In Bat Land.
4 good little bat, when the day is nigh,
Flies home to his snug little bed;
As soon as the sun is up in the sky
No bat should be seen overhead.
They sleep all day, tucked out of the way,
And what seems the strangest of all,
Their heads hang down where their tails
ought to be,
And they cling by their toes to the wall.
When the sun has set and the birds are at
rest,
And the moon and the stars are on high
Then each little bat pops out OF his nest
And goes for sail through the sky
How topsy-turvy their life must be-
They breakfast at s p. m;
And just at dawn they are ready for tea
But it doesn't seem queer to them.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Few New Developments of Import.
ance Rre RepOrIed.

New York, July 5.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Quiet conditions have prevailed in
most branches of business, especially
in those markets already affected by
labor disputes. Large interest pay
ments testify to the prosperous con-
dtion of railways, industrial corpora
tions and financial institutions, and,
aside from the labor troubles, the half
year Just ended was remarkably sat
isfactory.
In the iron and steel districts there
have been no developments of import
ance. In the textile markets cotton
goods sold freely at recent conces-
sions. and the tone was steady, while
wOolen mills are more actively en-
gagged, and buyers are in the eastern
markets for raw material. Quotations
of wool made a further slight ad-
vance.
Railroad earnings for the half year
just closed are the largest ever re-
ported. Total gross earnings of all
railroads in the United States, re-
ting for the half year to date, are
$61S, 40, sos.
Commercial failures in the first half
of 1902 numbered 6,165, with liabili-
ties of S6O,374Sj6. This is an increase
of $3.50, 100 compared with last year,
and $1S,311.9 1928 more than the eXcep-
tionally favorable record of 1899.

PEACE AND AMNESTY.
President Roosevelt Issues ProcIama-
Hons 10 EIIIpInOs and Our A rmy.

Washington, July 4.-The president
has formally declared the restoration
of peace in the Philippine archipela-
go; he has placed the islands under
complete civil control, and has eN-
tended general amnesty to the Fill
pinos who have been in rebellion.
These three things, marking one of
the most important chapters in Phil
ippine history, were accomplished
through the issue of three separate
orders and proclamations, one by the
president over his own signature, ex-
tending amnesty; one through Secre-
tary Root, by the presidents order,
relieving Gen. Chatfee from his duties
as military governor, and third,
which takes the shape of a general
order addressed to the entire army Of
the United States, in which Secretary
Root takes occasion to express the
presidents high appreciation of the
work it has accomplished in Cuba and
the Philippines.

A TIMELY RESCUE.
Globe TrOtters DE WIndt and Hard.
Ing are Found by WhaIer Oh the
shore of Herring Sea,

Nome, Alaska. via San Francisco,
July Capt. Cottle, of the whaler
William Baylies, who has arrived
from the north, reports succoring
Harry de Windt and his companion,
George Harding, who were in distress
on the shore of Bering Sea. De Nindt
and Harding left Paris last December,
intending to make an overland jour
ney across Asia to America, via Ber-
ing Straits. They travelled to Gakutsk,
in Siberia, and then proceeded by
reindeer team to the two most
northerly settlements in Russia, and
from there they travelled distance
Of more than 1,5OO miles onward.
Capt. Cottle found the two explorers
at Whadyluk.
They had a terrible trip across the
country, their provisions were almost
gone, and they had reached the coast
only to find that the ice had gone out
of the straits and that it was impossi-
BILE to accomplish the periIous feat Of
crossing Bering Straits on the ice.
The captain supplied them with pro-
visions and states that he believes
that they will make their way across
in q native skin boat.

BLOWN TO ATOMS.
A WhItecapper Is Killed by n Shot
that Exploded Dynamite He Carried
Nine of His Comradcs Inimred.

Mammoth Springs, Ark, July As
the result of an alleged attempt at
whitecapping at Union, a small viii
lage in this county, Pink Gibson, a
we'll known citizen, was blown to
atoms with dynamite. and nine other
men were more or less seriously in
jured.
Harvey Sexton received warning
that band of whitecappers were to
visit his house, with the avowed in
tention of killing him and dynamiting
the building. Sexton barricaded his
doors and with a rifle kept a sharp
lookout. Wednesday the alleged
whitecappers made their appearance
and Sexton fired only one shot, the
bullet striking Gibson in the stomach,
killing him instantly, and passing
through a pocket in which a stick of
dynamite was carried. Immediately
there was terrific explosion and the
ground for "A number of yards around
the unfortunate man was torn up.
Nine of his companions were injured.

COLOR AFFECTS DEW.
Truth of the Assertion Can BE Proved
by Amy Doubter by n simple
E&Deriment.

