solid fuel, gas forpower ind other pur-
poses, under the terms Of a senate bill
which the house OF representatives
adopted. An appropriation of $780,

object of the investigation is to DEM
onstrate the commercial value Of lig-
mite, which is one-third Of the coal de-
posits of the nation.
A vast volume of the deposits Is on
government land, and Texas has ap-
proximately 23,OOO,OO0,OOO tons. The
official report says there Is bltuminous
coal In Texas, but not sufficient to sup
ply the railroads, and in urging the
passage Of the bill Representative

The Chinese give kina..r

1.-THE Five Kings is the name Of the
sacred book in which is Incorporated
the religion Of the Chinese as well as a
great number of other peoples of the
orient. The doctrine Is a complex sys-
tenn of moral, social, political and reli-
gious teaching built up by Confucius
on the ancient Chinese traditions, and.
although its author lived more than
five centuries before the birth Of Christ,
it is still %perpetuated Al the state reli-
gion Of the Chinese down to the pres
ent day. Confucianism is a religion
without positive revelation, with a
minimum Of dogmatic teaching, whose
popular worship is centered in offer
ings to the dead, in which the notion
of duty is extended beyond the sphere
Of morals proper SO a S to embrace al
most every detail Of daily life.

DR.. Herschel G. Parker Of Columbia
university, while on an exploring ex-
petition to Alaska last summer, dis
covered extensive platinum beds in
the Susitana and Yentna valleys In
the Cook inlet country. He brought
out a large number OF ore samples on
his return to the States. and Is now
engaged in exhaustive tests Of the
metal. He expects to establish a plant
for handling the ore when he goes
back to Alaska next spring.
THE Alaska platinum ore is low
grade" said Doctor Parker, "but It is
there In abundance. It will have to be
handled in large quantities and under
scientific methods of economy to make
1t pay. The question Of It's commercial
value is simply n of engineering.
With the end OF the war and the on
scquent wide use of platinum for Jew

Richborough, near Sandwich. Here

a town covering considerably rel two

FALLS ONLY TO RISE.
An Experiment With a Sort Of Perpet-
ual Motion Effect.

uaI moelon 6U0CSs
A novel experiment in the demon
stration of perpetual motion is to be
performed simply. A glass beaker
about six inches high and four inches
in diameter is filed with water to the
height Of about four and a half inches,
and two and one-half to three ounces
Of commercial aniline are added, which
will sink to the bottom Of the vessel.
The temperature Of the beaker and
its contents is now raised to 40 or IT'S
degrees T. by means of a burner, when
it will be observed that the aniline will
rise to the surface Of the water, from
which it will hang In a mass of curved
outline. Almost Immediately the sus-
pended aniline commences to alter In
shape, and gradually a large drop an
inch or more in diameter detaches It.
self from the mass and falls through
the water.
And now, the detached drop having
fallen to the bottom of the beaker,
comes the surprising part Of the ex-
pertinent. The fallen drop Is seen grad
ually to rise to the surface, where 1t
joins the mass from which 1t previous
ly broke away. At nce another drop
commences t" form and, having be-
come detached, falls and rises in the
same manner as the previous drop.
So long as the temperature Of the
water Is maintained at ITO degrees or
over this procedure continues.

USING A MEDICINE DRoPPER.
Tho More ciantino II 10 Held the BIG.
oer the Drops Will Be.

When using n medicine dropper 1t Is
important to use 1t correctly, especial
" If measuring out drops Of some
powerful medicine like ~strychntne,
morphine or. arsenic, for drops vary
widely In their size.
DR.. r. P. Garrow Of London recently
reported to the Lancet the results OF
some experiments he had made with
a medicine dropper and a simple solu-
ton. He measured the solution very
carefully and then took 1t all up into a
medicine dropper, from which he turn
ed it, drop by drop, holding the drop
per at different angles and counting
the drops as they fell.
With the dropper held vertically lat
an angle Of 90 degrees with the hoil-
zontaD It's contents made 100 drops.
Held at an angle Of 80 degrees Its con-
tents made eighty-two drops; at 20 de.
grees they made sixty-eight drops, at
10 degrees they made sixty drops, and
held horizontal they made only forty
eight drops.
In other words, the drops become
progressively larger as the dropper Is
moved from the vertical position. A
drop from a dropper held at an angle
of so degrees Is %one-quarter larger than
normal; thus, If the nurse has to give
sixteen drops and holds the dropper
slanting she is really giving twenty.
And the more slanting the dropper the
bigger the drops.

