SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATIONS.

The error of an astronomical chrome
meter is rarely greater than two one
hundredths of a second.
Prof. Walkoff, of Munich, after an
extended study of the skull of a pre-
historic man, recently discovered,
publishes the information that our old
est male ancestors, in his opinion,
though able to walk erect, could not
talk.
1t having been found that the meter
is not a natural unit of measure, it not
being exactly a ten-millionth part of a
quadrant of the terrestrial meridian, M.
CABOT suggests that the height Of the
column of quicksilver in the baro-
meter, at a given altitude and tempera-
ture, be taken as the standard.
The discoveries of Roman remains in
Britain made in 1902 were ever fewer
than those of 1901. Excavations were
continued at Silchester, Caerwent, and
Hadrian's Wall; and the Scottish Anti
quaries, having completed Inchtuthill,
dug up Castlecary. But the results
were new in value; the field of ex-
cavations was not enlarged by new I'M
dertakings, and the list Of interesting
chance discoveries was short

Some time since a hardware com,
pany of St. Louis notified secretary of
State Cook that it had increased it's
capital stock and sought to have him
issue it a certificate. This he refused
to do on the ground that 60 days
public notice had not been given that
the proposition to make an increase
in the capitalization of the company
would be submitted to a vote of it's
stockholders. A writ of mandamus
was applied for in the supreme court,
and that tribunal granted a peremp-
tory writ against the secretary of
state on the ground that all the stock
holders voted in the meeting at which
the proposed increase was considered.

Columbia, No., May 12.-The follow

United States weather bureau at CO.
lumbia:
The mean temperature of the past
week was very near the normal in all
sections of the state, except the
southwest, where there was a marked
deficiency, and there has been about
the average amount of sunshine.
Light frosts occurred in some To-
c%alities during the fore part of the
week, but did little or no damage.
Over portions of the southwest Sec
ton the rainfall of the week ranged
from one to over two inches, but else
where it was generally less than one
half inch, many localities receiving

cept in some of the southwestern

ously pushed.
In most of the southern counties
planting is nearing completion and
from one-half to three-fourths of the
crop has been planted in portions Of
the central and northern sections,
but in many counties of those Sec
tons less than half the land intended
for corn has not as yetbeen broken. In
the northwestern counties much corn
will be listed. The soil is now in bet.
ter condition to work than at any
previous time this spring, but there is
much complaint that it is cloddy and
hard to pulverize.
In portions of the central and north.
ern sections it is still very ''soggy."
In a few of the southeastern counties
the ground is becoming too hard to
plow.
Corn is coming up very slowly, as
a rule, owing to the continued cold
weather, and in portions of the SOUTH
ern sections there is much complaint
of poor stands. Some early fields in
the extreme southern counties have
been cultivated.
Cotton planting is nearly compile
ton in the extreme southeastern
counties, and good stands are report
ed in New Madrid county, but in
Dunklin and Pemisoot counties there
is complaint that it is not coming up
well. Wheat continues to de%teriorate
in portions of the central and south
ern sections, owing to damage by
rust and insects, and in some of the
southern and eastern counties it is
greatly in need of rain.
In most of the central and north
err counties it continues in fair to
excellent conditions. The earliest is
now heading in the southern counties,
and there is some complaint that it is
very short. In a few of the extreme
southern counties the crop was dam
aged by frost. Oats are being greatly
retarded by the cool and dry weather,
and in some counties are turning yell
low. Grasses are also making slow

Kansas City Postal Clerk May he
Dismissed for Promoting Suits
Against Government.

Washington, May 19.-Second AS
sistant Postmaster-General Shallen-
berger has directed that Svend Schibsl
by, a railway postal clerk at Kansas
City, show cause why he should not
be dismissed for promoting suits
against the government for travelling
expenses of postal employees. There
are 5000 railway post clerks in the
country, and the purpose is to pre-
vent a widespread movement having
in view the prosecution of a claim
which the department regards as pre-
posterous. The position of the post
office department is that the desig.
mated headquarters of these clerks is
the route on which their runs are
made and not the city or town where
they may happen to live. A case is
now pending in the court of claims in
this city, involving this question of
their travelling expenses.
