POETRY AND SCIENCE.

A Blank Verse Description OF the
Subtle Magnetic Fluid.
Philosophers and physicists are com
monty supposed 10 be too deeply en-
crossed in dry facts and figures 10 have
time for the poetical Interpretation of
science, but the definition of electricity
given to an inquiring young woman by
the late Calico Fcrraris is direct con-
trndiction of this. To her question he
answered.:
Since Maxwell has demonstrated
that the vibrations of light might con-
sist of periodical changes OF electro
magnetic forces, and MS Hertz has given
MaNwell's theory an experimental basis
with his proof of the similarity existing
between electromagnetic waves and
light waves, the belief becomes more
md more firmly established that this
light-conveying ether and the medium
in which the electric and magnetic
forces act are identical. Therefore l
may well reply TO the question, o studi-
GUS and charming maiden: What is
eleetricity?' that 1t is not only the fear
full agent which at times lights IN the
heavens suddenly and startles the soul
with its loud clapping of thunder, but
also the life-giving and Overwhelming
u which, as light and heat, brings
forth the magic color and the breath of
life, which transmits to thy heart the
pulsations OF the universe and awakens
in thy soul the charm of glance and
smiles"

END OF A LONG CAREER
Death of Hon. Justin Morrill, of
Vermont.
HE DIED IN THE HARNESS
A Calm and Peaceful Death Came to
the Aged Senator in the se;h
Year OF His Liie-Pneumonia
the Cause.

Washington. Dec. sS-The Hon. Jus
senator from Vermont. died at 20 min
utes past 1 o'clock this morning in the
s9th year OF his age. after an Illness OF
less than a week. With him when the
end came were his sister-in-law, Miss
Louise Swan; his son. James. and
Colonel S. r. Chamberlain. an intimate
friend. Senator Proctor was in the
house at the time, as were also several
other friends. The senator never recov-
cred from the unconscious state into
which he lapsed early in the day, and
his death was calm and peaceful.
The immediate cause of death was
pneumonia. which developed from an
attack of grip contracted about a week
ago. The venerable senator was con-
fined 10 his home but seven days. De-
spite his advanced age he attended to
his senatorial duties faithfully and reg
ularly went TO the capitol. About 10
days ago the weather here was cold.
raw and foggy, and his physician thinks
that exposure to its rigors brought on
an attack OF grip. The day before con-
gress adjourned for the Christmas holi-
days the senator was unable to leave
his residence. He grew no better as the
days went on. his low vitality, due to
advancing age, being unable To resis.
the disease. On Christmas night Il
developed into pneumonia and from
that time until the end he sank steadily.
No definite funeral arrangements have
yet been made. but IL Is altogether like
ly that public services will be held in
the senate chamber. The remains Of
Mrs. Morrill,. who died during the pres
ent year. are now in a vault at Rock
Creek cemetery, near this city. and il
may be that the senator's body may BE-
deposited there pending removal 20
Strafford. VT. where n mausoleum is iu
course of construction.
In the death of Senator Morrill, the
senate lost it's senior member in point of
service and its Oldest in age. He had
served continuously i'm the senate for
more than 81 ;. ,ars. and he was SS years
OF age on the l4tn of April last. With
the single exception of Hon. Galusna
Grow OF the house of representatives
he was the only man i'm congress whose
congressional career began prior to the
beginning of the civil war. and he had
the honor over Mr.. Grow i'm that his con-
gressional service has been continuous
covering i'm the senate and the house
combined almost Al years.

Missoula. Dec. 27.-The long distance
telephone line between Missoula and

message to the Standard Office In Mis-
soula. saying:
You have been appointed on the test
committee for the new line and the first
message from the coast TO Missoula will
come to you"
IL was o'clock tonight when the
call came and the announcement was
made that the line was finished and the
coast was within speaking distance from
Missoula. A Standard reporter who re-
sponded To the call almost dropped the
receiver when he heard the voice of the
manager of the Portland office. Hello
NIssoula," came as clear and distinct as
IL the speaker were at Bonner. Hello.
Portland was sent back in the most
Bandmannesque tone that the repor- n
could assume. IL evidently had its ef-
fect-the tone-for Portland asked:
who are you

Your voice sounds so clear that /

YOU much more plainly than l do Hell

The Portland manager was Informed
that they consume different drinks over

cepted this eNpla as satisfactory

quest for some message To be given TO
Montana through the Standard In the
morning. said:
Tell the Montana people that we are
near nelghbors now and hope we will
become better acquainted. We ought to
be good friends"
Then good-byes were exchanged and
Portland decided To experiment once
more with the voice OF Superintendent
Sommers al Helena. From Wallace. too
there came a message of congratulation
TO Missoula upon the successful compile

it's success was so gratifying that she

Little Fear Of Riots when the Transfer
Takes Place

Washington. Dec. 27.-Secretary Al
ger this afternoon received cable
gram from General Brooke announcing
his arrival at Havana, where he Will
assume the post OF military governor
OF Cuba. The preparations making by
the American military commanders in

reason for apprehension. while 50 tar
