 Illinois. It Is recorded that when she
 was two hours old she looked about

 Yet, it was many weary year be-, fore Adelaide Johnson learned to take the humorous view of things. She

 the age of ten she did the sewing for

When she was sixteen she went to St. Louis to the art school. She l learned drawing, modelling and wood teen the gifted girl, lonely, poor, filled with fire that consumed her day by day, found herself apparently at the | end of her rope. She was in St. Louis without funds or friends who could help her. She might return to the farm and give up everything that made | life worth living, but all her soul re- beIled at that. She could die, but she could never give up
 At length a time actually came when

 She could not achieve. therefore she
 would die. An acquaintance gave her
 shelter for a night. She thought all night long and decided to throw her

 The young men of the United states today are as decrepit as their grand fathers were at the age Of 70 years, due entirely to the strenuous life and the Introduction of the cinder path, the baseball diamond and the football field into tbe recognized courses in the col- Ieses of the country. At least so say members of the American Medical As- sociation in convention here.
 Members of the section of the prac- flee of medicine devoted much of their time to a discussion of the physical deterioration of the youth of America. The 'strenuous life" 1t was declared. had resulted in the alarming growth of an iucurable disease that was sap Ming the vitality of the young men.

In the woman's building of the Chi cago Worlds fair visitors noticed beautiful quartet of busts' in marble. They were the chiseled heads or ELIZA Iucretia Mott and Isabella Beecher Hooker. They were full of majesty land power and of a beauty which showed that the sculptor had seen through the imperfect flesh mask ana perceived the dominant soul faculty of each of her subjects. If these famous women had had a mans opportunity in the world here would have been Eliza- beth Cady Stanton, the statesman Lucretia Mott, the saint and preacher; and reform leader; Isabella Beecher Hooker, typical Beecher, intensely human, surprisingly brainy.
 The artist who modelled these re- markable busts was Adelaide Johnson, a slender little woman who appears all her she seems spirit with just enough fleshly embodiment to hold her down and keep her working. Mrs. stanton and Miss Anthony were the beloved friends of the sculptor. At her we'd ding she stood between their two busts. They were her bridesmaids she laughingly said.
 The quality distinguishing Adelaide Johnson's portrait busts is the soul tn- depreciation in them. The artist sees what IS pest III DGT SuDJcClt tHOdbh AA be hidden from the ordinary ken, and expresses it in the sculptured face. She has made a notable bust of General John A Logan, although she may be said to be-, par excellence. the sculptor of women. Famous ladies have given her sittings, among them May Wright Sewall, Lillian Whiting and Helen Gar dener. In her studio in New York Mrs. Johnson has a remarkable marble medallion portrait of Susan B. Anthony It Is a perfect character sketch of the great woman champion.
 Mrs. Johnson's studio itself has been called the white nest" Its furnishing are largely white. The marbles and even the restful couch in the corner are covered with snow white drapery At home Mrs. Johnson is ever clad iI delicate and dainty white fin Q fashion of robe she herself evolved-flowing easy, classic. yet likewise convenien for work.

 The influence of health upon mental activity has been receiving attention from Prof. Robert MacDougall of New York. From the traits of five Ameri can men of science. as estimated by twelve independent judges. he infers | that executive ability. with breadth and sanity of mind, vary directly with physical health, but is inclined to sus- pect that general mental efficiency Is promoted by conditions of unsound health. The central nervous system Is | DC rhaps over-developed at the expense of the rest of the body. Original mem 1 tat endowment, quickness and clearness of grasp appear to be independent of Ifhe health The virtues of will--ener- | eN. courage, capacity for leadership Han of rapidly with extreme weakness, | hut are often highly developed in me dium health. Reasonableness, unself- | isllness and the like appear to belong neither to the strong nor to the frail O. nervously unstable. Emotional sem sibility and refinement reach maxi mum in the delicate and a minimum
 in the strong.
 | Magnetizable alloys from practically Incn-ma gnetic elements is the interest l ling and surprising report of F. Heus- Her An alloy of copper with 26.5 per Icent of manganese and 14.6 per cent
 oI,t .iS, Q lshowed strong susceptibility to mag Inetization which was increased by boil lima In toluol for two days. With the laIuminum reduced to 3.6 per cent. the alloy ceased to be magnetic. Tin in place of the aluminium had similar ef- feet. and arsenic. antiGlony bismuth
 and boron also yielded magnetizable
 alloys.
 The erstwhile ridiculed idea of the ltiansmutation of the elements Is likely
 to become a subject of experiment by
 sober twentieth century chemists. Sir Vim Ramsay suggests that the im-
 mcnse energy of radium may be made
 to cause constructive chemical change
 such, for example, as that of bromne
 into oxdine.
 l The chief causes of rain are stated tbv the Hon. F. A. Rollo Russell to be only four, and in paper to the Royal
 Meteorological Society he describes the Following: CD The forced ascent of
 moist air by the slopes of mountains CD A mass of air invading rather sud- ldeniy another mass moving from an Iopposlte direction and maintaining it's flow below the opposing current which lit displaces. (3) The ascent of more or Hess moist air through heavier and Icolder air to a height where condensa- ton of vapor takes place, increased lrndiation of heat towards space. and loften electrical developments produc- ling further condensation, increase of tt tmperature. and renewed ascent with th,, same result.

