New York, Nov. Awhile the cleo
tion of William Howard Taft as presi-
dent by large majority Of electoral
votes was an absolute certainty today
the result was so close in Maryland
and West Virginia as to center atten-
tion upon those states. The latest re-
turns during the forenoon indicated
that Bryan has. carried West Virginia
and Maryland by small pluralities. To-
days returns showed also that Bryan
had won over his own state of Nebras-
ka and that the state has elected a
Democratic governor. Although Taft
Carried Indiana, Ohio and, probably
Montana, all three of those states ap-
pear to. have elected Democratic gov
ernors, Judge Harmon apparently
winning in Ohio and Thomas r. Mar
shall in Indiana. On the other hand
while Bryan carried Missouri by safe
margin, the election of Herbert s.
Hadley, the Republican candidate for
governor, was indicated. At II o'clock
It was certain that Republicans will
control the next house of representa-
tives.

Indiana Democratic Governor.

indianapolis, Nov. 4.-For the first
time since Thomas A. Hendricks was
elected governor on the Democratic
state ticket and U. 8. Grant received
the electoral vote of the state for the
Republican national ticket. Indiana
has given q. a.plurality to the Republican
candidate for president and at the
same time elected Democratic candi-
date for governor. h
Whether Thomas r. Marshall, gov
ernor-elect will carry the rest Of the
state! ticket with him is matter OF
conjecture. According to the latest
estimate Taft received plurality Of
about Is. 900 and Marshall was victori-
GUS over James e.. Watson, the Repub-
lican candidate, by about 5000. Con-
gressional representation from this
state will probably be seven DEM
ocrats and six Republicans. The leg

night, being clung to during portion
of today, at least.
For William Taft, Republican can
didate for president, the state of
North Dakota has cast a majority
vote Of between 10000 and $4,000
votes. Returns from thirteen out Of
the forty-three counties in the state
give Taft majority of over 5000 and
he will run at about this ration
throughout the state, getting a total
majority we'll onto the $4,000 mark.
The entire Republican state ticket
has been elected, excepting the gov
ernorship which is not decided as yet.
The majority for the ticket will be

BEES MARK MANS COMING.
Wild Ones All Descended from Those
Once Domesticated.

All the honey bees in this country
having originally been imported from
Europe or Aisa, there is no racial diff.
ference between the wild ones and the
domesticated; those that live in trees
are simply the descendants of those
that from time to time have taken
French leave" from their owners
hives and reverted to state of ma
ture. The vast bulk of the wild bees
are Of the German or black race, while
the standard domesticated bee is the
Italian; but that, however. is only be-
cause the Germans were the first to
be introduced here. Just when the
Germans came is in doubt, but it was
some time in the seventeenth centu-
ry; certainly 1t was not until near
the close of the eighteenth century
that any bees were found west of the
Mississippi. The Indians used to SAY
white man by the appearance of bees
in the woods. The Italian bees were
first imported in 1860 Better temper
ed and more Industrious than the Ger
mans, they have become popular with
apirafsts; but as many still keep the
German bee, and others have the hy.
brid formed by the crossing of the
two races. while countless Italians
now have taken to the woods, there to
breed more hybrids, it is clear that
there is no sure way of distinguishing
between the wild bee and the domesti.

The regitherm is a novel apparatus

In the unveiling Of Paul Wayland

4 on the Place du Louvre. Paris, an
interesting episode reaches it's culmina-
ton. The statue represents the feel

ished by the American people toward
France and is in grateful remembrance
of the gallant officer who rendered his
services to Washington in the time of
the Revolution. The gift was made
possible through the offerings of thou
sands of American school children,
whose combined gifts reached q total
of $4,000. To this amount was added
$4,000 accruing from an appropriation
of $4,000 by congress. This amount
in bullion was coined into souvenir
dollars, which sold for 81 apiece, max
ing $1,000 for the fund and increasing
the total amount available for the stat
ue to 100000. Mr.. Bartlett received
the commission for the statue, and he

REFINING ROCK A |
Crude Material Melted and Purified b,
Intense Heat.

A new method of refining rock salt
has been discovered. Instead of the
old and slow process of liquefication in
water and subsequent evaporation the
salt is melted and purified by fire.
While in a liquefied state all impurities
are precipitated SO as to be easily sep
arated after cooling.
The London Lancet says "a demon.
stration of the new process was given
quite recently at some works near st.
iIelens. The rock salt was carried in
barrows to the top Of a huge oven and
dropped in on to a metal plate heated
to wilderness by gas. Rock salt re.
quires for its melting a temperature OF
1,4OO degrees F., to which point the
table evidently was heated, for it
flowed off it as a liquid and fell into a
recess below. After a time q quantity
was drawn off into a large mold and
compressed air was forced into it till a
violent ehnllition was set up to facili-
tate the precipitation of the impurities
to the bottom Of the mold. After the
mold was allowed to cool it was found
that all h impurities had sunk to the
bottom, leaving pure white solid salt
at the top. The impure portion of the
block is separated easily by a blow
with Il chisel. The pure salt may then
be ground to any degree Of fineness re-
quired. The new method is said to be
much cheaper than the old one and
much more economical of time, taking
hours only while the old one required
days. Another advantage Is that by
the fire process the salt is freed from
water and in this anhydrous condition
Is very slow in absorbing moisture
from the atmosphere, so that no ingre-
dents need be added to prevent it from
'caking." Some hundreds Of tons have
been refined. tested and analysed with,
1t is said, quite satisfactory results, and
works on a large scale are to be erect
ed where the new method can be car.
