FOR FULL PUBLICITY
TAFT INSISTS THAT FUNDS MUST
 BE PUBLISHED.
Will Apply New York Law to Every Cent Received by Republicans s-AEr. Dover to Begin
 Work

Hot Springs. Va. July 10.--That the publicity of campaign funds is to be a feature of the coming campaign has been, made very clear here today
 Mir. Taft had extended talks with Chairman Hitchcock and with George R. Sheldon, Treasurer of the National Committee, who arrived today and the necessity for the strictest possible com pliance with the New York law in re- lation to the publicity of campaign funds of the National Committee was the chief topic.
 Referring to suggestions that the Re- publican party might receive funds outside of New York and not include them in the report of the National Treasurer MT. Taft replied promptly that it was possible to commit per- jury in such case, but he secuted the Idea that the purpose of giving pub licity to the funds of the party in the coming national campaign Is not en- tirely sincere.
 Mfr, Sheldon also declared that the New York law in respect to all the funds that come to the National Com mittee in whatever State they may be collected will be published with the names of the donora
 Elmer Dover. Secretary of the Na- tional Committee, is expected here to- morrow. It is understood that under the present arrangements for the cam paign Mir. Dover will at once enter upon active work.

Thunder and Lightning.


 The oldest astrologsrs and the young est astronomers are unable to account for the amazing scarcity of thunder and lightning this summer. Thus far and 1t is nearing midsummer-we have had only two good. oId-time thun- derstornls, accompanied and egged on by chain lightning. The grandest sound known to man is that of the arr tillery of heaven. cut loose on the af- ternoon of . white-hot day when life is a burden and all hope of relief is dead. like to hear the rotten roll. az of fat beer kegs bouncing over the clouds: like the fierce flash of forked lightning. resembling the tongue of a rattlesnake giving warning; I rejoice at the terrific explosion, so elean-eut. so sharp, so unerring. We used to count our pulses between the flash and the shock. each beat meaning that the bolt struck a mile away. Six beats. six miles.
 Many persons are afraid Of lightning have known highly intelligent men and women to seek safety in feather beds during a storm. or sit in the cen ter of a room on blankets. But there is always one consolation--you will never see the bolt that kills you.

Employers Now Facing an Actual
 Shortage of UnskiiIed Labor.
 Brooklyn Eagle.
 The important and most welcome an- nouncement is made from Pittsburg that S0.0o0 idle workmen were practi- caliy put to work today. The mills of the great steel companies of that city were placed on full time. Additional blast furnaces will be put in blow dur ing the week. Thousands of men will return to labor in the mining and coke districts as a consequence. And the employers face G fact remarkable and startling under the circumstances. There is actually shortage Of un- skilled labor. So many foreigners went home last winter who have not return cd that labor agents have been put to work to gather in the help needed.
 Pittsburg does not mince matters. It has no doubts. 1t does not hesitate to say that prosperity has returned. It points to the railroads having their headqua rters in that city, and shows that they have ordered their repair shops on double time. 1t points out jubiantly that many of the railroads have been caught short of cars in this sudden return of prosperity" So tha car building companies are preparing themselves to meet big demand.
 All of this Is most reassurtng. It Is beginning to be trite remark that the steel trade is the basic trade; that when that Is prosperous other trades are prosperous. Pittsburg Is the home of steel production. If 1t has started into life so will all the steel works in other parts of the country. Structural steel must be in demand. So must steel rails. So must the first units of steel that are the bAsis of other n1anufac- tured products. It is all very logical.
 Information follows of the starting of the Tn omas Furnace Company in full force and on full time; of the re- sumption of extension construction on the Hartman lines; of the putting back at work of 5000 men on the various divisions of the Illinois Central: of 100 employees laid of iTi the shops returned to work on the Nnrthwestern Railroad; of 1.400 men re-employed by the Great Lakes Coal Company In Pennsylvania, and Of the recall of brakemen and fre- men owork on the Pennsylvania Rail- mad

