Beveridge, the republican nominee for

pretty largely on oratory IN the pri-

another matter. and, besides all that,
there are several on the ticket De-

The business of raising money at
the statehouse has already been be-
gun, and employees, from stenogra-
pliers and tanitors up to the higher
ones. are being assessed regular
is done by the republicans, of course.
because there is a republican state
administration. 1t is said, however,
that Gov. McCray has nothing to DO
with the money raising. and, in fact.
that he has declared that any person
who does not desire TO pay an assess

Usually. though. the party leaders find
some way to persuade" everybody to
come across.

Democrats have been conducting a
systematic canvass over the state for
money. and it il presumed that
Thomas Taggart, former national
chairman. will lend a hand when the
time comes. Mr.. Taggart in the past
has been very good to the party
when the occas sion demanded, but. OF
course. the party leaders do not wish
to bear down on him any harder than
Is necessary. Samuel NJ. Ralston, tht
democratic nominee for United States
senator, might be called political
child OF Mr.. TagEart. Taggart mas

Ralston has been IN politics and Rails

Of Indiana largely to the political
management of MIR. Taggart. Later
Mr. Ralston had the opportunity to

Home.

The Chinese not only eat the meat
Of tho birds but they also eat the nests
of certain kind of swallow. collocalia
esculenta, which are found in caves
and damp places in some islands OF the
Indian Archipelago. This bird macer-
ates the material Of the nest from
seaweed, chiefly tho gelidium, and
builds It by drawing the food out in
flbres. which are attached TO the damp
stone with its bill.
These nests are shaped not unlike
that of the house swallow, save that
they rarely reach three or four inches
In diameter. The Chinese make a soup
OF these nests. The birds nest soup"
as 1t is commonly known, is considered
to be delicacy OF the highest grade !;
and In appearance It greatly resembles
isinglass.
In addition TO using birds as food
the Chinese keep them as pets. Their
fondness for birds is one Of the most
pleasant features of their national
character. Birds furnish them with
much amusement.

An event OF tho year 1883 illustrates
this statement in persuasive way. One
Of the worst volcanic eruptions known
in history took place in that year. In
SumatrA the volcano Krakatoa awak-
ened with an explosion that caused the
loss Of about 10000 lives. Volcnic mat
ter was thrown out into the atmosphere
TO a height Of 100000 feet. The finer
particles OF these volcanic ashes re-
manned for long time in the high lay
ers Of the atmosphere as dust and were
distributed around the earth. They have
been found in Europe and America.
They manifested themselves by sur
prising evening glow observed through
out the whole world After sunset the
sky was tinged with splendid colors and
the glow purpled the heavens until late
into the night proof that dust par
ticles Ms nuclei OF condensed water glob-
liles we're at a great height in the

this phenomenon WAS 80 conspicuous
that everybody could admire the un-
usual spectacle. Careful observers found
the influence Of the eruption on the
evening glow until 1886, when oil the
volcanic dust had settled.
