Twelve Motions of the Earth.

EiOlA OPhlaA 2AiCilSC N1OiAeAAAJs
NJ. Camille Flammarion enumerates
the twelve motions to which the earth
is subject:
First. 1t has a movement of rotation
about it's axis. In virtue of this
point at the equator moves 357 metres
Q,lT1 feeO per second.
Second. 1t has a movement of trans
lation about the sun of $4,000 metres
QS l-S miles) Ger second.
Third. The conical motion of the axis
of rotation in 25,765 years produces the
procession of the equinoxes.
Fourth. The monthly movement of
the earth about the center of gravity
of the system of the earth and moon.
Fifth. The motion of mutation of
the earth's axis has a period of eigh-
teen and half years.
Sixth. The obliquity of the ecliptic
(23 degrees 81 minutes) varies in cycles
of long period.
Eighth. The longer axis of the
earth's orbit revolves in a period of
twenty-one thousand years.
Ninth. The perturbations OF the mo-
ton OF the earth by the combined ac-
ton OF all the planets may be counted
as a single effect, though it is, of
course, the sum of several partial ones.
Tenth. The earth moves about the
center of gravity of the solar system,
not about the center of figure of the
sun, and the place of this center
changes as the coniguration of the
planets change.
Eleventh. The earth, with the whole
solar system, has a motion of transla-
tion through space. The rate of mo-
ton is about seven miles per second.
Twelfth. The axis about which the
earth rotates is perpetually changing
its place with respect to the surface of
our planet. The amount of change of
the pole is small, hardly more than
forty or fifty feet, but it shows itself.
as q regular periodic change in the lat
itudes of terrestrial stations.

Vegetable Compound is a medi-
cine of rare virtue, and having seen
dozens of cares where my suffering
sisters have been dragged back to life
and usefulness from an untimely grave
simply by the use of a few bottles of
that Compound, must proclaim it's
virtues, or l should not be doing my

Dear Sister, is your health poor,
do you feel worn out and used up,

troubles which beset our sex, take my

PUFF FOR DAVE MULvANE.
Fort Scott Boys" Found He Was
Genuine.


Some of the boys down at Fort Scott
have just found out that Dave Mulvane
is all right, through his visit there this
week This is the way the Fort Scott
Tribune sizes up the rising young To-
pekan:
Cd w. MuIvane, who was elected Re
publican national committeeman to sue
coed Cy Leland. and who is now the
national oracle Of Kansas Republicans
is in Fort Scott attending federal court
and having a good time with the boys.
He is a kid. Judging from his appear
ance he must be nearly 80 years old,
though he is a little overgrown. Men
who know him say he's nearer IS, but
he don't look it.
''Mulvane's father is a mil1ionaire-one
of the eight millionaires in Kansas He
made his millions out of the Missouri
and Kansas Telephone company Of
which he is president. Just how young
Mulvane got a start in Kansas politics
that gave him so much prestige is not
known except to those on the inside. It
is generally supposed the Rock Island
railroad, assisted by the other railroads
of the state and his fathers bank ac
count fixed him. He is one of the boys
though, and last night he was out with
them. His presence was a sensation
among the young men here They

such a lavish spender as he proved to be

SNEER Avn CARNEGIE.
English Paper Objects to Millionaire's
Market Views.

New York. May 9. Andrew Car
negie's advice to the British people,
given at the recent meeting of the Iron
and Steel institute, as to how to man
age their own affairs, caused him to be
taken to task by the Chronicle, says the
London correspondent of the Tribune.
Mr.. Carnegie said that the way to con-
quer foreign markets was to have con-
troll of the markets at home. This re-
mark the Chronicle constructs into
meaning that Englishmen should pay
no attention to anything outside of the
boundaries of the British islands, and
jumps to the conclusion that Mr. Car
negie breaches a gospel of most paro-
chial utiIitarianism.
Another remark made by Mr.. Car
negie. that there was far more lost in
consols at 95 than would ever be gained
in South Africa, was not unanimously
acquiesced in at the meeting.

BOXING IN CHICAGO.
Mayor Harrison Will Permit Only
High Glass Battles.

