The Story Of Zero.

The word zero" Is from the Spanish
and means empty" hence nothing. It
was first used for q thermometer in
1706 by Prussian named Fahrenheit
BY experimenting with snow and salt
Fahrenheit found that he could pro
duce degree Of cold equal to that OF
the coolest winter day. 1t happened
that the day ON which he made his
final experiment was the coolest that
anybody could Der, and, struck
with the coincidence of his scientific
discovery, he hastily concluded that he
had found the lowest degree Of tenn
perature, either natural or artificial
He called the degree Zero and con
structed thermometer graduating up
from zero to boiling point which he
numbered PIP and the freezing point

attorney general told him he had no
power to do SO, as the judgment was
hnal. 1t was then, he said, that he
told Pierce that the only thing left
for him to do was to dissolve the old
company, organize a new one, come
back in the state with clean hands
and obey the law. He said he did not
know when this dissolution took
place nor when the new company
was organized. He said he guessed
Pierce wishes now he had taken his
advice; it would have saved him a
lot of trouble. He said that when
men failed to take his advice they
most always made a mistake.
He said if he had brought back
the Waters-Pierce Oil company he
would have done less than his crit
les have done. He said the attorney
general sued the Fort Worth Stock
Yards company for S17,000,000 and
compromised for ST. 900. He said
his doctrine was you ought not to
compromise with trusts. He believed
in putting them in jail. He said this
would break them up. If you fine
trust he turns around and fines the
people.
After reciting other alleged COM
promises made by the attorney gem
eral the speaker said he compelled
him to bring suit against the Stand
ard Oil company.
He said the reason the attorney
general was holding back on this suit
was because he had a contract with
Gruet not to prosecute the Standard
He said the bankers were opposed
to him because he did not want
banks to issue money but wanted
the government 20.
He took up the question of man
serving two masters, and said he
acknowledged no master on earth
He said he would take no absolute
command from any man or set of
men.
Senator Bailey then jumped on
that patriotic Texan who has done
more to break up trusts than any
attorney general who has filled the
office since the days of Jim Hogg He
said Davidson was not only selling
his name for 500 a month, but was
renting his property in Galveston for
purposes which he could not men
ton before the ladies. They are de-
fined by our statutes as being Grim
inal, and they could put Davidson in
jail and they ought to do it, and yet
they put this man up as an apostle
of civic righteousness.
He said Coon" Johnson was a
CRATER in finance and a hypocrite in
politics. He said he called Johnson
Coon" because he advocated white
teachers for negro schools. And yet
they put him up as fit candidate to
speak for the democracy of Texas in
the national convention.
Some one in the audience asked
about Skinner. The speaker said he
would spare Skinner this time He
said Skinner was a member of the
legislative investigating committee,
and at the close he did not offer a
resolution censuring him.
Senator Bailey concluded his ad-
dress at o'clock. When he finished
speaking his friends surrounded him
to shake hands with him
After a short rest Senator Bailey
departed for Italy where he was due
to speak at 4 O'Clock.
In the audience which heard SEN
ator Bailey were a large number of
ladies of the city and quite num-
Der of school children.

THE WHITE sILkie NEGRO.

In 1645 sailors returned to England
from an African cruise reported hav-
Ing seen chickens with black face and
sheepskin caps. coats and stockings.
They got the grand laugh.
In 1776 man appeared In Belgium
with one of these wild and woolly
chickens and furnished witnesses to
prove that 1t was the tender offspring
Of white rabbit and white hen. He
even showed the bunny and Biddy.
AS in America, people loved to be
humbugged, but when scientist
proved the cross impossible the I'm
postor fed.
Perhaps some one saw one Of these
bunny chickens laying and hence the
report that bunny lays the Easter egg.

hard to settle; for it is found in Japan,

furnished by gentleman of extensive
acquaintance on both sides of the At

new pseudonym and with even more
daring effrontery, had within a fort
night sought to intrench himself in the
most exclusive circles of Washington.
Armitage's cigar slipped from his fin
gers and fell upon the brick hearth as
he read:
"The holiness of this clever adven-
turer is said to have reached a climax
In this city within a few days. He
had, under the name of Armitage,
palmed himself off upon members of
one Of the most distinguished families
OF the capital, whom he had met
abroad during the winter. A young
gentleman Of this family, who, 1t will
suffice to say, bears a commission and
title from the American government,

at a Washington club only a few
nights ago, and this plausible adven-
turer was among the guests. He was
recognized at once by one Of the for
eigners present, who, out of considera-
ton for the host and fellow guests,
held his tongue. but 1t is understood
that this gentleman sought Armitage
privately and warned him to leave
Washington, which accounts for the
fact that the sumptuous apartments at
the New American in which Mr.. John
Armitage, alias Baron Won Kissel, had
established himself were vacated i'm
mediately. None of those present at
the supper will talk of the matter, but
1T has been the subject Of lively gossip
for several days. and the German en-
bassy Is said to have laid before the
Washington police all the information
in its archives relating to the American
adventures Of this impudent scoun-
drel."
Armitage rose, dropped the paper
into the fire, and, with his elbow rest
ing on the mantel shelf, watched 1t
burn. He laughed suddenly and faced
about, his back to the flames. Oscar
