The sailing OF the Relief Ship.

It is now certain that the India
Relief Ship will said with a cargo OF
corn for the starving Hindocs some
time late in April. The "Christian
Herald" of New York will have ready
the $4,000 bushels of corn which it
has so generously pledged toward
the cargo. The question is whether
the people of the great western states
will furnish as much more to com
plete the cargo. Many communities
are responding generously. Cannot
something be done by those who
read this? The time is brief for
action but long enough if some
earnest man or woman will take the
matter up. Much can be done in ten
DAYS or two weeks. A mass meeting
called and presided over by the
mayor or some pastor followed by a
few hours work by two or three can
vassers, might result IN getting
enough money to put on board the
ship so or 100 bushels Of corn, and
this would carry number of people
through the famine. Is there not
some one who will start the move
lnent in the community? l will
receipt for money or if you prefer,
send the money to the Christian
Herald, Bible House, New York, and
the receipt of it will ;be duly acknow-
legged; but in that case kindly write
me what you have done. The fact
that the ship will be sent out by that
paper is sufficient guarantee that the
will be carefully and
wisely managed.

the low prices of grain that has

the movement has been started in

This is the prime object of the

cereal each fall and the association
proposes to hold it's grain until the
price is reached. In case a man
belongs to the association and can
not held his wheat, but must sell,
the association will do what it can
for its relief. There is to be no

CauCuSes on nay 5th,

The Republican County Commit,
tee met at the court house last Satur,
day afternoon in order to arrange for
the county convention which is to be
held at the court house May 9th to
elect delegates to the state convention
May 18th which elects delegates to
the national convention and to elect
delegates, to the congressional con-
vention at Moorhead May 18th, This
last convention will have two duties
to perform, first, to elect two deleg-
ates at large to the national conven-
ton, and second, to place in nomina-
ton the Republican candidate for
congressman in this district.
Chairman Ward Stone called the
meeting to order and O.P. Benson was
elected secretary. The question of
the basis of apportionment was first
taken up and after discussion it was
decided to go back to the 1896 ap-
portionmeut and as Chokio was not
a voting precinct at that time to
allow that village three delegates.
Primaries are required by the state
law to be held at the same day and
the committee therefore named $50
p. m. of Saturday, May 5th.
Chairman Stone reported that in
the matter of judicial convention he
had asked Chairman Steele of the
state committee to appoint one but
had not yet heard from him.

There are two facts regarding con-
sumption which, although long known
ana insisted upon by few sanitarians
ana physicians, have only recently been
generally admitted. 1t is upon these
two facts-the contagiousness of the
disease and its durability in the early
stages-that the modern sanatOrium
treatment of tuberculosis has been
founded. Consumption is not conta-
gious in the same sense as smallpox,
for If certain necessary precautions are
taken a tuberculous subject is little
more dangerous to the health of those
about him than is a we'll person; but
if these essentials are neglected the
danger is very great and very real.
Now among the very poor, especially
those living in large cities. it is prac-
tically impossible to enforce the observ-
ance of these precautions. and cOnse-
quently each cOnsumptive is a center
whence the disease may. and probably
will, spread in countless directions.
The transfer of such a patient to a
sanatOrium removes at one. a source
VI peru ~ the community ana at tne
same time gives the patient himself the
best. and often his only, chance or re-
covery. The main elements of treat
ment in a sanatorium are ar aDund-
ance of fresh and pure air. wholesome
food, rest and exercise in rhe proper
proportions and above all absolute
cleanliness ana the prompt destruction
of the bacillus-laden expectorated mat
ters. Formerly sanatoria were Access
sible only to the well-to-dO. and the
poor. those who need this form of treat
ment the most. were barred. \ move
ment has started recently looking to
the erection of institutions for tine treat
ment of the poor at the expense of the
State, and to Massachusetts, with its
: State hospital for cOnsumptives at Rut-
land, belongs the honor of being the
first of the United States to build such
a sanatorium. When not only every
State, but every large city as well, has
similar institutions for the treatment
and the sanitary education of the con-
sumptive. we may hope to see the fatal
titles from this great white plague" be-
come as rare as those from whopping-
cough or cold in the head.

veloped that the mosquito, or certain
species of mosquito, the anopheles, is,
unquestionab.y the agent, II not the
direct cause of the wide spread OF MAJ
laria through all the tropical countries.
Major Ross report says: I'VE have,
found (a) that local species of mosqui-l
toes carry malaria. % That these spe-,
cies breed In a few stagnant puddles.
For many scientific reasons we have,
come to the conclusion that the truly,
malarlal fever is caused solely by thd
probably entirely by the.
anopheles species. we estimate, then.
that most of the malarial fever can be
got rid of at almost no cost except of
a little energy"
In the course of his investigation he
has studied the mosquito most thor
oughly. His treatment of the insect is
quite remarkable. The most striking
machine which he uses to facilitate his
research is a guillotine, which cuts the
insect into sixty distinct and separate
tail can be studied under the micro
scope.
In order to do this the body of the
insect is hardened by successive treat
ments with various kinds of acids and
spirits. 1t is then plunged in melted
wax. When this wax cools it sets hard
around him and enables the keen blade
of the guillotine to cut him into the
most minute shavings, each of which
can be mounted and then examined
under the microscope.
In this way the minute stomach of
the insect Is stud ed carefully. and the
deadly microhe which he keeps there
discovered and examined.

VELOCITY OF FALLING

In Vacuum All Fall Alike Not So
in the Atmosphere.
The old-time query as to which of
the two, a pound of lead or a pound of
feathers, dropped from the same height
at the same time, would first reach the
ground, seems ever new. Some one
propounded 1t to the wise man of the
Scientific American last week, using
instead of lead and feathers an ounce
and a tone of iron. And this is how
the wise man responded:
This matter was put to the test Of
experiment by Calico at the Leaning
Tower of Pisa in the seventeenth cen
fury, with two balls of lead, weighing
one and ten pounds respectively. The
followers of Aristotle had taught for
centuries that the balls would fall in
proportion to their weights. the heav-
Ter one falling the faster. Calico point
ed out the fact that the lighter one
would reach the ground first because
the air would resist the fall of the
larger one more than it would that Of
the smaller. He had previously dem
onstrated the law of falling bodies that
the velocity under the action of grav-
ity Is independent of the mass of the
body. Experiment confirmed his posi-
ton. The small ball reached the earth
first. In vacuum all bodies fall with
the same velocity through any distance.
AS a practical statement, 1t may be
taken as true that small dense bodies
will conform to the theoretical laws.
falling any distance less than 200 feet,
In the atmosphere. But with an ounce
and ton there would be a perceptible
difference. The ounce ball would fall
the faster. Facts like this are now
adays demonstrated by even elemen-
tary students in almost every class n
physics In the country"
