SCIENCE BEATS NATURE.
implements of Present-Dny LabOra-
tory Make the Human Organs
Seem Gross.

The eye and the ear have long teen
regarded as marvels of mechanism,
quite the most wonderful thing in the
world. But compared with the imple-
ments of present day laboratory, the
sensitiveness of all human organs
seems gross enough, says Harpers
Magazine. A Photographic plate,
coupled with telescope, will reveal
the presence of millions of stars whose
light does not affect the retina in the
least. The microscope, too, with its
revelations of the world of the infinite
ly small, tells MS how crude. after all,
is this most delicate of the senses. In
deed. we may liken it to a piano, where
only single octave toward the middle
sounds. From the ultra violet to the
lowest reaches of the spectrum is a
range of some nine octaves of like Vi
brations, of which, save for our new
mechanical sense, we should never have
been conscious of but one.
The ear hears little of what is going
on around us. BY means of a micro
phone the tread of fly sounds like the
tramp of cavalry. Our heat sense is
very vague; we need variation of at
least one-fifth of degree on a ther-
mometer to realize any difference in
temperature. Prof. Langley's little
bolometer will note the difference of
millionth of a degree. 1t is 100000
times as sensitive as our skin.

CLIFF-DwELLERS' TOWER.
Interesting Relic of the Strange Peo-
pie That Was Built on "a Noun
tain Point.

Nothing in this country 30 fascinates
the explorer and archaeologist as the
ruins of the cliff dwellers in New Mex
leo. Many of these remarkable ruins
are situated in the vast Mancos cam
yon, within a days ride of Durango,
Col, on the Rio Grande Southern rail-
way, says the New York Herald.
Perched 700 feet above the valley, on
n ledge of the mountain, stands two
story house, made of finely cut sand
stone, each block about IA by inches,
accurately fitted and set in mortar,
now harder than the stone itself. The
floor is the ledge of the rock and the
roof the overhanging cliff. There are
three rooms on the ground floor, each
one six by nine feet with partition
walls of faced stone. Traces of a floor
which once separated the upper from
the lower story still remain. Each of
the stories is six feet in height, and
all the rooms are plastered and paint
ed a dull brick red, with white band
along the floor.
Near this house, on lofty hill, ris-
ing 500 feet above the valley, stands
the ruined fortified watch tower,
which plainly demonstrates that the
strange people who in ages remote
built these houses were prepared to
resist assault. Traditions are few
concerning this lost race and history
throws no light on the subject.

Appealed Suit For 81. 80.

The justice ofthe peace out at Moran
has had q case on his docket for
months which consisted of a lawsuit
for $3.50. II. E. Bray sued @. c..
Smock, the liveryman, for that sum
claiming it to be balance due on an
account of SO. 80 for labor. The case
was set for hearing several times and
finally tried, after the Judge refused to
grant change of venue to LaHarpe.
Judgment was given for $1.2O. Now
the suit has been filed in district court
on an appeal. Costs already amount
to many times more than the original
amount and district court will multi.
ply them faster than a Belgian hare
increases its progeny.
Dear and stiff-necked is this Ameri
can liberty.

NOT SO ABSENT-MINDED.
British Soldiers In south Africa
Saved $0,OOO,O 900 for the Folks
at Home,

The post Office is throwing some
side lights upon the character of the
British soldier which will be read
with interest. 1t appears that Tommy
is not such an absent-minded beg
gar as he is made out to be. Tommy
himself has always resented the SOU
briquet, and the fact that he has
sent a million of money home from
the Cape in postal orders during the
past year is a colossal testimony to
his thrift and thoughtfulness Of
home needs, says the London Ex-
press.
This usefuf public service has
section with every column for tel
egraphic and postal work, and not
only do they get letters safely
through Boer-ridden territory, but
they manage to preserve government
stock from capture with great skill
and foresight. OF course some postal
dispatches have fallen into the en-
emy's hands, but the check upon be-
lated mail bags is so keen that the
misuse of postal orders is rare.
Mail running from columns off
the railway is a dangerous game, and
the army post Office man requires
not only to be an efficient postal
servant, but a strategist, in so much
as to know when not to send. Sew
eral deaths have occurred in the de-
fense of the mail bags, so that he
has to be a combatant at times.

Making Cement Cisterns.

lola is interested in anything that is
good and furthermore she is interest
ed in anything that can be made of
lola raw material. So this tale from
the Burlington Jeffersonian of new
use for cement is of local interest and
should, possibly, result in a home
concern to make cement cisterns, bet
ter and cheaper than anywhere else
The Jeffersonan says:
1.-THE Burlington Cement Paving
company has invented form for a
cement cistern which promises to be a
great success financially and as a
cistern.
1.-THE cistern will be jug shape and
will hold about eighty barrels. The
hole is dug as for any ordinary cis-
tern and then wo: den frame Is set in
and the cement is nodded to the de-
sired shape. The wooden frame is
very complicated thing and has re-
quired much work and time to pre-
pare. The building of the frame work
has been very expensive but it is ex-
pected that the completed cisterns can
be put in at price to compete with
brick. The brick cisterns are not en-
tirely satisfactory and people have
been looking for substitute. 1t is
thought this cement cistern will answer
all requirements.
"While at the meeting of the
lumbermen's association Mr.. Cogs-
hall told of the cistern and the MEM
bers of the association we're very much
interested in it. There is a great de-
mand for practical cistern and II the
Burlington Cement Paving company
has formed one that will do the work
Mr.. Cogshall and Mr.. Fisher deserve
great credit" t c...

ALABAMA RACE WAR
The Negroes and Whites Do Battle
Near Jasper.