AMERICAS GREATEST LAWYER.
EmInsmt saa Pletar..sus.. Ba. Re

Eminent and Pleturesque,. But Re-
 fuses to Charge HiGh Fees.
 H. H. Casson In Broadway Magazine.
 The problem of the railways to-day what they shall do to placate courts and legislatures and how. is one de- r1anding the most extraordinary legal ability. The men already before the public who have the equipment for this task are few in number.
 There is one great lawyer who may prove to be the Moses that shall lead the railways out of the wilderness of hostile legislation, man who is at once so eminent and so picturesque that his name deserves to be the last word In the discussion of the sub feet John c. Johnson, of Philadelphia.
 There are ninety-five Johnsons in who's Who" but not this Johnson. There are no full-page stories of his law battles in the Sunday papers. He has never been photographed. He has never been interviewed. He has prac- ticed law for forty-five years. and been a leader of the American bar for twenty years; and yet outside of his clients and a small group of personal friends. John c. Johnson is eompara- lively unknown.
 It was Johnson who argued the first of the anti-trust cases before the United States Supreme Court. and won it. getting the sugar barons out of trouble. When the 2-cent-rate law was passed in Pennsylvania last year, it was Johnson who had it declared unconstitutional and thrown on the scrap heap. And not for q quarter of a century or more has there been a great lawsuit in Philadelphia in which Johnson was not on one side or the other.
 Other lawyers have no fault to find with Johnson. except that he refuses to charge high fees Tn this regard he is incurable. The biggest fee to his credit is said to have been one of s100000 which - received from the sugar trust. in the famous Chapman case, ten years ago. But usually his fees are regarded as mere pittanoes by his fellow lwyers. was told of one instance in which Johnson had saved a New York street company from losing a franchise. He sent bill for S5,00O. It promptly mailed him a check for t2B,00o. The next day 1t received a check from Johnson for s2o.ooo, with this short explanations: NO gifts"

Hos Weather Is Benenclal.

NeW 4CEh SQHs
 It will doubtless surprise a good many persons who have suffered more or less inconvenience from heat during the last few days to learn that high temperature Is beneficial rather than harmful to buman life. This is the averment lately made in a London newspaper by an English physician, pr. H. H. Riddle. and it is unquestion- ably supported by vast amount of careful statistics and an imposing array of scientific authorities.
 There is no foundation for the cur rent opinion that the heart and the lungs bear most of the stress of hot weather. The assumption seems to be based on a supposed analogy between a human being and dog. which latter notoriously pants when overloaded. There is no such analogy. for reason that human beings rely chieftiy on their presplratory system to regulate the control of the temperature of the body, while the doy, not having pres piratory glands comparable to ours, has to make greater use of his lungs in preventing the body temperature from being to much influenced by out side conditions.
 The truth is. as experiments in india have shown, that the ordinary Euro- pean's breath rate is not increased but actually reduced one-fifth during his first attempts to accommodate himself to the heat of that country. The same experiments have shown that the hearts action also Is not augmented even in tropical temperatures. The liver and spleen are the chief sufferers. but even the congestion that may be caused in these organs by high tenn peratures may be left out of account by those persons who are careful what they eat and drink.
 The most important effect of heat on the human body lies. of course. in It's action upon the skin. the result being that the excretions from the skin are Increased in quality to an extent

 Louisville, Ky, July i0.--A dramatic denunciation by member of the board of aldermen in full meeting tonight was followed by the arrest of Lee Figg, a prominent and wealthy con- tractor on a charge of bribery.
 Aldermen c. A.

The offer had been made eafiier in the day according to the story told by the alderman and had been clinched during a private conversation in the aidermanic chamber only half an hour before ct which time Figg had slipped Hess valuable diamond ring he wore, the jewel to be redeemed for $500.
 Figg was arrested and gave bond in the sum of s5,000.
 He made statement declaring that evory word of Hesss statement was false.

me Vvonders Of water

London Tit- Bits.
 The extent to which water mingles with bodies apparently solid Is wond- erful. The KIittsring opal, which beauty wears ns an ornament. is only flint and water. Tn every plaster of Paris statue which an Italian carries through our streets for sale there is one pound of water to every four pounds of chalk. The air we breathe contains i've grains of water to each cubic foot of It's bulk. The potatoes and turnips which are boiled for our diner have, in their raw state, the one 75 per cent and the other 90 per cent of water.
 If a man weighing ten stone were squeezed fiat in a hydraulic press, sev- en and one-half stone of water would run out and only two and one-half stone of dry residue remain. A man is, chemically speaking, foFty-flvs pounds Of carbon and nitrogen, difrus- ed through five and a half pailfuls of water. Tn plants we And water thus mingling in no less wonderful manner,
 sunAower evaporates one and q quarter pints of water . day, and 6 cabbage about the same quantity. A wheat plant exhales in 1724 days about 100000 grains of water. An acre of growing wheat, on this calculation, draws and passes out about ten tons of water a day.
 The sap Of plants is the medium through which this mass of fluid is conveyed, It forms A delicate pump. by which the watery particles run with the rapldity of Q swift stream. By the action of the sap, various proper ties may be communicated to the growing plant. Timber in France ia for instance. dyed by various eolors being mixed with water and poured over the root of the tree Dahlias are also eolored by q similar process.
