The Oskaloosa herald., 1906-05-03

Hon. Geo. D. Perkins, candidate for
the republican nomination for gov
ernor, addressed an audience of 1900
voters which crowded Fosters opera
house in Des Moines the evening Of
April 26, and the reception given him
was most enthusiastic. The meeting
was one of the most largely attended
and successful political gatherings
ever held in Des Moines.
Mr.. Perkins was in fine fettle and
held the closest attention of his
hearers. 1t was noticeable that the
audience was made up of the old
guard of republicanism in Des Moines.
Mr.. Perkins preached sound dictrine
to the men who have helped make the
party in Des Moines. 1t was not a
curiosity-seeking audience, but a
house of friends, and the candidates
clear, candid, conservative, telling ut
terances on state and national topics
went straight home. The address
was an appeal to save Iowa republic
anism from the wild and wierd paths
into which the governor is leading; 1t
was a calm exhortation against turn
ing republicanism into Organism, pop
uliSm of Hearstism; 1t was above all,
an impassioned call to republicans
not to follow off after strange gods,
imaginary issues or scarecrows erect
ed for nomination purposes only.
Nation Looking to Iowa.
Mr.. Perkins declared that there
was Just one man in Iowa who was
leading republicans into a slough
which would result in democratic con-
gressmen being chosen to succeed
our present republican representation
in congress. He said that the eyes
of the nation were upon Iowa at this
time, and that upon the result here
much depends. If the sister states
understand that Iowa is ready to
withdraw its support from the presi-
dent on the tariff question, then there
comes the great danger Of Roosevelt's
administration being embarrassed in
the immediate future by democratic
or at least an anti-protection con-
gress, which may shatter business
conditions and send the present re-

Der given out, is more troublesome
sometimes than the loss OF a piece oc
caslonally, and consequently a perma-
nent record Is seldom at hand.
The device shown here is particularly
adapted for such a purpose. although
the idea Is too common to warrant
mention. A glance at the picture Will
show a frame with rods and centers,
similar to those used 10 teach the
youngsters TO count. Each rod carries
an equal number of counters, and oppo-
site every rod Is the name OF some gar
ment that is likely TO be sent to the
laundry. In using the device the coun-
ters would normally be In the center,
and as various articles are given out
to be washed, counters on the rods in
alignment with the name of the article
are to be moved to the side of the
frame, When the clothes are returned,
reference to the counter Will immedi-
ately show If all are in the bundle or
not. Other uses Of the device Will be
readily apparent.

SCIENCE NOTES,
Powerful Searchlieht.

At CauX. on the Lake of Geneva, at
an altitude OF 5000 feet, Is a gigantic
searchlight 1t Is reported as having
been success. as the searchlight was
handled with the greatest ease, sending
Its powerful rays distance of over
seven and a half miles. Objects at six
and a half miles could be distinctly
seen. The machine providing the power
was twenty-four- horse power and
furnished a 100000 electric candle
power light. A orty-horse-power mo-
tor would give $1,000. 900 electric candle
power. DiaIRpter OF protector was 3.2S
feet. The great advantage OF this
searchlight is that II may be electrical
ly handled In all directions by wire
from a distance of 656 feet from the mo-
tor car. which transports IT and sends
1t to the required spot, 1t thus enables
the driver and observer TO send the
rayo to any place they desire without
being blinded by the light. and places
them under shelter from the enemy's
fire. The new searchlight has already
been submitted to certain high French
officers, and will shortly be examined by
the German general staff.

Artificial Albumen.

The German press report an interest
Ing discovery-a new condensed food to
supplant meat-one of the reports being
as follows:
1T is contended that the principal
nourishment required by the human
body for It's maintenance is albumen,
the source Of all muscular strength. 1t
was recognized that were 1t possible to
make artificial albumen, a complete
change In the present system would
render the now so necessary meat foods
to great extent dlspensable. A d.
rector of the leading chemical institu-
tion, the Berlin university, has gained
the credit Of having accomplished the
first analysis Of natural albumen. He
has established the composition of the
various ingredients, some Of which he
has succeeded In producing artificially.
The subst' ca thus obtained he has
called Pc peptide." and It is said TO
possess large number OF the proper

No Color Line in Oratorv.
New York World.


Less than 4 dozen years ago wide
spread discussion followed the selection
Of an American-born neEro to be class
orator at Harvard commencement.
During the past week the George VIII
liam Curtis gold medal, the highest ora
torical honor conferred by Columbia
was warded to ka Isaka Semc. q full
blooded Zulu. The award has not been
criticised. 1t seems to be generally
recognized that Mr.. Seine is entitled to
his honors and that the winning OF a
prize Is dependent upon the ability. not
upon the color. of the competitors,
Mr.. Seine, however. is not the only
student unblessed with a white skin to
win a golden prize in an American uni
versity through the silyern quality of
his speech. K S. Inai, Japanese stu
dent. won first honors In the annual
oratorical contest at the University Of
Michigan on March 16 last. his reward
being 800 In gold and the Chicago
alumni gold medal.
1t is worth noting that Mr.. Seine and
Mr.. Inai chose their own lands. their
own peoples. as the subjects OF their
speeches. Mr.. Seine spoke on THE Re-
generation OF Africa" and Mr. Inai on
