Wichita. Kan. July 15.-The editor OF
the Kansas COmmoner has received the
following letter from United States Sena-
tor PETER. which he will publish with
the statement that it .'refutes garbled
press reports Of late which necessitated
interviews condemning the senator by
leading Populists:''
Dear sir-The convention Of the De-
mocraey puts a new face on the political
situation. The wise and patriotic course
for US now is to unite our votes with
those of all other friends OF silver ana
enemies OF the gold standard whenever
such union is possible. We can do this
and still maintain our organization for
future use In case OF need. spactfully.

Irilby has brought the world to her

The School Slate.

\ possible danger that turks in he
slate used by children at school is thus
pointed out by the National Board ut
Health Magazine: The common prlc-
tice which prevails in schools is to hand
the states to the children without any
attempt being made 10 insure that each
child shall have the same slate time
after time. The result IS iney liable
The first thing that the child does is 10
clean the slate by means of the finger
wetted with saliva. In this process, of
course. the finger travels many times
from mouth to slate and vice versa. and
thus conveys to the mouth any material
which may happen to be upon the slate.
Thus. if child happened TO be suffer
ing from tuberculosis. The tubercle
baCilli might be readily conveyed to the
mouth Of another healthy pupil and the
same contingency would be likely to
happen. in all probability with greater
effort. if the disease be diptheria" A
very simple remedy. the writer adds, is
to provide "Qonge with every slate.

There was a hanger on about the
theater named Hunt, who had some
literary tastes, and Kneass asked him
to hunt up some verses proper for
music. Hunt said he had seen some
in an English newspaper that he
thought suitable, for by this time
Ben Bolt had travelled abroad, and,
as he had lost the copy, tried to re-

He couldn't remember them cor

throughout the world, says the London
Telegraph. The dyes and by-products
derived from coal tar have become a
classical instance, or, as Bacon would
have said, a glaring example. AS we
have stated, the fatherlanders nave
captured these trades from us. Go to

works, eve are shown a laboratory un-

if, indeed. there were so many. These
men are increasingly active in research.
The price to pay for progress is eternal
Every hint from England, France,
America or Italy is tried, every new
material tested. every hopeful process
patented. The great works at
Hochst made in 1890 from l 200 to 1,S0G
colors; they employed 5000 hands, sew
enty chemists and twelve engineers. A
firm in Offenbach with 300 workers had
forty-fve investigators.
The lesson that has been driven home
In the fatherland is that industrial pro-
cesses carried on upon a large scale
give great chances for discovery. Just
| as gasmaking gave aniline, so the soap
boilers lye yielded iodine, the waste of
salt gardens bromine, the mother
| liquors from the springs caesium and
rubidium, the acid chambers selenium
and thallium, the mines and metallur-

| Therefore the "Chemiker" on the other
| side of the Rhine is always looking for
| something new. He found it in the
| benZidine and aZo dyes, the former Civ
J ing Congo red and chrysamin, the
most important discovery of modern
J times so far as cotton dyeing is con-
cerned.' In short, as DR.. Ostwald has
