The celebration of the jubilee of Lord
Kelvin (even now better known to the
older generation as Sir William Thom-
SOM as professor Of natural philosophy
In Glasgow university has taken place
recently in Glasgow and has produced
q perfect flood Of the heartiest congrat-
ulations from the scientific men of all
parts of the world, says the London
Spectator. Never was there a greater
unanimity of sincere and eager admira-
tion. from England. from all parts of
Europe. from the United States and
from Japan, where his pupils and ad-
mirers abound. But perhaps the most
striking feature of the jubilee was the
the perfect modesty and even humility
Of Lord Kelvin's own speech in
reply to the lord provost's congratula-
tions.
Zone word" he said, "characterizes
the most strenuous Of the efforts
for the advancement of science
that I have made persevering-

is failure: know no more of electric

between ether, electricity and ponder

I knew or tried to teach my students OF
natural philosophy fifty years ago in
my first session as professor. Some
thing OF sadness must come of failure 81
True, but there is something of SUBJ

the elevation Of Lord Kelvin's concep.

when he regards such scientific ca
reer of constant and fertile discovery as
has attracted the admiration and al
most the vereration of all the world, as
nothing better than failure in disguise

article on Appropriate Mantel Draper

Take peacock feathers Of equal length
and sufficient in number to 60 around

Refining influence. of Poetry.

1t is a great mistake for any young
woman to Judge poetry by the melodi-
GUS tinkling of current verse. and to
say that she cant read poetry" Real
poetry finds home in every woman's
heart. Its tenderness, its music, its
vagrant fancies, it's vivid emotions are
more adapted to her nature than to the
masculine mind. II she does not read

ences that can enter her life through

No fairer land may bloom
Among the island-stars that crest
The midnight's heavy gloom;
The lilies blossomed in our path,
Wild roses on the spray.
And young birds from the wilderness
Sang each a dreamy lay.
Our steps fell lightly as we pressed
The green, enchanted ground.
For love was swelling in our hearts.
And in the air around;
All. all was sunshine, bliss, and light.
Beloved Of my soul,
When in the Isle of Dreams we met,
Where Lethean rivers roll.
Then tread again the sounding shores
That echo in my dreams,
And walk beneath the rosy sky
That through my vision gleams;
Oh meet me, meet me yet once more,

Within the lovely Isle Of Dreams,
Where Lethean rivers roll!

SoO OuV AHocD III sho SRS1a8s
Spring Is better time to set trees
than fall, because, at that season, trees
are beginning to grow, and will, there
fore. be in condition to respond more
readily to treatment, while in fall they
are unlikely to establish themselves
before cold weather sets in. Preserve
the roots to the fullest possible ex-
tent, and do not disturb the tree until
after it has ripened and has shed it's
foliage. If the roots are cut away, as
they almost invariably are in spring
planting, be sure to cut back the tor
proportionately. -Eben E. Rexford In

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

New York, October Or. G. Dun
e Co.'S weekly review of trade to-
morrow will say:
The buying of iron and steel pro-
ducts, though smaller than of late,
continues to keep works well engaged
ahead and induces others to resume
operations. Both buyers and manu-
facturers End it prudent to limit en-
gagements ahead and the period Of
adjustment will make the industry
safer for some time to come. There is
great pressure for speedy deliveries
but some abatement of demand with
slightly lower prices for nails. Tin is
some little weaker and copper at lie
for lake and competition of home pro-
ducers lowers tin plates to 1910. The
coke output is larger, 1495 tons
weekly, but the anthracite coal is
weaker, offered here at $405, against
S435 named in circular.
Failures for the week have been 219
in the United States, against 270 last
year; and % in Canada, against 40 last
year.

ANOTHER KEY
Unlocking All the Doors But One in
the Jail,
Found in Martins Ferry, Tuesday,
and Given Into the Possession of
the Sheriff-it Was Tried in the
Lock Of the Outside Door, Yes
terday, and Worked to Charm.

1T is wonder, under the peculiar sys-
tenn of locks, boltsjand bars in use up
at the county Jail, that anybody stays
there any longer than he or she wishes
to. In fact, only the presence of Off
Gals about the institution keeps any
body there at all.
1t has only been few days since the
Register detailed the escape of two
important, prisoners, who opened the
door between the cell and office build
ings with a wooden key and then escap-
ed into the court house, through iron
clad and steel barred doors, which
were opened with the cell key. Now
comes the interesting discovery that
the wooden key used on that occasion
was not the only one in existence. An
other key has been found which will
unlock every door and every cell in
the Jail, the cells for famales and the
communicating door opened with a
wooden key few days ago alone eX-
cepted. With the two wooden keys
every door in the downstairs portion
of the Jail could be opened from the
street door to the door of the remotest
cell in the cell building, and only the
personal vigilance of the officer on duty
was bar to the escape of ELL the male
prisoners at anytime.
The second key was found on the
streets of Martins Ferry Tuesday.
Sheriff Richards wa:S informed of the
fact, and went over yesterday, secur-
ed the key, and made a close investiga-
ton. Coming back to this city, the
Sheriff went to the Jail and tried the
key on the front door. 1t worked well,
and he opened the door and entered
the Jail. He could have opened any
other door with it just as WE'LL except
the door communicating between the
two buildings. The key thus secured
had been made from piece of broom
stick, and possibly was the handiwork
Of the two men who escaped the other
day, or certain of their friends on the
Ohio. side How many more keys are
in existence is unknown, but it is in
deed a fortunate thing that the two
keys were recovered before any more
of the prisoners escaped.
1t is said the tive men who escaped
the other day was seen in Martins
Ferry couple of days ago. 1t is posi-
bic they have been hiding there ever
since their escape, and that the whole
plan Of eccape was engineered from
that side of the river.
