July 4th Celebrated at Asylum.

No safe and sane fourth for the
Indians. They celebrated in a truly
'old fashioned" patriotic manner
During the afternoon of July Bird, in
the matrons care, the patients we're
driven to town to purchase their own
fireworks, much to their pleasure
ana delight. After waiting patiently
for dusk on the fourth, both men and
women, with their attendants, gather
ed on the front lawn to ''set them off"
They had lots of noise, excitement
and a general good time, going to bed
tired but happy. After the patients
display, Francis and Harry jr. with
their little friends enjoyed a good
time with their own fire works. For
atime the air was blue with smoke
and excitement. DR.. and Mrs. Levi
son with their three daughters, Mrs.
Linn and Baby Jean Master Kelman
Nelson, Misses Lajla and Viola
Christopher and Master John Christi
opher were the big and little guests
invited to help Francis Hummer
celebrate his ninth birthday. Dire
city before the celebration nine little
ones were gathered around the re-
freshment table upon which stood the
wonderful birthday cake, surrounded
by nine little candles burning as bright
ly as we hope his future may glow.
Little silk flags were at each place.
Even with rain and hail, spelling the
decorations and casting hopes to zero
for fear of it would last all night,
Independence day" was voted a
pretty good old day.

Why the Earth Grows Dryer.

When water is decomposed by radi-
um or by ultraviolet rays 1t produces
hydrogen and peroxide Of hydrogen,
and il does not form oxygen. Elec-
trolytie decomposition forms oxygen.
A German investigator bases a new
theory relating To the drying of the
earth on the fact that one form OF
decomposition produces oxygen, While
the other form does not. Part of the
water vapor emitted by the rays of
the sun; the hydrogen formed rises
toward the high atmospheric strata,
and all the water does not return 10
the surface Therefore, the quantity
of water on the face of the globe Is
always diminishing, and the earth is
necessarily, if gradually drying.
TO cite one example: On the north
side of the Alps there is continual
falling off in the depth of the lakes
and a gradual formation of swamps.
Two hundred and fifty years ago there
we're l49 lakes in the canton OF Zu-
rich: today there are IS. The destruc-
ton of the forests and thee ultivation
of the land partially explain this, but
the loss of hydrogen is an important
factor. The hydrogen accumulated in
the higher atmosphere is diffused in
