AMERICAN WANDEREusT.
A Habit Which Strengthens the Co
hesivo Unity Of the Nation.

A Habit Which Strengthens the Co
hesivo Unity Of the Nation.
Less than half the members Of the
United States senate and house Of rep
resentatives are native born in the
states which they represent Nothing
could more clearly show the alert ac-
tivities of the American people and
that constant intermingling Of the in
habitants of the several states which
adds so much to the cohesive unity OF
the nation. The boy who goes to a
distant state often accomplishes more
than the one who goes straight on In
the footprints Of his father in the
home village Even Daniel Webster
was not born in the old Bay State,
whose influence and dignity he so well
sustained and whose people moufned
him SO sincerely when his great life
closed.
This wandering from state to state
has resulted in the organizing In New
York city Of many state societies,
which aim to gather together the ma
tives Of their respective states an
nually to revive the pleasant memories
Of the old home days, with their thou
sand clinging ties.
What would happen If the Ameri-
can people should cease to wander
about the country ? is question often
asked. 1t is said that an eastern man
never amounts to anything until he
goes west and that a western man
has to- come east in order to attain his
full stature mentally. The northern
man is advised to go south to learn
gentle courtesy and chivalric bearing,
the southerner to go north to add
more iron to his blood There can be
no doubt that this constant evolution
has encouraged the birth Of new ideas,
just as the whirling of the kaleidoscope
developed a toy into our present won
derful moving pictures, which gives us
glimpses of life in motion all over the
world. Joe Mitchell Chapple in Ma
tional Magazine.

1t is q curious fact-one all at vari-

but borne out by police records that
the children of crooks, Of all classes,
rarely turn out to be crooks them

might reveal that they are possessed
Of the criminal instincts, but that the
tragically close example of the punish
ment and Indebtedness that attend a
criminal career has been terrifying

remains that he takes as much time

By Ben s. Gross


During his term it became necessary to select
United States Senator, and as the greatest
question of the dav was the admission of Texas
to the Union, naturally the views of the differ
ent candidates on this subject had great deal
to do with their selection The Democrats
their candidate would hold the same opinion
as the party; but instead of this he announced
himself as opposed to the plan. This so dis
gusted kelso that he and friend whom he had
influenced withdrew from the caucus and posi-
lively refused to vote for the aspirant who was
false to his party.
Their action resulted in deadlock in the
Legislature. The two obstinate members
were pleaded with, cajoled, and even threat
ened with personal injury; but to no avail.
Gentlemen" said kelso at last, on being
asked upon what terms he would compromise,
" there is only one thing to do, and that is to
elect man who represents the party's views
Such man is Edward A. Hannigan, and we
must choose between him and the Wing man.
Now what are you going to dor"
The caucus saw that the only thing to do
was to accede to Keso's wishes, and as result
Hannigan was elected United States Senator
By strange stroke of fortune Hannigan took
his seat in time to vote on the Texas propo-
sition, and when the votes had been counted
it was found that the measure had passed by
just one vote.
There seems no doubt that had the annexa-
ton bill failed to pass then it would have gone
through some other time. However, had the
regular party man been elected, as he would
have been if Kelso had not been chosen Senator
by Hawkins vote, the bill would have failed at
that time at least. Therefore, it is historically
correct to say that the vote of a dying back
woodsman was the cause of our with
Mexico, as the struggle grew out directly from
the requirement of Texas; which meant also
the addition of Arizona, New Mexico. and a
large part of the Pacific Coast.

places mentioned as seats of taste perception.
and also in other places, though not SO thick,
are what are known as taste buds" They
get this name from their almost exact similar
ity to bud when cut in cross section. These
taste buds have in them the excessively fine
branches of the nerves of taste that carry the
impulse to the brain.
The only reason a great many things are
tasteless to us is because they are not soluble
in water or saliva. Take sand, for instance, or
lead or gold. None of these gives any taste on
this account.
The tongue of course has many uses besides
the organ of taste. One of the chief of these is
the ability of its end to perceive very slight
touch sensations The tip of the tongue is
proved by numerous experiments to be the
most delicate touch perceiver in the human
body.
Of course the foodgates of the saliva ducts
are controlled by nerves from the brain. One
or two peculiar experiments can be tried to
show results of thought on their operation. If
one thinks about sucking lemon about
eating luscious pear, his mouth Immediately
receives an extra flow of saliva-the mouth
waters for them. If person is frightened. the
flow of saliva is stopped, and Immediately
afterward one perceives that his mouth is ex-
traordinarily dry and cannot account for it.

IT is we'll known that most of
1 the great events of history,
while being the termination of

some general movement tendency, always
have some minor cause. This statement can
not be better illustrated than by relating
story of the direct of the war between
United States and Mexico. If anyone should
state that this struggle was brought on by the
vote of an ignorant backwoodsman of Indiana,
who died sixty-seven years ago, the reader
would be surprised; yet this was exactly the
case
In 1S43 hot campaign was waged in Swift
erland County, Indiana, for the State Senator
ship Both aspirantS for the office had about
an equal number of supporters, and for that
reason every vote meant great deal tor each.
AS the end of the battle drew near it was plainly
seen that the lucky candidate would land in
Office by very slight plurality; therefore
every voter in the county was urged to be at
the polls.

consumption, he went to do a thing for the

he not had such brilliant lawyer as Daniel
Keso to defend him. For this great service
the simple woodSman swOre everlasting allie

