The glowworm' q light ia said to have
been shown to be due to the emission Of
rays similar to Roentgen'a. Three hun
bred glowworms were caught near
Kioto and placed before Photographic
plates screened from the light by sew
eral thicknesses Of black paper, together
with plates Of brass, copper and alumni
ium. A piece Of cardboard with a hole
in it was placed between the metal and
the Photographic plate, and for two
days the arrangement was kept in a
dark chamber, sheltered from all foreign
lights. On developing the plate It
was found to be blaokened, except the
part opposite the hole in the cardboard.
The raysof the glowworm would appear
therefore to penetrate metal and excite
luminosity in cardboard. When there is
nothing between the sensitive plato and
the glowworm, the rays are said to be-
have like ordinary light, but in travers.
ing some metals and cardboard they
seem to acquire properties like that Of
Z rays, or it may be that the ordinary
glowworm emits K as we'll as ordinary
rays.-Revue Soientifque.

VIII Locate at Amherst.

The Fargo Forum makes the follow.
ing mention of Rev. VIM. Ballou, for
merly of this city:
Rev. William Ballou-formerly
pastor of the First Unitarian Society
of Fargo-has been duly installed as
pastor Of the Unitarian Church at Am
herst, Mass. Mr.. Ballou came to Fargo
several years ago and organized the
Unitarian Society. He won the conf
dence and respect Of this entire COM
munity-and the lovo of all those with
whom he was most intimately asso-
ciated. His work here was wonderfully
efective-and the results Of his labors
in Fargo will last longer than this gen
Grafton lasts. The Unitarian Church
at Amherst is to be most sincerely con-
graduated at having secured the ser.
vices of this talented minister and gen.
tleman. And in this sentiment every
resident of Fargo during Mr.. Ballouis
ministry hereof all churches and de-
nominations-and of no church or de-
nomination-most heartily concurs.

Goine without sleep,

II is an interesting question to studi.
Gus people how long a man can 60
without sleep. A physician asserts that
no healthy man can overwork because
eventually nature will compel him to
fall asleep at his task. A Journalist re.
Gently claimed to have worked - hours
without sleeping. Humboldt said that
when q young man he required only
two hours sleep each night, but that in
his old age he found he really needed
as many as three or four. Victims sub.
jeoted to the Chinese torture of being
kept continually awake die on or before

example, however, is that of one Of the

years without sleep and to have remain.

The Division Cones Back.

The order changing freight division
headquarters from Devils Lake to
Larimore didn't last any longer than
practical railroad men thought it
would last. It was revoked last week
and Devils Lake is again division
headquarters. The trouble wa that
the run from Minot to Larimore-
about 1870 miles-:was longer than
either the engines on the train crews
could stand. One engineer, for in
stance, put in sixty-seven consecutive
hours work making this run. It was
too much for human endurance. The
railroad men are glad that the order
has been revoked and it is needless to
say that the business men Of Devils
Lake are also happy.

Progress of Threshing,

This has been a fairly good week for
threshing and many thousand bushels
Of wheat and flax, which it was feared
had been spoiled by previous bad
weather, have passed through the
threshing machines since Sunday.
And the grain appears to be in better
condition than was anticipated. Much
of the wheat that was in the shock is,
of course, damp and In bad condition,
but it can be saved with proper care
and many people think that it will
bring a comparatively good price be-
fore spring. It will probably take two
weeks Of good weather to complete the

The New Bishop of North DAKOTA.

The New Bishop of North Dakota.
Rev. Samuel G. Edsall, who has been
appointed missionary bishop of North
Dakota by the Episcopal house of
bishops at its Washington convention,
is we'll known in Chicago as the pastor
OF st. Peters parish, Belmont avenue.
He is an Illinois man by birth, a native
Of the town of Dixon, and son Of J. X.
Edsall, a former attorney general of
the state. Mr.. Edsall was educated ut
the Racine academy during the prin-
cipalship of DR.. DeKoven, and at first
selected the law for his profession.
He was, in fact, admitted to the bar in
1881, and began its practice, but was
attracted to the ministry through the
missionary work in which he volunta
rily engaged. In 1889 he decided that
q professional religious life suited him
best, and he undertook his studies in
theology under Bishop McLaren at
the Wstern Theological seminary.
He was received into holy orders in
1889. Two years before that time he
had begun work by establishing st.
Peters mission in Belmont avenue.
During his passionate the mission
waxed strong until it has now grown
to be n of the most Furnishing
parishes in the diocese. Rev. Mr..
Edsall was a strong candidate for the
episcopate of Iowa at the recent cleo
ton, in which Rev. Thomas E. Greene
was the successful man.

The Official Ballot.

The INTER- OCEAN completed this
week the printing of the official ballots
for Ramsey county, there being three
separate ballots. The main ballot is
1119x28H inches and is somewhat
smaller than the one used two years
ago. The woman's ballot is 5hx8 in
size and the ballot on which the pro-
posed constitutional amendment is
printed is about 4x11. In voting a
straight ticket it is only necessary to
place q cross or x mark in the square
Immediately under the name of the
party which appears at the head of the
ticket. To vote a split ticket a cross
or x mark should be placed in the
square which appears after the name
of the candidate for whom the voter
desires to cast his ballot. In this re-
spect the law has been materially
changed, as two years ago the mark
placed before the name Of the can
didate. 1t takes abont 1900 ballots
1000 of each kind-to supply Ramsey
county with tickets and it is expected
that with favorable weather on cleo
ton day at least 1000 votes will be cast.
