What "A Thing to Crook:

1t seems that there are few things
about the elbow joint that quite num-
Der of us have overlooked. According
to man named Potter, who wrote a
book on anatomy: ut is a ginglymus
articulation formed by the lower end
of the humerus with The greater sig
mold cavity of the ulna and the head
of the radius. It's synovtal membrane
is reflected over the ligaments, and dips
down between the surfaces of the SUI
perior radioulnar articulation. It's arte-
ries are derived from the anastomotical
magma, radial, ulnar and interosseous
recurrent superior and inferior pro-
funda arteries. Its nerves are branches
of the ulnar and the musculo-cutane-
Gus. It has four Iigaments, anterior.
from the inner condyle and anterior
surface of the humerus to the orbicular
fgament of the radius and the coronoid
process of the ulna- External lateral
from the external condyle of the hu-
merus to the erb;cnlar of the radius.
Internal lateral. from the internal con-
dyle Of the humerus to the coronofd and
oiecranon processes of the ulna."-

the second act OF a play, and by-and-by
a meek-looking young man with dust

should have received no answer to his
call, and after an appropriate pause
should have gone on with monologue

MOUNTAINS OPALINE FOREST.
Trees and Logs Converted Into az
Agate That Has COIors of
the Opal.

DR.. Merrill, curator of geology Of the
national museum, lately returned
from tour of Montana and the north
west, where he gathered one Of the
most interesting collections that has
coached the museum for many years.
Most people have heard of the petri-
fed forest Of Arizona, but few are
aware of the existence of another pet
rified forest in Montana of equal ex-
tent and more remarkable than the one
In the southwest, says a Washington
report.
The Arizona petrifled forest Is Pc
culiar for the reason that entire trees
and logs have been turned to agate by
the action of the elements. That Of
Montana is more remarkable for the
reason that the trees and logs have
been changed to opal, instead of agate,
making a peculiar and beautiful orna-
mental stone.
This is a very curious geological
phenomenan.
It is not unusual to find logs and tree
converted to agate, chalcedouy, silicate
and quartz, but aside from the Montana
petrified forest, there is probably not
another example of opalized wood in
the world.
DR.. Merrill brought back a large
number of specimens, which are to be
placed on exhibition. The collection
consists of sections of logs and limbs,
in many of which the grain of the
wood is discernible. The colors are
white, blush, smoky. black, and in
every case translucent. The fact that
the wood has been changed to opal is
apparent at first glance, even to lay
beopie, the beautiful coloring and sheen
of the opal being unmistakable. This
opalized wood takes a beautiful pol
ish. and a mantelpiece. table top or
soda fountain made of it would out
rank in beauty the finest onyx or mar
BILE.
DIR. Merrill also obtained some Of the
largest crystals Of smoky quartz ever
seen in the museum. One measures two
feet In length, and another is on the
way from Montana that is even larger.

Argus~Leade-:: The threshing re-
turns which are coming to the Argus
Leader from every part Of the state
indicate that the damage done to the
wheat by the black rust has been tre-
mendously overestimated. In some
places, the damage has been at least
half, and in few places more, but on
the other hand many fields escaped
entirely, and these are threshing out
a good yield. Everywhere comes the
report of heavy yields of oats, barley
and rye of which grains the acreage
this year in South Dakota Is fortunat-
ly very heavy. The Argus-Leader is
firmly convinced that when all the
threshing is done, the money realized
from the crop will be larger than 1t
has been in recent years: and that even
the wheat, considered as a state
crop, will sell for much more than it
brought last year. There is nothing
in the whole situation to give any
reason for Encouragement. Trade
this fall in all the South Dakota CEN
ters ought to be good, and money fair
ly easy. -.

WHAT PACKERS DEMAND.

CHICAGO, July 2S.-"We have an
agreement with Mr.. Donnelly's organi-

have failed to live up to, and under, the
circumstances we do not care to make
any further agreements with them

signed by the representatives Of the
packers and handed to the members of

two bodies. held at the request Of the
state board in an endeavor to bring
about another meeting between the
packers and the strikers.
Hear Arguments.
The packers received the state board
courteously and listened to their ar
guments for peaceable adjustment OF
the difficulty. The announcement that
er peace negotiations with the strik-
ers was handed to the board by Arthur
Meeker and Thomas Connor.
While from their statement it would
appear that the packers are opposed to
meeting the strikers again on any terms
such is not the case.

$4,000 FALL RIVER MILL
HANDS GO ON STRIKE

FALL RIVER, Mass, July 25.-The
first day of the strike OF $4,000 cotton
mill operatives here passed quietly and
so in all probability, will pass the sue
ceeding days for the reason that the
opposition to the strike on the part
of the operators is SO slight as to be
hardly feature.
The mill owners and their operatives
are determined in their positions and
the outcome is hard to predict. With
the strikers it is a question of how
long they can go without their wages
and exist on strike benefits.
On the part of the owners it is a
matter of how long they can afford
to have their mills closed down. AT
present the cotton and cloth markets
are not at their best.
When the mill gates in Fall River
were opened this morning less than
800, conservatively estimated, out OF
an army Of some 5000 operatives, re-
ported for work.

DENVER, Col, July 2s.-In the Grip
lished in the Denver papers there daily
appears the following item or some
similar one: "There is something about
the market which we cannot under
stand, as the output of the district is
almost as great as it has been, and
there is no good reason for stocks be-
ing as low as they are"
The above is taken from the report
of Friday. The following is from yes
terday's report:
The week closed in very bad shape,
there being no apparent excuse for
such dull market.
There are now very few Colorado
stocks called on the exchange, al
though ore developments In Cripple
Creek and other camps were never
greater. In this connection the fol-
lowing is Significant:
Capital is Fearful.
One of the leading capitalists Of
Denver had closed a deal with New
York parties in which he was to re-
ceive 100000. The money was to be
deposited on Thursday last Instead
received a telegram stating in sub

ed in Colorado and the civil authori-
ties were able to preserve the peace,
the parties had decided that they
would not invest money in the state.

the following item of Cripple Creek

Nine men were tried before the mill

President fuckers Address.
What I nave to say is in the nature
of some reflections upon the mind
Of the wag- -earner-an expression
which borrow from the opening SEN
tence Of the recent work by John
Mitchell on Organized Labor: THE
average wage Garner has made up his
mind that he must remain wage
Garner" I would mot take this gener-
alization in any unqualified way The
author has himself qualified it by the
use of the word average But when
louuEcu " IT'S 1OWeSL lcIHlS 1t is, i
thing, the most serious statement
which has been made concerning the
social life of the country. for it's pur-
ports to be the statement Of a mental
fact. If Mr.. Mitchell had said that
in his opinion the conditions affect
ing the wage Garner were becoming
fixed conditions, that would have been
statement of grave import. but quite
different from the one made. Here
is an Interpretation of the mind OF
the wage-earner, from one we'll quail
fled to give an Interpretation Of it, to
the effect that the average wage
Garner has reached a state of mind
in which he accepts the fixity of his
condition. Having reached this state
of mind the best thing which can
be done is TO- organize the wage-earn-
er into system through which he
may gain the greatest advantage pos
sible within his accepted limitations
I am not disposedsto take issues with
the conclusion Of tile argument Il am
a firm believer. in trade unions), but j
do not like the major premise of the
argument. I. should be sorry to be-

fact, I believe that Ne. should address
