1859 and 1872? l.. w. 2

DALToN's EXPERIMENT.


Showing What Genius Can Do With
Crude Apparatus.
The great English chemist Dalton
was a schoolteacher. he worked with
out laboratory and with crude ap.
paratus, mostly made by himself from
simple materials. Here is an example
described in his own words:
"Took an ale glass Of conical fig
ure, two and a half inches in diameter
and three inches deep; filed 1t with
water that had been standing In the
room and consequently Of the tempera-
ture Of the air nearly; put the bulb Of
the thermometer to the bottom OF the
glass, the scale being out of the water.
Then, having marked the temperature.
put the redhot tip Of the poker half
an inch deep in the water. holding 1t
there steadily for half a minute. and
as soon as It was withdrawn dipped
the bulb Of sensible thermometer
into the water, when 1t rose in few
seconds to 1870 degrees"
He then determined the temperature
| of the water at the bottom after fivt
minutes, after twenty minutes and aft
| er an hour and found that 1t rose grad
ually from At to 50 degrees. This sim
pie experiment proved that water ha'
| the power to conduct heat, which hat
been denied by no less an authority
than Rumford.-Youth's Companion.

0MENS IN BASEBALL.

A Managers Method Of Turning q Su.
perstition to Account.
Writing on baseball matters in the
New York Tribune. John j. McGraw
has this to say about the superstitions
of the players:
II recognize the superstitions of ball
players. For example, back in 1904.
when Bowerman was with the team,
he came to me one day and said:
"'As / came in today saw team
Of white horses driving past the Polo
grounds. That's good sign. Watch
me kill the ball this afternoon
HE did. The belief in his supersti-
ton had given him confidence. Bow
erman spread the tidings of the white
horses around the clubhouse. The next
day somebody else saw the white
horses, SO the day after. BY the end
of the week the entire team was hit
ting like a house on fire. They all be-
Iieyed in the superstition. and 1t gave
them confidence. One day my short
stop, Dahlen, remarked:
Funny those white horses always
happen to drive past the ball park
lust when we are coming into the
clubhouse. It's certainly lucky.
II heard him and couldn't keep back
a smile. On the day Bowerman told
me he had seen the horses made up
my mind that everybody else would
see them as long as it helped theil
batting. So ! engaged a man to drive
past the Polo grounds every day. That
is a fact, and it shows the lengths t.
which manager will go to cater t.
ball players superstitions."

Tho Conscientious Chinese Cniio'
One of our missionaries, writing OF
a little girl in the school under her
care, says: Last night Wah Moo told
me she wanted to be a whole Chris
tian,' as she called it. So we had
long talk and tried to think OF all the
wrong we had done that day and con.
fess It to each other. She counted
these wrongs on her fingers: I did
not brush my teeth as you told me to
do; did not take off the lower sheet
on the bed when | made It up, and !
know I ought to always; | got angry
with one Of the girls at school; did
not use my soap when ! took my bath;
I did not try to do my example IN
multiplication; all the other girls dlo
theirs wrong, SO I thought would

Welsh SINGERS ARE COMING
Will Appear Under Auspices Of the
Grand Forks Y. w. G. A. ON
Two Evenings.

That the Royal Gwent Welsh Sing
ers, which will appear at the audtto-
rum on November 25 and 26, brings
the goods with it when it tours a
country, and that, it captivates the
heart of the people, needs no other
certificate than the fact that the choir
on its third tour is receiving warm
er reception than 1t ever received on
its previous tours. The men of Wales
have found out that Americans and
Canadians are truly a musical people,
and, as George F. Davies, the conduc-
tor puts it, the proof of really mu-
sical nature is the stunning of musi-
cal trash, however cheap 1t may be,
and the patronizing of musical art for
arts sake, even though the prize be
prohibitive. Musical America has
gone crazy-to useta vulgar term
over the singing OF the men from
Wales. not because Of any high price
they had to pay to hear them, but be-
cause the singingsof the choir reached
the ideal of genuinely musical peo-
pie. Hence the third visit of the cho-
rus and the invartable warm ,recep-
tion it has met with 50 far at every
appearance. on its. present itinerary
over our great continent. One of the
effects Of the previous tours is that
the choir, having become more accus-
toned to the Aperican people. sings
on this OCCASION better, It possible,
than 1t ever did, before,

FRENCH BRIAR PIPES FREE
Will Be Given This Week With
Tuxedo Tobacco.

