ef whom, the largest proportion are

citisens of Zurich. Perfecting Plans.

The president, Dr. L. Hans, and the general secretary, Captain E. Messner, both of this city, are giving much thought and time to perfecting plans for the aeronautic week, which has

the support of the club and the best wishes of many leading Citizens, who have subscribed more than lOO.OOOf. ($20,000) to meet the expenses. The International Aeronautic Federation,' which comprises representatives of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Belgium. Spain, America, France, Great Britain, Italy, Sweden and 'Switzerland, is the superior authority whose rules govern the, con test. The aeronauts taking part in the meeting will gather here on September 29. There will be two small races on October 1, the first one a point to point event and the second a long distance contest. It is possible one or more airships will "come to Zurich at the same time, those of Count Zeppelin and Major von Parseval being mentioned.

SPIDER SILK.

ttm Weadevfal Stress Elasticity - mm Laatla Qnalltr. The astronomer after the experience of many years has found that the spider funflshes tbe only thread which can be successfully used In carrying on his work, writes Ambrose Swazey in tbe Scientific American. Tbe spider lines mostly used are from ene-flfth to one-seventh of a thousandth of an Inch in diameter, and, in addition to their strength and elasticity, they have the peculiar property of withstanding great changes of temperature, and often when measuring ; the sun spots, although the heat is so intense as to crack the lenses of the micrometer eyeplew, yet the spider lines are not In the least Injured. The threads of the silkworm, although of great value as a commercial product, are so- coarse and rough compared with the silk of the spider that they cannot be used in such instruments. - Spider lines, although but a fraction of a thousandth of an inch In diameter, are made up of several thousands of microscopic streams of fluid, which unite and form a single line, and It is because of this that they remain trne and round under the highest magnifying power. What an Earthquake Is.

"An earthquake," writes Frank A.

- Perret. formerly honorary assistant at

the -'Roral Vesuvlan observatory. In

Century, "Is an undulating vibration

of the ground resulting from some sudden movement of the underlying

strata. This may be produced by a volcanic explosion, the breaking of a

stratum of rock under strain or the sudden Intrusion of lava between the strata or Into a fracture, the types re

spectively known as volcanic, tectonic

and Intervolcanic. My own Impression

In experiencing these shocks was that

of a rubbing .together of masses under pressure, which throws the adjoining material into vibration. If you put a little water Into a thin, wide mouthed crystal goblet, wet the finger tip and rub It around the rim, a sound will be produced and the water will be set in vibration like the ground waves of an earthquake."

New York, June 22. One of the witnesses in the Gould trial was the former male valet of Mrs. Gould, Harry J. Veitch of Des Moines, : Iowa. He was a dapper, well dressed type of hotel clerk and said that he was engaged as such in the west. "For ten months I was Mrs. Gould's valet," he said. "During that time 1 was1 with Mrs. Gould in the West Indies, in Europe, at Lynchburg, Castle Gould and at the St. Regis... I went to work for her in December, 1903." Hie duties were to .pack baggage and on one occasion he said he assisted Mrs. Gould at her toilet. ;.--.' "i "I. saw. Mrs. Gould under, the t influence of liquor on more than one occasion," he replied to Mr. Nlcoll.

"Before we went to the St Regis,

Mrs. Gould had some drinks served at

a meal. . The waiter didn't come quick

ly enough. After the meal was over

Mrs. Gould told me to throw the tabl'i into the corridor."

"Did you do it?" "I did, breaking some dishes and not

doing the table much good. Later the

manager of the hotel came up, but he

didn't see Mrs. Gould."

l ne trip to tbe west . Indies was

marked with several instances of Mrs, Gould drinking, but she was never un

der the influence of liquor, the former

valet said. "Mrs. Gould usually drank Manhat

tan cocktails on that trip. She drank

a great many of them."

