lighter in winter than in summer. The whiteness or white patches assumed in the former season correspond to the fat tracts, SC that these species may be re- garded as subject to the same process. In the northern summer most animals accumulate fat. always in a definite manner as regards the regions where it is deposited. This fat is indicative of deficient oxidation and of sluggist me tabolism, and the process Of its aecu- mutation and atrophy are most marked in autumn, at which season metabolism is therefore lowest. With the onset of winter cold the atrophy may extend to the hairs.

Should there be a change of cost at this time the new hairs are influenced by the same conditions. In very cold countries they come up white all over the animal; in more temperate regions the parts only where fat is thiekest are white.
 Although pigmented hair can thus NatASt So dltOpny dIlu 1OSS or DlBIQelt, l know of no case where the color is re- placed.

Sim liar laws govern a great deal of the dis tribution of the white color throughout the vertebrae phylunl. wherein the con nection between white color and the peripheral fat tracts (thus indicating To- cal atrophy) may be widely traced. Thus domestic animals, nearly all of which are prized most for their power of accommodating fat, exhibit strong tendency to the development of white patches. In both these and in wild an- imals the belly. where occurs the princi- pal fat tract, is the most frequently white part; next follow the rump and parts of the neck, of the limbs and of the head.

4 WAR NOT YET ENDED.

The Boers took their war very seri- ously. Among other disagreeable lega- cies of it was schism in the ranks of the Dutch Reformed Church. Soon af- ter the declaration of peace the synod passed a resolution virtually excemmu- nicating those burghers who surrender ed before the war was over or served as National Scouts. For a long time these non-guerillas, as they were call ed, accepted the ban, but gradually be- gan to make their strength felt in the community. In October last the Church Council of the Ermelo district, in which both sections were strongly represented, passed resolutions 10 the effect that every member of the congregation should enjoy all the privileges of the church; in other words, it refused to

The painter Michetti, who designed the new Italian postage stamps, devis- ed an ingenious detail for the two-cen- tesimi stamps which are in honor of Marconi-a telegraph pole from which the wires hang down useless.

It is curious, says the London Chron- icle, that Nicholas IL. one of the great est of living monarchs, should also be one of the smallest--from the physical point of view; and had he carried out his intention of visiting the King of Italy we should have been treated to the spectacle of a meeting between two of the shortest sovereigns of their time. Yet the czar, however small and slight of stature, has somewhat the advan- tage as regards inches of King Victor Emmanuel IT., who requires to get into the saddle, like Napoleon TIL, before he can be seen at his best. There is noth- ing in the appearance of Nicholas IL. to suggest his sonship to Alexander III, who was almost a giant, or of Vic- tor Emmanuel to recall the burly sol- dierlike figure of his father and his grandfather.

Close at hand are a horse and cart, with a few groups of peasants idling. All this is painted on the smooth side of grain of ordinary white corn. It is necessary to examine it under mi croscope, and it is drawn with perfect accuracy. It does not cover half-inch square.

A house made principally of glass bottles stands in the town of Tonopah, Nevada. and was erected by miner who used the bottles on account of the scarcity os other material. The bottles were placed in rows with the bottom ends outward and are held in place by mud instead of plaster. The corners os the building are composed Of wooden beams. also covered with mud. The walls are about a foot in thickness and are so well constructed that the house is actually more com fortable in winter than many of the other dwellings in Tonopah which are built of other material. It is twenty feet in length, sixteen feet in width and contains two rooms. It was built en- tirely by the owner.

Secretary Leslie M. Shaw is back
from his great stamping tour of the
Pacific states. The news paper reports
from out there indicate that he was
greatly appreciated The people
heard something new and heard it told
in new way when they heard Shaw.
They listened to his plain talk, laugh
ed at his jokes and applauded his
patriotic sentiment. The Los Angles
Times says of him:
On his tongue is dry, quizzical wit
the insight of trained trial lawyer
used to tackling heavy problems and
making them plain as A, b, G.
He has the homely, plain ways OF
speech, the lightning, ingenious apt
ness, the bland plausibility and jocu-
larity in serious matters that stamps
"American" all over the man.
And sticking out from his every
pore is capability-capability.
If there was in the audience one
spouting stump speaker, he must have
thought of his own soapy, mixed
metaphors and gone off to die for
very shame to hear great audience
hanging on the grim, simple facts as
spoken by this thin, elderly lawyer
with the dry wit.

The REPUBLICAN does not often in
dulge in political representations,
but we will venture the guess that
Roosevelt will have 700 majarity in
Audubon county. Four years ago
Mckinley had $40 in the county. Three
years ago Cummins had $50, which
was the high point of the republican
majority in this county. In 1902 the
head of the ticket had 59S and last
year it had sos. This being presiden-
tial year and the party being unitedly
for Roosevelt and he being popular
with the people, his administration
having been successful and he show
ing himself man of honesty, frank
ness and courage, whereas the demo-
cratic candidate does not have the
unanimous support here of the demo-
cratic party and is an uncertain guam
tity as to his opinions but is thought
to be under the control of the trusts,
for these and many other obvious
reasons we look for this county tC
give the biggest republican majority
In its history.

Biennial Elections.

The frequency of elections in this
country has been the great deterring
influence to the many unworthy fell
lows who managed by hook or crook
to get into Office. Office holding al
ready has too many temptations. We
should not make boodling and corrup-
ton easier by putting the elections
farther apart. The people should be
interested at least once a year in pub
lie affairs. -Atlantic Telegraph.
We do not understand how frequent
elections would very much prevent un-
worthy fellows from getting into Of
fee. We supposed the more frequent
elections were, the oftener they would
have of getting in. We do not under
stand why elections once in two years
would give office holders more tempta-
tions. We do not understand how
elections once in two years would make
"boodling and corruption ersier. y
We supposed that If elections do
bring boodling and corruption that
the less frequent the elections are the
less opportunity there would be for
said boodling and corruption. AS to
being interested in public affairs at
least once year, we contend the Tel.
egraph Is wrong If it assumes the peo-
pie are only interested in public af-
fairs when an election is on hand.
We recognize the Telegraph is gov
erned by worthy motives, but we think
it has reasoned wrongly and arrived
at wrong conclusions. 1t is not pro-
posed to make longer the terms of Of
flee, of township, county or state, but
elect the officers all in one year in
stead of half in one and half in the
next AS they all serve two years
anyway, why go to the expense and
trouble of an election every year when
an election every other year would
answer every purpose?
AS to the Telegraph's assumption
that corruption would be more preva-
lent under an every other year cleo
ton than an every year election, we
thiak such conclusion is wholly I'M
warranted. We have good reason to
think it would be less. The political
grafters all want elections every year.
