1891 and who, he says. married him
to get cut OF society. He writes:

DistilIate, Produced at Rockefeller In.
stitute In New York, Drunk, Not In
hailed, Sent the Animal PainIessiy 70
Sleep--No Nausea.
In the hope Of discovering new an
aesthetic, harmless, prompt and With
out after effects, chemist Of the
Rockefeller institute in New York city
is daily experimenting with the mys-
teries of sleepy grass" as it is known
on the high plateaus Of the west, or
Stipa vaseyi, as it is known to science.
A distillation Of sleepy grass when
given to a rabbit sent the little animal
painlessly to sleep, and when 1t awoke
it was as brisk as If reused from a
refreshing slumber. Its heart action
had remained normal throughout
There was no nausea or other after
effects.
Results Not Far OF.
Sleepy grass therefore promises, in
the opinion of the chemist who Is ex-
perimenting with it, to produce an
anodyne which viii not be inhaled,
but will be drunk without any Of
those painful struggles against uncon-
seiousness which accompany ether
There is probably no place in the
world where analytical chemistry can
bring to its aid more modern methods
than at the institute. From the prog.
ress made so far by the chemist the
properties of Stipa vaseyi are expected
to be known In a comparatively short
time. Means of making the anaesthet-
ic available for surgeons will then be
taken, but not, OF course, until the
most exhaustive experiments have
been made to confirm its usefulness.
10 Knew About IL.
At the broncho busting contests In
the western part Of Texas, where the
cowboy still fingers, victory was won
by the Indian and with ease. The fiery
bronchos with records of untamable
perversity and unwillingness to serve
as mounts were brought into subjee-
ton after brief struggle.
The red men got away with the
prizes under the suspicious scrutiny Of
the cowboys It was not long after
the winners had put miles between
themselves and the tourney place be-
fore an investigation OF their quarters
showed that they had a supply OF
sleepy grass.
Out OF this deceit came the curiosity
that, It h positively expected, will add
the laurels of a new discovery TO the
Rockefeller institute.
Drowsy cattle have often been found
on the ranges where the cowboys
knew there was sleepy grass As this
condition never left the cattle tn other
than good condition, no effort was ever
made to eradicate or avoid the wild
hay. This grass belongs to the same
family as the bearded mesquite, q val
liable fodder in southern Texas.

Wednesday in History.

On May Is, IVA, General
Gage. the commander in chief
of the British army in North
America, began his administra-
ton as military governor of Massa
chusetts, and imagined that its
colonial difficulties were ended.
1t was not long however, before
Gage was writing home for rein
forcements. He found himself
unable to enforce the new laws
with which parliament had pro-
vided him. The Americans mel
at Faneuil Hall and declared that
England had no right to change
the laws of the province and that
furthermore theNnew government
set up by Gage under the Regula-
ton Act was clearly mconstitu-
tional. Virginia backed up Mass
achusetts, and so the administra-
ton of this war governor was a
stormy one, although he was a
man who dearly loved ease. Gen
eral Gage was not such a fierce
and blood-thirsty man as he Is
sometimes painted. He was mild
and good natured and utterly un-
fit for the task of bringing a
free people into submission. He
had instructions to punish Samuel
Adams, John Hancock, Joseph
Warren and others, but never did
he so much as attempt their ar
rest. The determined attitude
of the patriots bewildered him,
and they kept so carefully with
in the law that he could not pun
ish them. The colonists con
tinued their town meetings and
went ahead arranging conven-
tons, the governor simply look
ing on, amazed at their perver-
sity. And so it was that the
administration of Gage at Boston
although backed by an army led
naturally to the climax Of Amer
lean independence.

A Radical Departure.

There never was a time in the
history of the world when good
stories and articles could com
mand such large prices as they
do today. 1t is an extremely ex-
pensive thing to publish a high
class magazine nowadays, filled
with the best products Of the
most famous authors and artists.
Yet together with its many
attractive features THE CHICA-
co "RECORD-HERALD furnishes
its readers with its Sunday Mag
azine section that compares fav-
orably with the best weeklies and
monthlies, and has some merits
peculiar to itself. The most ia
nous writer's and illustrators con-
tribute to 1t. Some OF the chOlc-
est novels of the year are pub
lished serially in its columns be-
fore they see the light in book
form. The best new humorist
since Mr.. Dooley began writing
is a regular contributor to its
columns alone. To furnish such
a magazine with every copy Of a
Sunday newspaper is an amazing
venture, yet the experiment has
proved a complete success and !:
now firmly established.

Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit,
the German physicist, who per-
fected the thermometer to its
present standard, was born at
Danzig, May IA, 1856. In 1920
he first conceived the idea Of US
ing mercury instead of the spirits
of wine in the construction of
thermometers and by means of
the innovation the accuracy Of
the instrument was very much Inn
proved. His thermometer, since
its introduction, has been in gen
eral use in Holland, Great Britain
and the United States.
The invention of the thermom-
eter is ascribed to Calico il
1879, although several Others
claimed the honor. The Weathe.
glass of the seventeenth century
consisted of a bulb and tube in
verified and opening into a cup o.
colored liquid.
Fahrenheit adopted a scale o.
PIP degrees, ranging from 3
degrees below the temperature o.
freezing water, up to that of bod
ing water at sea level.
The Centigrade thermometer
used in France and is in yer!
high favor among scientific me-
everywhere. 1t consists of To-
degrees, decimally divided an.
graduated from the freezing of tn
boiling point Of water. In nearl
all scientific observations, temper
AZURE is given as 50 many degree
Centigrade.
