SENATOR LAFOLLETTE DEAD

WASHINGTON, D. c., June. 1s-
Senator Robert M. LaFollette for
many years storm petrol of politics
died here today.
Death resulted at 11.21 A. NJ. from
heart failure induced by a general
breakdown and an attack of bronch-
al asthma.
The Wisconsin Senator and later
Independent Presidential candidate
began failing in health even before
the 1924 campaign Several weeks
ago he contracted a severe cold
which depeloped into asthma. As
his heart, which, had been unable to
stand the strain, gave way during the
night, and he sank rapidly after day
light today
Although they realized the serious
ness of Senator LaFollette's condi-
tion, members of his family had
hoped until today that he would re-
cover.
Last night his physicians said he
was resting, but nevertheless he
took quick and decided turn for the
worse in the night hours and hope
was abandoned.
Long Sufferer
Senator La Toilette long was a
victim of aginia prtectoris, a heart
ailment, and this, with his asthmatic
attack caused him to suffer greatly
from shortness of breath. Violent
coughing spells accompanied his i'll
ness.
Almost to the last, however, he in
sisted on cheerful reports being Civ
en- out as to his illness and it was
not until yesterday that it was ad-
mitted that his condition was SER
ious.
After all the storms of his long
career, he passed away very quietly,
surrounded by members of his fam
lily. He was conscious almost until
death, but for several hours had been
able to speak only in whispers to
those about him.
Shortly before the end he mustered
all his waning strength in vain eff
fort to murmur a last word to those
at the bedside. Then he lapsed into
uncohsciousness and, without any
evidence of pain, passed almost i'm
mediately from life.
Mrs La. Toilette and their two
sons and daughters were close about
him in the sick room throughout the
morning until death. 1t is the pre-
sent plan to take the body to Madi-
son for burial.

Why Rosira in Paper

Rosin is used in the manufacture Of
paper to make it water resistant" so
that 1t will be resistant to writing ink.
For this purpose common rosin Is
treated with soda, rosin soap being
formed which is combination of so
dium resinate and free rosin and which
is soluble in water. This material Is
added to the paper stock in the form
of a dilute solution in water. Alu-
minum sulphate is then added to the
paper stock, this precipitating the rosin
in very finely divided form, the pre-
cipitate consisting Of a mixture Of
aluminium resinate and free resin
which, when the paper sheet is dried,
forms a waterproof film over the pa
per fiber.

Why Sleeper En1its
Noises That Annoy

A writer in the weekly bulletin of
the Chicago department of health,
says that snoring seems to be par
titularly human attribute, and says
that there Is little in medical litera-
ture relating to it. He says snoring
is due to vibration of the soft palate
snd uvula, produced by deep inspira-
tion and expiration through the nose
and open mouth.
The sleeper, if normal, sleeps with
his mouth closed, breathing naturally
through the nostrils, which prevents
the vibration of the loose tissues Of
the throat. Snoring, as a rule, In
dicates a disturbance Of the breath
ing apparatus, especially obstruction
in the nose that prevents the sleeper
from keeping the mouth closed.
In children, the writer says, snor-
ing is commonly an indication of en-
larged adenoids and tonsils.

Polish Government Has
Four Big MonopoIies

New York.-The establishment of q
match monopoly by the Polish govern
ment, which, as recently announced,
will be operated for 20 years Jointly
by an American and Swedish corpora
ton, brings the number of state
monopolies in Poland to four. The
others are alcohol, tobacco and salt.
Revenues from the existing monop-
olies during the first quarter of 1925,
official reports received by the Ameri-
can-PoIish chamber of commerce
show, amounted to $15,O0O,0OO The
budget estimates for the current year
anticipate total net receipts from the
existing monopoly, at $78,000,0O0
Profits from the monopolies will con-
stitute about 18 per cent of the gov
ernment's revenues this year.
The alcohol monopoly is expected to
yield $20,0OO,0O0 In 1925, the first year
of its operation.

against it, nor tried to use it ignobly.

