Russia has adopted the metric system,
and that completes its adoption by all of
the countries of the continent of Europe.
England and the United States still cling
to the old ways, but there are signs that
they too will be forced to get into line
with the rest of the world England
holds out probably because it is a French
system, and We hold out because We do.

Only about one-seventh of Africa is

ton of Africa, and China to divide, the

plenty OF work ahead, and before it is

tween themselves. The prospects of uai-
Yersal peace are not rosy by any means.

METEORS.

ANOTHER DISPLAY OF METEORS
is ON THE BILLS FOR TONIGHT.
If the sky is clear the people of Bis
marck will be treated to novel and
beautiful display of shooting stars On
Wednesday night. Notwithstanding
the disappointment of last November,
astronomers expect brilliant shower
of Leonids, or meteors, between Tues
day and Friday nights.
There is some uncertainty about the
date, but the showers will probably
come Wednesday and Thursday. This
display is looked for on account of the
meeting of the earth and a tremen-
dous cluster of passing meteors. These
are called Leonids because they appear
to radiate from the constellation of
Leo. In its passing around the sun
the earth crosses its orbit or path of
several clusters of meteors. On Nov.
13 of each year it crosses the path of
the Leonlds. Some shooting stars
are seen each time, but these are only
meteors that have strayed from the
main body.
THE gem OF the meteor ring" as
the thick cluster is called, 'is only
met three times in a century. So
great is the distance travelled by the
Leonids that, although they travel
nearly 100000 miles an hour, it is esti-
mated that it takes them forty-three
and quarter years to complete their
circuit around the sun. They are WIS.,
ible to us only when they enter the
earth's atmosphere"
The meteors are believed to be the
remnants of comets. The Leonids are
thought to be disintegrated parts OF
Temples comet, which, though broken
into small pieces from the heat of the
sun, continue in it's former path. Dur
ing their passage these particles arc

planets attract the pieces nearest

the others and retard them. Eacl

THE WORK IS DONE.
AND REPUBLICAN STATE HEAD
QUARTERS AT GRAND FORKS
ARE CLOSED.

QUARTERS AT GRAND FORKS
ARE CLOSED.
Grand Forks Herald: Yesterday
the republican state headquarters in
the Hotel Dakotah were formally
closed, and the labors of those who
have directed the campaign in this
state are over for this year. The re-
suit of the election in this state was
most satisfactory to Chairman Bulge,
Secretary Jewell, Assistant Secretary
Major Hamilton and Robert Wallace,
all of whom have been active in the
management of the campaign. In
many respects the campaign that has
just been brought to successful close
by the republicans has been one of the
most remarkable in the history of the
state. 1t is admitted that the repub-
licans have never before been so thor
cughly organized as during the cam
paign j'ist closed, and the result of the
organization was evidenced by the re-
publican majorities that were rolled
up, which far exceeded the claims
made by the officials at the state head
quarters prior to election day. The
campaign was conducted upon business
principles and there was no guess
work done at any stage of the game
The work was done in a most thor
Ough manner, and the claims of the
state committee were based upon n
careful poll. But few people realize
the amount of work that was done,
perhaps, so fully as the official stem
ographer, Mrs. F. V. Kent, and also
w. NJ. Prince of Grafton, who was at
the state headquarters most of the
time. AS rule the claims of the
state headquarters regarding the out
come of an election have to be shaded,
but the opposite is true in this case,
and as a result those VINO have had
the management of the campaign have
been the recipients of compliments
from the republicans from all over the
state on the mastery manner in which
the campaign was conducted. Ever
since the campaign opened the state
headquarters have been the scene of
great activity, and there was no let up
till the day of election.

FfE C0sT OF Wary
Enormous Sums for England to ray

Campaign.

Recently some interesting data have

ons. Moreover, about $4,000 horses

New Orleans, and 10000 were brought
by the colonial troops. Finally, some
$4,000 mules were shipped from the
United States, Italy, India and Spain,
making total of 10000 animals. The
average price of those purchased
abroad was SIT for horses and $67 for
mules. The cost of transporting the
troops was about $70,OOO,OOO.

sides 1S bearer companies, with a per-
sonnel of 470 military surgeons, 3GO

WILL NOT KNOW THE BRAND.
Champagne Drinkers at New York
Gatherings to he Kept in
Ignorance.

A fashion that is finding greater ac-
ceptance every day in New York is
likely to be the despair of the cham
pagne agents, reports the New York
Sun. Many of the hostesses who en-
tertain more frequently and elabor-
ately now see that the labels are
washed from the champagne bottles.
This leaves the guests in ignorance
of the kind of champagne they are
drinking. AS champagne bottle is
very likely at private dinner to be
wrapped in a napkin the necessity of
this precaution to conceal the brand
is not always apparent. 1t is imita-
ton of habit that has prevailed abroad
for some time, and probably derives
the vogue from that fact. In houses
of the London nobility and at all the
court functions at Windsor or any of
the palaces the labels of the champagne
bottles are removed in order that no
person may be able to say that this
brand of wine or the other is drunk
there. Champagne agents may well
fear the introduction of such a fash
ion here, although some of them are
so frequently in the houses of their
clients that they can explain what the
brand is if other means of discovery
be lacking.
