Some people laugh at the idea that
the Republican party is in any way
responsible for the big crops in the
West. Let's see about that little.
Don't Republican policies provide a
market for all the farmers can raise?
Don't they raise more because they
have the market? Then why isn't
the Republican party in a measure
fer the bountiful crops?

Human nature seems to be the same

performance for nothing. That's mean.

sCRAlg OF SCIENCE.

The fiftieth anniversary OF the inven-
tion of the aniline dye is to be celebrated
by the world of science by the placing of
q portrait of the inventor, DR.. Perkin,
In the National Portrait gallery, and q
bust In the rooms of the Chemical So
eiety at Burlington House, London.
Gas Is the fundamental basis of the
sense of smell, says Dr.. John Aitken,
i. K. S., according to the Scientific
American. Berthelot says that one hum
dredth of quadrillionth of a gram Of
musk can be detected by the nose. Dr..
Altken has found that of "a odorous
substances investigated not one gave off
its perfume in solid particles; nothing
but gases and vapors escaped from any
of them.
- Two distinct organizations, both COM
posed of men eminent in science, are
studying the sun with extraordinary
care. One, the Solar Commission, es-
tablished in 1903, is devoting it's re-
searches to the effect of the sun on the
weather and climatic changes of ths
earth. The other, the Solar Union.
formed in 1904, is endeavoring to ascer-
tain more than is now known about the
sun itself. Both are European associa-
tions.
Prof. Spring, Belgian who has been
studying the causes of color in water
under various conditions, says that If
water otherwise entirely pure contains
one part of every 100000 of ferric
hydrate, an iron compound, it will APP
pear green, where the depth is consid-
cradle. With less than one part of fer
ric hydrate in every 20,OO0,OOO it will be
blue. But less thar one part of vege-
table mold or humus matter in every
40,OO0,000 will make the blue tint of
water disappear.

myself was afraid, so | planned to take

secondstory windows in front when
they heard me ascending the stairs. To

"One of these men who may jump
from the second story has sworn to

Potomac, which will hold its thirty
seventh annual reunion coincident
with the unveiling in the capital city.
The discussion caused by the appear
ance of the model of Gen. Mcclellan
in a slouch hat, at period when that
was not worn, led to the substitution
of the cap which Gen. Mcclellan wore
at the time, in which the statute de-
picts him, when he was in command of
the Army OF the Potomac.
Various other works of MacMonnies
of a military character are to be found
throughout the country. He designed
the army and navy groups for the SOL
diers' and sailors monument at lndi-
annapolis; the figure of Victory in the
battle monument of West Point; and
of his other works in this country may
be mentioned the magnificent bronze
doors and statue of Shakespeare in the

fair at Chicago, to which reference has
already been made.

Robinson came TO the woor. Without

At this he opened the door carefully,
but wide enough to enable me to get
my foot through the opening and force

back was as dependable as | had been
told he was, for he followed instruc-
tions to the letter, pressing in behind
me and taking Robinson off my hands
so that | could be free to go after the
others. In a flash he had Robinson
under cover of his revolver, and threat
ened him with death If he made any

In the meantime the bill on the Re-

color Of the beard and altogether more
definite, came from Parsons. | sent
Operative Kennoch to st. Louis and
Louisiana to pursue the investigation
there.
While these things were happening
| received word through the United
States marshal at Springfield. ILL.,, to the
effect that deputy sheriff at Vandalia,

pass 500 counterfeit bill at the Farm
ers and Merchants national bank in
the latter city. This bit of news, con

was decidedly important, and | lost no
time in getting to Vandalia. | found
| that at all, bearded, farmer looking
man of about so had rendered a $1G0
