Atmospher and Water Pressure.

The earth's surface is the plane Of
demarcation for atmospheric and wa
ter pressure. The barometer indicates
increased pressure as we go down in
mines and decreased pressure in as
cending in the air. Water also in
creases in pressure as directly as the
distance beneath the surface of the
sea. The atmosphere has no known
difference in composition at the great
est heights observed. 1t is its light
ness or rarity that affects the lungs at
great heights.

of interest in the Rockford Chautauqua

Board-Manager Higler's Offer.
Milwaukee, Aug. 31.-If the state
board of agriculture wants them, all
the decorations which were formerly
used by the Carnival association for
decoration purposes on upper Grand
avenue will be donated to the board,
and will adOrn the state fair grounds
when the fair opens. A formal prop
osition will probably be submitted by
Manager Higher of the Alhambra thea
ter.

We're used in the carnival" said Mr..
Higher, land if they are of service to
the fair people 1 will gladly let them

worth of material in the lot. 1t in
cludes all the arches and pillars that
were used in the corso on upper Grand
avenue. The wiring and electric trim

tt overhauling the material can be put

stored in the Schiltz brewery, but have
been notified that l must move it at
once and have decided to let the fair
people have it if they can make use
of it,"
Members of the Citizens Business
league when told of the offer expressed
surprise that the material was still in
existence. 1t was thought that it had
been burned in the exposition fire, but
it now appears that it was mUved two
weeks before the fire.
81 believe that the fair management
will be glad to get the decorations"
said Secretary Watrous of the Citi-
Zens' Business league.
Il know that some time ago the mat
ter was discussed, and it was then re-
ported that the carnival material had
all been burned. The pillars and
arches could be used to excellent adj
vantage, and | believe that the grounds
could be made very attractive with

Necedah, Wis, Sept. Three
leopards from Ringing Bros circus
menagerie have terrorized the resi-
dents Of the towns of Necedah, Ark
dale, New Lisbon, Mansion. Cranbury
Center. BabcOck and surrounding
country for several days. The ami
mails escaped from their cage as the
cages were being loaded on trains at
Necedah.
Posses from all of the towns armed
with shotguns. rifles and revolvers
have hunted the animals for several
days. Their first success came when
one of the leopards was shot in the
barnyard of Peter r. Stivers, three
miles south of here. by Henry Samson
of Arkdale. The animal had killed
one COW and was crouching for a
spring at another when discovered by
Samson
Children Kept Indoors.
Since their escape not a child has
been allowed outside the doors Of the
homes and even the women are afraid
to go out at night. Every house,
barn and shed in which the human
race and the domestic animals are
harbored has been dOubly locked and
barricaded. Firearms which have not
been used for years have been cleaned
and oiled. Every man, woman and
child is on the watch for the dreaded
beasts.
Frank NJ Reid. town chairman Of
this place, received word that three
head of cattle had been killed on the
f"-m of James Williams, north of the
y.ilage. Reports were received from
Arkdale, New Lisbon and Cranbury
Center that the animals had been seen
prOwling in the woods on the outskirts
of these places. The same night DR..
G. Fl. Parham. one of the Necedah
posse, sighted the leopards on Frank
Hudson's farm and fired three shots,
but missed. In the morning Frank
NJ. West discovered that four of his
cattle had been killed.
Posse Scores Woods
here that the leopards had been sighted
at different places during the night,
no one succeeded in getting shot at
them Three cattle were killed on
HudsOn's farm late at night. William
Greenburg and his sons. Morris and
Fred, discovered the animals in a
stretch of timber west of here Rein
forced by other residents of Necedah,
they secured the woods, but were I'M
successful.
From the conflicting reports received
it seems that the two remaining
leOpards We're seen in every section of
the country and the hunters We're COM
pletely at sea as to the locality which
should be searched The last report
received gave the number of cattle
killed seventeen.

TIE nYING RENOLrTIoN

The Russian revolution. which for
a time threatened to rival the ccle-
brated carnival of revolt in France.
seems in imminent danger OF dying
out, leaving the Car and the re-ac-
tionaries To undisputed sway in that
vast country. The Russian >iiua-
ton has SO far failed to develop one
great rcvolutionist. They have no
Robespiere. no Marat. no DantOn,
in fact no man with the courage,
ability or, We might add, ferocity
sufficient to make him an ideal reyo-
lutionist. OF course it j. still posi-
ble that somewhere from the vast
confines Of the Russian Empire "A
man may come forth. who will be in
strumental in guiding the Russian
people from the dark and uncertain
ways OF the present into something
approaching liberty and light, but
in the meantime the BurcaucratS
are regaining absolute control OF
affairs. They are shooting out the
spirit Of revolt in the army and
navy by daily executions. and they
are using the now celebrated BLACK
Hundreds 10 brighten the populacc
back TO their allegiance TO the Lit
tie Father" There is no gainsaying
the fact that things look gloomy for
the Russian people Their only hope
lay in the revolution and the reyO-
luton has failed them up to this
time. What the fall will bring forth
no man can prophesy, but whatever
may happen is likely to bring addi-
tiOnal misery TO "a people already
heavy laden and sorely tried. Russia
is weak in her unweildy sizcandenor-
nous population, and the same
agencies which wrought "A revolu-
tiOn in France do not seem able TO
succeed in that country.
