produced when you breathe on the
surface.
If you have a plate of glass that
has been against an engraving for
several years, breathe on that side
of it, and the lines of the engraving
will become visible. This may fail
sometimes, but rarely.
Does all this sound like magic?
The explanation is 4 natural one. On
the surface of all solids a layer of
gas, vapor and fine dust gathers.
When you polish the object, the layer
is removed, or it is altered by the
contact Of other solids. If the OBJ
ject is breathed upon, the breath
condenses more easily on some parts
than it does on others, according to
the condition or state Of this layer,
and therefore any marks made on it
will become visible.-New York Mail.

Breath Drawings.

Some curious experiments may be
made with the breath. On a pane
of glass, or a mirror that has not
been polished just beforehand, trace
a figure, or a letter, or a name, with
your finger; nothing will be visible.
But breathe on the glass, and the
tracing will at ono appear.
Now. on a freshly polished plate
of metal or glass, place a coin. After
a few moments remove the coin, and
nothing will be seen on the surface,
but breathe on it where the coin was
lying, and an image of it will appear.
If you polish the coin instead of the
metal or glass, the same effect will be

se5, 4O6, a5s ASKED FOR CANAL
Estimates For Fiscal Year Ending
June 30, 1908. Are Made Public.

Washington, D. C.-The Isthmian
Canal Commission desires an appro-
priation of s25,406,25S.73 to con.
tinue its work on the Panama Canal
during the fiscal year ending June
80, 1908. The estimates calling for
this amount of money were made
public by the commission. The
amount appropriated for the canal
work for the fiscal, year which will
end June 80, 1907, was $25,456,-
415.0S.i
The estimates for the next fiscal
year are surprisingly close to the
appropriations for the current year,
a fact explained by the statement at
the commission headquarters that in
the absence Of exact knowledge OF
what will be required it was thought
best to be guided by the experience
gathered before.

ReviIing The Democrats.

Judge Taft is disputing with Mr.
Roosevelt the championship of the no
BILE profession of MISUNDERSTANDING the
truth. In his speech to the negroes and
federal Office holders of North Caro-
lima. June 8. he declared that, while
the democratic leaders have been foI
years declaring against corporations
they have instituted no Legislative
steps in all this time to restrain the
abuses" Taft knew this to be utterly
false. He knew. for instance. that the
Tillman Gillespie resolution under
which the Standard Oil and the rail
roads are now being investigated was
of democratic origin. He knew that
the Tillman bill 10 prohibit corpora
tons from contributing to party cor
ruption funds-a bill which passed the
senate, but was opposed by Root, ROose-
welt and Taft so that it failed in the
house-was of democratic origin. He
knew that the democrats in congress
have introduced numberless measures
designed TO curb the trusts by abolish
ing the tariff duties on trust-made
goods.

cratic state had established railroad
commission to prevent eXtortions and
