An Interesting Experiment.

That the earth revOlves on it's axis
car be proved by a simple experiment.
Fill a medium sized bowl nearly full
Of water and place it upon the floor Of
a Don that is not exposed to Earring
from the street. Upon the surface Of
the water sprinkle a coating Of lycopo-
dium powder. Then take powdered
charcoal and draw a straight black
line two inches long upon the coating
the line should be north and south.
After this is done lay upon the floor
a stick sc that it will be exactly paral-
lei with the charcoal line. Any station
airy object in the room will answer as
well, provided it is parallel with the
line. II the bowl is left undisturbed
for several hours, it will be seen that
the black mark has turned toward the
parallel object and has moved from
east to west, in a direction opposite to
the movement of the earth on it's axis.
This proves that the earth in revolv-
ing has carried the water with it, but
the powder on the surface has been
left a little behind.

To Extract q Splinter.

The easiest way to extract a splinter
deep in the flesh Of the hand or foot is
BY means Of steam. A rather wide
mouthed bottle is filled two-thirds full
OF boiling water, and the injured spot
~ held close yer the opening. The
suction draws the flesh down, and a
little additional pressure is used to as
sist the exit Of the intruder. In a
few moments the steam extracts the
splinter. and the Inflammation rapidly

WHEN LIGHTS ARE LOW.

st and listen to the wind
That comes from out the distant hill.
1t comes and croons in an undertone
OF alien regions vast and lone.
OF pleasures lost in a land unknown,
Then steals away, and all is still.
IT'S good to listen to the wind
When rooms are hushed and lights are low.
When those we love have come and gone,
IT'S weary to be left behind
To miss sweet eyes where late they shone,
To look for what we r,ay not find.
Long cherished forms that haunt the mind
Soft voices that were once too kind;
To live and miss them one by one
Is weary work. Who'd stay behind
When those we love have come and gomez

THE GREAT FALLS CYCLE PATH
Meeting of the Washington GOOD
Roads Committee.

A meeting of the Washington Good
| Roads Committee. which is now actively
engaged in constructing the Great Falls
cycle path, was held last night at the resi-
dence of Dr. W. W. Alleger, 949 T Street
northwest.
Although the fund for the construction
of this cycle path is only month old,
there has already been collected $500, with
SEQ more subscribed. The weeks collec-
tons, which were turned in last night 10
the treasurer Charles Z. Wood, amounted
to $50. The committee having the mat
ter in charge feel very jubilant over their
success, and promise TO have the path
constructed the entire distance from An
glers' Club House to Great Falls by the
9Th of July.
This Will be the only cycle path in the
country that has ever been constructed
entirely by the contributions Of riders, and
the interest which all wheelmen, whether
they belong to clubs or not, are taking in
the enterprise leads the committee to be-
lieve that when this path is completed
another will be begun, and from now on
the construction of good roads for Wheel
men around the District will go rapidly
forward.
The estimated cost of this path is ST.
900, and many subscription lists are now
being circulated. A red button, bearing
the words, Great Falls Cycle PATH" is
given to each subscriber, no matter how
small his subscription. This button Will
be worn by those using the path as sort
OF badge of honor. as it shows that they
helped construct it
The construction OF the path and route
has received the most careful attention OF
the committee. and some membsr of that
body visits the work every day. The foun-
dation or bed is of rock, with several
inches of clay rolled into it. The top
coating of four inches OF cinders is then
put on and packed down. The width OF
the path will be at least six feet, and in
many places wider.
The committee will meet again on Fri
day night in Parlor 10 of the Willard, as
the guests of Clarence Carson.

The Growth of Cremation.

From the New York Commercial Adyertiser.)
Ii is significant, of the growth of sentiment in
favor of cremation that bill providing for COM
pulsory cremation has passed the first committee
stage in the British Parliament, and has met
as yet with little opposition. The bill applies
only TO cases where death is due 10 diseases like
cholera, smallpox, typhoid fever, scarlet fever,
diphtheria, and tuberculosis, which would indi-
cate that it was based solely sanitary grounds.
But it is noteworthy that of the chief rea-
sons advanced in support of the bill is that ere
nation would result in cheapening the cost Of
disposing Of the dead. This seems like carrying
practical considerations TO extreme, but il ap-
pears to have had great weight. Heretofore the
main objections to cremation have been senti-
mental, and all the sanitary benefts which were
promised from general adoption Of this prac-
tiee have been unable TO overcome them But the
matter OF expense seems TO have put the subject
in a new light TO the British people, especially
the British masses. and friends OF cremation are
predicting that il will be applied in all
cases Of death in Great Britain. 1t would be un-
safe however. to predict that cremation will be-
come general in this country right away the
same account. repeated efforts have been made
bv clergymen in the United States Of every de-
nomination to curb the tendency 10 e1travagance
in funerals. but they have had little effect up
TO the present, and il Is not likely that the old
method Of sepultuTe Will be discarded for some
ii ir, come.

The opening game between the Quakers
and Senators at Philadelphia yesterday was
won by the home team by the score of 3
to /. Mcfarland was knocked out Of the
box at an early stage of the proceedings
and Baker, who succeeded him was even
softer mark. Fifteen hits. fourteen of
which were singles, were made by Phila-
delphia during the five innings which the
game lasted. At the beginning of the
sixth the rain began to fall and the game
was called.
The Senators lonely tally was made by
Barry in the first inning. The left fielder
hit for two bases, went to third on wild
pitch, and stole home. Umpire Smith con-
ceived the idea that Padden had insulted
him and sent the mild hammered Senatorial
captain to the bench. Barry moving over
to short field and O'Brien going to left.
Fraser pitched a magnificent game for
the Quakers and had the visitors at his
mercy at nearly every point throughout the
contest. The hcme club played the bunt
game to perfection and time and again
batters tapped the ball lightly and reached
first base in safety.
Another game will be played with the
Quakers this afternoon when Dinneen or

heavy hitters: The score:

ESCAPE OF THE LAND PIRATES
Hunt for the Dynamite bandits Tenn
pGrarily Ended.

Casper, Wyo., June 10.-The man
hunt for six bandits who = held
up and dynamited an express
train on the Union Pacific week
ago has practically been abandoned for the
present. after having extended over 20C
miles of the worst mountainous country
In the West. The robbers made a circuit
of 200 miles in five days, carrying their
food with them. They escaped into the
Powder River country by swimming the
Powder River when that stream was a
raging torrent and the pursuers dared not
follow.
This daring act saved the six outlaws
at least for the present. The Powder
River country and the Hole in the Wal"
are connected by the Bad Lands. and from
one to the other the bandits can go freely
and count upon all the support they re-
quire. The Union Pacific management is
actively arranging to continue the hunt in
a systematic manner. Cowboys, pioneer
Indian fighters, and old border men are
being gathered for the campaign into the
Bad Lands. At least 100 armed men will
be recruited before a move is made.
