Rubber and Its PROGRESS.

Two interesting facts with regard to
rubber are brought out by the inter-
national rubber exposition now in pro :
gress at London. One is the great
variety of important uses to which the
substance has been put, and the other
is the progress that. is being made in
increasing its production Thirty coun-
tries have sent exhibits to the EXPOSE
ton In question, and it is estimated
that there is displayed in the building
where the exposition is held $1,000 600
worth of rubber in it's natural and
manufactured forms.
In his speech opening the exposition,
Sir Henry Blake declared that during
the last half century rubber has played
a greater part than any other sub
stance in expediting human progress
Without rubber, no ocean cables, with
all that they mean of friendship and
commerce among nations, would have
been laid. The working of every fac
tory is in some way dependent upon
machinery joints, connecting pipes, etc
1t enters into the preparation of a null
titude of things, such as telephone
mouthpieces pumps, vessels for hold
ing acids, electrical batteries, and all
kinds of levers and switches for cleo i.
trical work while made into betting, it
is said to be superior to leather.
1t has been used for street paving,
and it is only it's cost that prevents its
general use for this purpose, since its
advantages are manifest. Rubber
paved streets would be cleanly and
noiseless and are said to withstand the
wear of heavy traffic better than brick
or stone.-Columbus Dispatch.

SHOULD BE MORE THAN THE
USUAL SERVICE


The assembling of congress is always
interesting and more or less dramatic.
That event this year was more SO
than usual. This is the first time Tor
thirty-f1ve years that congress has met
without Senator w. B. Allison of Iowa,
responding to the roll call. He has the
longest continuous service to his crNdit
of any man who has ever occupied a
seat in the senate of the United States
and few men have exercised greater in
fluence in that body. There have been
senators who have had greater in
fiuence in the country at large than
Senator Allison, but it is questionable
if any man ever occupied seat in the
senate who had greater influence with
the senate itself.
He was too quiet and timid to make
a strong impression upon the great
popular opinion of the American peo-
pie. He possessed elements of charac-
ter that the public was not acquainted
with. We believe Senator Allison to
have been a sincere and upright man
but too conservative to become a leader
of public opinion, yet, with sufhcient
conscience and clearness of judgment
to yield to the public demands when
positively made. He will be a greater
loss to the senate than to the country.
This may be somewhat paradoxical
statement but Allison'S calm judgment
was always relied upon by great ma
jority of the members of the senate OF
both parties to get them out OF en-
barrassing difficulties. and so courteous
and considerable was he of the feelings
of everybody that he never became en-
broiled in any bitter personal contro-
versy There is probably not single
member of the senate who met in the
chamber Thursday who has any recol-
lection of that body without senator
Allison as a potent influence in it. 1t
is, due to him that more than the usual
memorial services be held in his mem
ory.-Salina Journal

KANSAS COMMENT
THE MAKING OF EASY MONEY.

THE MAKING OF EASY MONEY.
Edward Wheed and Edward West
colt were sentenced in Chicago yester-
day to serve ten years in the federal
prison at Leavenworth, and their COM
Spanions, Gustav Bayer and Harry
Michaels, were given four year sem
fences IN the same institution. The
trouble with these young men is that
tney are not so smart as they thought
they We're; in fact, they. are far from
being as wise as they should be in
these days of liberal education. They
thought they were too smart to work
Ior living, and that they knew how
20 make a lot of easy money. Their
loea wasn't new, nor did their plan
or action suggest originality; they en-
gagged in the printing business, five dol
lar bllls being their speciality. It is the
governments intention to enjoy mon
opoly In this particular branch of
printing and engraving, and the mOnOp-
oily Is Jealously guarded by secret ser
vice officials all over the country, aided
Dy bankers and others who know the
earmarks of real money. So it hap
pened that the two Edwards and Har-
ry and Gus found the business too ex-
citing even for men who would rather
do something else than work for a liv-
ing. After floating enough of the mon
ey to arouse curiosity, which wasn't
much, the men surrender and pleaded
guilty to the charge against them, as
that seemed to be the easiest way out
of their difficulty. And that is not so
easy when you reckon all that prison
sentence means. That is one peculiar
ity of trouble; so much easier to get
into 1t than out of it. OF course it
doesn't always follow that the peni-

end to high finance lately.-Atchison

Aviation College Course.

AS a result of his studies in aero
nautics Grover Cleveland Looming will
next spring receive the degree NJ A.
from Columbia university. Mr.. Loen-
ing took his A. B. last June at Column
bia, where his excellent work in the
physics department had attracted the
notice of the professors.
1t was due to the discussion of his
theories of aerial navigation with DR..
Hallock that the physics department
conceived the idea of arranging
course in aeronautics in order to de-
velop the theories which Mr.. Looming
holds. At present there is but one
student in the course, but Prof. Hal
lock expressed the opinion that the
number would increase steadily, espe-
cially with the further development of
the flying machine.
Aviation he said, has ceased to be
a fantastic dream, and scientists all
over the world are awakening to the
vast possibilities afforded by the field
of aeronautics. New York Herald.

Some Curious Undertakes, SIGNS.

There are three undertakers' signs in
different parts of the city which have
called forth both humorous comment
and vigorous protest. The first is of
doubtful significance the second brings
natural fear of death to the reader,
while the last speaks of the ceremony
attendant at death in the light of a
formal farce. The first sign is to be
seen in the northern part of the city,
and reads: "A Step in the Right Di-
rection.'' One is at a loss to know
whether this refers to death or the
course of the surviving relatives. The
second sign advertises complete fun
erals at reasonable rates. and con-
cludes: I'VE have done it for others
and can do it for you" The last sign

CHANGE THE RULES
Football Committee Alters For
ward Pass in Behalf of
Weaker Teams.
ONE MAN TO HANDLE IT
Use of Hands and Arms While Bal
Is in the Air Restricted as
to Defensive Side.

New york, Jan. 27.-Important
changes in the rules governing the
forward pass which will prove of adj
vantage TO the weaker teams, and
other football legislation, were made
by the intercollegiate football rules
committee Saturday night The new
rules on the forward pass covers par
ticularly Illegal touching of the ball.
When Illegally touched the side max
ing such play loses the ball TO its OPP
ponents on the spot from which it was
made.
According to the new rule only the
man of the passerS' side who first
legally touches the ball may there
after recover it until it has been
touched by an opponent. If a forward
pass is legally touched, and then rolls
free and is then touched by another
player of the Dassers side, the ball
goes to the opp ients at the spot
here touched. The committee decid-
ed that while the forward pass is i'll
the air. players of the defensive side
may not use their hands or arms on
their opponents except to push them
away to get at the ball.
To Eliminate Holdings.
| In order to eliminate holding and
tackling it is provided that players OF
the side making the forward pass, who
are eligible to receive the pass, may
use their hands and arms IN just the
same way that players go down under
the kick. A new rule was passed
making the intermission between the
halves 10 minutes.
