Freeze Thirty Years Ago

An exchange says that on the
eleventh of May 1878, a terrible ice
storm struck Iowa. 1t extended from
Sioux City to Keokuk and was about
fifty miles wide. The trees and all
vegetation were ruined. The grapes
we're about as large as duck shot but
were killed by the ice storm. The
winter before had been muddy so that
all telegraph wires were down and
there being no telephones at that time
the people had no communication
whatever with each other for several
days"
We remember the mud but not the
freeze. We also remember distinctly
that on July II, of that year a hot
wind cooked all the wheat in northern
Iowa and Southern Minnesota.

SEEK GOLDEN OK"
TWO CITIES IN CONTENTION OVER
ARTICLE WORTH 5000.
Berlin Has II, But 5reslsu Declares It
Should Be Returned, as It Was
Sold Far Below it's Real
Value.

Berlin.--A struggle IS being waged
BY Berlin and Breslau over the pos
session Of the Golden OK" Berlin
has that art trophy safely under lock
and key In the strong room of bank.
Breslau claims It's return and Berlin
says mol"
It all came about in this way: The
grand master Of the guild of meat
dealers in Breslau sold the Golden
OK" to an antiquary named Drey. It
is a small work In silver gilt rep
resenting an OK rearing on its hind
legs. but is artistic beauty is quite
remarkable.
The antiquary gave $4,000 for the
piece, and, through the agency Of a
Berlin dealer, sold IT to Herr Gutt-
mann. director OF the Dresdener Bank
OF Berlin.
When the king Of England heard OF
the sale he made known his desire
to become the possessor Of the Gold
an Ok" which is now valued at $4,000
The king was prepared to pay that
price.
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1908-06-24

Then the city Of Breslau, regretting
that II had parted with the OK below
its price, demanded its return from
Herr Drey. The city fathers claim that
without their permission no one had
the right to sell the Golden Op."
Should Herr Guttmann refuse to re-
turn the object, Herr Drey is to be
prosecuted and called upon to pay to
the guild the real value Of the work Of
art-Ss.OOO. Herr Guttmann, on his
part, stoutly refused to give it up.
The first legal steps have already
been taken, and It remains to be seen
whether the upper court agrees to try
the case.
Herr Drey certainly bought the
Golden Ok" from the head Of the
guild and made payment in cash
Herr Guttmann also acquired the OK in
a perfectly legal way, and. as a con
nolsseur very appreciative Of his
treasure. he wishes to keep It.
This intention he has categorically
communicated to the Breslau magis-
trate. It is therefore fairly certain
that the Golden Ok" win remain in
Berlin and not pass into King Ed
wards possession.

Ing the fiscal year which will end on
June 30 of this year, DR., Wiley finds
himself in charge of a corps of $50
persons, 200 Of them chemists, and the
budget Of the bureau win total
100000
To-day the government also main
tains SO experiment stations which are
now in operation in every state and
territory, including Alaska Hawaii,
Porto Rico and the Philippines.
Mere growth in expenditures would
not necessarily argue increase OF use
fulness, but in the case Of the depart
ment Of agriculture its benefits to the
farming interests and to the country
at large have been immeasurably en-
haneed during the last 25 years. To
these increased benefits the bureau Of
chemistry, Of which Dr. Wiley is chief.
has made large contributions. BY the
analysis Of soils and the investigation
of the effect of environment on the
chemical composition Of plants the
bureau Of chemistry was able to define
the limits Of sugar beet growing terri
tory IN the United States and open the
way for the establishment Of the beet
sugar industry, which promises great
results in the near future.
In 1880 there were only four beet
sugar factories In the United States,
with an invested capital Of 1865, 900
and an annual product valued at
s2S2,572. In 1905 the factories mum.
bered 81, the capital invested was $685.
923,459, and the value of products was
24,S9S,7s4. From 1900 to 1906 the
number Of beet sugar factories in.
creased 20 per cent; the capital in.
vested In the business increased III
per cent, and the value Of the yearly
output increased 233 per cent.
Another service of inestimable value
rendered to the country by the ma
tional bureau Of chemistry is IN start
ing and promoting the pure food and
drug movement. II Or. Wiley is not
the father Of that movement. he has
been the head and front Of It from the
beginning. When be began work on
that line, upward Of 20 years ago, not
state In the union had pure food
law; now most of them have laws on
the subject and commissions to en-.
force them. DR.. Wiley was the pioneer
Of the movement in America and he
made chemistry a most effective in.
strument in promoting II. It was
mainly through his efforts that the
analysis Of foods, drugs. spices. edibles
and beverages showed adulteration to
be an almost universal practice, and
started a movement that has resulted
IN widespread reform. He is the father
Of the national pure food law which
took effect January i. 1907, aud chair
man Of the national commission foi
constituting and enforcing It.

governor. Ever since the fight started
he mas been spending his time in his
apartments receiving reports, writing
cards and consulting with friends. He
would be no match on the stump for
Hoke Smith, whose powers Of endur-
ance are the marvel OF Georgia All
the attacks made upon Brown, all the
shouts for him to come forth and give
the public view, have failed to
bring him into sight, have failed to
cause him outward irritation.
Joe Brown is man Of about 55. He
was born in Canton, Ca, was given a
fair education In grammar schools
and was then sent to the University
of Georgia, and afterward took a legal
course at Harvard His education
completed, he came home and went
to work, at times aiding his father in
bis political fights.
He began his railroad work in 1877,
when he was hired as a clerk in the
freight department of the Western &
Atlantic road. He became general
freight agent in 1881, general freight
and passenger agent in 1884 and traf-
fic manager in 1889. In the succeed
ing years he filled various railroad po-
sItions OF responsibility.
Mr.. Brown was appointed railroad
commissioner and was ousted by Gov.
Smith as the result Of an alleged
threatening note.

