Democratic state convention was In

district for the purpose of sending
delegates to the Democratic national
convention in Chicago, and there. from

Another version Of his return, how.

on June II. 1871, and in substance
was this: That he reasoned the prob

the knowledge or consent OF the
Washington administration, or any
promised immunity, he determined
that the government would not renew
his prosecution, and that 1t would be
safe for him to return to his old home
in time to attend the Democratic state
convention, as he greatly desired to
be sent as a delegate to the Chicago
convention. Hence he always claimed
that he left his exile home at night
and in disguise; crossed the river in
a small boat from Windsor, Canada,
to Detroit, Michigan, and went alone
from Detroit direct to Hamilton, Ohio,
by railroad. Upon his arrival at Ham.

alienated by the bitterness Of the
war. at once wired the President
"Vallandigham is back. What shall
we do with him?" and to this inquiry
Lincoln gave this laconic telegraphic
answer: LET HIM ALONE" This
wise action upon his part shows the
workings of the brain of that great,
masterful leader of men. But. how.

Lincoln had him brought back, or he

convention In actual session on June

and spectators this dramatic personal
appearance Of their old neighbor,
friend and leader, swept through that
vast assemblage like a wave or cleo,

thusiasm, and that upon the instant
he answered their expected demand
for a speech. The pent.up fires Of
his political Punishment for more than
a year. at once found expression in a
blaze OF brilliant, impassioned and
superb oratory, and the rarely gifted
speaker entranced his enthusiastic
hearers and won both their heads and
hearts. The result OF all this was
that by their unanimous vote, Val.

STATISTIC BILL
 KILLED IN HOUSE

The Shoup vital statistics amenda' tory bill, rewritten from the act pass ed by the first legislature to avoid the repeal of the law, was killed in the house after a motion by Mir. Snow to lay the bill on the table had been lost.
 On motion to indefinitely postpone the measure, the roll call showed the following result:
 To postpone: Burns, Daily, Driscoll Day, Getchell, Moran, Shoup, MT Speaker Eight.
 Against: Britt, Coombs, Heckman Holland, Noon, Tansey, Snow. Absent Held. Seven.
 The chair ruled that a majority of the quorum prevailed, after the ques- ton had been raised by MT. Snow that a majority of the whole house was necessary.
 The vital statistics registration sit uation is now in the same status as before the legislature met. MT. Shoup said his purpose in introducing the amendatory bill was in order to place Alaska within the zone requested by the Federal Bureau of Census, that the morality of the nation might be measured. Without the legitimacy or illegitimacy of child set forth in the records, he said, the bill was worth less.
 The house passed bill to appro- priate $500 for use by the Secretary of the Territory, as ex officio vital statistics registrar. The money will be spent for contingent expenses, sup plies, etc.

HOW HIGH EXPLOSIVES KILL
Soldiers In Trenches Slain Because Of
the Disturbance Shells Cause In
the Atmosphere.

In a recent address to the Society
Of Civil engineers OF France. NJ. R. Ar
noux explained why soldiers are killed
by the mere bursting Of high-explo-
sive shells. A pocket aneroid barome-
ter that had been made unserviceable
by being too near a German shell
when II exploded showed that, at a
distance of less than three meters. the
explosion had caused in the room
where the instrument was placed a
sudden barometric depression of at
least $50 millimeters of mercury. Now,
such a depression corresponds to a
driving velociay in the air Of 2T6 me-
ters a second, and TO a dynamic pres
sure of 10.360 Kilograms a square
meter. That sudden static depres-
sion OF the surrounding atmosphere
kills the men in the trenches, al
though II leaves them apparently un-
injured. When the pressure of the
air decreases too suddenly. the air
and carbonic acid that the blood holds
in solution are disintegrated in the
form Of minute gaseous bubbles. and
are driven by the heart into the small
arteries. II their diameter is greater
than that of the small arteries. they
act. Of course. as so many gaseous
/ plugs, which instantaneously stop the
circulation Of the blood; and death
occurs before the return Of the at
mOspheric pressure to normal enables
the blood TO absorb them again. High
explosive shells kill through a smaller
radius than shrapnel. but they are
more deadly, for within their radius OF
action no living being can escape

TOO MUCH FOR THE WITNESS
Question That Judge Imagined He Put
Plainly Hardly Had the Effect
He Desired.

A certain Judge. somewhat famed
for the prolixity and subtlety OF his
reasoning, looked at a confused and
bewildered witness. while his face took
on the most benign expression as he
endeavored to straighten out the ques-
tion which had been propounded BY
counsel.
Now. my good woman" he said.
cheerfully and reassuringly, you have
only to answer in the fewest possible
words these simple queries: Whether
when you we're crossing the street
with the baby on your arm, and the
stage was coming down on the right,
and the cab on the left. and the
biougham was trying TO pass the
stage, you saw the plaintiff between
the brougham and the cab. or the
brougham and the stage. whether he
seemed in haste. and which one OF the
three cabs coming from the other d.
rection he appeared to you to be hail

The now thoroughly bewildered wit
ness wiped her spectacles and meek

WHY STEEL SHELLS ARE USED
Cast Iron Could Not Be Depended On
to Do Accurate Work That
Is Demanded.

The great cost OF the shells used in
warfare has astounded most persons
who are unfamiliar with such mat
ters, and in answer to a correspond
ent asking why cheaper shells made
of cast iron were not made use Of in
preference to the more expensive steel,
the Engineer of London has the fol-
lowing: In the first place. where
sh-apnel is concerned. the number Of
bullets is reduced because the walls
OF the projectile must be made thick
er. There is not an objection in high.
explosive shells, which call for walls
thicker than is necessary for strength.
but there is danger Of cast iron shells
developing cracks during manufacture.
and there would be a risk Of such
shells bursting in the gun. Another
objection is that a cast-iron shell is
liable to be inaccurate in its flight.
The projectile must be in perfect bal.
ance with the walls. not only of the
same thickness all around. but homo
geneous. At the high speed of revo
luton, the slight difference in weight
on one side would cause irregular
shooting. The steel shell is machined
inside and out. to insure uniformity
but II a shell we're cast on a core and
the core we're not absolutely concen
trio. the center of gravity would not
lie exactly in the longitudinal axis o.
the shell. Furthermore. the making
Of a steel shell has been so perfected
that such shells can be turned ou
more quickly than those OF cast iroI
of equal reliability in accuracy. Al

report Of the Scottish Cooperative
Wholesale society for the first half Of
1915. recently made public. shows that
the volume OF business transacted was
greater than In any corresponding

this was due to the higher market
