rfajorities of a presidential election.
With very few exceptions. the con.

This is especially true in view OF

OF this contest was reflected in the makeup of the
house, the Republicans having a majority of only
eight. The off-year in the middle of Harrison's
term was most disastrous TO the Republicans. The
Democrats had a landslide in the congressional
elections, carrying the house by a majority of 147.
This is one of four times since the Civil war that
either party has had n majority Of over 100 in the
house. This Democratic majority was reduced to
9l in the presidential election of 1892 when Cleye-
land was again victorious.
In 1894 occurred what went down in history as
the great Republican landslide. 1t gave the Re
publicans control of the house by a margin of a.
This marked the beginning OF sixteen years of con-
tinuous control of the house by the Republican
party. Its high tide during this period was the
first congress under Roosevelt, which had n Re
publican majority of iii. The year of McKinley's
first election saw the Republicans carry the house

carry it by AZ. The ~off.years following each of his

GOOD JOKE ON DANISH KING
Monarch Jumped Too Quickly to Con-

Denmark's recent visit to Greenland

Danish legation, to members of the
Danish club in London.
AS the royal yacht was approaching
Greenland dark speck became visible

board and his loyalty in having braved
the perils of the sea in such a frail
craft assured him the warmest of well
comes. The king presented him with
a cigar and, what the EskimOs most
highly prize, a rifle.
On landing, the king described the
incident to the Danish commissioner

man was.
The commissioner, in accents of hor-

The possible far-reaching results of
Rutherford's discovery were discussed
as follows by Professor o. w. Rich

Rutherford has taken the direct
method of bOmbarding the nuclei of
the different atoms with the equally
minute high-velocity helium nuclei
(alpha particles) given off by radio
active substances, and examining the
tracks of any other particles which
may be generated as a result of the
impact.
The amounts of energy which have
been thus far released by artificial
disintegration of the nuclei are them
selves small, but they are enormous In
comparison with the minute amount
of matter affected.

intensified there appears to be two
possibilities. Either they will prove

ably spell the end of all things, or

Learns Secret
of Arrow Heads

the break at the top of the fat-sur-
faced stone the longer would be the
break in the stone, but it would be
CORRESPONDENCE wide. They wished,
however, long, narrow piece as more
suitable for an arrow head.
'They then found that by breaking
the stone at a corner they could pro-
duce such a flake (raw arrow head)
one, two, or even FIVE times it's width,
according to the skill of the artisan.
Such an arrow head always has a
ridge on one side and the other side
smooth. The ridge is the corner Of
the stone from which the fake was
broken.
Next, the Indian found that in fin
ishing the arrow head, If the stone
breaks easier from one direction on
the top, it would break just as easily
from the other on the bottom. This
gave rise to the belief that arrow
heads were made to revolve. Such was
the same natural popularity appears
in spear heads, which are too heavy
to revolve, as spears were seldom ex-
pected to go more than a few times
their length.
"These principles being true of all
stone used by the Indians, it is an evi-
dent impossibility for any collector to
tell what tribe made certain arrow or
spear heads. The width, depth and
thickness, determined by the depth of
the fracture of the stone, determine
the shape and appearance of the fin
ished product"
ebert Center i'm Illinois.
Most of the arrow heads of the
north Mississippi valley, Mr.. Fay said,
were made of ebert, a chalky flint,
taken from the quarries in Union
county, Illinois, near Cairo. The bluffs
at that place along the Mississippi
river show outcroppings of this ebert
and prolific evidences of the activity
of Indians, who went there from all
parts of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and
Wisconsin, he added.
LESS than I per cent of the arrow
heads found In TINS VIDE territory,
Mr.. Fay continued, "seem to have been
made from local stone. The Union
county quarries have been determined
as the principal source because arrows
found throughout that region cOrre-
sponded exactly to the quality of the
Union county stone. 1t is not known
whether expert flake makers held
the quarries in Union county and dis
tributed material to tribes as they
came down, or whether each tribe had
its flake makers and visited the quar-
ries periodically.
Implements used by Indians in max
ing arrow heads, according to Mr.. Fay,
were made with one tool, piece of
bone somewhat like the handle of a

INDIAN CHIEFS LOSE TRICK
Many of Them Confess Their Igno-

Tribal Marks.

Misunderstanding of Indian ar
row heads has been reduced to its
first principles here by Herbert Wells
Fay, custodian Of the Lincoln monu-
ment, who has gained the distinction
which it is said until now has been
undisputed, of being the only white
man to make real arrow heads.
Indians are among the foremost in
crediting Mr.. Fay with this ability
Drawn to the last resting place OF
Abraham Lincoln, various present-day
Indian chiefs have openly confessed
their ignorance of lust how to make
arrow heads, and then have voiced
their surprise at the excellent work
manship of the white man.
Finding that his arrows have been
taken for the work of real Indians,
Mr.. Fay no longer makes arrows OF
flint, but to prevent fraud uses only
glass.
Worked Near DekaIb.
His study of arrow heads was
gained largely near his former home
at Dekalb, in which vicinity, he said,
there had been seven Indian camps.
Mr.. Fay takes issue with other au-
thorities who say arrow heads may be
identified by their shape as the work
of a particular tribe. Years of study
and the actual making of arrows prove
otherwise, Mr.. Fay declares.
His conclusions as to arrow-making
are outlined as follows: Indians first

choidal fracture Qike the inside of a
