Leaders had planned to adjourn the
session until 2 o'clock today. and To
have the committees which were an

tion committees was ali the conyen-

middle aisle through the groups Of
delegates.
The soft rain that fell at intervals
all day set in again toward nightfalI,

FIRST PICTURE POST CARDS

In Nuremberg, Germany, they have
been making arrangements to cele-
brate the thirtieth anniversary of the
picture post card with a congress and
exposition. Unfortunately for their
plans, however, it has been discover
ed that the first picture post card was
not made in Germany or sent from
Nuremberg. nor was it born in 1882,
as they had supposed The distinction
of making and mailing the first is now
claimed by Leon Besnardeau, book
seller of Sille-le-Guillaume, near Con-
lie, department of Sarthe, France. In
1870, during the war with Prussia. he
printed pictures on postal cards he
was sending to clients. M. Besnar-
deau is still alive, and there are many
of his old customers in France who
have the cards he posted them. The
Germans adopted the idea for the
Nuremberg exposition in 1882.

American naturalist has succeeded in

or other green stuff is held out in

WELL THAT IS BoTToMLEss

One of the most curious and most
interesting natural wonders to be
found in Arizona is Montezuma we'll.
This strange lake ia located about the
center of the state in somewhat
isolated community. All about 1t are
great quantities of malapai rocks. for
this is most decidedly volcanic COM
munty. The well itself is some 200
yards across, and as far as it has ever
been possible to determine it is bot
tomless. The water in the well is abb
solutely clear and pure. 1t maintains
"a certain level all the time, which is
unaffected by the dryness or wetness
of the season. The walls that rise
precipitously above these clear wa
tiers and reflect themselves in them
were at one time the homes of pop
ulous community. For this is the very
center of what was once the cliff
dwellers' stronghold in Arizona.

LIGHTNING IN THE TROPICS

Thunderstorms never occur In the
Arctic regions. Nearer the equator
the more severe the electric nantes
tations. In certain parts of Central
Africa the average run of thunder
storms is $50 days year, yet there
are some very curious exceptions. In
Sumatra and Java, both very hot ell
mates, there are only 90 storms year
ly, and in Borneo only about so. The
gold coast of Africa has only about
90 year, which is less than occur
in Florida, though the latter country
is outside the tropics.
In Java there is a thunderstorm ev-
cry day for five months. Perhaps the
most astonishing fact In regard to
thunderstorms is that the island of
Mauritius, which is only $50 miles
east of Madagascar, has ON an aver
age only one thunderstorm in so
years.
Yet in Madagascar the lightning Ia
more destructive than anywhere else
in the world, the annual number of
deaths being more than 300.

HUMAN PUMP OF THE DESERT

In the desert of Kalahari, in Africa,
is seen the human pump. Though
there is no water found on the surface
in this arid region, there are places
where veins are struck several feet
underground. A bamboo tube is run
down to the water supply and when
any one comes for water the we'll ten
der, who is usually woman, puts her
mouth over the bamboo and by Wig
orous intake of breath sucks up a
quantity of water. This she then dex-
trously squirts from her mouth into
the shell of an ostrich egg. These
shells when furnished with corks of
pith make very good water bottles and
they will stand considerable rough
handling.

HOLDS PLANE STILL IN AIR

The Tagliche Rundschau of Berlin
says 1t learns that a German engineer
has made a remarkable invention, per.
hitting an aeroplane to remain sta.
tionary in the air at given point for
an indefinite period. The form OF
aeroplane for which this amazing ac.
complishment is claimed Is said to
differ radically from any heavier than
air machine hitherto constructed.
The military authorities are said to
be enthusiastic over the new inven.
ton. as It opens up incalculable pos
sibilities in observation and the
dropping of explosives.

CHANGING THE CATS FUR

A remarkable transformation of a
cats fur by temperature has been re-
ported. A black cat was accidentally
shut in the refrigerating chamber of a
mail steamer in Sydney harbor, Au-
stralia, and was not discovered until
about 80 days later. when the ship
was off Alden. The cat was scarcely
recognizable, the fur having become
long and thick, changing to white on
the back. Brought out in the intense
heat of the Red sea, the heavy white
coat rapidly fell out and the normal
coat was restored.

THE COST OF LIVING.
Mllwnukee News.

Milwaukee News.
President Taft's investigation into
the living cost in Europe made
through United States consuls- shows
just what has been reported before.
In almost every country prices have
advanced markedly during the past ten
years, in some places and on some
commodities much more than in this
country.
But as to cause for this almost
world wide advance in the cost of liv-
ing and remedies the report is silent.
1t is to be noticed that the period
of marked price advance is coineident
with two things the formation of
commercial combinations and dealers
associations, and the money spending
competition for war preparation pur-
poses. 1t is also to be noticed that
the talk Of shortages in the production
of food supplies even while bumper
crops were being reported has come
with increasing steadiness since com
binations, trusts and associations of
manufacturers, jobbers or retailers
have taken place. Since those organ
izations came iato being, there has
been much open talk by their officials
of cutting down production. And price
advances have followed.
AS has been said before, this gives
reason to believe that production has
purposely been curtailed to force prices
upward.
1t is also to be noticed that this
price advance is coincident with the
increase in taxation the world over,
and that the increase came with the
frenzied race in warships and big gun
building,
Some Of these results may suggest
remedies.
