Alexandria Herald: A. II. Bailey,
OF Mitchell, was 10 Alexandria last
Monday, and was a pleasant caller at
this office. From 1881 until a few
years ago, Mr.. Bailey was a resident
of Plano township, this county. and
vas rtckoned in mis- day as the
political wat horse OF the republican
party Of Hanson county in his own
bailiwick. The old gentleman re-
called many interesting incidents
connected with the politics of the
county as far back as territorial days
and the date of his settlement in
Plano, and in spite OF his 80 years
and more of age, he warmed to the
subject Of present day political con-
ditions with quite as much ardor as
many younger men can boast, ex.
pressing himself finally as not
entirely satisfied with either branch
of the republican party at present,
and illustrating his position by a
very apt stony, which was mighty
we'll told. MIR. Bailey says that
during his residence of nearly twenty
five years in this county no con-
vention OF the republican party was
ever held which he did not attend,
ard that he cherishes contempt for
the county in only the n respect
that after the adoption of statehood.
no man was ever known to secure
election to any county Office from
his. township. The old gentlemar's
visit was the means Of recalling many
forgotten Incident, connected with
pioneer days in Hanson county and
was greatly enjoyed by the writer as
we'll as many others OF his former
J Alexandria acquaintance.

somebody demonstrated, holding that
the name of the vessel should be
Henry Hudson. because that was IIud-
sons real name. Nevertheless it seems
fitting that the boat be named Hen
drick instead Of Henry. for it was
while in the service of the Dutch East
India company that the English navi-
gator discovered the great river which
bears his name. Moreover. his own
country was SO jealous of his prowess
as Il diScoverer for another nation that
on his return to the old world Hudson
was practically impressed into the
British service aud was not permitted

Hudson prriShcd miserably in the
service of British interests. This was
when he made his disastrous voyage in
search of that long hidden northwest
passage which lured so many mariners
to defeat or doom and which was final
~ discovered by Captain ROald Amund-
sen nearly three centuries after Iiud-
sons death. Hudson sailed into the
vast northern bay which, along with
the gloriously picturesque river, keeps
his name on the map of the world.
There was mutiny aboard. and the
mariners set the great navigator adrift
in a small boat in the icy waters with
his son and few other adherents.
The fate of Hudson and his party is
still mystery of the frozen north.
For the people of the United States
Hudson's chief achievement was the
discovery of the wonderful river at
the mouth of which has grown up the
second city of the world in population
and the first in commercial impor
tance
Hendrick Hudson sailed northward
around Sandy Hook and entered the
river in September. 1909, in the Dutch
ship Half Moon. The explorer spent
month studying the stream, going up
rs far rs the site of the city of Albany.

VERY early i'll his career Stephen
W \. Douglas became known
" throughout the country as the
Little Giant" The so1riquet was
fit one. Physically he was short and
sIight-a little man. Mentally he was
big from his boyhOod. His head was
large and correspOndingly brainy. He
was Il giant in intellect
Douglas was daringly ambitious. His
goal was the presidency of the United
States. AS Schoolboy in Vermont and
western New York the familiar para
doXical fact that ANY American boy
can become president seems TO have
taken possession of him. He settled in
Il new state. Illinois. to grow up with
the country and work himself into lead
erShip. Though he failed of the pres
idency. he was in the whiteSt heat of
the presidential limeIight for years.
Perhaps no man in American history
rose to national eminence so rapidly
as did Douglas. He almost won
nomination for congress ut the age of
twenty-five. Only three years later
he was member of the supreme
court of Illinois, resigning this office
at the age of thirty to enter congress.
In the lower house Douglas became at
once a national figure. Entering the
senate few years later, his fame
widened and deepened with each sue
cceding year Douglas was far more
prominent man in 1852 than was
Franklin Pierce. who defeated him for
the Democratic nomination for pres
ident and was elected. Douglas was
still under forty. -Four years later the
engrossing slavery problem had SO
divided his party that again he failed
to win the nomination. In 1860 he
was nominated by the northern sec
tion of the Democracy.
1t was his espousal of the doctrine
of "squatter sovereignty" which con-
tended that every territory should be
permitted to vote for itself on the
question of slavery, that cost Douglas
the presidency.
Douglas died at the early age Of
forty-ei9ht, few months after the In
auguration of his greatest opponent,
Abraham Lincoln 1t is to his ever
lasting credit that he upheld Lincoln
in the effort TO preserve the republic.
This fact may be taken as the moral
measure Of the man. His last words
to his political adherents were:
There can be no neutrals in this
war"

CONCENTRATED FOOD.
II Would Prove a Poor Diet and Dis
astrous to Humanity

''lt is a notion fondly cherished
by some persons,'' writes IA promi-
ncnt English physician in Il London
medical journal, that the day will
come when the human race will
subsist entirely on highly concen-
tratcd food. The time occupied in
eating the daily meals will be saved
by swallowing IA tablet of concen-
trated essence, and all questions of
fastidiousness for food will be ban
ished, while the dyspepsia arising
from an oyerbulky and hastily swal-
lowed meal will finally disappear.
"The idea is of course utterly
fallacious and plainly opposed to
sound physiological teaching. Such
"A dictctic consummation thus inno-
Gently entertained would probably
end in the extinction of the race by
disease as "A sequence of inantion.