In connection with the sale of Tuxe-
do Tobacco in this city, local dealers
are giving free, for q few days, to
each purchaser of the new Accent
size, half-pound tin humidor Of Tux
edo. a high grade pipe Of genuine i'm
ported French Briar. The bowls are
made of selected root beautifully
grained and highly polished. The bit
is made of the best vulcanite. These
pipes will prove an addition to any
mans collection as they are strictly
high class, the grade Of pipe which
breaks in easily and improves with
smoking.
OF the popular high grade pipe to-
baccos, Tuxedo is the best liked in the
field. From the time of it's first ap-
pearance, the manufacturers Of Tuxe-
do have been steadily striving to put
it into more convenient form for the
consumption of pipe smokers. The
new tin humidor is the most efficient
that has ever been devised. After us
ing 1t as a humidor, it makes a first
rate cigar holder.

CLUE found TO
"SNOWB|RD" RING
News Agents on Trains Said
to be Selling Deadly
Drugs.

That news agents on some of the
trains running into Grand Forks are
acting as statesmen in the traffic in CO.
caine, heorin. etc.. believed to exist in
this part of the country, is the latest
report in connection with the opera
tions of the supposed ring of "snow-
birds" who are supposed to be work
ing in this part Of the country.
lis rumored that some Of these
agents have been carrying on an ex-
tensive business in the drugs, and an
official investigation may result.
1t appears certain that some Of the
victims of the habit who have been
arrested in this city and East Grand
Forks in showed up condition
could not have obtained the dope aft
er they arrived in town.
For this reason the theory that
they may have purchased the drug on
trains appears to be all the more
plausible. IL
The nature of the dope" makes it
possible to carry a large quantity of
it in q small space A snuff" Of CO.
caine which can be sold in a small
pill box sells for so cents. The heroin
is cheaper.
In this way it Is possible for the
traffickers in these drugs to carry
their stock in trade on their persons
without danger of discovery.

METHOD PROVIDED
means BIG CUT:
Supreme Court Decision Af-
fects Many Activities of
the State.
FAIR ALLOWANCE
MAY BE REDUCED
Present Estimate Indicates
That About One-hfth
Will be the Cut.

The supreme court has handed
down a decision in the rehearing in
the mill tax case. 1t held that. owing
to the fact that the standing appro-
priations and levies of the state ex-
ceedcd the available funds. the state
board Of equalization must reconvene
and after levying for the legislative,
executive and Judiciary departments
of the state government and penal in
stitutions it must prorate all levies
and standing appropriations.
In brief, that outside of the judi
ciary. that is, the judges and clerk of
the supreme court, StenographenS, sal
aries of the district Judges. ETC.; the
expenses of all state officers and state
boards and commissions and their en-
ployes. Office and travelling expenses.
the expenses of the legislature, the
and all the expense incidental to the
state government and all standing ap-
preparations for the penitentiary,
school for the feeble minded, the re-
form school, the blind asylum and
the school for the deaf and dumb
must be provided In full by the levy
made by the state board.
All other enterprises Of the state
government, such for instance as the
library commission. the historical So
ciety, state aid to high schools. state
aid to rural schools, and the educa-
tional enterprises including farmers
institutes and teachers institutes, the
Mandan and state fairs at Grand
Forks and Fargo. agricultural and
domestic science and manual training
in high schools, the Florence Critten-
den home and all the standing appro-
priations for educational institutions
must be prorated. that is. the amount
Of money left after the preferred
claims on the state have been allowed,
must be divided among these institu-
tions. 1t is probable the cut will
amount to one-tifth.
1t seems apparent that with the levy
reduced to 4 mills for all state pur-
poses, other than interest on the pub
lie debt and sinking fund. the activi-
ties of the state will be curtailed the
next two wears
