The Height OF storms.

Professor T. I'll. Bigelow furnishes
The American Journal Of Science with
some of the results Of the international
cloud work for the United States The
penetration of ordinary cyclones into
the higher regions of the atmosphere
is slight They are only two or three
miles deep. Hurricanes are five or six
miles deep. The anticyclonic and cy-
clonic areas are hardly to be consider
ed as cepters of motion except in the
very lowest strata, since currents OF
air blow directly over them from west
to east, even in the cumulus region OF
the Rocky mountain districts. The or
binary circulation theory does not hold
good In each stratum from the sur
face to the cirrus level about as much
air moves north as south, for there are
enormous counter currents passing by
each other at the same level and Tot
over one another at different eleya-
tons. This puts q new aspect uDon
the entire problem of the general cir

Thc Stag Beetle.

AS you walk by the hedgeside q
strange noise suddenly arrests your at
tentiOn 1t is the buzz Of an insect,
but loud enough to startle you. 1t
might be mistaken for the Keeling Of o
night jar, but it is perhaps more like
the Earring hum of q tasty driven mo-
tor car.
The reason Of the noise is that the
beetle has with great pains climbed up
q certain height from the ground. and
in order to ascertain whether he has
got far enough. he erects himself on
his stand. lifts his wing cases, shakes
out his wings ana begins to agitate
them violently. turning this way and
that to make sure that he has clear
space.
II he then attempts to fy-it is one
of his common blunders-he instantly
strikes against some branch or cluster
of leaves and is thrown down. The
tumble does not hurt him in the least,
but SO greatly ast0nishes him that he
remains motionIess a good while; then,
recovering his senses, he begins to as
cend again. At length, after 8 good
many accidents and adventures by the
way. he gets Ola to the topmost tWig.
and, after some buzzing to get up
steam, launches himself heavily on the
air and goes away in grand STYLE

HOT TIME In KENTUCKY
AGAIN ON THE VERGE OF WAR.
Taylor Holds the Capitol Buildings with
Troops-Attempt at Escape and
Arrest of Accused Men.


Frankfort, Ky, March 12.--Saturday
was a great day in the recent history
of the state First the circuit court
at Louisville threw the Republican case
as to the official count out of court, de
claring that the legislature only had
jurisdiction and that the body that de-
clared for the Democrats was the leg
iSlature
Next the Democratic civil officers
tried to enter the capitol building to ar
rest Secretary Of State Powers and
Captain John Davis. of the capitol po-
lice, and were refused admission by
military guards who were posted all
over the buildings and around them.
Next Powers and Davis, disguised as
soldiers, got on board a train for Lex
ington. en- route as they claim to a part
Of the state where Governor Taylor
is acknowledged, SO that they could
stipulate for a fair trial before they
surrendered. But when they got to
Lexington they were arrested, after a
warm struggle in which Powers was
badly dubbed. The Democrats at
Frankfort got onto them and tele-
graphed for their arrest, and although
they were guarded by militiamen the
latter did ont protect them from ar
rest.
Both men deny positively their
guilt, and ascribe their attempt to es-
cape to fear of the kind of trial they
would be given and Of the 100000 of
fered for the arrest and conviction of
the assassins of GOebel. Both men
had pardons from Governor Taylor in
their pockets, given with the same gen
eral purpose, they say, and Governor
Taylor says, to protect them from ille-
gal and perjured arrest and conviction.
Powers has made a statement over
his signature III which he says: Il
have never had, and I now have, but
two things to fear in the once threat
ened and now actual prosecution, and
they are the rapid and corrupt infu
ences that 100000 can have in the
prosecution Of any case, and the polit-
zeal influences that will be incident to
this trial. 1t is no small thing to fear,
as any sober thinking man must con-
feSs. | am innocent Of the charge
preferred against me. All | ask IS a
speedy, fair and non-partisan trial"
The result of all this is that the two
state governments are now hostile
camps. At the capitol and executive
building the Republican state guard is
on duty, about 200 strong, while at
the Democratic state government head
quarters, the Capitol hotel, is a COM
pany of state guards organized yester-
day by Governor Beckham. This was
owing to rumor that the Republicans
; were going to arrest Beckham.
The legislature has but two more
days to sit, and will have to adjourn