Chicago, May 9.-Boxing in Chicago is
now UP to the city council. Action IS to
be taken at the meeting of that body
Monday night, when a resolution will be
introduced resembling the resolution
which Alderman Patterson had passed
last December a short time after the
McGovern-C Cans fasco. The Patterson
resolution recommended that the police
department and mayor refuse to sane
ton any more boxing and issue no more
permits for the same.
Mayor Harrison is rather non COM
initial in regard to the question. He
said that he would take no action in the
matter one way or another until the
council had done something with the
Patterson resolution. He added:
i have been petitioned by several
promoters. but cannot act until the rec
ords have been cleared. am thorough
~ satisfied that if the game is allowed
to 60 it will be conducted honestly and
if it is not there win be another and
more thorough finish for it than there
was before. It is my idea to place a
strong limit on the bouts and sanction
only those Of high class and not permit
any Of the little baclzroom fights to pro-
coed. That is the best way to do away
with the cheaper grade OF fighters
The mayor could not say what he
thought would be a good limit to be
placed on the bouts. but it is generally
understood by those close to him that
he intends to allow but a couple of big
shows a month and that this will be the
limit

%, 000, 600 of ecclesiastical, civic, humani-
tartan and labor organizations by de-
Gliding to throw open the gates Of the
exhibition on Sunday.
The resolutions stamp the directors

subject before the formal opening of the
exposition on May 20.

CAUGHT BY CHICKEN STORY
How Eugene Lattimer Was Worked

Eugene Lattimer. assistant in the state
library was worked by a stranger a few
days ago to the extent Of So by cashing
a worthless check for him. The man
gave his name as J. NJ. Moore and drew
the check on the Farmers and Afer-
chants bank, Of Mound City. After he
had cashed the check and the fellow
had gone Lattimer telephoned to the
Mound City bank. Cashier H c. Reese
replied to his inquiry that he didn't
know such man.
Lattimer says the fellow was well ac-
quainted with Arthur Ellis and others
in that neighborhood and mentioned that
Mrs. Ellis had told him a few days be-
fore than she had 40 young chickens
Matched out already. This statement
won Genes confidence and acted as a
sort of incubator to hatch a IS bill out

LAVA ROCK DUTY
Shipment Into U. S. Assessed at so
Per Cent Ad VaIorem.

New York. May "a decision has
been made by the board of classification
of the United States general appraisers
upon an important but not generally I'M
derstood import. It was relative to the
status of lava rock under the present
tariff. The lava rock in question was
hewn and squared and the collector in
San Francisco assessed a duty of so per
cent ad valorem under the provision for
"other building stone, hewn." The i'm

tested, claiming a lower duty under any

The board overrules the protest and in
rendering this decision reverses a pre-
vious decision of it's own, which had
been affirmed by the United States cir
cult court, for the southern district of
New York General Appraiser Fischer,
who wrote the opinion for the board in
the present case, says that at the time
the previous case was heard no evidence
was authorized to show that lava rock
was used for building stone anywhere in
the United States In the present case,
however, the testimony submitted proved
conclusively that lava rock is now
used largely for building purposes in
this country.

ENGLANDIS DAZED.
Don't Know What to Make of Ameri-
can Speoulations.


New York May 9.-According to the
London correspondent of the Tribune,
the American revel in speculation, with
details of vast fortunes made in the
course of a few weeks, continues to
fascinate and to perplex Englishmen-
The holdings of English investors in
the properties which have been making
a meteoric passage across the western
sky We're disposed of long ago. There
has been little speculation in London
in American securities, and the market
quotations have risen automatically in
response to Wall street prices
English spectators have kept out OF
the American market because they did
not understand what was going on,
and had no faith that the rise in values
would be permanent. They have not
made anything out of the American
market. and every other market has
been stagnant since the opening Of the
BOer war.
If American prosperity be an mex
plicable marvel to Englishmen. J. Pier
pont Morgan is the inscrutable mys-
terry. His name is connected daily with
one stupendous operation after another
until the British public is prepared to
accept any halfpenny fiction about him.
