Work IN Intense Heat.

persons who complain of the heat
when the thermometer reaches the
nineties," said a steamship engineer,
seldom think of the discomforts o
men employed in gas works, in ba8t
furnaces and in steamships, where the
firemen have to endure an atmos )hera
ranging from 11S to 140 degrees. N
all these and many other places where
big boilers are located the men wear
very little clothing, and while they m
doubtedly suffer from the exposure,
they do not feel the heat as much IS
might be supposed. The explanation
of this fact is that these men are not
reached by the humidity. They are
working in places where the artificial
heat is so intense as to drive cut the
humidity, and 11S or more degrees of
heat in a pure, dry air is not felt as
much as a mixture of 80 degrees Of
heat and 80 per cent of humidity, that
tells on people and sorely tries their
vitality"

SensItlveness Of Earth.

The invention Of the seismograph
for the study of earthquakes has led
to the discovery Of the surprising SEN
sitiveness of the crust Of the globe to
forces that might have been thought
too Insignificant to cause distortion.
Among these forces is the alteration
in the pressure Of the atmosphere dur
Ing the passage Of storms, causing a
perceptible fitting Of large areas Ct
ground. Prof. Amori Of Japan declares
that a storm which passed over the
sea east of Tokyo recently caused the
bordering land to tilt downward, not
withstanding the fact that the sea
rises with release Of atmospheric pres
sure, and the accumulation OF water
more than suficed to counterbahnce
the decrease in weight Of the air.

PAPAL LORE in COIN
SERIES THAT EXTENDS OVER A
THOUSAND YEARS.
Adrian /. tho First Head OF Church
to Circulate Currency--Leo XIII.
Was the Last-Rare Types
Are illustrated.

Not the least interesting OF the
pope's jubilee gifts was the unique
gold coin of Pope Innocent TX, which,
recently exhumed at Acqui, Italy, was
contended for by coin collectors, King
Victor Emmanuel being an unsuccess'
full competitor.
This coin, the only one in existence
Of the reign Of Innocent TX, was need
ed to make the Vatican collection OF
papal coins complete.
The papal coins exhibit the portraits
of many of the popes and their coats
of arms, and furnish metallic history
of the coinage of the church from the
first issues in the latter part OF the
eighth century down to 1870, when the
papal states were annexed to Italy
and the papal mint ceased operations.
The papal series Of coins Is one OF
the very longest, covering 1,136 years.
The first pope to issue coins was Ad-
rian I. The coins Of Europe were then
largely in imitation Of those OF the
Byzantine empire, whose gold byzants
were generally used throughout the
continent, and the coin Of Pope Ad-
rian was fair example of the coinage
| of the times. It showed full face
portrait, presumably Of st. Peter, on
the diverse, surrounded by the inscrip-
ton "Hadrianus P. p" and the cross
on the reverse, very much after the
style of the Byzantine pieces.
Many of the early issues of the
popes show the name of the reigning
pope and a representation of either
| st. Peter or st. Paul. Perhaps no Sc
ries of coins shows greater variety
of design or more skillful execution
The church, always a patron of the
arts, employed the foremost artists
of the time, and some Of the coins
are from the hands of such men as
Cellini and Francia.
A gold scudo of julius H., the de-
sign of which is credited to Francia,
shows finely engraved portrait of the
pope, with the inscription: Julius
Pontifex Maximus." A coin of Alex
ander VII, attributed to Paolo, shows
on the reverse the crossed keys and
crown, perhaps one Of the first of the
papal coins to bear this device.
The coins of the popes were struck
in many places, including Rome, Be-
logna, Avignon, Perugia, Terni, San
Severino and Gaeta. One Of the inter
esting pieces of the Roman mint was
silver ducat of Clement VII. This
piece, irregular in shape, was struc.'
in 1927, when Rome was in state @.
siege. On the diverse are shown the
arms and title of Pope Clement, With
the word "Ducato" inclosed by a
wreath on the reverse. To this same
pope is credited a jubilee five sequin
piece in gold, struck in 1925. Ii is not
unlikely that the latter piece was en-
graved by Cellini.

BANK INSURANCE ON TRIAL.

The attorney general of the United
states has ruled that national banks
In Oklahoma can not legally AVIAN
themselves of the privilege OF Joining
+, the stare banks in mutual insurance OF
bank deposits. The Oklahoma law COM
pels state banks to establish an In
s,Irance. fund for bank deposits and In
vites national banks to join the party
Il they so desire.
Al Lincoln Mr.. Bryan is said to be
wetting ready to take advantage OF the
attorney generals ruling and make
some democratic capital out OF 1t.
Wether the ruling was a necessary one
under the law or one Of those decisions
made possible by the uncertainties OF
the statute and born of q desire to
have it SO does not appear, hence the
attorney general is entitled to the ben
eft Of the doubt.
The effect of the ruling will be bene
fetal TO the country in the object les
son it furnishes to the country ny
contrast. In Oklahoma we viii have
the experiment Of insurance for bank
deposits in full force for state banks
and denied to national banks. If the
system tends to build up state banks
in public confidence as the advocates
of this insurance contend, the national
banks of Oklahoma will re-organize as
state banks while il the insurance OF
bank deposits promotes wild cat bank
ing as the banker standpatters argue,
the business of the state banks kill go

guaranteed safety for depositors Will
now have a decisive trial in Oklahoma

CHANGE THE PAVING LAW.