THE LAND OF GRAVES.
Ancient Egyptians Believed In Con-
slant Reminders OF Death

Ancient Egyptians Believed In Com
slant Reminders OF Death.
To the Egyptian death was but the
beginning Of career Of adventures
and experiences compared with which
the most vivid emotions Of this life
were tame. He lived with the fear of
death before his eyes. Everything
around him reminded him of that
dreadful initiation into the mysteries
of the tremendous after life for which
his present existence was but
preparation. His cemeteries were not
hidden away in remote suburbs; his
dead were not covered with mere
grassy mounds or slab Of stone. The
whole land was his graveyard; it's
whole art was Of the mortuary. Are
there no graves in Egypt that thou
has brought US into the wilderness to
die?" asked the Israelites in derision,
and we may believe that Moses vino
ed at the sarcasm.
Egypt is the land CT graves, and the
whole energy Of the people, that could
be spared from keeping life together,
was devoted to death. The mightiest
tombs in the world-the pyramids
were raised upon the deaths of multi
tudes Of toiling slaves. The hills were
honeycombed passages and galleries,
chambers, pits, all painfully excavated
in honor of the iIlustrious dead, and
sou ptured and painted with elaborate
skill to make them fit habitations for
his ghost.
Wherever he looked the Egyptian
beheld preparations for the great turn
ing point Of existence. The mason
was squaring blocks for the tomb
chamber; the potter nodded images
Of the gods, OF bowls and jars, to be
placed in the grave for the protection
or refreshment of the EAa, exhausted
with the OrdealS Of the under world;
the sculptor and painter were at work
upon the walls Of the funeral cham
ber illustrating the scenes through
which the ghost was to pass, or de-
picting the industrious life of the de-
parted.
The very temples which cluster along
the levels beside the Nile were, in 4
sense but vestibules to the tombs in
the hills behind. The sacred lake, now
the weedy. picturesque haunt Of water
fowl, was then the scene of solemn
ferryings of the dead. The temple
walls were covered with the terrors
Of the judgment to come. The houses
of the living, indeed, were built OF per-
ishing mud. but the homes Of the dead
and the shrines where supplication
was made TO the gods who ruled their
fate were made to last forever. On
these all the strength, the science and
the artistic skill of the ancient Egyp-
tians were cheerfully lavished.-Sat-
urday Review.

Z. V. DEBs FOR PRESIDENT.
Socialists Nominate Him After PersuaI-
Ing. Him to Acceut

Indianapolis, March 10. - The So
cialist national convention yesterday
nominated this ticket: For president,
Eugene Y. Debs, Of Indiana: for vice
president, Job Hartman. OF Cali
tornia. The Hilquit- Hartman fiction
Of the party was absorbed by agree
ment which unites the Social Dem
ocracy and the Socialist Labor faction.
Debs had previously refused to ac-
cept the nomination, but finally sue
cumbed to persuasion. 1t seems, from
the explanations OF friends, that Debs
has been applying his earnings to the
extinction Of a debt against the Amer
lean Railway Union and that he did
not want to cease until the debt was
paid The debt amounted to several
thousand dollars Debs received as
surances that the debt would be taken
care of and that he would receive q
rest Of three months before entering
the presidential canvass.

Refuses to Sell Timber.

Some time ago, May 22, 1899, J. w. Benham of this city made application to purchase timber or mesquite from pub lie lands. Through the special agent here he has rscei> ed the following state- ment:
 "The secretary of ths interior has de- cided that the government has no au- thority to sell timber from the pubic lands, under the act of March 3, 1891, which has been done for some years past. Hence no more timber sales will be made. The interior department has prepared bill that will be presented to congress, which bill provides for the sale of timber on public lands."
 Mir. Benham will present the matter to the board of trade this evening and it is probable that body will take prompt action to assist in getting the matter be- fore congress. Of course it will be nec- essary first to get copy of the bill tc see whether it meets the requirements In the meantime mining men and al who cut or use timber will do so in vio- lation of law, if this order is enforced Hence 1t is imperative that prompt ac ton be secured.-Phoenix Enterprise.
