OLYMPIA WASHINGTON FRIDAY EVENING, MAY TO- 1901.

%. Have your feelings on questions
1, ; and 4 undergone change? If SO,
when and in what way?
&c. Would you like to know for
certain about the future life, or would
you prefer to leave it matter OF
faith?
1t is anticipated that when these
enumerators OF the society get down
to the dog-catchers, the sewer cleaners,
and the politicians who are Tedeeming
campaign premises the significance Of
question 3 b will have mighty signifi-
cance.
"What would have to be the char
aeter of the new life to make it loler-
able? Would you be content with a
life more or less like your present
life?"
The answers to this question are ex-
pected to be OF more human interest
than the answers to all the rest.
There have been thousands of ex-
pressions from old people recorded
against the idea OF ever going through
this world-life second time. Pre-
sumably this feeling has held against
going through the same kind OF life in
another sphere. Now, this question OF
just how much better than this life a
future life would have to be in order
to have charms is peculiarly pertinent.
1t has been considered by the ortho-
dox that the promise of future state
so radically different from this has
been one of the charms of the New
Testament promises. The orthodox
hell long has been modified by almost
unanimous consent. Shall the Soci-
ETY. of Psychical through matter of
fact constituency which may believe
in letting we'll enough alone, attempt
to make the orthodox heaven a little
more material?
So far as the society Is concerned
any old answer will do-even refusal
to answer being considered hot stuff il
the stubborn one will only assign a
reason for so doing.

ANOTHER REGULARITY OF AIR
Solid Air May Be the Great Giant Of the
Future

The manner that air has been
liquefied still greater degree OF cold
renders it possible to convert it into 8
solid. In the same way that when
carbonic acid gas was liquefied under
pressure and cold, when the pressure
was removed, the volatilization pro.
duced great degree OF cold, the result
being frozen or solid carbonic acid
gas. Thus, when liquid air is allowed
to evaporate, it IS possible that the
liquid will become solid. The same is
true of any other gases which have
been liquefied.
This is the first intimation that
have received OF any such experiment
and l am therefore unable to express
any opinion upon the statements as
made in the account. Years ago it
used to be stated that the celebrated
physicist and chemist, Bunsen, had
no doubt that in certain planets,
when n hailstorm occurred in them,
the hail, instead OF being merely
frozen water, was in all probability
metallic platinum.
AS to the possibilities OF such a
compound as sofid atmospheric air
no definite opinion can be stated.
Whether it can have any economic
value or industrial utility is entirely a
problem to be determined hereafter by
detailed investigation. Even liquid
air, up to the present time, has not
been found productive of any practi.
cal application. At present it may be
simply considered rs a wonderful
curiosity in the laboratory of the
chemist and physicist.
1t is possible that the plastic, rub.
ber-like solid air may be the great
giant OF the future, and accomplish
undreamed OF results.

others have wavered and hesitated,
Seth has been all the firmer. His

~ URING Harper's absence
from the regiment, the other
IL "twin" had entered another
branch of service for the govern
ment, so did not get to see him till
some time after he came back.
Harper was soon given the rank OF
major and appointed on the general
staff, but he made the boys a visit
whenever he could and they always
went wild over him. Mrs. Harper
was in Alexandria so as to be as near
to her husband in the field as posi-
BILE.
The war was being carried on at
this time with great fury and often
the men in battle on either side, or
elsewhere, would conduct themsel-
yes more like savage beasts than
human beings. Such dreadful de-
basing influence is civil war that
men sometimes forget that they are
citizens of a civilized country and
they become so accustomed to the
shedding of blood that taking life is
as nothing.
Major Harper, while carrying or
ders to a distant flank of the army
of the Potomac, was captured by a
body of scouts for the enemy and
hurriedly conveyed to Richmond
and hastily ironed, placed in Castle
Thunder. The next day he was
brought before a drumhead court
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1901-10-04

and upon the testimony of three
men, who swore that the mans
name was not Harper, and that he
was not a major in the service of the
Northern government, but that he
was a spy, well known to the secret
department of the Confederate gov
eminent, and that they had been
following him for months with in
structions to capture him dead or
alive. In vain did Harper protest
his innocence, that it was case of
mistaken identity and plead for the
privilege of communicating with his
government. In less than an hour
from the commencement of this
farce of trial, Harper was con-
demned to be hanged by the neck
until he was dead, at sunrise, in
the prison yard, next morning. 1t
was now late in the evening and only
a few hours of life remained to him.
Before the court dispersed Harp
er made short, impassioned appeal
for Justice. He said that the three
witnesses against him were no doubt
honest in their convictions, but they
had made a mistake in his identity;
that he was not the man, and if they
would grant him few hours he
could prove his statement; that he
was captured in the regular uniform
of his government while on the well
recognized duty of staff officer.
While Harper was thus making his
plea, one of the three men took from
pocket a small photograph and
looking at it a moment intensely,
and then at Harper, handed it to
the president of the court. He
glanced at the likeness and then at
Harper and then passed it around
the board. After all had looked at
the likeness, the president said,
"What say you, gentlemen, are you
in doubt of this being the same per-
son?" The board replied, "We be-
lieve this to be the spy" The pres
ldent asked the man who gave him
the picture, if that was the likeness
of the man they wanted9 He said
it was. The president then SAID that
no one of the board having doubt
in the case, the sentence would stand
and the execution take place at the
time stated. Harper then asked if
he would be allowed the privilege of
writing and this being granted he re-
quested that writing material be
brought to him. He was taken back
to his cell and surrounded by the
guard, he seated himself and asked
that the irons be removed from his
hands. He first wrote petition to
President Davis, stating the facts in
his case and begging for postpon-
ment of his execution and for fur
ther investigation of his case. He
asked the captain of the guard to
read it and then, if it could be done,
sent to the president. The officer said
it should be sent Immediately but
advised Harper to build no hopes on
a favorable answer. Harper then
wrote to his wife, his commanding
officer and several of the boys of his
old company, including Thompson
and was still writing when the officer
of the guard came in and told him
his time was up. Harper handed
