Speaker Cannon. Ink Work.

When Speaker Cannon takes his

moves away from his immediate Vi
cinity, SO as to be beyond reach Of

tribute. In five minutes the marble

Why Ihundar In 90 Loud.

Professor John Trowbridge of
Harvard university says that some
recent experiments he has made in
the Jefferson physical laboratory
show that 'the astounding noise Of
q lightning discharge is largely due
to the dissertation of water vapor''
through the explosion Of the hydro
gen and oxygen gases produced by
such dissertation. In his mimic
lightning experiments Professor
Trowbridge produced torrent OF
huge electric sparks. The noise OF
the discharge was so great that the
operator had to stop his ears with

HUMOR WASTED ON INDIAN.
Mr. Glover Gave Mr.. Grass the Hey"

Sam t. Clover was sent out to Dakota some
years ago by Chicago paper when Sitting
Bull was threatening to go on the war
path. John Grass was another Indian at
that time enjoying temporary fame, re,
lates the New York Tribune
The trouble was soon adjusted, but be.
fore Mr.. Clover left il occurred TO the
army officers that an opportunity for a
meeting between the journalist and the
last-named savage was too good to be
lost. Accordingly, without any hint to
the principals, Capt~ Maus called in the
red man and said:
Mr.. Clover, this is Mr. Grass"
Hey? promptly returned the former,
placing his hand behind his ear.
But the incident convinced me-" Mr..
Clover says, in relating it, that it ls
hopeless to expect to civilize the Indian.
Mr.. Grass never cracked a smile. He
looked at me with a scowl, and didn't even
grunt. He couldn't have taken it any
harder if | had been Mr. Scythe or Col.

CHANGES IN THE CABINET.
William H. Moody viii Become
Attorney General.
Paul Morton, of Illinois, Will Receive
the Navy Portfolio, and Victor
Metcaf Will Succeed Sec
retary Corteiyou.

Washington, June 25.--A sweeping g
change in the cabinet OF President
Roosevelt was announced officially at
the White House yesterday. The an
nouncement came in the form of a
type written statement issued by Sec
retary Loeb, as follows:
THE following cabinet appoint
ments are announced:
William H. Moody, of Massachu-
sets, attorney general.
Paul Morton, of Illinois, secretary
of the navy.
Victor II. Metca1, Of California,
secretary of commerce and labor.
The designations of Secretary
Cortelyou and Attorney General Knox
have been accepted, to take effect
July l."
For two weeks or more it has been
known that these changes We're i'm
pending. When Secretary Cortelyou
was selected by President Roosevelt
to be his campaign manager it was
certain that he would retire from the
cabinet upon his assumption of
duties as chairman of the republican
national committee Just before he
left for Chicago last Wednesday he
placed in the hands of the president
his letter of resignation from the de
partment Of commerce and labor. II
was understood between the president
and him that the resignation was 10
be accepted to take effect at the end
Of the present fiscal year, June 80.
The taking effect of his resignation
at that time would afford him an op-
portunity to complete some work in
the department which he had initiated
and which it was important he should
carry to a conclusion.
One week ago yesterday Attorney
General Knox announced that he
would retire from the department of
justice, probably at the end of the
fiscal year 1t was understood at the
same time that Secretary Moody
would succeed Mr.. Knox as attorney
general. The statement was made
however, that, while the transfer of
Secretary Moody to the department Of
justice was very probable, it was de
pendent, in a measure, on the presi-
dents success in securing such a sue
cessor for him in the navy department
as he desired
Since President Roosevelt has been
in the White House he has made more
than one effort to induce Mr. Morton
to accept a position in his administra-
ton. Feeling that his life work in the
railroad business, in which he has
achieved success, might be impeded
by his acceptance of an official posi-
ton in the government, ne uniformly
declined all such proffers until now
1t is expected that further changes
will take place in the cabinet next
winter. Postmaster General Payne
probably will retire from the cabinet
after the campaign. He will be sue
ceeded by National Chairman Cortel-
you. Secretary Moody will continue
as a member of the cabinet only until
the end of the present administration
on the 4th of March next. when he will
retire to enter upon the practice of
law in Boston. 1t is quite likely that
other changes will take place, even
if Mr.. Roosevelt should be elected
president

EVIL OF sKYscRAPERS.
London Physician Traces Connection
Between Tall Buildings and Physi-
cal Deaeneracy.

cal Deaeneracy.
Do tall buildings cause small heads,
and do small heads mean short lives?
DR.. Warner, who has examined 100,-
900 London children, traces the con
nection between physical degeneracy
and high buildings.
"One of the signs of physical de-
terioration," said DR.. Warner, 'is
that heads are growing smaller, es-
pecially in the case of females. This
form of degeneracy is nearly connect
ed with the erection of high build
ings. When we come to look at the
condition of children in districts
where residences are of great height
and size we find a larger proportion
Of small heads.
81 do not offer any explanation Of
the facts" added Dr. Warner, but if
we find that as a fact these great
dwellings which are being erected
everywhere are the cause of physical
deterioration, what millions of mon
ey will have to be spent in years to
come in pulling them down again!
Want of air and light may per-
haps be the connection between high
buildings and the corresponding de-
terioratiOn. Small headed children
are not confined to the poorer clas-
ses. On the contrary, it is quite as
marked among children of wealthy
people. They are all bound to die
sooner than they normally should"
he added. They are not necessarily
unintelligent. but they have not the
necessary strength for long life"

4 DETROIT TRAGEDY.
A Man Shoots Woman and Is Killed
by Fall of 1865 Feet.

Detroit, Mich, June 25.-Charles
Swayzc, formerly deputy superintend-
ent of the Detroit house of correction,
yesterday shot four times at Miss
Effie Alvord, formerly a matron of the
house of correction, in room on the
eleventh floor of the chamber of
commerce, in the heart of the business
district, after beating her terribly
about the face and head with the
butt of the revolver, frightfully dis
figuring her.
Two bullets took effect, one in the
woman's neck and one in her wrist.
SwayZe then rushed to a window and
attempted to hide himself by climbing
to the ledge, but slipped ana fell TO the
street 1G5 feet below, smashing his
skull to a pulp and breaking every
bone in his body. He was picked up
dead.
]. B. Terry, with whom Miss Alvord
came to the building in an automobile,
conveyed her to a hospital She is eX-
pected to recover.
A few months ago SwayZe and Miss
Alvord were dismissed from the house
Of correction for lovemaking while on
duty. Swayze was infatuated with
her.
Yesterday she came to his Office TO
announce her approaching marriage
to Terry. This infuriated Swayze, who
attacked her and a desperate struggle
followed.
Swayze was 81 years Old, married,
and was a prominent Mason and poll
tician. Miss Alvord is 2S years old. Il
handsome brunette and came to De
troit from Saginaw, Mich.
A letter written by Swayze was
found which, it is said, explains the
tragedy. The letter says that Miss
Alvord and Swayze had been intimate,
that the intimacy was responsible for
SwayZe losing his position at the
house of correction and that Miss AL
word had been bounding him.
