LOWERING OF STANDARDS

That world science. including American
science, is on the down grade Is the con-
clusion drawn by review OF the past
seven years by J. Nick. Cattell. professor
Of Psychology at Columbia University. and
dean OF the school OF philosophy there. He
reaches this deduction In a review Of the
scientific population Of the world at the
end of a biographical encyclopedia just
issued entitled american Men Of
Science This reference book Is quite
an extensive volume. q sort OF scientific
Who's Who. It contains sketches OF 1000
of the leading scientific men and women
of America, though the women are de-
cidedly in the minority.
The selection of men for the volume
was made by taking twelve recognized
scientists in each Of ten different lines Of
work and allowing them to select 100 men
each rs leaders Of the science they rep
resented. In this way the 1000 names were
accumulated, and II was by comparison
Of this list with a similar compiled list
made seven years ago that the editor
draws his conclusions. Some OF the sta
tistics presented are decidedly interest

Women Win Degrees.

PrO1. Catteu turther says that as many
women as men receive scientific degrees;
that on the average they have more lei
sure, and there are four times % many of
them as men engaged in teaching. There
is no social prejudice against, them, he
declares, and he is forced to the conciu-
sion that there is some distinct sex dis
publication against their winning prom
inence in scientific work.
AS to the age Of the men engaged in
high-class scientific work, Prof Cattell
says it is an ominouss sign that there is
but one man on q list Of 1000 who Is
under thirty years. This Is only one in
dication that the. scientific standard is
falling. Genius. he says, will not be de.
MED, and It develops early. Lord Kelvin:
he asserts, was made a full professor at
Glasgow at the age Of twenty-five years;
Thompson, at Cambridge, at twenty-six,
and Autherford, at McGili, at twenty
seven.
Men, 1t is declared, do not do first-class
research work after they have passed
forty-ave years, and in this connection
Prof. Cattell says he has known a num-
Der Of prominent scientific men who were
hindered by teaching from applying them
selves to research work and who looked
eagerly forward. to the time when they
could retire on q pension and devote
themselves to Investigation. He says that
they were uniformly failures after they
reached the age when they could retire.

Decadence in Washington.

Prof. Cattell says there has been decid-
ed falling off in the scientific standard of
Washington. this being represented by
the great scientific departments Of the
government. There tas been an increase
in the number regarded as worthy of q
place in the directory from some Of the
leading universities. but a falling of in
others.
He says the greatest falling OF is shown
In Columbia University, the United States
geological survey, the Department of
Agriculture, the Smithsonian, the Uni
versity Of California. the University of
Pennsylvania and the University of
Michigan.
The greatest gain in scientific standing
is shown by Harvard, the University OF
Wisconsin, the University OF Chicago, the
Carnegie Institution and the University
Of Illinois.
The tabulation Of ages OF the men In
the biographical list indicates that nearly
all OF them have reached prominence be-
tween thirty and forty-five years. The
average age in the accepted class is
thirty-eight. There is only one over forty
five, and he is in the 500 There are but
eighteen women recognized out Of the
LOCO scientific workers. OF these but two
are as high as the second hundred. three
in the third hundred and two in the
fourth.

fluence politically that extends over
the county. This is campaign year
and the Democrat being tho biggest
Democratic paper in the county is ex-
pected to stand the brunt of the on
slaughts of the common enemy, the
Republicans. That the new manage
ment will be equal Ito the duties i'm
posed upon them goes without saying.
Mrs. Roberts has been connected
with the Democrat before and was
subsequently editor and owner of the
Caddo County Democrat which publi-
cation was bought by the present own
ers of the Democrat about two years
ago. As associate editor of the Demo
crat few years ago and of the Cad
do County d emocrat MIS-. Roberts has

PAYNE. E.ALDRICH BILL
REPUDIATED

Those who are keeping an eye
on national affairs have learned
that the old Hoosier State of
Indiana refused to give support
or word of commendation to the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill in the
state convention April 6, at a
time when the President Of the
United States is trying to make
the people believe that the enact
ment into law of the Infamous
measure bearing the names of
the two gentleman above men
toned, who are corporation
magnates, that the passage of
the bill would redeem Republi-
can party pledges. The Demo
Gratis contended, before the last
national election, that promises
by Republican of tariff revision
downward was a rush and poll
tical make-shift. This conten-
tion is justified by the fact that
every stfte thus far heard from
has refused to endorse the un-
American robbers, license or
permit the nouseating thing to
be mentioned where respectable
Republicans are gathered to-
gether. This more clearly than
ever before demonstrates that
the only hope of a free people
lies in the Democratic party, |
and the progressive movement
of the so.called insurgents.

A TIMELESS WORLD.
What Would Happen if We Were En-
 tirely lnclosed by Clouds.