WILEYSGREATN0RB
.HooslER SCIENTIST WHO HEADS
BUREAU OF CHEMISTRY.
Has Done More Than Any other One
Man to Place American Agrlcul-
ture on Scientific 5asis-Fa-
ther Of Pure Food Laws.

Washington-No branch Of applied
science has made greater progress
during the last % years than agricul-
tural chemistry and Dr.. Harvey w.
Wiley, present chief of the bureau of
Chemistry in the department Of agri-
culture unquestionably has accom-
plished more than any other living
man in the work Of placing American
agriculture on a more scientific basis,
thereby adding enormously to the pro-
ductiveness and wealth of the country.
Scientific agriculture, or as it may
otherwise be termed, agricultural
chemistry, is a science Of comparative
ly recent origin, and the Indiana man
has been the leading spirit in it for
nearly a generation.
Prof. Wiley's interest in scientific
agriculture began with his connection
with Purdue university as professor of
chemistry, in 1874, a year after his
graduation at Harvard, when he was
also appointed state chemist of In
diana He remained at Purdue nine
years
DR.. Wiley's connection with the gov
eminent work began In 1883 when he
was offered the position of chief Of
the bureau Of chemistry Of the depart
ment of agriculture. The offer was ac-
cepted, and from that time the devel-
opment Of that bureau and its activi-
ties became DR.. Wileys life-work. To
day he is recognized as one of the
worlds great chemists, with a mem
bership In many foreign and American
scientific societies.
Arriving in Washington to take up
the duties Of his new post, DR.. Wiley
found his quarters confined to a lab
oratory in the basement of the anti
quated agricultural department build
ing and a little Office upstairs His
full working force consisted OF four
assistant chemists and dishwasher.
The first years appropriation for the
work Of the bureau was $4,000. Dur

and filling up small gaps he could
have cut in many more letters.
The pin, looked at with the naked
eye, seems merely to have a slightly
roughened head The letters can be
read only with 4 magnifying glass. The
work was done at odd times during a
regular weeks work. It would be sup
posed that such a feat required spe-
cially prepared tools Of a very fine and
expensive make. On the contrary, it
was done with common wood en-
graver's tool, known as NO ! ellipti-
cal picture tint" and costing ten cents,
and an ordinary finder magnifying
glass. such as is used IN examining
linen cloth, and which costs rs cents.
Mr. Stuart does not consider the
Lords Prayer engraving a remarkable
feat as he once succeeded in putting
264 letters on bank pin, which is
smaller than the ordinary.
Several years ago It was quite a fad
to wear as watch charms gold dollars
on which we're engraved the Lords
Prayer. This was considered remark
ably fine work at the time, but the pin
used by Mr.. Stuart measured only one
sixteenth Of an inch Ia diameter. The
photograph Of the pin head presented
here has been enlarged about 7s4
times.

an operation that consumed an hour.
Then, when she was induced to lie
down upon the plate holder and the
Crookes tube held over the first sec
tion Of her body, she became fright
ened at the glare in the tube and had
to be coaxed again for nearly half an
hour. AT last the elephant was con.
vinced that the men we're not trying
to injure her and she lay compare
lively still until several exposures
were made.
Then an accident happened and the
elephant was given a shock from one
OF the wires running to the tube. She
gave an ear-pieroing trumpet and
leaped to her feet. Only the quickest
movements on the part Of the oper
ators saved the expensive machinery
from wreckage. The crowd, which
numbered several thousand, stamped
ed and ran through the park In all di
rections. The cry given by Lou
alarmed the other three elephants, and
the trainers had all they could do
for several minutes quieting the mad
dened beasts After their confidence
was restored It was decided to walt
until after the vaudeville show before
attempting to make any more plates.
Lou, the elephant, was trembling with
fear. She was quieted by a liberal al
lowance Of hay, and then about three
pounds OF powdered sugar was fed to
her
Trainer Powers feared that she
would be too nervous 10 60 on with
her part of the act, but IN this he was
happily disappointed. Away from the
scene Of her troubles the elephant was
as docile as a kitten, and she went
through her stunts on the vaudeville
stage perfectly.
After the show the operation was
resumed. Lou was blindfolded this
time and gave no trouble whatever.
She lay down and arose at command
whenever It was necessary to change
the plates. Mr.. Kelley and the rest
Of the operators we're delighted. It is
the first time in the history Of the sci
ence that X-ray pictures Of an ele-
phant have ever been made, and the
operators expect to gain much knowl
edge and some fame by reporting the
results Of the experiment for the sci
entihc journals. Besides the X-ray
men and physicians who we're active
ly engaged in the operation there was
a good-sized clinic Of other physicians
and X-ray operators who had been IN
yited to witness the experiment

paratus ever made was used, and the
manufacturer himself superintended
the operation. The elephant was
handled by Trainer w. w. Powers and
his three assistants.
Lou, the smallest Of the four ele-
plants now performing at Chester,
swallowed the ring while Mr Martin
was feeding her peanuts. Besides the
intrinsic value OF the ring, there is a
sentimental value attached to the
jewel which no money could balance.
Therefore Manager Martin, In order
TO secure the return Of the ring, re.
fused to settle with Trainer Powers
for the first weeks salary unless the
ring was produced.
Mr.. Powers, feeling that an unjust
suspicion was attaching to him and
his men because the ring was not pro
duced after several days. determined
to assure Manager Martin that the
ring was still held by the thieving
elephant. Therefore he went to the
expense Of having the series Of X-ray
photographs made in the hope that
one Of the plates would show the
jewel somewhere in the inside Of the
animal.
