mans learning to those benigbted people
of the far north who spend half a year
in darkness, and never see the sun until

six months of darkness in a snowbound

did much to while away the long night.
They welcomed the teacher, and immedi-

the white mans book learning.
The only trouble in the world was that
these American teachers insisted upon
comparative degree o. cleanliness. This
cleanliness was a brand-new idea in the
arctic. Nobody had ever heard of it be-
fore There is no word in the Eskimo
language which means bath or wash or
any of those terms which apply to the
use of water in the business OF keeping
clean. The American teacher usually had

scrubbing in his lifetime. Then she would
set her pupils upon the capture of new
victims, and allow them the JOY o. a soap

of the twenty-four hours the village is
in the shadow.
Prof. l.. w. Stratton and his super
scientific assistants at the bureau of
standards have produced such extremity
of cold as to make piece of ice in com
parison seem like red-hot furnace They
have made it so cold that the difference
in temperature between ice and the con-
dition which they produce is four times
as great as the difference between boil
ing water and ice. Beside their labora-
tory winter in the far north would be
like life under equatorial palm trees.
According to the theories of these SCI
entists there is a point of minus 273 de-
grees centigrade or 400 degrees Fahren-
heit where heat absolutely ceases to ex-
list. This they call the absolute zero.
They have been trying to produce that
condition in the laboratory.
First the scientists took air and put it
under a very excessive pressure to see
what would happen. They noted that as
it was compressed it gave off heat They
kept pressing it and 1t kept getting colder
until it registered 1913 degrees centigrade
below zero. Then it turned to liquid
When this liquid air was poured into the
sink 1T acted as does water when poured

and disappeared. Liquid air boils at 1913
below just as water boils at 100 above.

is residue of pure liquid oxygen. This

it as it would butter. This use of oxygen
is of great assistance to burglars at
tempting to gain entrance into steel
vaults and is even used in legitimate in
dustres.
But the best April fool joke of it was
when the scientists made these gases
freeze themselves. The heat was press
ed out of air and when that air was
leased from the pressure it Immediately
took up all the heat about it. So COM
pressed air was turned on other air in
captivity and thus that captive air was
frozen. In this way temperature of
1913 below was reached. The same thing
Gas tried with hydrogen, which reduced
itself to 244 before turning into a liquid.
Finally another gas was found which was
forced to reduce it's own temperature to
within 4 degrees of that point where
there is no heat before it turned to a
liquid. Now the scientists are hunting
for a gas which viii not turn itself to a

scientific research is found.
The federal bureau of education has
played a huge April fool joke upon the
Eskimo. 1t has captured him in consider
able numbers and washed him. Never be-
fore in the history of the world were any
considerable numbers of Eskimos ever
washed. It Is violation of all precedent
and a huge surprise on Dame Nature as
she deports herself in the arctics.

been cut a wide and barren desert.
Nature had never intended that anything
but sagebrush should grow on this desert.
But Uncle Sam saw an opportunity to
make it blossom as the rose. and this OPP
portunity lay through running a tunnel
six miles under mountain, tapping the
Gunnison river and bringing its waters
thus upon the unproductive desert. This
was six years ago. Today the tunnel is
completed, and the desert is being irri-
gated, but in the process these waters
were changed from one side of the great

When scientific gardeners first got hold
of the idea Of developing flowers into new
degrees of beauty they found this daisy
growing wild in the fields of China, for
this flower development had it's origin in
the orient. Those Chinese gardeners who
first started the daisy on its career of eX-
pansion began by selecting certain daisies
that had certain qualities, as, for exam
pie more petals than the others of their
kind. Two daisies with the greatest pos
sible number of petals would be selected
and cross-fertilized. The daisies result
ing from this cross might have even more
petals that the parents. The especially
prolific specimens would be again cross
fertilized with each other, and the size
of the flower thus increased generation

at present there are grown In the hot

chrysanthemums that are eight inches

BY the same method widely different
varieties have been developed Among
yellow chrysanthemums there might be
found an occasional flower that had more
or less black in it. Two of these would
be cross-fertilized and In the mex,

and so on until pure black chrysanthe-

NUNS of all varieties been produced

The best part of this April fool joke
played in Dame Natures flower garden
is the final refinement in chrysanthemum
growing, an important part of which is
feeding the flower with a spoon. In
Uncle Sans gardens special efforts have
been made to develop phenomenally large
sized flowers. To accomplish this plant

develop twenty blossoms. In order that
all it's power may be concentrated in
one flower all the other buds are pinched
off as they appear and the whole nourish-
ment of the plant goes into the one re-
manning flower. The plant is kept under
ideal conditions. Its growers know ex-
actly what is the plant food that will
cause it to produce best. They know

junior Of Judson Harmon by nearly four
years.
But to those whose fear of a dark
horse may have become morbid, 1t may
be said, by way of consolation, that such
steeds but seldom win nomination. Only
five have done so thus far In our political
history, and only three of these have
been elected.
The first Of these made his successful
dash as long ago as 1874. The demo-
cratic convention Of that year opened
with Martin Van Buren, as the first favor
lite. Little VAN had been Andrew Jack
sons successful running mate in 1882,
and after being carried along for the
next four years as fifth wheel Of the
"Old Hickory" stage coach, had succeeded
to tho presidency in 1886, but had been
defeated, although renominated for the
highest office, in 1870 He was still the
most conspicuous pre-convention candidate
looked upon still as the active head of
the party, for the aged Jackson had re-
tired from the f1eld-and there was no
string to his promise not to run again.
When the convention opened Van Buren,
had three avowed rvals-Lewis Cass, ex-
Vice President Dick Johnson and James
Buchanan. The first ballot showed that
Van Buren, had received a majority, but
as the tWO-tnlFOS rule prevailed then, as
today, more ballots had to be taken. But
a combine of southern delegates, dissatis-
fed with Van Buren's slavery views, sue
ceeded in obtaining the balance of power,
and after a long and bitter contest the
New Hampshire delegation surprised the
convention by letting loose a dark horse
who had not been mentioned before, or
seriously thought OF in connection with
the presidency.
This was James X. Polk of Tennessee
He led with A votes to 104 now for Van
Buren, and ia for Cass. And in those
days ITS ballots, instead Of 100, as now,
represented the two-thirds necessary for
choice. Then amid great excitement the
names of Van Buren, and Cass were with
drawn and the convention was swept for
Polk in the first stampede which ever
took place in national nominating body.
But Polk was a man of presidential tim

pre-cOnvention days. He had been mem

breeding dark horses" is a dangerous
experiment. The good candidates pro-
duced by such husbandry have resulted
more from good luck than good man
agement. There is too much mob en-
thusiasm in the process for the good OF
the party's or the nations health. The
fact that most of our vice presidential
candidates have been chosen by this hyp-
motto method accounts for the fact that
very many of them have been weak
men, whose succession to the highest
office would have proved a national
calamity.