 If astronomers are right in ascrib- ing the wonderful brightness of Venus to the existence of an atmosphere con- tinually filled with clouds, then she must be world without time-at least there can be no measurement of time there such as we have here
 It is because we can see the sun and the stars that we are able to traverse the oceans and run railroad trains across the continents.
 Surround our earth with an unbro- ken shell of clouds and what would be- come of all our clocks and chronom- eters? Not ship could safely cross the sea; not a railroad would be able to run it's trains without a series of frightful wrecks. In few weeks every clock and watch would be hope lessly wrong and all exact timekeep- ing would cease
 Probably there are few who stop to think of the way in which our every day life depends upon astronomical observations. Our great primary time keeper is the earth rotating on it's axis. If we could not see the sun and stars because of clouds we should not know that the earth rotates and there would be no standard to which we could refer our timepieces and by which we could correct them In fact, we should probably have no time pieces
 There could be no hours and min utes. for they are exact divisions of an ideal day based upon celestial ob- servations which would be impossible to us.
 They could not be based upon clocks or other mechanical devices, because the most exquisite chronometer that can be constructed will not keep time indefinitely and must be continually corrected by means of observations of the stars made in the observatories.
 There could be no accurate maps of countries or charts of the seas. for such maps and charts can be made only by the aid of astronomical obser- vations
 There could be no parallels of lati- tude or meridians of longitude. for they. too, are based on celestial ob- servations which would be impossible to us.
 We should not know with any cer- tainty where we were upon the earth. We could not measure the distance from New York to London nor from New York to San Francisco.
 Poetical minds. moved by the spec tacle of Venus fin her glory. have drawn brilliant pictures of the delights of life in that radiant world, but there is another side to the question of which we may well think as we gaze admiringiy upon her electric splen- dor.-Garrett P.

The "Arabiar Niohts,"

The collection of tales called the Thousand and One Nights" or the Arabian Nights" is of unknown date and authorship. It was first made known in Europe about the end of the seventeenth century by Antoine Gal land. who was employed by Colbert to collect manuscripts in the east The copy of the Arabic manuscript brought by Galland from Syria contained a marginal note dated 15S4, and from in- ternal evidence the middle of the fif- teenth century has been fixed upon as the probable period of the composition of the work. Some of the tales were evidently borrowed by the writer from other authors, and Von Hammer iden, tifies at least the plot and some of the stories of the Arabian Nights" with an earlier collection in Persian called the Thousand Fanciful Stories"

April Eoclino.

The origin of the custom of April fooling cannot be traced with any de-
 gree of certainty. In the literature of the last century there are found many references to it. and yet beyond that it is scarcely possible to go. One sug- gestion is that the custom of playing tricks on the first day of April was de- tom, such as the Hull festival among the Hindoos or the Roman feast of the fools. One fact, however. we do know, and that is that the practice prevails in many countries under various names which would seem to indicate that it dates away back to the early history of the Brooklyn Eagle.

ITALIANS IN ARGENTINA.

The Italian is the prin.inal inn migrant. He is easily assiNilated into citizenship because of the lan- guage, religion and mode of living. The very best class of Italian immi- grants have come hither and now form highly respected portion of the population. If furnishing ex- amples of thrift and industry to a people so lacking in these qualities as some classes of Argentinians are, is a sufficient reason for grant of citizenship these people deserve it.. Whole colonies of Italians have been established in various places. So large a percentage of the immigrant class has come from Italy that they have even had some effect upon the language noticeable in the modifica- ton of the sounds of the letters From a Buenos Ayres Letter to the Springfield (Mass.)

UNCLE SAM CAREFUL

If you have been chuckling over the
prospect of sending ugly and insulting
postcards as valentines to someone
whom you have grudge against better
seal them up in an envelope before
mailing or they will never reach their
destination. Otherwise they vii! go
to the dead letter office
1t is said that the postoffice depart
ment is going to wage a severe war on
valentines of this nature, this year. and
will in all probability prosecute all
cases of violation of the law Four
years ago the department sent out an
order to all postmasters to the effect
that cOmic-valentine post cards which
would tend to reflect injuriously on the
recipient of the card should be sent to
the dead letter office at Washington
A close watch will be kept by the en-
ployes of the local office this year. it
is said. and the rule will be strictly
adhered to. 1t is expected that the US
ual number of cards will be thrown out
as the practice is of such long standing
that it will require several years to
break it up altogether.

brewers and the liquor element will
get the best of them. He has issued
the following instructions to the Anti

Make sure that decent citizens are
thoroughly organized. get to the pri-
marieS and nominate men to run for
the legislature who will stand both
for the maintenance of our county OPP

good citizens assert themselves. and
we believe that the temperance ele-
ment in both the Democrat and Re

win out in the primaries and at the
polls that the next legislature will be
composed of strong temperance men.
THE seventy dry counties of this
state will this year elect So represent
atives out of total of 100. Twelve
additional representative districts
composed of more than one county
each, are partly dry. Out of our fifty
senatorial districts % are in terri

rest have territory partly dry. The
net dry majorities cast in the 70 coun-
ties which voted on the local option