PHOTOGRAPHIC ANIMALS.
Some Dangers the Man Behind the
Camera Encounters.

Today the camera penetrates
everywhere, and sometimes its use
is attended with considerable dan
ger and difficulty. Nowhere is this
more pronounced than when the
camera is brought into use in TAX
ing lifelikc pictures of wild ami
mails in captivity.
How hazardous this may be is
shown by the following incident,
which happened not long ago at "a
big geological garden abroad: y
fine white leopard had been added to
the collection, and as soon as it APP
peared to have settled down the au-
thorities decided to have it photo
graphed. 1t seemed to be fairly
quiet creature-nervous and timid,
to be sure, but without any sign of
temper.
When the keeper entered its cage
it had taken little notice of him be-
yond the usual splitting and Kissing
natural to its kind. The photogra-
pher therefore followed the keeper
into its cage without apprehension
of trouble.
He set up his apparatus, adjusted
it, took several pictures Of the
leopard, and all seemed satisfactory.
As he shut up his camera, however,
the operator CHANGED to shuttle his
feet once or twice on the floor of
the cage.
Like streak of lightning the
leopard, with an ominous snarl,
leaped at him, and before he could
move the animal was gripping his
ankle with his forepaws and fu-
riously biting at his foot. Luckily
the keeper and some assistants sue
ceeded in beating off the beast in
time to save the photographers life,
but it was 4 narrow squeak.
At the same zoo some time after
when an attempt was made to pho
tograph one of the llamas-an ami
NAL generally considered to be a
fairly doclle creature, with nothing
particularly Objectionable about it
beyond its habit of spitting-thc
photographers Subject, revealed
its true nature by suddenly making
a dash for camera and operator, and
before the latter could be rescued
he was the recipient of innumerable
scratches, cuts and bruises which
took some weeks to heal.
1t is an open question whether
seals and sea lions are vicious or
not. They are certainly extremely
curious and anxious to find out
things for themselves. and a pho
tographer who tried 10 take pie
ture of a troupe of performing sea
lions had an experience worth re-
cording.
lie erected his tripod and camera
and was about to make the exposure
when one of the sea lions wrlggled
off his pedestal and made straight
for the caI era. 1t was all done so
quickly th t before the photogra-
phcr realized it the camera was up
set and the sea lion was biting the
mans legs and feet pretty sharply.
The trainer got him away, and no
serious harm was done, but he ex-
planned to the camera man that sea
lions often did little biting just
to find out what an object was made

The fact is that the volume Of food
serves definite purpose in the
body.
"l!ighly concentrated foods are
prone to be very irritating to the
dige ',ivc organs, and they also tend
to exhaust the secretory powers of
the stomach, the digestive juices be-
ing poured out in quantity far in
excess of the requirements of that
food, and thus secretory energy,
which is the key to assimilation, is
uselessly spent.
concentrated meat essences con-
tanning merely the extractives of
meat are, for example, the most
powerful exciters of gastric secre-
ton that We possess, but when par
taken Of exclusively they avail moth
ing in the direction of real nutri-
ton and lead most likely to serious
waste of tissue-in IA word, to star
yauiOn.
"They serve admirably, however,
as a kind of condimcnt or adjuvant
to food, preparing the ground for
its reception and digestlOn; hence
soup is the first item in the physio-
logically well designed meal. When
kept within reasonable limits the
bulkiness Of food cXcitcS a healthy
stimulus to the muscular action Of
the stomach and the bowels, and al
together the indications are plain
that the digestive organs are not
adapted for dealing with highly
concentrated food.
Food must have, So to speak, a
physiological ballast before it is ac-
ceptabe to the digestive processes.
The simplest way of reducing the
bulk of most foods is by depriving
them of their natural moisture.
Eight pounds Of mutton or beef
would thus be reduced to two
pounds of dry substance, but the
water must be replaced to a large
extent before the meat can be cook
ed or eaten.
"Therc are, of course, particular
cases, as, for example, in illness, in
which it is necessary that the diet
chould ha cnorinp in OuantitV and
yet highly nutritious in quality, but
in health the use of concentrated
foods is physiologically absurd, il
not mischievous. The time when
men will take for their meals and
be satisfied with as much concen-
trated food as will cover a three
penny piece can never be so long
as the human mechanism is as it is
and physiological laws are inexora-

