FOR THE CHILDREN
Ink and water Trick.

Here is q fayorite trick explained. 1t
is merely a SIMPLE chemical action, but
if the trick is carefully performed a
good deal can be made out of it.
Take two large glasses and fill one
with the solution representing ink and
the other with the solution represent
ing water.
Then cover these two glasses with
colored handkerchiefs. and. taking a
pistol and firing it, command the ink
and water to change places. On lift
ing the handkerchiefs it is found that
this has been done, and the glass con-
tanning water now holds ink, and vice
versa.
This chemical change can be brought
about in several different ways, but
one, the best, is as follows:
Fill both the glasses with ordinary
water, adding to one a small quantity
of graduated sulphate of iron. together
with a very small quantity of tannin.
This forms the ink.
In the other glass dissolve a small
quantity of the graduated suIphate of
iron only. This will leave a perfectly
transparent liquid resembling water.
The trick is now ready to be per-
formed, and all the performer has to do
is to drop a pinch of tannin in the liq
uid resembling water while lie is COW
ering the glass with the colored hand
kerchiefs and n pinch Of powdered
oxalic acid into the liquid resembling
the ink
The performer Should contrive to give
both glasses Il shake if possible and TO
leave them covered up for few sec
onds to allow the chemical change to
work.

Russia Prepared for War,

RESERVES Modified
Explanation of the Cars long De-

Japan is at Hand.
No Longer Concealed That Russia
is Prepared for Eventu-
aIities.

St. Petersburg, Feb. I'm spite Of
the expressed hope of the Russian au-
thorities that the present crisis will
be passed and that a pacific solution
OF the Russo-Japanese negotiations
will be reached, it is no longer con-
cealed that Russia is practically pre-
pared for eventualitfes. The mobiliza-
ton of the Manchurian reserves has
beyn announced.
It has been well known for months
that Russia has been steadily strength
ening her army and navy in the far
East, to meet the preparations which
japan was openly making. The avail
able warships were dispatched to the
far East and the last division which
left the Mediterranean a month ago
is now nearing it's destination. Quiet
ly but surely, it was necessary that
Russia's preparations should keep
pace with those Of her diplomatic adj
versary. The feverish activity OF
Japan during the last few weeks nat
uraIly increased the dfstrust Of her III
innate intentions, and the Russian au-
thorities have been pushing their pre-
1t is understood that six or seven mil
itary trains daily have been. going east
over the Siberian road and the char

water route was considered too slow
The authorities now feel that the sit
uation is secure should Japan reject
Russia's proposition
The draft of Russia's reply probably
will be submitted to the czar today. It
is understood that it will be pacific and
should lead" to a settlement, our
informant reiterating what he said a
few days ago: 1--WE have conceded
much already and we are ready to con.
cede more, but some things we cannot
grant. From our standpoint the Man
chrrian question was settled by Rus
sia's circular note to the powers rec
ognizing all the Chinese treaties. Why
should Japan demand more than the
other powers?"
The Russian papers agree that trea-
ty guarantees covering Manchuria and
permission for Japan to fortify south

sea Of Japan are impossible

CROFT ON STAND
Inventor of Letter Box Fastener Gives
His Testimony.

Washington Feb. 2-Samuel A.
Croft, the inventor of the street letter
box fastener, contracts for the furnish
ing of which are alleged to have been
improperly obtained, took the stand in
the postal trials and told how he con-
ceived the idea of getting up the de-
vice; and the efforts made by him to
find someone beside his brother to
take an active interest in placing it,
The fastener had been adopted and an
order for the Washington postoffice
paid for, he testified. before Mr. Lor-
enz in 1895 proposed to work up
sentiment in favor of it among the
postmasters of the country. The wit
ness declared he never spoke a word
to Machen about the fastener other
than to admit, in response to a cues
ton put by Machen at a public test
that it fitted too tightly. Up to that
time he said he never had heard of
Mr.. LorenZ, and after making the
agreement with him witness said he
never saw hlIn again until last sum

The "watch Your Coat, Problem.