There are conditions in which
color materially affects the forma-
ton of dew, as may be shown by a
simple experiment. Place three
pieces of board--one white, another
green and another black-so that
they may have the sun on them all
day, and leave them exposed to the
air all night. a clear, cool night
should be chosen for the eXeperi-
ment, for dew rarely forms when it
is cloudy.
If all the conditions are normal it
will be found in the morning that
there is a great deal of dew on the
white board, much less on the green
board, and still less on the black
board; indeed, there may be none at
all on the latter.
The difference is due to the fact
that the three boards absorb the suns
rays unequally, and are, therefore, OF
different temperatures at the close
of the day. The black board absorbs
the most heat and the white board
the least. They all begin to lose
their heat as soon as the suns rays
leave them, the white board cooling
first, the green board next and the
black board last. AS soon as they
become cool enough to condense the
watery vapor of the air in contact
with them, dew will begin to form on
them, and the most dew will fall on
the one that cools first. 1t may be
that the black board will absorb
more heat during the day than it can
throw off at night; if so, no dew
will form on it.-Louisville Courier
Journal.

London. July 1.-The general feel
ing of relief as a result of favora bic
reports of the condition of King Ed
ward vented itself last night by the
touching off of the 5000 bonires
throughout the United Kingdom
which were originally prepared To
celebrate coronation night.
London, July 2.-The steady pro-
gress of King Edward is fully retained
and his majesty takes liquid nourish-
ment with keen enjoyment. He is al
lowed a light cigar day. He evinced
the greatest interest in the ar
rangements for yesterdays review
of the colonial troops.
London, July 4.-Everything points
to a satisfactory, if somewhat pro-
longed. convalescence of the king. 1t
is expected that the bulletins regard
ing his condition will soon be re-
duced to one a day. A striking scene
was witnessed yesterday. \ big brake
loaded with Fijian soldiers drew up
in front of the palace. The men We're
barelegged and bareheaded; their
frizzy hair was long and dyed, and
with their white cotton skirts and
quaint tunics they presented a
strange spectacle. In front of the
palace the Fijans solemnly intored

HIGH CiFT OFFICIALS.
They Played IA Game of 'Grnft'' I'm
MINNEAPOLIS,

Minneapolis, Mimi, July 4.-Inter-
est in the trial of Chief of Police
Frederick .tmes for bribery reached
feverish intensity Thursday, when
Christopher c. Norbeclt, of the detec-
tive force, himself under indictment
for bribery, described on the witness
stand the whole system of graft"
With the manner of one who was find
ing relief in unloading a guilty con
science, he told of his relations with
the system of corruption, involving
the superintendent in his disclosures
and before he could be headed off by
n objection from the defense, imph-
eating the superintendent'S brother,
Mayor \. \. Ames.
Norbeck said he had received orders
directly from the mayor to tell the
chief that he had been instructed to
take orders from Inspector Irwin
Gardner and "Billy" Edwards,
Big Mitt" men, in furtherance of the
understanding reached with the ad-
ministration for the swindling of un-
sophisticated strangers in the city.
He was instructed to take care Of
"suckerS" who made a hOller" and
induce them by persuasion or threats
to leave the city and he had done
such work for a year and "A half.
Roman MEX, who had been
swindled out of a draft for $755. of
which he $4OO back by "squealing," )"
was another witness. He said Chief
Ames had advised him to leave town
and the police would get after the
swindlers when he had gone. The
chief, he said, had advised him that it
was useless to try to stop payment
on the draft, as he had indor:ed it
for the swindlerS and il was now as
good as money. MEX gave the story
To the newspapers and the chief told
him be had flushed the game.

A RAILWAY HORROR.
Fifteen People KILLED and 20 Injured
In "a Collision on Trolley Line In
New v Ork.

Utica, y. Y, July 5.-On an electric
railroad near Gloyersville last night
| there was a collision between two
cars crowded with passengers, by
which 10 persons were killed and 30
injured. For u distance of four miles
north of Gloversville. the Mountain
Lake railway, an electric road, con-
meets Gloversville with a popular
place of resort or picnic ground. As
il was the Fourth of July the place
| was crowded with pleasure seekers.
Last night the cars were filled with
people coming home from the
grounds. At 1890 p. m, at a distance
of about two and a half miles north
of Gloversville, there was collision
between two cars, one bound north
and one bound south. They came to-
| gether head on with terrific velocity.
The Mountain Lake railway tracks
| follow the side of a mountain, the
! grade being about 1000 feet in four
miles. Coming down the incline, the
| motorInan of one car carrying about
! 20 people lost control of the car,
which soon acquired frightful We
| locity. Then 1t met a car ascending
ihe HlouHtdlh anu also carrying dDouJ
! 20 passengers. The impact was ter
rife, but for few moments neither
car left the track. the ascent of the
one being overcome by the rush Of
the other, and for a distance of sew
eral hundred feet they went on down
the incline. Then they left the rails
ad the dead and wounded were hurled
together in an inextricable mass.
At 2:3O o'clock ten bodies, mangled
beyond recognition, were brought in
to Gloversville, where the injured
were also being taken. The latter
are being cared for at the Littaner
hospital, 1t will be impossible for
several hours to compile list of the

