covered his health, and says he is al
most ready to meet his enemies and
prove his claim
Referring to the Post-Dispatch in
terview in London with his old
friend, DR.. Frederick A. Cook, Capt.
Bradley S. Osbon, associate editor
of THE Tourist Magazine" snorted
CONTEMPORARY that any should feel
surprised at Cooks intention to force
an exit from the Down and Out
Club" and said vehemently:
The good, old Peary ship has
struck coral reef. The masts have
snapped off close to the deck, and
the Peary adherents are in tangled
mess of spars and rigging. They
may linger, but not for long. When
DR.. Cook gets back to America on
his second lecture cruise the trailing
broken spars and rigging will all
be cut adrift and all the dead cast
overheard"

again lecture in American" Capt.
OsbOn was asked.
III bet a crock of butter to a big
apple that Dr. Cook planned the
London interview, because of the
numerous times that | have told him
the American people were standing
by to get word from him. He's a
mighty clever man." pursued Capt
OsbOn.
He discovered the North Pole,
and his friends by countless thou
sands believe in him. | expect him
to lecture again in America, and at
no very distant date. There isn't
a hall in the United States big
enough to hold the crowds that will
flock to hear DR.. Cook Peary can't
draw house. Cook will come here
and lecture. l am in close touch
with him throu RI a second party.
He is writing two books. One is
an authoritative account of his trip
to the pole. The other tells of his
experience as a target. The books
and the lectures will revive his bank
account, but that is not their most
important feature. The important
thing is that when Cook drops an

mics will get suddenly thick. There
is every indication that they will

Capt. Osbon was requested to out

the Peary crew.

TREAT WITH TEA AND WAFER
WOMEN TO SHOW LEGISLATORS
NEW METHOD OF LOBBYING.
Will Put Salon Against Jackpot

Good Looking Young Hostess and a
Chaperone Will Keep Open House
in the Interest of the Suffragette
Movement.
CHICAGO.-The Jackpot is to
be supplemented by the salon at
Springfield.
Tea and waters are to vie with
the stronger stimulants which have
been inseparable from legislative
lobbying before.
Pretty girls will pit their skill
against that of corporation lawyers
and saloon keepers.
Feminine methods are to be intro
duced into political wire pulling and
those who are familiar with the in
ternal politics of women's clubs pre-
dict that even the members of the
original senate combine, the jack
potters and the bipartisan gangsters
will learn something new.
The invasion was decided upon at
a meeting of the Political Equality
League in the rooms of the Chicago
Womans Club upon suggestion of
Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCulIoch, O.
justice of the peace at Evanston.
The league will maintain a salon
in Springfield throughout the next
session of the legislature. This
salon will be quite the equal of those
through which brainy women so oft
en- swayed the destines of France.
Good Looking Young Hostess.
The foundation of the salon will
be a good looking young woman.

who is to guide legislators to right
thinking on the suffrage question,
already has been selected She is
Miss Harriet Grim, state organizer
OF the society.

league for this express purpose,

as there is legislator or his wife
III Springfield to be entertained. Mrs.
Deneen is an ardent suffragist. and
she is expected to take leading
part IN the entertaining.
The definite aim of the league for
lhe coming session of the legisla-
lure is municipal suffrage.
viii Rally the Women Also.
Mrs. McCulloch believes the salon
Will serve a double purpose-win
votes in the legislature and also win
support from women for the move
ment. She says:
l believe the salon will be more
euecuVe than a woman in the legis-
azure. At present we have about
nan OF both houses lined up in our
ia'or, and this open house will be
established to receive them.
Inls will go a long way to
strengthen our cause. They say that

way to a legislators vote is through

The Doctor Outdone.

