Extremes Of Temperature.

Science reasons that the lowest tenn.
peratufes at the earth's surface are
not found directly at the poles, but at
some distance TO the south of the
north pole and to the north of the
south pole. Likewise the greatest de-
gree of heat is not, as might be sup
posed. TO be found at the equator, but
prevails at some distance to the north
and to the south of that imaginary
line. The coolest place on the earth's
surface Of which there is authentic
record is in Siberia. The lowest tenn
perature ever recorded in the open air
was 90 degrees below zero f. at Wer-
cbajansk, central Siberia. on Jan. II.
1885. The highest temperature OF
which there is an authentic record Is
124 degrees above zero +. in Algeria,
northern Africa. on July Il. 1879.
These places of extreme heat and ex-
treme cold give a range OF tempera-
ture covering the whole inhabited
world of pa degrees. or two degrees
more than from zero to the boiling
point.

Congressman sometimes adopt queer

that his first term would be his last,

was debating what he should do a
friend said. You live near the center
Of the United States, don't. you?"
Yes Then why don't you intro
duce a bill to have the capital moved
to the principal town in your dis

the bill, and the people Of his district
at once concluded he was a great man
and sent him back for another term
He reintroduced the bill in the next
congress, and, although it was prompt

The BIushina Octopus

The octopus frequently changes in
color like marine chameleon. 1t
would appear, from studies Of this
creature, that the colored pigment
whereby this change in color IS effected
is contained in envelopes in its skin
in the tissue OF which are muscular
fibers actuated by nerves. Should
these fibers become relaxed dark
pigment appears. The phenomenon is
said to be analogous to blushing.-Har-

Flying Machines Made Safe

c. II. Burford has completed
blue prints of an invention which
he has been working on for the
past several months. We take
the following from his application
for patent:
This invention relates to new
and useful improvements in safe
ty device for flying machines and
more particularly to a device of
this character that can be fitted
to flying machine of any make
and has for its object to check
the fall of the machine when the
operator has lost control of Same
so that he can gain control of his
machine and be able to alight at
most any position he should de-
sire. Another object of the in
vention is to produce device of
this character which will possess
advantages in points of efficiency,
durability, is inexpensive Of man
ufacture and at the same time is
simple in construction and oper-
alton"
Mr.. Burford has studied the
question of some device which
would make travel through the
air as safe as on the ground and
seems to have come out success
full. He states that he made
small model and tested it out
while in California last year and
that it worked to his entire satis-
faction.
The device which he has in
vented is something on the
order of parachute and can be
raised Immediately upon the
driver loosing control OF his ma.
chine with the same result of
parachute. There seems to be
no reason why the invention will
not be success.
AS soon as the patent for this
safety device is received from
Washington, steps will be taken
to thoroughly demonstrate and
test the invention.

Might Have Been Serious

Mrs. B. f. Leach of Artesian

morning which might have been
far more serious than it is.
Mrs. Leach was washing and
had boiler of clothes on the

into the water in which the
clothes we're, the gasoline be-
came ignited and her hands we're
badly burned. AT this time she
is unable to use either of them,
butitis thought no serious effects
will result.
How she escapedwith no more
serious burns is miracle. Too
much care cannot be exercised
n the use of gasoline.

Crop Conditions in Kansas

The recent heavy rains in this
section of the state have greatly
benefited the growing crops.
Good rains have occurred in
Nebraska, Kansas and Oklohoma
and conditions are now much
more favorable than a week ago.
The forage crops are in excellent
condition and will make a good
yield. The wheat yield which it
was first thought would be light,
has in many instances, turned
out far better than was expected.
Missouri, Illinois, Iowa and other
eastern states are still suffering
fer the want of rain. At this
time conditions are very favor
able for more rain in Meade and
other western counties.

It Does Rain---In Kanass

Meade County received an
other fine rain last Monday.
Nearly an inch fell in less than a
half hour. The rain seems to
have been general throughout
the county.
There is little doubt now about
the later crops. The corn seems
to have suffered little from the
dry weather, and the recent
heavy rates in this section of the
country will insure a good yield.
