A German scientist says that IL a
marksman at noon on cloudless,
MINDLESS day sets his rifle so that it
will cover the bullseye of a target the
gun will in the same position the next
day, If 1t also happens to be cloudless
and MINDLESS, shoot high left" "The
bullseye is apparently attracted by the
position of the sun or of any other lu-
minous point" says the scientist, "and
apparently during the day follows the
course of the sun in a semicircular line
on the target"
This seemingly changed position of
an object under the changing influence
of light cannot, he thinks, be produced
by refraction nor by the changing
temperature of the air nor by chang
ing barometric pressure. The change
of position is instantly responsive to
the sun breaking through cloud. 1t
cannot be akin to mirage, because the
shooter would then have to lower his
gun at noon instead of elevating 1t as
he now does.

His unspoken Opinion.

Richard NJ. Hunt, the artist, honest
In his opinion and blunt in its express
sion, was appreciated by budding stu
dents. What he said in criticism some
times necessitated the destruction of a
picture, but the advice eventually was
profitable.
A lady called on Mr.. Hunt one day,
requesting him to select a frame suit
able for a sketch which a dear nephew
had painted. "a frame in harmony
with the thought suggested by the pic
ture," was desired.
Artist Hunt betook himself to the
woods. A few days after he called on
a picture dealer, saying that he wished
the sketch framed in the material he
had collected.
'Impossiblew exclaimed the picture
dealer. Cant frame the picture with
this stuff. It's rotten wood"
"You must" said Mr.. Hunt gruffly.
"This frame is to be in harmony with
the picture"

HOT WEATHER EDITORIALS.



There Is no mention Of crowns before
the eighth century after Christ. The
crown really did not become the head
covering of kings until the times Of the
Christian rulers after the might and
power of pagan Rome were broken.
Before those days the browning was
done with helmet This change in the
method of browning the rulers is typ
zeal of the changes that occurred in
the spirit that animated nations and
races In the selection of their kings.
The first kings and chiefs, after the
world had emerged from the patri-
archal forms of government, were Sc
lected almost altogether for their
prominence as leaders in war; Thus,
gradually, the chief of the army be-
came the chief of the nation. Almost
all the ancient kings We're military
despots. Then, with the prevalence of
Christianity and the overthrow of the
old governments, came the new rulers
who claimed to rule by divine right.
They, too, were almost all military
despots, especially in the beginning,
but the world had progressed far
enough to demand more proof of au-
thority to rule than mere brute power.

ATTORNEY GEN. MuLLAN.
lowa's Attorney General GIves An
Opinion on The Road LevIes.

Auditor Greenwaldt, seeing con-
fusion of opinion among some of our
people about the road tax levy made
this year, as provided in the new road
law, wrote Attorney Gen. Mullan for
an opinion on the subject, and re-
ceived from him a letter containing
the following: Under section 1910,
as amended by the Twenty-ninth Cen
eral Assembly, think the township
trustees must levy the property road
tax for the year 1903 as provided in
that section of the code before it was
amended. This tax is to be paid in
cash and to be collected and expended
during the year 1908. They must also
i'm 1903 levy the road tax for 1904,
which shall be certified to the county
auditor and entered upon the tax
books and collected by the county
treasurer as other taxes; that is, the
levies for 1903 and 1904 must both be
made in the spring of 1903, the first
lSN y w NC SollSSbSu anu CAPChtSuJ 90
provided by section 1910 of the Code,
during 1903; the other levy to be GER
titled, collected by the county treas
urer and be made available for the
year 1904.
l see no objection to both of these
leyies being made at the April, 1903,
meeting, and at the same time, and |
think this was the intent of the legisla-
ture in amending section 1910.
In reply to your questions submitted
| will answer-First. That it is the
duty of the township trustees at their
April, 1903, meeting to levy the road
tax for the year 1904.
Second. That it is their duty at
their April, 1903, meeting to levy the
road tax for the year 1903, which
shall be collected and expended as
provided by the Code before the
amendment made to chapter 2 of title
VIII by the Twenty-ninth General
Assembly.
Yours very truly,
CHAS. w. MULLAN.

SOIumon's HOrses.

By great many people Arabia is
supposed to be the home of the horse.
From ancient Roman, Grecian and
Jewish history we readily learn that
the horse was unknown in Arabia long
after he was a common factor in the
life of southern Europe. The horse
was scarcely known to the Hebrews
prior to the days of Solomon, that
worthy and illustrious sovereign hav-
ing been brought into closer contact
with the horse by his marriage to a
daughter of Pharaoh, the reigning king
of Egypt, whose gorgeous wedding out
fit was supplemented by large mum.
Der of elegant horses, adapted alike to
the service of war and the chase.
The appearance of those beautiful
animals as they sped swiftly along the
streets of Jerusalem excited the envy
of few jealous princes, but added to
Solomon's popularity with the masses.
After his marriage with the Egyptian
princess Solomon began buying horses
from his father-in-law, and so rapidly
did he multiply them by purchase and
breeding that those kept for his own
use required, as it is written, 1000
stables and 10000 stalls"

On. Of the only .eKers. PLAYS.

