the bullion first, from him it goes to the

Tonight the tailors of St Paul will as
sembIe at Assembly halls, and be ad-
dressed by E. S. Christophersen, of Rock
ford, ILL.,, general organizer of the Inter
national TaiIors Union of America. Mr..
Christophersen is prominently identified
with the labor movement, having been
connected with the tailOrs' union for sew
eral years as a member, and in various
official capacities, and spends consider
able time in travelling around the coun-
try in the interest of his organization.
The special object of his trip to ST. Paul
at the present time is TO bring about
better understanding, if possible, between
the international and the tailors union.
The relations between the two bodies be-
came so strained several months ago that
the St Paul union seeded from the inter-
national, and has been going it alone ever
since Mr.. Christophersen comes to st.
Paul to see If their differences could not
be adjusted, and he will not leave the
city until every reasonable effort in that
direction has been made. He has had
several conferences with the officers of
the union, who have explained the rea-
sons that led the organization to sever
its connection with the international.
From information CLEANED from Mr..
Christop kersen the meeting to be held at
Assembly halls this evening will result
in a consolidation of the two factions,
and unionism pure and simple, will be in
vogue after tonight.

AS soon as Prof. Olan had satisfied him
self that he really had made an impor-
tant discovery he FASTENED to this city to
make it known to those more eminent
in his profession. These chemists were
astounded, and told him his discovery
was worth a fortune to him. They adj
vised him to keep it's elements a secret
and have it patented. To this, however,
Olan did not agree. He said he was will
ing to give 1t to the scientific world for
what it was worth, and this he has
done. Chemists who were seen by a re-

Interesting Subject.
Chicago Inter Ocean
Science has calculated that an average
puff of cigar smoke sets free over 2,OOO, =
900 COO tiny particles, a Whit from a pipe
liberates over 1900, 900, 300 of these parti-
cleg, ard one from a cigarette starts $780,
G0,G1p of them flying through the sur
rounding atmosphere.
\ very curious fact concerning tobacco
smoke is the remarkable change in color
which it undergoes after entering the
mouth. From the burning end of a cigar
the smoke issues in deep blue threads,
while that which is expelled from the
mouth is of a decidedly brownish tint.
The difference is to be accounted fer by
the fact that the minutesl particles have
an intense affinity for moisture When
tobacco smoke is drawn into the mouth
it's smallest particles are immedla tely de-
tached from the rest ny the presence of
moist surfaces, to which they fly and
lodge.
Besides particles. smoke contains sew
eral gases and Napors. Though Sir Wal
ter Raleigh won his famous wager with
Queen Elizabeth, he took no account Of
these when he attempted to show her the
weight of his smoke by subtracting the
weight of the final ashes from that of the
unburnt cigar, and his demonstration
would not hold good with any scientist
today
1t has often been quoted that a grain
OF nicotine, administered all at once,
would kill the strongest dog, and from
this have been argued it's terrific effects
on the body of a human being. While
this statement is undoubtedly true it is
somewhat misleading. In order to COM
nit suicide by smoking, the dog would
have to consume 400 strong cigars, one
right after the other. He could put him
self out of the world much more easily by
eating the boxes.
Whatever the i'll effects of tobacco when
used to excess, in moderation it acts on
an adult as a mild sedative.
