any man could wish. But with the body
of Smithson there it is suggested that Il
would be equally fitting that the bodies
of other scientists who have won grea:
distinction in the government service
should also find resting place there be-
side him.
III a short time the Smithsonian build
ing will no longer be necessary for the
purposes of the institution. Congress
is preparing to erect a new home for the
National museum which is connected
with the Smithsonian, and this will af-
ford ample room for all the Smithson-
ian Offices. The original building, one
of the architectural ornaments of WASH
ingtOn. will then be available for aEy
purpose to which the government may
see fit to put it, and the scientific men
who have been closely identified with
its work for many years will do all they
can to have it transformed into a me-
mortal hall, to contain the tombs Of their
most eminent associates.
Alexander Graham Bell is interested
in the project. So is Prof. Langley. A
beginning would be made with the body
of Smithson. Then the bodies of Henry,
Baird and Goode would follow, and soon
the thing would be an accomplished
fact.
1t is not intended that the plan shall
include memorials to men who have
grown great in politics or war. That
would enlarge too far the possible list.

Corn. Corn. Corn.

Were the corn of the seven states load.
ed on wagons, 80 bushels to the load
and placed so the heads of the horses
would come just to the rear end-board
of the preceding wagon, and it were pos
sible for this line of march to cover the
land and sea, an average years crop
from these seven corn-growing states
would make a complete belt of corn wag-
ons six times around the world. Place
the crop of 1902 in cars holding 500
bushels each, and allow 40 feet for car
and coupling. and we would have a con-
tinuous freight train SS.37S miles long.

Sir Hervey Ralston, Honorable and
elear-souled himself, incapable of SUBJ
terfuge or pretense, was never ready
to imagine evil of any shape in others.
And if during the weeks that followed
it seemed to him that Adelaide grew
more and more impressive, while a
spirit of unrest had seized upon his
nephew, he stFove to see no manner
| of connection.
| And what about Hugh?
At one and the same time had the
gates OF heaven and hell been opened
to him, and he reveled in his bliss,
| only to writhe in the agony involved.
| No words on the subject had he and
Adelaide exchanged, thus far they had
been loyal to Sir Hervey. But Hugh
smiled bitterly as he acknowledged TO
himself the limitations of that loyalty
None knew better than he the sub
tlety of loves confessions.
On the evening of the last day in
March he waited nervously for his un-
! cle's approach to the smoKing-room,
which had been the scene of many a
confidential talk before his voyage to
New Zealand. Sir Hervey's step
seemed to have lost its lightness, or so
it seemed to Hugh, as he listened to
it's drawing near. He was later, too,
in joining him than was his wont.
Had any suspicion crossed his mind
Were his thoughts of next weeks hap
piness unalloyed, or were they shad-
owed by a vague yet ucMistakable
cloud?
Hugh Ralston wondered, but said
nothing as his uncle entered the room.
The latter, with his usual precision
and neatness, lit cigar. seated him
self, and was soon engrossed in the
pages Of the evening paper.
Thankful to escape the customary
evening chat, Hugh paced monotonous-
ly up and down the room, with tenn
pies throbbing and the blood surging
through his veins. How could he
breach the subject that tonight must
be faced once and for all?
My dear boy" said Sir Hervey at
length, glancing over the top of his pa
per, could you not sit down? You
seem restless tonight"

Silence reigned for full five minutes
a silence that Ralston broke by saying
with the composure born of despair:

There will be total of 1,547 delegates
In that body. and about one-half of them

stunned the leadership Of the Parker men
In the State on account of his extensive

of the Hearst men have been aimed at
him. eliminating in efforts to ruin his

I Before leaving for French Lick, Taggart

The Democrats OF Indiana said he,

delegation to st. Louis for him. Senti-
mont Is crystalizing against Hearst, and
he Is not as strong as he WIS when he
FIRST entered upon his Indiana campaign.
r."One OF the reasons for the change of
sentiment since Hearst's first invasion of
the State is found in the methods that
have been adopted by his managers.
They have appealed to classes. rather than
to men as Democrats. and have tried to
make the impression that there is a move
ment in union-labor circles all over the
fnaries in this city there were more labor
