| Rev. I. A. HUNDRED, pastor of the

matte war on the saloons of that

Sunday law.
AS the result Of Rev. Hundreds
efforts the city council OF Mound CITY
passed a resolution at meeting held
last week ordering the saloons to
close on Sundays until the close of
the license year, June 1908. Last
Sunday the saloons disregarded the
order and kept open as usual. Rev.
HUNDRED then stepped into the arena
and took a hand with excellent re-.
suits The offending saloonkeepers
were arrested and We're taken into the
city court. Saturday papers were
secured to bring them into the county
court to answer for their violation of
the law and this will be done today.
In the meantime Mound City had a

every saloon keeper seeing that there
was much activity and still more
doing in the matter, kept his saloon
closed as tight as a drum all day.
The good citizens of Mound City

placed in the hands of Rev HUNDRED

has offered a S. reward for any evil

le is in the fight to stay until the
lnish and the fact that he has the
prominent citizens of the town back of |
lin in the movement is assurance
hat Mound City saloon keepers will

1t is stated by the Militar-P Politische
Korrespondenz that the German emperor,
in his criticism of the recent maneuvers,
which lasted about an hour, spoke with
great severity of the leading of the cav
airy which did not show proper initiative
to take advantage of it's opportunities. In
this way the success of the Red side was
compromised, and it was only owing to
a very long march made by the Nine
teenth infantry division, enabling it to
come into action, that the critical situ-
alton was improved. While this was TAX
ing place six divisions of cavalry, with
their artillery and machine guns, re-
mained almost inactive. On the Blue side
the leading was better. and some regi-
ments were congratulated on what they
had done, but the emperor called upon
Gen. Won Kleist, inspector general of
cavalry to point out to the cavalry COM
manders the principal faults committed.

1t is proposed to mark the four hum
dredth year since Calvin's birth in 1909
by erecting at Geneva a memorial of the
Reformation. 1t is an international un-
dertarkins 70 commemorate the wide in
fluence of the Reformation as seen in
broad historical view. Not only the great
Genevan, but the great men of other
lands who have carried on his liberating
and uplifting work, will have place in
the proposed memorial. A strong COM
mittee in Geneva, representing all varie-
ties of opinion, has already raised sub
scription averaging franc from every
Protestant in the city. Cooperative ef-
forts are being made in France. Germany,
Great Britain and Holland. America will
do her share. This was evinced by
meeting recently at Union Theological
seminary. Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Dart
mouth, Johns Hopkins, Princeton were
represented there, and stirring addresses
in advocacy of the enterprise were made
both by Calvinists and anti-Calvinists. as
those terms are popularity understood.

The singular spectacle of men drilled
in the art of handling hand grenades
will soon be possible in the United

ment within the past few months has
been experimenting with small gren-
ades similar to those used by the Jap

The explosive to be used is some form
of picric with a highly sensitive and
strong fuse. Men in good practice are
able to throw these grenades $50 feet
and over height of sixty feet.

The use of explosive engines in the
larger classes of warships is being
considered seriously for the reason that
there would be an entire absence OF
smoke and not so much storage room
would be required for gasoline as for
coal In addition no space would be
occupied by boilers, and the engines
would not take up any more, If as

is customary to explain these changes oy

as in eastern Virginia, such connection Is
clearly impossible, owing to the depth of
the wells and the nature of the interven-
ing beds, some of them dense, tough mars
and cays. These beds. however, though
they do not transmit water, nevertheless
contain it, and as water is practically in
compressible,a any variation of level on the
river or bay is transmitted to the well
through the water filled gravels, sands,
clays and marls. When a porous bed IS
tapped by a we'll the water rises to the
point of equilibrium and fuctuates as the
hand of the ocean varies its pressure on
the beds that confine the artesian flow.

The formation of hail through electrical
action, according to the new theory of
scientists attached to the weather bureau
at Washington, is an interesting and evan
wonderful process.
The wind draws out a cloud into long.
narrow strip. In that form, owing to the
great amount of surface exposed to the
air, the cloud evaporates rapidly, and the
rapid evaporation produces intense cod.
Dry particles of snow are then formed,
and these, by friction with the water
Los Angeles herald., 1907-11-17

drops, quickly become charged with negn-
tive electricity and since negative at
tracts positive. film Of water is instantly
frozen into a layer of ice.
fAs this thickens it's outer surface re-
mains moist, the water not freezing there
so rapidly. whereupon the electrical charse
changes from negative to positive, and
the particle is repealed by the water drops
and driven to the outer parts of the cloud.
Here the increased cold covers 1t with
snow again, and friction charges it anew
with negative electricity. Repulsion is
now once more changed for attraction,
and the particles rush back into the
cloud, receiving upon their surfaces an
other film of water, which is turned into
second ice layers.
Thus the growing hailstone darts zigzag
through the clouds, piling up its alternate
layers of snow and ice, until gravitaticn
gains control, and sends it, with jingling
crowd of it's fellows, spinning to the
ground.
