In Texas bushels upon
bushels of tomatoes are
dumped on the prairie to irot
because there is no sale for
them, and in northern Kan.
sas they are almost as scarce
as hens teeth. In this part
of the country they sell for
five cents per pound. If we
had government ownership
OF railroads the people of the
country could exchange pro-
ducts. But under private
ownership products won't
pay for their transportation.

Some of the counties in
central and eastern Kansas
are blessed with a heavy

This causes the republican

The Board of Railroad
Commissioners is a farce and
should be, abolished. Under
the law it is almost power
less and is, therefore a USE

Even if 1t had power, it

vote of the people so that
there would be a chance of
securing men to compose it
who could not be purchased
by the railroad corporations.

When not In motion, air stagnates a.

bad, because it Is easily impregnated
with fine animal and vegetable dust as

conditions are always necessary for the
continual movement of the air. We
know that the diurnal motion of land

STRANGE SEA MONSTERS.
The Sting Ray and the Sea Lizard Are
Queer Customers.

The Sting Ray and the Sea Lizard Are
Queer Customers.
The sting ray, member Of the skate
family, is dangerous inhabitant OF
Florida waters The largest specimens
of the kind, weighing from 400 to 500
pounds, live at great depths and are
seldom found inshore, but rays from 30
to 40 pounds are often encountered near
the land, and natives consider them to
be fully as dangerous as the octopus or
the much dreaded blue shark.
The fish is large, broad, fat bellied
creature, with eyes of golden tint, a
sharp, spearlike appendage at the end
of the back and long, slender tail that
reminds one much of blacksnake whip
This whip tail serves as a lariat with
which an enemy may first be lassoed
and then the barbed spine finishes the
work by decorating the victim III a
frightful manner. The sting ray is a
villainous creature from any point OF
view and has no friends in this or any
other latitude.
In the Atlantic ocean between the
shores of the Bahama islands and the
| Florida coast there lives strange crea-
ture known as the glaucus, or sea lizard.
| 1t is seldom if ever found near the
land, but seems to prefer deep water and
hot sea, especially where strong cur
rent exists 1t is well known that this
portion of the gulf stream crowded IL
between the Bahamas and Florida IL
very rapid, and therefore the conditions
so favorable to the sea lizard are Lere tc
be found to greater degree than else
where in the known world.

there are several more fins that spreat

Ehs Body Walled Up In q Temporary
Tomb Until 1t Is Put In the Crypt.
Few saw the scene which followed
when the good pope's body had lain
four days In state and was then placed
In its coffin at night, TO be hoisted high
and swung noiselessly into the tempo
rary tomb above the small door ON the
east side-that is, to the left of the
Chapel of the Choir 1t was for a long
time the custom that each pope should
lie there until his successor died, when
his body was removed to the monument
prepared for it in the meantime, and
the pope just dead was laid in the same
place.
The church was almost dark, and
only in the Chapel of the Choir and that
of the Holy Sacrament, which are OBJ
posite each other, u number of big wax
candles shed yellow light. In the
niche over the door mason was still at
work, with tallow dip, clearly visible
from below. The triple collins stood be-
fore the altar i'll the Chapel of the Choir.
Opposite, where the body still lay, the
Noble guards and the Swiss guards, in
their breastplates, kept watch with
drawn swords and halberds.
The Noble guards carried the bier on
| their shoulders in solemn procession,
| with chanting choir, robed bishops and
tramping soldiers, round by the Confess
| zion and across the church and lifted
the body into the coffin. The pope had
been very much beloved by all who were
near him, and more than one gray
haired prelate shed tears Of genuine
grief that night.
In the coffin, in accordance with an
ancient custom, bag was placed con-
tanning 93 medals, one of gold, one OF
silver and one of bronze for each of the
81 years during which Pope Plus had
reigned, and IL history of the pontif
cate, written on parchment, was also
deposited at the feet Of the body.
When the leaden coffin was soldered
six seals were placed upon 1t, five 10y
cardinals and one by the archivist of the
Chapter of ST. Peters. During tia,
whole ceremony the prothonotary apos
tolic, the chancellor of the apostolic
| ClluulDcT anu tlo uOtdiJ VI tiio Ohop'S-
of ST. Peters were busy, pen in hand
writing down the detailed protocol O
the proceedings.
The last absolution was pronounced
and the coffin in its outer case Of elm
was slowly moved out and raised II
sings and gently swung into the nicht
The masons bricked up the opening Il

and long before midnight the marbl
slab, carved to represent the side OF
sarcophagus, was in its place with 1t
simple inscription, "Pius TX, P. M. "
