aurht but bring TO a return OF ike
nrosperity the predictions of disaster or
our opponents to the contrary notWlth-
standing.
I'm Mr.. Bryan, the Chicago convention
placed at the head Of its ticket a gentle
man of exceptional ability and of high
character. No man of his age was bet
ter known throughout the United States
than he as a member of congress. Tor
four years he commanded the admiration
and respect of all his associates in that
body as scholarly statesman and
profound thinker. No man had ever as
sailed mis- character or in any way
questioned his integrity or moral worth.
His character is a fit example for the
young men of this country. He has
shown in all his public utterances that
he loves his countrymen and symp1-
thizes with them in their distress. He has
also shown that he believed the financial
system which makes gold the standard
of value was in a great degree the cause
of the depression and financial distress
prevalent throughout the land; that the
condition now existing Will continue
while the present monetary system lasts,
and that ne would fain return to the use
of both gold and silver as they were used
prior to 1873, and he has proposed such a
change of the financial system by the
usual constitutional methods. Such was
the character and such the political opln-
ions of the candidate known 10 MS COull-
trymen who by their representatives in
convention selected from every state IN
the Union have put him in nomination
for the highest office within the gift Of
the American people.
This is a critical period in our history.
Industrial and financial Independence and
other nations are involved in this cam
paign and we firmly believe there will be
no return to prosperity until We have
changed our financial system SO as to
restore the bimetalic system established
by the fathers of the republic, and so
believing we urge all friends of gold aad
silver standard money and the opponents
of a single gold standard to give Bryan
and Sewall their hearty support
In advising this course. we do not
consider it necessary that they shan
abandon or surrender their political
views on other questions
"ProfoundIy impressed with the inn
portance of the issues of this campaign,
for ourselves and our associates, we re
spectfulIy submit the foregoing to the
candid consideration of the American
people.

A Tree Turned TO Irnn

While William Teas was removing
sand from sandstone quarry on his
farm near Three Tuas, MONTGOMERY
County, Penn, no came across what
he first thought was q rich vein OF iron
ore. The find was Ten feet below the
surface, surrounded by sand, and only
n few inches above the solid rock.
Further examination disclosed n cyiin4
drlcal mass of iron from six to ten IL
ches in diameter and about fifteen
feet long. il had the exact outlines of
n tree IN n horizontal position, though
the roots and branches were missing.
Unfortunately, in taking the trunk
from the crumbling sandstone, it was
broken into many pieces.
MIR. Teas reported his discovery to
Pro iessor Oscar @. s. Carter, OF the
Academy of Natural Sciences, PhiIa-
delphia, who visited the quarry and
found the mysterious mass Yves a fer
ruginized tree. The rough outside
BARK could be clearly distinguished,
aJd on one piece was observed n knot
WHICH was entirely converted INFO
iro1 ore.
Que fact that convinced Professor
CarteE that the shaft was part of tree
was that some portions had not entire
ly los. sbeir identity, but showed the
woody texture. They were partially
car OnizNd, he said, resembling char
coal. In 'act, they formed an imper-
'ect coal kaown AS Ignite, which is
round in some OF the Western States
and there ured for fuel. Tue main
irass, however, had become Dr.,sn

Electric HeaIllg IL.

AS number OF railroads in the Uni
tel States are contemplating placing
electric headlights on the locomotives
in place OF tho present headlights,
Theodore u. Ely, chief of motive
power OF the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, was asked recently whether
his company contemplated doing the
same thing, and he said that under no
circumstances would the present sys-
TEN OF lighting up the tracks ahead of
tue engine be changed.
In speaking of the use of the cleo
trio headlight, he said that the Penn.
sy.yania railroad experime nted with
this system several years ago and while
1t give an excellent light it would not
answer the requirements, as on a two
track or q four track road the rays
from locomotive coming in an oppo.
site direction were so strong as to
blind the engineer and it would be
some time before he got over it. Mr..
Ely also said that of late years they
had been reducing the size OF the
headlights for the locomotives. They
were formerly thirty inches, but now
are sixteen. Headlight oil, he thought.
was more reliable and was cheaper
End he saw no reason for placing a
dynamo on the engine for generating
electricity for the headlight. -Phila.
