University Of Michigan Professor 9th

After Heavy Rainstorm.

Reports from Lexington, Ky, that
hundreds Of angle worms from two
to Ave inches long fell from the clouds
during a rainstOrm there, were de-
clared to be Inaccurate by Professor
Peter Okkelberg of the faculty of the
University Of Michigan.
The worms probably crawled up

lure Of the rain, according to Professor
Okkelberg. Cases have been known.
however. according to the professor,
in which cyclones or tOrnadoes have
created such suction in the air that
worms and fish have been picked up
from ponds and lakes and dropped a
considerable distance away.
According to the Lexington story,
the worms were incubated by the warm
winds from the moisture in the air
while being waited in clouds. This
is an impossible assumption, according
to Professor Okkelberg.

were specified and ehe misdemeanors
that were alleged, consisted almost
wholly of the presidents attempts to
remove Stanton without the consent OF
the senate.
This most Important trial in Ameri-
can history began on March 5, 1858,
with the senate chamber crowded and
Chief Justice Chase Of the Supreme
court In the chair.

was confident to the last that he

His inaugural is said to have been
written and his cabinet selected, with
General Butler of Massachusetts for

As the roll of the senate was called,
amid hushed suspense, the Republic

until the chief justice asked, "Mr.

NoiseIess Coins.

1t Is quite probable that the twen-
tieth century will soon see a new type
of coin, noiseless and clean, which may
replace the metal ones, which become
grimy and dingy with use. If expert
ments now being conducted at the roy
al factory at Neissen are successful,
Germany may have and mark coins
in constant circulation. The expert
ments, carried, on at the request Of
the ministry of finance, give promise
of feasibility, as the composition Ia
light and compact and while as wash
able as cups and saucers, is perfectly
durable. 1t is said that these coins
would, be difficult to counterfeit he

quired for their minting.

A NDREW JOHNSON'S presidency
"A began with great tragedy and
came near ending in another. with
a two-thirds majority In congress, his
opponents overrode his vetoes, seized
control Of reconstruction, stripped the
president Of authority to dismiss
postmaster or to get rid Of an enemy
even in his own cabinet, and bound
him hand and foot.
though the president faithfully ex-
-uted the reconstruction laws that
had been passed over his vetoes. he
asserted the right, which never before
had been denied president, to choose
his own cabinet advisers. When he
tried to dismiss Secretary Stanton,
Stanton turned the war department In
to a fort, and for weeks held it, night
and day, sleeping and eating at his
post.
Emotion having supplanted reason,

had shocked Charles Sumner into
starting a whispered discussion of his
enforced resignation. When he be-
came president his intemperance In
speech lent color to exaggerated re-
ports Of his intemperance in drink.
For two years before Lincoln died,
the radical leaders had been insisting
that congress, not the president, should
fix the terms of peace for the south
ern states. They had angrily de-
nounced him as a despot, an autocrat
and usurper, because Of his policy
Of reconstruction. And congress had
persistently refused to admit the SEN
ators and representatives from the
states which he had reconstructed on
his liberal plan.
Apart from the Republican politi-
clans and a mere faction of extrem-
lists, the north was in favor Of Lin
coins moderate policies. But when
1t became a question between Johnson
and the radicals, the radicals won over
whelmingly in the congressional cleo
ton Of 1866.
With a two-thirds majority in the
new house and senate, the Republicans
overrode the presidents vetOes, and
congress took command of the govern
ifiShf. The reconstructed states were
cutlawed. The south was divided into
military provinces. The ballot was
thrust into the unskillful hand Of the
freedmen, notwithstanding It was still
denied the negro in al but six states
Of the north. At the same time q
large class of Southern whites was dis
fFancEised for disloyalty In the war,
which left several states to pass under
