Scientific Improvement.

A chemical hygrometer, said to be
much superior to the psychrometer for
measuring relative humidity, provides
means of determining the moisture
content of the air by volume measure
ments before and after contact with
sulphuric acid, which completely abb
serbs the water vapor present in one
contact. A reading can be made In
less than two minutes.

Out OF the Race

When one wakes with stiff back,
pains in muscles, aches in joints, or
rheumatic twinges, he cannot do his

NOW PLAN TO ASK
FOR ANEW BRIDGE
D. C. Commissioners Favor
Replacing, Rather Than Re-
pairing, Span.
TO TELL CONGRESS NEED
FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION
Rebuilding Would Mean Years De-
lay. But. They Point Out. Would
Pay Better in the End.

Impressed by the necessity of imme-
diateIy repairing or replacing Aqueduct
bridge, which Col. F'lagler of the
United States engineer Office has de-
clared to be unsafe for the traffic now
using it, the District Commissioners, II
is learned on high authority. will make
a determined effort to have Congress
provide funds for new bridge before
the present session is many weeks
older.
In their estimates the Commissioners
request $4,000 for plans for such
structure. but the estimates were pre-
pared last September before Col. rag
ler's report had been made.
In view of the startling condition of
the bridge reported by the army engi-
neer the District heads consider that
immediate action is called for, and, in
stead OF seeking an appropriation for
plans, they are going to urge upon
Congress that funds be made available
with the least possible delay for pc
ginning work on a new bridge This
course should save at least years

of whether the District or the War

Senator NeWIands Sees Anal
coy Between Demands on
Wilson and Mckinley.
HISTORIC INCIDENTS
OF 1898 REVEALED
Nevada Statesman Shows How Pres
ident Was Practically Forced
to Act in Cuba.

An analogy between the demands
made upon President Wilson by repub-
lican members of Congress to inter
vene in Mexico and the demands made
upon President Mckinley by the demo-
Gratis Just before the Spanish American
war as drawn in the Senate yesterday
afternoon by Senator Newlands of Ne
vada. The senator, who was member
of the House committee on foreign al
fairs at the time of the Spanish war,
told q hitherto unpublished incident of
the days Immediately preceding the
decla ration of war. Senator Newlands
armed the Senate that too much agi-
tation now may result in war today
Just rs it did in 1898, declaring that
President Mckinley was driven into
war. He said;
Just before the Cuban war | hap
pened to be member of the House OF
Representatives and member OF the
committee on foreign affairs. At that
time the country was excited with ref
erence TO the condition of Cuba. An
election was approaching. and the
party of which l was member was
then engaged in somewhat the same
form OF attack upon Mr. McklnieE as
is now being INDUCED in by the re-
publican party upon Mr.. Wilson.
Action of Democrats.
II recall that during that time the
President was embarra ssed by the con-
sideration of numerous resolutions pre-
sented by the leaders of the adversary
party in the House of Representatives
regarding the recognition of belligerent
rights and other matters of that KIND.
democrats of the House the question
came up as to whether this mode OF
attack was proper and would be fruit
ful of results. ] ventured then to in
uuire whether the democratic party
wished to get into war. and l was as
s,!red that it did not; that it was a
mere question of party tactics: that the
commencement and the maintenance Oh
2 war pending a national campaign
would insure the retention in power OF
the dominant party. My reply was:
Then this resolution will drive this ao-
ministration into war. An answer
came back from a prominent democrat
that the republican party could not De
kicked into war. That mode OF attack
went on: disaffection increased IN
the republican party; in the northwest
particularly the sentiment was intense,
and republicans felt that their seats
were in danger at the approaching
election. They formed an organization
called the insurgents and called upon
the President with reference to the
pending situation and insisted that the
administration should take decisive
action.
