CHARLEs WARREN FAIRBANKS.


From the Washington Post
Here is the element OF conserva-
tism. A grave, and serious, and po-
tent force, Mr.. Fairbanks will appeal
to the confidence of the thoughtful.
He is a representative product of
American Institutions. Sprung from
Puritan New England stock and mel
lowed and broadened by the spacious
west he retains the stern and simple
virtues of his race, while he subjects
them to the saving discipline of larger
standards, wider sympathies and more
comprehensive vision. He is a strong
man and safe. He has made his own
way in life, by faithful effort and
clean ways Studious, enlightened.
animated by pure ambition, he gave
his early youth to industry. He
scorned delights and lived laborious
days. so that when he came to the
United States senate, in 1897, he came
with the approval of his neighbor
and fellow citizens and with the pres
tige of honorable achievement and es-
tablished merit He is neither a
trickster nor an accident. He is the
beneficiary of no dramatic surprise, or
calculated manipulation, any more
than he is the instrument of malign
and hidden influences. A Republican
by conviction, a faithful advocate and
champion of his party, consecrated. to
the principles and policies of the or
ganization he conscientfouslye spouses,
Mr.. Fairbanks is an open leaf for any
one to read. There is no doubt pos
sible as to his political ideas, purposes
and hopes. nor any imaginable ques-
ton of his patriotism or his ability.
That he will lend strength to the
ticket is outside of speculation. The
record speaks for him. His character
and his distinguished services bear
witness with convincing eloquence.
He is both safe and stronghold dig
nified and powerful. There is no Office
in the gift of the American people to
the duties of which he would be mad
equate-no trust which he would not
discharge for their advantage and his
own renOWn

Since the year 1900 Japan has great
~ reduced her impOrtations of cotton
from the United States. owing to the
high prices. and has increased her inn
portation of lower priced cotton from
India. In the eleven months ending
with May. 1900. Japan imported 1919
million pounds of American cotton, val
ued at 70 2-3 million dollars; and in the
present fiscal year to date she has ia
ken less than "a million pounds of
American cotton. valued at less than 5
million dollars. Flour. refined mineral
oils. cotton. paper and its products,
parafin and paraffin wax. electrical
machinery. locomotives, sole leather
and manufactured tobacco form the
major portion of our exports to Japan.
and in all of these. except cotton and
paper, there is a substantial increase
over last years exports.

Webb McNall was in Topeka last

CATS AND RATS,
Experiments Show That the Rodent
Has Great Sense of Smell.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
II have observed recently a rather curl
Gus thing with respect to the relationship
between cats and rats, and it has led to a
rather interesting reflection" said a man
who takes much interest in animal life
For a while the rats overran my place
At night there was no such thing as quiet
around the house. They would scamper
across the floor, jump up and down the
steps and cut all kinds of capers. We Sc
cured a cat, and from the very time the
cat appeared on the place the rats began to
get scarce. There is nothing curious about
this fact in itself. But to my personal
knowledge the rats have never seen the cat.
There has been no chasing and no conf ct
between them. What / want to know is
how do the rats know the cat is on the
place? The inquiry has caused me to in
dulge the more interesting reflection: How
far can a rat detect the presence of a cat
by the sense of smell? Evidently at con-
siderable distance, else the rats at my place
would not have known of the cats presence
under the circumstances. I'm quite sure
they have never seen the eat. But they
know he is there just the same, and they
have been awfully cautious since his ar
rival 1t would be interesting to know the
range of the cats sense of SMELL and some
experimenter will find here an interesting
field of inquiry, and which might be
entered with some profit to human kind"

Modern Stained Glasswork.

From the BooklOvers' Magazine.
The twentieth century American stained
glass maker follows without important
variation the simple methods of the
French monk of eight centuries ago The
first requisite is the design. The artist
makes a small water color sketch to
show the general design and color
scheme, accompanying 1t with detailed
studies From this two large drawings
or cartoons are made, the exact size of
the desired window. One cartoon shows
where the leads" will be placed-the
thin strips of lead, followed On both sides
and looking in transverse section like
the letter II, which form the framework
to bind the pieces of glass together An
other drawing gives the size and shape
of each piece of glass. This cartoon is
cut into its component pieces by a pair
Cor tripleD of three bladed scissors,
which leave between their parallel blades
SPACE sufficient for the leads. These
cut-out patterns are put together again
a large glass easel, to which they are
attached by wax, and the spaces between
are BACKED in, to give the effect of the
leads.
The easel is then placed against a win
dow where the light can stream through
1t. The artist or his substitute replaces
each paper pattern on the easel by
piece of glass of exactly the same size,
cut from a sheet of glass of the color
called for by the color sketch. The sketch
is not followed exactly; experiment with
the actual glass will suggest improve
ments. To a greater or less extent this
stained glass is supplemented by painted
glass, on which the colors are fired, as
in china painting. When all the pieces
have been cut they are transferred to
the leading" drawing; the flexible leads
are twisted into shape and soldered at
the joints and special cement applied
to make the whole water tight. The win
dow is now complete, ready to be put in
position, where it is made secure by cop
per wires fastened to the transverse bars
of iron.

The Meaning of Radium.
he London Specta tor.

From the London Spectator
We talk glibly about the revelation of
radium. this wonderful and bewildering
new element which is the most important
contribution of the twentieth century, thus
far, to our knowledge of the universe. One
hears on all hands-eXcept among men of
science-that 1t revolutionizes our concep-
tions of the universe, that its behavior up
sets all our physics, that the principle of
the conservation of energy has to be aban-
doned, and with 1t all the edifice built on
the base cleared by Newton. 1t is a curl
Gus commentary on the really petty nature
of mankind that a good many people, I'M
mindful of the vast debt which we owe to
science, have received the news of this
hypothetical obstacle in her way with
kind of satisfaction much as some people
look upOn the chances of war in the far
east with qualification at the prospect of
a gladiatorial spectacle, without consider
ing what an addition TO the mass of hui
man suffering it must entail. There is
certain pleasure in the misfortunes of ones
friends saws the moralst, and If physical
science were really forced to confess that
the behavior of radum showed that her
work for the last three centuries, and es-
pecially for the last fifty years, had been
conducted on principle now demonstrated
to be false, many of those who have bene-
fitted the most by her triumphs would feel
sneaking joy.
Fortunately, II ID not So ana Slr oiiver
Lodges very lucid and authoritative lee
ture of Tuesday on tRadium, and It's
Meaning has done good service in max
ing that clear to the world. 1t is true that
the behavior of radum does revolutionize
some of the doctrines of science, and opens
the gates to whole new field of specula-
lions which may IN no long time crystalize
into that ordered knowledge Of nature
which we call science. But it is important
that we should know how to distinguish
between the principles and the details. the
basic doctrines and the working hypothe-
SEES Of science, before we commit ourselves
to the assertion that any new discovery
however wonderful and difficult to classify
1t may appear. has really knocked away
the foundations from beneath our palace Of
truth.
