are prospects tonight of further down.
fall, it is believed that thousands upon
thousands OF dollars will be saved to tue
farmers on stocks and crops. Neverthe-
less, much greater quantities OF rain
must come before a lasting benefit ia
done. In the portions OF central and
western Missouri, western Kansas and
the Territories untouched by rain, condi-
tions remain the same and very warm
temperature is reported.
The rains which came Mt the end of a
drouth of from four to eight weeks du-
ration covered southwestern Missouri
and portions Of Kansas, taking in the
southeastern corner of tbs Suntlower
stats from Riley and Dickinson counties
down to the Oklahoma line. Good rains
fell in Barton and Green counties, Mis-
souri,, and on the Oklahoma border in
Kansas in Cowley and Chsutaqua coun-
ties, and along the Union Pacific railway
in Riley county.
These rains, while good, were not suf
ticieDt to put the burned crops out OF
danger. This morning a heavy rain fell
in the vic nifty OF Joplin, No. and trav-
cling west covered portions OF Montgom-
cry, Butler aud Sedgwick counties, ka"
sas. Around Joplin there WAS heavy
rainfall for ten minutes AT 30 heavy
rain fell in Cherokee county, across the
line in Kansas, preceded by hail, bene-
fitting pastures and small grams i'm
mensely, and bringing relief to the
crushing plants in the zinc mining dis
trict.
During the afternoon a heavy rain fell
in the vicinity OF Coffsy Vile, Ell Dorado
and Wichita, Kansas. At Cotfeyville the
people held jubilee on the streets dur
ing the rain. Two counties west from
Kansas City in Jefferson county, Kansas,
a full inch OF rain fell this afternoon,
while in Kansas City a temperature OF
1Oi prevailed and hardly a cloud was
visible.

INCREDIBLE SPEED.
Attained by n balloon on n Recent
Trip without Anyone to
Guide 1t.

1t seems incredible, yet il is fact
that in Germany few days ago a
balloon Travelled 100 miles in rs min.
utes. The balloon teft Strassburg at
IL a. m. and arrived at Biberach at a
quarter past ~ p. m, being stopped
there by the branch of linden tree,
which held il fast. When IL was ex-
amined note was found saying that
il had left Strassburg at II a. m. OF
that day, and that any information
as to it's subsequent movements would
be gratefully received by the Strass-
burg authorities. The news of its safe
arrival at Biberach, 100 miles distant
from Strasburg, was at once sent
to them, and on the following day
Prof. DIR. Hergesell arrived from
Strassbarg and took charge of the bal
loon, says the New York Herald.
According TO him, the first intention
OF himself and his colleagues was to
send out a regular balloon with one
or two passengers, but on account of
the storm they were unable to do so.
They then tried TO send out large
balloon fitted with a barometer and
other instrument, but the storm pre-
vented it from making any headway,
and so finally they equipped small
balloon with instruments and sent IL
forth.
One Of the instruments, a barometer
combined with thermometer, showed
that the balloon had attained a height
of 1000 metres, and another indicated
that the lowest temperature which 1t
had met was 25 degrees r. The bal
loon was made of vanished paper and
VAS flied with coal gas. A basket
hung from it, and IN order TO shield
the sensitive instruments from the
rays of the sun it was covered with
silver paper.

GERMANS ON THE INCREASE.
Rctsrns OF the Last Census show the
Population of the Empire 10
lie 56,OO0,00o.

The United States census Office has
received through the state depart
ment consular report on the popula
tion of Atbe German empire and It's
changes during the last century. The
population is now about 100000 900
larger than any other country in Eu.
rope except Russia, which has in Eu-
rope alone over 108,000,000 subjects, OF
nearly twice as many as Germany.
Ind7s9 the whole German empire had
population of about 10000, 600. and
at the close of the Napoleonic wars in
1915 Germany, though somewhat re-
duced in size, had population Of some
thing more than 30000000. In 1S45,
since which date the area has re-
mained almost constant, Germany had
"a ,0G0. 600; in 1865, 4Q,000,00O; in 1885,
$1,000, 900. and in 1900sabout 55,500,00O,
an increase during the century Of
about 30,00O,000.
Since 1871, when the modern Ger
man empire was organized, the popula-
tion of Germany has increased about
50 per cent, growth extremely rapid
for an old country, and for one send
ing out large and steady streams Of
eInigrants. The Germans felt natu-
raj pride in the rapid growth Of their
population, says the report, compared
with that of their rival across the
Rhine. In 1S45 France had about &c.
100000 inhabitants and Germany "a
100000. Now France has about 80 ,000,-
900, or only two-thirds the number in
Germany.