what l have sown. While | delved

meat for my body, I did not neglect
to gather it's bread and meat for my
soul. I have climbed it's mountains,
roamed it's forests, sailed its waters.

it's frosts, the oppression Of it's heats,
and always have beauty and Joy

Why Sounds Vary

Syllables ending in ing" are the
most difficult for human ears to grasp,
while those with "s," "w," and "y'
apparently are the easiest. These
conclusions have been reached through
recent scientific investigations, says
Popular Science Monthly. In tests
with large audience in an acoustical-
ly poor auditorium, only 48 per cent
caught sounds such as ting" and
bong" while from 90 to 100 per cent
were right on sounds like wis" and
"yox." The sounds 3D." "b" and eth"
made a poor score.

mon fish, the uiarnyha, though usually
not over a foot long, has teeth so
sharp and jaws SO powerful that 1t
often severed three or four strands of
copper wire with which each hook was
attached to lines. Because Of this nsh
swimming was not popular.
"The largest animal that furnished
fresh meat was the danta or tapir,
some of which were shot for food.
Wild pigs, monkeys and smaller AMI
mails were fairly easy to get.
"The real owners of the Amazon
basin," he continued, "are the ants
big, little black, red, with stings and
with wings Weight or bulk consld-
cred, certain small stinging ants,
though not dangerous, can produce
more irritation than almost any other
carrier of venom, while the bite of the
larger ants is far more dreaded than
that of the scorpion. Scorpions were
plentiful and many members OF the
expedition were stung by them but
with little harmful effect. From get
ting several thousand assorted bites
and stings and being frequently IN
warm river water ones blood suffers
some change, SO that it is necessary
to watch stings, scratches or cuts care
fully to prevent tropical ulcer. Al
most all natives bear the marks or
these ulcers"
A custom of the country, Captain
Stevens said, was to tie boys of four
teen to fifteen into a sack filed with
stinging ants. Those who survived
this test are recognized as having ar
rived at manhood's estate.
Captain Stevens said that the eXpedl-
ton lived largely on the native farlna,
or meal, and dried meats.
For Thanksgiving dinner Stevens
and Hinton flew back down the Rio
Branco to settlement where they
could get bacon and cheese, which
had to substitute for turkey and cram
berry sauce.
The Rice expedition left New York
last March and went by steamer to Ma
naOs, which is on the Rio Negro just
north of it's confluence with the Anna
zon. Two seaplanes which had been
shipped from New York were as
sembled at Manaos in June.
The explorers followed the Negro
to it's confluence with the BrancO,
which they then followed until it ran
into the Uraricoera This they fol-
lowed to it's junction with the Parma,
and this junction was as far as white
men had previously gone. 1t was at
the junction that Stevens and Hinton
saw the last Of the natives. For the
12O miles Of unexplored land over
which they next flew they saw no
signs of life until they came to the
clearings at the end.
Doctor Rice and his followers prob
ably will have had some difficulty trav-
cling over this 12O-mile stretch, said
Stevens, because of rapids and water
| falls. It will probably take the ex-
pedition weeks to cover the ground
| that he and Hinton flew over in few
hours, he added.
Captain Stevens said he and Hinton
discovered the source of the Parma
about 3 degrees north of the equator
and GA degrees west longitude, on
March 9. This ended the aviators
work and they flew back to Manaos
where Hinton remained to take the
planes apart and ship them back to
New York.
Captain Stevens said that Doctor
Rice will return to civilization early
this summer unless he delays to in
vestigate a recently discovered land
slide, on another tributary of the ANA
zon, which has uncovered large fos
siliZed skeletons.

Why ShadouUs Form

A shadow is formed when rays of
light are Obstructed by an Opaque
body Rays of light radiate in straight
lines in all directions. AS man ap-
proaches a street lamp the light shines
on his face, and therefore his body
casts a shadow behind In passing the
lamp the shadow naturally moves with
the man, so that when he is in front Of
the lamp the rays of light strike his
back and therefore cause the shadow
to fall before him.
