Burns From a Cold Substance.

That man can sustain serious
burns from a small quantity OF cold
mineral substance carried IN his
pocket seems almost too absurd for
belief, yet there is no doubt that
this paradoxical accident has taken
place. 1t is now we'll known that
Roentgen rays, if sufficiently in
tense and in sufficiently long dura-
ton, exercise destructive action
upon the skin, which peels off. and
leaves an open sore that is slow to
heSi The similar rays given out by
certain minerals and called Bee
queral; rays, after their discoverer,
now appear to be capable at very
short range of inficting burns
also. It has been announced that
the invisible rays emitted by radi-
um, one of these substances, have
an especially active effect upon the
human skin.-Literary Digest.

tains. Blae sky itself lat the
ultimate fading out Of haze, AMI
when whole lower layers of the at
,mosphere are surmountcd the blue
above is bier than before Only By
reason Of the haze there being more
attenuated The result Of investi-
cations carried out chiefly by ll.3il
flying kites goes to show that,
though at GREAT heights tie air may
be spoken Of as dry, this is blt
relative term. Commonly about
one-half Of the water vapor III the
air is left below by the time the
first mile and half is climbed, but
che actual moisture present varies
with circumstances. Thus up to
few thousand feet the air is drier
during winter and at night and
damper during summer and by day
than 1t is near the ground.
In the light Of these facts it be-
comes easy to conceive how in GER
tain conditions Of moist weather
and on dark night the light Of a
large town reflected in the heaven
may be seen even at long distance
Under the clear skies of other lands
reflection may he seen on the under
surface of cloud over great ranges.
Thus the cloud heaps over thunder
storms on the American prairies
may sometimes be seen at night on
the horizon at distance amounting
to some 200 miles.
Again, it will be easy to grasp
the further fact that haze in the ali
is more clearly manifested to the
observer who, whether in a balloon
or on a mountain side, has climbed
above its lower moister levels. Here
the explanation is simply that from
his new point Of view the haze is
seen against the dark earth while
being itself Illuminated by the light
from the sky above.-Gentleman's

The success and prosperity of the
people is measurably dependent upon
the success and ontinuance in power
of the Republican party. In this
state, and nationally, all conditions
point to an unprecedented epoch of
business activity.
This is largely due to the fact that
business men and people generally
have greater confidence in the poll
cies of the Republican party. Wher
business conditions are threatened
and affected by adverse legislation,
whether state or national, the Tend
ency or the part of those who have
investments 10 make, who plan to
expand and enlarge their establish
ments, is to draw in and contract
business. LaFolletism in theory
aud practice is based upon agitation.
It's strength rests upon exploiting
imaginary grievances and arraying
class against class. 1t seeks to
arouse the prejudices of the agricult-
ural classes by agitating them
against the Industrial and manufact-
uring interests. 1t specializes IN its
theories of reform by adopting
methods directed against particular
interests, without first ascer,aining
the justice or correctness Of the pos
ition.
LaFollettism profits from the dis
turbance it creates. It's DESTROYS,
but does rot create. It's effect upon
the cor tinued advancement of the
State is undrr the same influences
that characterize similar movements
In other states. Needed reform,
and changes in policy do not require
the clamer OF agitators to be en-
forced. Evils of taxataton and
CAPABILITIES of assessment will be
righted by conservative legislators
uninfuened by selfish considerations
or political ambitions Trace the
growth OF La FolleJtism and each
step can be marked by agitation on
the part of the men who have bone
fitted. Judged by noise it has been
success. Judged by results for
the benefit of the people tits fail

the players has been questioned, but
Kelly answers all argument by showing
the signed contracts. In a quite deter
mined way he announces that the men
signed by him will play with ST. Paul the
coming season or trouble will be started.
The list of players signed to contracts Is
as follows:

Kelly visited Richmond, Ind, before
coming to St. Paul and has made all ar
rangements for the spring training. He
has secured quarters for the team,
ball park and dates with strong amateur
teams in the vicinity. The Saints may
play several exhibition games with Gin
Cinnati before the season opens.
Manager Kelly is confident that from
the list of signed players he will be able
to start ST. Paul off in the race with
a team strong enough to be in the fight
at all times.

Admiral Does Not Think Colombia
Will Prevent Canal Sale.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S-Admiral
Walker was shown the cablegram from
Paris today regarding the action Of the
Panama Canal cimpany, in deciding not
to continue the negotiations for the sale
Of the canal to the United States. He
said he had received no advices on the
subject.
While the Colombian government,
through It's minister here, had agreed
to the sale Of the property to the Unit
ed States, that sale was contingent upon
an agreement between the United States
and Colombia.
The admiral was inclined to think that
the news from Paris was not such as to
interfere seriously with the purchase Of
the canal property, should this govern.
ment desire to acquire it.
The article Of the canal concession
which Colombia seeks to have set aside
reads as follows:
The grantees, or those who in the flu
ture may succeed them in their rights
may transfer these rights to other cap
italists or financial companies, but are
absolutely prohibited to cede or mort
gage them under whatever consideration
to any nation or foreign government.

StimmeI With the Saints

Yes, notice that they are trying to
start an argument about Stimmel but
Stlmmel signed to play with ST. Paul and
he has not signed to play with Gin
cinnatt. If Brush can show a contract
signed by Stimmel we will let him go
without word. 1 feel safe in making
this offer for l know Stimmel has not
signed with the Beds.
when Stimmel went to them last
season he did not sign a contract He
entered into an agreement with ~ atkins
and this agreement provided that if Gin
cinnati was not satisfied with his work
he would be returned to Indianapolis
Cincinnati was satisfied with his work
fer he was offered a contract. He re-
fused to sign this contract. He belongs
to st. Paul and St Paul will have him."
In the Stunned case Kelly will have
the support of President Lennon Len

longs to st. Paul and he insists that he
Will play here if he plays at all. The
magnates of the American association
meet at Chicago today to adopt the
playing schedule and it is more than
probable that the Stimmel case will
come up for discussion at this meeting

a hand in the debate. Lennon cannot

ms hearers that the remarks made were
utterly wide of the mark The best
course, he said was to adjourn until
explanations of Colombia's action were
forthcoming

telegram arrived at $50 last evening
The stockholders are quite at a loss to
explain 1t, as it was thought the Colon
blan and United States governments

The report submitted set forth that
arbitration had resulted in a satisfac-
tory solution whereby the new company
was to receive $4,000, 900 francs out OF the
2OI,OUO.OOO francs Of the purchase price,
and the old company was to take the
remainder.
Then, reviewing the negotiations with
the United States since the offer to sell
the canal property for $40, 600, the re-
port said:
1T now belongs to the senate to pro-
nounce on our propositions, which will
reach 1t supported by the favorable 18TH
mian report. We shall have to wait
some time yet for a solution. and have
been led to declare that our offer remains
open until March 4, 1903 The negotia-
tions pending between Colombia and the
United States, the duration of which is
uncertain, have rendered it impossible