An ancient baseball fan tells this
story to illustrate the quickness and
thickness of Mike Kelly, the one time
king of the green diamond:
"a game between Boston and Wash
ington was played at Beantown. Char
lie Bennett was catching, and Mike
Kelly was sitting on the bench when a
foul which Bennett could not possibly
get goes up in the air toward the
bench, and Kelly. being captain, yells
to the umpire that he will put Bennett
out of the game, and at the same time
he puts on mitt with lightning speed
and catches the ball. He then tries to
make the umpire allow the catch, but
the umpire, after wrangling long
time with Kelly, decides the ball was
I'm play and Bennett could not be re-
moved from the game until the ball
had been caught by player in the
game so he ordered the batsman to
hit over. This was quick thought OF
Kelly, even IL II did not work"

Magnets are frequently made in the
form of a horseshoe or letter U, but a
horseshoe magnet is really nothing
more than bar magnet bent. AS both
poles will attract iron ii is apparently
twice as strong as when in the bar
form. A piece of iron laid across the
poles is attracted by both of them. In
this case the poles act on opposite ends
of the iron and do not destroy each
others effects, for each pole magnetizes
the portion of the iron opposite it. The
iron therefore becomes strong mag
net with its north pole touching the
south pole of the horseshoe magnet and
its south pole touching the north pole
This is popularity called keeper" be-
cause it "keeps," or preserves. the
strength of the magnet, which be-
comes much weaker when the keeper
is left off.-St Nicholas.

a ane.r Legend Of Tailed Men.

When a native Hollander wants to
show his hatred for an Englishman
he simply refers to him as a ''steert
man"-in other words, 1.-The man with
tail" The legend says that Thomas
a Beckett cursed the Kentish men who
spitefully cut off the tail of his horse
while he WAS riding the animal
through the country, and that the en-
tire generation of Kent which followed
wore tails like those of horses. John
Bale, Edward Wis bishop of Ossory,
mentions the legend, but gives some
variations as TO the cause of the ig-
noble punishment. He says John Cap
grave and Alexander of Esseby say
eth that ''for castynge fyshe tayles at
st. Augustine Dorsetshyre men had
tayles ever after that"
But Polydorus applies it to Kentish
men at Stroud, by Rochester, ''for cut
tinge off Thomas Becket's horses
tayle." One account says that only
those living in Kent at the time of
the curse were afflicted with large,
dropping tayles, like brutes; their pos
terity being not so affected"

The Blood as IA River.

The blood is a very river of human
life, its pulmonary and systematic cir
culations constituting an intricate net
work of canals, making the body sort
OF corporal Amsterdam or human Ven
ice, writes George Dana Boardman In
Ethics of the Body" Each corpuscle
is barge. moving with varying rates
of speed in different parts of the body,
toiling through the capillaries at the
rate of two inches a minute, rushing
through the arteries at the rate of from
twelve to twenty feet second, cease
lessly carrying on the organic functions
of the body by perpetually exchanging
freight, depositing at the depot of this
and that tissue oxygen and taking up
dioxide of carbon. What money is to
society that blood is to the body. 1t is
the means of exchange or the circulat-
ing medium.

neine Restored to Caste.

A Fyzabad Hindoo was restored to
his caste by the following process of
qualification" He lost caste eating
cooked food in a railway carriage, in
which persons of another caste were
travelling. He had to pay his own
weight first in rice, the value reaching
$50 rupees, and then in wheat. After
being twice weighed in this way he
was made to sit on a square stone
while his body was covered with ma
nure, the face only excepted. He was
then taken up by two men and throw
into the river, and after a bath was
received by the Brahmans, fully re-
stored to caste fellowship.

The Mattress.

Some one has been hunting up the
history of the mattress. Its beginning
was the collection of rags, husks or
reeds which were bound together and
thrown down anywhere to form rest
Ing place for the kinds and serfs of the
rich. 1t is suggested that their names
of shakedown and makeshift were de-
rived originally from the Arabic
word ''matrah." In the middle ages
feather beds found favor with the
wealthy and the mattress was not used
by them. Inventories of estates owned
by the American colonists show that
mattresses We're then worth 500 each,
being made Of hair. In England mat
tresses of rabbits fur were once used
and vegetable fibers of various kinds
have served their turn.

Decline of the Essay.

Why do we no longerSsind in these
magazines the long essays that were
the backbone of the old style period
icals? Is ii because there are nova
days no men who like to and are able
to take their pens in hand and ramble
on and on aimlessly over hill and dale,
with many a leisurely pause and occa-
sional airy flights? Is it because the
editors can find no writer's who are
surcharged with views on all sorts of
abstract subjects and could be moved
to impart those views at length to the
readers of magazines? Certainly not.
Almost every man who writes at all
would like to write essays-long es-
says. But the wise editors won't have
them any more, because the people
won't read them and won't even take
magazines that get the reputation Of
harboring them. If an editor Graves
a small circulation in this day let him
gather the essayists about him and
freely turn them loose upon his pages.
Success.

one of the greatest curiosities of the

tree. 1t Is a plaEt that grows from
fifteen to twenty feet high, and in APP
other trees. but the innc bark is per-
feet silky fiber, long, smooth and
strong. The natives separate 1t by
some method best known to them
selves, the process somewhat resem-
bling that of beating flax, When once
it is separated and spun into threads,
itHcan be woven into fabric so closely
resembling silk that 1t is difficult for
any one not familiar with it to dis
tinguish between the two.