Philippine Fruits.

There have been found in the Philip
pines two fruits entirely unknown to
Europe and even to America. One of
these is the DURAN, which grows on q
lofty tree somewhat resembling an
elm, is about as large as a cocoanut,
has a shiny shell and contains a
creamy pulp which combines some Of
the favors Of delicious custard with
those Of a fine cheese. American SOL
diers in the Philippines have dubbed
the DURAN the vegetable limburger."
The other rare fruit is the m%angosteen;
but the exquisitely favored liquid 1t
contains has not vet been successfully
preserved for shipping abroad.

as it was when it was in Scotland in

was given in Cobb's garage where
seats were provided from the Hall.
By evening they were able to play on
the platform outside. While the band
naturally played under disadvantages
of following so close after another
band. yet its programs were very
highly enjoyed. The selections were
probably more typical Of q war band
than the other, consisting Of popular
songs and martial pieces. Following

DeWitte Clinton Chamberlain was
born Jan. 9th, 1884, at Belfast, AL
leghany county. N. Y. On August
3, 1873 he was united in marriage to
Miss Sarah Upwood. of Emmetsburg,
la In the year 1876 he became a
member of what was then known as
Dakota Mission and which has since
grown into the Dakota Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church. He
served at the following charges: Lodi,
S. D., Albion and Rock Rapids, Iowa,
Vermillion, Canton, Parker and Scot.
land. In 1887, after serving two
years at Scotland he retired from ac-
tive service on account of an affection
Of the throat which impaired also his
general health. He then made his
home on a farm a few miles south
west of Scotland where he lived about
Is years. At the end of that time
he sold his place and shortly after
bought and moved into the home in
Scotland and engaged in the sale of
buggies, implements and harness until
four years ago.
While returning home from his
place of business one winter Cay he
slipped on the icy walk and fell,
breaking the hip bone. Owing to his
advanced age the bone never knit and
for a period of four years and three
months he has been almost helpless.
During this time he was cared for in
a wonderfully patient and efficient
way by Mrs. Chamberlain. For some
time he has been failing but go grad
ually that it was scarcely %perceptible.
On Tuesday of last week he was sud-
denly taken much worse and passed
away Thursday, June 9Th. The flu.
neral services were conducted from
Methodist church Sunday, June 9Th,
at 1890, by the pastor, the Rev. C.
W. Langdon, assisted by Rev. Chas.
E. Wilcox, a former pastor. Inter.
ment was made in Rose Hill Gene
terry.
Mr.. Chamberlain has been a well
known and influential citizen during
all of the time of his residence here.
For twelve years he was justice of
the peace and was interested in polit-
ical affairs of the community. He
always took a keen interest in the
work of the church and was one of it's
most faithful and effective workers.
Two characteristics stand cut in his
life, HE tenacity of purpose and his
willingness to stand by his convictions
of duty. These convictions came of
his desire to do what he believed to
be right. In the death of Mr.. Cham
herlain Scotland has lost one of her
best citizens.
There survive him the widow, Mrs
Sarah Chamberlain, who will make
her home here, his son Archie, of
Winterset, Ia, two grandchildren and
three great grandchildren. To these
the sympathy of the community is ex-
tended in their sorrow. Xxx

1t is somewhat refreshing in Amer
lean political life to note, now and then,
an instance where a man realizes his
own limitations and who has set the
limit for his aspirations, Such man is

speaker of the national House of Repre-

ing the nomination to be tantamount to
election. Congressman Gillett might be
able to fill the role of president as we'll
as it has been filled in some cases since
the beginnings of the nation; but he has
no aspirations in that direction. He
early determined that to be speaker of
the House would be the fitting limit for
his ambition; and the whole course of
his career, it might be said has been
shaped with that idea in view. He has
not been one of the snowy members of
Congress during his "a years Of service
there; but he has been a faithful, con-
scientious member striving to perform
his work acceptably and at the same
time endeavoring to master all the by
ways of the situation In that he has
done well, while others were doing the
oratorical effects Therein has Gillett
fitted himself for the goal of his ambi-
ton, to be speaker. No further laurels
