Discovery of Renex Action.

Marshall Hail. the famous English ply
stefan, made his classical observations on
the phenomena that henceforth were to
be known as reflex action. In 1882, while
experimenting one day with decapitat-
ed newt, he observed that the headless
creatures limbs would contract in direct
response to certain stimuli Such a re-
Spouse could no longer be secured if the
spinal nerves supplying part were sew
cred; hence It was clear that responsive
centers exist in the spinal cord capable
OF receiving a sensory message and of
transmitting a motor impulse in reply, a
function hitherto supposed to be reserved
for the brain. Further studies went to
show that such phenomena of reflex &C
ton on the part Of the centers lying out
side the range of consciousness, both in
the spinal cord and in the brain itself,
are extremely common; that, In short,
they enter constantly into the activities
Of every living organism and have most
important share in the sum total OF vital
movements; hence Halls discovery must
always stand as one of the great mile
stones of the advance of neurological sci
ence.-Henry Smith Williams in Har-
per's Magazine.

MoRMNa M rhr ALPs

Upsn the distance of the east had grown e..
A HEAT that made the dim horizon blue.
Tho blue was stealing upward through the stars
But vaguely dark the cloud sea hung beneath
Within whose silent Good the world was drowned.
Beyond the misty gulf, through furthest space
There stretched a continent Of snowclad Alps;
10, there was deaths land, erisy white and dim,
With hueless clouds like specters guarding II.
We felt the dawn was growing, but, alas
A dawn unreal, dawn without bird,
Without dewy scent or waking soundl
Slowly the Alps took on denser white,
with outlines clear emerging into day;
The mists were gently stripped from distant
peaks,
The clouds grew gray with ilmy sprays upcurlsd.
Above, the stars, like Intellectual points,
No longer pierced the deepening blue Of day.
Whittier and clearer grew the Alpine hosts.
The eastern sky famed reddcr while one gazed,
And iaintening purple climbed the zeniths height.
Then suddenly was cast upon the sky
Far in the west glow Of rudy light,
That settled earthward till iutting peak
Flushed opaline amid the daze Of white.
Anon another snowcap blushed Response
II was as II torch unseen were swung.
Mount after mount the dying radiance caught,
Flashing il back again from FURNISHED breasts
As mornings pink ran down the icy waste
The east unsheathed dazzling tip Of fame.

A. 0. Bjurseth has closed the deal
and now is without a home. He has
put up notices that he will sell all OF

his oats and wheat. He expects to
leave here about the first Of May;
thinks he will go west to the coast.
News came down today that l.. P.

has exploded, but no one was hurt !; it
made it quite lively for a time for
the boys that were near. They heard
the noise at another mill two miles
away and soon saw the steam and
hitched up a team and a lot of the
men started up there but when they
arrived there they found all quiet
and no one hurt; but the roof of the
engine house was scattered in all di.
rections. It was close shave for all
of the mon that were around the mill

The Progress of the Trans Slberia
Railway.

For a long distance toward the
Pacific Ocean it is expected to lay
the rails of the Trans-Siberian Rail
way at the rate of four miles per day.
The road is now being built without
foreign employees, except for a num-
Der of Italian stone cutters. The
rails are being turned out by subsi-
died Siberian foundries. Every
seven miles side track is being
built, so that the entire route may be
cleared for military trains, should it
become necessary. A train de luxe
now runs once a week from Moscow
as far east as Tomsk. From that
point a second-class passenger train
runs three times a week as far as
1rkutsk. The cost of a second class
ticket from Moscow to Lake Baikal,
where the government is now laying
rails, is about $40, and the journey
lasts some twelve days Scientific

look the similar achievement of the
Great Northern railway in esta blisl-
ing quick mail communication from
New York, via Chicago and st. Paul,
to Seattle, and thence to the Orient.
The fast Pacific mail service by way
Of st. Paul TO the Puget Sound
country is now quite as remarkable
as that via Omaha to San Francis
co. On January 8 the Great North
ern placed in service q fast through
mail and passenger train from Chi
cago to Seattle, on which the mail
pouches never once leave the car al
ter the transfer at St. Paul.
From New York to Seattle the
time by this Northern route is just
four days. East OF St. Paul the
mails are carried OIL several roads,
but west OF that city-on a run ex-
ceeding the eastern portion by 500
miles-the mail goes through with
out change across five great states
ON the tracks OF the Great Northern.
Forty-fve minutes are consumed in
transferring the mails in Chicago
and thirty minutes in St. Paul. Al
ter that the Northern Oriental flyer
does the rest without q pause until
the Asiatic mails go on board the
steamers OF the Japan Mail Steam
ship Company Both the import
nnce OF Seattle rs an Oriental ship
ping point and the speed OF the
Great Northern transcontinental
mail service make the achievement a
noteworthy feature OF American rail
way progress.
The Puget Sound cities have al
ready become formidable rivals OF
San Francisco as regards the freight
and passenger traffic for Japan,
China, and Asiatic ports. The
steamer route from seattle to the
Orient seems to be more free from
81 orms than that from San Fran
cisco, and us a large proportion OF
| The Oriental exports are products Of
! Jhe Northwest the freight traffic has
naturally taken this course. The
TACT that the full capacity OF the Ja-
pan Mail Steamship Company's
boats is engaged 50 far ahead as
August, is in itself striking proof
OF the growing Importance OF the
Oriental trade that has it's outlet at
Seattle.
For these and other reasons the
fast mail to the Pacific coast, for
which the Great Northern holds the
contract, is fully as important as
that which daily rushes across the
plains and mountains to San Fran
cisco. The Great Northern has been
as much alive to the keen rivalry for
speed and honors as have the North
western, Rock Island, and Burling-
ton, and it is but fair that the
achievements of it's fast daily trans
continental mail should be included
in the chapter of railway advance
ment now being written by the West
ern MISUNDERSTANDING Tribune,

The bill to increase the gross
earnings tax on railroads from three
to four per cent has passed the house
and will no doubt pass the senate
also. While we realize that this in
crease in the gross earnings tax is a
popular measure, as it apparently
hits the railroads, we are neverthe-
less OF the opinion that a reduction
OF the freight rates would have been
far more beneficial to the people OF
the Red river valley. With a reduc.
tion in freight rates corresponding
to the amount OF this increase tax,
it is easy to see that the Red river
valley with it's long hauls to termin,
al points would reap greater benefits
than can possibly come to it by
:filching a like amount from the COM
pany by n gross earnings tax. 30
