The eminent English scientist, Lord

words in such formidable array as to

magnetism, he once defined an ideal
magnet as IAN Infinitely long. In

and longitudlnally magnetized bar"
and the misguided students vocifer-
ously cheered, which caused the ven-
cradle professor to say: "Silence!"
The definition was made and cheered,
with the usual reprimand, frequently
during the lectures. Once, near the
conclusion. however. the students did
not cheer, but Lord Kelvin promptly
raped out "Silenceg' as before.

by electing Senator Snyder. of Ches-

ed the administration of President
Mckinley during the recent war, and
he praised the work of the charitable
institutions, saying they should re
ceive appropriations from the Legis-
lature as large as the revenues of the
government win permit. Snyder said
It was not within his province to make
suggestions to the Senate but he de-
sired TO call the attention of the Sen
ators to several questions of import
ance. He recommended the increase,
IL possible, of the public school appro-
priation; the enaction of the ballot
law so simple that the uneducated
voter can exercise his franchise with
out fear of making mistakes; the
building Of good roads, so much to the
benefit Of the agricultural districts;
the revocation of the patent land lien
act; the carrying out of which, he de-
clared, would entail more cost than
the claims are worth. and the holding
of brief session of the Legislature.

A considerable sum has of necessity

The possibility of distress has been
avoided by the employment of the ma
tive laborers, who might have suffered
on account of the bad condition of the
plantations after the war. At no time
has there been any actual distress. On

suffer for want of food, as nature sup

many of his neighbors on adjacent ISL
