been discovered yet. But there are many
living forms that stand 80 near the gas
trea that Hacckel himself has felt justified
in naming them gastrad@s, and in recent
work it has been possible to publish plate
with no less than sixteen figures Of such
creatures.
Our fresh water polyp belongs to this
group. 1t exists to-day practically with
nothing except skin and stomach, although
it has advanced TO the stationary form
OF life. Then there are certain low sponge
like forms of animal.
Jean Paul once said very admirably
that the poet begins where man discovers
that everything that is old and Of every
day is really wonderful In this sense
every thinking person should be poet.
l hope that the reader who has made
this little expedition into the mystery OF
life will be conscious that there Is nothing
trivial in the light Of knowledge. The
stomach, in the gastrDa theory. becomes
one OF the wonders of the wonderland Of
life. WILHELM BFLscHE.

The Recent oleomargarine Law Re-
sponsible for the Falling OFF

Leavenworth. Kas.. Aug. 24.-The in
ternal revenue collections for Kansas,
Oklahoma and Indian Territory district
for the fiscal year ending June 30,
amounted to 1911, 450.23, less than half
that Of the previous year, when the to-
tai was $3.50, 1912. The big falling off
in revenue is due largely to the passage
of the new oleomargarlne law providing
for heavy tax penalties on butterine and
the like. More than S325,o0O was lost
from this source OF revenue. The an
nual report of this revenue Office, COM
pleted today, shows that very little at
tention Is paid to the Kansas prohibit
tory law. In the year, the number of
retail liquor licenses issued to Kansas
was 1892. the largest in the history Of
this revenue office. Aside from this, 3O3
licenses were issued to wholesale beer
agencies This is 5000 in all.
The revenue records show there are
three breweries in this state and that
they paid 81 tax on each of S,673 barrels
of beer manufactured by them. In the
year 1.157 retail liquor dealers licenses
and sixty-one to persons living in the
Indian Territory in spite OF the fact
that it is illegal to sell liquor to the In
dians. The total revenue received from
liquor licenses and beer taxes was
sll8,41s.1s.
The sum of sss. So was collected
from the sale of cigars and tobacco
stamps. The government in spite of
the new olemargarine law, derived $34,-
49045 from the sale of stamps for I'M
colored oleomargarine and $24814.5
from colored Most of the other reve-
nue. was from penalties and the sale of
stamps on many different articles.
The revenue records show that Kan
sas City, Kas., LeaYenworth, Wichita
and Topeka secured the greatest num-
Der of retail liquor licenses. The clerks
state that the applications for retail

from an eight ounce flask and went to

First Year at Fort Riley With Disap-
pearing Target.

target practice for the field artillery at
Fort Riley has been in progress now for
several weeks. Some entirely new fea-
lures have been introduced, the most
notable one being the disappearing tar
get. This is the first practice of Aneri-
can artillery at targets of this kind, and
the batteries have demonstrated their
ability to hit them under all conditions.
Three groups of targets, representing
twenty-four standing and twenty-four
kneeling figures were exposed for a few
minutes to the fire from the batteries.
At the close of the firing every figure
had been hit from one to nine times, the
range being 1900 yards to the first
group, and $500 yards to the second.
