o Bones Grow.

Bone, in it's earliest stages called
temporary cartilage, has fbrous It's
sue as its primary foundation. The
chief uses of bones are to protect
delicate organs and to form a frame
work for the body, by which, in COM
bination with the muscles, the body
is moved.
AS growth advances stronger me-
chanical support becomes necessary,
and, as scaffolding is gradually re-
moved in the course of building, so
each part of the soft cartilage is
cleared away piece by peice, at first
by the absorption of it's central part
and then by the deposit of a few par
ticles of bony matter to take it's
place.
The arteries next enlarge and de-
posit granules of calcareous phos-
plate, which are laid down, particle
by particle, in regular lines, SO as
to form continuous fbres, which
cross, connect and unite from differ
ent centres and by definite laws.
Each distinct bone is thus formed
from ossific or bone-forming CEN
tres, which unite by a natural
affinity. DR.. Roget has compared
this process to the method by which
a sculptor models first in plastic ma
terial the form to be expressed in
marble.

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
Admits She Buried Baby,

Sophie Collins was arrested as she
left Holy Trinity Catholic Church,
H~ackensack, after second mass, and
in the police station she confessed she
was the woman who buried alive the
girl baby which was found in a bunk
er on the grounds of the Hackensack
Golf Club. She said she believed the
child had died in her arms. The ar
rest was made by a county detective,
William Blauvelt, on information OBJ
tanned by Patrolman William Brod-
erick. The baby, which was still liv-
ing when found hours after it had
been buried, but died afterward, was
born six weeks ago. The mother said
the birth took place in Jersey City,
and the child had been boarded there
since. She went there in the even
ing, she said, and took the child
away. She said she did not know
whether a drug had been used to
quiet the child. The child became in
ert and quiet on the train, and, be-
lieving it dead, the mother said, she
got off the train and, frantic with de-
spair and unable to do anything else,
carried the baby to the golf links and
buried it.

Land around there is worth from
$500 to $500 an acre. So it can be
figured that Mr.. Bryan is comfortably

might call him a rich man. What he
has, he has made from his lectures
and his books and from The Com

Before the organs had as much as
they have now, they lived in a little

Living Silver.

} The chief source of mercury is it's
native s%ulphide, cinnabar. The most
important mines of this mineral in
Europe are those of Almaden, in
Spain, and Idria, in Illyria; in Ameri-
ca, those of New Almaden, in Cali
fornia.
The silvery metal is obtained by
roasting the ores in specially con-
structed open furnaces, where, by
the action of atmospheric air alone,
the sulphur is converted into sui
phurous acid and passes on with the
volatilized mercury into condensers.
These are usually masonry cham
bers, with water cooled pipes, from
which the fumes pass on through
earthenware pipes and finally through
others of wood aid glass.
Most of the yield is liquid mer-
curry, combined with SCOT, which is
removed by agitating the mixture in
receptacles of perforated iron, when
the mercury falls through. The
quicksilver is finally purified by
straining through dense linen and
is then sent out into commerce in
leather bags or wrought iron bottles
fitted with screw plugs, each holding
about seventy-five pounds av%oirdupois.

stitution in 1884, and from the Union
College of Law at Chicago, in 1885,.
In October, 1884, Mr.. Bryan was
married to Miss Mary E. Baird, of
Perry, III. He practiced law at Jack
sonville, Ill, from 1888 to 1887, since
which time he has practiced his pro-
fession at Lincoln, Neb., where he
has made his home.
He was a memberof Congress from
the Lincoln (Neb.) district from 1891
to 1895. In 1893 MI. Bryan received
the Democratic vote for the United
States Senatorship, and in 1894 he
was nominated in the Nebraska State
Democratic Convention for U. S. SEN
ator, but was defeated by the Hon.
John M. Thurston.
During 1894 to 1895 Mr.. Bryan
was editor of the Omaha World-Her-
aid.
In 1896 he was a delegate to the
National Democratic Convention at
Chicago; he wrote the "silver plank"
in the platform, and after making a
notable and stirring speech he was
nominated for the Presidency. Dur
ing the campaign he travelled over
$4,000 miles, and made speeches at
almost every stopping place; he re-
ceived 176 electoral votes against
271 for the late William Mckinley.
In 1878 he lectured on bimetal-
ism, and in May, 1898, he raised and
organized the Third Regiment Ne
braska Volunteers, infantry, for SER
vice in the Spanish-American War,
and became colonel of the regiment.

