Madison.-To a University Of Wis
consin professor, Benjamin w Snow
Of the physics department, belongs the
credit for annually reproducing with
unqualified success celebrated eX.

a single time Prof Jacoby of Column
bia university, New York, recently was
accorded much praise. The expert

earth reyolyes about its axis, and was
performed for the first time in 1851
by Jean Bernard Leon Foucault, a
well-known French physicist who in
1850 won an enduring reputation
among scientists by proving that the
velocity Of light in air is greater than
in water. Foucault's experiment has
not been performed frequently State
ments have been made that the dem
onstrations have been neglected, but
they were made without knowledge

ances SO quiet and unassuming has
been the Badger instructor about his
achievements that few of the hun
dreds Of university students who an
nually witness the performance Of the
experiment have realized its impOr-
lance, although the experiment has
been a regular feature Of his course
Of physics during the last ten years.
The Importance attached to the eXper-
iment as performed recently by Prof.
Jacoby OF Columbia alone has called
attention to the value of the instruc.
ton offered at the state institution.
The experiment as performed at
Science hall annually is simple in
The extreme, but the scientific princi-
pies upon which it is based are not
generally understood The materials
which Prof Snow employs are only
rope 100 feet in length suspended
from the top of Science hall. a large
metal bob which completes the pendu-
ium, and sheet Of paper on which the
pendulum makes its different marks

an illusion. In reality, the pendulum
moves in the same direction, but the
body under it with its people and the
particular sheet of paper on which the
marks are made reyolves and causes
the movements Of the pendulum to
be seen at different angles Science
has taught that a pendulum always
moves in the same plane. Consequent

County Division.

The efforts of the Nampa Boosters to
create new county out of portions of
Canyon and Owyhee counties are meeting
with a great deal of opposition, not only
in Canyon county in general, but in the
territory that it is proposed to include in
the new county. The settler upon gov
ernment land does not generally possess
much taxable property, but what little he
does have is all in sight and the assessor
gets it all listed, while he has to assess a
banker, merchant or large stockman foI
what the party states he possesses-and
we all know that they never over estimate
their holdings to the assessor-so that
the rancher pays more taxes in proper
ton to his wealth than any other class O

Christmas Doinss in owyhee.

Christmas day in Silver City is one Of
the most beautiful days of the year. With
the temperature a few degrees above
freezing, fine sleighing, clear skies and
every one feeling happy, itpromises to be
a day long to be remembered Nearly
every family in Silver had their own
Christmas tree and the children are all
happy, being loaded down with presents.
At DeLamar the public Christmas tree
entertainment on Christmas eve was a
pronounced success, everyone had good
time and with the beautiful singing of
the DeLamar Glee Club and other exer-
cises the crowd was well entertained
The marriage Of Miss Jennie Bachelor and
Archie Morrel, two of DeLamar's most
popular young people, took place and
helped to promote the good cheer pre-
vailing throught this jolly camp.
AT Dewey the Christmas festivities were
started with public Christmas tree and
entertainment given by the school child
rem and young people. Mr.. and Mrs.
Irwin furnished the Christmas trees, OF
which there were two. The hall was
tastefully decorated and large crowd
congregated to witness the distribution OF
the many presents and enjoy the enter
tainment A number of people from Sill
yer went down to Dewey last evening to
enjoy the program, and all speak highly
of the exercises and the splendid rendi-
ton of the program. The training of the
children for the occasion was in the hands
Mrs. Jennie Farrer Avery, who took
great pains with them and under hei
competent instructions they reflected
much credit on their instructor by theil
successful performance.
In the rendition of the play, Trouble
with Theatrical Man," by the Dewey
Dramatic Club, too much praise canno
be given the performers for the masterfu
way that the sustained their parts. Es
pecial praise is given the young man wh'
took the part of "the Gay Paree Cir
from Paris" His make up was perfec
and many could not believe but that h
was the genuine article.

the tax payers. Therefore it is not sur
prisiHg that the ranchers included in this
new county proposition are against it, for
they can reasonably expect their taxes to
be more than doubled to meet the de-
mands Of this new county. There will be
a new courthouse, jail, offices and other
buildings to be built, the salaries Of full
set Of county officers, costs of transferring
records, their proportion Of Indebtedness
of the county from which they were taken,
and the remaining expenses Of the county,
bridge building, roads to maintain, etc.
On the other hand you may be little
farther from the county seat, but most of
your county business is done by mail and
the postage is just the same in either case,
but when it comes to digging up two or
three times as much money to pay your
taxes every year it means privation and
suffering for the necessities of life.
The raising of the tax money is much
more of problem with the settlers than
the security Of bank deposits, for ninety
nine times out of hundred he has no
money to deposit: and to put tax mort
gage on his land and other property, in
order that a few town boosters may profit
in the creation of county seat, and that
few more politicians may get an office
at good salary does not appeal very
favorably to the rancher. Not long since
we heard prominent promoter say, in
speaking of the settlers now located on
lands tributary to Nampa and Caldwell,
that st is only question of short time
until these poor settlers will have to throw
up their claims, or sell out to some one
who has money enough to properly i'm
prove the land, and thesooner this comes
about the better it viii be for the towns
