Louisville Election.

AS was expected the Democratic
ticket in Louisville won out by from
5000 to 5000. the Progressives being
the contending party polling about
10000 votes. The Republican ticket
polled less than 1000. Mr.. Axton, the
Progressive nominee for mayor, says
he will contest the election, claiming
were much greater than at the cleo
tion in 1903. II the Louisville Herald,
organ of the Progressives is to be
believed the election was farce from
beginning to end and should be in
vestisated. Both Democrats and Re
publican leaders claim the election
was fair and honestly conducted.

er them came up fumes--gold In gas
eous state. These rocks brought up
solutions or vapors containing the
gold. No doubt these vapors were
chemically associated when they came
up, possibly with chlorine. The chlor-
ne would cling to the gold; but as
1t has a greater affinity for iron, It
leaves the gold and clings to the
iron, and that deposits the gold free
i'm the rock.
The theory as to the way which
the gold was deposited, which has
the greatest scientific weight, is the
theory of impregnation. The beds
which have been deposited these ages
before were permeated by these fumes
or solutions, and the chlorine having
taken the iron and freed the gold,
left the gold in the rocks as we find
1t to-day"

Preparing For the Stock Show.

Preliminaries of the International
Live Stock Exposition at Chicago.
Nov. 29 to Dec. q. have been conf
pleted. entries are being tabulated
and the groundwork laid for the best
display Of food animals and draft
horses ever congreeated in America
or elsewhere. =. Entries largely out
number those Of previous years and
ae galaxy Of purebred and fat live
stock to be assembled may neve \
meet in the competitive arena again.
CONSTRUCTION gangs are busy in
creasing show facilities, buildings
are being enlarged or altered to
accommodate the expansion Of the
exposition and unsurpassed accommo-
dation will be furnished both exhib-
itors and spectators.
In consequence Of impending short
age Of beef, pork and mutton, pro-
ducers all over the United States
and Canada are devising ways and
means to expand produotio ad on
this account unusual interest Is being
taken in the 1918 exposition. The
imperative lesson OF economy in pro-
duction will be taught forcibly and
effectively, by the men who are now
engaged in adopting their methods
to changing conditions. New feeding
and breeding problems will be pre-
sented in the stage Of at least partial
solution at his gahering.
The 1918 International Live Stock
Exposition at Chicago will be so dis
similar from previous events Of the
same nature that both those seek

.SIxTY.MILE TRACT HAS
HIDDEN MILLIONS IN IT
Marvellous Profits Taken From
The Rand Gold Mines in
Africa.

Thirty-seven million pounds worth
of gold in twelve months. That is
the output Of that particular sixty
mile tract of rocky country in South
Africa known as the Rand, which wa
the scene of terrible strike wanfare
recently; and 1t is calculated that. the
end of the century will not see the
gold mines exhausted. Since gold was
first discovered in the Rand about
thirty years ago, something like $780,
100000 pounds sterling have been ex-
tracted from 20S 200 900 tons of rock
torn from the bowels of the earth.
The working expenses, OF course, are
enormous, and some idea of the labor
involved may be gatherd from the
fact that from the 100000 worth of
gold produced in 1912, 1856, 900 lbs.
was paid in wages. 7,S65, 900 going to
Europeans, of whom 23,41S are en-
ployed at the mines, and 5.6S1 900 lbs.
to colored people. of whom 1884
are employed.
In stores consumed on the mines
and for the working of the mines, in
Guiding coal, 9,753,00O was spent as
well AZ 5,sOO.O0O lbs. in developing
either existing mines or opening up
new ones. This left a balance OF
100000 lbs. to be paid in dividends;
SO that, roughly speaking, out of the
1000, ,000lbs. sterling 29,OOO,O6O lbs.
remained in the country.
These remarkable figures concern
ing the vast industry OF the Rand
gold fields are provided by Sir Lion
ell Phillips, one of the shrewdest and
successful of the giants of the gold
mining industry. and equally interest
ing Is the story which he unfolded
during a lecture recently of how gold
came to be deposited in the Rand,
or Witwatersrand, to give it its prop
er geographical name.
Many years ago Wftwatersrand was
really an inland sea enclosed by
mountains which were gradually
torn down by, the action Of the water,
and rocks deposited to a depth Of
over four and half miles. After
this volcanic upheaval took place,
dispensing the sea and breaking up
the country into fragments.
"At the time this upheaval took
place." said Sir Lionel, 1.-THE whole
of the earth's surface was cracked.

