One Of the peculiar features of the
hot wave period is that norwithstand-
ing the cloudIess nights ordinarily fay-
orable for radiation the air retains
its heat in a manner that seems little
short of remarkable. For some rea-
son the normal radiation is greatly i'm
peded and almost totally suspended
The cause of this cessation of normal
action has not been determined
though Professor Very suggests that
it is brought about by the gradual ac-
cumulation of water vapor in the air
which, though not sufficient to form
clouds, is of such a nature as to trans
NIT the rays of the sun with greater
readiness than the reflected rays from
the earth. This has the effect of &C
cumulating the heat in the lower stra-
ia, causing the night temperature to
be unseasonably high.

had the courage to cut loose from
the foolishness which threatened
to engulf the republican party of
the west in what is known as the
"Iowa Idea" of tariff revision,
which was nothing more nor less
than stepping towards free trade.
Senator Nelson is a protective
tariff man and an old fashioned
sort of republican, and is not
afraid, nor has he ever been
afraid in Minnesota politics, to
take and keep that attitude upon
the hustings.

SENATOR NELSON
Will Deliver an Address at the
Bemidji Opera House
. Tonight.

The senior senator of the State
of Minnesota will be in Bemidji
this evening, and will deliver an
address upon the issues of the
campaign. For twenty-five years
Senator Nelson has been a
familiar figure in the politics of
Minnesota, always occupying a
conspicuous place in the minds
of the people in his district or OF
the state. His plain common
sense has, been his superior at
tractive quality, and has made
him dearer to the people OF the
state than any other one man.
His oratory is not of the fiery or
famboyant school, but is made
up of what the good mothers
would call 'sHeart to Heart Talk"
mainly in short words that all
men can understand, and in plain
statements of common political
principles, historical facts and
governmental statements which
make the way plain for the hear

Mechanical Stocking.

This invention is not in any
sense a new. one, as is to be
|learned from the fact that James
Watt took out patent in 1885
for such Il device. The mechan-
ical stoker is of English origin,
though it has been very thor
oughly developed in the United
States to suit the local fuel and
boiler furnace conditions. It
may be defined as a system Of
CRATE bars, coal feeders, and au-
tomato devices to feed fuel and
control it's combustion. AS fuel
for the human furnace, golden
grain belt beer is excellent. 1t

IN MANDALAY.

Mandalay has its own sky, soft and
 gray and incurving like a tent, with white cloud-lines that seem meant for scrolls if one could read. It is the Very Sacred City, the city of contemplation. the city of all the monks, A thousand pagoda bells give tongue to the wind
 there when the sun goes down;
 crumblng thousand more give up to
 time the testimony of outworn things. It lies in a curved arm of blue hills, and something broods over it with solicit tude, This you suspect from the air
 of the place and the way the shrill talk
 of the parrots and the complaint of the
 goats and the laughter of the people
 come to you wherever you are sitting.
 AfterWard you go out, as 1 did that
 morning with the commissioner, and see
 under the very zenith where the low
 gray sky is caught up, the square of the
 dark-red crenellated walls of the old
 royal city, three miles each way, and
 outside the walls the parallel clear
 moat thinking back at the sky; and
 then you are sure that over and above
 the Government of India some spirit is
 in possession, some spirit that bends in
 aTeCJlOn over HIllSHeu ana fGrE0Lten
 things. Seven-roofed kioslSs stand at
 intervals over the gates in the wall they are called pyathat, but they strike
 the eye like peaceful conclusions-and low, white stone bridges raised in the middle span the moat. The buttresses of the gates are painted deep gray and white, and the bank that slants sleeply from the wall to the water has here and there a low, twisted, spreading tree on it, purely for decoration. You may stop at corner and look two ways along the ref1eeting water with bridge after bridge receding across, and py- athat after pyathat diminishing above, and each red and gray and white vista so picked out and finished under the quiet light, slipping adorably into the near blue of the hills. Mandalay seem ed aware with bunting and arches of | welcome everywhere and crowds flock , ing-aware and almost awake; but you l looked again and saw that she only 1 turned in her sleep and smiled, as at a | "In Burma with the | viceroy," by Mrs Everard Cotes, in the July Scribner's.

and without button or feather. The
