The NebuIar Hypothesis,

The nebular hypothesis assumes that
the matter composing our sun and plan
cts once existed as vast gaseous neb-
ula, spiral in form, having an incon-
ceivably high temperature and slowly
revolving on an axis passing through
its center of gravity. As the mass
cooled by radiating heat into space q
contraction of volume with accelerated
axial rotation would ensue, in accord
ance with well known dynamic princi
Piles. The centrifugal force thus rap
idly increased would cause the separa-
ton Of large masses which would, by
mutual attraction of their own parti-
cles, gradually assume spherical form
and become planets. By a repetition
Of this process planet after planet
would be thrown or and the central
glowing sun would remain.

6 CHICKEN JoE'' CAMPBELL CON
vIcTED FOR THE MURDER OF
MRS. EDMUND NJ. ALLEN.

The first part of this week, "Chick-
en- Joe" Campbell, was convicted IN
the criminal court of Will county,
Joliet, Illinois, after long drawn out
trial for the murder of Mrs. Edmund
M. Allen, the first part of June this
wear. whose husband was at that time
the warden of the penitentiary and If
Joe Campbell, really did murder Mrs.
Allen, Mr.. Allen, is almost as much
responsible for the commitment of the
terrible deed as Campbell is if he really
did do it.
For it was wrong in every way, for
Mr.. Allen to leave on pleasure trip
for West Baden and permit Mrs. Allen
to remain at home unprotected, sur
rounded by murderers, cut threats and
desperate characters, who seemingly had
free access to her apartments either
day or night.
1t may be; that Joe Campbell, did
not have a hand in helping to end her
life, but his criminal record was against
him and as he was serving out a life
sentence for numbering some one here
in Chicago; the jury concluded; that
the only way to punish him, was to
sentence him to die on the gallows.
The latter part of this month, a mo-
ton will be argued for a new trial for
him.

Second Annual Competition will include
States, Cities and Villages.

The states, cities, towns and villages
selling the largest number of Red Cross
Seals per capita will be given pennants
in their respective classes by The Amer
lean Red Cross and The National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis, as announced in bull
letin issued to-day. Last years COM
petition was limited to cities, towns and
villages, but for the 1915 Seals Cam
paign remnants will be awarded to
states as well.
To avoid pitting villages against
large cities, they have been divided
into ten classes, as follows: Population
less than 600; from 600 to 1900; from
200 to 1000, thence to 5000; thence
to $4,000; thence to $4,000, thence to
10000; thence to 100000; and over
100000.
A handsome silk banner in red and
white will be awarded to the city, vii
lage, town or county anywhere in the
United States and territories which
shall make the highest score in sale per
capita in its class. The populations
considered are the Federal Estimates
for 1915.
The states with Hawaii-which is a
strong competitor likewise group
ed in classes. Class A, population up
to 1,25O,OOO; Glass B, 1850, 900 to 2,40O,-
900; Class C. 100000 upwards. Of
the 10 GA" states, Rhode Island led
last year with a sale of 2.112 seals per
inhabitant. Of the IL "B" states,
Minnesota led with $50 seal per in
habitant. Of the 13 states with popu-
lations (1915) more than 100000, Wis
consin led with LAS seals. 1t beat
New York State by Seven-thousandths
of seal, although New York State
outside New York City won out over
Wisconsin, with 1880 seals per capita.
In the 1914 competition staid cities
bestirred themselves in rivalry to be
published as the most generous sup
porters of public health work through
purchase of the Red Cross Seals. In
other places the anti-tuberculosis work
ers started the selling campaign up
again between Christmas and New
Year to get their town in the Honor
Roll for the sale of three seals per
capita.
Last years pennant winners were:
Pittsburgh, Pa, population, $50, 9O5,
Seals per capita, 1904; Rochester, N.
Y, population 2ls,l49, seals per capita,
4.76; Troy, N. Y, population, 1888,

tiOn, 1896, seals per capita, $685.;

Mice That subsist on SCORPIONS.

Among the queer forms Of animal
life that inhabit Death valley is q
mouse that has acquired such taste
for scorpions that they form its entire
bill of fare. The scorpion carries its
formidable armament at the end OF
its slender, elongated abdomen In the
shape of an exceedingly venomous
hooked sting. When disturbed It ele-
Yates this in the air and goes In
search of its disturber. But 1t Is COM
paratively slow in its motions, while
mice are proverbial for their quick
ness the world over. The mouse learn
ed many generations ago where the
scorpion carries its weapon, and when
he meets 1t he leaps at the uplifted
abdomen, takes OF the sting at q sim
gle bite and proceeds to make a meal
Of his helpless prey. It Is supposed to-
be the only animal that relishes scor-
ptns.

KILL TURKEYS BY STICKING
Fowls Are Drained by Running Point
Of Knife Under Eye Into Brain
Feathers Pick Easily.

The most common way Of killing
turkeys is to hang them up by their
legs and stick them with a knife in
the mouth. making one or two cuts
diagonally across the roof OF the
mouth, while moving the point Of the
knife forward from the edge Of the
skull.
After sticking, the birds are Drained
by running the point Of the knife I'M
der the eye or into the roof Of the
mouth IN such a way as 10 strike the
inside OF the skull directly between
the eyes. says q writer in Prairie
Farmer. The knife may be slightly
twisted when the point reaches the
brain. the bird giving q characteristic
culver when properly Drained after
which the feathers pick easily.
The feathers are usually picked in
the following order; Flights. main tail.
back, sides, breast, legs and thighs.
Turkeys are usually dry picked and
shipped undravn to market. The long
wing feathers bring a good price on
the market The methods Of killing
and dressing turkeys and ehikens are
practically the same.

PROVIDE SHADE FOR POULTRY
Ducks and Geese Quickly sueeumb II
Unable TO Secure Protection From
the SUMS Rays.

Failure to provide shade for poultry
during the summer months not only
results in q large number OF deaths,
but the fiocks are less productive. The
Importance OF summer shade cannot
be overestimated. Poultry Of all kinds
require shade. Ducks and geese very
quickly succumb II they are unable to
get protection from the suns rays.
It is easy to provide plenty Of shade.
The Missouri College Of Agriculture
recommends the following ways OF fur.
nishing shade for poultry: Portable
houses can be set up on blocks so that
the birds may run underneath; OF.
chards, sunfOwer patches, cornhelds,
etc. can be so arranged that the young
stock or mature hens may run in them.
Cornhelds make excellent summer
range for young stock They furnish
plenty Of shade and other conditions
for rapid economical growth are ideal
A little planning on the part Of the
farmer will make poultry keeping
more profitable. By providing shade
the losses are reduced, the flock is
more productive, and the young stocb
win make more economical growth.
