WEST LOST TO eRYANIsM.
Republicans This Year Carried Every
Western State But Nevada.

River Press: While Mr.. Bryan was
not a direct issue in the recent politi-
cal campaign, the election returns
show that the party of which he is
the leader has been steadily losing
ground in the states that were form
erly the principal supporters of the
peerless" from Nebraska. In all the
western states that were carried by
Mr.. Bryan in 1896 and 1900, the Re-
publican party was victorious in the
recent election-with the one excep-
ton of Nevada.
In Montana, for instance, Mr.. Bryan
had the big majority of 3z.043 in 1896,
and four years later he was given a
majority of 11.773. This year, the Re-
publican candidate for representative
in congress has carried the state by
an estimated majority of 5000 or
more.
In Colorado, where Organism APP
pears to have haL its greatest strength
a similar result is reported. In 1896
Bryan carried Colorado by a major
ity of nearly 1876, 900, and in the cleo
tion of 1900 he vas $4,000 votes ahead
of the political opposition. This year
the Republican ticket won out in the
Centennial state.
The reputation of Organism in Ne
braska is also significant. In 1896
Mr.. Bryan carried his home state by
a majority of 1856. but in 1898 the
Democratic advantage was reduced to
2. ZOO. Two years later. and also at
the recent election. Nebraska went
Republican.
Having lost the western states. up
on which his hope of election was
based, Mr.. Bryan may be numbered
among the political dead.

From Notes and Queries.


Eleonore Prechaska, born March H.
1855, at Potsdam, was the daughter OF
a sergeant. After being brought up IN
the military orphanage of that town.
she became a cook in some citizens
house. When the great war against
Napoleon broke out in 1918 she was lea
away by enthusiasm to quit her town
secretly; by selling her poor belongings
she procured mael attire and weapons
and enlisted under the name of August
REM in the Lutzow Corps. On account
of her tall, slender figure her sex was
not discovered until she was mortaily
wounded. This happened in the en-
counter in the Gohrde Forest, Reggie
rungsbezirk Luneburg. Kreis Damien
berg Sept. 16, 1873. The Prusslans
were there attempting to storm hill
occupied by the French, she acting as
a drummer. In 1868 a monument IN
memory of her was erected in the
churchyard at Dannenberg, and an
other in 1889 in the old churchyard OF
Potsdam. When a boy, 1 often saw
cheap illustrations representing her'
and my mother told me about her.

USEFUL COAL TAR.
Many VnIuabIes From a Once-De.
spised Waste.
F. Francis Hicks, in Success.

F. Francis Hicks, in Success.
Even more wonderful than the cot.
ton industry is the utilization of coal
tar. Only short while ago this iron.
blesome by-product of gas making was
considered a nuisance. The effort to get
rid of it has grown into an industry
which employs more scientific men in
its development than any other.
description of all the products of coal
tar would be a review of the greater
part of the organic chemistry of to-
day. Coal tar was first distilled in Eng.
land eighty years ago, but it was not
until 1856, the date of the discovery Of
the first aniline colors, that the indus
try became an important one. Now the
value of the by-products of gas-mak-
ing-tar, coke and ammonia-greatly
exceeds that of the coal burned in the
gas works. The distillation of the tar
gives a series of products, each of
which serves as starting point for
a long series of valuable articles Of
everyday use.
In the United States the tar is us.
ually distilled into light oil, heavy oil
and pitch. The pitch remaining in the
still is known as soft pitch, and is
used in roofing and paving. Formerly
it was customary to turn this sub
stance to hard pitch, which was sent
abroad to be used in the making of
compressed fuel; the anthracene oil
obtained by this distillation was sent
to England to be used in making alar-
izin. But it does not pay to make
anthracene in America now An
American has patented a method of
making an artificial asphalt from the
pitch, and it seems not improbable
that the asphalt industry will be rev.
olutionized by this process.
Creosote oil is a coal-tar product
which, owing to it's extensive use in
creosoting lumber, is coming into great
demand. OF the refined products
benzine is one of the most common
The presence of twenty times as much
benzine in the coal gas as there is in
the tar has led to the introduction Of
a process for removing the benzine
from the gas. Toluene, used in max
ing artificial indigo, is also obtained
by this process. Naphthaline is an
other coal-tar element produced on
large scale. 1t is used as a substi-
tute for camphor in destroying moths
Another product is crystal carbolic
acid, or phenol, the chief use of which
is in the manufacture of picric and
salicyclic acid. Nitro benzine, nitroto-
luene, and other nitro compounds from
coal tar are used III making colors and
explosives. Rectified nitro benzne
known as oil of myrbane, is used in
the manufacture of soaps and oils
Aniline oil is made in great quantities
abroad, and European competition in
aniline colors is very keen. The long
list of coal-tar products, including per-
fumes, indictments, antiseptics, AMI
line dyes, etc, is a remarkable Illus
tration of what can be done in the
utilization of a waste product.

Lore.
For more than a millennium Eng
land has been Christian nation, yet
in the museum at Oxford we see I'M
ages, bristling with rusty nails ana
needles, which demonstrate the late
survival of a belief in sympathetic
magic in the rural communities whence
these objects came. Within the Unlver-

men of a familiar vegetable which an
officer of one of the colleges had car

Of this progressive age have exter-
minated such beliefs. They even ADAPT
themselves to the new conditions, as

From the London Mail.
Brierre, the Corancez murderer, has
been numbered 2,91S. He will be known
by this number for the remainder of
his life.-Le Temps
With a flow of foul-mouthed insults
a dozen gendarmes hustle the convicts
into the train which is waiting for
them in the little station.
The sun is just rising, and in the
gray of early morning the air strikes
cold. From Fresnes, where they have
been for several days, the little gang
of convicted criminals, eight in all, is
to be taken to st. Martin de Re.
Each man is hustled into a narrow
wooden cell in the train, and manacled
both hand and foot. His handcuffed
wrists are chained to two guards who
sit, one on each side of him, upon the
narrow wooden bench, and the letters
around his ankles are riveted to the
flooring of the car.
For four and twenty hours the train
with it's freight of human misery
steams slowly across France, stopping
sometimes for hours at waysde sta
tions, where now and then small
crowds assemble underneath the win
dows to mock the prisoners, and yell
"A Mort!" at them.
Although the train is slightly
warmed the little cells in which the
convicts sit upright (their manacles
prevent them from moving their posi-
tom are icy cold, and when at length
the train arrives at La Rochelle the
wretched men are stiff and far too
cramped to move, and have to be car
ried to the van which is in waiting for
them.
They are still men, however.
Two hours later, after short drive
to the landing stage, and a short sea
trip across to st. Martin de Re, they
are merely numbers, waiting for the
convict ship the st. Nazaire, which is
to take them to the penal settlement

It will assist the compiler of the sporting news, will benefit the public and will be much more satisfactory 10 those directly connected with sports if this matter Is given attention. There are many sporting features which are sometimes neglected because it is i'm. possible to watch out for them all but if the people who are interested in those features will send them in they will be carefully attended to.
