Solid Air Is Elastic.

While it is well known that air
can be made solid as we'll as liquid,
up to the present comparatively few
experiments have been made in this
direction. @.." .
A scientist recently converted a
certain quantity of liquid air into
a small solid mass and on examin-
ing it found that it was as transpar-
ent as clear ice and as elastic as
rubber. To test it's elasticity he
struck it with a hammer, and the
latter Immediately rebounded.
That solid air may prove to be of
commercial value is the opinion of
some scientists in Germany, but it
is admitted that many more expert
ments will have to be made before
any certainty on this point can be
arrived at. v..

THE MISSOURI RIVER.

It is reported that the United
States; government is goirS to aban-
don it's efforts to make and keep the
Missouri river navigable. The riv-
er runs through deep alluvial soil
and is constantly gnawing away its
banks and shifting it's channel.
Millions have been spent in an at
tempt to keep it free from snags,
but the erosion Of the banks causes
great trees to keep falling into it.
Acres of land have been swept away
and deposited elsewhere. In one
place tract of 1900 acres was
transferred in a single night from
Iowa to Nebraska by a change in
the course of the river. An island
which the government wanted, but
Of which squatter held possession,
was reduced by the action Of the
river during the controversy to the
three acres where the squatter was
"holding the fort" Then the gov
eminent no longer desired the is
land, leaving the squatter in full
possession. The river Immediately
began piling up land until the
squatter had 1870 acres and was
worth $250,000.-New York Trib-

An Inland Seaport.

A writer in the St. Louis Mirror
calls attention to Houston, Tex, as
a probable inland seaport where it
is predicted that one Of the great
maritime cities of the world will be
eventually located. Houston is fifty
miles inland as the crow flies. It is
reached by Buffalo bayou, which
winds it's way tortuously for seven
ty-fve miles. The biggest ocean
vessels find sufficient water for their
purposes to within a very few miles
Of the Magnolia City, and the gov
eminent has undertaken to deepen
the channel all the way to Houston.

Artificial Marble.

A new process for the manufac-

patented in Berlin. Asbestus, dye

pounded into stiff mass and then
subjected to high pressure. The

tough, not brittle, is very easily
worked by means Of tools, can be
given a fine polish and in appear

TRIBUTES TO M'KINLEY.
First Anniversary Of the Late Pres
ident's Death Is Generally
Observed.

Canton, o., Sept. l5.-There was a
general observance here Of the first
anniversary of the death of William
Mckinley. Roman Catholic and
Protestant clergy in their morning
and evening services paid tribute to
the man they knew and loved so well.
The principal addresses Of the day
were delivered by Dr. Josinh Hart
Zell. a lifelong friend and neighbor Of
Mckinley, and Judge William Il, Day,
former secretary Of state.
Mrs. Mckinley, accompanied by
Mrs. Garrett A. Hobart. of Paterson,
N. j., visited the Mckinley vault Sum
day forenoon. They placed fresh
floral offerings in the casket and for
of the martyred president. Mrs. Nc
Kinley spoke of the sad event of one
year ago, but no more so than has
been her custom to speak every day.
She again feelingly referred to the
tribute of the nation that is being
paid to the memory of her late hus-
band, but she had no statement to
make to the public. 5e.a
During the day visitors to the Nc
Kinley tomb were numerous. The
soldiers on on duty kept the guard
line and prevented numerous relic
hunters from doing damage to foil
age and decorations.
Dispatches from all parts of the
country bear mute but eloquent evil
dence of the regard with which the
late President Mckinley is still held
in the hearts of his countrymen, and
the sincerity and spontaniety of the
tribute rendered to his memory on
the first anniversary of his death.
No town was too small, no city was
too big and busy, no cross roads was
too isolated to collect it's group or
crowd of men and women of almost
every nationality, race and religion,
at the memorial services held in thou
sands of churches and schoolhouses
Everywhere the theme was the same,
the strength and purity of the dead
presidents character, his patriotism
and the tenderness of his domestic
life. A pretty feature that was
adopted by many of the citizens was
the wearing of a pink carna ton in
memory of the martyred president.
