Dead Sea Evaporation.

Scientific observation justifies the es-
innate that daily average of $500, 900
tons of water is received into the Dead
sea from the Jordan and other sources
during the year. During the rainy sea
son, says the Chicago Record Herald,
the amount is very much greater; dur
ing the dry season ii is of course very
much less, but this average will be
maintained year after year. There is
no outlet. and the level is kept down by
evaporation only, which is very rapid
because Of the intense heat, the dry at
mosphere and the dry winds which are
constantly blowing down the gorges be-
tween the mountains. This evaporation
causes a haze or mist to hang over the
lake at all times, and when 1t Is more
rapid than usual heavy clouds form
and thunderstorms sometimes rage with
great violence In the pocket between
the cliffs even In the dry season. A
food of rain often falls upon the sur
face OF the sea when the sun Is shin
ing, and the atmosphere is as dry as q
bone half a mile from the shore. The
mountains around the Dead sea are
rarely seen with distinctness because
of this haze.

The sIownes. of Starvation.

During a prolonged fast the loss Of
weight is unusually rapid at first and
decreases as the time goes on. Death
ensues when certain percentage OF
the loss has been reached, and this per-
centage varies according to the origi-
nal weight. Fat animals may lose half
their weight, thinner ones perhaps two
fifths. A man or woman of rather
spare build weighing 143 pounds
might, therefore, lose about 50 pounds
before succumbing. Children die after
a fast of from three to five days, dur
ing which they have lost n quarter OF
their weight. Healthy adults, however,
have tasted 80 days when water has
been taken. A German physician re-
ports the case Of a woman aged Al
years who tasted for 43 days, taking
water freely. She lost A pounds out
of 143 pounds and died from exhaus-
ton.

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION
Enthusiasm and Harmony. Large
Attendance.
The Ticket and Platform Satisfactory
to All Republicans.

For Governor, A. b. Cummins, of
Des Moines.
For Lieutenant Governor, John
Herriott, of Stuart.
For State Superintendent, John F.
Riggs, of Sigourney.
For Judge of the supreme court,
Charles A. Bishop, of Des Moines.
For Railroad Commissioner, Col.
David J. Palmer, of Washington.
The state convention held at Des
Moines yesterday was one of the best
ever held in the history of the party
in Iowa. The attendance was large.
There was but little contest, and har-
mony was the watchword.
Gov. A. B. Cummins received the
unanimous denomination for second
term which is usually accorded gov
ernor in this state. Gov. Cummins is
a man of great personal popularity.
His record as governor is most excel
lent. His abilities as an orator have
given him reputation throughout the
country. He richly deserves the high
compliment he received at the hands
of the party yesterday.
The rest of the ticket was named
without contest except superintendent.
On this three ballots were needed to
decide it. The first gave Barrett 466,
Riggs AL, Adams 1877. The second
gave Barrett 81, Riggs $50, Adams
1898. The third gave Barrett 10, Riggs
1913, Adams 548. Mr.. Barrett had
served three terms. He has made a
good record. Prof. Riggs is of Sig
Quincy, has been county teacher,
county superintendent, city superin-
tendent, is scholarly, experienced and
able and well qualified.
The platform is reputed to be large
ly from the pen of the grand old man
in Iowa politics, Senator Allison. 1t
is conservative enough to allow all
republicans to support it, and pro-
gressive enough to suit all elements.
Allison knows what republicanism is
and Iowa republicans can well accept
his platform as the best that can be
made. We will publish it later.
Those who attended the convention
from here were A. Boysen, w. G.
Elliott, F. II. Blume, Ed Delahoyde,
Pete Christensen, f. M. Leet, l.. M.
Estes, A. F. Greenwaldt, w. H. o.
Cornell, ID. c. Mott.
The reception given the visitors
Tuesday evening by the Polk Co. Re-
publican club at their rooms on the
east side was great success.
Speeches were made by Towner, Ber-
| ry, Drake, Allison, Dolliver, Cum
Minis, Perkins, Hull and Prouty. The
speeches were of an unusually high
order and created great enthusiasm.
All in all, Des Moines republicans
did hansomely in entertaining the
convention.

