If Two Worlds ShOuld Meet.

IL TWO W. SuOuAN ucets
Our world is spinning through space
at a speed of over 1000 miles per min
ute, says an astronomer. Should it
come in collision with globe Of equal
size going at the same rate Of speed,
what would be the result? The very
best thinkers of the age tell us that
heat enough would be generated by
the shock to transform both of the col
liding bodies into gigantic balls of va
pOr many times their present circum
fcrences. Some have thought that in
case the center of the earth is com.
posed of solid and colder matter than
is the generally accepted belief this
might not be the case, blH after search
ing all the leading authorities l must
admit that l cannot find Il more ap-
propriate "finis" than the following.
which is from an eminent scientist:
Should such an unhcard of event occur
the heat generated would be sufficient
to melt, boil and completely vaporizc a
mass of ice fully 700 times the bulk of
both the colliding worlds - in other
words an ice planet 100000 miles in
diameter.

The Sun MYTHS.

1t was in Bayard Taylor's day that
the sun myth had it's vogue. One night
at party Taylor was greatly bored by
the persistent efforts of guest to dis
cuss sun myths. No matter what direc-
ton the conversation might take, this
person would ruthlessly drag it back
again to his favorite topic.
At last the distressed poet raised a
very interesting question in regard to
the threadbare subject. Odd you ever
think" he asked, that the name Smith,
SO common all over the world, is de
rived from sun MYTH" No one had
ever dreamed of such thing. Max Null
Ter had overlooked the point complete
ly.
"Quite possible: certainly most plau
sible," said Taylor. "Sun myth, Su
myth, Smyth, Smith, and some still
spell the name with Il v" The discus
| sion was ended.

HARD TO BEAT.

The present winter in the Flathead
valley, in point of weather. has been
the best of which We have any
record. The lowest temperature SO
far recorded has been Z degrees
above zero, and but very little of
that; the mean temperature for both
the months of December and Janu-
airy has been but few degrees be-
low freezing. Besides the mild and
pleasant weather. good sleighing has
been continuous since Thanksgiving,
and the person who would not be
pleased with the climatic conditions
prevailing in Flathead this year
would not be happy anywhere. Be-
sides the pleasure of existence under
such conditions, the winter has been
all that could be desired from bust
ness point of view; for the splendid
sleighing has enabled the lumbermen
to do a large amount Of logging at a
minimum expense. which inSures a
long run of the saw mills during the
present year. The good roads have
also enabled the farmers to easily
market their products. and, all things
considered, the weather man is en-
titled to the thanks of the people Of
tho Flathead.

PRICE OF COAL GOES UP

PRICE OF COAL GOES VI -.
The city of Great Falls is having
some experience with the coal prob
lem, so prominent in eastern cities.
A large portion of the coal used in
Great Falls comes from Canada, and
the removal Of the duty on coal
ought to lower the price of that arti-
Gle: but the reverse seems to be
true, for since the removal OF the
duty, instead of going down, the price
has gone up. This is explained by
the dealers as being due to the in
crease in freight charges that have
been made since the Great Falls and
Canada railroad came into the hands
of the Great Northern.
The road was a narrow gauge at
fair and has just been converted into
a standard gauge by the Great North
ern. With the increase in facility
and equipment of the road, the pub
lie naturally expected some reduc-
ton in the freight tariffs, but the
change has been made in the other
direction, and freight charges have
gone up accordingly.
The policy of the Great Northern is
to charge all the traffic will stand,
and when the duty is again put upon
coal, as it will be in a year, under
the present law, the price Of coal
will again be raised to the consumer
to the extent of the duty, if not
more.
The removal of the duty on coal
or other benefits intended for the
people can do them little or no go ID
so long as such benefits must pass
through the hands of the railroads
or other monopolies to reach the
people; and yet some people say a
railroad commission is not needed in

A BAD PRECEDENT.