Jasper, Ala, March .-1nforma-
tion has just been received here of a
race riot twelve miles east of Jasper
late this afternoon. One hundred and
fifty shots are reported to have been
exchanged, but the casualties cannot
be ascertained a. this hour, A farmer
named Murray came in about7 o'clock
for ammunition, and has returned.
Sheriff Moore has asked Governor
Jelks to call out the local militia COM
pany and the men are now getting
ready to respond to the call which is
momentarily expected.
The trouble has been brewing for
some time and is the outgrowth OF Bit
ter radical feeling which was further
accentuated by white men whipping
two negroes on the chargeof stealing.
Up to IL o'clock tonight nothing
further had been heard from the seat
of trouble in the eastern part of the
county. Sheriff Moore has received a
telegram from Governor Jelks au.
thorizing him to call out the local
militia whenever he thinks it neces-
sary. Captain Bankhead . had also
been instructed by the governor to
respond to the cali of the sheriff.
The seat'of the trouble is at negro
colony about twelve miles east of here,
on Warrior river. The negroes have
organized and armed themselves and
are prepared to make stubborn re-
sistance.

THE LOTTERY IN ITALY.
An InstitutiOn Under Control of the
Government That Works Injury
to the People.

One of the curses of modern Italy
is the lottery. An English traveller,
according to the Philadelphia Satur-
day Evening Post, thus describes the
hold that this institution has on the
people:
saturday in all the principal
towns of Italy is a lottery-day. The
lotteries are instituted by the gov
ernment, which draws considerable
revenue from them. All Italians
without exception, take part in them,
and their greatest anxiety is to
choose lucky number. In south
ern Italy the lottery has practically
become necessity. People talk of
it all the week, consult monks, priests
and certain individuals who have the
reputation of being able to forecast
the winning numbers. In Naples if
a man has no money for a ticket he
will even sell his bed to get one.
Not content with all kinds of other
expeditions, Neapolitan women of
certain rank on the eve of the
lottery go in crowds to the ceme-
terry. There the spectacle is most
weird. Disheveled women throng the
avenues of the cemetery, calling on
the dead to tell them lucky numbers.
They light candles and place other
offerings on the tombs of those
whom they think could bring them
good luck"

Arab SWALLOWED HI. Fortune.

The Petit Partisan gives an ac-
count of a remarkable operation per-
formed on an Arab. The unfortu-
nate son of the desert, frightened at
the approach of evil-eyed strangers,
swallowed his fortune of 107 francs,
consisting of five-franc and two
franc pieces, As it would have en-
dangered his life to leave this money
in it's novel security vault, he was
operated upon, and after much
search 1o5 francs so centimes were
recovered. The patient was 63 years
Of age.

ArbOr Day Proclamati0 III.

Governor Stanley Tuesday issued
his annual proclamation, naming
Friday, April 4, as Arbor day, and
urging a general observance of it. In
the past few years the day has not
been. observed as generally as many
have wished, and it is probable that
an: especial effort will be made this
year to interest the schools of the state
in the work of planting trees on the
day mentioned. Following is Gov
ernor Stanley's proclamation:
"To the people of Kansas"
"The great forests of this country
are being rapidly destroyed. More
than rs, 900 acres of trees are cut down
in the United States and made into
lumber, furniture, railroad ties and
other commodities every twenty-four
hours. In the Judgment of those
protesting to know, this great destruc-
tion of our forests threatens unfertility
in all parts of the Union. 1t is urged
that general tree planting in the
western states will affect climatic con-
ditions.
"The danger attending this great
destruction of trees is rendering tree
planting more and more a necessity.
If tree planting was generally encour-
aged in the schools and homes, and
more generally practiced in Kansas,
we could soon make it great forest
state.
81 most earnestly urge that there be
such general observance OF Arbor
Day as to make the present year men,
orable in Kansas, and request that
teachers in our universities, colleges
plant, protect and cultivate at least
one tree, that the mayor and council
men of the cities make special pro-
vision for the planting of trees, shrubs
and vines npon public and private
property, that every church secure the
planting of shade and ornamental
trees about its property, and that
every farmer set apart this day to en-
large his groves and orchards. s
''The beautiful shaded avenues OF
many of the cities of Kansas attest the
wisdom OF the early settlers in giving
special attention to this feature of city
adornment.
"That there may be concerted effort
in this direction, l hereby designate
FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 1902,
as Arbor Day, and earnestly request
that upon that day the lcitizens of the
state unite in the planting of trees il
all of the parks, groves, streets ant
upon all of the farms and city prop
erty, and that the state may be boil
benefited and beautified.
"In testimony whereof, l have here
unto subscribed my name and cause,
to be affixed the Great Seal iof tn
State of Kansas. Done at the Stat
Capitol in the City of Topeka, thi
25th day of March, A. D., 1902.

No Galena Ore For lola

This weeks issue of the Lead g.
Zinc News says: IS a.. 81 lc'
''Ill feeling between the Frisco and
Missouri Pacific is developing a situ-
ation affecting the ore producers, ac-
'cordingto reports from the Galena
side of the district. IA Adcordingto this
story the Frisco road has notified the
Missouri Pacific that hereafter il will
refuse to handle the latier's. equip
ment loaded with ore at Galena, The
Missouri Pacific has no track, into
Galena, but for several years has
been hauling ore from the camp to
lola and Gas City by sending its cars
over with the Frisco freight trains.
The cars we're generally used by the
Lanyon Zinc Company. Ore Buyer
Starr was notified last week that he
must unload a Missouri Pacific car
already partly loaded, as the Frisco
company refused to haul it. If this
position is maintained the Lanyon
Zinc Company will be forced to aban-
don the Galeua camp as the Frisco
does not run TO lola. 1t is asserted
that the Frisco is desirous OF handling
the Galena ore business itself, which
would mean THAT the output of the
