LOCO CONSIDERED
A HARMLESS WEED.

DR.. A. W. Whitehouse, the veterinary
surgeon, who is now carrying on a Sc
ries of Investigations of the cure Of
American surra in horses, has just re.
ceived a bulletin from the bureau of
animal industry at Washington, giving
the results of some Investigations of
loco weed. The bulletin makes the
broad assertion, following a series OF
experiments, that loco weed is harm
less in regions where barium is not.
found Barium is a somewhat are and
more unusual metal and is taken up
into the tissues of the loco plant. Ths
cattle eat these plants when they are
young and the grass scarce and the
poisonous qualities of the metal are
taken into the system. The bureau
has found that loco without the metal
is harmless and nutritious, whereas
the metal itself produces exactly the
same symptoms that follow the eating
of the so-called poisonous" weed. The
discovery IS a valuable one DIR. White
house a y barium is quite are on the
Laramie plain, he never having a fatal
case of loco poisoning among his
horses and cattle.

the Century-ThorouehIy imbued
With Anarchist Doctrines.

Denver, Colo, Feb. 25.-District A.
torney George Stidger returned from
Cripple Creek last night. 1t is said
at his office that it is his intention to

Alio, when living in Italy, became So
imbued with anarchistic doctrines that
he was expelled from the church. Fol.

because | thought | would ease my
mind, which has been troubled for
years about these things"

LET CHILDREN BE CHILDISH.

Why is it that some mothers will en-
deavor to make their children ''preco-
cious"? The beauty of childhood is
childishness. A mannish boy or a wo-
manish girl is freak, and. in our view,
quite as unattractive as a childish man
or woman. The most natural child is
the most attractive child. 1t is the
simplicity and artlessness of children
that we love and admire. The child that
is taught touse ''big Words" to employ
a form of speech beyond its years, is
not half so winsome as the little chap
that speaks naturally in childish prattle.
Let the baby use baby talk. 1t is more
beautiful than the polished sentences
and rounded periods of the trained
rhetorician.
1t is equally true that the best dressed
child is the simplest dressed. Let the
garments of children be as dainty an6
elegant as may be, but let the whole
attire be plain, with as little as possible
of feathers, laces and fluffy ruffies.
And for heavens sake do not dress your
boy as though you were trying to make
him look like a red-jacketed monkey.
Somebody has said that Virginians have
spoiled their strawberries and negroe:
by cultivating them. The saying i:
more nearly true of some of the Vir
ginia children. Times-Dispatch.

HE THOUGHT RE STOPPED THE
PAPER.

1t is said an acquaintance met Horace
Greeley one day, and said: ''Mr. Greely,
I've stopped your paper"
"Have your" said the editor, "Well,
that's too bad," and he went his way.
The next morning Mr.. Greey met his
subscriber again, and said: 81 thought
you had stopped the Tribune?''
$50 l did,"
"Then there must be some mistake, I"
said Mr.. Greeley, ''for just came from
the office and the presses were running,
the clerks were as busy as ever, the
compositors were hard at work, and the
business was going on the same as yes
terday and the day before
"Oh" CALCULATED the subscriber, '1
didn't mean that i had stopped the
paper; / stopped only my copy of it,
because didn't like your editorials. -
''Pshaw!" retorted Mr.. Greeley, "it
wasn't worth taking up my time to tel
me such trifle as that. My dear sir
if you expect to control the utterance Of
the Tribune by the purchaseof one copy

times. He was wrong. Another nota-
bic computer, one Ludolph van Ceulen.
continued his calculations as long as he
lived and at his death had the result in
scribed on his tombstone at st. Peters
church, Leyden.
Yet third enthusiast worked out the
calculation to more than 700 places of
decimals, and even then did-not get so
near as Peter Metius, who guessed at
his answer. This latter lucky gentle
man asserted that the diameter is to
the circumference as 1l3 is to $50. This
is so nearly right that the error would
be less than n foot in a circle with a
2,000-mile radius.
For long time this approximation
was as near as anyone got, but in 1868
a woman mathematician went one bet
ter. Here is her formula: 'From three
diameters deduct eight-thousandths and
seven-millionths of diameter, and to
the result add per cent" We have
them notquite enough, but the shortage
is only at the rate of about an inch and
a sixteenth of an inch in IA, 900 miles.
Finally, an Englishman named Shanks
succeeded in reducing by more than one
half even this well-nigh infinitesimal
error, and there for the present the
matter rests.
1t may be of interest to note, how
ever, that some little while back man
made great hubbub in London because
he had not obtained the reward which
he alleged had been offered for the dis
covery of the correct solution, although
he claimed to have arrived at it. He
said he did it by actual measurement,
and it was found on investigation that
he had constructed a lockwood disk of
IL inches in diameter which he rolled
along a straight rail. The man was a
joiner by trade and evidently knew well
what he was about when he measured,
for his answer, 3.140625, is wrong by
less than in 5000.

Why, reading fiction's page,

"And then you also howl, said I.
I've often read you do
In many works by very high
Authorities on you"
"Of course howl" replied the sea.

SOME INS0LV-
ABLE PROBLEMS.
Queer Puzzles In Mechanics, Chem.
iStry and Mathematics.

There died in the year 1902 in st. Felix,
a small village in the Department of
Haute Garonne, France, a wealthy oc-
togenarian horticulturist who spent the
last 45 years of his life and sum va
riously estimated at from $50, 900 TO
$75, 900 in attempting to produce by
artificial civilizations blue rose.
He failed, and for the best of reasons
the task is one impossible of accom-
plishment. AS De Candolle, a great
authority on this subject, has pointed
out, yellow and blue are the fundamen-
tai types of color in flowers, and these
colors are antagonistic, mutually ex-
cluding each other. Yellow by culture
may be changed into red or white, but
never into blue. On the other hand,
blue will pass into red, but never into
yellow. We have yellow rose; hence
there is no blue.
The pursuit of the absolute zero point
is to chemist what the discovery of the
North Pole is to geographers. Ever
since Fahrenheit in 1924 broached the
problem, scientists innumerable have
striven to reach the goal in vain,
although each, in turn, has succeeded
in outdistancing the other.
Thus Fahrenheit boasted that no one
could ever attain artifcially to a great
er degree of cold than ne produced with
salt and ice-7o below zero although,
of course. he did not suppose the cold
ended there. Yet, within few years
of his death, more than 1902 below had
been obtained, and Prof. James Dewar,
whose researches in the field of low
temperature have brought out so many
new and startling facts, succeeded by
cooling down the rare gas helium by
the aid of liquefed hydrogen in regis
tering the almost inconceivable tenn
perature of APO below zero Fahr. But
this is not absolute zero, and the prob
lem remains unsolved.
Here and there, in odd corners of the
earth, gray, bent men still pore over
crucibles seeking the philosopher

The Chinese, who are rich in ancient

selves of life's lilies! There is not, in
