Man Should Not Grow Old.

No one wants to grow old, and ac-
cording to Professor Metchnikoff no
one need-if only one can capture and
kill the microbe which is productive
of the disease. Old age, the professor
insists, is not necessary condition,
but is chronic ailment the cure for
which science has not yet discovered,
but surely will.
Man has distinct aversion to grow
ing old feeling instinctively that in
old age there is something abnormal.
Now, we give medicine to allay pain,
why should we not discover some rem
edy for old age, which after all is Q
chronic disease?

Astronomers are looking forward
with unusual interest to the total
eclipse of the sun, which will occur
on the 30th of August, 1905.
Eclipse problems relate not only TO
the properties Of the less massive
portions of the sun, but also to the
question of possible planets between
the sun and Mercury. The search for
such objects has been a well-defined
eclipse problem; the sunlit sky pre-
vents effective search by everyday
methods. No such bodies have been

YANKEE GOLD IN MEXICO
Railways Absorb $5O,OOO,OOO
of American Capitol.
INDUSTRIAL STlMULANT

Despite a Pronounced Decrease In
Railway Construction In This
Country Our Sister Republic Has
Attracted Capital to Construct
New Roads.
More than $4,000, 5000 Of American
capital has gone into Mexico for rail-
roads and attendant industries during
the past year. This is a striking fact
because OF the pronounced decrease
in new railway construction in the
United States within the same period.
Traffic managers of United States
railway systems say that the Mexi-
can lines, as rule, get larger pro-
portionate profit for their freight and
passenger business than do the Amer
lean lines. Much of the railroad traf-
f1c In Mexico is local in character,
and the short hauls afford a larger
percentage of profit than the frequent
very long hauls on the American
roads.

cRANIuMs OF CANDIDATES.
What They Reveal az Read by .
Phrenoioqlst.

Prof. Charles f. Boyer, a Chicago
phrenologist, has completed study
of the craniums of Roosevelt, Parker,
Hearst and Bryan.
Mr.. Hearst is not so logical as Mr..
Bryan" said Prof. Boyer. Neither
is he as practical as Judge Parker.
Bryan, too. is more theoretical than
practical. William II. Hearst Is only
fairly social, and, Notwithstanding his
well-known advocates in the interests
of the masses, is at heart an ar.Vto-
crat and exclusive in his friendship
and affection"
Among other things, Prof. Boyer
says of Judge Parker:
His head is large and well devel.
oped in the moral, esthetic and sub
jective regions. In speaking he would
be inclined to use his hands only lit
tie. He lacks the strenuosity OF a
Roosevelt and the magnetism of a
Bryan. He is ultra-conservative and
secretive. He manifests very high
regard for things beautiful.
President Roosevelts head is well
balanced. He is utterly devoid of pre-.
tense OF affectation. He is sincere
and loyal to the core. President
Reesevelt knows instinctively whom
and whom not to trust. President
Roosevelt is living example OF
righteous and abstemious living. He
is a doer, not a dreamer."-St. Louis

Fears Earth Will Stop,

Frederick Laub, corporal in the
quartermaster's department. at League
Island Navy Yard, has prepared a
petition which he intends submitting
to Congress asking to have the Stan
dard Oil Company restrained from
further operations. Laub claims that
the oil in the earth is necessary to
lubricate it, in order to keep it re-
volving, and that if the oil is removed,
as is being done in vast quantities
by the Standard Company, the revo-
lutions will cease. This would, he
claims, deal fatal blow to plan of
atrial transportation, which he is now
working out

Saved By a COWBOYS Rope.

During the recent high waters on
the Arkansas River a cowboy from
the 101 ranch near here was able 10
save life by being an expert with
the lasso. The cowboy, rode TO the
river that morning to view the food,
and, while sitting on the bank, noticed
q man floating down stream. The
cowboy shouted words of encour' ge-
nent to the man, and then, riding
down stream awaited the mans COM
ing at bend in the river. The unfor'
tunate man, tossed by the current
soon drew near, and, wading as far as
he dared into the river, the cowboy
whirled his lariat and, securing the
man drew him ashore.-Kansas City