Needles were undoubtedly the in
vention of prehistoric man, as they
have been discovered among the old
est remains of human life. Some
rude specimens made of horses
bone and evidently intended for
sewing skins were found not lon
since in IA cave in France, togeth, r
with other traces of primitive life.
Needles have also been discovered
in the oldest Egyptian tombs and
among the remains Of the lake
dwellings of Switzerland. The date
of the invention of steel needles is
unknown; but, Judging from the
rich embroidered garments de-
scribed in ancient record. it would
appear that fine needles of steel
or some other material were in use
at a very early period.

For the most part" say the au-
thors, "the vegetarians appear young
er than their age; notably the ladies
are distinguished by their clear 9nd
fresh complexion"
According to Science very little
difference was discovered between
vegetarians and meat eaters so far as
strength was concerned. In endur,
ance, on the other hand, very re-
markable difference was found, the
vegetarians surprising the meat eat
ers from so to 200 per cent, accord
ing to the method of measurement.
The method of measuring endur-
ance used by the Belgian investiga-
tors was by means of the Mosso
ergograph. One Of the fingers is used
to raise a weight as far as possible.
AS the experiment proceeds and IA
tigue sets in the height to which the
weight can be raised is gradually re-
duced until no further contractions
are possible.
If curve be constructed represent
ing the height of the successive con-
fractions it is called a curve of ia
tigue. and it is found that this curve
is different for different individuals
but is constant for the same indi-
vidual from one day to another, and
even after an interval of several
years, if the conditions of the expert
ment remain the same.
The authors compared the endur-
ance of seventeen vegetarians, six
men and eleven women, with that of
twenty-five meat eaters, students of
the University of Brussels. Compar-
ing the two sets of subjects on the
basis Of mechanical work, it is found
that the vegetarians surpassed the
meat eaters on the average by SO per
cent.
Comparing the two groups on the
basis of the number of contractions-
or, what amounts to the same thing,
the length of time during which the
ergograph could be continuously oper-
ated-it was found that the vegetar-
ians could work on the ergograph two
or three times as long as the meat
eaters before reaching the exhaustion
point.
The Brussels Investigators found
also that the vegetarians recuper-
ated from fatigue far more quickly
than the meat eaters, a result also
found in the Yale experiment.

CRIMINALS MEN OF SCIENCE.
To Outwit Them Detectives Must
Make Use of Modern Methods.

To Outwit Them Detectives Must
Make Use of Modern Methods.
The methods employed by criminals
have improved" They have become
scientific, most scientific. The Grim
inal of today handles chloroform,
opium, morphia, with all the clever
ness of a physician.
Again, the tools used by the mod
ern jailbird are unrivalled master
pieces. One amazing proof of the
scientific knowledge of the modern
criminal and his keenness in keeping
abreast of modern discoveries lies in
the following fact: Recently in Mar
settles the huge safe of bank was
rapidly opened by means of COM
plicaled apparatus which had only
been invented by a prominent en-
gineer ten months previously.
But the detective also avails him
self CT scientific discovery. Former
ly in cases of forgery, for instance, a
drop of water was placed on the
forged words. If the. paper had been
scratched and its size removed the
water was Immediately sucked in; II
the paper had not been scratched the
drop remained for while on the top.
This process was primitive and
spoiled the document.
Nowadays the suspicious paper is
photographed and on the proof the
marks of scratching are easily detect
ed by clear differences in the color.
Photography is used also in the case
of forgeries made by means Of chemi-
Gals.
When a heap of burned documents
is found in the fireplace thin sheets
of glass are inserted between the
burned papers. AS soon as one sheet
is on the glass it is rendered less
brittle by means of special liquid
and it is unfolded and photographed.
The process is repeated with every
sheet, and after a few hours all the
documents are easily read.
A process formerly used for tho
classification of blood stains consisted
in examining them under the micro
SCOPE and from the appearance of the
red globules the investigators would
draw their conclusions as to the ma
ture Of the blood. Unfortunately this
examination gave no result when the
blood stains were not recent.
Today more scientific method is
used. The stain is washed; few
drops of the water used are poured
into a tube containing some specific
serum from a rabbit inoculated with
human blood. When the addition OF
water produces in the serum a fine
deposit and gives a misty appearance
to the liquid one can be perfectly
certain that the blood stains were hui