Jumping Stars

ONE of the most interesting things appearing
in the telescope when that instrument is
pointing heavenward is the appearance of
jumping stars. Of course we can see stars
twinkle without telescope; but with a tele-
scope they may be seen to jump and actually to
dance. The cause is the same,-mixing cur
rents of light and heavy air causing refraction
or bending of the rays of light coming from the
star We can see the same phenomenon by
looking at a small object in a room through the
air directly over hot radiator. The object
seems to jump. and dance as if playing hide and
seek with itself.
This jumping in the telescope or twinkling to
the naked eye has also been explained by what
is called interference. If two sources of light
are placed close to each other, then on screen
placed properly we can catch an alternate
band of white and dark lines. Of course if the
eye be placed at dark line, it can see neither
source of light. The production of these dark
lines is accomplished by different light waves
reaching the screen in opposite phases SO as to
blot out or cancel the effect due to each. In
like manner it can be shown that if the star has
polychromatic light, it can, and has actually
been observed to, change color from this effect
alone.
The best time to observe this effect of star
dancing is on cold crisp night. The telescope
should be pointed to a twinkling star as near
the horizon as can be found as to see a star on
the horizon we have to look through much
more atmosphere than to see one in the zenith
and there is consequently more chance for
varied currents

IT'S getting ready for storm. See how the
i smoke beats down just soon it comes
out of the chimney? That's because the air is
so heavy it pushes the smoke down before it
has time to rise" One often hears this stated
as fact concerning that most generally talked
of subject on earth, the weather The speaker
was probably right under those conditions in
prophesying storm; but he was scarcely
right in assigning as reason that :" the air is
so heavy it pushes the smoke down."
Nearly everybody knows it is easier to swim
in salt water than in fresh water. AS salt
water is heavier than fresh water, it is evident
that the heavier the liquid the greater the
buoyant force.
The atmosphere exerts buoyant force upon
the smoke from chimneys in exactly the same
way that water exerts buoyant force upon a
swimmer. Therefore, when the smoke beats
down" as soon as it leaves chimney it must
be concluded that the buoyant force exerted
upon it is relatively small, and that the air is
not heavy but light.
A light atmosphere. or rather sudden
lessening of the pressure of the atmosphere,
generally takes place before storm. There
fore, the smoke from chimneys, if observed in
diligently. furnishes pretty good weather
indicator.

Flavor Sensation

IT is not generally known that we can taste
only four different kinds of matter; that is,
perceive by means of the tongue any more than
four taste qualities of matter. They are sweet,
sour, bitter, and salt. If one holds his nose and
places on his tongue in succession pieces of
apple, onion, raw potato, and beet, he cannot
tell the difference between them. BY these
experiments it has been determined that the
sense of smell has great deal to do with the
favors perceived Or taken cognizance of by
the brain. AS the tongue can distinguish only
these four sensations, it is at seen that all
variations in taste due to the sense of
smell. In some cases, as with the orange, all
the flavor is in the smell; SO when we eat an
orange while we have cold no taste is appar-
ent.
These four sensations also have not their
tongue. Sugar and other sweets are perceived
at the tip of the tongue, as are also salty
things. If a little sugar is placed on the back
of the tongue, no sweetness is apparent. The
locus of sour and bitter perception is back
farther in the mouth and placed on the sides
of the tongue. Both these facts are easily
proved by experiment.
Another popularity of taste perception is
that dry things cannot be tasted; only those
that are in solution. If dry cracker is placed
on the tongue, no taste is apparent until the
saliva has dissolved part of it. If the tongue
is wiped dry with handkerchief and little
sugar is placed on it, no taste is perceived for
sometime.
The mechanical arrangements provided by
the body for the perception of taste are also
interesting. In the mouth, situated in the

The Traction Engine Case.

On petition of Samuel F. Stout
fer, contractor building the State
Road IN Bethel township, a tenn
porarv injunction was granted
by the Court at the recent Octo-
Der term, restraining one William
Stetler, lumberman, from us
ing a traction engine of unusual
weight aud size to haul loaded
wagons over the public roads of
Bethel township. For the pur-
pose of hearing evidence in this
case, and adjourned session of
court was held Tuesday and Wed
nesday until noon This brought
lawyers from Cham bersburg and
a large number of citizens of
Bethel township interested In the
outcome of the case.
The question of the right of
traction euglnes on the public
roads is one that has been the
subject of more or less agitation
for several years; and while tenn
poraly injunctions have IN some
other counties have had the effect
of taking the traction engine off
the road, Mr.. Stetler felt like
lighting this to a finish, aud at
least making a test case.
On Tuesday morning a petition
of the supervisors of Bethel to wn
ship was presented to Court ask
ing that they might be allowed
to join Mr.. Stouffer as plaintiffs
against Mr.. Stetler. This, the
Court allowed, but exceptions
were filed by the defendants
counsel.
The evidence showed that the
engine IN question weighed some
fifteen tons, that the loads drawn
averaged about SIX tons, and thai
the engine was dao4aging the
new road. State Highway Com
missioner Hunter was present
and testified that it Is impossible
to construct a highway that woult
stand up against such usage.
After the hearing of the eJl
dence the Court adjourned untl
such time as the Stenographel
should have the notes typewriter
and placed IN the hands.of the at
torneys interested when the CASE
will be argued and a decision
given.
