So far you have accomplished
striking and :.tieklish" balancing feat
and that IS all. Now attach bullet,
coin or any small heavy object to a
thread and carefully lower it into the
water in the little glass. AS soon as
the coin touches the water the glass
begins to go down, the knives like see
saws on the corks and the more of the
coin you submerge the lower goes the
glass, so that if the coin is large you
will have smash before it is half I'M
der water. But you can pull it up at
any instant. AS you do so the glass
follows as if it were glued to the coin
and so you can keep it see-sawing up
and down.
Perhaps the reason of this is not
clear to you. The coin is held up by
the thread and does not touch the
glass, so how can it affect it? Well,
the coin is not held up by the thread
alone. The part that is under water
is held partly by the thread and part
ly by the water which buoys it up with
a force equal to the weight of an
equal bulk of water. The coin, there
fore presses the water, and conse-
quently the glass, downward with an
equal force.
Now when you Pull out the coin this
extra weight is taken off, so the glass
rises to its original position.

WILLIAMS MUST PAY BACK.
Funds Of the Levee Board Not His
Personal Property.


Personal Property.
From a general interest viewpoint
the most important case decided Py
the supreme court Monday was tfiat OF
Writ Adams, state revenue agent. VS..
F. |. Williams, treasurer, etc, being
the final announcement in a some
what celebrated case, and one that has
been before the court first and last for
some two years. The general conclu-
sion Of the court, as announced By
Judge Whitfield, who prepared an elab-
crate opinion, was that there is no
question that F. l. Williams was liza
BILE for the accrued funds OF the upper
Ievee board, of which he was the le-
sally constituted official custodian,
and that these funds were not his per-
sonal perquisites.
Judge Whitfield covered the facts
and circumstances out of which the
case grew, in general terms, relating
for the information Of the bar that,
acting In his official capacity, as a
bonded officer, Treasurer Williams
had placed the funds IN certain banks,
which had in turn allowed him a recip-
rOcating interest, which Williams had
claimed as his personal assets and
perquisites. The amount involved in
this particular suit was some $4,000,
which the state revenue agent discov-
cred through his expert deputies, and
after a careful investigation of the
subject, filed suit in order to decide
once and for all whether any fiscal or
fiduciary officer of the state, or Of any
county or levee board, can claim any
share of interest accruing on deposits
placed by him as such trust funds.

How Much Should the License Be?

Gentlemen, as business men,
when we have anything to sell, we
first ascertain its cost to us, and
upon that estimate our profit, and
the addition of the two will tell US
what we should sell for. You, gen.
tlemen, are discussing among other
things in this bill the price of a
license, and wisdom would dictate
that you first ascertain its cost to the
commonwealth, and then you can
form an intelligent judgment of
what you should obtain for the
same. Statistics show that there is
Expended in the United States $780,
100000 yearly, directly for strong
sdrink, and equal sum indirectly to
take care of the victims of the traffic,
smaking a total of $3.50, 100000 a
syear. Now..if we divide this amount
by. 10000, the number of saloons
FIN the country, we have $4,000 as
sthe cost of every saloon and conse-
tqnently Of every license. You can
mot accept a less sum than that with
out conducting your business at a
loss. H Clay Bascom before the
FCommittee at Albany, N. Y, in refer
ence to a License Law.

With full attendance, including the
three members of the board and a
number of officers of the penitentiary
department, the board of prison trus-
tees met for their regular monthly ses-
sion Wednesday.
Concluding his report, Tru stee Tay-
lor had the following to say:
Our experiment with wheat in the
delta has been perfectly satisfactory
and up to our most sanguine eXpCcta-
.ions, the crop yielding, according to
The best wheat men whom we have
had to inspect it, not less thar forty
bushels per acre. We therefore feel
encouraged to increase the wheat acre
age very considerably this fall.
I'VE are very much convinced that
it is part of our duty, at least t. diver.
sify and develop such crops as viii
prove beneficial, not only to the sta e
farm, but to serve as an object-lessoA
to the entire farming population. We
have fine state in which to live, and
should all, in my judgment, thorough
" develop the many resources availa-
Bile within its borders"
Col. Montgomery, the First district
member of the board, takes also a
rather optimistic view of the outlook,
and prospects seem good for crops of
every description. He said:
81 really think that movement
ought to be put On foot by the next
legislature to sell the Oakley place and
buy the Wesson Mill property or else
erect some mill in the delta whereby
the five or 81 xthousand bales Of cotton
that the state makes can be manufact-
ured on her own SOIL"

