EinIand,s Rarometric Stone.

1t is said that there is to be found
in Finland. kind of stone that ac-
tually foretells changes in the wealth
er. In dry, fine weather the stone
shows a dark gray color notified with
white spots, but before approaching
showers or thick mists it blackens all
over-most conspicuously, of course,
at the spaces which were previously
white-and gradually returns to its
former state as the weather improves.
It's prophetic warnings are regarded
by many Finlanders as having su-
pernatural origin. but a recent analy-
sis Of the stone explains the cause
and shows that there is nothing what
soever mysterious in its action. It
is composed Of a ground mass of cley
and fossilized organic matter, with a
little rock salt and nitre scattered
throughout in grains and small
patches. These salts absorb the ae'
rial moisture as it increases in amount
and dissolves in it, forming their
white color as the drier atmosphere
evaporates the moisture from black
surface films, while they regain them.

POLITICIAN USES THE MOVIES
Himself on the Screen in Effec-
tive Poses.

A French politician who seeks cleo
ton to the council Of one of the de-
partments has adopted a time and
labor saving scheme to urge his
claims on his constituents. Perhaps
the Chinese praying machine inspired
him.
Instead of harranguing the voters at
election meetings he invites them to
a cinematograph theater; there to the
popular music one or two picture
comedies are shown.
Then the candidate appears on the
screen. He is seen addressing a meet.
ing, shaking hands with the project,
and entering his motor car. Another
reel of films shows ham helping an old
woman to load her donkey with bum
die of wood, Indignantly refusing a
bride, and paying visit to an old
man stretched on a bed Of illness.
In the last and most effective pic
ture of the series the sympathetic
candidate proves his heart is in the
right place by discreetly slipping a
banknote into the sick mans hand
before bidding him au revoir.

NOT THE SHOCK EXPECTED
Seemingly, Debutante Would Have.
Been Willing If 1t Had Been
Otherwise.

After the Spanish melon. while
awaiting the cold consomme, a young
Japanese diplomat took the fan from
the white hand Of a debutante, and
opened it-from the right to left del
icately.
you noticed how / opened it?" he
said. From right to left?"
YES" she returned indifferently.
But everybody opens fans from right
to left"
And do you know why? No? Then
I'll tell youth warn you--so that you
yourself may never, by any chance,
open fan from left to right"
He slipped his amber-colored chablis
and resumed:
Fans originated In Japan, and from
time ffnmemorial the Japanese fam
makers, whose morality is not like
western morality, have constructed
fans in such manner that, opened
from right to left, they reveal inno-
cent and lovely things-flowers and
temples and tea gardens-while, open
ed from left to right, they reveal
scenes of an indecency and obscenity
passing belief.
"Of course, all Japanese fans are
not of double entendre such as this,
but many are, and hence Japan has
taught the world to open its fans in
only one way-the safe way
The young lady opened her fan, very
cautiously, the unsafe way. Then she
said:
"Pshaw, my fan is all right"
And then gave little disappointed
e1rug of her white shoulders.-C

and if there is a McGovern slate all
along the line as is now proposed it
is more than probable Mr. Mahon will
be the McGoyern slate candidate for
attorney general.
# the McGovern people bring out a
candidate for attorney general they
viii also have candidate for the re-
publican nomination of state treasurer
and secretary of state, although who
the candidates will be it is impossible
to say. When the talk Of a MeGoyern
slate first came up some weeks ago
the McGovern people had their eyes
on a Northern Wisconsin banker for
the nomination of state treasurer, but
it is said that under no circumstances
will he make the run.
The fact that State Treasurer Henry
Johnson and Gov. McGovern were COM
panions on a hunting trip some weeks
ago has led some people to believe that
in event Of a MeGovern slate, opposi-
ton to Mr., johnson might be omitted
and only candidates for attorney gen.
eral and secretary of state brought out.
This will not be the program however,
and if there are McGovern candidates
for any Of the minor nominations there
will be candidates for all of them.
That is certain.

HAS CURE FOR sEAsIcKNESs
German Doctor Says He Is Able to
Combat and Overcome Die
trsssing Malady.

