The Mankato Free Press
thinks the work of securing a
campaign fund from the people
by donations of a dollar, or some
such matter, each, will be like
passing the contribution box in
church. Exactly. No church
could run a week on the loose
change tossed into the plate
Sundays. Somebody, and several
somebodies, for that matter, al
ways have to "dig up" The
proposed scheme for getting
money for the campaign from the
people, and cutting out the cor.
porations and big donations from
the "big boys" is ideal, but it
will not work out.

How Much Air We Have.

One hundred and thlrty-one miles is
the height of the atmosphere as meas
ured by Professor T. J. J. See, who
determines the thickness of the air
envelope by noting the difference be-
tween the time of sunset and the COM
plete disappearance of blue from the
sky. The. moment at which the blue
changes into black can be observed
quite easily with approximate Ger
tainty by the naked eye when the
air Is clear, and by trigonometry
may be ascertained the distance below
the horizon of the sun at the moment
of change. BY this means may be cal,
culated the height Of the smallest illu-
minated particles Of oxygen and nitro
gen which give to the sky its blueness
OF tint by the reflection of the smallest
wave lengths of the suns light. The
instant of change from blue to black
Is possibly little difficult Of exact
but the method Is not more
doubtful than that based on the OBJ
servation of shooting stars. The shoot
ing star method gives a result not
greatly differing from the vanishing
blue method. The former gives the
height Of the atmosphere at 100 miles.

them and eat them probably on &C.

buy tea, coffee and the various grades

but oil experts on those things pass
upon them entirely by their smell. The
professional tea faster or whisky tast-

simply arrives at their taste by their

plainly, smell. I can tell what price

If they don't smell right they will never
taste right" -Washington Star.

American Tourists and Their Ways.

endeavor not to interfere with the

to consider whether their piercing

while Americans have a particularly
maddening habit Of reading their cor

the slightest regard to other people

La FOLLETT t. s
AMENDMENT
KILLED
Wisconsin Senator Wanted to Pro-
hibit Railroads from Owning
Indian Territory Coal
Lands,
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Mar. 2.-The senate
to-day passed the bill providing for
settlement of the affairs of the five
civilized tribes. Under guise of con
sheraton of the bill the senate
spent practically the entire day in a
discussion of the railroad question.
The subject was raised by Mr.. La
Follette's proposed amendment to the
Indian bill prohibiting railroad com
panies and their stockholders from
acquiring coal lands in Indian Terri
tory and was argued until almost the
close of the session.
Notwithstanding Mr.. LaFOllette has
been in the senate less than three
weeks, he led the debate and occupied
more time than any other. He con
tended that the prohibition contained
in his amendment was necessary to
prevent the railroads from controlling
the coal business in Indian Territory
Several other senators, while express
ing themselves in sympathy with the
pupOse of the amendment, raised con-
stitutiOnal objections. The amendment
was laid On the table.
