ELECTRIC FORCE IN ANIMALS.
Developed in Lungs and Hearts, Says
San Francisco Scienti

San FRANCISCO SCIentiS,.
The brain as an electric motor is
the theme of DR.. Albert B. Atkins of
San Franciscos preachments. He says
that he. has proved by experiment
made on steer that brain action is
an electrical phenomenon. His appa-
ratus consisted Of two platinum cleo
trOdes connected with a long copper
wire running to extremely sensitive
galvanometers The electrodes were
inserted in two lobes of the brain of
living steer. After the first quiver
caused by the insertion of the plat-
mum points the animal lay quiet and
yet the needle of the galvanometer
was DETECTED four points on the scale
and remained SO for nearly six min
utes. Upon further action by the
operators Immediately tie needle de-
f1ected nineteen points In the same
direction. Then the needle gradually
returned to the normal position, DR..
Atkins has previously demonstrated
that electric force is developed in the
lungs and hearts Of animals, and he
argues that the mystf Sies of sravita-
tion can be solved only by attribut-
ing 1t to electrical action.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards.-The
market here last week was rather un-
even. A strong demand with favorable
advices from eastern markets had the
effect of Strengthening prices here
early in the week on nearly everything
Later, however, the eastern markets
were reported very dull and the mar
ket here dropped In sympathy. Com
pared with a week ago prices on good
cattle are very nearly steady. but the
common kinds 10 to Is cents lower.
Receipts were quite liberal and aver
age quality was rather better than the
preceding week. Some choice beef
steers were offered and sold readily
under strong demand. A string OF
fancy Nebraska corn-fed steers
brought $3.50, the high price of the
season. and other granted steers
brought $500 to $4.75, with hay-fed
stuff at $500 to $4.55. Cows were
plentiful. but the proportion of good
ones light. Best sold at $3.75, with
most OF the pretty good grades at $500
to $3.50 and medium kinds largely at
$2.25 to $500. Bulls were steady and
in good demand. Beals also sold well.
The feeder and stocker supply was lib
eral and average quality very fair. The
demand for the good steers was excel
lent, but common kinds are about as
dull as ever. Prices note little change
from week ago on the best, but 9th
ers are a little lower.
The hog supply was very good and
packers bought everything in sight,
paying about river prices. There was
some fluctuation in values from day to
day, but at the close values were about
the same as at the opening OF the
week. tops selling at SG.l5 with the
range down to $3.50.
Sheep receipts were fair, but most
of them were billed through and trad
ing here was light. Several loads of
ewes were offered and sold under good
demand at steady prices. Lambs,
however, are in light demand on this
market. The lamb market is weak to
a little lower east.

Denver pry Tillaoe Experiments.

The Park board of Denver has de-
cided that it will cooperate with the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture in experiments soon to be con-
Quoted in Denver. The department
will take up the study Of producing
wheat oats, rye and barley on dry
land. The Park board will assist the
department by giving over to ii the
use of ten acres of land in the north
end of City park near the driving park.
The land will be above the city ditch
and will be wholly without irrigation.
Experiments conducted privately
with these grains have shown that
there is great possibilities in this di-
rection. 1t is the plan of the depart
ment to get breeds Of wheat that will
grow with the minimum amount of irri-
CATION, if possible to get qualities Of
grains that will need no more moisture
ehan it can get from precipitation in
an ordinary Colorado season. The
land in City park is admirably fitted
for the proposed experiments. The
matter of turning over the land to the
government is in tie hands OF Jacob
Fillius with power to act.
The Park board will conduct some
experiments of its own with the view
of securing dry grass suitable for
park purposes that will not need irri-
cation. The seed has already been re-
ceived and as soon as the time for
planting comes this spring it will be
planted. Some of the land in City
park is not under the city ditch, and
the board is anxious to have ii sown
to grass. 1t will be necessary, there
fore, to secure a grass that does not
need much water This seed will be
planted in City park and in Washing
ton park.

PosToFFice FOR DENVER.
Senate COMMITTEES Recommends Large
Appropriation.


Washington.-In his report upon the
bill to appropriate $1,000. 900 for new
federal building at Denver. Senator
Warren presented the following facts:
The present public building in Den
yer was authorized under an act of
May 8. 1882. The building was not
completed until 1893. and before 1t was
occupied it was found that the city
had grown 10 such an extent that the
building was not nearly large enough
to accommodate the federal business.
The inadequacy of the present build
ing at the time it was first occupied
was due to the rapid growth OF the city
and surrounding country after au-
thority for construction of the build
ing was given and before it could be
used.
1T IS estimated that when the orig
inal bill was passed in 1882, Denver
had a population of less than 10000.
BY 1890 the number had increased to
100000 and to over 1873 900 in 1900, and
there had been corresponding growth
in the population of the state of Colo
rado and the entire Rocky mountain
region contiguous to that city. The re-
suit was an expansion of business far
in excess of the calculations of the
designers of the original building and
failure of the structure from the be-
ginning to meet the demands upon it.
The growth of the city and contiguous
country has continued since the occu-
pancy of the present building in 1893
until now it is conservatively calcu-
lated that the city has population of
175.0O0
The consequence is that there is a
crowding together in public Offices of
officials. employees and papers that
should not be permitted, with conse-
quent congestion of business that is
appalling.
Outside the federal building, To-
Gated in different portions of the city,
more or less remote, are Offices of the
United States district attorney, sur
veyor generals Office, United States
land offices, War Department head
quarters. department of Colorado, the
United States geological survey, recla-
nation service. forestry division and
pension Offices"
The report quotes the recommenda-
ton of the secretary Of the treasury
for new building. who states:
1T Is estimated that'a four-story
and basement building Of $4,000
square feet ground area will be suffi-
cient. and that a fireproof building of
tho dimensions indicated will cost ST.
100000. 1t is estimated that suitable
site can be secured for from $50O000
to SS00,0O0 additional.
Comparison OF Denver's postoffice
facilities with those of other western
cities will be most interesting in this
connection.
Dallas. with population of AZ G3S.
has postoffice building occupying a
full block front and from twice TO
three times as large as the present
postoffice building in Denver
kansas City has a postoffice build
ing four or five times as large as
Denver's.
The Omaha and Salt Lake post
Office buildings are two or three times
as large as the Denver postotlice
building"

