contain at least 3 per cent of butter
and may contain 80 per cent of water
At Berlin the police seize all milk Of
fered for sale which is below the legal

BLAZING METEORS.


A small body as large as a paving
stone or not as large as marble is
moving round the sun. Just as a
mighty planet reyolves in an ellipse, so
this small object will move round and
round in an elIipse, with the sun in the
focus There are at the present mo-
ment inconceivable myriads Of such
meteors moving In this manner. They
are too small and too distant for our
telescopes, and we can never see them
except under extraordinary circum-
stances.
At the time we see the meteor it
traverscs a distance of more than
twenty miles a second Such velocity
is almost impossible near the earth's
surface. The resistance of the air would
prevent it. Aloft in the emptiness of
space there is no air to resist it.
In the course of its wanderings the
body may come near the earth and
within a few hundred miles of its sur
face, Of course, begins to encounter the
which the earth is inclosed. To body
moving with the appalling velocity Of
q meteor, a plunge into the atmosphere
is usually fatal Even though the up
per layers of air are excessively at
tenuated. yet they suddenly check the
Velocity, almost as rifle bullet would
\checked when fired into water As.

ction of the air warns its

Bills Of Dinerent Birds.

The bill of the canary is built for
crushing seeds-has strength, but in
many of the doves the bill is slender
and weak. Many of the pigeons and
doves that feed on seeds have gizzards
that are large and notwithstanding
and grinding being accomplished in
that way.
1t is difficult to say how much birds
experience taste, probably in small
degree. Ducks and parrots have soft,
fleshy tongues, but III most birds much
of the tongue Is sheathed in horn.
Food may be selected by intuition as
to what is wholesome, more than by
taste.-St. Nicholas.

OCTOBER 18th.

The ballot this fall will contain
five tickets as follows, republican,
democratic, peoples, socialist and
prohibition. also the blank column.
The last Legislature changed the law
so that if you want to vote straight
ticket you can cross in the circle un-
der the emblem. and if there is some
one else on another ticket for whom
you desire to vote you may do so by
crossing in the square opposite the
name and not invalidate your ballot.
Heretofore you had to be very care
full where you marked. The instruc-
tions are very plain and you only
have to read them carefully.
We have been guessing on the
following conundrum since adjourn
ment of the Republican Convention
here: Why did the chairman ap-
point on one of the most promin-
ent committees a man who was
not a member of the convention
being neither delegate nor proxy?
If pertinent answer occurs to US
during the campaign we shall pub
lish it.
One riding over the country will
notice everywhere the permanent
character of the farm improvements
now being made by our farmers.

Hotel Opening.

Last Thursday night the Hotel
Bunyan was opened at Fowler. A
fine program had been prepared and
large number of invitations were
sent out. A large crowd was pres
ent and enjoyed the hospitality of
Mrs. and Mrs. Bunyan.
This new structure is one of the
finest in the west. 1t is thoroughly
modern in every respect, steam
heat, electric lights throughout and
the furnishings are as fine as any
hotel in the cities where you pay S.
to 81 per day.
Mr.. Bunyan is to be commended
for the erection of such atructure in
this western country. But then
when you come to think about it,
there are no people on the face OF
earth, who are any more entitled to
have sucn an elegant place than the
people of Meade county and west
ern Kansas.
The editor of the News and wife
acknowledge the receipt of an in
vitation to be present but owing tc
some business matters we were un.
able to attend. Anyway we wish
Mr.. Bunyan success in the enter.
prise and hope will live to builc
many more such places.