The bill for an act to reimburse
H. l.. Frank to the extent of $57 1000,
for money alleged to have been lost
on the capitol building contract, will
not meet with any enthusiastic in
dorsement by the people of the state.
Mr.. Frank no doubt took the con-
tract to erect the state capitol build
ing for the purpose of making money,
and had he made large sum on the
contract, no one would have be-
grudged him his profits nor would
anyone expect him to return any por-
ton of such profits to the state. 1t
was a business venture pure and sim
pie, Mr.. Frank was to receive all of
the profits, and for this reason he
assumed the responsibility for any
losses. If the state must take the
responsibility for losses, it might as
we'll have erected the building with
out letting any contract, and thus
gained any possible profits.
The Bee is not informed as to
whether Mr.. Franks losses were due
to mismanagement, neglect or I'M
avoidable circumstances, or whether
he really sustained any loss at all,
nor does it matter, so far as the prin-
ciple goes. for the state might as well
give him $57. 900 to add to mis- profits
as to give him that amount to REIN
burse him for losses.
Such gift is a dangerous prece-
dent for the legislature to establish
as hereafter every person who loses
on a contract with the state will
have a right to expect the state to
reimburse him for such loss, nor can
the state distinguish between the
man who loses honestly and the one
who loses through neglect or incom
potency, or whose loses are more ap
parent than real
The world admires a game loser
and the man who can pocket his
losses with smile usually succeed:
where others fail.
The constitution of Montana for
bids any gift or grant of any kline
being made to any person or corpora
ton, and as the appropriation TO
Mr.. Frank is substantially a gift, i
not only violates that provision OF tn
constitution, but it opens the door 10
fraudulent claimants in the future.

may be some grounds for argument
as to real charity being contained in
large requests or donations to the
institutions of learning while SO
many thousands of children find it
more or less impossible to secure
place for the absorption of even the
elementary teachings, the fact that
every other university has been sim
ilarly treated by other wealthy indi-
viduals should take the edge from the
pungent criticism as to what man
should do with his own money, no
matter how he made it. So, too,
should the claim that but a small
proportion of the people will secure
the benefits of the Carnegie library
scheme, be set aside, for only in it's
educational facilities may a. country
become truly great. There is one
satisfaction that the ObstructiOnists
should consider and that is. at the
present rate of book production it
will take all of Carnegie's money to
find place therefor.
Consider, also, how much better
to have books and book libraries and
great universities than to witness the
philanthropists giving their ducats to
modernize the Congo Free State, or
to establish a cult for the propaga-
ton of wealth and the society of bill
ionaires. It would be better to take
the good things that the aggregation
of individual capital and individual
generosity makes possible, than to
look a gift horse in the mouth and
quarrel with fate because we cannot
dominate these gifts and restrict phil
anthropy to the channels in which
we would have it flow.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.

The movement that has been
started in Great Falls to encourage
the use and consumption of articles
of home manufacture is one that
should be followed in every COM
munity in Montana. Montana is we'll
named the treasure state, but her
real development and prosperity will
not begin until the millions that are
now sent out of the state annually
for manufactured goods shall be
spent at home, and the way to bring
this about is to cultivate and eneour-
age the demand for home made arti-
cles.
Montana'S wealth is not increasing
at the rapid rate which the value Of
her annual products would seem to
indicate In this respect she is like
the man who makes plenty of money
but spends it as fast as il is made.
The farmer who produces large crops
of grain will not save or accumulate
much if he is obliged to spend the
most of his income in the purchase
of eggs, milk, butter. meat, etc, but
WITH uc plouuNCS al IHS'SS e'' NAS'Se
and others he can save and accumu
late that which he produces, and il
is just so with the state. Whenever
she can produce all that she con
sumes, her real prosperity and great
ness will begin. Nor is it necessary
to wait until the home made goods
are on the market before starting the
demand; for let it be we'll known
that there is demand for home
made articles and that the people
will give profitable support to hom'
institutions, and the Industries will
be established. for business follow
profit, no matter where it leads.
And that which applies to tn
state in general. applies to the FLAT
head valley in particular; for, wit
all her varied resources, this section
could come nearer to living within
itself than any other portion of tn
state. Communities. like men, ar
measured by the value Of their pos
sessions, and possessions are IL
creased by what is saved rather tina
by what is made; and to come up t
the full measure of her possibilities
Montana must learn to produce ths
which she consumes, and the frs
step in this direction is to stimulat
and make known the demand IL
home made articles.
