Atmospheric Changes.

Prof. Milne, the great British seis-
mologist, has demonstrated that at
least part of the weather and changes
in the atmosphere's temperature
seems to come from below instead OF
directly from the sun. He has been
in the habit of leaving an ingenious
Photographic arrangement in quarries
at night. The Photographic paper,
when examined later was found to be
marked from time to time by dark
bands, black spots and what are called
singeings Some of these markings
occurred at the time of earthquakes,
but by no means all. Scientists say
that most minerals become luminous
at frequent intervals. The cliffs of
Doyer have been seen suddenly to
gleam and hilltops become visible in
the darkness. The conclusion is that
the disturbing forces which go on
even at the very center of the earth
are converted before they reach the
surface into heat and light and make
all manner of difference in climate
and weather.

Some absurd clauses have found
their way into certain acts Of the
British parliament. One statute en-
acted punishment of IA years trans
portation for a certain offense, "and
upon conviction one-half thereof
should go to the king. and the other
half to the informer" Then there is
an act of parliament for the rebuild
ing of Chelmsford prison which stipu-
lated in one clause that the prisoners
should be confined in the old prison
until the new one was built and in
another-an amending-clause, that
the new prison should be constructed
out of the material of the old one.

Little Of the Precious Fluid Is Wasted

The nearest water supply Of which
Death valley camp could even occa-

and the tremendous daily strain on
that oasis by the desert mule skin
ners, freighters, left little to spare.
Water had to be hauled into camp in
barrels, therefore, on six, eight, ten
and twelve-team wagons, and the sup
ply on hand was always woefully mad

lars a barrel generally SIS; often the
price was one dollar for half gallon

HELPING ALONG THE TRUSTS.
Sending Money Away from Rural Dis

1t appears as If the trusts are in the

goes. Each trust industry means so

THINKS WHILE he works.
One Man Who saves Money for the
Firm.

There once was a man who did not
do things. He was running a certain
section Of certain large firms bust.
ness, and people began to talk Of him.
What's the matter with that fell
low?" said they. "Do you notice how
he does nothing? All he does all day
is--nothing, or, not much. at all
events. How does he manage to hang
on?
The other fellow made reply to the
effect that "He does not hang on.
He's anchored here. II he wasn't, he'd
be let out. But he'll never get any
further up. Watch him"
And everybody watched.
One day this certain firm happened
to have a certain something on its
hands that stirred everybody up. It
was big contract, and there was
something wrong with the wording, so
the firm had to win a big lawsuit or
lose lot Of money. And all the peo-
pie in the firm, everybody who did
things, began to run around and say:
what are we going to do? What are
we going to do?"
And the man who did not do things
sat at his desk and smoked.
Finally everybody had turned in
their suggestions and the firm was go
ing to begin to fight the case, for none
of the suggestions suggested anything
else. And then the man who did not
do things spoke.
Suppose I go over and see the
other firm and try to frame up q com
promise" said he. Wen both lose
money if it goes into the courts.
They'll lose; we'll lose. Suppose we
see IL we can't make them see it in
the same light"
The head of the firm threw up his
hands and collapsed.
Good heavens" he gasped, why
didn't somebody think of that before?"
And the man who did things made
reply: We've been too busy plan
ming the fight to have time to think
about it,"
And the head turned to the one
man and said How in the name of
all that is profitable did you happen to
have such an Inspiration"
And the man laughed.
That's no inspiration" he said /;
that's common sense. l simply have
sat back here-not doing things
thinking. And know we can square
it up"
And they did.
Moral: Don't do things-all the
/ time. Think a little.

LOCAL PRODUCE MARKETS.
How Agricultural Towns Can Assist In
Preventing CORNERS" in Produce.


Now and then complaint is heard Of
how the large packing houses and
handlers of produce manipulate prices
of eggs and poultry. These concerns
are enabled to do this through their
facilities for extensively handling
goods and preserving them in their
mammoth cold storage plants Their
system is to buy In the lowest market
and hold the produce until the demand
is such that prices reach the top notch.
1t is evident that were the business
men Of small towns to follow out to
some extent the plans of these large
houses, the home market would be ma
terially improved. In the agricultural
towns merchants are the most extern
sive handlers of farmers produce.
This business is incidental to the mer-
camille business. and few merchants
have proper facilities for the storing
and proper care of perishable goods,
therefore, Immediately upon receiving
supplies from the farmer, consign-
ments are made to the commission
houses in the large cities, and thus are
the large commission men enabled to
obtain control of the markets and to
manipulate prices.
Each agricultural community pro-
duces enough poultry and eggs and
miscellaneous dairy products to sup
port a prosperous exclusive produce
house. But when the articles that the
farmers have for sale are distributed
among a dozen or more stores, each
acting Independently, 1t is evident that
highest market prices cannot be paid.
The plan proposed for the organiza-
tion OF cooperative produce companies
in each town has many desirable
points in its favor. At small expense
a coldstorage plant of adequate capac-
ity to handle all perishable products
of the community can be put in order.
A plant Of this kind, If rightly man
aged, would greatly improve the con-
ditions of the local markets and higher
prices could be paid for produce than
the merchants could afford to pay for
the same.
A number Of towns in the middle
west, have adopted this system, and
with success. Not alone have the
home markets been greatly improved,
but a greater volume OF trade has
been brought to the merchants. Should
this plan be universally followed, in
agricultural districts, it would lessen
the opportunity for the manipulation
OF prices of produce, and the corner
ing OF the market" by the large COM
mission and packing houses.

THERE MUST BE MERIT.
Drawing the Line In the Matter Of
Patronage of Home Institutions.

