Dime Bank For Flood Sufferers

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, April 4.-Prof' Geo. B. Cook, of the Department of Education, is the original first aid to the flood sufferer III Little Rock. He has purchased a small bank which will holo $500 in dimes, and every friend he meets is requested to put III his mite to aid the suffering peo- ple of the Ohio valley. Prof. Cook empties the bank as soon as it is filled, turning the pro ceeds into the fund which IS daily forwarded to the governor of Ohio.
 State Auditor Oathout, who has charge of the funds raised in Arkansas, received but one contribution Thursday. It was 25 cents, wrapped in a piece of paper, the contribution of a widow, and knowing her cir cumstances, Auditor Oathout considers it greater than that given by concerns which have donated many times the amount.

SUN At ITS GREATEST
DISTANCE FROM EARTH
Old Sol Now 100000 Miles
Farther Away Than 1t Was
Last January.

According to the astronomical prin-
ciples of ''solarparalax. which means the
apparent position of "A heavenly BODY
and its true place in space. yesterday,
July ;, the earth reached it's greatest
distance from the sun. revolving 32W,-
than at the time of its nearest approach
six months ago, about the first of jan

While the direct rays of the summers
sun is so suggestive of its proximity to
the surface of the earth, yet in the
physics of the heavens and in accord
ance with the position of our abode in
space the earth has the direct rays of
the summers distant sun and the oblique
rays of the winters nearer sun.
In the survey of the mechanics of the
heavens there is much to impress and
much which is calculated to awaken
conceptions to the stupendOus scale on
which the heavens are constructed and
all embraced in what astronomers regard
the noblest problem in astronomy the
solarparallaX. The quantities dealt
with are so minute that their sure

science For the past centuries. taking
the semi diameter of the earth's orbit
as the standard measure for the universe.

Calico to the present time have been

Gold and Prices.
he North American Review.

From the North American Review.
If there be any truth in the contention
that the increase of gold supply has been
a patent cause in moving prices upward
why has not the interest rate on gold de-
clined? This should be the logical and
natural consequence unless some other
causes have supervened That the inter-
est rate has advanced during recent years
no one will dispute. The English and con-
tinental financial publications especially
are constantly discussing the problem.
The enlarged demand comes from two
well defined sources: the need of the mer-
chant for more capital in consequence of
the higher prices he must pay for his
merchandise besides the additional cap
ital needed for business extension: the
other enlarged demand comes from the
railroads and other great enterprises for
the extension of their business. These two
facts the enlarged demand for capital
and the highest interest rate, cannot be
reconciled with the present high prices
for commodities. We must, therefore ac-
count for their advance in some other
way than the enlarged gold supply. If
gold is so abundant as to send the prices
of commodities upward, surely it should
send the interest rate downward. The
new gold supply cannot act on prices for
commodities and rates for the use of
money in directly opposite ways sending
the price of the one up and the other
down 1t is true the assertion has been
daringly mentioned that the interest rate
has been advanced to cover gold deprecia-
ton This is a purely imaginary asser-
ton. contradicted by the entire world of
finance and business. 1t is hopeless to at
tempt to enlig'hten any one who will thus
disregard plain fact. For. if any fact has
been established in recent times 1t is the
fact that lenders of money have ad-
vanced rates, not to cover past present
or future depreciation of gold, but be-
cause the demand for money. credit or
capital for the reasons above explained,
has vastly increased.

The Passing Of Historic Trees.