Scottish shrewdness is occasionally
overmatched by Irish wit. The hand
full of people who inhabit certain lit
tie island in the Atlantic, off the coast
of Donegal, enjoy so much health and
so little wealth that there is no doc
tor on the spot. In rare cases OF
emergency a physician is brought in
boat from the nearest village on the
mainland
On one occasion some islanders
who were obliged to summon the doc
tor found that he had gone to Dub
lin on business. AS the case was ur-
gent, they invoked the services of an
other practitioner. This gentleman
was a Scotsman, with the proverbial
canniness of his race, and he declined
to undertake the voyage unless he re-
ceived his fee-a golden sovereign
in advance.
There was no help for it, and the
money was paid. The physician went
to the island and attended to the case.
But when he inquired for boat to
take him away he found that not a
boatman on the island would ferry
him back again for any less considera-
tion than two pounds, paid in advance.
The doctor had to part with the
two sovereigns and to admit that he
had been beaten at his own game.

How liuhtninq Kills,

The cause of death by lightning is
the sudden absorption of the electric
current. When a thundercloud which
IS highly charged with positive elec-
tricity hangs over a certain place, the
earth beneath it becomes abnormally
charged with the negative electric
current, and a man, animal or other
object standing or lying directly be-
meath. also partakes of the last men,
toned influence. If, while the man,
animal or other object is in this con-
dition, discharge takes place from
the cloud above the restoration OF
the equilibrium will be sudden and
violent, or, in language that we can all
understand, the negative current from
the earth will rush up to join the posi-
tive cloud current, and in passing
through the object which separates
the two currents, if it be an animate
thing. will do so with such force as to
almost invariably produce instant
death.
According to the above, which
seems a tenable hypothesis, to say the
least, person is really struck by
the ground current and not by the
forked fury from above at all.

CAVE DWELLERS ALL BLIND.
Animals That Live Underground Have
Sensitive Organs of Hearing.

The underlife of the caves has a
world of its own. Animals are born
in subterranean caverns followed out
by streams, develop, reproduce and
die while forever deprived of the sun
light. There is no cave mammal eX-
cept rat nor is there cave bird.
There are no animals that require
much nourishment.
Grottos with underground rivers
have the most life. Usually the sub
terranean life resembles the general
types of the country. 1t has entered
the cave and become acClimated there,
undergoing divers adaptive modifica-
tons. So we generally find, in modified
forms, the life of our time. But in
some caverns there seem to be the re-
mains of an ancient animal life that
has everywhere else disappeared from
terrestrial rivers and lives only in GER
tain caverns.
The creatures of modern species
that have adapted themselves to un-
derground conditions are sharply sep
arated from the light dwellers. Their
skin is whitish or transparent, The
eye atrophies or disappears altogeth-
er. The optic nerve and the optic
lobe disappear, leaving the brain pro-
foundly modified. Other organs de-
velop in proportion. Those of hear
ing. smell and touch become large.
Sensitive hairs, long and coarse, ap-
pear all over the body.

Children and Fools.

The boy was an idiot. His head was
twice the normal size, and he would
sit for hours without speaking. How
ever when he did emit remark, it
was sure to be startling, and couched
in apt language. One day, an eX-
tremely plain" old maid was calling
on his mother. After long period Of
apparently thoughtless silence, the
idiot remarked suddenly, DO you
know, Miss Perkins, you are absolute
ly the homeliest woman | ever laid
my eyes upon?"
In agony, the mother turned to him:

make such a remark again she cried,

Fire the l4l Guns at

Washington, Aug. 3O.-chief Moore
oi the weather bureau is more than
slIcDtic OF the power of explosives TO
cause rain. Declaring efforts to pro-
duce rain by bombarding the skies
would encourage charlatans and
would be denounced by all eminent
physicists and scientists. Mr.. Moore
has submitted an opinion TO Adjutant
General Ainsworth regarding the for

tana. He says extensive experiments
conducted by the department of ngri-
culture have concmsively demonstrate
cd that rainfall cannot be created by

Rain is produced only by marked
increase in the vapor contents OF the
air or by decided lowering OF the
temperature and man cannot operate
on a scale TO stimulate these condi-
tIons.
