If any reader is disposed to object to
the assumption Of a medium behaving
in such very different ways with re-
gard to motions of different speeds, it
may assist in convincing him that the
objection is not valid one to direct
his attention to the similar behavior
of such a familiar substance as pitch.
In moderately cold weather this ma
terial has all the appearance of solid
and will resist q blow or mOmentary
heavy pressure. If, however, denser
body than the pitch, such as bullet,
for example. be laid upon its surface,
it will gradually sink until it rests up
on whatever is supporting the pitch.
If, on the other hand, the pitch is plac-
ed upon a less dense body. such as
cork, the latter will float up through it
in the course of time. The pitch, there
fore, exposes great resistance to rapid
motion, but the smallest pressure
causes it to give way if sufficient time
is Observation-Disclosures

Samuel Clough, who edited The New
England Almanac at the very begin
ming of the eighteenth century, was a
good example of a prophet who intends
to make no mistakes.
Perhaps" says he, predicting the
weather from Jan. Is to the ODD, 1902,
|'it will be very cold weather if it frese
by the tireside or on the sunny side of
q fence at noon"
In April he hazards: Perhaps wet
weather if it rains. Now fair weather
If the sun shines. Windy or calm"
And in July he ventures a small ad-
vertisement for the town of his resi-
dence:
II now the weather do prove fair,
People to Cambridge do repair.

Attempt to Kill a Priest.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, May 15.-BetWeen
1 and 2 o'clock in the morning an at
tempt was made to assassinate Rev.
Father Theopilus Klonowski, pastor of
st. Mary's Catholic church of this
city. There has been trouble brewing
in the church for some time past, one
faction opposing the pastor and an
other espousing his cause. The priest
was called out about midnight on the
plea Of visiting a sick man. Arrange
ments apparently had been made to
ambush him on the road, but he dis
covered the danger and fed. He had
scarcely reached his home before he
was shot at through the window, the
bullet striking the wall within an inch
of his head

Advantages Of the Tiger Transp!anter

Advantages Of the Tiger Transp!anter-
LODI, WIS, January 31st, 1900.
To WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN!
AS [ am the inventor of both the
Bemis and Tiger" transplanters, | have
often been asked what the superior
points are on the "Tiger" over the Bemis.
[ can honestly say it has many. In the
first place, any one can see at glance it
is better made and has all the features
of the Bemis combined with the i'm
proved frame, which is much easier
handled by team and driver making the
rows very straight.
The spacing of the plant by the
"Tiger" is perfect, and always in the
water, making the crop mature more
evenly as the plants all start at the same
time and have the same space OF ground
and sunlight to grow in, and the dropp-
ers do not have to guess at anything, as
they put the hand against the valve
guide when in crotch of runner, and at
the proper time the hand is pushed back
and the plant is set. This | consider
one of the most valuable points in a
transplanter. The "Iiger is the only
transplanter on which the Check Rover
Attachment can be made to work sue
C0SSfully, ana Dy LIE use Vi GuG SAME
the plants can be set in check as good as
any corn planter can check corn, there
by saving much labor by hoeing and get
ing far better growth Of leaf.
By the use Of the Wheel Packers I
have been able to get almost perfect
stand of plants on loose dry ground,
when on the same ground with my old
Bemis I could not get 80 per cent to live,
and they would not stand SO even.
The Tiger" puts all the water at the
plant while the Bemis strings the water
along the bottom of the furrow, taking
about three times the amount of water
to make the plant grow as required by
the Tiger, and feel that | can say to
any grower of tobacco, with safety, that
as soon as he thoroughly understands
the Tiger" he would not have his crop
set by Bemis machine free of charge.
The Bemis has been offered in my ter
ritory from $40 to $40 less than the
Tiger" every year, but not even one has
been sold here since | introduced the
Tiger and do not think grower in
this locality would take one as a gift,
and plant his crop with it. The Tiger"
is my latest invention.
Yours very respectfully,
f. A. BRMIs.

Generally speaking, races living at
high attitudes have weaker and more
highly pitched voices than those living
in regions where the supply of oxygen
is more plentiful. Thus, in this coun-
try, among the Indians living on the
plateaus between the ranges Of the
Andes. at an elevation of from 10000
to $4,000 feet. the men have voices like
the women and the women like the
children, and their singing ia a shrill
monotone.

MOTHER AND CHILDREN SLAIN
Found in Bed with Their Threats Cut
from Ear to Ear.


Peoria, Ills, May 15.-Mrs. Thomas
Moser, wife of a farmer living three
miles north Of fremont, Ills, and her
four small children, were found dead
ntheir homes. All had apparently
been dead since Sunday Their Threats
were cut from ear to ear. Mrs. Moser's
body was found in the ecellar, covered
with old carpet. The children lay in
their beds, upstairs, apparently having
been killed as they slept.
Moser has disappeared, but there is
no known evidence pointing to his
having committed the terrible crime.
Nothing had been seen of the family
since Sunday, and neighbors broke
open the doors of the farmhouse. They
spread the alarm, but no trace of the
murderer has yet been found, although
some of the neighbors are convinced
that Moser wiped out his family in a
fit of insanity.
