It is not possible to be too conscien-

consciousness includes what it does
not include. In a recent religious con-
ference a devout missionary objected
to accepting a millionaire's gift of two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars for
missionary purposes On the ground
that the rich man is not so religious
as the missionary thinks he ought to
be-. This man became rich in almost
the only way in which vast wealth can
be accumulated honestly-by the exer-
else Of superior business ability. He
has given substantial proof of his deep
interest in the welfare of those less
favored pecuniarily by setting aside
several million dollars to be used for

They Will Find Out About Seizures
ON the Reservations.
Rapid City, S. D., Aug. 1.-The late
detention OF cattle at Pine Ridge
agency by Agent Clapp develops into
a holly contested legal fight. Yester-
day answers in twenty-three cases
We're filed by cattlemen in this city.
The fight is not to get out of paying
the ransom of 81 a head, but rather to
make an end to all future corralling OF
cattle on the reservation. The boun-
Diary line between the reservation and
the cattle ranges is imaginary as far
as wandering cattle are concerned.
The cattlemen contend that if Agent
Clapp is sustained by the courts there
will be nothing to prevent a repetition
of the rounding at any time. 1t would
be impossible for the cattlemen to
keep stock from drifting onto the res
ervation or to prevent Indians from
driving the cattle across the line into
their possessions and then holding
them for ransom. On the other hand,
the Indians say that each year their
range on the reservation is eaten by
the stray cattle from across the line.

A natent has been issued in the Uni
ted States for a novel process for water
nroofng textile fabrics. In carrying
ont the process the fabric to be treated
is wetted with water and placed be-
tween sheets or rollers. One of these
sheets or rollers, which Is preferably
Of tin or aluminium, is connected to the
positive pole of an electric generator
and the other sheet or roller to the
negative pole. By employing such a
dissolving positive electrode and pass
Ing current through the wet fabric the
fbres are made water-repellent. The
inventor states that the waterproofng
is due to the formation on the positive
conductor of a metallic oxide Of some
kind. produced by the liberation of
nascent oxygen On the positive conduc-
tor, due to the %electrolytic action of the
current on the water with which the
goods are saturated. and which oxide
enters in the fibres Of the goods.
aided by the current, and prob
ably is combined partly chemically and
partly mechanically with the fbres,
making the same waterproof by the
presence of the oxide in or on tine fibre.
The strength Of the current applied
depends upon the character of goods
submitted to treatment. but care must
bc taken not to carry the process too
far. The nascent hydrogen on the neg
alive side will, If the time Of treatment
ia too long, accumulate and then begin
to act as a reducing agent, and in case
the period Of treatment is prolonged
beyond the proper time, then the
nascent hydrogen will reduce the oxide
of the metal in the goods to the me-.
tallic state, and the combination or
union of the oxide with the fibres will
be destroyed by the reduction Of the
oxide to a metallic state. The process
