INFALLiBLE SCIENCE.

Figures for Once This Professor Had
to Admit Were Wrong.
Occasionally science must admit fail
ure. One night a young man in Divinity
hall at Yale undertook with toy rifle
to hit a lamp. But his aim was poor
and the ball passed through the window
of an eminent and venerable professor
of science and embedded itself in the
wall.
This was the opportunity for the pro-
lessor and for science, says the Hartford
Courant. He set to work and computed
the curve, and with the exact skill of in
fallible figures he traced the ball right
back to the room of an innocent COL
league who didn't even know the rife
had been fred.
The unfedged minister fatty denied
all knowledge of the affair. But men,
even ministers, have been known to
make denials IN self-defense, and the
professor had the proof with him.
There was tho bullet, there were the
marks of its course, and there was the
computation worked out. II lool'ed as
If pulpit career was to be nipped in the
bud.
But the guilty student heard what
was going on. he called on the pro-
fessor, confessed the offense, pointed
out that the man of science was 200 feet
out in his computation, and advised
that the matter be dropped right where
1t was.
And that was done.

THIS AND THAT.

The Deutsche Zeitung, Mexico, pub
fishes some statistics showing that,
taken altogether, it is rather unhealthy
business to be president of Mexico.
Mexico has had IS rulers since 1921.
Four of these were executed, one pol
soned. four murdered, and seven killed
in battle.
The best briar root from which pipes
are made comes from the borders OF
France and Italy. In the mountainous
districts of those countries roots are
dug out which have grown for ages, and
are sometimes larger than mans
body, weighing hundreds of pounds.
The wood thus obtained is remarkably
beautiful.
A chalk is composed of fossils. Ifyou
take the tiniest bit and place it under
a powerful microscope you will see an
infinite number of extremely diminu-
tive shells, and no spectacle on a large
scale is more beautiful than the varied
forms of these tiny homes of animal life
which are disclosed by powerful
glasses.
The most remarkable gold beetles in
the world are found in Central America.
The head and wing cases are brilliantly
polished with luster as of gold itself.
To sight and touch they have all the
seeming of that metal. Oddly enough
another species from the same region
has the appearance of being wrought in
solid silver, freshly FURNISHED. These
gold and silver beetles have a market
value. They are worth from $25 to $50

Lonx-Distance Riding.

FOR riding long distances, the great
secret is-keep an even, steady paca
and cut down the stops. Order your
meals to be ready beforehand, if posi-
BILE, and avoid strictly any unnecessary
delays on the way, such as stops tor
altering the position of saddle o.
handles, which should be placed abse'
lutely right before starting; dismoun''
ing to ask the way-which ought "
have been made perfectly familiar BY
previous riding over the whole course,
q part at time-or pauses to extracs
small eatables. etc., from bag-aii
things that may be wanted should b
carried in a light basket fixed upright
on a carrier, and easily unfastened with
one hand while riding. says the Irish
Cyclist. The comfort and ease of long
ride depends immensely on the proper
management of such small details a.
the above.

THROUGH THE STATES.

Two white-winged crows make daily
visits to Robert Mullins farm at Ilches-
ter, Nd, but so far they have eluded eff
forts to capture them.
Four years ago, when wool was low,
q Jonesboro (Me.) man sold all his
sheep but one, which each year since
then has raised black lamb, until this
year, when it had pair of white ewes.
Harry Zimmerman, of Snydersburg,
Nd, shot and captured without doing
1t any serious injury, a gray eagle
which measures three feet from beak
to tail and seven feet three inches across
the wings.
Charles Roberts and his wife and
four children walked almost all the way
from Clay county, Kan, to their former
home in Anne, Arundel county, Nd,
being helped to railway ride over one
stage OF the journey, by sympathetic
people at BENCHES, in Baltimore county,
who took up collection for them.

A Cabinet Meeting,

Washington, June 2S.-The cabinet
talked for full two hours, most OF the
time on questions of foreign policy, but
without deciding upon any particular
changes in the lines Of action already
laid down. Hawaii and annexation
were discussed at length and especially
the protest filed the other day by the
Japanese minister against the pending
annexation treaty.
The protest is not given very much
weight by the administration, for the
reason that in the estimation of the
cabinet 1t is based upon a misconcep-
ton of the terms of the treaty and of
the results that would follow the sub
stitution of the laws of the United
States for the Hawaiian laws and
treaties.
For instance, 1t was shown that so
far as the protest is based upon a fear
that the status of the Japanese now
living in Hawaii will be injuriously af-
fected 1t is not sound, for their posi-
ton after annexation would be precise
ly similar to that of Japanese now liv-
ing in the United States who are eligi-
BILE to citizenship and are not known
to have any complaint against their
treatment by the United States.
Other matters of protest, in the opin-
ion of the cabinet. were equally with
out foundation. One thing that ap-
peared positively was that the admin
istration does not now entertain any
expectation of getting action upon the
treaty at this session of congress, but
has determined to arrange for its early
consideration next December.
AS for the Cuban talk, it appeared
that Mr.. Calhoun's report, though COM
pleted by him, was not laid before the
cabinet, so the discussion did not cover
any new ground.

from 60 to 20 parts, the Seine in Paris
% to "a parts. and the River Jordan 10y
parts.
The Paris meteorological, Prof. Meter
icht. estimates the quantity of water
turned into vapor by the sun in the
Mediterranean sea alone on a clear
hot summer day at not less than 5.2oo'-
LOCO tons. At that rate, the quantity
of water taken from the entire glooe
on one hot day within the limits OF the
temperate and tropical zones would
amount to not less than 245.oOO,oOO.ooo

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for

needed when the languid exhausted feeling
prevails, when the liver is torpid and slug
gish and the need of a tonic and alternative
is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious
fever. No medicine will act more surely