From the Chicago Post
1t is too bad that nature will not allow
trees or some trees, at any rate, to live
forever. In many places in this country,
I'm the east particularly, the guides OF
the local historians once began then
holding tales with Under that tree.
The famous colonial and revolutionary
day trees are gone or are going. Some
of the present day events which are
likely to have patriotic or other senti-
mental interest for posterity might be
staged purposely under thrifty trees OF
long-lived species.
The charter oak is gone. the old elm
of Boston Common is gone and the elm at
Cambridge under whose shade Wash
ington took command of the continental
army is almost gone. The trees which
Alexander Hamilton planted, one FOR
each of the thirteen original states, have
either died of old age or have succumbed
to the encroachment of civilization
which takes little heed of sentiment or
OF natural beauty. Now 1t is reported
that the treaty tree at the base Of
which the whites signed compact
(which unquestonaby they broke) with
the Wequadequeek Indians is dying and
cannot survive the summer. 1t was under
this tree at Sleepy Hollow that Wash
ington Irving wrote of 1chabod Crane
and the Headless Horseman
The old cottonwood at 18th street
and the lake in this city died some
years ago. A part of it is preserved
in the building of the Chicago Historical
Society, but a bit of dead timber is as
nothing to the living tree. The sequoias
of California come pretty close to living
forever. They certainly live long enough
to satisfy for ages mankind's sentiment
concerning deeds done in their shadow
It is pity that the ancient eastern and
middle western elms, cottonwoods and
oaks We're not all sequoias Trees ought
to be spared for their own sakes. but
when they mark the scenes of stirring
national events they ought to be tended
with double care and solicitude.

Early Astronomers Failed.

Astronomers of the eighth century
hoped to settle the question of the sun S
distance. having the occurrence of the
transit of Venus and the repeated APP
position of Mars every fifteen years as
the basis to solve this problem. and
thereby come to some permanent set
Element of the statistics OF our solar sys-
tenn, but they faied-so many We're the
conflicting conclusions of all the va
rious quantities which the suns parallax
depends From 1s22. when the great
German astronomer Encke published his
results which placed the suns distance
from us at 35,25o.u0 miles there seems
to have been universal acquiescence
which lasted for thirty years. when
Hansen, in 1854. supported by Leverrier,
in 1858. found an apparent monthly os-
citation of diminution of 100000 miles.
After years of exhaustive observation
through all the phenomena upon which
the suns parallaX depends. and rnathe-
NAUTICAL rules Of probability by the great
astronomers of the known world it is
an honor to the progress of American
astronomer and pleasing to the theoreti-
cal student of astronomy to recall that
on the question of solarparallax and
light transmission three of the leading
American astronomers, Profs. Newcomb,
Hall and Hardness. arrived at practically
the same value of Solarparallax OF ssh"

incased in the creation she discovered
that she was able to hop. but not
walk and refused to pay the creator
of the harness.
Suit was brought. 1t dragged on for
months and resulted in a verdict fav-
oring the tailor. The case was review
ed in higher tribunal and the ruling
reversed. then the higher court decided
that the woman shall divide costs with
the maker of the skirt. She is to pay
for the hobble. while the tailor is to
defray the legal expenses. but the ju
rists do not venture to pass on wheth-
the hobble affair can be classed as
a skirt or harness.

Reasons for Changing Name.

One of the additional reasons for the
change of name from the Coast to Coast
Rock Highway Association to The Lin
coin Highway Association was the fact
that in different sections of the country
there have been various coast to coast
highways planned. some of which have
only stretched across townships. while
others have become almost county or
state affairs. 1t is hoped that these or
CARNATIONS will cooperate and help in
the development of the Lincoln Highway
Association so that all may eventually
be organized into a concrete and efficient
whole. Wherever it is at all possible the
roads that have been properly built will
be made a part of the Lincoln highway.
Some persons are bound to confuse the
Lincoln Highway Association with the
Lincoln memorial road planned some
years ago to connect the capital at Wash
ington with the Gettysburg battlefield
seventy-two miles away. That plan was
a abandoned last spring. This Washington
city memorial to Lincoln is to take the
form of magnificent building. where the
Lincoln furniture. pictures. records. man.
uscripts and all other forms of Lincoln
tonia will be suitably housed and pre-
served. There is now only one the Lin
coin Highway Association. and this will
