runaway last night with his mule to am.
They were hauling hay and the load
the mules were drawing tipped over
near Shearon's crossing. mile east OF
the depot. The man started home
empty, but the mules soon got unman
ageable, broke the reach and finally
broke away from the forward wheels,
arriving home with little except the
harness. No very great damage was
done except to the running gear of the
wagon.

THE Sioux Falls Press is using much
valuable space and energy urging upon
republicans the necessity OF nominat-
ing Hanna for president and Crawford
for governor. Hanna, to be sure, has
many friends In South Dakota. The
misrepresentation and abuse of the
Press and Its followers brought him to
South Dakota during the last presiden-
tial campaign and turned the tide In
his favor In . remarkable and interest
ing way. Indeed, one of the leading
republican dailies has just gone on rec
ord in favor Of Hanna In 1908. This
will be soon enough to suit the great
majority Oh the republicans OF the state,
though 1t is sure 10 be too slow TO sui
tho Press. As to Mr.. Crawford. In view
of bis possible nomination the Pres
should bring its nova days commen
into line with the lambastificati0n ant
hot shot that 1t would produce th'
minute he was nominated. An .inde
pendent newspaper should above 81
things be consistent, and this pointe
might save the Press great confusion

WELDING WITH ALUMINIUM.
New Process Recently Invented in
Germany Has Several Advan-
tages Over Old Method.

Thermit welding, new process in
vented in Germany, BASED on the intense
heat produced by the combustion of al
minimum, promises to make perfectly
easy the performance of operations here
tofore possible only by aid of the electric
furnace, and still others to which the
electric furnace cannot be conveniently
applied. ''Thermit' literally trans
lated, with heats the name applied
by its inventor to a mixture of alumni
mum and oxide of iron in a granular
state and in chemical proportion. This
mixture cannot be ignited by ordinary
means. 1t may be stirred with red hot
bar of iron or thrown into fire, or mol
ten cast iron may be poured on it without
causing ignition. But if even small
portion Of the mixture be raised to tenn
perature nearly approaching that of
molten steel the chemical affinity of the
aluminium for the oxygen contained in
the ferric oxide is powerfully developed,
with the result that metallic iron and
oxide of aluminium are produced, the
conversion being attained at heat Of
5000 degrees centigrade. Joints made
with thermit are far sitter than those
made in the usual manner, according to
tests made in Europe, and in the con-
struction of trolley lines prove perfect
electrical conductors and give rail
joint smoother than heretofore possible,
thus adding to the life of roadbed and
rolling stock.

GIRL WANTED A ROMANCE.
Evansville Qnd.) Man WEEDS Young
Woman in Buggy at
Her Request.

Abram Anderson, of Evansville, Ind,
and Miss Dora Bennett were united in
marriage at Owensville recently while
seated in a buggy in the street. The
ceremony was performed by the Rev.
Mr.. Shou1tz and was witnessed by a
large crowd of eager sightseers who
had gathered about the vehicle to wit
ness the unusual ceremony.
The couple drove into the city in the
carriage, and up to the parsonage. The
Rev. Mr.. Shoultz was called out to the
sidewalk, where he was informed that
the young people wanted to be married.
He invited them into the house, but the
bride blushing interposed with the in
formation that they wanted little
romance in their wedding and desired
to be married in the buggy"
The pastor obligingly accommodated
them and proceeded with the ceremony
He barred his head in the sunshine and
offered prayer for the welfare Of the
troth plighters. The young couple then
joined hands in the carriage and were
securely tied by the pastors words.
After the ceremony the young people
drove away at once, while the gathered
crowd gaped with establishment. They
have gone to Evansville, where they
will reside.

CORELLI ON LITERATURE.
Authoress Tells of Rewards of the
Life and Also Sets Forth It's
Unpleasant Feature.

In a recent article in the Strand Mag
azine Marie Corelli defines the happiest
life as "the life literary, which means
that we can always choose our own
company"
1.-THE author who can hold and main
tain all the real privileges and rights Of
authorship" she says, sis a ruler of
millions and under the subsection Of
none"
The rewards of the literary life are
set forth by her in detail. They in
clude endless requests for autographs,
innumerable begging letters, impera-
tive, sometimes threatening, demands
for interviews, hundreds of love letters,
at least one offer of marriage a week,
free circulation of lies and ISLANDERS
concerning ones self, bitter animosity
Of rival contemporaries, and persistent
Misrepresentation of character, aims
and intentions.
Turning from these characteristic
enumerations of rewards, Miss Corelli
wakes enthusiastic over a cheerful,
contented spirit and tranquility of
mind, born of firm faith and noble
ideals.
1t is touching picture, the cheerful,
contented spirit of Miss tCcrelli, which
leads her to avow that between the es-
tate of queens to that OF commoners,
she would choose the life literary in
preference to any other.

LIGHTNING ROD INDICATED
Experiments Of Sir oliver Lodge Prove
That Copper Conductors Attract
the Destructive Bolts.

