POLITICS AND GEOLOGY.
Rich Soil Made Republicans, Poor Soil
Produced Democrats.

An interesting story, showing how
something to do with present-day poll
tics, is told by members of the govern
mental geological survey, who for some
years have been at work in Michigan,
in Wisconsin and in Illinois Immediately
south Of Chicago, studying the glacial
drift, says Washington correspondent
of the New York Post.
In 1896, during the first Bryan cam
paign, q geological party under govern
ment direction was at work on several
of the glacial deposits in Illinois, just be-
low Chicago. One of the drifts, which
extended for many miles east and west,
and was perhaps fifty miles across from
north to south, had deposited materials
which afterward turned into. rich SOIL
The farmers living in the drifts were
thrifty and the country towns seemed
prosperous, Notwithstanding the hard
times. 1t was noticed by the biologists,
as they went from one part Of the drift
to another, that Mckinley and Hobart
Autographs were in the windows, in
both town and country, in the ratio Of
more than to 1 as compared to those of
Bryan and Sewall.
Immediately adjoining this rich glacial
deposit there is a sand plain equally large
in area and quite as pOpulOus. The soil
on the. sand plain is thin and. the crops
are poor, save when conditions are per-
feet. The biologists made careful in
spection Of the windows and discovered
that Bryan and Sewall autographs Of
homes and stores: in the sand plain
outnumbered those of Mckinley and Ho-
bart more than 2 to l. Hi.

LARGEST WATCH FINISHED.
Mammoth Timepiece Required Year
to Build and Cost $4,000. &z4i


The largest watch in the world has Just
been finished by watch manufacturing

piece was built for a watch company in
Manhattan. which will place it in the
front of its Fulton street store for adyer-

1t Is expected that the watch will be in
place and indicating the time of day in
about a week; It is not an advertising
watch in the sense that such instruments
usually are, but it is timepiece Of the
highest order. The works are: equal to
any that have ever been made, and the
unusual size Of them makes it possible to
employ adjustments and error-correcting
devices that could not be used in an or.
binary watch. Beside the usual adjust
ments FOR heat and cold, etc, that are to
De round in all good works, this watch
contains adjustments for correcting as-ro-
4omcal variations and changes Of cycles.
