1t is more particularly with a refer

usually been presented. Stripped OF
its scientific phraseology, DR.. Stoney's
view is that the gravitational force OF

sixth as great as the earth's, is not
strong enough to prevent the indefinite
expansion of such gases as form the
earth's atmosphere, and that conse-
quently II the moon ever had a gaseous

long ago dissipated in space Water
Vapor upon the moon would be as tru.

JUSTICE.
The Method of Rendering 1t Adopted by
an Old Iowa Magistrate.

A few lawyers We're sitting in one of
the city restaurants a few days ago,
eating lunch and discussing different
subjects, say the Kansas City Jour
nal, when one of them told the follow
ing story: This occurred some years
ago in the office Of a former justice of
the peace. An attorney, who has since
left Sioux City, had been engaged to
defend a man for the crime of petty
larceny. The lawyer knew that the
case against the client was a pretty
strong one and ne decided to beard the
lion in his den. AS he entered the
room he told the Justice Of the case,
the name Of his client and added he
did not think there was any evidence
to convict. At the same time he slipped
a $40 gold piece in the hand of the
justice and gave him a knowing wink.
The court said nothing, but, pulling
open the cash drawer, slipped the
money in. The case went to trial and
after the evidence had all been intro
duced there appeared to be no ques-
ton of the guilt of the defendant. But
Ills COullSSl was COnlluClll, lullhlhS lHe
gold piece had done the work. The
court then summed up the case and,
to the establishment of the defendants
counsel, said: The court finds the
defendant guilty as charged in the in
formation and fines him 500, of which
amount 500 has been paid. The de-
PENDANT. will be committed to the
county Jail until the remainder is paid
into this court" Nothing more was
said and the justice settled back in his
chair, satisfied that the laws of the
state had been upheld and a dishonest
attorney had been left in the lurch.

London Telegraph: Crowds of people
from all parts of Kent-many even
travelling from London by train or cy-
cle-visited the quiet, remote and sleepy
village of B~iddenden, not far from
Tenderden, for the purpose of celebrat-
ing the memory of the Two Maids of
h a ancient hamlet, who were the
original precursors of the Siamese
twins. In life they were Joined to-
gether by a mysterious cord of flesh,
and they died on the same day, leaving
their property to be distributed among
the poor of the parish, and among all
who care to apply for a dole of bread
and cheese on Easter day. This bene-
faction has been in existence for six OF
seven centuries, and at present it's value
is about 5000 a year. Formerly the
doles consisted of bread and cheese and
ale, but the latter produced so much
hilarity in the village that it was abol-
ished, and the charity is now limited
to the two first mentioned nutritive ar
ticles. The bread is made up in the
form of cakes, bearing a rude repre-
sentation of the Twin Maids of Bid
denden and are generally preserved as

For the Scientific Examination of Food

For the Scientific Examination of Food.
While there is undoubtedly a great
deal of ad~ulteration in food products
OF all sorts, the Pure Fupd commission
and the scientific experts who are en-
gagged In this work are doing excellent
service in exposing the frauds perpe-
trated on an unsuspecting public. In
the report of one of their eXamina-
tions two hundred samples of food
and drink articles were tested. Out
of this number considerably more than
one-quarter were found to be of such
poor quality that they were condemned
altogether. Among the articles exam
ined were flour, butter, lard, milk,
chocolate, fresh eggs, green tea, salad
oil, lemon extracts, and alcohol and
wines of various sorts. The most OBJ
j%ectionable article was butter. Out of
twenty-five samples twelve had from
25 to rs per cent of oleomargarine, two
were entirely made of oleomargarine,
and two others were compounded from
various materials that rendered them
unfit for food. The milk examination
was most extensive and exhaustive.
The commission carried it's examina-
ton through about fifteen hundred
places where milk was sold, finding
nearly n hundred cases of adultera-
ton that made the milk unfit for use.
In many other cases the milk was ex-
tensively watered. This was consid-
cred less Objectionable than some of
the other authorizations, and the water
was for the most part apparently pure.
The worst cases were those in which
milk powders, chalk and various con-
c0cted additions had been made. AS
matters now stand in the trade, relia-
bic and reputable dealers do. not find
food adulteration very profitable. The
penalties are toe heavy in case of de-
lection and the danger of being found
out and acquiring a bad reputation is
ever present before them.

