our globe. then 1t is obvious that a far less
amount of useless heat has been radiated away
into space than would proceed from a molten
globe 1t seems credible to Professor Chamber
lain that such state of things would admit Of
as long period Of habitability as the other
theory. perhaps longer one.
Another of the fundamental assumptions of
LORD Kelvin to which Professor Chamberlain
takes exception relates to the sun. All physicists
mold that the compression of matter develops
heat and Helmholtz has explained the main
tenance Of solar heat not by providing a supply
Of fuel, but merely by showing that an amount
OF contraction almost inappreciable would
able the sun to continue to radiate the tremen-
dous amount Of thermal energy which it is
throwing off. Indeed, 1t is granted that under
certain conditions the condensation Of gaseous
body would increase it's temperature at a certain
definite rate. But when it comes to estimating
the exact rate at which this phenomenon has
taken place in the sun a good deal depends on
the question whether the sun is homogeneous
mass or whether its materials irregulary
distributed. The Chicago geoogist thinks that
some important factors have been left out Of the
calculation Of Helmholtz and his followers
Moreover this theory leaves out of sight various
possibilities Of latent energy which may have
affected the rate Of increase Of temperature
Hence, II is argued, the period Of time which has
passed since the sun attained sufficient warmth
to maintain life on the earth may have been
much shorter than Lord Kelvin supposes, or, on
the other hand. much greater.
Both Lord Kelvin and his critic have consid-
cred the age Of the earth abode fitted for
life" They have not discussed the question as
to the antiquity If the material composing this
planet The fac; is scientific men hold that
matter like force, is indestructible. They i'm
agne that it has undergone many transforma-
tions and concede that it may undergo others

Brayton to be Incorporated.

During the latter part of last week
a number of our citizens proceeded to
take active measures toward the in
corporation of the Town of Brayton.
A petition signed by the required
number of legal voters was filed with
the court and the following commit
tee was appointed to call and hold an
election on the question of incorpora-
ton: l.. f. Miller, r. M. Pollock,
j. P. Bendixen, Marion Z. jenkins
and j. A. Slender. The said election
is to be held at the schoolhouse in
Brayton, on Friday, April IA, 1899,
between the hours of 8 A. NJ. and
6 P. NJ, at which time and place it
will be decided by a majority of the
legal voters within the proposed
limits of the corporation, whether the
village of Brayton shall, or shall not,
become an incorporated town. 1t
looks quite probable to presume thai
the incorporation proposition will
carry. although we understand that
there is some opposition from parties
claiming that in the event Of incor-
poration, a saloon will at once be
licensed and permitted to run here,
thus causing bad moral effect on the
inhabitants Of the town.

Says Beef Was Chemically Treated.

LEAvENwoRTII, Kan, March 2O-The
army beef court of inquiry concluded
the taking of testimony at Fort Leaven-
worth at noon yesterday and departed
for Chicago, where the sessions will be
resumed this morning. The sole wit
ness examined Sunday was Sergeant
Edward Mason, troop A, first United
States cavalry, located at Fort Robin
son, Neb., who served as regimental
commissary sergeant at Lakeland, Fla,
and during the Cuban campaign. Ser
geant Mason's testimony was probably
the most direct that has been adduced
since the court left Chicago, witness de-
claring that meat received at Lakeland
for use in his regiment was "undoubt-
eddy chemically treated" An agent of
Armour & Co., he furthur testified,
"told me at the time that this meat had
been treated with what was called pre-.
servaiine. Itwas as if it had been painted
over with something like paraffine
wax Witness had refused to accept
the meat, as it was undoubtedly
spoiled" All the meat received at
Lakeland had this white appearance.
Sergeant Mason was interrogated indi.
vidually by each member Of the court

mony.

She has always made home happy
A noble record left,
a legacy of memory sweet
To those she left bereft.
And this the testimony given
BY those who loved her best
She always made home happy
My kind friend now at rest.
A noble life, but written not
In any book of fame;
Among the list of noted ones
None ever saw her name.
Only her own household knew
The victories she had won,
And none but they can testify
How we'll her work was done.
Kind to all who came her way
a loving heart and pure,
And often when her spirits sank
She'd patiently endure.
We marked her cheerful spirit
When bearing one by one
Her many burdens up the hill
Till all her work was done.
And tho is stilled her weary head
Forever, from our sight
And she has vanished from he home
That she had made so bright.
Her family have a rich gift left
One money could not buy;
The memory of her noble life
Whose record is on high.