vessels or only one; if they number for instance
five SIX or if they form fleet. 1t shows the dis
lance between ships invisible to the eye their rate
of speed, their stations, and many other circum-
stances interesting alike for or commerce.
Marvellous this science may appear, it needs
neither a special organization superior talents.
All that is wanted is knowledge of certain physi-
cal phenomenon which circumstances have led me
to discover
Bottineau got the nauscopy, formed from
two Greek words, and translating roughly to spy
out ships And that all, for then followed the
dissolution of the Government on which he de-
pended for reward and the science of nauscopy was
lost amid the red waves of the Revolution
In 1910, Feilaffe used to loter about the
harbormaster's Office at Port Louis, predicting the
arrival of ships before they within telescope
range. That he had had communication with Bot
tineau, however, deemed impossible. Feaffe's
greatest exploit predicting to Decaen, then gov
ernor, the assemblage of several ships, presumably
English squadron, in the direction of Rodriguez,
island three hundred miles from Mauritius. The
governor threatened to cast him into prison as an
alarmist unless he held his tongue, but it turned
out that he right. The fleet at the mo-
ment actually assembling there, and soon afterward
appeared off Mauritus. Feilaffe tried to
make money or secure position by his predictions.
One advantage that nauscopy exemplified by
Bottineau, had over wireless telegraphy that it
worked equally well in fair weather foul. Lost
arts there in plenty; but here is science that
has been waiting revival for almost hundred
years since the appearance of its last practitioner.

A LOST SCIENCE

n FORE than one hundred years before the in
MI venton of wireless telegraphy, as it is under
stood and perfected to-day, there appeared
the first mixing of the science of nauscopy by
of which the approach of ships two hundred
and fifty leagues out at could be perceived.
This, of course is the principal to which the
wireless telegraph has been put but nauscopy
differed from it in requiring nothing beyond the
perceptive abilities of the ordinary No high
masts, no large induction coil, and twin spheres
needed by the who discovered the prin-
ciples of nauscopy, yet his name is to-day almost for
gotten and priceless nauscopy lies buried with him.
In March, 1855, just one hundred and ten years
before Marcon began his experiments his fathers
estate in Bologna Italy named Bottineau
appeared in Paris with the announcement of a
grand discovery, which nothing less than the
perceiving of ships at distance of fully hun
dred and fifty miles. He said he had accidentally
perceived, some twenty years before while
poyed in civil capacity at the Isle of France,
tain phenomena in the sky that indicated the draw
ing near OF ships.
After almost ncalculable number of observa-
tons, disheartening failures, and half-hopefu
Certainties, he had learned a method of reading
these indications with absolute correctness. He
declined to make his methods public, but when put
to the test than half of hundred and fifty
five predictions of the arrival of ships shown
to be entirely correct, while of the remainder a
large part were afterward proved to be true in SO
far as their passage the days, and at the dis
tances stated named.

and waters for miles around resounded to their wild
barbaric rhythm. A charge from the camp followed,
and two hundred wild riders attacked the agency
with warwhoops circling its buildings and scurrying
away in trailing clouds of dust. The fierce clatter
OF hoofs the cracking strokes of the quirt the CLINT
inc brown bodies STOPPING low under streaming
feathers, the shri "A-a-a-a-yi-yihl yeha-yi-yipl"
-war-whoop of the Sioux-all this realistic
enough and prepared for the glories of the day.
On the ground there nothing to remind one of
civilized life the wheeled vehicles which, ranging
from broken-down spring wagons to brand new top
bugges were to Re seen scattered among the tepees
In the center of the camp-ground Enclosure, two
hundred feet in diameter and five feet in height,
constructed of posts, to which railing of light poles
was withed and woven with green willows and small
bush This inclosure-the only one except the
great tribal circle of the villages-was for the
dancers and beyond it's willow rails the spectator
might not pass.
The days program on the grounds opened with
the begging dance. A delegation arrayed in
fantastic poverty-stricken attire rode about the
inner circle of the camp stopping before certain
lodges to dismount, to beat drum, and to dance
with hating steps and to chant while one went to
the tepee door to invite its inmates to come forth
and look pityngly upon the mendcants. These
sang
o grandfather, give something!
We have suitable clothes;
We have nothing to eat.

sat on one side of the willow
lodge, and the old men,
women, and children on the
other. Five cow-skin drums,
each beaten by six men
welding two sticks to the
man, were distributed, one in
the center and one just within
the barricade at each point
of the compass.
At the signal of the drums
a hundred gaily bedecked war
riors would leap into the ring,
and during the measures of a
chant which was chorused by
one or two singers at each
drum, the dancers leaped and
contorted their bodies each
after fashion of his own.
1t was a free-and-easy occa-
sion, and any man who chose
could at any interval march
about within the circle and
chant his deeds as a warrior. An
