The great adaptability OF the

In the South the Shorthorn is still

The breed is not now known by that

Shorthorn Durham. but the Durham

may be stated that in the past there

ABSOLUTE ZERO.

The Froezine Point Of HeIiun1 Gas Is

Although familiar TO scientists. II is
not generally known that the true

this absolute zero ~ meant temper
ature which cannot get any colder,
which means that no heat whatever
exists or can exist at that point This
point is only about $50 degrees helow

thermometers or 273 degrees below the

signifies few words must be placed
here defining heat itseif.
Heat Is caused simply by the thou
sands OF little molecules In any body
or thing vibrating very fast and thus
sending out waves into the ether.
When these waves strike any matter
they cause that matter to become hot,
as we say Now. the faster these
molecules vibrate the more heat s5
given out and the hotter is the body
itself. The slower the molecules the
colder the body SO. il condition
could be reached where the molecules
did not vibrate at all. why. there could
be no heat, and therefore the body
would be. absolutely cold This con.
dition of affairs is reached at the
above mentioned number OF degrees
below our ordinary scales 1t is need
less to say, however. that this abso-
lutte zero of heat has never been at.

From this theory of heat peculiar
view is obtained of our bodies and

To do this II must be composed OF

is that liquids and gases have heet

almost Thus water baS been forced

KAISER WANTS TO SET
PACE FOR ROOSEVELT

Berlin.--Although he says little
about It, for he knows 1t would be
undignified to express his disappoint-
ment too openly, the kaiser is known
to be unusually put out because Theo-
dore Roosevelt declined his invitation
to be the guest of the imperial family
during the former presidents visit
10 Berlin.
IT is reported that the kaiser was
planning a sort of endurance test with
the object Of learning for himself
whether or not the American states
man was entitled to the strenuous
reputation and it is rumored furt or
that the kaiser had planned a success
sion Of events, ranking fiBm hunting
to state functions, to occupy every
minute Of Roosevelt's time here, to
see whether or not he could follow
the pace as well as did the ex-presi-
dent.
Roosevelt will stay at the Adlon
hotel instead Of at the royal palace.
He will arrive here April 2S, and will
be in Berlin 72 hours. According to
his express wishes, he will not be
treated as a state visitor at all, al
though he will be accorded the
kaiser's private hospitality.

CRANE CREATES STIR
AMONG LAWMAKERS
INTRODUCES AMENDMENT TO
INTERSTATE COMMERCE. ACT
Republican Leader Starts Consterna-

Senators and Spectators Hold
Breath Until Amendment is Read
Consists Of Two Words "And

Washington.-When Senator Crane
OF Massachusetts,. arose In the SEN

Crane is one Of the republican lead
ers in the senate and It was naturally
assumed that he would not monkey
with the awesome statute unless he
had something imposing In mind
Perhaps he was carrying out some
suggestion made by President Taft
The crowd looked at Crane, serene
and Indifferent, seated on the sena-
torial mahogany. Then they looked
at the magic paper that had been
carried TO the front by a flying page
and lay on the clerks desk.
The bill had been announced only
by title, but it was this title that Jared
the nerves and fired the Imagination:
"A bill to amend the Interstate Com
merce Act"
There was more or less discussion
as to its effect on Wall street, railroad
earnings, the price of living and the
English elections. Crane was the
cynosure OF all eyes, the center Of al
thoughts the magnet and man OF
mystery.
What had he evolved to change that
great legislative achievement, the
interstate commerce act, that every.
body talks about and nobody under
stands? Such as have early acces.

of the senate were on the qui vivC

prlsing young man. He wanted to be
OF and on the stage. He had no in
fluence, and although he applied to
every manager OF an attraction that
appeared in Dayton, he could not, as
he now expresses 1t, "even get look
in" The next best thing was to get
a position in the mechanical depart
ment Of the theater. He endeavored
to do this but found that the theatri-
cal mechanics union Is a close cor
poration, and as he was not a mem
Der, that he was barred, and that in
order to become a member, he would
be compelled to serve as an apprentice
for two years, and that another rule
of the union prohibited the taking on
of apprentices. However, he was not
discouraged, and gathering as much
money as he could command, COM
menced to frequent the lounging pla-
ces of the envied mechanics. By the
judicious purchase of cigars and 9TH
err things he succeeded in gaining the
favor of the master mechanic, who
agreed to put Austin on as substi-
tute grip at no salary. The first
night that he appeared in his role
of grip he was called upon to move
a piece of scenery, but he could not
be found He was later discovered in
the first entrance watching the per-
formance and was promptly thrown
out Of the theater, but such was the
perseverance and ingenuity Of the
ambitious Austin that half hour
later he was again found in some en-
trance and as promptly thrown out.
It is on record in Dayton that dur
ing one performance Of musical
play he was thrown and kicked off the
stage seven times. BY this time the
attention of the management of trav-
cling companies had been obtained
and he was given a small part In a
musical play His success was In

Of Bailey and Austin as vaudeville
headliners were in demand from coast

cry and Stone, were persuaded to
leave the vaudeville field and like
Montgomery and Stone, Bailey and
Austin have established themselves as
stars Of the first magnitude.

As there is often some one in your

This harmless blessing will digest
anything you eat without the slight

Some folks have tried so long to
