which affect sheep. 1t Is a contagious
skin disease caused by a parasitic mite.

which cause It live on the external sur

treatment consists in using some ex-

and satisfactory and the cheapest
method Of curing scab Is by dipping
the sheep In some liquid which will
kill the parasites.

The Gold Making
 Process Is Solved

The fumes from an alchemist's furnace, heated to a temperature of four thousand degrees, in the world-old quest for the secret of turning base metals into gold and silver, brought death to C. C. Dickinson, New York bank CT, according to the remarkable statement made by Dr. F. w. Lange, the Scranton physician, in whose laboratory the acci- dent occurred. Dr. Lange claims the discovery of the long-sought process, and said he had inter ested MT. Dickinson i'll his pro- posals for taking up the work on large scale.
 "My discovery is one which upsets all scientific theories" said Dr. Lange. II have discov- cred the means of increasing an atom of pure silver, by the addi- ton of base metals, to d hum dred times it's size aud weight, with the result that 1t becomes pure silver of equal, if not great CT, fneness: For four years I have carried the secret. I did not dare to believe it myself. Night and day for years, l dem- onstrated it over and over again in my laboratory. 1 have taken base metals of four different kinds and successfully trans muted them into silver of the utmost purity, and the product has passed successfully the sharp est scrutiny of the best assayers in the country. Ihave sent spec1- mems of my transmitted metals to the United States mint, and d report came back that the sub stance was absolutely pure. My explanation of the process IS on the theory of evolution. be- lieve evolution pertains to the inorganic as we'll as organic things of the earth"
 Prof. Lang said Mir. Dickinson, while watching a successful ex- pertinent. inhaled the fumes, and later developed into pneumonia. from which he died.

THE RAILROAD RATE BILL PASSES THE

The Action Taken Was Due to Radical Changes Made
 in the Original Bill.

The United States senate pass cd the dministra tion railroac bill on Saturday. June 4, at 9 55 o'clock. It had been under consideration for more than twelve weeks and practically nc
 ther business except appropria tion bills was considered in th4' long peroid. Only twelve vote all by democrats, were recorde' against the bill.
 The practical unanimitv with which the measure was passed was due to the radical change made in the measure from tho fnm in which it was drafted b Attorney General Wickersham following numerous conference at the White House on the sull ject of amending interstate com nerce laws All the insurgents who opposed many features C.. he original bill, voted for it.

THE STATEHOOD BILL APPARENTLY
 SET BACK
By Vote of 40 to "A the State hood Bill Was Laid Aside To Make Way For
 Land Bill.

Dispatches from Washing ton during the past week, in- dicates that the statehood bill stands a very poor chance of becoming a law at the present session of congress. Early in the week the senate took up the bill authorizing the Pre- sident to withdraw public lands for conservation pur- poses, this being an admins tration measure. The demo- crats tried to p"ve the way for the statehood bill claim ing it should have right of way over all other matters at this time. However, the Re publicans thought differently and by vote of 40 to A took up the land bill. The action of the senate at this time in- dicates clearly that the bill for statehood has very little, if any chance of going through at this session. It Is now so late and both house and senate are eag rly waiting a chance to adjourn, that the measure seems doomed. Pre- sident Taft wishes the bill put through but there are so many other measures on the administration program m that 1t Is now believed state hood will be put aside or at best 1t will be so late when it comes up for consideration that there will not be suffic1- ent time to take proper action on the bill hence not allowing 1t to come to a vote.
