Dalton's Experiment.


The English chemist Dalton was q
schoolteacher. He worked without a
laboratory and with crude apparatus,
mostly made by himself from simple
materials. Here is an example describ-
ed in his own words:
TOOK an ale glass of a conical fig.
ure, two and half inches in diameter
and three inches deep; filed it with
water that had been standing in the
room and consequently Of the tempera-
ture OF the air nearly; put the bulb Of
the thermometer to the bottom Of the
glass. the scale being out Of the water.
Then, having marked the temperature,

seconds to $50 de- recs."
He then determined the temperature
of the water at the bottom after five
minutes, after twenty minutes ard aft.

GREAT NORTHERN
WILL BURN OIL

After a thorough investigation by
an expert for more than year,
the Great Northern has decided to
utilize oil for fuel on practically all
it's locomotives west of Leavenworth
Wash, in the Cascade mountains
1t will take an emmense amount of
money to equip the locomotives with
new burners and install the tank
facilities along the system, but it has
been figured that big saving can
be accomplished in the long run and
that much economy can be realized
in fuel alone, while the dirt and
smoke incident to coal consumption
will be eliminated. Official an
nouncement of the plan has been
made. 1t is said that the work will
be carried on with the greatest ex-
pediency, so that within compar-
itivcly short time oil engines will
be in service as far east as Spo-
kane, Wash.
Crude petroleum oil will be ship
ped from the Oil fields of Californ-
ia by boats to the docks at Ever
EFT, Wash. The boats will carry from
25,0ao to $4,000 barrels on a trip.
Three main storage tcii.,,Cc with a
combined capacity Of 100000 gal
Ions will be erected at Everett. The
~! ~: I'll DC pumped ont oi the boat
into pipe line 1000 feet in
l@ngth. The cost of handling this
fuel is small, compared with coal,
effecting a great saving in trans
DortatiOn.
Numerous small tanks for the
storage of oil will be erected at diff
ferent points along the west end of
the system until they will be as
common as water tanks are at the
present time.
The CRATES on lis locomotives
are to be removed and be replaced
with oil burners involving much
work i'll the shops at the west end.
This covers practically all the mo-
tive power of the Great Northern
west of the Cascades and will in
clude the switch engines.
AS far as is known in local rail-
road circles the Great Northern
scheme is original in it's wide aDpii-
cation, the plan is applied to a big
ger territory than ever before so
distant from the source of oil sup
ply.

TALK OF CONTEST|NG
WH|TEE|SH VOTE

Certificates of election were
awarded the successful candidates
last week, Immediately after the
completion of the official count.
There was some talk of the election
of Henry Good, elected county COM
missi Toner, being contested on the
ground that the official stamp used
in the Whitefish precinct was not
the one sent them this year, but an
old stamp. The contention was that
this would invalidate the entire
Whitefish vote, and therefore Good,
who ran far ahead of his opponent
in this precinct, would fail OF cleo
ton without the Whitefish vote
Leaving the Whitefish vote out en-
tirely it would not affect any other
result, but it is not probable that
any action on the contest on such
flimsy ground would be sustained
in the courts.

an envelope and addressed and mailed

Both men made a diligent search for
the missing letter. But it could not be
found. So the debtor gave his friend

How to Wash Silk Gloves.

SILK gloves can be washed like any
ordinary material. though 1t is best to
soak colOred ones in salt water before
washing them, especially If the colors
are not substantial. After rinsing the
gloves turn them wrong side out and
hang in shady place to dry. Do not
sprinkle them before ironing, but
dampen a towel, roll them in it aud
leave for an hour or two. Iron the
gloves on the wrong side. as it raises
the thread on the right. When per-
fectly dry turn them. and you will be
pleased to see they look like new ones.

PERMANENT COMMUNICATION.

The owners of the Atlantic cable lines no longer smile when the wire less telegraph system is mentioned. It has not taken very long to test the merits of the system and to es- tablizh its dependency for long dis tance use. Messages have already been transmitted through the air over the a,45o miles between the two high pow CT stations situated at C1ifden in Ire and and Glace bay in Canada We five so fast in this age of the world hat we are getting used to the sur prising developments of science, and so when this very remarkable achieve ment was accomplished, it created less interest and excitement than the transmission of a message for a few miles did a few years ago. It is an- nounced that under ordinary circum- stances & message may be sent from London to Montreal in about 40 min utes, most of the time being taken up with transmission over the land lines The first inter message sent between these two stations was from Lord Strathcona to Sir Wilfrid Laur- fer. congratulating him upon the erec- tion of the transatlantic service. It is fin daily use and is winning favor with business concerns on both sides of the Atlantic The domestic use of the wireless is being extended to all parts of the continent

Endowinq Roosevelt.

A circumstantial story emanating from Washington and published in a New York newspaper, is to be the eff feet that Theodor Roosevelt is to be come the founder and nominal head of a great national university This potential institution, 1t is declared, is to have unlimited financial backing Indeed the story runs that the Laird of Sl1ibo is to be its principal angel ? that he hopes to rival the proposed Rockefeller foundation in this fashion; that the plan was conceived before Mir Roosevelt set out for the jungle, and that particular attention would be paid in this unque and distinctive institution to instruction in forestry conservation, the public health. inter state commerce, international la W and kindred subjects.
 If there be any truth in this report it means, of course that the colonel will adhere to his promise not to ac- cept the nomination for a third term as president. Indeed, there may be some ground for the belief that he cherishes a desire to devote the re- mainder of his years to literary and educational pursuits. Moreover, the stupendous character of this proposed plan is such as might be expected from so virtile and active a person. The question of whether such an insti- tuition is needed, though. seems not to enter into the reckoning. And that is a very grave question. It is quite possible that more could be accom- pIished for the good of the country by improving those universities which are already ablished.-Pittsburg Post.

A sILLIoN-poLLAR COUNTRY

When the expenses of the govern ment first exceeded a billion dollars congress was loudly called upon to halt by the opposition. That was sev- eral years ago, but the cry of alarm was without effect. and there has been no attempt to make this anything less than a billion dollar country.
 In the last regular session of con- gress the total appropriati mounted up to more than $1,o44, ,0o0 900. Thus far. there is no sign that they will fall below that enormous figure for the present session, regardless Of the talk of cutting down expenditures In fact, the probabilities are they will go considerably above that sum. Presi- dent Taft can keep the outlay close to the billion-d dollar mark by vetoing the river and harbor bill which carries about s52,0OO.0oo but inasmuch as the public desires river and harbor inn provement it would be of doubtful wis dom to put in such a veto.
 The day of great governmental en- terprises is upon us and the great waterway schemes and irrigation plans for the redemption of dry districts call for continuous large outlays It Is apparent enough that the billion dollar mark has been passed for keeps and the prospect is that the billion and half session of congress is not so far away. It takes billions to run a republic which will soon pass the 10O.- ooo,6Oo mark in population.