The recent decision of the supreme
court of Iowa in a Upton paving case
offers suggestion to law makers elect
which should make some member OF
the next legislature famous. In hold
ing that the contractor had no right
of recovery from the lot owner for the
value Of paving even after the supreme
court had forbidden the municipality
to assess the lot owner. the court
argues that the lot owner had never
been consulted in the making of con-
tract with the paving company. that he
had no choice or voice in the laying OF
paving and that the individual citizen
should never be liable personally and
privately for the public debts Of his
municipality.
In effect the court argues that the
contract for paving was made by the
municipality for a public improvement
and the contractors only source OF
compensation was from the municipal
ity with which he had made his con-
tract.
This view of court ought to sug-
gest to a law maker the fundamental
truth that street, pavement is an i'm
provement of greatest value to the
public which uses, the street and the
state statutes prescribing in what
manner paving shall be paid for should
be changed so MS to recognize the
truth.
Paving benefits the adjoining prop
erty about forty per cent in fact and
this property should never be assessed
for more than that portion of the ex-
pense. The same is true OF permanent
road Improvement on the rural high
ways The adjacent land assessed for
the forty per cent and all land which
has previously been assessed for adj
.jacent street improvement should be
omitted from the general assessment
to cover the remaining expense.
In the case of country highways the
county might stand 80 per cent. the
township 80 per cent and the adjacent
land 40 per cent with equity.
In the case Of sewers and public wa
ter service the principle of special
benefit is different. The lot owner
served gets greater proportion of the
benefit and it would be emincntly fair
to provide for special assessment dis
tricts for sewer construction and wa
ter main extension on the same princi-
pie as now governs the drainage OF
farm lands by special drainage district
assessments.
Here is field for wonderful i'm
provement in our present methods of
doing public business if some law
maker will only see it and get busy.

the rental value of such valued prop
erty and at the same time paying for
his home.
In this consideration remember we
were making for the borrower and
home purchaser an average of 71a per
cent interest. These monthly pay
ments of dues and interest are again
loaned to others. and when the earn
ings have reached point they are al
par or matured, the borrowers
mortgage is cancelled, and he has his
home paid for and free from the asso-
ciation's claim. We have matured
stock in 1870 months. Each year SER
les is opened, after determining about
how much money could he loaned dur
ing the year. A borrower is one
who paid SO cents per month on the
shares taken, and who has the privil-
eye of withdrawing the same at any

added to it. We limited the number
of shares taken to twenty, some asso-
Citations make the limit 100.
Black Hawk county, of which Wa
terloo is the head center, Is thoroughly
established in the building and loan
association idea. In all there are SIX
building and loan associations In the
county. and four of which are located
in waterloo and for the last twenty
five years they have been emlnenti!
successful, with loans standing today
in the sum of s977,700, and presume 1t
is safe to say that more than l,ooO

fy that at my home, LaPorte City, we
were proportionally as successful as

loaned at Waterloo, its ten banks have
grown and prospered and do not find
the building and loan association any

The independent voter knows that

uniting the necessity for parties, he
does not admit the necessity Tor the

nor does he admit the necessity OF the
close adherence to party ties in the
legislative councils, nor the compelling
OF adherence by such tron-clad rules
as have allowed bosses-not leaders -

no matter where their preferences

Expressions from the leaders who

before the primary, indicate that all

This Is due not alone to the elm

a possibility for difference of opinion
on matters of party policy, but also
to the realization that Iowa must
rally once more. as she did in 1895

protest against unsound political doc
trines promulgated by Bryan.
Bryanism has never been popular
in Iowa. Other states have been car
ried away by his polished but empty
oratory and brilliant platitudes, but
Iowa has increased her condemnatory
,najorities in comparative ratio with
the Nebraskan's speaking trips thru
ner territory.
These expressions are contained IN
the letters being received from the
Iowa editors. who reflect the senti-
ment in the various communities
General satisfaction, too. is ex-
pressed by. the Iowa editors in the
state ticket. Even those who frank
ly acknowledge that they had other
preferences before the primary are
united in declaring that the men nom
mated for state officers on the repub-
lican ticket are clean. capable men,
who have stood the test Of close scru-
tiny in their public careers with high
percentages.
