An Experiment Which Shows a Sort Of
Perpetual Motion Effect.
A novel experiment in the demon
stration Of perpetual motion is to be
performed simply. A glass beaker
about six inches high and four inches
in diameter is filed with water to
the height Of about four and a half
inches. and two and one-half to three
ounces of commercial aniline are add
ed, which will sink to the bottom of
the vessel.
The temperature of the beaker and
its contents is now raised to- ITO or
175 degrees Fahrenheit by mean of a
burner. when it will be observed that
the aniline will rise to the surface of
the water. from which it will hang in
a mass of curved outline. Almost i'm
mediately the suspended aniline com.
mences to alter in. shape. and grad
ually a large drop an inch or more in
diameter detaches itself from the
mass and falls through the water.
And now. the detached drop having
fallen to the bottom of the beaker.
comes the surprising part of the ex-
pertinent. The fallen drop is seen
gradually to rise to the surface. where
it joins the mass from which it pre-
viously broke away. At once another
drop commences to form and, having
become detached. falls and rises in the
same manner as the previous drop.
So long as the temperature of the
water is maintained at ITO degrees
Fahrenheit or over this procedure con.
tinues indefinitely. - Spokane Spokes.

The public statement of a Langdon
citizen is in itself strong proof for
Langdon people. but confirmation

Here is a Langdon citizen who tes-

Pills relieved sick kidneys and now
states the cure was permanent. Can
any sufferer from kidney! I'LL ask better
proof? You can investigate. The case
is right at home.
2. Booth, of Langdon. N. D., says:
"A$few month ago, when suffering from
alamo and aching back, / used Doan's
Kidney Pills. The result were all that

Philadelphia Scientist Makes What Is
Believed to Be important Dis
covery In Wyoming.

Philadelphia.-Joy over the finding
of the skeleton of four-toed horse
believed to represent the very earliest
American stage In the evolution Of the
equine race, pervaded the American
Museum of Natural history.
The discovery is the last word In
the important researches in which
the institution has led the scientific
world, and the descent of the horse
is now traced down to the hypotheti-
cal five-toed animal, from which 1t
is believed that 1t sprang. II 1t should
be found that there is a rudimentary
bone or splint in the feet of the
skeleton which has been unearthed,
the find will be of still greater i'm
portance.
The museum authorities received a
letter from their expedition in charge
of Walter Granger, telling of the
finding of the fossil steed in Watasch,
or lower Eocene formation of the Big
Horn valley, in Wyoming, being the
first complete skeleton of horse
which that formation has ever yield

The forms of old age insurance now
in operation In the European countries
are classified by the commissioner OF
labor as voluntary insurance not sub
sidized by the government. voluntary
insurance receiving government subsi-
dies, compulsory insurance, and nom
contributory insurance. The invesu-
cation revealed that In a number or
European countries funds are found
which provide old age pensions for en-
ployees on the basis Of contributions
from both employers and workmen.
Usually the employer requires the
workman to Join the fund, so that as
far as the employe Is concerned the
system may be regarded as compul
sorry.
The three European countries having
a national system Of compulsory old
age insurance are Austria, France and
Germany. In each case the law emu
merates the classes Of persons subject
to the law. In Austria, the law In
cludes salaried persons only, though
the government is now engaged In
formulating a plan for national sys-
tenn of insurance for workmen. In
France and Germany the law covers

ployed who are receiving wages or sal.

sons of small means are included. The
expense Of the pension in each Of the

Senate Shocked in Closing Session

the Senate adjourned the legislative

covered therefrom 1t was for both
the legislative and calendar day OF
March 4.
AS soon as 1t became noised about
that custom had been violated, sena-
tors began a hasty examination OF
precedents. Senator Gallinger was in
the chair. He referred the question
to Henry H. Gilfry. the senate parlia-
mentarian. After a long search II was
discovered that while the senate never
had a legislative day of March 4 for
the purpose Of winding up session Of
congress, there was no reason, except
custom, for that fact.
For the first time, therefore. leaders
of the senate learned that the calendar
day is superior to the legislative day
