SCIENTISTS TO
HUNT METEOR
Men Of Authority Planning to Hunt
For Meteorite Near Garfield,
Utah, Where 1t Is Supposed
to Have Fallen.

The proposed expedition of John
Patton, inventor and engineer, and
Prof. Francis c. Nicholas, curator of
! the Maryland Academy of Sciences,
to search for the great meteorite
which is supposed to have fallen six
or seven years ago near Garfield,
Utah, is matter of interest to sci
entists, says the New York Evening
Sun.
The belief in the existence Of a
great meteorite in this neighborhood
is based upon observations Of its
course at the time of its fall, upon
the surface Indications in the vicinity
and upon finding pulverized rock
along the tunnels already made for a
depth of $50 feet in the search for
the great rock, which is estimated by
Mr.. Patton to weigh 5000 tons.
This search has both commercial
and scientific purpose. 1t is pro-
posed to utilize the metal OF which
the meteorite is undoubtedly com.
posed. In this respect the attempt OF
Mr.. Patton and Prof. Nicholas re-
sembles that OF D. M. Barringer, of
Philadelphia, to discover the great
meteoEite, known as the Canyon
DlaDlO IuetGOTilt, AAA0NC IAiS
remarkable depression called by sci
entists meteorite crater in central
Arizona
A great number Of fragments,
VARYING in size from that Of pebble
the size of ones finger tip to masses
weighing half ton, have been found,
but the gigantic author Of the crater
is as yet undiscovered.
A number of these specimens OF
the Canyon DiablO meteorlte, the
largest weighing A,l0O pounds, are
on exhibition at the museum OF
| natural history.
These samples are Of solid nickel
iron-10 per cent nickel, 80 per cent
iron. IT is supposed that the Utah
meteorite, which the Baltimore expe-
dition seeks, is composed OF these
same substances in the same or
slightly different proportions

figures given out by statisticians that
eighteen percent or the total popu'a-
ton of city casts it's vote.
Taking this as a bass, l. is easy
enough to figure out the population
figures. There were 3,045 votes cast

according to the official returns from
City Clerk Sandberg. If this humber
| is eighteen percent, 1863 AMI ( siac-
| ton represents one percent. lnis
multiplied by 100 gives 1890 with
out dealing in fractions, which would

When Keokuk's census figures were
announced as only 14,423, people who
consider themselves in position TO
know said that the population is

FOR ITCHING TORTURE
Use Antiseptic Liquid Ze1no

There is one remedy that seldom
fails to stop itching torture and relieve
skin irritation and that makes the skin
soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
Zemo, which generally overcomes skin
diseases. Eczema, itch, pimples. rashes,
blacllheads, in most cases give way
to Zemo. Frequently, minor blemishes
stops instantly. Zemo is a safe, anti
septic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, $100. 1t will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.

Vermont Democracy as
Seen BY Irwin Cobb

Irwin Cobb, the humorist, wiring
the New World while on his way to
the San Francisco convention said:
"The adjoining car to ours contains
the entire Vermont delegation. When
you snatch eight resident Democrats
out of Vermont at one fell swoop, so
to speak, you make one awful hole in
the embattled Democracy of that
State especially as the Democrats in
Vermont have already suffered two
severe party losses this year. One
died and the other got tired of being
regarded by his neighbors as an &C.
centric chraacter and moved to In
diana.
"Another theory advanced to ac-
count for his departure was that in
the last local election in this county
the Democrat ticket polled two votes
and he was afraid he might be az
rested for repeating. However, the
Velmonters with us are most enthu-
siastic over the pi prospects for Novem-
ber up their way. They have hired
two seven-passenger cars and expect
to get about the full strength OF the
party on election day. If all twelve
of them keep their health a spirited
campaign is predicted"
