DALTON'S EXPERIMENT.
Showing What q Genius Can Do With
Crude Apparatus.


Crude Apparatus.
The great English chemist Dalton
was a schoolteacher. He worked with.
out a laboratory and with crude ap-
paratus. mostly made by himself from
simple materials. Here is al example
described in his own words:
'ATook an ale glass Of a conical fig
ure, two and half inches in diameter
and three inches deep: filled it 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,
l 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as soon as it was withdrawn l dipped
the bulb of sensible thermometer
into the water. when 1t rose In few
seconds to 100 degrees"
He then determined the temperature
OF the water at the bottom after I'VE
minutes. after twenty minutes and aft
er an hour and found that 1t rose grad
ually from Al to 81 degrees. This sim
pie experiment proved that water has
the power to conduct heat, which had
been denied by no less an authority
than Rumford. Companion.

And now politics. This is the
slogan in this part of Idaho and the
interest will grow until after the
10th of November. The brunt Of
the fight is of course the United
States senatorship as between the
two Jims. It is proving a very
pretty fight and the beam is not
noticeably declining just now in
anybody's favor. Should the ma
tional Democratic party throw some
heavy weight speakers into the state
during the campaign it might have
important bearing on the results.
There is a growing sentiment all
over southern and southeastern Idaho
that by the hocus pocus of our Won
derful primary election system north
Idaho has been left out in the cold
in a political sense. No senator to
be voted for from the north, no
candidate for congress or for the
supreme bench on the Republican
ticket. 1t is a part Of the good for
tune of the Democrats that they
have made it possible to give the
north representation on both the
supreme bench and in congress.
The first has been made possible
by the nomination of William M
Morgan and therlatter by that. of j
H. Forney. The office of judge OF
the supreme court is non-political
and unless the party whip is applied
most vigously in the north Mr.
Morgan will receive enough non-par'
tisan votes down, in the south tt
elect him and thus give the north &
member of the supreme bench tx

Hundreds, and perhaps thousands
of old Indian fighters in Idaho and
others wastern states, who today are
not eligible for pensions under the
Indian War pension law, will be given
a pensionable status when Congress
passed bill recently introduced by
Senator Brady. AS the law now
stands, survivors of the early Indian
wars can be pensioned only where
for 80 days Of more. Senator Brady
proposes to amend the law SO that
those who were in the service against
the Indians for 80 days or more may
be pensioned by the government.
In offering this amendment,
Senator Brady said there are many
survivors of the Indian wars who
did not serve as much as 80 days,
but in most instance they held then
selves ready for call, and, often
performed as great and as important
services as those enlistment was for
the full 80 days period. The Senator
thinks that the service restriction
should bereduced, and if his amend
ment is accepted, practically every
survivor Of the early Indian strug-
giles will be eligible for pension
from the government.
