aged to secure the 90 votes necessary to
elect their man. The opposition forces
will not let the election pass. They
will carry it to the United States SEN
ate, where the charge will be made that
undue influence was welded by the
Mormons to force the election of Raw
Inns. The issue is certainly q most in
teresting one. Rawlins is a native of
Utah and of Salt Lake county. He lived
on q farm until he was is, and then
went east for his education, which he
received at the University of Indiana.
On his return to Utah he served two
years as professor in the Deseret uni
versity of Salt Lake City, and mean
while he studied law. In 1875, the year
he resigned his position in Deseret uni
versity, he was admitted to the bar of
Utah and began the practice of law.
This he followed until he was elected
territorial delegate in 1892. In politics
Mr.. Rawlins has always been a demo-
crat. 1t was as democrat that he was
elected to the Fifty-third congress, and
it is an odd incident that he will be the
colleague of the man whom he defeated
in that election. Mr.. Rawlins is a firm
believer in the doctrine of free silver,
and has strong proclivities toward free
trade. AS a lawyer he has gained an
enviable reputation in this state. The
result of the contest in the senate will
be important for Utah.

end of three years to assist in the home
government He espoused the cause of
Coumoundouros, the greatest of the
Greek statesmen. Later he faced that
lender as a rival, and by his shrewdness
and cleverness vanquished him. In the
Coumoundouros ministry Delyannis
was made minister of foreign affairs,
and took part in the Berlin congress.
When his chief and rival died in 1888,
Delyannis was alone left to lead the
opposition forces against Trieoupis,
who was then in power. He won a
great success, and since 1855 he has been
the foremost man in all Greece, rising
and falling with the tide of popular feel
ing, as all great statesmen will.

If a small rod of iron-a straight
piece of wire, for instance-be creased,
it can be made to float on water. The
grease apparently prevents the break
ing of the surface of the water, and
the iron lies cradled in a slight depres-
sion or trough. Scientists believe the
floating is due to film of air con-
densed ON the surface of the metal, be-
cause if the rod be heated to redness.

water, it will sink; but if it be ex-
posed to the air for short time it will

ONE of our consuls in France writes
the state department that there is 8
market there for large amount of
American oak lumber, provided it be
sawed in the manner preferred by
French lumber dealers. That proba-
bly, settles the question. The Amer
ican manufacturer turns out goods to
suit himself, not foreign buyers. Eng
lish and German manufacturers are
much wiser in this regard, and thereby
get great deal of foreign trade which
Americans might have if they would
adopt proper methods.

fact. this country is a perfect land of
desolation. This fact arises from
the fact that the ground is frozen

Krosnolarls and Mariusk there is
a steppe where the ground is frozen to
a depth averaging nine feet. In other
parts of the country the ground is
only frozen to the depth of few
inches, but as it remains in this con-
dition throughout the year nothing
will grow in it.