No Bidders for Bonds.

no DIQOcTS Tor 6On0Ss
Gov Noel does not anticipate the
likelihood of a special session of the
legislature being made necessary on
account Of his failure to sell the $780,
900 state bond issue, authorized at the
recent session to meet the prospective
deficit in revenues for the biennial pc
Rod.
While the failure to market the
bonds a surprise and disappointment
to Gov. Noel, he attributes it not to
any lack of confidence in Mississippi
securities, but to the present condition
OF the money market that renders a
four per cent bond, twenty-year period,
unattractive to the bond-buying syndi-
Gates.
The governor was especially sur
prised to learn that the foreign bond
committee of the London stock ex-
change had issued a warning against
Mississippi bonds, and also the securi-
ties of North Carolina ON account of
the reputation Of certain ante-bellum
issues.

In event there is not an improv e.
ment in the general financial situation
that gives promise of the likelihood of

GREY GRANITE.

Anderson Bros. & Johnson who
operate granite manufacturing plant
in Granite Heights, are opening a
new quarry. The one being opened
contains kind of granite not nere-
tofore quarried in this section, ana If
it turns out as expected another re-
source which is bound to advertise
Marathon county will be developed.
Indeed, so far as known there is no
other granite like it west of Vermont,
the Barry of that state being some
what similar.
Anderson Bros. & Johnson have
long been engaged in quarrying and
finishing the red granite, of which
there is an unlimited amount in the
vicinity of Heights. Some time ago
their attention was directed to some
large grey boulders east of the rail-
way about midway between Heights
and Trappe river. Samples were
broken off some of these boulders and
found to be granite resembling the
Scotch or Vermont GRANTEES. A
piece was taken into the company's
works and polished and it was proved
that it will take on very fine polish.
This piece can be seen at the Walker
Monumental Works, near the Gem
etery.
The only doubt regarding this stone
is as to quantity. The outcroping is
on side hill and present indications
are that the supply is large. Further
exploration may prove more encour-
aging. If this proves to be the
case there will be no other section of
the United States, so far as known,
nor perhaps in the world so favored
as Marathon county In its granite,
for we already have the red and green
GRANTEES.

tend. There will be no charge for
admission. Small children are not
wanted. Pupils Of the seventh grade
and upward viii be welcome. Seats
in the middle, at the front, will be
reserved for the relatives OF the grad
yates. Exercises begin at eight
o'clock.
1t is the custom in the literary
society at the last session for the
junior class TO give farewell pro-
gram to the seniors. The program on
Friday was especially enjoyable. In
addition to customary recitations
and musical numbers there were a
humorous play, 'His Sweet Bouquet"
"Mimicry Of the graduates" by sew
eral of the juniors, "a Meeting Of
Classmates, who, looking backward,
recounted humorously the fortunes of
the alumni, Jokes at the expense Of
the class and Farewell Address"
An exercise which afforded much
merriment was voting who in the
class was most popular, most scholarly,
the prettiest, the sweetest, most hap
py-go-lucky, and the teachers pets.
The verdict was Miss st. Mary, Miss
Lystul, Miss Umnus, Miss Wachitl,
Mr. Lang, Miss Fogarty, SIR. Eswein
and Miss Weber.
An afternoon devoted to merry
making and laughter affords a pleas
ant relaxation at the end OF ten
months strenuous work.

Ing a trip through the Yellowstone
National park, and the banquet win
be at the training school building,
Wednesday evening. We trust every
class will be represented as fully as

A GREAT PICTURE.

The picture I'm the Shadow OF the
Cross which is now on exhibition
here for the benefit of St. Johns In
Urinary should be seen by every one
who can possibly do so.
1t is certainly wonderful stand
point there is no miracle about it.
The Cobalt absorbs artificial light
and reflects it and that will explain
how the picture can be seen in a
darkened room. The one unexplain-
able thing is the cross in the back
ground. The artist claims he did
not paint the cross. Scientists claim
that the paint of that part OF the
picture is not Cobalt and therefore
the light is not reflected and the cross
appears. Anyway the picture is worth
thought and study and every one
should try and see this picture.
