There is a deadly spring in the des-

with violent cramps and suffered in

brought away and analysed. 1t was

SCIENCE SETTINGS.

Fuel briquettes of sawdust that
have been tried in Germany are &C.
tagonal cakes 6% inches long by 3b
wide, and three quarters inch thick,
and each weighs half a pound. They
are harder and heavier than oak, and
are made by compression without
binding ingredients. They burn with
out smoke.
The explosion motor holds the palm
for lightness. The best electric motor
with its storage battery is stated to
weigh nearly 100 pounds to the horse
power, and the Serpollet steam en-
CINE, flashing water into steam from
a coil boiler, about IA pounds. But the
Bourdiaux gasoline engine gives a
horse power with a weight of only
eight pounds.
The novel theory that volcanic erup-
lions produce glacial epochs is advo-
cat ed by Paul and Fritz Sarasin, Ger
man biologists. 1t is calculated that
a lowering of the mean annual tenn
perature by 20 or so degrees Fahren.
heit would be sufficient to give all the
phenomena of glaciation, and the vast
quantity of dust thrown off by the
Krakatoa eruption of 1884, and re-
naming suspended in the air for years
satisfies these theorists that the 81.
multaneous eruption of many volca-
noes could so veil the sun as to give
the necessary slight lessening of tenn
perature. This would make possible
a new ice age at any time.

r. r. Commission.
The North Western is the loser in the
refrigerator service matter. The state rail-

tablish refrigerator service at least once
week in June, July. August and Septem-
Der each year, beginning June 90 1903, be-
tween Burr. Yellow Medicine county, and
Lake Benton. Lincoln county, and the twin
cities. The Omaha company will handle
the business between Mankato and St.
Paul.
The order applies from territory adj
tacent to Watertown, S. D., to the twin
cities. The commission finds that the ter
r1tory named in the complaint produces
a large quantity of butter and eggs and
other perishable merchandise which is
properly tributary to the twin cities as a
market. 1t also finds that large guam
titles of such merchandise are shipped
from that territory to the cities Of Water
town, S. D., Mankato and Chicago, and
that refrigerator car service is furnished
between those points. st. Paul and Min
neapolis are therefore Disseminated
against and just and reasonable car
service should be furnished.
