tion to vote for candidates who are
known to favor the fcee coinage of
silver without reguard to what party
they belCng. In others words they
have pledged themselves to hold this
one idea above allegiance to party.
In this the people have; shown COM
mon sense.
DcWhatevsr plsns the politicians may
consider Il is fact beyond dispute
that the rank and file of the popullsts
and democrats In the Big Seventh dis
trict have made up their minds TO vote
for the same candidate for congress
this year. provided they CAN xgree
upon the proper man to represent
them.
Now is the time to talk over the
matter and determine who can poll,
the combined vote oe the democratic
and pepuIist parties. That task will
hot bes difficult after the members
Of the two parties honestly agree to-
make the principal qualification of
their candidate faithfniness to the sill
: YER idea.
There have been several names men,
tioued In connection with the nomina
tiun but these IN one man thar stands
head and shoulders above all ths rest,
rs IN elegible candidate, and that nan
is Ex-Governor Lewelling. He is not
only the favorite OF the populists but
he can poll every democratic vote Ia
the district and the silver republicans
will vote for him as well.
1t is u matter of fact that Jerry
Sim pson cannot poll democratic vote
of the Big Seventh and the shrewd
managers OF the populist party know
it. There is to much at stake this
year to take chances or to conslder the
personal interests of any candidate.
The people cannot wait four more
years for the returning prosperity that
will certainly come with u restora,i ion
OF silver to its place as a money met
tai. The populists who are for Lew
elling or - bust" for governor should
consider this matter. He Can tio the
people not only of Kansas but of the
United States greater service as
congressman than he can ever do. as
governor Of Kansas.
If the people mean what they say
about their determination to secure
the free coinage Of silver, and the Bea-
con thinks they do, tho only question
to be determined in selecting 4 cam
-didate for congress in this district is.
who Can poll the most votes and be
electedY A little reflection will en-
able any one to come to the conclusion
that Lewelling is the man to get the
votes. No body doubts his loyalty to
the cause of free coinage or his UNI
swerving fidelity to the masses. He
is q man that men of other parties are
not afraid to trust.-The Vic hita

Male and Fcmale Oak..

Mr.. knight, the eminent English bot
anist, has made some curious and inter-
esting Investigations on the production
of flowers of different sex in the various
species of the oak tree. He shows that
as rule that species of tree bears the
male and female flowers on separate in
dividuals, but that these different midi
viduals may be made to produce flowers
of either sex at will. In forcing the fe-
male oak to produce male flowers, and
vice versa, Mr.. Knight employed light
and heat, regulating the supply of both
to suit himself and according to the end
in view. This remarkable series of ex-
periments proved that, if the heat was
excessive as compared with the light,
male flowers only appeared. On the
other hand, if the light was excessive
and the temperature comparatively
low, nothing but female flowers were
produced. In other species of trees
which bear the male and female flowers
on separate individuals the experiments
of the botanist were not SO conclusive
az in tie case of the oaks. However, IL
is believed that these investigations will
finally lead TO the conclusion that in
the majority of trees and plants the
cuitivator will be able to produce sexes

"A serious source of loss of the pre-
cious metals is in the attritiou of coins.
II is estimated that gold coin of the
value of ten dollars will lose from one
to three grains of its weight in five
years, and that silver dollar will lose
ten per cent. of its weight in the same
time. This loss, of course, is irretriev-
able.

it is alarmed it has been found that it
can increase it's rate of speed to over

The Catahoula Mound jewellers.

Is to be continued. His excavations
were confined to four mounds recently
discovered on Lake Larto, but his ex-
cursions into the neighboring swamps
disclosed the fact that they were full
of similar mounds, most of them larger,
the town of Troy being built on score
of them. The excavations prove that
the mound builders were peaceful
fisher-folk, enjoying considerable civ
ilization but having very few weapons,
and these evidently brought from dis
lance, who sought refuge in the Louisi-
ana swamps from the more warlike
tribes around them, and built the
mounds as a protection from the over
flow of the Mississippi. Enough was Sc

Formation Of the Acorn.

The male flowers of the oak are gath.
cred in distant clusters round a long,
swaying stalk; they approach much
nearer to the conventional idea of a
flower individually. Instead of being
a mere aggregation of anthers or pollen
cells on simple scales, those of the oak
are possessed of distinct starlike, hairy
calyces, each marked off into six or
seven lobes, and containing ten slender
stamens, with two-celled anthers. Then
the female flowers, which are usually
two or three. near each other, but
not connected, consist each of an ovary.

styles, is held in a cup formed of many
small overlapping scales, which after

into mere roughness on the outside of
the cup that holds the acorn. For only

ovary develops into an acorn (seed or

OCEAN STEAMSHIPS EARS.
First Vessel Equipped with the Device to
Determine Sound.

SeSsei Equipped with tine Device TO
Determine Sound.
The Gate City is the first steamer go
ing out of this port to be equipped with
an aurophone, the new device for en-
abling the lookout to determine the di-
rection of sounds at sea. The auro-
phone was tried on the way up, but lit
tie could be told about its utility ow-
ing to its being placed i'm poor posi-
ton. 1t consists of brass box which
fits over the mast and which has pro-
jecting over each end broad-mouthed
funnel. From this box, close to the
tunnels, two tubes, like ordinary speak
ing tubes, lead down the mast and
through the main deck to the deck be-
low. Inside the box there is a COM
pick arrangement of diaphragms and
sounding boards, SO placed that sound
will enter only one of the tubes when
it is passing through the funnel on the
opposite side of the box. On the lower
deck is an arrangement like an en-
gine-room indicator, by which the box
above may be turned around the mast,
and directly under the Indicator in a
tell-tale compass. The man below places
the tubes to his ears, where they are
held in place by a cap. Unless the fun
nels above are pointing directly toward
the sound which he wishes to locate
lie will hear it only family, and in one
ear, because one of the tunnels being
turned away from the sound the tube
opposite does not operate. He then
turns the indicator in the direction
from which the sound appears to come,
and when the funnel is pointed directly
at the sound it passes through the fun
mel and out of the other, putting both
tubes in operation, and the operator
hears the sound distinctly, and in both
ears at once. He then chances at the IN
dicator, and the point on the tell-taie
at which it rests gives the exact bear
ing of the sound.
In the case of the Gate City, the box
was placed on the foremost, and the
operating station was on the forecastle
deck. There was SO much noise there,
caused by the hands moving about and
the breaking of the seas against the
stem of the vessel, that the sounds came
in confused way, and although bear
ings could be better taken than by the
ear alone, it is thought that the opera
ton of the instrument can be much inn
proved. On the next trip it will be
placed on the jigger mast, and the OPP
Grating station will be in the women's
steerage, where it will be quieter. The
arrangement is in use on the Old
Dominion steamers, and one or two
other lines, and has been found to
work finely. Whistling buoys and light
whistles can be much better located,
and can also be heard to a much great
er distance than with the ear alone

said Bob, as we neared the meek-look-

on their side; don't go up on the path, or

That gave me an idea. Bessie was