Unless some inventive genius comes
forward with method by which wet
string may be made to do service as
lightning rod the demonstrations recent
ly given by Sir Oliver Lodge before the
London Institute of Architects may
eventually lead to the restoration OF
the highly profitable times of the lightn-
ing rod agent. His demonstrations go
to show that this gentleman OF smooth
language was far from being mistaken
in his statements that his copper tipped
rods would draw the electric bolts from
their course of destruction. The trou-
BILE was that they were too good. In his
experiments he used three different sub
stances as onductors-copper, iron and
a wet string. While copper was the most
intense and rapid conductor, it produced
a sharp crack at the flash and showed
by the intensity of its action that it was
likely to set up side flash, which IN
protected buildings has been the origin
Of most of the lightning accidents which
have resulted in the loss of faith on the
part of the people in the veracity of the
much maligned lightning rod man. Iron
took the bolt with less noise and the wet
string with hardly any, yet the latter was
efficient in protecting the two other con-
ductors. Wet string is, of course, impos-
sible in practice, but Sir Oliver main
tanned that iron was quite as efficient
a conductor as copper and far more safe,
in so far as it did away with the side flash.
His conclusion was the trial showed that
copper as lightning conductor should
be dismissed with costs. Should it be
possible to convince the American house
holders Of the correctness of his views,
the practical outcome of the demonstra-
ton may be the revival of the lightning
rod industry, with iron as substitute
for copper

A SINGULAR COINCIDENCE.
Mont Pelee Celebrates Anniversary of
Awful Catastrophe with An
other Eruption.

According to a letter written by a
young girl resident in Rosseau, Island of
Dominica, to a friend at New Haven,
Conn, the volcano Mont Pelee, in Mar
Unique, on May last, by a singular
coincidence, observed the anniversary
Of the catastrophe, May 8, 1902, when
10000 lives were lost and the city of
st. Pierre destroyed, by again bursting
into active eruption. No mention is
made Of any loss of life.
The letter states that there was a
very active eruption on Sunday, May 8.
There was an immense outburst of
smoke and cinders, and the central
cone within the crater appears to have
been entirely elected.
Mont Pelee is visible from Domini-
ca. At the same time there was some
slight volcanic disturbances at Guada-
lope island, and the boiling lake in a
crater at Dominica was unusually agi-
tated."
1t was recalled here that the disturb
ance Of crater lakes and slight erup-
tons for several days before the ire
mendous outburst on May 8, 1902, were
premonitory of that disaster and led a
Martinique scientist to investigate and
by cipher dispatch warn the govern
or of the island. The warning was
withheld from the public. Both scien-
tist and governor were among those
who lost their lives.

BOY SAVED BY ST. BERNARD
Big Dog Plunges Into Manhole in New
Orleans and Holds Child
Out of Water.

Little Ralph Johnson, son of street
peddler of New Orleans, had the honor
of being saved by a st. Bernard dog
to whom he was an utter stranger. At
Valence street and st. Charles avenue
sewerage was recently being con-
structed. When the workmen quit the
well for the night the manhole was
left open. Mrs. Johnson, with her
boy, three years old, and wearing a
dress, were in the vicinity, the mother
trying to sell laces. While the mother
had gone to house in the block the
child remained on the sidewalk for
awhile, and then walked to the man
hole and peered into it. Accidentally
he fell in. The child screamed loudly
for help, but being six feet under the
ground, no one heard his cries.
Just at this time an old milkman
passed. With him was a great St. Ber-
nard dog. The dog heard the cries OF
the child, and for a second could not
locate them. The child cried again,
and this time the dog plunged into the
well and seized the child's clothing in
its mouth. The dog held the little boy
above the water until both dog and
child were hoisted out of the manhole
by passers by. The dog then trotted
after the old milkman as though saw
ing child's life were an everyday oc-
currence.

100 NEW STARS DISCOVERED
Miss Leavitt, at Harvard Observatory,
Finds VariabIes in Large Ma
gellanic Cloud.

AS a result Of the study by Miss
Leavitt of the photographs of the two
Magellanic clouds. the Harvard OBJ
serVatory announces the discovery of
more than 100 variable stars in the
so-called large cloud.
The two clouds had long been objects
of careful study on account of the ex-
traordinary physical conditions which
prevail in them, but heretofore they
have not been known as regions In
which variable stars are numerous.
After the discovery of large number
of such stars in the small cloud, pre-
viously announced, Miss Leavitt was
led to make an examination of the
large one.
The variability of all Of these stars
and of those announced as variable In
circulars have been confirmed either
by Mrs. Fleming or by Miss Leland
and preparations are being made fol
determining the precise positions. pc
RODS and light curves Of all these
variables. This will be a big piece OF
work and progress will necessarily be

A COMMON BLUNDER.
MANY PERSONS EXPECTED AT
LANTIC CABLE WOULD FLOAT.
Problem Not Understood When First
Cable Was Laid-Plans to OBJ
viate the Supposed Diff
ficulty.

When it was first proposed to lay
marine cable many intelligent persons
said it would remain suspended at
certain depth because of the density
of the water due to pressure from
above. Of course the pressure in
creases with the depth on all sides Of
the cable in its descent through the
sea, but as practically everything on
earth is more compressible than water
it is obvious that the iron wire, yarn,
gutta-percha and copper conductor
forming the cable must be more and
more compressed as they descend.
Thus the cable constantly increases
in density, or specific gravity, in going
down, while the equal bulk Of water
surrounding it continues to have,
practically speaking, nearly the same
specific gravity as at the surface.
Without this valuable property OF wa
ter the hyraulic press would not ex-

Some of the most distinguished ma
val men have made the blunder that
is mentioned above. Even at a COM
paratively recent period Capt. Marryat
of the British navy, the celebrated
nautical author, wrote in one of his
novels: what a mine of wealth must
lie buried in the sands! What riches
lie entangled among its rocks or re-
main suspended in the unfathomable
| gulf where the compressed fluid is
equal in gravity to that which it en-
| circles!"
When the first Atlantic cable was
about to be laid, to obviate this sup
| posed difficulty it was gravely pro-
posed to festoon the cable across at
given maximum depth between buoys
and floats, or even parachutes, a
which ships should call. hook on AM
send messages to the shore. Others
proposed to apply gummed cotton tt
the cable, set it af1oat and leave tn
gum to dissolve and "let the cabi
down quietly"
