Whatever may he said in expiana-
ton of the motives OF Russia, the
fact remains that through her good
officers We were able to avoid a
foreign war. Had it MT brcu for the
departure of the two Russian fleets
for American waters, the United
States would have been compelled to
fight English ships, manned by Eng
llsh men, perhaps under the English
flag, If not, then under the stars and
bars of the Confederacy. We have
the pride to believe that ever then
we should have been victorious; but
at what a COST To Alexander III and
all his posterity the government of
Washington and Lincoln will owe a
debt of everlasting gratitude. The
present expressions of sympathy by
our people for japan are untimely
and base ingratitude. Russia has
meyer done that which relieved us
from the obligation Of 1868; until
now we have had no opportunity of
showing our appreciation. How
miserably we have failed is apparent
after a little reflection.

Railroad Building Promised.

newspaper special dated at Sioux
City that the Chicago Il
Northwestern railroad company is
preparing to extend its line of road
from Bonesteel, ia this state, along
the west bank of the Missouri river
from Pierre.
This information states that the
surveyors are now in the field stak.
ing out the route and that a portion
of the construction work will be &C
complished during the present year.
The route suggested is not an easy
one, as the road must cross .all the
rivers flowing down to the MISSOURI
from the west between Bonesteel and
Fort Pierre, unless the line should
follow the MISSOURI bottom, which
furnishes a hazardous road bed.
If such an expensive road is to be
built it is deemed by its projectors
OF more than local Importance. 1t
is plain enough to be seen that it
would take all the cattle business
from the South Dakota range
country west Of the Missouri as far
as Pierre, depriving the Milwaukee
system of much of it's traffic
1t is futher stated that the North
western will build from Pierre to the
Black Hills as soon as it's Bonesteel
extention reaches For. Pierre. The
traffic of the Hills and range region
would thus be diverted from the
eastern half of the state and carried
far from South Dakota.-Sioux Falls

HOW BONES GROW.
The Evolution From Cartilage Is
slow and Complicated.

Bone, In its earliest stages called
temporary cartilage, has fbrous tissue
as it's primary foundation. The chlef
uses of bones are TO protect delicate
organs and to form a framework FOR
the body, by which, in combination
with the muscles, the body is moved.
AS growth advances stronger me-
chanical support becomes necessary,
and, as s~caffolding Is gradually re-
moved in the course Of building, so
each part Of the soft cartilage is clear
ed away piece by piece, at first by the
absorption Of its central part and then
by the deposit of a few particles OF
bony matter to take its place.
The arteries next enlarge and deposit
%granules of calcareous phosphate,
which are laid down, particle by par
tcle, in regular lines, so as to form
continuous fbers, which cross connect
and unite from different centers ana
by definite laws.
Each distinct bone is thus formed
from ossifc or bone forming centers,
which unite by n natural affinity. DR..
Roget has compared this process to the
method by which a sculptor models
first in plastic material the form to be
expressed in marble.

SEEING DOUBLE.
Row Intoxicating Liquor Acts Upon
the Eye Muscles.

ROv Intoxicating Liquor Acts Upon
the Eye Muscles.
Among the earliest consequences OF
strong drink must be placed the lack
of proper coordination of all muscular
movements. This applies not only TO
the limbs, as is seen in the staggering
gait, but to all parts in a healthy body
which act In sympathy.
Certain parts of the retinas of both
eyes possess what are called sympa-
thetic areas, so that though each eye
has its own image, yet by continued
experience these are transmitted to
the brain as only one object. Should
the muscles by any cause be unequal
to regulate the associated movements
the images of external objects are
thrown on unsympathetic areas of the
retina, and the result Is that they APP
pear double.
This may easily be tried in the
healthy eye by squeezing n eyeball
slightly, when the images will fall on
areas not usually sympathetic, and two
objects appear instead of one, or If
a finger be pointed upward about two
feet away, and a candle be placed far
Their off still, then the eyes, looking
closely at the finger, will perceive two
images of the distant candle.

n TRADE WINDS.
How They Original. and the Reason
of Their COnstancy.

~ AhCy VIII a. aAo khV ~
of Their COnstancy.
The constancy of trade winds is due
to the permanence Of the conditions
which rule them. AS the heated air at
the equator ascends, surface winds set
IN from north and south and, uniting,
ascend in their turn and flow off in OPP
posite directions.
AS the velocity of the earth's revoiu-
lions from east to west is much greater
at the equator than at the poles wind
blowing along its surface to the equa-
tor is constantly arriving at places
which have a higher velocity than it
self; hence 1t Is retarded and must lag
behind, and under the influence Of two
opposing forces it is compelled to take
an intermediate direction, so that what
was originally a north wind is defect
ed and flows southwest, while what
started as a south wind becomes north
west.
From the great service they have
rendered to navigation these reliable
winds are called trade winds. 1t is in
q wide ocean, such as the Pacific, that
they have their full scope.

How Anthracite Coal Wa. Formed

Biologists are of the opinion that
bituminous and anthracite Goals were
formed during the same period and I'M
der like conditions. Originally they
were all bituminous, but during the
violent c~ontortions and ~upheavals of
the earth's crust at the close OF the
carboniferous age the bituminous Goals
involved in that disturbance were
changed by heat and pressure and the
consequent expulsion of volatile matter
from bituminous to anthracite.