Open Window Schools Successful,

Under the title "Revitalizing De-
vitalized Children" DR.. w. w. Roach,
of Philadelphia, has made a report
of a test conducted in the Bache
school of that city during the fall
and winter of 1912.
Two classes Of average third grade
children were given regular third
grade work for twelve weeks in Sep
tember, inclusive, one in an ordinary,
well equipped school room, and the
other in an open window room. The
open window room was provided with
movable chair-desks, which could be
pushed to the side of the room quicl :
ly, so that the whole center space
was available for exercise. The chil-
dren were not given any of their
meals at school; they provide1
themselves with the necessary cloth
ing for cold weather; no difference
was made between the rooms, ex-
cept that the windows of the open
window school were kept open at
top and bottom all day every day,
and no heat admitted to the room,
unless the temperature ran below so
deegrees. Several times daily the
desks were pushed out of the way,
and the children were given brief
physical exercises to stimulate the
circulation.
In September and October both
classes made about the same progress
both in physical development and in
their studies, because the moderate
weather allowed both rooms to keep
their windows continually open. How
ever. in November and December the
children of the open window school
forged ahead. Being in natural
atmosphere all day, they did not suf-
fer from colds. They were active in
mind. close in attention, joyous in
spirits, and easy to discipline. At
the end of twelve weeks their av-
erage gain in weight was two pounds
per pupil. for one pound in the 9TH
er grade; a comparative test show
ed also a considerable percentage
more of Improvement in their
studies.
Every system of artificial ventila-
tion removes from the air some OF
its vitalizing qualities. Every home
and school needs to get back to na-
ture's air. Sickness of body. and slow
development of mind, are the prices
paid for close, warm school rooms.

The Other Washington
BY REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY,

7 was 103 years ago-February
II, 1S10-that Simon Bolivar,
at the time young man of
p, received his colone's commits
sion from the revolutionary junta
at Caracas, Venezuela.
1t was the beginning Of a career
that was as noble as it was bril-
liant, and with perfect justice Boil
ivar stands forth in history as the
South American Washington.
Born at Caracas in 1888, of no.
BILE and wealthy house, Bolivar,
after receiving a thorough educa-
ton, devoted a considerable time
to travelling, visiting, among other
lands, the United States of Amer
lea. While in this country he had
his eyes opened to the blesse edness
Of free institutions, and upon get
ting back TO his native Venezuela
he heartily identified himself with
tne cause of independence.
The sword that was given him
bS HIS country men ne WIeiueQ IN
such way as to make him forever
famous as q warrior. The campaign.
which ended with the victory at
Bojaca stamps its organizer as a
military genius of the first order.
With many handicaps he fought
the trained veterans of Spain with
his raw levies and beat them Oft
ener than he was beaten.
When disaster came he bore 1t
with undscouraged fortitude and
with amazing skill and daring. and.
when the enemy We're least expect
ing il, turned the defeat into VIC
tory. No misfortune was able to
put damper on his courage or
clip the wings Of his splendid
hopefuness. Like our own Wash
ington he managed to see a star
in the darkest night time of dis
aster and to wiring some sort of
substantial success from the most
discouraging situation.

freed. invested him with the dicta-
torial power and voted him a grant
of a million dollars. Declining the
princely grant, Bolivar accepted the
dictatorship and used ii solely for
the betterment Of Bolivia's inter-
ests.
ii is written Of this remarkable
man that he expended nearly all
Of a splendid patrimony in the
service of his country, and al
though he had for u long time uu-
limited control over the revenues
of three countries Colombia, Peru
and Boliyia-he died without
shilling of the public money in his
possession.
He won the independence OF
three states and called forth spir-
it in the southern portion of the
New World that can never be eX-
tinguished. He purified the admin
istration of justice; he encouraged
the arts and sciences, and he in
duced other countries to recognize
that independence which was in a
great measure the fruit of mis- own