"After drinking a great many cham

pagne cocktails Mrs. Gould had a Man

hat tan and then ordered the coachman

to drive about the 'grounds' to dis

charge the servants. ' "She asked me if I would untie her shoes and she kicked them off. "When she got back she went to her room. Later that night I went to her room. She was lying on her bed, her hair disheveled. She was snoring and her skirt was up to her knees." "Snoring is hardly ground for abandonment," offered Mr. Shearn," causing a laugh. ".The next day Mrs. Gould sat around drinking lots of ice water," Veitch added. ,

Martinsville, Ind., June 22 Republican politicians of Morgan county are up against a - new proposition and it is one which promises to tax their ingenuity to the utmost. The whole dilemma has been brought about by the peculiar beliefs of the Crabbites, a religious sect ' which holds forth in the hills south of Martinsville along Gose creek and Little Jordan. If the religion of the Crabbites "sticks" it will mean some new method of political maneuvering by the Republican central committee. y The Crabbites, according to Republican leaders who have investigated the question, will refuse to vote,

because It is against their religious be

Hard: Work for Organizers. Heretofore . those who are now

known as - Crabbites have usually voted the Republican ticket, but a ' great

amount ,of organization work has been

required in the Gose creek and Little Jordan country. Expert organizers have been known to work as late as midnight on the night before" the election perfecting little details; in the organizaztlon. But with the Crabbites refusing to V vote - this ..organisation work will be useless. One Republican leader, however, 'believes that the Republicans will be benefited by the new situation. He summed it-up as" follows: t "We can now let Gose creek;, and Little Jordan 1 go-j; without; any. attention.Brother Crabb will take care of things down there. Meanwhile , we . can be putting forth bur best efforts in other parts of the county and can

The metal part came in contact with his leg, leading him to think a snake had taken refuge in his trousers. He grasped the leg about the object, screaming for help. Fellow-workmen cut the fabric with their knives, when Ferrule fainted, from flight and? required assistance to bring him to his

senses. , St. Marys, 6., June ; M.- August Bauer wag standing in a deep ditch beneath an oil rig, hauling old pieces of, cable and other rubbish out, when he grasped a piece of rope which offered unusual resistance. All his strength was required to haul the object to him and coil its folds in his lap, when he discovered it to be a five foot serpent. The rapidity of his ascent from the ditch is declared to ex

souls." -: 8inging Has Ceased.;

. According to this Republican there will be no chance to change the views

of the Crabbites, as the, -Crabbites with their new religion never put themselves in a condition to be influenced.' In the old days they used to come to Martinsville each Saturday and affiliate with one another around the stores and other places and then

go home happy and singing. In this optimistic mood they were easy to approach on any subject and often on election " day could be led' out in a discussion., of politics and .candidates which was highly satisfactory: Now, however, they seldom come to town and when they do they maintain their characteristic dignity and "go home without singing. The Crabbites are pretty strong in the faith. v Allowing rattlesnakes to bite the most enthusiastic- of the church workers is one of the favorite diversions. With proper faith the bitea are harmless, they declare, and

they do not even seek any of -Martinsville's artesian water to heal the wounds.' ' :

Mexico's Rainy Season. -What they call the rainy season In Mexico : comes only in the form of showers, which fall In the afternoon. These showers usually occur every

day, but sometimes there will be two

and in Mexico tbe rainy season la re

The "New 4deaN the Best Manure Spreader: Because it pulverize the manure thoroughly and distributes the same evenly and in a wide stream, making a nice covering and applying it. evenly, as only a machine' equipped. with such a pulverising and distributing mechanism as The New Idea, can do. Because should the pulverizing, cylinders have missed or not fully fined up a particle of manure, it will get a second pulverization from the rapid rotating distributer. So we always have two chances to one of the other machines in pulverizing tough and chunky manure. Because such' a machine is a profitable Investment, as it gets the value out of the manure, where a poor pulverizer and spreader is a lees to the user. -Think of this when buying: Because the machine 1 a simple and substantial one, having all the weak parts wed out during the years of testing, experimenting, - building ' and - selling them, consequently a time-tried machine, a machine made to work and to last, if. you take anything like good care of It, though it is not built as clumsy or heavy as a traction engine or road roller, and you have not always a load going to the field and coming back empty. ' Because the front and hind wheels track and are not farther : apart than a farm wagon gear, though the machine spreads wider than tho widest bed machine. So your machine will go through ', any place where the farm wagon will go through. Because its front and hind axles are connected by a strong reach or coupling pole, well braced, same as the-farm wagon. No front axle or truck can draw away under the machine when manuring eroasways over the field, or driving through cross-furrows, ditches and rough places. No strain on the bed, but the draft Is on the reach only. Front wheels turn under the bed up to the reach.
