Light holds the record for high speea
among all moving things that have
been measured. 1t travels at the rate
OF 32S02s,s yards a second. This is
faster than thinking, even by the most
quick wltted person. Let any reader
try to think the simplest thought and
then with the aid Of stop watch
note how long 1t has taken him to
think It. He will then be able TO un-
derstond how slow his mental opera
tions are compared to the speed Of
light.

IN HIGH ATTITUDES.
The Most Common Ways In Which the
Heart is Affected.


DR.. !. n. Hall, writing In the Ameri-
can Journal of the Medical Sciences,
says that the dangers to the heart In
high attitudes are the same as In other
places, but are greatly exaggerated In
some directions The troubles most
common and serious. lie says, relate to
Inflammation of the heart muscle,
hardening OF the arteries and dilation
Of the heart
The principle applied Is this: The
heart and lungs have an increase of
functional work with each added de.
gree of elevation and the consequent
decrease In atmospheric pressure. To
meet the increased demand on the cir
culation the heart must enlarge II the
usual amount of exercise Is taken. 1t
Is not unusual for acute diation of the
heart to occur after slight effort on
the part OF those whose arteries have
begun to harden and who long have
been accustomed to atmospheric pres.
sure at the sea level. The trouble with
those who suffer in high altitude, the
writer declares, is that they try to do
too much at first when they feel In
vigornted by the bracing atmosphere.
DIR. Hall adds that even an ascent in
railway train may be fatal to those
who have but narrow margin of
heart strength, or the slightest exer-
tion at such time may produce an
gina pectoris. The average case Of
well compensated valvular disease will
do as We'll at high altitude as any.
where else II the patient observes
proper precautions. In such climate
he Is less susceptible to acute rheuG,a-
tism.

sAYLER PACKET OPENED
Documents With One Exception Do
Not Bear on Tragedy - Property
Willed to Wife But Will is Not Wit
messed and is Therefore Illegal.

Watseka, ILL.,, July ia part of the
contents of the sealed packet left by
j. B. Sayler the murdered banker,
have been made public by person who
saw what 1t contained. 1t appears the
only thing in the packet which bears
directly on the tragedy is an inter-
cepted letter from DIR. Miller to Mrs.
Sayler 1t is said that the letter was
written In endearing terms and con-
WINGED Sayler his wife was intimate
with Miller Sayler's will, about which
there has been much speculation, is
also in the packet. The will was drawn
some time ago and left a substantial
sum to Mrs. Sayler, her daughter, and
to Mrs. John Grunden, his mother-in
law, now dead. However, this will
can not be probated as it is only signed
by one person. The laws of Illinois re-
quire it to be witnessed by two persons.
The most sensational evidence yet
found is shirt waist belonging ii Mrs.
Sayler, found in her bed room and said
to have been concealed under the car
pet The shirt waist contained marks
from a bloody watchchain and the
prosecution claims Mrs. Sayler sat on
her husbands chest during his dying
moments. AS soon as she saw the
blood she hid the waist

MINERALS FAST DISAPPEARING.
Other Natural Resources Are RapidI,
Being Exhausted.

Washington, July ia bulletin just
issued by the geological survey gives
some startling information on the ex-
haustion of natural resources. The
most serious situation is that with re-
gard to petroleum.
Petroleum has been used for less than
fifty years. and it is estimated that the
supply will last only about twenty five
or thirty years longer. If production is
curtailed and waste stopped 1t may last
till the end of the century. Animal and
vegetable oils will not begin to supply
its lace.
One billion cubic feet of natural gas
are estimated to be wasted into the air
every twenty-four hours. The gas sup
ply will last about twenty-five years.
Coal has been extensively mined in
the United States for not much more
than half a century, but the consump-
ton is increasing so enormously that
if this increase should continue all the
easily accessible coal would be ex-
hausted by the year 2040 and all coal
by the middle of the twenty first CEN
tury. Water power will undoubtedly
largely take its place.
1t is estimated that within thirty
years the best iron ores will have been
exhausted.
Gold, silver and zinc are all so
abundant that the supply is likely to
last for centuries to come Copper is
also abundant but is largely in low
grade ores which can not now be pro-
fitably worked.
The phospnates, it is estimated, will
be exhausted in about twenty five
years.

cided victory in the Philippine free
trade provision. The subcommittee
which has been considering this sec
tion has decided to permit the free ad-
mission of 150,000000 cigars annually,
as requested by the president, instead
Of 70,000,0o0 as would be admitted un-
der the senate amendment, adopted at
the instance of Senator La Toilette. 1t
is expected that the Philippine section,
as approved by the subcommittee, will
be adopted by the conferees on Mon
day. 1t provides for the free admis-
sion of 100000 pounds of wrapper to-
bacco and 100000 pounds of filler to-
bacco and 100000 tons Of sugar.
With the exception of rice and the
limitation placed upon tobacco and
sugar all articles of the growth. pro-
duct or manufacture of the Philippine
islands,. will be admitted free The in
clusion of the words cor manufacture"
is the subject of criticism in many
quarters Many members of congress
think they would make it possible to
ship raw materials into the Philippine
islands or to manufacture with cheap
labor and then bring them to the I'm
tied States free of duty. AS originally
adopted by the house and later intro
duced in the senate the Philippine sec
ton contained a provision requiring
that manufactured articles, in order to
obtain the benefit of the free admis-
sion into the United States, should not
contain ingredients other than products
of the islands.
