to such minor stocks as are easily bid

seen that the market had followed the
forenoon movement only half hearted

Surely the science of chemistry
has made long strides since the days
of Paracelsus, when men can analyze
elements at a distance of ninety-five
millions Of miles and undertake to
pronounce upon the characteristics OF
a form of matter which so far has not
been encountered on earth, but has
been discovered to exist in the sun.
Prof. J. N. Nicholson of the British
Royal Astronomical society, says there
is reason to believe the spectrum is
now revealing in the corona of the
sun a more elementary form of mat.
ter than any yet discovered on the
earth. It is proposed to call this ele.
mentary substance "nebulium." Pro.
fessor Nicholson says the spectrum
of the far-distant nebulae in the
depths of space indicates that they
are composed Of this same "nebulium,"
which is coming to light I'm the solar
radiations. ''Nebulium' is considered
as being lighter gas than hydrogen.

Lnspects Timber Lands.

o. L. Sponsler, Madison, member
of the state board of forestry, is ma
king trip through the state, inspect
ing the timber resources. Mr.. Spons-
Ter spent ten days in Sank county,
and says that half century ago
there was not much timber on the
bluffs about Baraboo. When the Sacs
and Foxes resided at Prairie du Sac
they would set fire to the bluffs some
where in the vicinity of LELAND and
the flames would spread to the east
ward as far as Durward's glen or
more. This great tract was burned
over year after year, and when the
early settlers came they found the
bluffs comparatively bare. In the
early days the land was pastured, but
as the fences appeared this could not
be done as there is but little water.
This gave the tree plants chance to
grow, and the result is fine tract OF
timber of a half century or more.

An instance Of the composition OF
the death lists from heat was afforded
in a report from Chicago concerning
the mortality. Some specifications
we're given concerning ten deaths. OF
those three were drowned, two had
necks broken from falls, one man cut
his throat, another fell from build
ing, an infant, four days old, died
without medical attention and two
dropped dead, both being inside of
buildings when the fatal stroke came.
This way of manufacturing heat NOR
tally lists would be humorous IL it
were not so likely to be injurious.
