The Cumulative Voting system.

Under the cumulative system of
voting established in Illinois, tits pos
sible for minority party having only
a small part Of the voting strength Of
the district to secure one of its repre-
sentatives in Springfield. Someyears
ago the prohibitionists in one of the
Illinois districts put the cumulative
system Of election to a test with this
result. Each Of the republican candi-
dates received approximately 5000
votes; the one democratic candidate
received 5000 and the one prohibi-
zionist 5000. The prohibitionists
captured one seat. Z The next year
they lostit and they have had no rep.
resentative in Springfield since. The
peculiar method which the state Of
Illinois adopts for elections to the
legislature makes it practically i'm
possible that either party shall have
9 sweeping majority.

in Durango, COL, on his way to Mexico
from visit to the cliff dwellers' ruins

Senior Batres has fully satisfied him
self that the inha bitants of the cliffs

many baskets and other trinkets of
Asiatic and Japanese design. He
thinks the mound builders and cliff
dwellers two distinct races. The cliff
dwellers after leaving this section
migrated to Mexico, going through
Arizona. where indications of their
stoppage en- route are found. In Mex
leo they comprised the original Toltecs
and built cities. That this is so is veri-
fed by legends and inscriptions Senior
Batres found on some of the walls of

OSMOTIC PRESSURE.
The Scientific Term for Very Mys-
ferrous Force.

SC14VUS CO1CSs
Every solution has a tendency to
diffuse into its solvent as if it were at
tracted by the solvent, and if the Diff
fusion is prevented by thin men,
brane this tendency will produce a
pressure osmotic pressure, so called.
This pressure is fundamental factor
in the vital functions of plants and
animals. According to de Vries, it
regulates the growth of the plant; ac-
cording to Daudres, it regulates the
functions of the blood in the capil-
laries; according to- Mussart, it reg
ulates some functions of the human
eye, as we'll as the life of the most
deadly infectious poisons, like the
bacilli of typhus; according to the
splendid discoveries Of Prof. Loeb,
the act of fertilization of certain low
er animal organisms, the sea-urchins
for example, may be replaced by a
definite increase in the osmotic pres
sure OF the surrounding medium. At
no time, says Prof. Loeb, has the OUT
look for the progress Of physiology
appeared brighter than at present,
and this is largely due to the applica-
ton Of physical chemistry to the
problems Of life.-N. Y. Sun. -

OLD MONEY.
Ragged Bills and Smooth Coins Put
Into Circulation at the Pam
American Fair.

There are more ragged old bank
bills, government notes and ancient
silver coin that have been put into
circulation in Buffalo during the Pan
American exposition than have been
seen for quarter of century, says
the New York Times. A searcher
after the cause found many cashiers
of shows and other places who could
give explanations. One money taker

simple enough. Farmers from the
interior Of New York state, Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio have been attracted
to the exposition because they could
see a big show cheap. They take
their hoard of old silver coins and
small bills, which have been out Of
circulation and in their. stockings and
teapots for years, and turn them
loose here. 1t is hard on the city

Another shrewd observer said:

W Ar ON THE SPIDERS
Effort Made to Clear Out the Insects
:: at the White House.
Infest the, Portico Fronting the Exec
utive Mansion and Are Hard to
Dislodge-Fire Hose Used =
i. Upon Them.

One of the curious preparations made
for the advent of Mrs. Roosevelt at the
white house was the cleaning out of the
spiders which infest the portico. Those
who are familiar with the executive
mansion are aware that the great
portico, which is such pronounced
architectural feature of the building,
is extremely high, running up to the
roof, the cornice of the portico being
on line with that of the roof itself.
The spiders and the hornets long ago
discovered that the hooks and crannies
about the capitals of the great columns
that support the portico were quite
beyond the reach of.the ordinary step
ladder and dust broom.
During the absence of the President
and Mrs. Mckinley this summer the
ceilings of the -portico and the tops of
the columns were fairly taken posses
sion of by spiders. Thewhite house at
tendants, knowing that the historic
mansion was to- have at its head, for
the first time in many years, young
and energetic housekeeper, determined
to get rid of the spiders before she
came. Therefore, they rugged up Sec
ton of fire hose and made an extraor-
binary effort to wash down the spiders
and their webs. The deluge Of water
cleared out the webs pretty we'll, but
the old attendants say the white house
spider cannot be dispossessed by any
thing short of a personal encounter
with dust pan and broom.
Hence the old officials predict that
before Mrs. Roosevelt has become fair.
~ accustomed to her surroundings she
will step out on the portico and demand
that "Old jerry" the ancient African
who looks after such things, shall
"drive out those horrid spiders" AL
most every mistress of the white house
for quarter of century, they say
has issued the same command, but the
spiders know as we'll as anyone else il
takes scaffolding to get old Jerry o,
anyone else up to the roof of the por
tico. ::

To Feed Students Chean1y.

