NO SHEET LIGHTNING.
Only Reflection says Speaker Before
Academy of Science.

The annual meeting of the Kansas
Society of Science continued it's ses-
sions in the supreme court room today
with good attendance. Great inter-
est Is taken in the technical papers
read at the meetings. A. A. Graham
OF topeka read a paper today on the
subject, Lightning in the course of
which he declared that sheet light
ming, as seen Illuminating clouds, or
neat lightning, as called when reflect
ing against the sky beyond the hofi-
zon. is but an appearance, reflection
or illumination from the chain or bolt

now classified into chain, heat or sheet
and ball. Direct observation is given
as furnishing the highest proof, but
circumstances are also relied upon.
such as the observation of the bolt by
a cloud and the intermittent play be-
yond the horizon, where the reflections
correspond with the play of the chain

lions of storms by those at the foot of
mountain and those on top above
the clouds is suggested as method
for direct and convincing proof
j. NJ. McWharf. of ottawa speaking
from the subject of Tuberculosis, ascrib-
ed age, sex. hereditary tendency. vita
ted air, climate. contagion. and occu-
patton as causes. That our conception
of this disease has been radically chang
ed since 1881. That the milk and meat
of tubercular animals have great deal
to do with the spread of the disease.
His conclusions further were that a
large per cent of tuberculosis in chill
dren is the result of. bovine bacillus
being introduced into the human body
through the milk from cows tainted
with the disease. That this danger
could be obviated by the use only of
sterilized milk. That the infection of
tubercle may take place on a mucous
surface such as the ear, nose, mouth
or it might be transmitted through the
agency of the blood.
That medicines are to be considered
only as adjuncts. That climate is the
least essential of the consumptive's ne
cessities. That a thorough understand
ing Of sanitary laws and how to apply
them to the best interests of the peO-
pie is more to be desired. That more
sanitariums should be built in the var
iouS states.
That tuberculosis, as a rule, is pro-
tracted and rebellious disease, but that
it is cura ole.

BAD FOR BANK ROBBERS.
Representative Watson Would Impris
on Them for Life.

Representative elect Watson of AL
len county, who is now serving as as
sistant bank commissioner, is prepar-
ing bill to make bank robbery and
house burglary punishable with life
term in the penitentiary. Speaking
today about his proposed measure, Mr..
Watson said:
When a robber enters a dwelling
house or bank for the purpose OF
stealing, he goes prepared to commit
murder, if necessary. He is worse
than the average murderer for the
reason that he doesn't know who his
victim will be. He even doesn't know
how many people he will KILL
Secretary of State Denton will use
his influence to help secure the pas
sage of these proposed laws. He says
that they should be enacted by all
means; that such laws are needed to
stop the reign of terror now existing
in Kansas.