No Lanndries In China.

"Its the funniest thing to me-" said
an old sea captain who for many years
was in the China trade. that nine out
of every ten Cinnamon who come to
this country open laundries and engage
in a business which does not exist In
their native land.
"As every one knows, the Chinese at
home wear soft cotton and wooden gar
ments, according to the season, and
there is not pound Of starch In all
China Stifily starched clothes are I'M
known, and the Chinese men do not
do the washing as they do in this coun-
try. Neither is there any regular laun-
dry in the Flowery Kingdom. There
fore it is more than passing strange
that Cinnamon should all come to
America and engage in trade so for
eign to their home industries. "-Balti-

The utility OF the rattle to the rattle
snake is problem still awaiting solu-
ton. 1t has been supposed to be useful
as paralyzing Its prey through terror
excited by the sound thus induced.
But this is very doubtful explana-
ton. 1t Is akin to the notion formerly
entertained that serpents had power
of fascinating other creatures. Others
have thought that 1t seems to excite
the curiosity of animals and SO. brings
them within the rattlesnake's reach.
1t has also been supposed that 1t serves,
as 1t may do, to enable snakes of diff
ferent sexes to find each other and also
to guard the animal from attack when
It is helpless from its power Of offense
having been temporarily exhausted.

Water birds, singular as 1t seems, are
the only ones whose skins never by any
chance get touched by water. So long
as they are alive and long after they
are dead they float with an air cham
Der all round their bodies, cunningly
contrived OF waterproof feathers close
ly overlapping each other. Thus, in a
sense, water birds may be distinguish
ed from all others by the fact that they
never wash, though we can hardly
blame them for that, because If water
could penetrate between their feathers
the poor things would never be dry.

A Marvel of Science.

During visit to the south with an
eclipse expedition some years ago an
eminent American professor met an old
negro servant whose duty it was to
look after the chickens of the establish
ment where he was staying. The day
before the eclipse took place the pro-
fessor in an idle moment called the old
man to him and said. Sam, IL tomor-
row morning at IL o'clock you watch
your chickens you will find they will all
go to roost."
Sam was skeptical, of course, but
when at the appointed time next day
the sun in the heavens was darkened
and the chickens retired to roost the
negro's establishment knew no bounds.
He approached the professor in awed
wonder "Massa," he asked, "how long
ago did you know dat dem chickens
would go to roostT'
''Oh, long time" said the professor
airily.
''Did you know year ago, NASSAU
Eyes"
"Then dat beats de debil!" exclaimed
the astonished old man. Dem chick
ems weren't Matched year ago.!

MEDICINE IN THE ANDES.

Peculiar Properties of the Herbs the
Indian Doctors Use.
An interesting character, frequently
met with in the Andes, is the Gala
guayas, or Indian doctor. He is every
where and is trader, tinker, peddler,
fortune teller, conjurer and magician.
His knowledge of botany is as mys-
terious as it is comprehensive, and the
most astonishing stories are told Of his
cures.
A man in Lima was lying at the
point of death with disease which
bafiied physicians who brought diplo-
mas from the medical schools of Paris
and Vienna. One evening two of the
physicians stood talking of the case at
the sick mans door, without noticing
a humble, barefooted Indian who lean
the Indian entered the patio and asked
TO see the sick man. The family re-
ferred him to the attending doctor,
who, amazed at his audacity, exclaim-
ed:
what do you know about disease
that puzzles the best physicians in
Lima?"
81 have herbs that will cure every
thing" said the callaguayas.
The doctor smiled In scorn and turn
ed away. The Indian opened his pack,
took from a paper a single leaf and
handed it to the physician, asking him
to smell It. He did so, and instantly
his nose began to bleed, and he was
unable to stop it.
The Indian stood stolidly by for a
time, then handed him another leaf,
saying, "Smell that and the bleeding
will stop"
The result was what he promised.
and the physician was interested. In
the end the callaguayas saw the sick
man. He selected herbs from his stock,
brewed tea and gave it to the patient.
and the sick man recovered. - BE
