MONUMENT TO FAMOUS SCOUT
Grave of Jim Bridger, FrOntiersman
and Trader, to Be Marked BY
Granite MOnument.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 5.-The bones
of Jim Bridger, famous scout and dis.
coverer of Great Salt lake, will be
brought from I'll obscure grave on a
farm ten miles south OF this city for
final burial in a local cemetery, Mon
day. A granite monument seven feet
high will be unveiled next Monday.
Mrs. Mary Leightle, Bridger's grand.
daughter, will unveil the monument. A
life-sized bust OF the old frontiersman
and an inscription telling OF his great.
, est deeds will be sculptured upon TIT
shaft. The expense is being borne by
Gen. Granville M. Dodge, who, as en-.
gineer of the Union Pacific railway,
was indebted to Bridger for the dis.
covery of a pass through the Rocky
mountains, through which the railway
was built.
From 1924 until late in the COS,
Bridger probably was the vests great.
est mountaineer, frontiersman, trader
guide and fighter. He was the chief
/ of five of the most powerful Indian
tribes, the founder of Fort Bridger, and

AFTER FAIRBANKS SHOES.
Scramble On in Indiana to Fill the
Senator's Place with Man
of Money.

The people of Indiana may expect to
witness a veritable saturnalia of corrup-
ton during the election of Fairbanks
successor in the coming Legislature, says
the Indianapolis Sentinel.
Already the republicans elected to the
legislature are gloating over "What will
be in it," and the men who are supposed
to have the peoples interests at heart
are glibly Boosting about making the
fellow put up who gets the shoes of
Senator Fairbanks.
Men who are multi-millionaires, men
who have done nothing for their state OF
party to justify their selection, and men
who are so small in caliber that they
would not make good ordinary legisla-
tive timber with a healthy political cor
dition existing are now mentioned for
that high station, which was graced by
Morton, by Hendricks, by Mcdonald and
Harrison. True, the mar who is about
to take his feet out of the senatorial
shoes was himself far below the stand
ard of those who went before him, and it
is not at all unlikely that his election to
the senate in Indiana, under rather pc
culiar and shady circumstances, has had
much to do with lowering the standard
of the %senatorship. This may account
for the entry into the race of many men
who are now talked Of to succeed him.
They say Of him: Fairbanks was not
a statesman. Fairbanks was not an
orator. Fairbanks was not a lawyer of
standing, nor was he remarkable for
having done anything for his state. Yet
Fairbanks got to the senate"
And SO each one of the pigmies is now
considering himself good material for
| the senate"
A man may serve his state and the ma
| ton well in the senate who has no gift
Of oratory; a man who may not, have
won distinction at the bar may shine in
| the senate and be a most useful and
valuable servant of state and nation, but
when it has come to that stage that men
with large financial at their
command, and who have no other quail
ications are to be deemed worthy" to
sit in the senate of the United States
to voice the views Of Indiana, things
have come to a pretty pass.
1t is our guess that in the contest now
begun, the mar with the biggest barrel,
or the man representing the interests
that control the biggest barrel, will be
the successor of Fairbanks.

IN INVENTIONS.

A clever Swiss inventor has original
ed an instrument which tells the exact
condition of the air in a room-that is,
its degree Of impurity.
A practical folding umbrella con-
structed on the telescope plan has been
evolved. The 28-inch size folds up to Is
inches, and the other sizes in proportion.
A Norwegian named John Eggen has
invented an electric apparatus for indi-
eating the presence of a school OF fish In
the deep. 1t consists Of a metal plate
and a microphone in the water, connect
ed by wire with a telephone on board
ship.
Swiss watchmakers have now added a
monograph to some of their wonderful
watches. A small rubber disc is put in
the watch and arranged in such a way
that the record is repeated every hour.
Anything can be put on the record that
the owner wishes.
A new invention for insuring dry
seats on electric cars in wet weather has
been displayed in Edinburgh. AS ex-
planned by the inventor, the new ar
rangement is a simple one, and can be
fitted to any style of garden, tramway
Or ships deck seat. 1t is practically a
wooden covering for the seat, can be
lifted in wet weather, the ordinary
movement of the back rest of the seat
locking it in position. When raised, 1t
forms a shelter for the back of the pas
senger. In dry weather, the cover forms
the ordinary seat.
Glass that can be heated white hot
and then plunged into cold water with
out breaking seems an impossibility,
but it has been recently made an accom-
plished fact. 1t Is made from Brazilian
quartz pebbles heated red hot and then
thrown into distilled water. Then the
purest pieces are selected and welded
with the oxyhydrogen blowpipe into
long stems like straws, from which glass
vessels of any shape a be made. Thus
far the quartz glass has been employed
chiefly, for making laboratory appara-
tus. A test tube made in this way will
not break when a white-hot coal is
dropped into it.

PROF. P. c. HOLDEN,
THE AGRONOM|ST
Iowa Pays Him Good Salary to
Teach Farmers to Raise Corn.
ALL THOUGHT THEY KNEW HOW
After Following the Professor In
structiOns They Discovered That
what They Didn't Know
Cost Them Dearly.

Sioux City, Ia, Dec. 4.-The state
of Iowa has been paying $4,000 a year
for two years to a mar who in the
last u months has earned for the state
SIC, $1,000. His name is Prof. P. G..
Holden. He is an agronomist.
Iowa farmers laughed at the idea
Of a man with such q title trying to
teach them, the best corn growers in
the world.
But they do not laugh now. Instead,
they flock by the hundreds to hear
Prof. Holden talk, and they go away
and do exactly as he tells them. AS
a result, in large part, of following
his advice, they have raised about one
hundred million bushels more corr
this year than in any year of this
century, and they expect to add an
other one hundred million bushels
to their crop next year.
Prof. Holden became an agronomist
that is, an expert in grain raising
by accident. When he taught school
in Michigan he got up a co~rn-growing
contest among his pupils. He induced

Using his trips.
Counties Visited Lead In Yield.
The results are read in the crop re.
ports on Iowa's corn yield this year.
The average crop Of Iowa corn fol
1904 is 40 bushels to the acre. Fol
nine years it has been 271k bushels.
This years crop will aggregate $780,
600, 900 bushels, about 125, 000, 900 more
Il an last years yield. The crop is
worth about $50, OOO, 900 more than q
year ago, and Prof. Holden is univer.
sally credited with a third interest in
the extra yield.
Evidence in the professors favor is
overwhelming. The counties in which
he made speeches did better than the
others. Those in which he had the
largest audiences did best of all. There
are fields, worked under careful appli.
cation of his methods, which have pro-
duced more than 100 bushels to the
acre. These with so bushels are fire..