"How impractical men are after allP'
said a business woman in crowded
downtown restaurant. Though signs
warn them to look out for their coats
and hats, they hang them up so they
can't keep their eyes on them-that is,
they hang them up on their side OF
the table. The consequence is the coat
and hat practically are behind them or
so far at the side they don't glance ar
them once during the meal. They should
place them on the hooks on the oppo-
site side of the table. Then they would
be looking at them all the time,
You wouldn't catch girl doing a
thing like that If there were any
chance of her losing her jacket or hat.
you can rest assured she would put
them where she couldn't fail to see
them."-New York Press.

ELECTRIC PALACE
At the st. Louis Exposition.

st. Louis, Feb. 2.-Visitors to the
exposition to be held here this year
will find that the most elaborate
preparations ever attempted have
been made to explain them, in way
that even the layman may under
stand, the mysteries of that great
natural force which is called electric
ity, and if there is any one exhibit
which probably will attract universal
attention it will be that In the Pal
ace Of Electricity.
The application of electricity to
every branch of industry has made
such wonderful progress in the last
ten years that many things viii be
shown here which will be entirely
new to the public.
While the exhibit naturally will
appeal most to engineers, the efforts
of the managers of the department
are being directed to the end Of max
ing the displays in such a manner
than even the uninitiated will be able
to understand and appreciate the
wonders of the great energy"
Aside f rom the displays Of electric
al machines and apparatus, the ex-
hibits to be made by the great uni
versities, associations and labora-
tories which are not commercial In
character will contain delicate as
we'll as accurate instruments and APP
paratus which will make it possible
to demonstrate in a clearer way than
ever has been done before how this
great natural force is harnessed and
applied to the uses of men.
The largest classification, both in
area Of space and number of exhibits
will be that of the machines for gen
Grating and using electricity. Dyna-
mos and motors of all the principal
makes will be on exhibition, most Of
them running Motor generators, ro-
tary transformers and other appli-
ances viii be 50 arranged and con
nected as to demonstrate their vari-
Gus functions.
Opportunity is to be given for still
and live exhibits In the street rail
way field. There will be a double
testing track 400 feet long for this
purpose upon which speed, accelera-
ton, braking and efficiency tests can
be made Electrical railway equip
ment Of standard form will be test
ed, and not only this, but systems
now being developed will be given Of
fetal recognition, and the utility of
electric railway signals, apparatus
and safety devices of every form will
be demonstrated.
The exhibit Of devices for electric
lighting showing as they will the i'm
provements of recent years promise
to be intensely interesting. A num-
Der of historical exhibits of very great
merit are to be placed in the electric
al building. Thomas A. Edison,
chief consulting electrical engineer
of the department, has planned a
personal exhibit, showing the earliest
forms of the incandescent lamp, pho
nograph, generators and other me-
chanisms which he has contributed
so much to develop The storage
battery he has designed especially
for automobile use, combining light
weight with high discharge rates,
will draw the attention Of engineers
as we'll as the public.

SOCIETY AND SOCIETY"
stern Demand for the Return of a Good
 Old word, tO Proper Use.

May Housekeeper.
 Is it not nearly time that the per sons who stole the good old word ''so- ciety" and applied 1t to their own private and personal uses should re- turn 1t to it's proper. place In the Eng fish. language? For a good while now the majority of us have been robbed of khis word, since it's meaning has been restricted to include only the so- called fashionable" folk. If used at all in this limited sense, the word should be inclosed in quotation marks The word belonged to English h-speak- ing people as a whole and very small minority came along and stole it. Now we want 1t back.
 Consideration of a suitable designa- tion for our fasnlonable folk brings to light another word arrogantly res smart" To be smart" nowadays is good uses for this word that really we ought not to let 1t be taken from us like this. And what shal1 we say of "functiUn." another misappropriated word? From the viewpoint of the 'so- ciety" editor any soclal occasion, from dance to dinner, or even a wedding, is a function" But here Is one word which we are perfectly willing should be employed to designate those who are in quotation-marked "society" It is "swagger." The word Is not of our choosing. It is self-applied. Fashion able folk may be as "swagger" as they desire (admirably expressive word) if they will only allow the rest of us to continue to constitute the greater por- tion of society.