A novel device for making visible the variability in the revolutions of an engine. has been brought out by Dr. lRerkitz, an Austrian. and consists of a heavy disc or fy-wheel mounted loosely on the engine shaft and driven bv the latter through an elastic mag lnetic counting, no springs being used.

An even temperature is a chief re- ouisite for magnetic observatories. A weeks record at Cheltenham Observa- tory showed a range inside of only about one degree. but outside the range had been about fifty degrees. Multiple walls packed with thick layers of dry sawdust are the means taken to secure this heat insulation. Great quantities or sawdust are necessary. the Stika Ob- servatory having used 5000 sacks.

Poisoning by white of egg has been reported by J. R. Clemens in a boy of 14 months. The addition of the white of an egg to his usual milk diet caused him to be suddenly seized with al attack of nettlerash, with greatly swollen face and ears. and alarming g collapse. Injections of strychnine seem ed to rescue him from death. A repe- tition of the milk and egg meal brought a similar attack a few days later. a third attack followed the eating of custard, and after eating gingerbread in which two eggs had been used the cnilds feet became extremely swollen ard covered with purple spots.

 A new German antifriction metal, also recommended for dynamo brushes, consists of copper intersected with par ticles of graphite. The material is pro- duced by sprinkllng a plate with graph ite and dipping into an eleetrolytic bath until a deposit of copper covers the graphite, then withdrawing, sprink- ling again with graphite, and re-intro- ducing into the bath, the operations be- ing continued until the required diam eter is reached. Friction on the alloy produced in this way slowly releases the particles of graphite, which then get as a lubricant

The Democracy In extremIs.

The democratic party in many
parts Of the north is nearer dissolu-
tion than most people imagine. Its
ablest men are in retirement. Hun
dreds of thousands of its most intel
ligent supporters have been forced
for 30 long a time to act with the
republicans that they no longer pre-
tend to affiliate with it. In only a
few states is there anything like a
genuine democratic organization, and
even in these the men in control of
the party know not at what instant
some predatory bands of socialists
and populists may displace them.
There is absolutely no hope and
there is no prospect of national dem
ocratic reorganization and rehsbilita-
tion except as the southern states
shall with practical unanimity take
control Of matters at st. Louis, and
with uncompromising devotion to
principle and precedent, cast out all
the elements which have brought
the party to It's present degradation

DON'T WANT IT

The following from he Arizona Bull letin deals with the proposition com ing fIom Clifton and Morenci for the division of Graham county by the coming legislature:
 As is usual during the months pre- ceding the cOnvenIng of the legisla- ture. certain persons in the upper county are trying to work up senti- ment in favor of county division. The desire for a separate county by the people of that section does not appear to be very general or urgent. still it is not probable that any special objec- tions could be made to such an arrange rent by the individual citizen. The attitude Of the mining companies has not yet been announced and their ob '. jection or favor will doubtless deter mine tho matter finally. Sound eco- homie judgment would seem to indi- cate the present arrangement is the best that can be devised. The county is now strong in population and wealth and while the two principal districts are divided by a long stretch of noun. tain and desert it is evident that rail connections will not be much longer lacking. Divided. two weak and un- important counties would result-s condition in every way undesirable. Let old Grsha m with her manifold re- sources remain intact. Nothing could be more injurious and unwise than the carving knife applied at this time. Let the empire alone.

The slump in the price of the Greene Consolidated copper stock Monday was unexpected. It tumbled more than one third in value during the day. This reminds us that the price of stocks in New York is not always based on conditions of properties
 which are the basis of the sureties. At Cannea it is known that conditions are better than ever before, so far as economical and successful manage ment is concerned. Copper is away above normal price and the Greene stock drops keI plunk from s34. 50 to 22 in one day. It is safe to say that MT. Greene and his associates were not slow in buying up this stock at $22.
