PARTICLES IN A DROP OF WATER.

Figures are sometimes impressive
simply by reason of being SO stupen-
dous that the human mind grasps
them with difficulty. An instance in
point is afforded by the illustration
offered to his hearers by an eminent
scientists, who, in order to bring to
their comprehension the idea of ulti-
mate particles of water, stated that
if he was to empty a tumbler con-
tanning half a pint of water, letting
out each second a number equal to
1000 times the population Of the
earth, it would require somewhere
between seven million and ~forty-six
million years to empty the tumbler.
Lord Kelvin once assured US that
if a drop Of water was magnifed to
the size of the earth the particles
would be between the size Of base
balls and footballs. If that state
ment is correct the drops Of water in
all the ocean are not many times 50
numerous as the particles or mole
cules in a single drop.

obtained from watering by hand

past summer, with its ~long-contin-

cessful cultivation of these gourds
in England, providing they were
well watered at frequent intervals.
Seeds sown here on a slight hotbed
and the plants allowed to grow till
they have filed a frame which could
be lifted off about mid-June, would
probably give the most satisfactory
results. If grown throughout the

A NEW WAY TO
BOOST BUSINESS
McGinity Bros. of Neosho Set
New Market in Progressive
Trade Getting Methods.


Compound interest bearing
premiums to encourage trade may.
be a new thing in the business
world but that is what McGinty
Bros, Clothing Co, of Neosho,
have arranged to offer in con-
nection with their summer and
fall trade. They believe that
it is better to give a premium
which like a perpetual first
mortgage backed by gilt edge
security, will yield its owner a
constant income throughout his
life rather than one which may
be lost and forgotten in a few
weeks. So instead of offering
premiums that may be eaten or
worn out or slowed away in a
dusty collection OF curloS, TINS
enterprising business firm has
arranged to give Four Hundred
and Eighty Dollars in cash
scholarships to send three young
women to the Short Courses in
Agriculture and Home Economics
at the Agricultural College, Co
lumbia, Mo.
Such premiums are worth
while. They cannot be used
up or lost. They are compound
interest bearing because the in.
come from them is just as GER
tain as that from any interest
bearing bond ever issued, What
a powerful awakening in favor o.
education in Agriculture anc
Domestic Economy there would
be if a hundred business houses
of Missouri with equal enterprise
and equal loyalty to the cause o.
Agriculture, should follow the
example of the Neosho firm ant
institute similar contests in {
hundred different communities.

ture, Columbia, Mo.

FINDS VALUABLE
SILICA DEPOSIT

The Pacific Coast Silica COM
pany has been organized by James
r. Clark in order to- protect his
rights to a deposit of silica that he
found near Shoshone station of the
Tidewater railroad. about 1875
miles south of Goldfeld, and for
the further purpose Of placing the
commodity on the market.
More than three years ago Clark
dicovered this deposit, and since
then he has been testing it, intro
ducing it to consumers, and wo *
ing with the railroads for a freight
rate that would permit of shipping
1t with profit. In doing this he
gave to tile United States Chemical
com pany Of Los Angeles two car
loads of the silica free for testing.
1t is alleged that the company or
some one induced by it has sought
to jump the location of the silica
deposit and wrest. it from Clark. =
Carloads Of tbes commodity
which he sent to Los Angeles have
Daily independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 188?-1915, 1912-04-06

been attached. ard he in turn has
secured an injunction against the
U. S. Chemical company. j..
Hysenmayer Of Pasadena and
Alexander Yeoman have Joined
with Clark in the formation and
financing of company that will
protect the interests, and furnish
automobile truck and machinery
for handling the sand.
Ehis silica sand is an aqueous
deposit of silica or pur. quartz
and because of its manner of
deposition it is rure and an almost
impa lpahle powder which con-
ditions make superior and more
valuable than any other silica sand.
1t is superior for all concrete
construction and for the making
of coarse and fine thing there is
nothing to equal it. The investi-
cations conducted by Clark have
shown that it is a superior raw
material for the manufacture of
glass. The Quartz Glass Manu-
featuring company of Los Angeles
wants 200 tons per week as a
starter. Its consumption in tile
and concrete contraction will be
only limited by its cost on delivery.
Hence the value of the deposit
has become apparent and the con-
test for its possession follows.
At another point, Id miles from
Zahriskie, Clark has discovered a
large deposit of sapunaceous clay.
This he has also introduced ard
found market for. A company
has been organized to handle this
property. The uses for this clay
are numerous. The large paper
mill at Everett, Washington, is
taking $50 tons weekly to use in
the manufacture of fine papers.
Soon that arid desert country,
practically the margin of Death
Valley. will supply The world with
two other natural products to add
to the borax production which has
bern maintained for a generation.

IF CONGRESS COUNTS

A few days ago the Standard
made casual reference .to the fact
shat with Colonel Roosevelt in the
contest as an independent candi-
date the election count may be
thrown into congress. Here is q
letter from correspondent who
wants to know what the probable
result in the event would be. That
is a poser. The result? Chaos
as likely as not. There is no
guessing what the outcome would
be were the settlement of the
count to pass to congress. The
Lord alone knows; and he never
tells before hand.
The federal organization includes
an Anticipated contraption known
as the electoral college Es-
sentially, We elect president by
states. The candidate who gets a
majority in the popular vote does
not, by that token, become the
winner. In 1888, Benjamin Har-
rison was the successful candidate
for the presidency. There were
five aspirants. Harrison received
5,440,216 votes; Grover Cleveland
received 1888 23G. Thus Cleve-
land polled 98,017 more votes than
Harrison, but Harrison scored
majorities in states that counted;
in the electoral college Harrison
had 233 votes and Cleveland 168
Four years later Cleveland had
380,810 more votes than Har-
risop, while in the electoral COL
lege Cleveland had PIT votes and
Harrison Ids.
The story of the proceedings in
the convention which framed our
constitution, wherein the presi-
Dental vote is concerned, is in
teresting. In truth, the fathers
seemedt to feel that it would be
we'll to reach conclusions by indi-
rection with respect to the presi-
dency. Then, too, there was
regard for the relative preroga-
tive Of states as states. Of course,
the theory was that the electors,
chosen by states, would meet,
take up the election of a president
as new business consider the
relative merits Of rival candidates
and decide, as in original propos-
tien, and without reference to
party preference declared at the
polls.
So far was this theory carried
that in our early elections, until,
the constitution was amended, the
business Of the men in the electoral
college was to declare the man
having the highest vote elected
president and the man having the
next highest vote vice president.
Were that process still ,he law. at
the election held four years ago,
Mr.. Taft would have become presi-
dent and Mr.. Bryan, second in the
running, vice president. Under the
present arrangement the elector
is merely dummy; that is to say
he has no function except to vote
in accordance with the majority
recorded at the polls in bis state.
Washington, for his first trem, was
elected in 1889. Prior to 1904
the constitution meanwhile having
been amended, the people voted for
presdiet but not for vice president.
As for the electo r, they hold no
joint session. They meet in their
several states, vote, canvass the
vote, certify thereto and send re-
turns to Washington under rules