Practical Women at WASHINGTON,

Speaker Reed once remarked that
there was but woman in Washington
society who could talk politics intelli-
gently and she Is Mrs. Robert r. Hit.
Mrs. Fairbanks realizes more nearly
the woman who is such a force in Brit
ish political life. She is lawyer and
a profound student of social condi-
tions. She is worker in the Junior
Republic and the present prosperous
condition of that social venture is
largely due to her direction Mrs. La
Toilette, wife of the newly elected SEN
ator from Wisconsin, is also a lawyer
and is interested in social reform, es-
pecially among the younger criminal

SUGAR BEET VICTORY.
Philippine TariH Bill Killed by Senate
Committee.

SoWnIttees
Washington.-By a vote Of eight to
hve Friday the Senate committee on
the Philippines defeated the Payne
bill. which had passed the House by a
vote of 25s to II.
The action of the committee had
been foreshadOwed for nearly a week,
although the exact vote had not been
known.
The senators voting for the bill
were: Lodge. Beveridge, Long. Car
mack and McCreary.
The negative votes We're: Hale, Bur
rows. Dick, Nixon. Brandesee. Culber-
son. Dubois. Stone
After this decisive action had been
taken, Mr.. McCreary moved that the
bill be reported to the Senate ad-
Versely, in order to give the Senate
chance to consider it.
Mr. Brandegee moved to table the
motion and this was carried by a vote
of Z to 6, Mr.. Nixon voting with the
minority on this proposition.
This action effectually disposes of
the measure, unless the chairman
should appeal to the Senate by reso-
luton.
After Brandegee's proposal that the
bill should be tabled, Mr.. Lodge, the
chairman, addressed the committee.
He said the course proposed was un-
usual and that there could be no good
purpose accomplished in thus prevent
ing the Senate from reviewing the
action of the committee If it desired.
The opponents of the bill made no
reply.
After the bill had been effectually
disposed of, Mr.. McCreary moved to
report his bill, which provided for
free trade with the Philippines imme-
diately.
This motion was lost, only four SEN
ators voting in the affirmative. They
were McCreary, Culberson, Carmack
and stone.
The PAYNE bill provided for the re-
duction of duty on sugar tobacco and
rice imported from the Philippines. to
thirty-two per cent of the Dingley
schedules, and for absolute free trade
after three years.

did not suit her, that she refused to
cook tine dinner because she wanted
to go skating. The court dismissed d

Orchard Marked for Death.

Portland, Ore. = The Oregonian
prints 4 special from its correspondent
at Boise. Idaho, which states in sub
stance that the ''inner circle" of the
Western Federation of Miners did not
confine itself to the murder of non
union miners and state officials, but
that the tools who committed these
crimes were themselves victims of the
inner circle" Orchard was one of
the tools marked for destruction, and
the confession of Steve Adams is said
to show that Orchard had been shad-
owed for a long time 1t is not believed
that Orchard knew that he was under
suspicion, but there is every reason
to believe that he stood in fear of
death at the hands of those by whom
he was employed.

Hartman railroads have bought prop
erty costing $4,5O0.OoO, and have at
least $500,O00 worth more to purchase
to conect terminal property with rights

A newly published letter written by
the late John Ruskin to Sir Oliver
Lodge says: SIS it still impossible to
get into any human head at your uni
versities that the economic crisis is
because people will dig iron out of the
ground and build ironclads, instead of
raising corn and wine and giving them
to whose needs them? That is the
one plain two plus two equals four
that I have tried to teach these twenty
years. The thing of all others indis.

Three Coats in One.

A remarkable coat Is the invention
of Sydney Banks, a Cape Town tailor.
With this coat in his portmanteau
the traveller may face any social con-
tingency. A frock coat at first sight,
it is changed into a morning coat or
dress coat by whipping off the skirt
and lacing on another which will join
the body of the garment at line not
to be distinguished from an ordinary
seam.
The inventor recommends 1t to all
travellers for it's cheapness and porta-
bility.-Trinidad Mirror.

To have good luck in planting trees
:hey must be kept securely packed un-
til they are put in the ground. They
should be settled with water when
planting. The dirt should never be
tramped until the water has disap-
peared, then fill the hole and tramp
lightly so that the soft dirt will ad-
lust itself around the roots properly.
One of the most important points is
late fall watering. Soak the ground
five or six feet if possible.

". .. Ebbert OF Rocky Ford, who

W. 3. Ebbert CT Rocky Ford, who
spoke at the Farmers institute at
Greeley, advised growers not to irri.
gate their sugar beets so long as they
were doing well. He thought that the
less the beets were disturbed the
larger the tonnage that would be as
sured. He also stated that beets could
be raised on the same ground year af-
ter year without any apparent differ
cnces In the yield of the stock. He ad-
vised beet growers to plow in the fall
instead of the spring, believing 1t
would result in larger yield by from
three to six tons.
