VALUABLE FIND OF FOSSILS.
Rich Discovery of Professor Holmes
of the Smithsonian Institution
in Indian Territory,

Two miles north of Alton, I. T., there
is a spring known as White Sulphur
springs, which is proving a veritable
gold mine for the scientific world. 1t
is located on a fiat prairie. 1t never
goes dry, but it is just now in the low
est stage ever known. 1t thus affords
an excellent opportunity for the in
vestigation conducted by Prof. w. H..
Holmes, head of the bureau of ethnol-
ogy of the Smithsonianinst itution, who,
accompanied by NJ. a. Gill, government
photographer, and an assistant, has
thoroughly explored the bog surround
ing the spring. They have accumulated
one of the most wonderful collections
of prehistoric remains ever brought 10
the light of science in any locality.
Prof. Holmes has filled numerous
boxes with teeth and bones of mas
todons, bears, wolf, deer and buffalo.
There is also a box filled with val
liable stone relics of Indian tribes and
other races. Prof. Holmes only par
tally examined a space not over 10 by
IS feet and 10 feet deep. He thinks
the whole bog is filled with those de-
posts of prehistoric times.

SUBMARINE ANIMALS,
All of Them Are Interesting, But
None More So Than the Deep
Sea AnemOnes,

Very interesting is the manner in
which some of the little submarine
animals, scientifically known as Ac-
TINA, live. Sea nettles, sea flowers
and sea anemones are the popular
names of these creatures, and they
are called sea nettles because they
sting when touched and sea flowers
because their long and slender tenta-
Giles are similar to the petals of
many flowers.
Many of the Actinia lead a soil
tary life, but others form regular
colonies, among the latter being the
epizoanthes, several of which form
themselves into groups around hard
and immovable bodies, such as rocks,
corals and large shells, while 9th
ers form themselves into a colony
around the body of a pagurus, that
singular denizen of the sea which
is popularity known as Bernard the
Hermit. The latter are thus enabled
to move from place to place, and in
return for such service they pro-
tect their host from various enc
mics. As a rule they live with him
in the depths of the sea, and that
is why their novel mode of life has
only recently attracted attention.
Prof. Louis Roule, who lectures on
natural sciences, has studied these
Actinia carefully and has succeed
ed in obtaining some excellent speci-
mems of them.
"At first" he says, "the epizo-
antilles is tiny embryo, which is

ART OF BREATHING.
Scientific Men All Over the World Arc
Beginning to Recognize Its
Importance.

1t is perhaps one of the signs OF
the times to those alert for indica.
lions that the art of breathing has
become more and more a subject of
attention. Oculists as well as physi-
ologists go deeply into it's study in
way hardly to be touched upon in
limited space. Physicians have
cured aggravated cases of insomnia
by long-drawn, regular breaths:
fever-stricllen patients have been
quoted, stubborn forms of indiges-
ton made to disappear. A tendency
to consumption may be overcome, as
some authority has within the past
few years clearly demonstrated, by
exercise in breathing. Seasickness.
too, may be surmounted, and the VIC
tim of hypnotic influence taught to
withstand the force of an energy
directed against him.
There is a famous physician of
Munich who has written an extern
sive work upon the subject of breath
ing. He has, besides, formulated a
system by which asthmatic patients
are made to walk without LOSING
breath, while sufferers from weak
nesses of the heart are cured. AT
Meran, in the Austrian Tyrol, his pa
TENTS are put through certain sys-
tenn of breathing and walking. The
mountain paths are all marked off
with stakes of different colors, indi-
eating the number of minutes in
which a patient must walk the given
distance, the breathing AMI walking
being in time together. As the cure
progresses the ascents are made
sleeper and sleeper.

A High Balloon Ascension.

NM. Siering and Berson of the
meteorological institute of Berlin have
lately assembled in a balloon of 5000
cubic meters capacity to the great
height of 10000 meters (33,SOO feet),
Success was possible only because the
aeronauts began to breathe pure
oxygen at an elevation of about 5000
meters. The scientific results of this
ascension are now in process of calcu-
lation and will shortly be published.

own, for instance, the manuscript of
Virgil's Aeneid, or of Dante's "Diyine
Comedy" written by their own

course, the real originals of the long

impossible, to find. Probably they
do not exist, and certainly if they ex-

Nut-CrnckinE by Electricity.

