The Missouri river has not been closed
TO navigation this winter, and IL is not
considered at all likely now that 1t will
be- The river has only been closed once
in the past four winters. Old river men
say the weather has certainly moderated
in the past score or more years. Fifteen
or 20 years ago the river was invariably
closed by ice in December and the records
of between 20 and 40 years ago show that
1t was never open during one winter.
French medical students are angrily
complaining that they are crowded out of
their own schools by youths from abroad.
and French doctors are even more indig-
nant because these foreigners, instead Of
going home after acquiring a knowledge
of physics and surgery, settle down in
France and compete with the native
practitioners. OF the 5000 students in the
Paris medical school IL seems that 1000
are aliens. and the proportion is almost
as large in provincial institutions, nota-
bly, at Montpelier.

An unmarried rancher. A. M. Clifford, SO
years old, who has for many years lived
alone on his property near Union Mills,

his existence and is the second solitary
rancher committed to the asylum under
such circumstances from the same coun-

EDISON,S LATEST.

Mr.. Edison is looking through solid
blocks of wood eight inches thick with
his naked eye. He has been expert
menting with the Roentgen rays with
results that enable him to dispense
with photography altogether and look
through and into solid bodies with
practically no more effort than he uses
to view their exterior surface Further
experiments may mean still more mar
velous devopments. As 1t is, living
human bodies are as susceptible to in
vestigation as in autopsies. The in
terror of a patient is to be fully
revealed to his physician.
The X ray. Mr.. Edison points out,
has no effect on the eye and cannot be
seen because it passes through the eye
just as 1t does through any other part
of the body. Nothing defracts it, moth
ing reflects it; therefore 1t does not
reach the eyes retina. Realizing this,
Mr.. Edison says he started out to find
substance that would absorb the
rays, just as phosphorus absorbs ordi-
nary light, and then gives ii out when
in dark place.
II tried 1880 chemicals" said he to
New York Journal reporter, before
/ found the proper one. In doing this,
whenever / found a substance that was
affected by the rays / laid II aside.
Finally l found one that had the prop
erty Of fiuorescence or phosphorescence
to about eight times the extent of that
used by Roentgen. This substance sim
ply absorbs the rays and translates
them into shadows apparent to the
future may study his patient in life as
he now learns the cause of death from
the autopsy. He may make the exam
ination by use of the electric apparatus
necessary to produce X rays and a
screen about seven feet high and four
feet wide, made of pine boards about
quarter of an inch thick. One side
of the screen will be covered with the
crystals, about half the size of granu-
lated sugar, of the substance found
available. Then the physician will
remain on the side of the screen COW
cred with crystals and the apparatus
that produces the X rays will be placed
on the other side. The patient will step
between the apparatus and the screen.
and although out of sight of the ply
cerned, his interior will be revealed on
the crystal-covered surface to the
physician.

IDEAS of HAPPINESS.

David Starr Jordan, president of the
Leland Stanford university, gave an
interesting lecture in San Francisco the
other night upon the subject of I'm
earned Happiness as a Social Factor"
His analysis of the cause of unhappi-
ness Is we'll worth studying. He ex-
planned how nature never favored pre-
cocity in any form and how destruction
came to those who would force them
selves ahead of normal development.
and said that happiness never followed
short cuts to those goals which should
only be reached in a patient, natural
course. In citing the causes of unhap-
piness, President Jordan made three
Observation-Disclosures lack of thrift
and stupidity. These he subdivided to
find what there was in common, and
in a general way he found that in all
there was a desire for ease and happi-
ness without the willingness to make
the effort and without taking respon-
sibilities "All healthy, normal sensa-
lions should end in action" he contin-
ued, but when man, by the use of
stimulants of any kind, forces upon
his nervous system an undue exhilara-
ton his brain juggles with the message
and the returns are false in truth" He
dwelt with earnestness on the effect of
environment, and asserted that nine
teen-twentieths of the criminals were
so, not because of heredity, but by rea-
son of contact with the degrading in
fiuence. His conclusion as to happi-
ness was that II people would but fol-
low the natural law of development
and not seek happiness which was not
earned, there would be a great deal
more of genuine contentment in the
world

The earl of Mansfield, who attained his
Goth birthday the other day, is, accord

His lordship wears the bottle-green coat

and. in spite of the protests of his fam
lily, resolutely refuses TO change to a
more modern style. Earl Mansfield is
said to be the earl whom Mrs. Hodgson
Burnett limned in the old and eccentric

NOTHING IN IT.

The silver republican papers yelled
too quick. 1t now appears, as set forth
in an associated press dispatch printed
this morning under Philadelphia date,
that the Pennsylvania manufacturers
who have been represented as anxious
to erect a combination of protection
and silver utterly repudiate the allega-
ton. They deny that they are willing
to make any concession of that charac-
ter to the silver republican senators,
and they are so mad about ii that a
meeting of the Philadelphia manufac-
turers' club has been called for the
express purpose of showing that the
capital which the friends of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver are try
ing to make out of the Washington
visit of Philadelphia manufacturers
rests upon as unsound and frail a
foundation as the whole structure they
are trying to erect"
II this language is any indication of
the way the Pennsylvania manufacture
ers feel, silver need expect no help
whatever in that quarter. What the
Pennsylvania men want is a high pro-
tective tariff. They are putting up
lavishly for McKinley's preliminary
they will put up still more
lavishly if he is nominated and they
expect to see him elected. What do
they care for silver-except to knock it
out and keep il knocked out?

are true in even the smallest degree.
il is more closely identified with the
power OF the dollar in politics than any
candidacy for that high office since the
foundation of the government"
So much for the strength" of the
Mckinley boom. 1t may prove sufficient
to land him a winner at st Louis. But
IL will be a victory not for Mckinley
but for the money power.

creation of another cabinet department
TO be known as the department Of com

chances that il viii pass the senate are
said to be good. The first argument
against the proposition is that a new

 MT. Ward, the Tonto Basin cattle man, is lying at the desert wells in a precarious condition. He left the city Wednesday to return to his range and when on the desert the horse he was riding reared on it's launches and fell backward. MT. Ward fell under the animal. His skull was fractured and other injuries were received. He was taken to the wells, where everything possible is being done for. him.
 A noteworthy feature of life in Phoenix is the number of new faces that appear daily on the streets. Some of the strangers come in search of suitable investments, and upon finding what they want they go into business with the enterprise and vigor charac- teristic of this progressive young town. Among those who have come to stay, and whose energy and push merit passing remark, is MT. Sam C.. Bellis, who believes that liberal ad- vertising is one-half the success of a business venture.
 A man from Arizona named Burk, a miner or the owner of mines in the territory, became entirely too festive last evening in the joints which deco rate East First street, so says the Los Angeles Times, and was garnered in by Officers Henderson and Fay on the charge of carrying concealed weapons. On his way to the station he attempted familiarities with MT. Pays club and the officer was obliged to use the in strument on Burk's skull, to the detri- ment of that part of his anatomy. To the clerk he gave the name of Frank Burk, but that is thought to be simply an alias.