of the Populist and Silver Republi-
can conventions. Mr.. Bryan made
another active canvass, but was again
defeated, this time receiving in the
electoral college 155 votes as against
293 for Mr.. Mckinley.

feat Mr.. Bryan established The Com
moner, a weekly political journal, in

From this journal, lectures and
books, "The First Battle and "Un-
der Other Flags" and from his nu-
merous special articles written for
other magazines and newspapers. Mr..
Bryan has amassed a comfortable
competency.
Within the past two years Mr..
Bryan has made a tour of the world.

SKETCH OF THE CAREER OF
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
MB8aaEagNM ak MaahhlIRg'

Without holding any official posi-
ton to lift him to public view, it is
nevertheless a curious fact that the
personality of William Jennings
Bryan has prominently impressed it
self on the country. To be great is
easy for the man who succeeds. But
here is the mar who failed, and has
grown great and more great. Only
a ruler or a general has received
more public attention than he. Princes
and potentates have entertained him.
Yet he is only an American private
citizen.
William Jennings Bryan is a ma
tive of Illinois, having been born in
that State on March 10, 1850. He
received his early education in the
public schools and Whipple Academy.
Was graduated in 1881 at the Illinois
College, Jacksonville, and was the
valedictorian of his class; received
the degree of A. NJ. from the same in
The Penn's Grove record., 1908-07-10

and has had distinguished considera-
ton shown him in Japan, China, Rus
STA, Continental Europe and England.
At the request of King Edward he
had an audience with that famous
British ruler. The Lord Chancellor
Of England praised him before the
1nter-parliamentary Conference; that
distinguished assemblage cheered his
speech and adopted his international
peace resolution.
Mr.. Bryan lives in a substantial
red-brick house four miles out of Lin
coin, at a little settlement called Nor
NAL. The trolley will take you there,

The Oldest jury.

The oldest Greek poet has left us a
picture of what the jury was in his
time. The primitive court is sitting
and the question is Guilty" or "Not
guilty" The old men of the COM

the adjudicating democracy, the COM

the opinions which strike them most,
and the applause determines the de-
cision. Such was probably the earli-

Angry Bull Wrecks Auto.

Henry Mullen, a farmer, neat
Montville, was leading his gray bull
Mollycoddle home from pasture when
Raymond Larkin, with his friends,
James Graham and William War
wick, of Newark, came along In an
automobile. The machine is red.
Mollycoddle noticed this and began
to below. Mullen dug his heels into
the ground and took a t%wo-handed
hold on the halter. Mr.. Larkin's
chauffeur gave a merry honk with his
horn and kept on with undiminished
speed. Mollycoddle beloved louder
and threw clods high in the air with
his hoofs. AS the machine drew near
the bull broke away from the farmer
and charged the red vehicle. Both
went up in the air together. Then
the automobile reeled over into a
ditch, it's occupants landing with no
worse injuries than bruises. Molly
coddle trotted homeward with a piece
of the machines hood on one of his
horns.

Hunting Coyotes in Manitoba.

Hunting for young coyotes is all
the rage here now. The method of
securing them is to take a collie dog
and go to the haunts of the COYOTE
here, generally in thick scrubby nm.

sees the collie she runs to the den
where the young are and the collie
follows and barks at the den. Then
the hunters dig out the young.
Alexander Aimo and his son dug
out fourteen from two dens one dav
last week. Another mar got tbirtv-
five, and this man has brought in in
all ninety-four.
There is a bounty of 81 on each
