MILL DRIVEN BY HEAT OF HAND.

Some peoples hands are always
cold, but the average persons hands
is quite warm enough for this anus
ing little trick or experiment. AS you
probably know, the temperature OF
the human body in health is about 9S
degrees. Indeed, one cannot live
many days with a temperature more
than five degrees above or below that
point. You know how the heated air
rises over hot stove. and Eow it
may be made to turn little windmills.
1t rises in the same way over your
body, or even over a small part of it,
such as your hand. unless the air in
the room is already hotter than you
are-that is, hotter than 9S degrees
which happens only in Turkish bath
or very rarely in summer. OF course,
your hand being so much cooler as
we'll as so much smaller does not
produce such strong inward current
as the air in our furnace-heated rooms
is already heated up to 70 or 80 de-
grees one might think that your hand,
which is not so very much warmer
than the air, would not cause any cur
rent that you could detect. On the
contrary. you can detect It easily
enough if you have the proper ap'
paratus, and this you can make in a

FORTY YEARS AFTER.

Il suppose Col. D. r. Anthony is
still living in Leavenworth?" asked
New York man of the Kansan. The
Kansas man replied that the redoubt-
able colonel was still in the flesh,
and added:
He is about the last of the ia
nous men of his town and state. Talk
about strenuous lives; no man of this
new generation ever passed through
Of his confreres died, though not long
ago. He was, locally, quite as mucn
of character as the colonel and when
he died realized more than ever that

Donors Conception.

In making announcement OF Mr.
Pulitzers gift the World says:
Students purposing to enter upon
the career of journalism will find ac-
cessible here courses OF study that
will, for his profession be equivalent
10 what other professional schools
supply for other professions, while
young men already engaged upon the
newspapers and desiring to advance
themselves more rapidly by the cul-
tivation of their aptitude may find in
these courses a valuable assistance.
It is believed that this will be a1
advantage to them Immediately, and
ultimately to the press of the Whole
country. In every other pursuit
where men are under an equal moral
responsibility te be public for the
proper discharge of their duties they
are prepared for those duties by
wears of careful and cons scientious
study, but the newspaper men, VINO
are, in many directions, the inform
ers and teachers of the people, the ex-
pOnents and to degree the makers
of that public opinion which rules COM
munities and governs States and the
nation, have hitherto received no
special preparation for their dellcate
and important duties.
3o.Oe8 Journalists.
At the time of the last census there
were in the United States ll4,o7o
lawyers and 30,09S persons classed as
Journalists. The legal profession was
provided with trained recruits by l0o
law schools with !. JOG professors and
instructors. For fair proportion
there should have been at least
twenty-siX colleges of journalism, with
faculties 291 strong. There was not
one Not a single one of the 80 o9S
newspaper men and women IN the
country had enjoyed what lawyer
would call a system of fropesslona
training.
1t is hoped and believed that the
school of journalism will put this pro
fession upon a level with others II
supplying definite course for stu
dents and in affording the newspapers
an opportunity to recruit their stan
from men adequately prepared for the
duties of that service. In consider
ing a professional course for news
paper men the inquiry will obvlousl!
arise, what are the bases of this a
struction: what will you teach?

ton that the shooting was the result of

The evidence of the neighbors and the
police tended to show that Parsons had
nuarreled for over an hour with his wife
because of her purchase of two rugs from a
travelling salesman. Parsons and Mrs.
Golding who lives in the Parsons home,
said that he had only a few words with his
wife and that there was no quarrel and no
loud words passed between them.
one of the peculiar features of the affair
is the statement by Mrs. Golding to the
effect that although she is 4 very light
sleeper she was not awakened by the
shooting. and did not know anything about

knocked on her door and told her to get
up. that he had shot his wife.

Santa Fe Serves Notice That 1t
Will Deliver Cars to Certain
Roads Conditionally.
LACK OF TERMINAL FACILITIES.
Railway Officials Claim Congestion

Be Necessary.

Kansas City. Mo. July 22-The likelihood
OF a grain blockade just as the great wheat
crop of Kansas is ready TO move becane
more apparent to-day. when the Santa Fe
Railway Company served notice upon the
Board Of Trade OF this city that that road
would refuse to deliver freight cars 10 the
Missouri Pacific, Burlington Wabash and
Kansas City Southern railroads until those
roads can give sorae assurance that the
cars will be returned promptly.
This action was predicted yesterday when
the Missouri Pacific and Burlington an
nounced that they would refuse grain ship
ments consigned to Kansas City because OF
lack of terminal facilities. result Of the
flood damage. Kansas City grain men pre-
diet that the Santa Fe will refuse grain
shipments within day or two.
H. L. Nudge. general manager Of the
Santa Fe system, said to-day:
I'VE regret TO have TO refuse shipments,
but unless the other railroads and the ship
pers return our cars to us promptly we
will have to issue order refusing ship
ments until the congestion is relieved
