here compare favorably with
those of any city of its size in the east
Indeed, it is not too much to say that
this is fast becoming a reading and book
buying community, fact in which the
Herald takes great pride for it has per-
sistertly helped TO bring this about
! Once-and very recently-Los Angeles
was not counted upon as market for
publishers; but today its trade is care
fully sought, and its sales are growing
every day.

should be read until it is two years old
meaning that the general buyer and
reader should not feel called upon to
buy and read book until it has stood

Good literature is true art. and this
means that it is true to the facts Of
human life, as the world has unfolded it.
The views of a man who writes today of

be good view. if it discloses important
affairs, if it points the way that others
may follow in the future, then what he
writes will justly and inevitably live.
His book will be valuable and en-

rIr. CIagett's Address.

speaker accorded such a reception
in this place as that rendered to
Hon. VIM. H Clagett last Wednes-
day evening. The large school
house auditorium, which is estima-
ted to seat 500 persons, was liter
ally jammed with ladies and gen.
tlemen and the corridors were filled
by men standing.
Euterpe oornet band discoursed
splendid music, after which Hon.
Martin King, who presided, intro
duced S. II. Hays of Boise. Mr..
Hays speech was short but pointed
and ELECTED much applause, partic-
ularly when he assured his hearers
that the national Democratic COM
mittee and the Idaho committe were
now acting in unison and that the
Peoples Democratic ticket was GER
tain of success by many thousands
from Bryan down to the last man
on the ballot.
On being introduced, Mr.. Clagett
was greeted with rounds of APP
plause. He stated in a preliminary
way that the goldbugs would out
vote the Duboisites by several thou
sand in Idaho. He explained fully
the actions and attitude of Dubois
since the St. Louis convention, and
showed up in true colors the mis-
reservations and efforts of Dubois
and his followers to deceive voters
in this campaign.
Referring to the visits of national
committeeman johnson and Walsh
to Idaho, he said that if these men
had went to New York on a similar
mission they would have been un-
tremendously kicked back toWash-
ington, and otherwise pictured their
ridiculous acts to the great merri-
ment of his hearers. He referred to
the fact that there are five or six
her issues contained in the Dem
ocratic and Peoples national plat
forms, closely allied to the free
coinage issue and necessarily sup
Elemental thereto, which are not
contained in the silver Republican
platform of this State, and that Du-
bois and his few followers do not
stand upon them. Mr.. Dubois is
Republican in everything, the sena-
tor himself claims, except the sole
question of free coinage, yet he
and his friends ask the Democrats
to return him to the United States
senate. The policy of the Repub-
lican State administration, and also
the acts of the last Republican leg
islature, came for fair share of the
speakers attention. The disastrous
effect of the repeal of the State sill
yer law was clearly explained, as
well as the way in which it was re-
pealed by Republican votes gained
by the influence of a swarm of
agents, representing trusts, corpora
tons and monopolies, that swarmed
in Boise at the time the legislature
was in session. The result of State
legislation in regard to irrigation
in favor of the ditch companies and
against users of water was thor
oughlv elucidated and surprised
many not familiar with the law that
now works entirely against the poor
rancher or land owner.
His remarks on national issues,
and his reference to legislation by
this government without regard to
foreign powers elected much APP
plause and enthusiasm. He was
listened to with deep and earnest
attention. His remarks and COM
handing presence, his impassioned
oratory and patriotic sentiments APP
pealed to every sensible and think
ing person in the audience.
