Missouri Counties.

Some interesting State history
found in the jefferson City Trib-
une:
No new county has been formed
i'll Missouri for more than twenty
years, and it is doubtful whether,
except i'll rare instances, there will
ever be another. The counties
number Ia and the City of st.
Louis which, under the Constitu-
ton, is treated as a county. There
were only five counties when Mis-.
souri, was made Il territory in 1872
or, rather, five districts afterwards
called counties. These were St.
Charles, st. Louis, Ste .Geneyievc,
Cape Girardeau and New Madrid.
all with French or Spanish names.
The hero worship, which exists
i'll Missourlans, is strikingly mani.
tested in the fact that out of the
100 counties formed since 1872,
"a bear the name of some diStin-
guished individual. OF the other
-, rivers give names to eight:
Cedar, Gasconade, Mississippi.
Maries, Nodaway, Usage, Platte
and st. Francois. Howell was
named for the valley, Iron for the
iron mines, Oregon for the State,
Ozark for the mountains, Moni-
teau for the Indian Great Spirit,
Scotland for the Land of the This
tie, Texas for the then new rcpub-
lie, and Pemiscot for its swamp
land, the word meaning liquid
mud.
With these exceptions, the Mis-
souri, counties bear the names of
some individual. Seven Presidents
of the United States are thus re-.
membered-onc, Andrew Jackson,
twice-Jackson county and HEX
ory both being named for him.
Ten state Governors, eleven Unit
ed States Senators, signcr of the
Declaration of Independence, rev
olutionary soldiers and statesmen
and several Indian fighters and
early MisSourians furnish the
names for the other counties.
The history of the West can al.
most he recalled in the names of
the Missouri counties. II is only
rcgretablc that so few Indian words
have been preserved.

Left Only the Hole.

The following from the Wells
vile Record tells about an oil
boom burst:
The Wellsville oil well is prob.
ably a thing of the past, as far as
the Western Union Oil Company
is concerned. The drillers pulled
up the machinery and departed for
Moberly the first of the week
where a home company has been
organized to prospect for oil.
Now it some company with Il lit
tie financial backing would come
here and bore they would proba-
bly, be rewarded by striking oil, as
there is little doubt but what it is
here. But it takes money and
that is Just what the Western Tn
ion seemed not to have.
All kinds of rumors have been
afloat the past week, such as new
machinery would bc sent here, etc. =,
but the indications are that no
more work will be done here un-
less some other company comes on
the field.
The people of Wellsville regret
very much that their oil boom has
turned out thus, but it is not their
fault, and we hope some reliable
company will come here and push
the work.

The Missouri Compromise.

Missouri will be eighty years a
State on the 10th of August, prox
The admission of Missouri into
the union was indeed memorable
affair. 1t was the first notable in
cident in the series of contests ov-
er the slavery question which first
excited, and in the end convulsed
the country. The Missouri com
promise was the opening panacca
for the struggle, as its repeal was
the signal for doing away with all
compromises on the subject. The
Boston Herald in referring to the
coming S0th anniversary of Mis-
souri's statehood says that Massa-
chusetts' feeling when this com
promise was proposed was strong
ly against it. One of her able
public men was politically ruined
by casting a vote in Congress in
its favor. He was Henry Shaw,
of Lanesboro, in the western part
of the State. Mr.. Shaw was re-
pudiated by his constituents and
lost to public life. His memory
was revived "A generation later in

Scientist Says the Heat viii
Increase i'm Fury.

New York, July ~ The New
York journal prints an article up
on the hot weather by Garrett L.
Scrviss, the scientific writer. The
article, dated at Ithaca, n. Y,
says:
The burning heat now afllict-
ing the whole of the United States
and felt also on the other side of
the Atlantic and generally thruout
the northern hemisphere is ronvin-
cling proof of the fact that the
earth is Il satellite of II variable
star. Only on the assumption that
the source of terrible heat is di-
rectly in the sun and due TO an rX-
traordinary increase in its effective
radiation can the widespread and
long-continurd nature of the pres.
cnt meteorological disaster he sat
isfactorily explained.
All astronomers know that the
face of the sun is hlankctcd with
absorbing vapors, while its inter
Tor is much hotter than the glow
ing shell that we see. Strip off
the vaporous blanket entirely and
the sur ace of the earth would
probably burst into smoke and
flame i'll the instantaneous gush of
unbearable heat that would be
poured upon it.
whenever, as occurs periodic
ally, tho not always 10 the same
extent, the solar vapors are thin
ned, the heat from within leaps
out thru the weakened shell and
strikes the earth and the other
planets aS with breath of fire
from the suddenly opened door of
blazing furnace.
That is what has happened this
summer, and the immediate agcn-
cy that has flung open the furnace
doors aud sent forth the destroy
ing blast n the mysterious power
whose visible manifestation is the
presence of black sun spots. But
it is mistake TO suppose that the
sun spots themselves exercise amy
direct Influence upon the weather.
or that there must be spots on the
sun whenever there is cXtraordina-
ry heat on the earth
The sun spots are simply imdi-
Gators of the suns condition, re-
Scmhling in that respect the crup-
tons on the face of Il smallpox pa
tient. They tell the story of the
sun ; internal commissions and in
dicatc some of the places ON It's
surface where the pcnt up forces
are bursting ont.
For the next four years these
gigantic OutburStS will increase in
fury, and Il corresponding series
of terrestrial seasons marked by
great eXccsscs of temperature, sud
den contrasts and extraordinary
cyclOnic disturbances will follow. ~
