not being given much credence. Old
rumors connecting the name of Pender
with other women are being revived.
If Miss Sjostedt will agree 10 testify
against the man. the case will be pre-

ROOSEVELT WILL NOT RUN
Continued from Page One.

Speaker has been conspicuously absent
from Mr.. Roosevelt's Office since he re-
turned 20 Washington last month They
had long conversation. and il was taken
that the Speakers visit was connected
with the Clayton resolution.
After Mr.. Cannon reached the Capitol
he had a conference with John Sharp
Williams. who visited the White House
with Representative Clayton, the author
Of the third-term resolution Mr. Will
Jams and Mr.. Clayton urged that the lat
ter be recognized during to-day's session
of the House, and that this resolution be
allowed TO come Up
No announcement OF the Speakers re-
ply has been given out, but it is believed
that Mr.. Clayton would have sought
recognition to-day and he would have
got It. The resolution would have 10
come TO committee. unless some member
interposed an objection. Unanimous con-
sent would have been required, as The
committees OF the new Congress have not
been announced. and the Clayton meas
ure was. therefore, not referred. The
President IL is argued, has saved the Re
publican majority in the House from any
embarrassment that might have been
caused by the Clayton resolution.
The Presidents renunciation Of the
thlrd-term idea-if he ever had an ambi-
tion TO succeed himself In l90S-is re
garded as narrowing the contest fog the
Republican Presidential nomination.

his intention to retire from the Presi-
dency on March 4, 1909. he will not, OF
course. retire from the political contest
which is now going on. and which viii be

HIS RULING PASSION.
4 Business Proposition That Just
 Failed of Success.


 Failed of Success.
 There lived in Detroit man who was the champion letter writer to the newspapers and to the heads of all public enterprises. One of his fads was to write every day to President Led yard of the Michigan Central railroad and tell Ledyard wherein he was fail ing in the conduct of his road.
 There was letter for Ledyard every morning. They annoyed him, and he sent for his general counsel one day and said: Russell. I'm getting tired of these letters. I will give you 5000 more q year if you will find that man and stop him for twelve months
 Three thousand dollars more q year appealed to Russell, and he went out to find the letter writer He found him and made business proposition. Now. see here," he said. ''I want you tO stop writing letters to Mir. Lcdyard If you will quit for q year l will give you S1,JOO.'
 The letter writer consented gladly. Things went along swimmingly for eleven months. Ledyard was happy. and Russell was happy. Then there was q wreck on the road. The letter writer could not resist the opportunity. and he wrote to Ledyard and told him what he thought about the road and its president and its management. Ledyard sent the letter to Russell with this indOrSement: This is where you lose S3,U00." And it was-Satur- day Evening Post.

A curious Church

The most singular church in the world is probably St. Johns. at Davos Platz, in Switzerland. Dayos PIatz is over 5000 feet above sea level and is famous as q winter resort for con sumptives on account of It's great pu- rity of air and protection from high winds. St. Johns church is a very small building, but nevertheless it has two steeples. One of these is much larger than the other, towering high above the church and presenting q most singular appearance. being twist ed after the manner of a corkscrew. The steeples contain some fine chimes. which in ancient times were used to sound the alarm when there was q threatened invasion of wild animals.

Amphibious Man.

Man becomes almost amphlbious in certain regions. Temperature permit ting. he swims as we'll. dives better. than many animals - better, for in stance, than any dogs. The Greek sponge fishers and the Arabic divers must have sight almost as keen below water as that of the sea otter. They have even learned by practice to con trol the consumption of the air supply in their lungs. The usual time for hippopotamus to remain below water is five minutes. The pearl fisher can remain below two and a half minutes. In tank diver has remained under water for four minutes. But tempera- ture marks the limits of mans amphib- ious hahits.-London Spectator.

AReAND LAMPS.
A Swiss Doctors invention ard What
 1t Accon1plished.

It Accomplished.
 What did Argand do for the lamp? Examine an ordinary lamp in which coal oil Is burned. The chimney pre- tects the flame from sudden gusts of wind and also creates a draft of air, just as the fire chimney creates draft. Argand's lamp was the first to have q chimney. Look below the chimney and you will see open passages through which air may pass upward and find its way to the wick. Notice further that as this draft of air passes upward 1t is so directed that when the lamp Is burning an extra quantity of air plays directly upon the wick. Before Argand the wick received no supply of air Now notice-and this is very important that the wick of our modern lamp is flat or circular, but thin. The air in abundance plays upon both sides of the thin wick and burns 1t without making smoke. Smoke Is simply half burned particles (sooD of burning substance. The particles pass off half burned be- cause enough air has not been sup P1'SN' -NO" Al snhh, bs hidhiAS thS wick thin and by causing plenty of air to rush into the flame. thereby caused 1t to burn with white flame.
 After the invention of Argand the art of lamp making improved by leaps and by bounds. More progress was made in twenty years after 17SS than had been made in twenty centuries be fore. New burners were invented. new and better oils were used and better wickS made. but all the new kinds of lamps were patterned after the Ar gand-S. E. Forman in St Nicholas.

WORK OF THE LUNGS.
What hss Happened When an Athlete
 Gets sWinded."

Gets aWinded."
 The football match is stopped. "MaD hurt" sTake time onf''-these are the expressions to be heard when a player is '.winded." But why has he col lapsed7 Why Is he gasping for air7 A few facts concerning the lungs will explain matters.
 You have 200 cubic inches of air in your chest, and you only breathe out at each expiration about twenty to thirty of these. Try as hard as you can. you are unable to breath out all the air. It would be bad for you If you could. for your lungs are In kind of bag. Prick this, and the lungs col lapse.
 The footballer has had too much air knocked out of him. No wonder he gasps, for the atmosphere Is pressing on lis chest at the rate of fifteen pounds to the square inch. He has lost some of the air inside which should press against the pressure out side.
 What about the work of the lungs? Suppose the word laundry" is used instead. That is just the idea The impure blood travels to the lungs quite dark red in color. The reason is that it contains much carbonic acid gas.
 Try breathing through q tube into some limewater. Notice the clean wa ter becomes milky. This gas is con tinually passing from the blood into the lungs.
 You have to breathe six or eight times before the air reaches the bottom of the lungs. The first breath only gets to your collar stud. The oxygen you have inspired meets some carbonic acid gas. and they change places.
 Down the oxygen goes till it meets the air cells. Imagine q prison cell with transparent door. The blood. as it were. can see the oxygen. Right through the skin wall the oxygen passes. The carbonic acid gas also passes out into the lungs to be ex- pirel
 What is the blood taking away? Your blood is full of small live bodies -corpuscles-and these will take as much oxygen as you can give them. The blood is so happy when 1t obtains some of this gas that 1t changes it's color from dark to light red. Away 1t goes round the body and in a minute or two comes back to the lungs with a fresh cargo of impure gas.
 In one day you breathe out 15.000 cubic inches of this impure gas. Weigh if. and there are six ounces of solid carbon There Is enough material for q dozen lead pencils. Put this fact in another way.
 You will breathe out In one year 137 pounds of solid matter, perhaps as much as you weigh.
 Where does 1t all go?" you ask. What about the trees and shrubs? They are principally made of carbon. Perhaps tree contains some parts Of what was once man.
 A microscope will show you holes on the under side of a leaf At certain times Of the day this breathed out gas from human beings enters and passes into the interior of the leaf
 Now, leaf is green because It con tains millions of chlorophyl bodies. These take the carbonic acid gas eat, If you will, the carbon-and set the oxygen free teN he rebreathed by man Pearson's Weekly.
