cts will be issued hereafter, and all
books taken from the library must be
drawn on annual membership cards.
Now. here is a grand opportunity
for every loyal citizen of Guthrie and
vicinity to assist in an enterprise
which will be of great public bens-
fit, and at the same time give the
holders of tickets ten times their
moneys worth of pleasure derived
from the reading of the new books
which will be placed within their
reach.
We cordially and urgently invite the
citizens of Guthrie to visit the library
and enter their names on the new
register that will be provided especi-
ally for the six hundred names at one
dollar each. The librarian will call
on all who do not find It convenient
to come to the library.
Matters are being vigorously push
ed by the library board. They fully
intond that a year hence an elegant
library structure shall adorn one n
the fine corners in the heat u the
city.

euTHRIE,s NEW LIBRARY.
An Appeal to the Public to Assist the
New Enterprise.

Friends and Fellow Citizens:
It is matter already made public
that Mr.. Andrew Carnegie has Of
fered $4,000 to the city of Guthrie
for the purpose of erecting public
library building, with the proviso
that the city furnish a site and a
maintenance of $4,000 annually.
Our one mill levy Will now give us
81 400, but this amount is 5000 short
of meeting the requirement, and
making it possible for us 20 accept
Mr.. Carnegies generous gift.
The library board is confident that
this amount can be raised at once,
and they propose to do it in the fol-
lowing manner:
They will issue memberships to the
library at one dollar each. Holders
of membership cards are entitled to
draw books from the library for one
year. Heretofore membership tickets
have been issued at the rate of two

A Monkey without Brains.

No convincing proof has yet been
given that any particular portion of
the brain is exclusively concerned in
intellectual operations. Goltz, the
most prominent representative Of the
dwindling band who still refuse to be-
lieve In the localization even Of the
motor functions, has lately published
an interesting paper containing the re-
suits Of observations on a monkey
which was carefully watched for eleven
years after the removal Of the greater
part Of the gray matter Of the middle
and interior portions Of the left hemi-
sphere of the brain. The character of
the animal, whose tricks and peculiari-
ties had been studied for months be-
fore the operation, was entirely unaf-
fected. All Its traits remained unal-
tered. On the other hand, disturbances
of movement on the right side were
very noticeable up to the time Of its
death. 1t learned again to use the
right limbs, but there was always a
certain clumsiness in their movements.
In actions requiring only one hand the
right was never willingly employed
and it evidently cost the animal a
great effort to use it. Before the oper-
alton it would give either the right OF
left hand when asked for it.-Popular
Science Monthly.

Two parallel cables span this immense
gap, without support between the wide

a cage conveying a car capable of car
rying 5000 feet of green. and therefore
very heavy, timber on each trip. The
tower terminals are anchored in the

A WONDERFUL LENS.

Some years ago the writer paid a
gisit to Alvah Clark, at Cambridgeport,
to witness the testing of the huge lens
for the famous Lick telescope. At the
end of the long, dark room the largest
flint glass then in the world was set
up on edge. From distance Of about
fifty feet a pencil of light was flashed
into the heart of the disk and reflected
back into the observers eye. The
slightest imperfections, If any, in the
glass, would then be revealed by the
curves of light and the liues Of polari-
cation. "Now," said Mr.. Clark, II will
show you the wonderful sensitiveness
of the lens to outside influence. Every
human body gives out heat, and when
brought, near to extremely sensitive
substances, affects them to greater or
less extent. Now watch" He walked
down to the lens, and held his hand
under it about two feet away. Instan-
taneously a marvellous spectacle burst
into view. It seemed as If the great
glass disk had become o living vol
cano, squirting forth Jets OF fame, The
display was dazzling, Waving, leapins,

reluctantly, they died away, leaving
the lens rejecting only pure, un-
troubled light. What is it? How do
you account for the wonder?" were the
eager questions. ut is only the radia-

A Floating Telescope.

AT the Cambridge observatory, in
England, new form Of telescope has
been erected which possesses some
points of interest for the lovers Of ce-
lestial photography, says Popular AS
tronomy. The telescope floats in a
trough of mercury. This trough is an
annular vessel, within which is a float
having the telescope mounted at its
centre. Between the sides of the
trough and the float is a space about
half an inch, which is filed with
mercury. About 125 pounds, or
rather more than gallon of the liquid
is required to do the work. The per-
Torrance Of this new form OF instru-
ment is reported to be very satisfac-
tory.