The cause and the cure for seasick-
ness have been discovered by Doctor.
Fischer of Bad Nauheim, according to
3 report made by the doctor. says the
Munich Medical Weekly.
He announces that it is the pneu.
mogastric nerve which makes trouble
for those who go down to the sea in
ships. By artificially tickling this
nerve he has produced seasickness in
patients on solid land and by giving
1t an opiate in the shape of an Infinite
ly small injection Of atropin he has
lulled it to sleep during an entire
transatlantic crossing, giving com.
plete relief to the worst sufferers In
the stormiest weather. In the course
of a series of experiments Doctor
Fischer injected drugs which acted as
an irritant to the pneumogastric
nerve, and found that there resulted
symptoms precisely similar to those
OF seasickness, including nausea, vom-
iting, headache, etc.
Shortly thereafter the physician
made trip to America and return.
High winds and rough seas furnished
him plenty of material, and there was
no lack of seasick victims who were
willing to submit to any treatment.
The doctor injected atropin, one MILL
gram in the case of men and three
fourths Of a milligram in the case of
women. In nearly every case there
was rapid disappearance of all
symptoms. Nausea and vomiting dis
appeared within half an hour, and
within three or four hours the last
symptom had vanished. Even the
pulse became regular Renewed and
heavier storms failed to counterfeit
the working Of the drug. In only a
few cases were second injections nee
essary. The drug acted most quickly
on patients whose condition was the
worst Doctor Fischer declares that
atropin, in the small quantities neces-
sary. is quite harmless.

Madison Man Being Boosted
as Democratic Candidate
for u. S. Senator Now.
GETS MUCH SUPPORT HERE

The latest reports from Madison have
it that John A. Awkward will be the
progressive democratic candidate for
United States senator next year. This
would indicate there has been com
plete change Of the lineup on that
side.
The report comes in connection with
another that Paul A. Hemmy, chairman
tee, will very soon be named as coll
lector Of internal revenue for the east
ern district in place of Collector Henry
Fink. It is said that there is string
attached to Mr.. Hemmy's appointment
in the shape Of demand that he prom
Use to support Mr.. Awkward IS candi-
dacy for the senate.
It has been supposed that Joseph E.
Davies would be the candidate on the
Awkward side for United States sena-
tor and the Madison report has caused
no little surprise where it is known.
In explanation of the change it is
stated that President Wilson is much
opposed to Mr.. Davies becoming a sem
atorial candidate, as he wishes him to
push the work Of trust busting which
the young Madisonian has undertaken
in connection with his position as COM
missioner of corporations To have him
break. off with that work just when it
is nicely started does not conform, SO
it is said, to the presidents ideas of
duty. Therefore, Mr.. Davies will have
to give up his senatorial ambitions for
the present.
1t has been given out that Mr. Hem
my appointment as collector of in
ternal revenue was for the purpose of
bringing about more harmony in the
ranks and to still the rising tide of re-
sentiment which has shown on account
of all the good appointments going to
the Wilson men.
Mr.. Kenny is classed as a strong
Karel man. He was elected by Judge
Karel for the head of the state central
committee last year and his appoint
ment as internal revenue collector has
been looked upon as move toward
establishing better relations between
the two wings of the party. If it only
means that he is to have his hands tied
in coming fights or take an active part
in the anti Karel side democrats say
it will not go far towards bringing
about that unity of action which will
be necessary if the democrats are to
have any sort Of chance to win next
year in the state.

Too Innocent for Pa.

The young man who thought he
knew. how to ma@age old men told the
girl whose father he had just inter-
viewed on a matrimonial topic that
he believed everything would be all
right.

he said. HE even went so far as to
borrow $40 from me. Surely, he can't
refuse to let you marry me after
that"
Don't be too sure" she said. you
don't know pa"
The next day he found that he did
not, indeed, know pa.
"You made a mess Of it with that

you are too easy and that / had bet

Novel WAY of Advertising.

The advertising manager of a lead
ing French business firm has evolved
an ingenious plan for evading the pro-
hibitive taxes imposed by the law OF
July IL, 1912, on unsightly billboards
disdguring the countryside. For the
long, ugly advertisement boards flank
ing the railway, which formerly we're
a blot on the garden city Of Paris and
It's suburbs, a Juvisy firm has now
substituted a large bed Of flowers in a
field adjoining the Orleans line, the
design representing yellow COW,
which Is the trademark of the arti-
Gle in which the firm trades. There
by it not only circumvents the law,
but also provides a more effective adj
yertisement than that offered by the
former billboards. The plan has
proved SO satisfactory, that it is ex-
peoted that railways In the neighbor-
hood Of large French towns will be
beautifled by similar floral parterres,
designed to advertise articles Of COM
merce.

Deserved to Rlse High.

Joseph skipsey, a miner and poet OF
Northumberland, learned to read by
committing to memory the appearance
of the big letters on the placards
stuck up on the hoardings by the pit
mouth. AS a trapper boy in the pit
he wrote and ciphered on the trap
door" In the intervals when no wagon
was passing through, and then taught
himself grammar; and without any
education of any kind, by slow degrees
and some keen native instinct, he
found out and became acquainted
with masterpieces of literature. Then
he commenced to write and compose
lyrics, and the day came when the pit
man poet numbered among his friends
Tenyson, Rossetti, Burne-Jones, Will
lam Morris and Lord Morley.
