Specimens of remarkable mineral newly
discovered in Ceylon have been sent to
London for analysis. The hope that this
substance might prove to be a source of
wealth in containing large quantities of
thorium-of which incandescent gas man
ties are made-appears to have been in
founded; but. on the other hand. there
seems good reason to believe that its po-
tentialities in other directions are much
greater than any one could have guessed.
1t has already yielded signs of containing
two elements hitherto unknown to chem
lists. and 1t may well turn out to be the
most precious product of Ceylon's ISLE"

at the top, like that of the barn swallow,
it is rooted over, and has round en-
trance hole at the side. The eggs, four or
five in number, are similar TO those of the
barn swallow but larger, as a rule. The
bird is of local distribution and may be
common in one town and almost unknown
in the next Three years ago watched a
small colony of these birds building at
Stoneham, Mass, or, / should say, trying
to build" for not one of them completed
a nest The trouble was with the ma
terial. For some reason they persisted in
collecting sandy mud, which stuck to-
gether very well while 1t was wet, but
which fell apart as soon as it was dry.
No sooner was a nest well on the road TO
completion than down it fell, and, al
though the birds were very persistent
and tried 1t over and over again for many
weeks, they finally went away without
laying an egg. Had they been obseryant
and receptive, even to a small degree, il
would seem that they might have taken
the cue from the barn swallows which
were building on the inside of the same
barn. These birds obtained their mud
from a different source, and, as il was OF
the right quality, it held together and
enabled them to rear their young at the
first attempt
This bird need never be mistaken for the
barn swallow, if for no other reason than
because its tail feathers are of nearly equal
length. The rufous upper tail coverts
make field mark which, if once seen, will
serve to distinguish this swallow from any
of the others.
Other Varieties.
The largest and handsomest of our swal-
lows is the purple martin, which is very
likely to nest in our own garden If we take
the trouble to put a house up for him at
the top of a tall pole set In the lawn. 1
have seen martins nest even in a box
nailed to the peak of house roof. His
large size and his shining blue-black plum
age will distinguish him from any of his
relatives, as will his stately flight and
charming liquid song.
The bank swallow, with his brownish-
gray back, white throat and brownish-gray
band on his throat, is familiar figure
where there are sandbanks in which he can
tunnel to hide his simple nest of grass
feathers. Not always does he take tho
trouble to dig out a tunnel however, for
once at least, l have found bank swal-
lows nest in the deserted burrow of a
king fisher.
low, as the latter name suggests, has his
under parts pure white; but his upper parts
may be either blush or greensh AS the
former name implies, the bird builds its
nest in a hole in tree, though sometimes
1t will take advantage of the thoughtful
ness of bird lovers, and build in a box
which has been put up for him
Either as a class or individually, the swal-
low is a most useful neighbor. He does
absolutely no harm, and working, as he
does, from daylight until dusk he rids tho
air of myriads of insects which are life to
him, but which. in time, might literally be
death to us.

are true blue platform republicans, and
are not suspicioned Of any disposition to
compromise their principles with the
opposition. There viii now be strong
movement for the statwartizing Of the

sist in the movement by inalertness

THE CAUSE OF THE PEOPLE Is

So Says Former Governor Hoard 10 Connection VIII
the Railroad. Rump Convention Bolt

In common with every republican who
glories in the record the republican par
ty has made in behalf of the cause OF
popular rights, can but lament most
deeply the division in our ranks which
has come. Nevertheless l am not sur
prised at it.
Our party has too many men in it
who have been making merchandise Of
the moral and political convictions of
the rank and file for the benefit of the
railroads and other corporations
Every public official for years who
has attempted TO oppose such prostitu-
tioI of the party has met with sore dis
couragement, and in many instances
with defeat.
The real secret of all this cutlery
against Governor La Toilette lies right
at this point.
The leaders of this bolt are simply
obeying their masters ia Wall street
where the railroads are owned a. con-
trolled. The result will be the rising Of
the people to their own high estate and
the control Of their own affairs
Men with corporation affiliations and
sympathies in both the republican and
democratic parties will come ogether
in opposition to Governor La toilette
just as they have done for years.
Those whose hearts are loyal to the
cause Of the plain people will rally to
his support. He viii be voted for and
elected. The cause of the people is
mighty and must prevail -Ex- Govern.
