WONDERS OF VELOCITY.
A Piece Of Thin Cardboard Will Cut
Through Wood.

through wood
Velocity has n great deal to do
with one substances ability to break
through another, and 1t is remarkable
what can be accomplished by a COM
paratiyely soft substance against a
much harder one when the former is
given enough velocity. A bullet made
Of a tallow candle would smash fiat If
fred against a board from a toy gun,
but when shot from an army rifle it
will go right through the board. A
stream of water has been known to
have such swiftness of movement chat
sword was broken in two when a
strong man tried to cut 1t through.
Cyclones have been known to drive
such frail projectiles as straws well
into a tree.
An interesting experiment showing
what a soft substance can do may be
performed by attaching a bristol
board disk to the motor of an electric
fan and setting it to revolving at the
fans usual rate. If piece of wood,
such as a lead pencil, for example, be
carefully applied TO the edge of the
revolving disk, the wood will very
readily be cut through. OF course IL
the disk were to revolve slowly the
wood would soon blunt it's edge.-Path-
finder.

Who were the mound builders Of
North America? The Rev Dr. Bryce
of Winnipeg has examined large
number of these interesting strucr

were built by the Toltecs and mark
the course Of the Toltec immigration
from the south along the Mississippi
and Ohio to the great lakes and the
st. Lawrence, along the Missouri and
along the Mississippi proper to the
Rainy and Red rivers. This would

Not What They Usod to e. IN The
Days Of Elizabeth
Most men nowadays do not get
much pleasure from dress and scarce
" notice the changes Of fashion in
mons clothes They are vaguely
aware that hat looks odd when its
shape is old fashioned, and they ac-
cept the hat Of the moment because
they do not wish to look odd them
selves. But this is a merely negative
Interest They are also apt to be con-
temptuous of womens greater inter
est In the fashions, as If it were a
mark Of frivollty.
This is an ignorant mistake. Dress
is or ought to be an art, and therefore,
If only minor art it is more seri-
Gus matter than any Of the games to
which many men give so much time
and pains. Besides, men have only be-
come Indifferent to their clothes in
modern times.
In the heroic age of Elizabeth they
made themselves as smart as pea
cocks. Great soldiers and poets then
took pains to be in the height Of the
fashion, and fashions changed with
some violence and rapidly In the
eighteenth century, too, which we do
not think of as time Of effeminacy
and when men were wanting neither
in enterprise nor in seriousness, they
were as splendid and extravagant in
their dress as women.--London Times.

WARNING TO TAFT.
Is Issued by Bailey Of Texas in the
Senate.

Washington, April 10.-Asserting
that he had heard it reported that
President Taft will veto the pending
census bill if it did not provide for
placing the appointments of census
employees under the civil service COM
mission. Senator Bailey in a speech
on the bill today declared that if the
president had thus early in his admin
istration undertaken to coerce con-
gress he would find that the exper-
fence of the last seven years was a
holiday with what the next four years
would be.
Senator Lodge made a spirited reply
to the Texas senator.
Among other things Mr.. Bailey
said:
"I am one of the men who sincerely
hope the president of the United
States will distinguish himself In his
great office. hope his administration
will be an unmixed blessing to all the
people but 1 do not hesitate to say
that no man ever had less desira BILE
preparation for it than the present oc-
cupant of that high office. He went
from the bench, where the tendency is
toward a certain kind of tyranny.
There is scarcely a federal judge in
the United States of 20 years service
who has not become arbitrary, irrf-
table and sometimes tyrannical. I dc
not mean that his experience would
corrupt him in the sense of making
him venal, but it tends to corrupt him
| in the sense that it teaches him to
oppose his will against all obstacles"

Clark thereupon made a motion to
recommit with instructions, which
were read.
Mr.. Clark's motion directed the
ways and means committee to make
the original minimum rates of the bill
apply as maximum rates and to pro-

those applied as the minimum rates.

Motion to Recommit Is Lost.
1t instructed the committee to provide
for graded income tax and to add a
paragraph giving the president the
right to place any article on the free
list, by proclamation, if he is satisfied
that the value on that article has been
enhanced In consequence of any mon
opoly or trust. The motion also direct

reducing the duties carried by the bill
to revenue rates, so as to raise the
maximum of revenue with minimum

provided for the granting of American

citizens for the ocean carrying trade

Almost complete silence prevailed
while the instructions were being read

the previous question and on that the
roll was called.
The previous question was ordered

Clark motion to recommit it was lost

Sampson by marriage, prosecuted the
case vigorously and said he was sat-
isf1ed. The testimony of the defense
was brief. confined chiefly to rebutting
the testimony of a gun expert, that the
hole made in SIMPSONS outer shirt
was made by bullet fired from a dis
lance, and that Harry Sampson could
not have committed suicide.

Rich completed his charge to the jury,