Utilization of Tidal Forces,

tion that the forces of the waves and
tides, if harnessed, could be made to
do an unlimited amount of work, but,
until very lately, no one has been ven
turesome enough to attempt so bold
an appropriation of the earth's natural
forces. Two schemes, recently devised,
are worth noting. One is calculated to
revolve waterwheels, thus extracting
a tithe of their energy. The other con-
sists of number of buoys so anchored
and constructed as to utilize wave force
to compress air. Both schemes, it is
said, are well financed, and are assured
of thorough test.

LAND AND WATER BOAT.
Queer Craft, Invented by n Bostoa
Man, Launches Passengers
from the Dry beach.

On many beaches which are very
level it is impossible to launch
boat from the land unless the passen-
gers wade out or the boat is pushed
out by hand, and it is to overcome
this obstacle that the apparatus
shown in the drawing has been de-
signed by Samuel T. Britain, of Bos-
ton, Mass. With this contrivance the
passenger may enter the boat and
be driven along the beach into the
water, and when finally launched the
same apparatus which accomplished
that work is used to propel the boat
through the water.
Any ordinary form of motor is
used, being geared by chains to the
apparatus shown in the rear of the
boat. This consists of a gear wheel
with concave face secured in a rigid
yoke, with a fitting post carrying a

~ THEIR SHIRT SLEEVES,
Governors of Two States Drove the
First Rivet for the BattIeship Me-

Seattle, Wash, July 5.-The keel of
the battleship Nebraska was laid in
Moran Bros. G. Co.'S shipyards yester-
day in the presence of an enthusias-
tic crowd. Gov. Savage, of Nebraska,
and Gov. Mcbride, of Washington,
were presel.t.
The presentation by the Moran
Bros. Co. to Gov. Savage of a small
piece of steel, the material punched
from the first hole in the first piece
of st -el shaped to become a part of
the keel of the battleship, was a
feature.
Then a section of the battleship
Nebraska was swung into position by
the great cranes. A heated rivet was
placed in position, and the governors
of the two states removed their coats
and by alternate strokes fattened the
rivet into position.
When this task had been completed
amid the enthusiastic cheers OF the
crowd and the firing of guns, a rep
resentative of the company appeared
on the scene and proceeded to pay off
the distinguished workmen for their
work. TO each of the governors he
gave a check for three cents.

UNPROFITkBLE JOB.
Robbers Hold Up Train on tho
Rock Islanh KOnd.

Chicago, July with half a hun
dred men on their trail and the prom
Ise of desperate battle and probably
death for their portion if they shall
be overtaken, the two bandits who
halted the Rock Island railroad ;
Denver limited express train near
Joliet at midnight Thursday and
escaped after mortally wounding one
OF the express messengers, are still
at large. All during the night and
through yesterday they pushed on
through the farming country, steal
ing buggy or wagon here and
there, and abandoning the teams
when they we're too exhausted to car
ry them farther.
Farmers and residents in the title
towns in the vicinity of the scene of
the raid swept over the surrounding
fields and prairies in the hunt, but
never u glimpse was had of the fugi-
tives. Occasionally a ruJnor of their
whereabouts was obtained, but the
utmost haste in organizing a pursuit
failed to overhaul them.
James Kahn, the veteran express
messenger, who was snot down by
Int EbDbtIS NHllc he SloOt "lln MS
hands elevated above his head. was
brought to Chicago, and it is believed
he will recover.
The attempt upon the strong boxes
Of the United States Express Co. that
were iourneying toward Omaha and
Denver is admitted to have been one
of the best planned raids of recei.t
years, but it was poorly executed, and
the bandits tried to carry out the pro-
gram without sufficient force to pro-
tect themselves from an attack.
The detectives engaged in the in
vestigation and the pursuit now be-
ing pushed all over Illinois, are salts
fed that the 0bbers hoped to force
the big safe, which contained some
where in the neighborhood of 100000,
and only the precipitate shooting of
the messenger defeated them in this
project. When they fled they carried
with them several packages of cheap
jawelry, valued at about $500, and a
quantity of catalogues and patent
medicine bottles, which they appar-
emily thought were bundles of valu-
aDleS.
