tirement bill could not be passed.
Pandemonium reigned in the house.
Every republican was on his feet
shouting for the North Carolina con-
gresham to consent to the motion.
In the deafening babel of voices it
was possible to discern only that the
republicans were determined not to
take up the contest election until the
retirement bill had been done away
with. But there was not time for
both.
Wilson Makes Sacrifice.
The solution came at last and from
a quarter least expected. James Will
son, the defendant in the contest
arose. Not even his closest friends
knew the course he intended to take.
The house was quiet.
II am willing to be sacrificed" he
said.
For O second there was silence,
then, when the full meaning of his
! sacrifice burst upon the members.
there was cheering from all sides.
In less than five minutes, without
roll call and without division the
resolution seating Frederick was
passed and he was sworn In as a
membe" of the house. Ten minutes
later he cast his first and only vote
in that congress. which was for the
Grant retirement bill. Had it not
be9n for Grants serious illness, it is
doubtful whether he would have been
declared n member of the Forty
eighth congress.
Principals All Now Dead.
Mr.. Frederick was one ofSthe pio-
neers in the iron business In the city
He was the founder of the foundry
at Second avenue and Linn street
that afterwards was developed into
the A. Z. Shorthill Company and the
buildings of which are now occupied
by the Central Foundry Company
Mr.. Frederick died several years age
in California. Shortly following his
death came that of his political
manager, Byron Webster, and the re
cent death>of James Wilson removes

Peace to Be Declared.
1t is not improbable that a COM
plete understanding between tho
Three-I League and the promoters OF
the new organization will have been
reached before any step is taken
looking to the formation of an Iowa
circuit. Such an understanding,
possibly, already may have been had.

In harmony, would do much to pro-

the tri-cities and Cedar Rapids, and

find berths in one organization and

season with a perfect understanding
as to territorial rights.

Are Sound Waves Visible?

Considerable interest has been
shown of late with respect to the
possible visibility of sound waves. A

curious incidents which seems to in

perceptible to the eye. A well known

REGULAR CYCLES OF THOUGHT
Might Be Described as Periodical
Waves Passing Through and Agi-
tating the Human Mind.

Just as we find a mathematical rule
at many of the bodily movements, just
so thought may be supposed to have
fits regular cycles. Such or such
thought comes round periodically, In
it's turn. Accidental suggestions, how
ever, so far interfere with the regular
cycles, that we may find them prac-
tically beyond our power of Tecogni-
ton. Take all this for what it is
worth, but at any rate you will agree
that there are certain particular
thoughts that do not come up once a
day, nor once week, but that year
would hardly go round without your
having them pass through your mind.
Here is one which comes up at inter-
walls in this way. Some one speaks OF
1t, and there is an instant and eager
smile of assent in the listener or listen
ers. Yes, indeed; they have often
been struck by it.
All at once a conviction flashes
through us that we have been in the
same precise circumstances as at the
present instant. once or many times be-
fore.-Oliver Wendell Holmes.

TAI SHAN A SACRED PLACE
Chinese Mountain Said to Be the
Oldest Permanent Place OF
Worship on Earth.

There are FIVE sacred mountains in
China, and the most sacred of all is
Tai Shan. the Great mountain. said to
be the oldest permanent place Of wor-
ship in the world In 1000 b. Q. Tai
Shan's crest had been regular scene
of sacrifices and prayers for nobody
knew how long. Emperors and lesser
officials. even Confucius the Wise,
journeyed up the long. narrow trail of
Tai Shan to come near to the God OF
Heaven and Earth and made their
prayers before Him.
Since those days of simple worship,
many temples and shrines have been
built on Tai Shan's slopes. Buddhism.
Taoism, Confucianism, all are repre-
scented, and there are temples, too. to
the Lady of the Mountain, who Is
called by some a fairy. by others
goddess, and by others the spirit
or soul of the mountain. Whatever
her character, the lady Is well repre-
scented on her mountain top and her
shrines are popular.
The journey up the mountainside Is
accomplished by the traveller partly in
a swinging chair supported by Chinese
bearers and partly on foot. The way
consists of a granite walk, interrupted
every little while by flights of steps
which stretch on and on and become
sleeper and closer together until the
pilgrim has mounted 5000 STEPS and
the peak of Tai Shan is reached.
Here there are more temples and
thick incense and grave old priests
who announce a pilgrims presence to
the gods by ringing deep-toned bells.
A little way off is pointed out rock
overhanging a sheer precipice. From
this rock, called 1.-THE Rock of the Love
of Life" persons who had sick rela-
tives used to fling themselves, hoping
that the sacrifice OF one life would
appease the gods so that the other
would be spared. Now the dangerous
cliff is barred, and pilgrims are forced
to appeal to the gods in the conven-
tional Chinese methods.

To Keep castaways Dry.

Louis o. Anderson has invented a
storm cover for boats which, when
adjusted, covers both boat and rover
so completely that waves and rain will
roll off it as water rolls off a ducks
back. The suit, which includes a
headpiece, is made full at its junctura
with the rubberized cover, says the
Popular Science Monthly, so that the
oarsman may try to paddle with one
of the oars while sitting in the stern
with the tail spread out behind him.
His other oar makes a backbone for
the cover.
