There is no burrowing animal which
works with more intelligence than the
prairie dog. He never commits the err
ror of making his mound in place
which may be submerged by water. In
a western Kansas town a small boy
caught young dog and fixed home
for it in the cellar OF his fathers house
The dog went to work almost at once
to dig a tunnel to the open air. 1t
went down under the stone wall of the
cellar and up to the surface at point
about 100 feet from the house. But it
found that It's point of exit was In the
middle Of well travelled road. 1t went
back and dug another gallery in an
oblique direction from the first, emerg-
ing In plot Of grass. The earth car
ried back into the cellar In this digging
would more than ill a wagon box
For several years the dog lived on the
premises, making the cellar its base of
operations, but going to the open air at
will through its gallery Kansas City

clothe. and Heat.

When we speak of warm or cool
clothing we use as absolute metaphor
as when we talk of the sun going down
or the rosy fingered dawn" Clothes
can communicate neither heat nor cold
to the body. Fur is not warm nor lin
en- cool, except as they serve as con-
ductors for the heat generated by the
body itself Fur and wool are excel
lent nonconductors of heat-that Is,
they do not allow the heat Of the body
to escape SO easily as some other mate
rtals-and the reason why fur Is one
of the poorest conductors of heat Is
not, as might be supposed, so much be
cause of its thickness and weight as
because of the air which is mingled
with or confined between its f1bers,
confined air being one of the most eff
fectual nonconductors Of heat known.

WOOD TO BIZ CHEAP.

During the past few days, farmers
have brought considerable wood into
town but there does not appear to be a
very good sale for it. Prices are lower
than they have been for two years past
and it is thought will continue lower
during the entire winter. There are sew
eral reasons for this. In the first place
local hardware dealers say that they
have sold more coal stoves during the
present fall than they have for the past
ten years. In the second place nearly
all the large manufacturing concerns
have laid in supply of coal for the
winter, leaving thousands of cords of
slabs on the market for the smaller con-
sumner. Thirdly, all the large buildings
in the city whose furnaces have hereto
fore been fired with wood will this win
ter burn coal. cutting off the sale of at
least / 200 cords of hardwood and the
county buildings all being supplied from
last winters purchases will leave at least
200 more cords on the farmers hands.
Fourthly, the farmers, in anticipation o.
high prices, last spring cut an unusually
large amount of wood which they must
dispose of before it decays. In the fifth
place sawmills have had an unusually
long season of saving and people are
well supplied with slab wood and fac
tory edgings. The farmer, like any 9TH
or producer, cannot be criticised for
getting all he can out of his labor, but
the prices of the past two winters made
it manifest to the man who buys wood
from wages of day labor that he must
seek cheaper fuel and they are now buy
ing coal, those who could not afford
hard coal stove are burning soft coal at
sc. 90 ner ton.

AN analysis of the official returns of
the recent election in the state of Wis
cOnsin show many interesting things
Roosevelt carried the state by l53, $50, yet
LaFollette's plurality was only 1882,
or l0l ,523 behind the ticket Under
ordinary circumstances such a falling
off in votes for any candidate in this
state would defeat that candidate, and
with the same ratio kept up, two years
from now the half breed element will
be stamped. 1t was thought that the
high water mark of republican plural
ties had been reached when Mckinley
carried the state in 1900 by 10000, yet
his figures are this year exceeded by
$4,000. j. j. Jenkins, congressman
elect of the Eleventh district, received a
majority of $4,000, the largest ever
given congressman in this state, and
w. f. Brown, of this, the Tenth district
is returned to congress by plurality of
5000. Ordinarily, a stencil stirred up in
the state treasurer's Office such as was
done while John Kempf was treasurer,
would defeat party, yet he ran well
with his ticket, falling few votes be-
hind the rest of the ticket and over 3d.
600 ahead of the governor. The pri,
mary election law was carried by 49,

Classes In Turkey.

The people of Turkey are classified
as three classes-the wealthy, the peo-
pie of ordinary means and the poor
The wages which the poor are pad
range from 20 to Is cents day. Some
Of the girls who work in the silk manu-
factories are paid as low as 8 and Z
cents for hard days work. The ma
jority Of the inhabitants Of Turkey,
by the way, are employed in the manu-
facture OF silk. Farming is carried on
very little, which is due TO the small
profits which it brings and to the
scarcity Of machinery. There are many
wealthy people in Turkey, some Of
whom are said to be worth $2,000,e0O.
and they spend freely.

The Gruntinx or.

One of the largest of the mammalia
Of Tibet is the yak, or grunting OK.
Standing between five and six feet
high at the shoulders, the bulk of this
strange looking creature is not little
exaggerated by the enormous growth
Of hair upon the lower part of the body
and tail. Beneath the outer coat, more
over, there is layer Of fine wool
known as 'pushim,' which is highly
priced for the making of cloth.

Could Distinguish Tread of . Flea.
The Quickness which some persons
possess In distinguishing the smaller

Of the. writer has declared he could
readily perceive the motion of a flea,
when on his nightcap, by the sound
emitted. by the machinery Of his leap
ing powers.
However extraordinary this may ap-
pear, we find a similar statement is
given in the ingenious work upon in
sects by Kirby and Spence, who say, II
know of no other insect the tread Of

cept indeed the flea whose steps a wo-
man assured me she always hears
when it passes over her nightcap, and