1,635,G47, or nearly 63,0D0 less than
there were in Chicago when tie re-

These figures show Vienna to rank

among the European capitals, while
in this country only New York and Chi.

years Vienna has increased 2I.9 per

How Royalty rays twice.

IL is not out Of place to mention,
especially as the fact Is never snffi-
GENTLY remembered when royal in
comes are discussed, that royal per-
sonages have the dubious privilege
of paying at least twice as much for
nearly everything they buy as ordi-
nary mortals are charged. From a
diamond tiara TO breakfast roll, al
most every article they order Is
charged for by the royal puryeyors
at double the price at which II can
be bought by a private citizen. II Is
not only that kings and princes can
not chatter and bargain, but 1t Is a
tradition with tbem-almost a point
Of etiquette, at any rate in this coun.
try-not 10 inquire too curiousiy the
price Of anything they. wish TO pur.
chase. Practically, the only excep-
tions 10 this unwritten law are when
the princess Of Wales, for instance,
goes shopping privately, in which case
IL Is etiquette for tradcsmen TO adj
dress and deal with her as a private
person. But even then the royal per-
sonage, II recognized, - usually out

Christmases ago the princess Of Wales
bought two or three OF the little sill

lar that yeaI. For these she was
charged two pounds each, while the
price marked on them in the window

Emperor William. rndoIentTari.man

The emperor of Germany is always
meeting with accidents, although on
the middle finger of his left hand he
wears a famous talisman which for
centuries has been credited with a
supernatural power to protect the
wearer from evil and injury of all
kinds. 1t is a dark-colored, square,
shaped stone, set in a massive gold
ring, and originally belonged to Sa-
ladin, from whom it was captured by
German knight under the walls Of
Jerusalem during the crusades. 1t
afterward came into the possession
of Ulrich, the margrave of Nurem-
burg, who was the founder of tho
Hohenzollern family. This ring has
been passed down from generation to
generation, one of the most highly
priced and interesting heirlooms OF
the dynasty, but the kings of Prus-
sia of late generations have seldom
worn it until il was inherited by the
present kaiser. 1t is matter of dis
cussion whether he wears it from
superstition or ordinary interest. 1t
has never left his finger since he
came to the throne, although by this
time he must have lost confidence in
the protective power of the jewell

APRIL WEATHER.

Coon. an. soon the April weather
with the sunshine al the door.
And the mellow melting rain-wind
Sweeping from the south once more;
Soon the rosy naples budding,
And the willows putting forth,
Misty crimson and soft yellow
In the valleys OF the North
Soon the hazy purple distance.
Where the cabined heart takes wing,
Eager for the old migration
In the magic Of the spring;
Soon. an. soon the budding windfowers
Through the forest white and frail
And the oderous wild cherry
Cleaning in her ghostly veil;
Soon about the waking uplands
The hepaticas In blue
Children Of the first warm sunlight
In their sober Quaker hue
All our shining little sisters
OF the forest ard the field,
Lifting up their quiet faces
With the secret half revealed;
Soon across the folding twilight
OF the round earth hushed to hear,
The first re bin at his vespers
Calling far, serene and clear.

takes the greatest interest in the

Some years since society was very
much disturbed by the case of a lit

cidentally found to be covered with
bruises inflicted by a brutal nurse.
The duchess of Fife said to a lady
who was visiting her: ssNo nurse
would be able to systematically
bruise my children's bodies, for not
many days go by that / do not bathe

stood and remarked: do you trou,
