conviction Ross listened to no voice save
that of his own conscience
He was a soldier of fortune, who,-after a
picturesque career, turned up as senator
from Kansas. His abilities were not above
the ordinary He had everything to gain
and nothing to lose except his self-respect
by voting for conviction. He was beset
on all sides to so vote and waited until
the last moment to see IL he could recon-

conscience. He would have had rich re-
wards had he voted with the majority.
But he said plainly that he could not see
that johnson was guilty of crime He
hated Johnson and all his political works.
but that his removal of Stanton was
against the law he did not believe and it
can be said that almost no one believes 1t
now. Most Of the senator's who voted for
conviction afterward were glad that they
that they had been mistaken. But Ross
got his reward of poverty and disgrace
and lived almost forty years.
Ross vote for Johnson meant his political
death, and none knew 1t better than the
senator himself Just after his vote was
registered Senator Ross turned to Gen
John b. Henderson, then a republican SEN
ator from Missouri. and remarked:
I realize that I have this day dug my
grave with my own hands"
The feeling was SO bitter against Ross
in Kansas that his life was endangered
for while out there. and as he was UNI
able to make q living in that state he
eventually moved away to New Mexico,
where he became the editor of a small
newspaper at Santa Fee President Cleve-
land appointed him governor Of the terri

SCIENCE NOTES.
Corks Made From Paper.

A machine for making corks out Of waste
paper and paper pulp has recently been
perfected and patented. This machine
makes corks out of all kinds of waste
binary corks, as they are impervious to
acids or oils. Tests made by chemists and
the larger users of corks say they are far
superior to the old style in every way.
Electric Power From Wind.
From very early times the wind has been
used by man as source Of mechanical
power and so far is 1t from being super
seeded by other forces that projects have
recently been put forward to utilize 1t to
a far greater extent than ever, especially
for electric lighting.
with this object in view. an Investigation
of the average state of the wind has been
made in England. 1t has been found that
for approximately half the time the mean
wind velocity is ten miles an hour. and
for about one-third Of the time fifteen
miles. In the winter the averages are
higher. The great difficulty arises from the
calm periods. which may last three days
or even week: but it has been shown
that economical lighting plants can be
line motors to take up the work whenever
the wind fails.
Paper Garments.
For long time inventors and manufac-
turers have been endeavoring to utilize
paper for the manufacture of garments
Now a .Saxony concern has apparently
achieved considerable success in this en-
deavor. Almost every one Is aware of the
increase of warmth possible by simply but
toning newspaper inside of the coat, and
paper vests have had considerable sale.
The objection to paper in its natural state,
however, is that 1t is said that 1t rustles
and that it cannot. of course, be washed
The Saxon firm has devised a method of
spinning narrow strips of cotton and paper
into fabric. and paper and wood are also
combined, either making serviceable suits,
jackets and skirts. Xylolin. as the new
fabric Is called, is eream-colored may be
washed repeatedly without injury and is
being sold at very low price. A sufficient
quantity of the goods to make a suit may
be had fer from two to three dollars.

DMUND c. ROSS. who, when a
senator of the United States
from Kansas, gave the decisive
vote against the conviction of
President Andrew johnson at his
impeachment trial in 1868, died in wretched
poverty and complete obscurity in little
town In New Mexico just the other day.
His was the reward of integrity and fear
less moral courage. He cast his vote
against the conviction of Johnson knowing
full well all that it entailed. He did his
full duty as he saw it, and for the follow
ing forty years he reaped the harvest of
his uprightness in political ignominy, party
disgrace and pinching poverty. There were
six other republican senator's. who had
previously announced their intention of
supporting Johnson on the ground that not
sufficient evidence had been presented to
warrant his conviction. but these six were
men Of great political prominence, who,
although driven to political coventry, were
still able to maintain themselves.
When it came time to vote on the I'M
parchment of Johnson it was recognized
that everything depended on the vote of
Ross Aside from him the lineup was COM
plete, and Just one vote was lacking for
purposes OF conviction. The anti-Johnson
men supposed that he could be kept in
line, although he had expressed doubt about
the justice Of the Presidents conviction on
the charges brought. It IL now generally
recognized that In casting his vote against

Some Facts About Panics.
From the Wall Street Journal

From the Wall Street Journal
II the recent slump in the stock mar
ket may be dignified by the term panic"
1t was the first panic in financial records
to take place in the month of March.
1t is common belief that panics usually
occur In the fall of the year, generally in
September and October. and some econo-
mists have taken pains to explain this phe-
nomenon. Their explanation Is that during
the summer months. when the days are
long. the productive forces are most at
work and large extensions take Mace
which, In connection with the haryests
produce strain upon the money market
that often eliminate in break and panic.
The trouble with this theory is that 1t
fact large number of panics take place
In the first part Of the year, most of them
In May. For instance. the Mississippi bub-
BILE of ITO eliminated in May; the disas-
May; the panic of 1888, caused by the
failure of Overend, Guerney & Co. took
place In the same month; the Grant &c
ward failure was a May disaster, and our
with the collapse in Cordage. The Flow
er panic in the stock market In 1899 and
the great Northern Pacific panic of 1901
were also In May
On the other hand, the South Sea bubble
eliminated at the close of 1920; the first
Black Friday took place on December G.
1745; the American panic of 1s14-started
September 1, and the minor panic of 1873
began in October. The English crisis of
1925 started in December; our Tremendous
crash of 1857 began on August "a: the col
lapse of the gold corner In 1869 resulted
in Black Friday. September "a: the panics
resulting from the Chicago and Boston
fires occurred in October. 1871, and No
vember, 1872: the Barring panic took place
In November 1890. and the Venezuela panic
in December. 1895
