SUN LOsINeITs HEAT.

DROPERLY ENOUGH. some foreign
scientists have taken this particu-
larry hot spell Of weather as the right
time 10 exploit a theory that the sun is
losing its heat. They tell US that the
sun, within the last few years. has
taken a decided drop in temperature
Eventually. they tell US, the earth will
be as cold and as barren of vegetation
as the moon.
Professor Charles I. Doolittle of the
University of Pennsylvania is one of
the American believers in the theory.
Professor Doolittle says:
suppose there should be a drop of.
say, 10 per cent iH the temperature of
the sun. One immediate effect would
be that Labrador and Canada could not
be inhabited. The people there would
be obliged to move down into New Eng
land The animals and trees left be-
hind would be frozen to death. Only
the lower forms Of vegetable life could
exist there.
As the heat Of the sun diminishes so
the inhabitable zone viii grow small
er. north and south. until at last only
a little band win exist around
the earth at the tropics. This band.
too, VIII in time fade away. As
the earth grows colder and cold
er the inhabitants VIII doubtless be-
come smaller. The small stature of the
Esquimaux is due to the rigor of the
land in which they live. The inhabi-
tants of what are now the tropics will
one day be like the Esquimaux.r
The reason these awful surmises and
speculatiOns. for they are nothing but
gurmises and speCuIations, are made
at this time is undoubtedly because
We cannot look upon eternal winter
with as much apprehension at this sea
son as in other seasons. With the
mercury lowering around the nineties
we are inclined to wish the sun would
eooF eff a great deal more rapidly. to.
wish that it might freeze IN night. as
it were.
However. for the benefit Of those who
might worry about this matter. even in
the summer time, it is but fair to say
that the most pessimistic scientists

tinction at somewhere around thel year

THE vIcTIM OF FRIENDS.


w ONDERS WILL NEVER CEASE.
~ especially in Utah politics. Here
Is Hon. Reed SmOot, for instance, who
has been accused Of being IN politics,
who has in fact had the credit or
Odium. as you please. of being the whole
Republican party in this state Until
he last day or two. he has been pic
tgred as naming all the candidates Ia
advance, fixing up the primaries. bat-
ting his foes and rewarding his friends,
and generally assuming the preroga-
tives Of the Pooh Bah Of Provo.
Not only has he had the credit. or
cdium. OF all this. but his fool friends
have claimed even more for him than
the public generally was disposed 10
ooncede. De Noisy, for instance. is re
l'orted TO have been armed with Gre
dentials as plenipotentiary and am
bassadOT extraordinary to Sanpete AMI
The region south thereof. which ere
Gentials purported to come from Reed
Smoot, senator and apostle. calling on
the faithful to get in line for Cutler.
Smoot, Sutherland & Co De Noisy
didn't hesitate 10 say that Smoot was
the only real Republican party in the
state. with a first mortgage on all the
offices and power to foreclose about
convention time.
Then there was Glove. James Glove.
?. N, who wandered down into the
lava beds along the Sewer river ana
6ot tangled up in an argument on be-
falf OF Smoot and feminist Kearns.
James, it VIII be remembered. wrote
IN open letter to the press. although
rs a former newspaperman he ought
10 have known better In this letter.
Glove compared Smoot to Mark Hanna
and openly avowed the senator's right
10 take a vigorous part Initial pol
tics Il he wanted to. Cloves letter
probably forced the issue, it was so
bald en- assertion os the Provo sen
etor's designs.
Whatever the reason. Senator Smoot
repudistes all that De Noisy has said
snd all that Glove claimed or may
claim He, the senator. is not i'm pol
ftics. doesn't know what the word
means. and has only recently learned
that his enemies accuse him Of being 4
politician In essence the senator is
exactly right Those who have had oc-
oasion TO notice him at work viii agree
that he is no politician and that Glove.
De Noisy. Callister Pussy Jimmy
anderson ct al belong in the same
category.
It IS, of course, an extraordinary CO.
incidence that Smoot should be sus-
rected Of inspiring the men who have
presumed TO speak out loud for him.
Glove for instance. lives in the same
town with SmOot, works with him.
boosts for him and might reasonab bly,
be supposed to know what Smoot was
up to- De Noisy is IN much the same
category. Cauister got out Of the GU
hernatoriaI race very suddenly because
he had an impression Smoot wanted
him to quit and let Cutler run.
But then great men have often been
betrayed by their friends and Smoot
Is evidently no exception. He is the
victim of circumstances and under no.
circumstances would he have anybody
believe he could stoop TO the organiza-
tion OF a machine for his own pu.-
poses.

THE OLDEST MAN IN AMERICA
Tells How He Escaped the Terrors OF
MANY Winters by Using Pe-ru-na.

This centenarian is an ardent friend OF
Peruna, having used It many years.
In speaking of his good health and
extreme old age, Mr.. Brock says:
"After man has lived in the world
as long as L have, he ought TO have
found out a great many things by ex-
perience. l think have done so.
"One of the things have found

proper thing for ailments that

and diarrhea.

A short time ago, by request, Uncle
Isaac came to Waco and sat for his pic
ture. In his hand he held a stick cut
from the grave Of General Andrew
Jackson, which has been carried by him
ever since. Mr.. Brock Is dignifled old
gentleman, showing few signs of de-
crepitude. His family Bible is still pre-
served, and il shows that the date of his
birth was written III years ago.
Surely few words from this remarka-
BILE old gentleman, who has had ia
years of experience TO draw from, would
be interesting as well as profitable. A
lengthy biographical sketch is given Of
this remarkable old man in the Waco
Herald, December 4, 1898. A still
more pretentious biography of this, the
oldest living man, illustrated with
double column portrait, was given the
readers of the Dallas Morning News,
dated December IL, 1898, and also the
Chicago-Tmes Herald Of same date.
