NATURE OF ETHER.
baltimore SUM-


The great Russian chemist. Professor
Mendelceff. discOverer Of the. famous peri
Oric law Of the elements. has contributed
to the new Russian Encyclopaedia Die
tOnary a remarkable paper, in which he
deals with the ether, A translation OF
this article printed in the current num-
Der of Nature, viii be of supreme inter
est TO all physicists. in opposition to
some recent thinkers, Mendeleef insists
that matter is not a mode of force or mo-
ton, but that Substances masses} and
phenomena (mOvementsl must be recog-
niZed as two separate CategOries, such IS
space and time, the substance of which
our thought has not yet penetrated, but
without which il cannot work The
ether OF space he regards a matter, re-
sembling argonorthelium, in having no
power Of chemical combination; It must
also possess extremely low density and
great raDidity of molecular motion In
order that the ether may escape from
the sphere of attraction of stars fifty
times as great as the mass Of the sun il
must have an atomic weight not more
than .600G00,GG0.053. The very small value
Of this figure explains why there is little
hope OF isOlating the substance Of the
ether IN the near future, and 1t also eN-
plains why It penetrates all substances"
We have got rid Of the old ideas OF light
heat and electricity being impOnderabl
and now. Mendeleeff considers. we can
say with certainty that the lumniferous
ether, if IL be real is pOnderable. al
though it cannot be weighed, just as air
cannot be weighed in air or water ia
water"

SURPRISED DOCTOR
Illustrating the Effect of Food.

The remarkable adaptability Of
Grape-Nuts food TO stomachs so disor-
dered that they will reject everything
else, is illustrated by the case of Mrs
H of Racine, Wis.
Two years ago." she says, 'I was
attacked by a stomach trouble so
serious that for a long time I could
not take much of any sort of food.
Even the various kinds prescribed by
the doctor produced most acute pain.
I'VE then got some Grape-Nuts
food, and you may imagine my sur
prise and delight when I found that I
could eat it with a relish and without
the slightest distress.
when the doctor heard of 1t he told
me TO take several small portions each
day. because he feared / would grow
tired of il as had OF all other food
But, to his astonishment, land that
of everybody else), / did not tire OF
day, till, after some weeks, my stom-
ach entirely recovered and / was able
TO eat anything my appetite craved.
MY nerves, which had become so
weakened that / feared I would become
insane. were also restored. by the
Grape-Nuts food IN connection with
Postum Coffee which has become our
table beverage. I appreciate most
gratefully and thankfully the good
that your food preparations have done
me, and shall be glad to answer any
letters inquiring as to my experience"

GET TELEPHONE FRANCHISE
Commissioners of Uintah County Act
Favorably on Petition of the
Bell COMPANY.

Vernal, Feb. 15.--The board of county
commissioners has granted q franchise
to the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone
company to construct. own and operate
a telephone and telegraph system in
Uintah county. The franchise is not
exclusive. 1t is also conditioned upon
the completion of the system by Octo-
Der of the present year.
This forenoon Watts Thompson, q
sheepherder. brought In twenty-three
coyote peits to the county clerks office
and received the bounty on them. Mr..
Thompson says that the coyote tribe is
increasing in spite Of the bounty and
the individual efforts of the sheep own
ers to eradicate them. The gentleman
is we'll informed on the subject, as he
has been the foreman of several herds
Of sheep for over ten years.
The last few days have been warm
and springlike, and the fifteen inches of
solid snow we have had is rapidly dis
appearing Present indications are that
we viii have an early spring. This is
a welcome change from the three
months Of unbroken cold weather we
have passed through. Since November
the mercury has ranged most Of the
time from about s degrees above zero
to ten below. Both sheep and cattle
rise in the temperature and melting OF
the snow will leave the winter losses
about normal.
Building material for the reservation
is now plentiful as all the sawmills are
running full blast. One strong COM
pany has opened up a lumber yard in
Verna1 and are piling up large quanti-
ties of building material to be ready
for the spring trade.
The priee of hav on the reservation
next spring will, without doubt, be
nominal. The early spring will leave
a surplus of hay in the vicinity of Yer
nal. and the reservation is the only
available market. There has also been
about $50 tons Of hay shipped in from
Heber City to Theodore, at the juno
ton Of the Duchesne and Strawberry
rivers. This UTlooked for supply of
hay will provide amply for the people
who will begin early in the spring to
make their homes in the great Uintah
basin.

stated that the ordinance introduced in

Lake x Ogden Railway company for the
right of way for the line between Ogden
and Layton, to which point the road Is