The University of Chicago is plan
ming to conduct an experiment station
for the purpose of learning how cheap
1y it can prepare food for it's students.
It was announced at the university
that the experiments would be carried
on at cafe in Ellis avenue, opposite
the campus. It will be the aim of Miss
Yeomans, who will be in charge, to
provide as many five-cent dishes as
possible.
This move by the university is for
the purpose of getting experience
which will be of value when the new
commons is complete and furnished.
DR.. T. w. Goodspeed said that the uni.
versity would not plan to make money
1T the commons, but would feed the
students good food at the lowest pos.
sible rates.

"The worst half minute and the
hAppiest recovery I ever had in my ex-
perience," said an old detective to a
New York Sun man, Happened in !
this wise:
: ri had been hunting for week for
a thief who had made us no end of
trouble and got away with a lot of /
peoples property, and I got him To-:
Gated one afternoon in a business
building that had stores on the first
floor and Offices above, in which he'd
been making, in a small way. some
pretty good hauls. I followed him
over this building and finally got him
down on the third floor, and had got
myself between him and the stairway,
and I didn't see how he was possibly
going to get away, unless, as I said to
myself, jokingly, he jumped out Of
the window. /
"But, by the great snakes! That's
exactly what he did. I'd got him in
a hall, where there was no escape, ex-
cept by window at the front end
opening on the street, and I thought
all 1 had to do was to walk up and nail
him. And I'd got within Is feet of
him, smiling to myself when, looking
back at me, just once more, away he
went! He jumped clean out of the
window.
zE'To certain death, I thought, or

arms and ribs, anyhow, and it was
very uncomfortable sensation I had
there for about half minute, think
ing Of losing my man after weeks
search and after getting so close to
him, too, and losing him in that way,
smashed to death by jumping out of
window while l was after him, and
l rushed forward to look down and
put my head out Of the window just
in time to be hit on the under side of
the jaw by the top Of his head, coming
up from below with force enough to
shut my jaws together in way that
pretty near knocked my teeth out.
Automatically and instantaneous
ly I reached down With both hands,
one on either side Of the man s head,
and seized him by the shoulders and
hung on, and. then / lifted him lit
tie and dragged him in over the win
dow sill ackinto the hall, and put the
bracelets on him. I'd got him after
all, and unframed.

simple. There was q spring wagon
backed up over the sidewalkx:to the
front door Of the store on the ground
floor, which was directly under the
hall window, and my man, taking any
chances for freedom, and with all but
one chance in a thousand of jumping
to his death, had landed on that
spring wagon with force enough to
bounce him back up into my hands. y

THREE SNAKE STORIES.
August Good Month for Reptiles In
New Jersey.

As usual during the month of Au-
gust snakes were beginning to grow.
numerous, and some of the people in
the. vicinity of Freehold, N. j., re-
ported some curious experiences.
While moving in his hay field, Barton
Chambers, of Whitesviue, heard rat
Ting that struck terror to his heart.
He continued moving, however, and
before going great distance he saw
the sharp knives Of the mower cut 4
large rattlesnake in two. Rattle
snakes are very rare in this vicinity,
and this is the first that has been re-
ported killed this year. - /
While John G. Post, of Ocean coun.
ty, was moving for F. E: Camburn
he killed "wamper" snake four feet
six inches long. 1nsidethe <*wamper"
was a black snake four feet long,
which had actually been swallowed
head first. There was not scratch
upon the black snake. Both Cam
burn and Post vouch for the strange
tale. The *'wamper" is a black and
white spotted snake. -.
While Fred Megill, of Farmingdale,
was working on his farm he heard 4
robin in the woods near by, apparent
ly in great distress. Megill cautious
ly-approached the place, and discov-
cred a black snake over six feet long
in the top of small oak tree. The
bird had been caught by wing, and
the snake was making desperate>ef-
forts to get it still further in its
mouth. Megill cut off a limb and
killed the snake. He discovered that
it had just eaten two other robins
