There are now twenty-five thousand
women employed in the railway serv-
Ice Of Russia.
The star Campus surpasses our sun
in light giving power some twenty
thousand times.
According to Sir William Broadbent,
fifty thousand deaths annually occur
from consumption.
Electric waves follow the earth's cur
vature, explains Erskine- Murray, a
Scotch engineer, because q conducting
layer high in air keeps them from
spreading into space, practically caus-
ing them to travel between two paral
lei conducting planes.
The late Patrick A. Collins. of Bos-
ton, while consul general in London
received $14,225.15, the largest contri-
button to the conscience fund on rec
ord, 1t was handed to General Collins
by the vicar of st. Giles Church, who
said that a parishOner asked that it
turned over to the United States gov
eminent.
There is one respect in which, ac-
cording to a correspondent, the Japa-
nese can teach the Chinese nothing in
military way, and that is in regard
to the cavalry. The Chinese have
horses as good as any known in the
world, and are born horsemen, who
have nothing to learn from Europe or
America. The Japanese are notably
deficient in Craftsmanship.
Oil was poured on troubled waters
at Dunl1irk recently with dire results.
There was a violent sea, and the cap
tain of the ship Cowrfe, stranded out
side the harbOr, pumped $40 quarts
Of petroleum upon the waves. The oil,
unhappily, stayed in the harbor, and
for weeks afterward the passage of YES
sells was clogged with greasy water, fish
were poisoned in shoals, and the whole
town smelled Of the oil.
Forty years ago there was consider,
able traffic on the Missouri river. 1t
has been more than twenty-five years
since a steamboat line regularly piled
upon the river. The railroads have
put the boats entirely out of business.
Crops could, Of course, be moved by
water much more cheapIy than by rail,
but the river is so shifting and treach-
erous that no permanent landings can
be built, and the draft Of a boat that
could travel at all seasons would be
too light to allow any freight capacity.
The river changes it's course every year
so as to leave towns on it's banks sew
eral miles inland-toO uncertain for
commerce.
In Siam the lighting of cigar indi-
Gates a bethrothal. In that country a
person wishing to become engaged to a
girl Of his choice offers her a flower
or takes a light from cigar or cigar
cite if she happens to have one in her
mouth: and thereupon, provided there
is no impedient, steps are at once taken
to arrange for the payment of the
dowry. The families of the bride and
bridegroom have each to provide a con-
siderable sum. In Cylabria, as in many
parts of India, a lighted taper or a
lighted pipe betokens the acceptance
Of the sutton for the hand Of lady in
marriage. In Siberia it is the custom
that when q sutton has been accepted
by a girl she presents him with a box
Of cigars and a pair of slippers as a
sign that he is to be master in the
house.

AdamIess Eden in Siam.

Perhaps the queerest city in the
world is that Of Nang Harm, the home
Of the royal family of Siam. This city's
popularity lies in the fact that it is
composed of women and children alone.
1t is in the center of Bangkok, has high
walls around it and in its population Of
5000 there is not a single man, though
the king occasionally pays visit. There
are shops, markets, temples, theaters,
streets and avenues, parks, lakes, trees
and flower gardens, a hall of justice,
judges, executioner, police, generals
and soldiers, all the positions, official
and otherwise, being filed by women.
The only man in all Siam who can en-
ter this city is the king.

For some years engines have been
taking water without stopping, and
mail cars have been picking mail sacks
from posts without so much as a pause.
Now an appliance for coaling engines
without stopping has been invented,

have been satisfactory The next i'm
provement to save the running time Of
trains will be a device for throwing
passengers on board and off without

Public opinion was the first great
Judge. 1t drove the malefactor from
his own people to the desert, to live
an exile, with every mans hand against
him. It's judgments are still true and
righteous. Cunning lawyers may befcg
turies. Wrongdoers may hid behind
technicalities. But there are verdicts
Of public opinion which are branded
into their skin and which they can
never erase. Not for all offenses. but
for certain offenses that is the great
corrective and punitive" It's value
cannot be easily overestimated. There
are men in all sections Of the country
who are finding the verdict cf public
opinion scarcely less bighting than the
sentence of a criminal court.

FOOLISH JUDICIAL ACTION.

The following clip is from a
Denver daily giving report OF a
very silly action taken by Judge
Palmer. 1t is passing strange
that those opposing socialism
should take such positive steps to
assist in the propaganda. Every
student knows that just such an
taeonism as is shown by Judge
Palmer will manufacture social
lists faster than ever. We reprint
the decision so that in passing
years our readers may observe
the effect it has had:
DENVER, Sept. 24.-Judge Pal
mer, of the district court. has an
nounced that he will not admit
any man to citizenship in the

Why should socialist be ad-
mitted to citizenship in this
country?" asked the judge. I'VE
can only admit citizens who have
no objections to our form of gov
ernment. The socialists are fight
ing our form of government and
why should we admit them2"

editorial confidence, privately ex-

democrats had not a sign of a
chance to win. We remember
how discouraged we were. Here
we had picked out Gunnison for
a lighting place and found it
solidly republican. Lord, we
were disappointed. But as weeks
rolled around we sort of gained
faith that possibly Charley was
not good guesser. Sure enough
when the returns came in every
democrat but one had landed by
good majorities. There is NO
more show for Sprigg Shackel,

there is for Gabbert. Charley

QUITE clear it is that this nation
is going to steal Cuba. For
many weeks preparations have
been going on, stealthily moving
forward to seize this island. They

most of it cooked up by Ameri-
cans, the sole purpose being to
secure intervention by this country
and bring about annexation.

Gu a that it was a bitter pill
forced down their throats at a

guarantee, and they did not in
tend to keep it. 1t was simply a
subterfuge which would quiet the
public here till they could work a
scheme to rescind it. Now they

pose to literally steal the island
Our capitalists desire to exploit

extreme in our opinion, to thus

them from a cruel Spanish des-
potism only to place them under
the domination of local capita
lists. We believe nations are
punished for the commission of
crimes such as this and we will
surely pay in blood and tears for
our infamous treatment of Cuba.
