DRAWN UP INTO THE SKY
The Only Explanation for the Disap-
Pearance of the Water from
the Dead Sea.

There can be only two modes by
which the waters flowing into the
Dead sea can escape from it-either
by underground percolation or by
evaporation. 1t is extremely improb.
able that any considerable quantity
escapes by the former mode, and we
are further led to suppose, for two
good reasons, that evaporation ac-
counts for maintaining the steady level
OF that sea. First, the sea remains
intensely salt. The Dead sea contains
about five times as much solids in So
luton as does the ocean. This in.
tense saltness could not be maintained
with comparatively fresh river water
pouring into it for thousands of years.
unless the water in escaping, left be-
hind the saline substances Evapora.
ton is the only process that would &C.
count for this. Secondly, the heat in
The Dead sea valley is overpowering.
The temperature in the Jordan valley
has been known to rise in August to
11S degrees, even opposite Jericho,
and it would be even higher in the
Dead sea gorge. George Adams
Smith, in his Historical Geography of
the Holy Land (p.500), says: "The
extracted moisture usually forms a
haze impenetrable to the eye for more
than a few miles, but sometimes vast
clouds of mist rear themselves from
the sea-"

ton, an honor never before conceded
to any one, and was elected over a
strong Democratic candidate, running
as independent, with the largest ma
jority on the ticket. Although the
youngest member of the senate in
1908 and 1905, he succeeded in secur-
ing the passage of several important
acts, chief among which are the high
way commission act, the law prohibit
ing the giving or receiving of rebates,
and several amendments to the rail
way and warehouse commission act,
granting to the commission absolute
control over railway rates, classifica-
tions, determinations against locali-
ties and individuals; also, authority
to examine books and records of rail-
way companies and prosecute pro-
ceedings before the Interstate Com
| merce Commission.
His record in the state senate
brought him prominently befroe the
people, and in 1906 he was chosen
as the party's candidate for lieutenant
governor, the convention nominating
him with a large majority on the first
ballot At the election he received
majority of about $4,000 votes, al
though the late Governor Johnson was
elected with a Democratic majority
of about $4,000 votes. He was re-
elected in 1908 by a majority of 55,-
S74 and became governor of Mime
sofa September 20, 1909, by the death
Of Governor John A. Johnson. The
new executive took the oath of office
September 81, 1909, and although he
assumed the office as the result of
the death of one who was one of the
most popular, if not the most popular
governor, in the states history, the
record made by Governor Eberhart
is worthy of his predecessor. The
policies Of the late governor with re.
CARDS to advancement of the interests
of the state are being carried out
| under the new rule, and the only
difference noticeable is that less poll
tics are found among the Office as
sistants in the executives office than
formerly.

SIXTH PROPOSED AMEND
MENT.

The sixth proposed amendment IL

PURPOSE. By this amendment It II
proposed to add an entirely new Sec
ton to Article TX of the Constitution
to be known as Section 17a, and which
shall read as follows:
"Section Tia. Laws may be enacted
exempting lands from taxation for ths
purpose of encouraging and promoting
the planting. cultivation and protec-
ton of useful forest trees thereon"
EFFECT. The effect of this amend-
ment is to authorize the legislature to
enact laws exemptfnE from taxation
lands of private persons to be used In
the planting, cultivation and protection
of useful forest trees thereon, and thus
supplement where the lands of such
private persons are devoted to refor-
estration, the purposes contemplated as
to public lands by the fifth proposed
amendment. The authority so granted
is part of general plan for the refor-
the legislature does not pass such laws.
such lands will not be exempt and the
power to repeal such a law, when en-
acted, remains with the leSislature.
Power to pass n law to exempt such
lands from taxation the lexislaturc
does not now possess, and it Is. there.
fore, an additional grant of power.

he was left in Europe when the
parents emigrated to the United
States. One year later he determined
to join his father and mother, though
this friends would not permit the
journey. Alone the boy made the

His record in the academy and col.

tire curriculum, being in all seventy
nine subjects. and was graduated as
,valedictorian of his class in the spring
of 1895. with an average standing in
all subjects of over 94 per cent.
During his college career. he en-
tered several debating contests and
was never defeated. All vacations
and spare minutes were utilized for
earning money and, with the aid of
some borrowed funds. he succeeded
in managing the financial side.
After finishing his studies at col
1ege. he entered the law office OF
Judge Lorin Cray. at Mankato, and
was admitted to the bar three years
later. He then began the practice
of law in that city.
In 1902 he was nominated by the
Republican party as state senator

and expressed pity for any one that
had to dig a living out of such soil.