In St. Louis the nut-cracking in
dustry gives employment to a consid-
cradle number of persons, there being
three plants in the city. The nut
crackers are driven by electricity, each
nut being fed individually into the
crusher. After the shells are cracked
the nuts are winnowed by an air blast
and the meat is picked from the
crushed shells by hand, women and
girls being employed for this part Of
the work.

to its prolific yield, superior keeping
qualities, ease of propagation, and
agreeable flavor. 1t was introduced
into this country at the time of
Raleigh's voyages to Virginia, and has
steadily increased in popularity ever
since.
Every school child is aware that po-
tatoes are classed as starch foods, and
that their bulk is made up largely of
water. 1t is chiefly on account
of the starch content that potatoes are
eaten, and while they are apparently
not economical foods, owing to the
large proportion of water which they
contain, this is not actually the case.
In other foods, as for instance, rice,
there is four times as much nourish-
ment is in an equal weight of potatoes,
but then water or milk is added to the
rice in preparing it for the table, so
that when ready to be eaten it very
much resembles potatoes in the as
similable proportion, bulk for bulk.
Equal weights of the two foods do not
cost as much in each case.
Being chiefly starch, the potato is
valuable as a source of muscular ener-
gy and does not serve to build or re-
pair the body tissue, except in a very
small degree. This explains why po-
tatoes are generally served with foods
rich in disseminating properties, such
as meats, and why it is that large num-
bers of the country population of Ire
land and Germany are so poorly nour-
ished. Potatoes alone are a very one
sided diet.
The accompanying table shows at
glance how the potato is proper

at is often asserted that the potato
is unwholesome, but there is no scien-
tiic basis for it. Eaten alone potatoes,
of course, would form a very badly
balanced diet. AS matter of fact its
universal popularity and consumption
are evident from the statistics above
quoted, that it forms nearly IA per
cent. of the total food of the people of
this country, furnishing about four
per cent. of the total proteins, or nitro
genous foods, and nearly ten per cent.
of the total carbohydrates or starches.
"A word of warning. Potatoes that
have been stored for long time and
which have begun to sprout, should not
be eaten, as they are apt to contain an
undue amount of solanin, or poisonous
substance. Numerous cases of poison
ing are on record resulting from this
cause"

Secretary to a seat on the floor of the

HAD A GOOD HOUSE.

The management of the Morrison
Roberts Company certainly had no
complaint as regards the attendance at
the Opera House last evening. When
the historical play Of the Merchant OF
Venice" was produced with Miss Rob-
erts and Lewis Morrison in the leading
roles. Mr.. Morrison as "Shylock" pre-
scented the character upon line en-
tirely unique. while the "Portia" Of
Miss Roberts and the "Bassanio" Of
Mr.. Henderson were quite well rem

There was much to mar the beauty
of the play due to long intermissions
between acts and several bad breaks
made by the support due to their I'M
familiarity with their lines.

make up for any defects in the produc-

FAME AS BX-PRESIDBNT.

The late Benjamin Harrison was one
OF the Nations Presidents who achiev-
ed his highest standing and popularity
after he had left the position of Chief
Executive.
During his term of Office Harrison
probably made as many enemies in his
own party as Cleveland did during his
second administration. His treatment
OF Blaine has always left tinge OF
bitterness among that statesman's
friends. AS one of Blaine's friends ex-
pressed II, Harrison as President in his
relations with Blaine, played the part
of a "jackass kicking dying lion"
Furthermore, Harrison's defeat for a
second term was undoubtedly due to
the refusal of party leaders to rally TO
his support.
Harrison was decidedly oplnionated
and at times stubborn, yet when freed
OF personal political antagonisms by
the passing OF time his administration

As an ex-President Harrison was one
of the most interesting and In way
unique figures of our history. He was

ability. He was also sought by his own
people and always had an attractive

honors with Mark Twain in the popu'

 It would seem that first-born chil- dren excel later-born children in height and weight. This may be due to the greater vigor of the mother. at the birth of the first child. We are re minded of fact, mentioned later, that out of 50 great men of this country, 30 per cent. were the youngest sons. In England it was found that growth de generates as we go lower in the social scale, there being a difference of even five inches in height between the best and worst fed classes in the com munity. An investigation of 10000 children in Switzerland showed that children born in summer. are taller for their age than those born in winter; as majority of children in the public schools are poor, in winter their par ents are forced to econonize more on account of expense of heating; their rooms are also liable Ito .be small and -pborly ventilated, while in summer they are out in the fresh air; food is also cheaper and more varied The in fuence of unhealthy conditions on a very young child would be much great CT than when tits older and better able to resist them.- -Everybody's Nigga zine.

Nineteenth Century and Meterorites.
 Among the great scientific advances of the century just passed there is one which is seldom mentioned, all though it is of remarkable interest. It is the demonstration of the fact that stones and metallic masses fall from the sky. Dr. o. c. Harrington reminds us that up to the beginning of the nineteenth century the atti- tude of scientific men toward the accounts of stones reported to have fallen from the sky was in general sone of scorn and incredulity." He quotes a remark of President Jeffer- son when told that Profs. Silliman and Kingsley had described shower of stones at Weston, Conn, in 1907: sssIt is easier to believe that two Yan- kee professors will lie than to believe that stones will fall from, heaven" It was only after a great shower ot meteorip stones at Laigle, in France, in 1903 had been carefully investigat- ed by the French academy that men of science finally became convinced that such things really occurred.
