Kansas City, July At is the Fourth
of July and the opening day of the dem
ocratic national convention. After all of
the heat and turmoil and preparation, the
day is here. All roads lead here, where
at II o'clock Chairman Jones of the ma
tional committee calls the convention to
order. Throughout the night there has
been no sleep, for the sky has been lurid
and the sound deafening from rockets,
cannon and every device for noisy demon
STATIONS. And with the daylight the
shock has increased into one long con-
tinued roar, in which the patriotism of
the day and the enthusiasm of the party
are blended. The heat is still intense
and the brisk breeze does not relieve the
oppressiveness of the day.

Real Pooh Bahs in China.


Some idea of the work of the average
Chinese official will be gathered from the
following statement made by an eminent
Chinese statesman to an Interpreter.
The interpreter states: II once asked
member of the Chinese cabinet who was
complaining Of fatigue and overwork for an
account of his daily routine. He replied
that he left home every morning at
o'clock. as he was on duty at the palace
from 3 to 6. As a member Of the privy
council he was engaged on that body from
until 8. From 8 until IL he was at the
war department, of which he was president,
and, being a member of the board of pun
ishment, he was in attendance at the office
of that body daily from II until 2. AS one
of the senior ministers of the foreign office
he spent every day from till or 6 in the
daily duties, and, in addition to them, he
was frequently appointed to serve on spe-
cial boards or commissions, and these he
sandwiched in between the others as he
could. He seldom reached home before in
the evening.
1T should be added. however, that the Chi
nese idea of hard work is not quite the
same AS the English idea. The Chinese off,
cial undoubtedly spends long hours at his
various offices, but this is no safe guide
Perhaps the busiest department In the Chi
nese government is the board of punish
ment which reviews the sentences pro-
the empire. Naturally, therefore the work
is rather heavy. but in other departments
eating and drinking is the chief business of
the day."

Direction of Lightning Flashes.
From the New Orleans Times-Democrat

Ever since j was boy" said one Of a
group of loungers in the hotel corridor,
lightning has seemed to me to go up in
stead of down. l have watched 1t many a
time while it was playing in the stormy
sky, and the direction was always appar-
emily the same-from the earth up toward
the zenith, supposed this was an optical
Illusion. peculiar to myself, until recently,
when / was surprised to read In scientific
journal that the actual direction of the
electric discharge is uncertain. 1t is az
likely to lie up as down, and depends en-
tirely upon whether the storm cloud hap
pens to be charged negatively or positively.
Since then / have mentioned the subject to
others and found a number of persons who
see lightning the same way that do-go-
ing up. AS matter of fact the time OF
& flash of lightning is SO brief that 1t Is
impossible to be certain of its direction.
The effect 1t produces on the mind must
depend largely upon preconception. and the
Hash seems to most persons to descend be-
cause they are accustomed to thinking of 1t
as darling out Of the sky and striking
things on the earth. Next time there Is an
electric display in the heavens Ak your
mind steadily on the idea Of lightning rush
Ing upward. and l will venture the asser-
ton the next fash seems to take that dirsc-

seem inconceivable. But until 1t is realized
1t Is difficult for me to conceive OF any
method Of communicating with the inhab-

Looking for Brain Waves.
"Wlll 1t be possible to detect human life
on Mars, for instance, before such a trip is

Ether waves are probably given of by
the minds of the Martians If there are such
people. If such waves are given off they
probably reach earth and I have no doubt
that ether waves given off by our busy,
boiling brains penetrate to Mars. Yes,
through the millions of miles which sep

I'm our brain cells there are occurring
constant chemical changes corresponding
to our every thought. During these chem
ical changes certain atoms must of course
be put in motion. While atoms are in mo-
ton they are constantly producing ether
waves. These waves go out IN every direc.
ton. They penetrate through our layer Of
upper atmosphere and lose themselves In
space
Now. suppose that after studying ether
waves more and more carefully we at last
learn how to distinguish those caused by
chemical motions Of brain cells from those
produced by other motions. Then suppose
we have means Of collecting all Of the
ether waves coming from Mars or any other
planet. If after close examination we find
brain waves among them-brain waves COM

ut would thus be possible to construct a
machine capable of propelling itself through
ether In any direction at enormous speeds,
and one able to generate it goes along
waves that will thus react upon other
waves In the ether. AS to how far beyond
the earth's atmosphere man could travel in
such a machine I would not like to say
He would, of course. have to take with him
a supply Of air for breathing purposes
81 will go far as to say that even
though there were no ether in the space be-
tween the planets such machine would
propel itself through absolutely empty
space. This seems impossible but we have
involved here the same principle as that by
which the smallest particle will prope
itself through an absolute vacuum. There
Is reason to believe that the smallest pos
sible portions Of material substance are
capable OF moving through space which Is

Mrs. Jobson did insert a few remarks of
that general character, nevertheless, but
they didn't phase Mr.. Jobson little bit.
He mixed lot of the brownish powder up
in quart bottle that very night, and took
his first dose before going to bed, making a
very wry face over 1t.
81 never knew any medicine yet that
amounted to anything that didn't taste
nasty, though he declared. and went to
bed, firmly convinced that he'd lose quite
a few pounds during the night. He swore

weeks. He screwed UP his features and
faithfully took dose of the great Indian
chiefs discovery three times a day. and
told Mrs. Jobson that he was beginning to
like the taste of 1t.
At the end of four days he remarked to
Mrs. Johson that he felt like new man,
and said that he was absolutely positive
that he had gone down fully ten pounds, if
not more. He told her that his step was as
springy as a siX-year-olds. that he hadn't
painted or puffed after the most unusual
exertion since he'd started to take the

But" interposed Mrs. Jobson. when he
had said all of these things, "'you don't

risively. "'Well, I'll just show you. how
badly you need spectacles when I get