An an instance of the enormous
quantities of coal used on these mon

cited. She had $500 tons of coal on

The air within the Mammoth Cave of
Kentucky has a uniform temperature
summer and winter Of so degrees B.
The cave may be said to breathe
twice a year, inhaling during the win

This breathing of the cave, and the
purity of the air and its freedom from
germs, are among the most interesting
problems to be studied. By what pro-
cess the air in the cave becomes steril-
lied remains to be determined.

Did Not Recognize Har

Some trouble had occurred between
the teller of a Pittsburg bank and his
best girl. Both were very proud and
high-spirited, and the young lady in
sisted upon repeating to the teller that
he must never again speak to her;
that he should never recognize her I'M
der any circumstances, and that if he
did SO she would consider it an in
suit. The teller was greatly offended.
He longed for revenge, and a few DAYS
later he had it.
While shopping downtown the
young lady became short of money.
She kept a small amount at an east
end bank, but the money was needed
at once. So she tripped lightly into
the teller's bank, filled out her check
for a few dollars and presented it to
her erstwhile escort.
Are you acquainted with any one
here?' asked the teller.
The young woman almost tainted.
IF not" resumed the teller, I'm
afraid I can't cash your check. No
doubt it is perfectly good, but bank
rules require hat we know and recog-
nize both the persons and signatures of
all those to whom we pay money"
The gulf between them now can
never be bridged.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

The ball given by three ladies at the
Heidelberg town hall on Friday even
ing was a great success, ~notwithstand-
ing the cowardly action of some per-
sons who got in before the guests az
rived and poured tar in thick quanti-
ties all over the floor. With the char
acteristic undauntedness of women,
measures were promptly taken to get
help, and numerous boys arrived with
sand and brooms and what not, and the
beginning of the dance was only de-
layed about half an hour, when every
thing went on as usual.

IMPERIAL Q
The Broadening of the Popular View
Brought About by the War.

inc bIOauSninS OF the EOpulaT Wow
Brought About by the War.
From the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat: Every process of our national
thought and action has been marvel
ously q~uickened, just as the Roman
intellect was fired when Rome was ex-
banded from a municipality into an
empire. Throughout the length and
breadth of this land petty politics is
losing it's wonted SAVIOR for the aver
age American. Why should he trouble
his head about parochial affairs when
he is confronted with questions affect
ing the fate of great dependencies Ell
Their at u own doors or at the antip-
odes; why should he lie awake about
the sayings and doings of local politi-
clans when n hour may bring news
decisive of the fate of an army or of
a fleet of battleships on which the
hopes of the country rest? This was
shown by a telegram addressed to the
Times-Democrat on Sunday last from a
little village in Mississippi. The tele-
gram read as follows: please wire
us Immediately, at our expense, the ex-
act situation in the Philippines and the
whereabouts of SIMPSONS and Schley's
fleets; also what attitude France is as
Stunning in the execution of the neutral
ity laws in Martinique 1t requires
no very vivid imagination to realize
the scene when the telegram was sent.
Evidently there had been a long and
thorough discussion of all the tremen-
dous questions that confront the coun-
try, and, at last, the anxiety to know
the latest developments became c.
t~rollable, and the telegraph was in
voked. The mental attitude of this
Mississippi hamlet is universal, from
the Atlantic to The Pacific and from the
lakes to the gulf. 1t means that TO-
coo, 900 of Anglo-SaXons have awaken
ed to the fact that there is other bust
ness in life besides raising crops,
ipulating stocks and ''%scalping" mar
kets. We have sometimes forgotten
that nations are not great because they
are rich, and that, in the eternal order
of things, they can only be permanent
ly rich because they are great. The
lesson will not be forgotten in our
time. The real basis of our Astounding
prosperity in recent years must be
found in the limitless devotion with
which millions of Americans, in the
four terrible years, laid everything on
the altar of their political principles.
Now once more the foundation of our
national life is to be widened and
strengthened, not by war between
brother and brother, but between the
reunited nation and a power that
stands for all the most reactionary
methods and policies of the Bourbon
school of thought and action.
