LOST PACKAGE OF BONDS.
1t Flew out of the Express Car and

Scventy-siX thousand dollars lying

what happened short time ago in
Kansas The state school fund com
Imissioners had arranged to purchase
that amount of Reno county bonds
rhe bonds were sent to be approved
but on the appointed day they We're

tells the res. OF the story:
Superintendent Nelson received a
telegram from the Reno county com
ml@sioners asking why the bonds had
not been sent Nelson replied that
they had been, The Reno county poo-
pie wired back that they had never
been received, and that they had no
trace Of them. Nelson called on the
express office for an explanation. fhe
express people searched their books
and said that a package answering
that description had left the Topeka
office for Hutchinson on Saturday.
The matter began to look serious,
ana the express company investigated
it's records to ascertain what messen-
ger was on that train. telegram
was sent to him asking if he knew
anything of a certain package bound
for Hutchinson from Topeka
He replied that he didn't know for
sure, but that a little package blew
out of the express car door as he was
bound west on Saturday. and might
have been the one wanted He further
told the company to ascertain the
value Of the package, and he woulf
pay for 1t out OF his salary. The
company wired back, "Seventy-six
thousand dollars" and the express
messengers hair stood on end
The first thing he did was to get
"lay-off" and take the first train for
the station nearest the place whore he
remembered the package disappearing
He went out to the exact spot and
after hunting for some time found the
missing package in the weeds by the
side Of the track, exactly where il had
blown.
He had had the car door open on nc
count Of the heat, and Kansas zephyr
came along and whisked the package
out Of the open door The messenger
did not think It worth stopping the
train for, but he VIII never make such |

ETHER WAVES.

From The purely scientific side the
phenomena of wireless teleSraphy are
most marvellous They show us that
this remarkable medium, the ether
which encompasses MS about On every
side. penetrating the denSCSt as we'll
as the rayeSt forms Of matter. and til'-
ING the whole Of celestial space, is in
a state of endless disturbance, crossed
ana rerrOssed by waves i'll infinite
variety In his address on the Sin
Gateways of knowledge" Lord kel-
vim has called attention to the vast
gap between four hundred vibrations
per second, the sound of a rather high
tenor voice. and four hundred million
millions per second the number of
vibrations corresponding to dull red
light, and therefore the lowest rate in
the spectrum" But now that Hertz has
given us ether waves millions of miles
| long. how enormously has this range
| been widened? Within this range
| there is room for twenty senses III
place OF five, each equal in range to
those we have at present. And if each
should reveal to us As much as does
| The eye, what an amazing wealth OF
| knowledge wUUld be ours" Indeed,
! Lodge has suggested an electrical
| theory of vision based on coherer &C
ton But why may not these Hert-
IAN waves have been already utilized
by our organism?
We are told that the day that Gen,
Gordon was killed at Khartoum the
people in the streets and bazaars OF
Cairo knew of it, though the distance
in direct line is a thousand miles
and no telegraph connects these cities
| And British officer in Alghanistan
narrates that in formation of the in
tended movement of troops during the
war at distances fifty or one hundred
miles away was known to the natives
at these points almost Immediately
though no signaling OF any sort could
be detected What worlds of pos
sible sensation lie all about us in
these ether waves, and when these are
! fully recognized with what tremendous
capabilities will the human race be
endowed, In the eloquent words OF

MANAGEMENT or SCIENCE.

At the present meeting in Columbus,
Ohio, of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, an at
tempt was made by A. Il. Wallace to
classify the discoveries and tnven-
tons to which the progress of man
kind is mainly due. TWO groups
were formed, the first containing the
epoch making advances achieved pre-
yious to the present century and the
second embracing those of equal value
that have had their origin in the pres
ent century In the first group are -
items, in the last "a, the progress of
the world in the nineteenth century
appearing to exceed that OF all pre-
vious centuries put together. In the
first place are alphabetical writ
ing and Arabic notation. Both or gil
mated in prehistoric times. In the
fourteenth century comes the mari
ner's compass. and in the fifteenth the
printing press. The seventeenth cen
tury gave us the telescope, the barom-
eter, thermometer, differential calcu-
lus, the recognition of the attraction
OF gravitation, the laws of planetary
motion, the knowledge Of the circula-
ton of the blood and the measure
ment Of the velocity of light. The
early steps of the evolution of the
steam engine and the foundation OF
modern chemistry and electrical sci
ence belong to the nineteenth century.
Since 1900 the doctrine of the correla-
ton and conservation of forces has
been established and the nebular the
Ory has been set forth. The spectre
scope and the germ theory of diseases
belong to this period, TO be added
are the electric telegraph, the tee-
phone and photograph, the Bessemer
process of making steel, the use Of an
esthetics. the railway and the steam
ship. Mendeleef's periodic law in
chemistry the molecular theory of
gases, Lord Kelvin's vortex theory of
matter, the discovery of the glacial pc
riod in geology and the establishment
of the origin and antiquity Of man
these also belong to the nineteenth
century The light might be extended,
hut this imperfect enumeration indi
Gates that what has been accomplished
in physical science alone has been very
considerable 1t is, however, hardly
just to primitive man not to give him
fuller credit for the invention of Ian
guage, the use of fire, the discovery OF
metals, the tanning OF animals. the
discovery and discrimination Of useful
grains, herbs and fruits, the utiliza-
tion of tools and the arts Of building
and navigation Some Of these things
look easy now, but they were not so
obvious to our remote ancestors.

CHRISTMAS BELLS.

l heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
OF Peace on earth, good will to men, "
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Now roll along
The unbroken song
OF Peace on earth, good will to men.
Till ringing, singing, on its way,
The world revolved from night TO day,
A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime,
OF Peace on earth, good will to men,
But in despair | bowed NY head
There is no peace ON earth, | said;
For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
OF Peace on earth, good will to men y
Then pealed the bells, more loud and
deep,
God is not dead; nor doth ne sleep;
The Wrong shall fail, the Right pre-
vail,
With peace ON earth, good will to
men"

SPEED or OCEAN LINERS,

In an article in CassIcr's Magazine
ON steam speeds at sea Mr., Oldham
says twenty-five years ago the Atlantic
had never been crossed by screw
steamer mt a greater rate than fifteen
miles an hour that of the fastest liner
Scotia Today steamers have reached
the speed of twenty-five miles an hour
and, although the power required to
propel a steamer varies with the cube
Of the speed, yet, before third of the
present century expires, another in
crease of at least so per cent In ocean
speed may be safely predicted The
