A queer state of affairs exists in Woods
county, according to a pipe dream reporter
Of the Carmen (okla.) Headlight. At a
trial recently before the probate judge In
Alva a lawyer drew a gun and was pre-
vented from killing a witness by the by,
ISLANDERS and the court never said a word.
The sheriff OF that county goes around,
and when he finds a man that carries e
gun tries him himself and fines him $50. A
man who was once arrested on a false
charge in hat county and thrown into Jail
was drugged and robbed, and the attorneys
in the district court offered to have Judge
McAtee-then judge-poisoned for s175. The
story of the sick negro being held up by
six prominent residents Of that town who
wore masks and robbed him of $11s. and the
disappearance of Milt Thomas, a deputy
marshal, who was undoubtedly murdered
to throttle damaging evidence, eyinces the
fact that around an educational institution
like the Alva Normal there are men who
have noble brows, but the spirit Of Cain
Is deep in their hearts.

Cause for Divorce.

In south Dakota divorce may be obtained
because OF inhdelity, wilful desertion. will
full neglect. habitual intemperance. con-
viction Of a felony, OF extreme cruelty, the
last named to consist OF such actions as
infict grievious bodily injury or g~revious
mental suffering. In Nebraska, II the Judge
be so disposed, he may grant divorce on
the same ground and consider extreme
cruelty committed when there has been
only the application of approbious epithets.
To many these would seem sufficient
grounds, but the avowed purpose Of the
American Bar association is to secure uni
formity OF divorce legislation and the
Nebraska association takes a long stride in
this direction by it's first recommendation
quoted above, that divorce be granted here
only for cause sufficient in the state where
such cause arose. This will be a hard
blow TO New Workers, many of whom have
secured divorces here during the last two
| years, for in New York the only ground
for absolute divorce is inhdel,ty.
Many approve the course OF the Bar as

proceedings should be regulated by con-

In a Fair was to LEARN.

Among the many truth seekers, the Mass
aehusetts Institute Of Technology seems TO
be in a fair way toward knowing tho
nswer and as like as not will be the
first TO come to definite conclusions upon
the matter. BY what has already been
found out in different Investigations from
time to time, all mechanical scientists
agree that the metals with which we build
and on which we imopse such heavy strains
have the same disadvantage Of gradually
firing out and finally giving way as the
perishable muscles and sinews Of our
own human bodies. Such is the common
hypothesis on which all the experiments
may begin; but as to now soon, and in what
conditions, and under how great a burden
this gradual firing out takes place-that Us
what we must know in order to prevent
accidents.
The experiments at the Institute OF Tech
nology in the strength OF materials were
begun by Prof. Gaetano LAMA, who Is
now in charge Of the mechanical engi-
neering department, more than twenty
years ago. What was done before then
was worked out on a small scale, the theory
being tina IL a piece Of wood two inches
square showed certain effects from a given
test, another piece two feet square, for ex,
ample, would show similar effects In a pro-
portionate degree. Prof. Lama pointed
out that such differences were likely to be

and the judge of the court then imposed
upon her a fine of $50 for carrying a pistol,

and presented 1t to her, and she departed

same conditions in the laboratory as
actually occurs In practice, II runs ma
chimes for no other purpose than to de-
liberately break things, while the students
and instructors keep tabs on the re-
suits. Finally, after a long series Of ex-
periments. the rules governing these break
ages will appear. II a shaft of a certain
diameter, subjected TO a given strain,
breaks after so many turns, and one OF
twice the size under the same strain after
so many more. and so on for different sizes
and different strains, then, ultimately, a
competent surveyor on discovering that a
vessels machinery was out OF proper line,
could, by measurements and calculations,
establish the possibility Of accident and
either condemn suspected parts before their
breaking time arrived. OF at least see TO
II that they were thoroughly and aecur-
ately tested. The same rules could be ap-
piled to the shafting Of elevator machin-
