LAS censure is but awkwardly

eventful crisis to which your double
policies have conducted the affairs of
your country requires an investiga-
ton uhcramped by ceremony. There
was a time when the fame of Ameri-

citizen gave title to respect in Eu-
rope. The W of politics had noe
then appeared Elevated to the
chair of the presidency, you assumed
the merit of everything to yourself,
and the natural ingratitude of your
character began to appear. From
such beginning what else could be
expected than>what has happened?-
mean and lservile submission to the
insults of one nation; treachery and
ingratitude to another.

EFFECTS OF TOBACCO.
Experiments Made to Determine Re-
suits of Smoking.

Tobacco smoking and coffee drink
ing have rapidly become marked
characteristics of the American peo-
pie, but whether these habits are
proving seriously injurious is still a
matter of disagreement Of tobacco,
the production in the UNITED States
exceeds 100000 a|year in value,
while the home consumption is more
than 100000 pounds. In an ex-
tensive investigation DR.. John AK
man has made some interesting ex-
periments on 27 young men, aged 16
to 81, each of whom was given one
cigarette to smoke under quiet condi-
tions, and on each of whom the ef-
fects, carefully observed, were found
to be quite marked. The pulse rate,
especially, was notably stimulated.
In 16 out of the q the increase was
over eight beats a minute, and the
average increase among these was IA
a minute. The influence on the blood
pressure was more irregular, some of
the smokers showing fall, some a
rise and some no change. From
these experiments and many varying
opinions, it is concluded that little is
known of the real effects of tobacco
smoking, but DR.. Aikman is inclined
to believe that the enormous increase
in the use of tobacco has had some
thing to do with the great increase of
diseases of the circulation in the last
few years.

A QUEER. CREATURE.
Steposaurus One of the Most Pecu-
liar Ever Known.

With the strange armor plate
standing up along it's spine and a
head and brain relatively more dimin-
utive than those of any other known
land vertebrate, the stegosaurus,
preserved in Jurassic strata of Colo
RADIO and Wyoming, was one of the
most unique of the gigantic dinosaurs
of Mesozoic times. c. w. Gilmore,
of the United States national mu-
scum, who has been studying the re-
mains of this monster, states that it's
weight when living has been estlmat-
ed at between seven and ten tons,
its length at about 20 feet and it's
height to the top of the highest dor
salplate at about IL feet. The small
and feeble teeth indicate that its diet
was very succulent plants-probably
in low, swampy regions. 1t had the
dinosaur characteristic of massive
hind legs with small fore legs, but it's
ancestors are believed to have been
bipeds. Growing weight of body and
armor made it slow moving with ap-
parently just enough brain to direct
the mechanical functions of life. The
armor Of neck, back and tail was
formed by two rows of erect plates,
the plates of one row alternating with
those OF the other. The animal
seems to have typifed kind Of pre-
paredness for passive defense, with
bulk and armor as protection, but so
inert and sluggish that even it's pow
5erful tail, with only unwieldy side
movement, was no weapon against an
active foe.
