SCIENTIFIC NOTES.
S.o>~~oS~~~~ou~~

To utilize the vast energy of the
earth's motion is now dream of
science. The late Prof q f.
Fitzgerald supposed that the
magnetic field of a charged con-
densor, with plates edgewise to
the motion through the ether,
might be traced to the earth's
motion, and an experience has
been made by Dr. F. 7. Trouton,
F. r S., to settle this point The
results have been negative. 1t is
now pointed out that if the oharg-
ing battery is responsible for the
energy of the magnetic field, there
are reasons for believing that the
earth's motion tends to turn a
charged condenser at right angle
to itself, and test is proposed
with a delicately suspended con-
denser charged to high voltage.
If the expected effect is obtained,
continuous rotation will be posi-
BILE from the power of the earth.

THE PANAMA ROUTE.

1t is not strange that the Pana-
ma canal route has found cham
pions in the house of representa-
tives against the one through
Nicaragua 1t would be strange
if it were otherwise.
There is much to be said in
favor of the Panama route, in
addition to the fact that large
part of the work has been COM
pleted. The French holders of
the concession are offering it at a
small price compared with the
sum which has been expended
upon it, They are willing to take
S40,000,000, and yet they have
spent some three or four times
that amount.
1t would be unfortunate if the
money and labor placed upon the
Panama canal should be lost not
only to the holders of the conces-
sion but in sense to the whole
world through its abandonment;
and there is little doubt that it
would be abandoned if the United
States should determine to adopt
the Nicaragua route. There is
no need of two canals and the
Frenohmen would be unable to
raise the money with which to
complete their canal if the United
States should take hold of the
rival enterprise.
The decision of congress should
not be reached without due con-
sideration of all that may be said
for or against the Panama route
1t after thorough investigation and
inquiry it should be deemed best
to construct the proposed canal
through Nicaragua, the decision
would be sustained by public
sentiment; but it would not be so
if the Panama route should be
rejected without being given fair
hearing-Denver Republican.

IT is announced from Washing
ton that Gen. Grovesnor, one of
the house leaders, will fight any
western irrigation bill. The gen
tlemen is quoted as saying: 81
represent constituency largely
made up of farmers. Why should
they be taxed to provide farms for
competitors? We would like to
ask the Hon. Mr.. Grovesnor what
these United States were banded
together for if it was not to help
each other. Did not the West
have to be taxed it's proportion to
help levee the Mississippi and
Ohio rivers? And did not the
West assist in paying for the
excellent harbor projections of the
Eastp If Mr.. Grovesnor fights
the western irrigation bill he will
do SO from purely selfish motive
and not for the protection of his
constituency.

PROMINENT TAN DEAD.
John e. Lloyd Expires From APP
oplexy This Morning.

John e. Lloyd, distributing
clerk at the postofice, is dead,
falling victim of apoplexy at GAO
this morning at his home on West
Main street, aged AZ years, 10
months and % days.
Deceased apparently enjoyed
good health until last evening
about $50, he was seized with
the trouble and his wife asked him
what was the matter He replied
that he supposed that he had
smoked to muck His condition
grew worse and he retired, follow
ed by his wife shortly afterward,
Other people in the house heard
him snoring loudly and went up
stairs to learn the cause. Doctors
were at once summoned who ar
rived with all possible haste, but
to find that the man was dying,
and his soul passed away shortly
after daybreak
Mr.. Lloyd leaves wife, two
sons, two brothers, Ed of Denver,
and Thomas of Coal Creek, and a
very large circle of friends who
were shocked to learn of his un
timely death.
He had been employed under
ex- Postmaster Rambo during the
time of his official capacity and
also under Postmaster Davie. His
death has proven blow to the
postoffice, and Postmaster Davie
said today that he was the most
reliable and Trustworthy man he
had ever had under him in any
capacity. His honesty and integ-
rity were never questioned, He
held other positions of trust in
this city.
AT Coal Creek he served as post
master for term of years and
conducted the business in a sue
cessful and agreeable manner He
WIS atfable, sympathetic and very
seldom became angry, the latter
being what won him his hundreds
of friends.
Mr. Lloyd was pioneer of this
part of the the valley, locating in
Coal Creek with his parents nearly
twenty-five years ago AT that
time Florence was seldom heard of
and the ground now occupied by
handsome business and residence
structures was then barren waste.
He Witnessed the rapid growth of
this place and was ever ready to
assist in its progress,
There is not man in the valley
more prominent and popular in
lodge circles than was he, being a
memb ber of Fremont lodge No. 9S,

He Feels His Pulse.
New Orleans Times Democrat.


"A friend of mine has one of the funniest
habits i have ever run across" said an OBJ
servant man, land like most other men who
are afflicted with popularity of some sort,
he evidently is not conscious of the fact all
the time. He has the rather curious habit
OF feeling his own pulse. He has brooded
ever his physical condition so much that he
t. always worried about the way his pulse
beats. and IL would not surprise me to hear
that he had died with his fingers on his
pulse. He has suffered a great deal, and is
nearly always I'm a feverish condition. He
has been a constant sufferer now for nearly
fifteen years, and | have known him for a
greater part of that time. Since / have
known him he has shown disposition TO
keep close track OF his pulse. Occasionally
/ see him standing on the street corner,
and he will have his hand on his pulse. 1t
seems TO be impossible for him TO get his
mind OF of his wrist. Many times i have
had him to ask TO feel OF his pulse to
see whether l thought 1t was regular or
not, and If / didn't think IL was a little
How much he suffers account of this
peculiar mania, for II is mania, there is
TO way of determining. There Is. TO be
sure, a physical basis for the fear he has
but i know many men who are in much
worse condition. and yet who have not de-
veloped half the uneasiness. Put in the
plainest language possible. my friend lives
in constant fear that his pulse is about TO
cease beating, that his life Is about 10 go
