Stubbs Would Aid Farmers.

Topeka, Kan.-Governor Stubbs Is
inquiring into the condition in Western
Kansas with view to aiding the farm
ers in getting seed wheat for fall SOW
ing. 1t is said that some half dozen
counties, where the hot weather af-
fected the wheat crop disastrously this
year, may need some such help.
A special session of the legislature
seems to be the only way in which a
county may be empowered to advance
seed wheat money to farmers. j. W..
Schlicher, representative from Sheri-
dan county, has wired the governor
asking him to consider a special ses7
sion to get relief in the matter.
1t was stated at the governors Of
flee that half a dozen requests had
come In so far for a special session.
The governor is inquiring into condi-
tions, not with a view to calling a spei
cial session, but to find out what re-
lief is necessary and to SEQ if the sit
uation cannot be handled in some way
other than by calling the lawmakers
together.

Scales That Would Weigh Thought

a tiny mirror, upon which beam of light Is
focused. The result is that shifting point OF
light is thrown upon a graduated black scale six
feet away The weight of the tube, with the gas
in it, is then recorded by the movement of this
pin-pont of light on the scale
Then comes the interesting test. The gas is re-
leased from the tube, which is weighed again. 1t
is now found to weigh a two hundred and fifty
thousandth Of a milgramme, or a seven thou
sand millionth of an ounce, less than It did when
the gas was In It. Therefore. the weight of this
whif of gas was a seven thousand millionth Of an
ounce.

Many Sections of This State.

Kansas City, Mo.-Rains which
have fallen in Southwest Missouri,
Southeastern Kansas and Northern
Oklahoma since Wednesday morning
have done damage estimated at more
than one million dollars in those dis
tricts. Reports from Galena, Kan,
say that the damage done to mining
plants in that district and the Joplin
district, where hundreds of lead ard
zinc mines are flooded, is nearly
three-quarters of million dollars.
At Lowell, near Galena, an electric
company dynamited its 90-foot power
dam which cost nearly half million
dollars, in order to save the costly
machinery of its plant from ruin by
water. At that point Spring river
was flowing easily over the top of the
dam, and land above it was under
water.
The Solomon river, which was sent
out of its banks by the downpour OF
Wednesday and Thursday, is falling
On the North Fork the water is five
feet higher than it has ever before
reached.
At Glen Elder, Kan, on larger
branch, the water still is rising and it
is belieevd it will go over the bridges
in that neighborhood.
From some places on the river west
of Kirwin and Osborne no word has
been received as the telephone and
telegraph wires are down. Near Por-
tis an engine which fell into wash
out is under seven feet of water. Con-
struction trains have been sent to the
flooded districts but will be unable to
repair tracks until the water sub
sides.
A terrific wind and electrical storm
broke over Oklahoma City about 5
o'clock Friday morning. Five or six
dwelling houses in process of erec.
ton were blown down, many others
were unroofed and many barns and
small frame buildings were wrecked
The wind attained velocity of 60
miles an hour and continued blowing
at that rate for ten minutes. Wire

wrecked, but his horses and buggy in
side were not harmed.
All streams in the vicinity of Tulsa,
Okla, are out of their banks and
rain today caused rise Of eight feet
in the Arkansas river, which only a
few days ago was four feet higher
than at any previous time this year.
The last raise brings the river to the
highest point reached in the last two
years.
In many sections Of Kansas the
flooded streams have drowned stock

railroad track and many bridges away.
In nearly all of the flooded sections
the rains have ceased.

Sir William Ramsay, the distinguished English
scientist has invented pair Of scales delicate
enough literally, to weigh thought. Their rec
ord so far is one seven-millionth of an ounce,
which is considerably lighter than most thoughts
usually are. The scales are kept under Sir VIII
liams own laboratory in small subterranean
chamber.
The room is kept in semidarkness. So deli
cate are these wonderful scales that their bal
ance is disturbed by the alteration of temperature
caused by the turning on of an electric light at
the other end of the room. The operator has to
leave them for an hour in darkness-after he has
tiptoed from the roof, that his football should
not set up any vibration-and then read them
swiftly, before any change in the temperature has
had time to affect them

Topeka, Kan.-Madstone are under

Dawson ordered the county attorney OF

grinding songs and the songs of inspiration and
encouragement intended to be sung to the war
riors setting out for battle.
1t is usually difficult for a listener of another
race to catch an Indian song owing to the con-
ficting noise due in a great part to the beating
Of the drums. There is usually difference IN
time, the drum beats being designed to govern
bodily movements and mark the steps OF the
ceremonial dancers whereas the song voices the
emotion of the appeal. The drums may be beaten
in "a time and the song be in 3-4 time or the
beat be in 5-8 time against melody in 3-4 time,
or the entire song may be sung to rapid tremolo
beating of the drum. The officials who have been
making a study of Indian music are enthusiastic
over its possibilities. They declare that not only
does the field afford rich opportunities for the
study of the growth Of musical form, but the
Indian songs themselves offer to the present-day
composer a wealth of melodic and rhythmic move
ments constituting a source Of inspir alton equal
to that which has been supplied by the folk songs
of Europe and vastly more serviceable in the
development of a distinctive American School
of music

MORNING GREETINGS.

Don't forget to say good morning"
Husbands, when you leave your door,
For the duties Of the Office,
Or the labors Of the store;
Press kiss upon the fond lips
OF the wife that you leave behind;
Lighter far will seem the days work,
As you call it to your mind.
Don't forget to say good morning"
To the children, parents all,
When you meet their loving g1ances
AT the early morning call;
Say it tenderly and fondly,
Say ii over with smile;
1t will please them as they scatter,
And may keep their hearts from guile
There is charm that seems to follow
Every greeting word we say;
Our good nights, and our good morn
ings."
Chase unkindly thoughts away,
They give rest to weary watchers,
To the weak impart new power,
While the good within the greeting
Seems to fall on every hour.

Having decided that hen is not bird
and that an egg is always an egg, the
customs authorities are now wrestling
with new question. When is book
not book? should books pay duty as
binding, paper, printed matter or just
books? The Customs Court will be
called upon to decide if the principal val
ue of a set of Dickens is in its covers, or
if the leather binding on the works of
Shakespeare is worth more than the plays
inside.

ideas and no sentiment recently appraised
the value of set of the works of Shakes
peare thus: Leather binding, first; paper
second; works. OF the bard, last.
