Glass is made ididescent by being
exposed, in red-hoI condition, to the
fumes of salts of tin, barium and
strontium. Red is produced by the
strontia, blue by the baryta, and blu-
ish white by the tin. In ancient glass,
which is more opaque, iridescence Is
due to partial decay.
In some parts of Europe corncobs
are used for building purposes. The
cobs are collected and taken to fac
| tory, where heavy compresses crush
and mould them into blocks Of various
sizes just as bricks are variously
moulded. These blocks are bound
with wire so as to make them hold to-
gether They are then soaked in tar
to make them watertight, and are
ready for use after this treatment. Or
course, they are much lighter than
bricks, are always dry, and make coed
houses.

Studies of the violent earthquake,
which occurred in the Balkan peninsu-
la April 4, 1904, made by DR.. Emilio
Oddone, professor in the University
of Pavia, show that the shocks were
transmitted through the entire body
of the earth, and were reflected from
the antipodes back to- their place OF
origin in about 33 minutes. Compar-
ing the records of other great earth
quakes, Dr. Oddone concludes that
the average time required for vibra-
tion to traverse the globe and return
by reflection is from 90 to SO minutes.
The earth thus appears to be not al
together unlike great bell suspended
in space and vibrating throughout its
whole mass under strokes, which, conf
paratively speaking, observes the
Youths Companion, are no more than
the tapping of fnger-nail. DIR. Cd

ExTRAvAoANT GOVERNMENT.

Now that q campaign Is over, vic

Of the Republican party, a Democratic
newspaper can call attention 10 ex-

that It seeks to either misrepresent or

The Leader seeks not ulterior mo

wonderful extravaganza (if Il he other

out the Republic; In fact the com
mercial forces have also caught the

America on less than what was con.

MILIrAMr DEMOCRACY.

No better demonstration OF there
being no place for those weak Of faith
and apologize in manner in politics
Is showa than in the campaign just
closed.
This applies to state and Nation.
In indiana where Taggtrt and Kern
fought the Republicans because they
were of the opposing faith we sweep
state and a few hundred votes would
change The electoral college In that
the most bitterly partisan state of the
union. In Nevada Francis Newlands
led the militant Democrats to vic
tory that eliminated every Republi-
can from the legislature, insuring
Newland's return TO the United States
senate by unanimous vote. In Nebras-
ka Bryan aad followers swept the
Republicans off the map. while Shat.
roth and Patterson took Colorado into
tho Democratic fold. The veteran
Harmon led Ohio to gubernatoifal
victory and made the native state of
the Republican candidate say that he
was 10000 vutes weaker than the
party four years ago In Oklahoma
the villified and assailed Democratic
governor fought with the weapons of
power. backed by his militant asso-
clates, holding Oklahoma In the
Bryan column, saving tho state ticket
by handsome majorities.
Where then Is the lesson?
Massachusetts and New York we're
lost because the Democrats prefaced
their campaign with apologies AMI ex-
plantations to the enemy actually
apologized to the plunderbundl Tried
to exonerate themselves for opposing
the stock iobbers and the men who
have no political sc.uples: yea, no

Mr. Bryan and the militant fighters

Arkansaw View OF II.

ArkansaW View OF ".
Organized labor was dealt q pretty
stiff blow on election day. The result
demonstrates they have no cohesive
voting force except on a vote to raise
the scale or shorten the hours. II
demonstrates that the memner Will
largely vote their politics regardless
OF whether the candidate is n friend
or an enemy Of labo-, but that Is their
privilege as it Is the privilege OF every
other citizen. There are many bust
ness men OF the country, who, down
in their hearts despise the labor or
ganizations. who will have less hesit-
ancy in preciptating a fight against
them this year than they would have
nad last year. We believe that on ac-
count of the exhibition OF weakness
displayed by labor in voting last Tues
day there will be more labor diff
culties the coming year than there
were last year. but we hope not. The
practical demonstration that they will
not follow n leader minimizes their
importance In the political equation
