Tait's popular plurality over Bryan
will approximate 200, 444 votes, which
is SO percent greater than McKinley's
over Bryan In 1900, making this the
severest Of Bryan's three defeats.
Roosevelt's plurality over Parker, how.
ever, reached two and a half millions,
or slightly double the popular plur.
ality this time. The difference came
in the West. Only three states gave
Taft greater plurality than they did
Roosevelt four years ago, and these
were Connecticut, Massachusetts, and
New York. Throughout the West a
considerable return to normal party
divisions are manifest. Kansas, for
example, gives Taft $1,000 plurality,
where 1t gave Roosevelt l36, 900 Iowa
gives him $4,000 plurality, while it
gave Roosevelt one three times as
great. Nevertheless, Taft's lead, both

possess little academic interest for
somebody, but that is about all. A
few representatives will come TO
Washington bound to vote against
him by the known sentiment In their

of them will take him privately by

voiced their opposition to the speaker

The Fowler candidacy is taken by some

A government expert has devised a
novel method Ct keeping a car or CON-
partment comparatively warm In zero
weather; not by FIRE. but by the utili-
zation OF ice. says the National Provi-
sioner. A well Insulated car is fitted
each end with four galvanized iron CYL
inders reaching from the floor TO the
top OF the car. IN summer these cylln-
ders are fiiled with ice and salt to
keep the car cool. In winter they are
filed with Ice to keep the contents of
the car from freezing.
Ice Is nominally at a temperature Of
80 degrees Fahrenheit and is sub
stance that changes temperature reluct-
antiy. being a poor conductor OF heat
or cold. Consequently when zero
weather prevails outside the cylinders
Of relatively warm Ice prevent the es-
cape Of heat. In other words they main
tain the temperature within the car.
Another method whereby ice Is en-
ployed for protection against cold con-
sIsts in throwing a plentiful stream OF
water on the car when the temperature
Is near zero point. which freezes at
once and forms a complete coat over
the car. The action OF this Ice Is the
same as In the case OF the cylinders
filed with Ice. A similar plan is fire.