While 1t is the duty of every home
loving and patriotic citizen to encour-
age and support home enterprise, it
should be part of the principle that the
home enterprises should be such as to
merit support. The matter Of service
and of competition are important. 1t
must be public spirited citizen, in
deed, who will willingly pay home mer-
chants exorbitant prices for what is
needed, when the same goods can be
purchased in some nearby town at
lower prices. The local bank should
be patrOnized, if we'll conducted, and
those in charge of it men of integrity
and enterprise. But ofttimes there
are Illustrations Of local industries be-
ing conducted in such unbusinesslike
ways as to not win the confidence Of
the people in the community. Under
such circumstances little censure can
be given those who will seek foreign
institution when they have money to
deposit
While 1t may be true that the small
er towns and cities do not afford un-
prlnclpled schemerS the chance to con-
duct business, illustrations sufficient
now and then, present themselves to
the people to make tdem cautious and
perhaps prejudice them against pat
ronizing some home institutions.
Too often it is found that insurance
companies, investment concerns, banks
and mercantile establishments put
forth the plea of being home institu-
tions and thus should be patronized,
while in fact their methods of conduct
are such as to not win the confidence
of the people. Merit is an important
factor in the home trade matter, and
no argument can be made that will
justify the people of a community Civ
ing support to institutions that are un-
sound, or which are managed in a way
as to impose upon the residents of the
community.

A SKIN GRATING TEST.
Husband Furnishes Patches for His
Wife'S Burned Body.


Salina, Kan, Dec. 2.-One of the
greatest cases of skin grating, it is
said, that has ever occurred in this
state, has just taken place at the farm
home of Mr.. and Mrs. U. S. Kissler,
eight miles southwest of Salina.
Mrs. Kissler is the subject and her
husband furnished 1878 pieces of
skin, which were taken from his arms,
legs and sides in the hopes that his
wife's life may be saved. One of Mrs.
Kissler's arms is now about covered
fully 500 pieces will have to be grated
on her legs before she can be dis
charged as cured.
Z Mrs. kissler was injured in an ex-
plosion of coal oil on August g last,
while using the fluid to start a fire.
Her clothing caught fire and before
the flames could be extinguished she
was badly burned all over the body,
but the right arm was the most seri-
ously injured The arm was burned
completely around from the hand to
the middle of the shoulder, and the
burns were through the full thickness
of the skin. The left arm was also
badly burned, but only to the elbow,
and these burns healed readily. She
was burned on both legs, from the
feet to the hips, and on the right side
there was place about ten inches in
diameter where the flesh was badly
burned
Since August "a, Mrs. Kissler has
week for treatment. The pieces OF
skin used for grating are about three
eeighths of an inch in diameter. Mrs.
Kissler is about % years of age and
has been married about two years.
They have no children.

about one-third of the total deposits of
the trust company at that time con-
sisted of money Of the Illinois Central
deposited by Mr.. Fish. 1t was only by
gradual Withdrawals during a period
of many months that this money was
finally recovered. Mr.. Fish assisted in
padding the reports Of the Trust COM
pany Of the Republic to the banking
department by depositing money of the
Illinois Central on the eve of such re-
lately afterwards.
Mr.. Fish loaned to the president of
the Trust company Of the Republic, in
dividually, $1,000 Of money of the ILL
nois Central, taking bonds of the Unit
ed States Shipbuilding company and
stock of the Trust company of the Re
public as collateral, and, as a result,
the Illinois Central lost over $40,0 900 of
the amount loaned.
when the election Of 1906 was ap-
preaching and Mr.. Fish, without con-
sulting his w-directors had sent
out much earlier than usual a request
for proxies on his own behalf, steps
were taken by the directors to issue
new request for proxies on behalf Of a
committee representing the boaro. An
agreement was thereupon signed by
Mr.. Fish, by which he agreed to vote
all proxies for the outgoing directors
and to fill the vacancy then existing by
voting for a person to be selected by
majority of the directors.
I'm direct violation Of this agreement,
in his own interest solely, he refused to
vote for the person selected by ma
jority of the directors and voted for
his individual nominee proxies given
him upon the faith of the agreement.
This was the climax of bad faith which
convinced his fellow directors that fur
Their forbearance would be inconsistent

specific acts thus enumerated were not
made known to several members of the
board until after the last election of

Seattle, Wash, Dec. "A railroad
ballasted with gold dust is what vir-
tually exists between Sudbury and the
crossing Of the Vermillion river, in
Northern Canada, for every yard of
gravel used in that section of the
Canadian Northern will wash from 81
to So in pure gold, and here and there
can be found a small nugget as big

scarce.
Right adjacent to the track. in the

time ago, but the prospectors, being
unable to find the gold in chunks,
gradually deserted the diggings, and
the excitement abated. The syndicate
formed by Ham has practically com
pleted the arrangements for working
the gravel by machinery, and opera
tions will start in the near future.
The Canadian Northern is in the
same position as the Tomiskaming &
Northern, whose right of way runs
through ValudDle silver QepOSllS near
c. bait, and in many places the main
line of the Grand Trunk Pacific crosses
deposits Of minerals in paying quanti-
ties. There Is no doubt that when
grading begins in British Columbia
some exceptionally rich finds will be
made in that northern country which
now is practically unknown.
It has become noticeable of late
throughout central and western Cana
da that all important mineral discov-
cries have been made by railroad grad
ers or surveyors, and their opera
tons have been carefully watched,
especially in those districts where min
eral deposits are likely to be discov-
cred.
The building of the several rail-
roads now being incorporated to run
from the Pacific Coast to Hudson Bay
should also result in large mineral
discoveries, and also will afford trans
portation for many rich finds which
have been made in that northern
country, but have not been developed
on account Of the great distance they
are situated from the nearest rail-
road.