What He Is, Not What He Says.

Spartanburg (S. CD Herald.
 The bowling Dervishes of Persia in- c1uded among whom are Mir. Billey Bryan, the Bawler, MT. Billie Hearst. the Trust Bluster, The Atlanta News and few other newspapers under the influence of the Hearst Barl. continue loudly to declaim upon the subject of Judge Parker's taking the stump and proclaiming in thunder tones-like MT. Billy B. and MT. Billie H.-what is and what am and what should be and what am going to be when am IT. Thank full are the leading Democrats of this country that the Democratic Party has an eminent representative who Is not that kind of a man.
 This Is a time fast nearing a still better time when man is to be judg ed rather by what he does and what he is than by what he says. What a man says is the least indication of what he is, and, as is not infrequently re- marked, only fools boast loudly of what they are going to do. The day when men are heard for their much speaking is fast passing away A bet ter and a saher day Is dawning when men like Judge Parker as we'll as men like William Randolph Hearst shall be Judged by their records, The Amer ican people just at this time need as their President least of all a bawler or a blusterer.

A WEAK PLEA.

With profound reverence for one day of rest in each week, whether we call 1t Sunday or Sabbath, or whether 1t be the first day or the seventh, we must reserve the right to object to the ex- treme puritanism displayed In a re- cent breach of promise case in Penn sylvania. The defendant, Rev. E. J. Heilman. bases bis defence on the plea that the first contract or agreement of marriage was entered into on Sunday. and is, therefore, invalid. and that all other promises or agreements were founded on said original contract and are of no legal force.
 This is the defence upon which the defendant relies to secure immunity from the penalty of failure to comply with his contract, and the defence is certainly a weak one. Lawyers some times file trivial pleas as last resort. but for a minister to make such a plea to justify his action is not cretiitable to him, to say the least of 1t. The laws of all States. so far as we remember. hold that contracts made on sunday are void, or voidable, except in certain exceptional cases, but we doubt if any of them or any court would go So far as to bar a promise of marriage be- cause it was made on that day Such an effort to protect himself from the consequences of his own acts Is not creditable to the reverend gentleman who uses 1t.

EXTENDING THE CAPITOL.
Preserve the Present Buifding I'm the
 Changes.


 Birmingham Age-Herald. ..
 Before Governor Jelks went to Mex leo in search of health he expressed the opinion that an extension of the Capitol was in sight-that the treas ury could stand a drain of $150.000 for that purpose without detriment to the old soldiers of the Confederaoy, or oth- CT just claimants. Governor Cunning ham takes like view of the case, and treasury situation is equal to the strain. the law of the last Legislature will be put into effect. This law calls for an expenditure of $50,0OO year up- on the Capitol for three years.
 Taxable values are increasing in Alabama, and no doubt Governor Cum ningham will find that he Is warrant ed in extending and improving the Capitol. The Capitol commission will problem--how can the historic old building be preserved while accommo- dations for the State government are supplied.
 The sentiment of the State is un- dountedly opposed to any change in the general appearance of the Capitol. The history connected with 1t demands son that incites patriotism and fond recollections.
 The task before the Capitol commits sioners Is not a light one, but modern architects are very skillful. and no doubt our chief State relic can be pre- served substantially intact, while need ed extensions and Improvements are made. Possibly a new building will be erected to which various officers can be assigned. thus leaving the Cap itol that was built in 1850 absolutely intact.
