There has been a revival of the question as to whether the bill lor the admiaalon of Oklahoma and Indian Territory aa H passed the Benate will be mado a rider on an appropriation bill, Ihla talk has been going on for some time, but was given more attention today because the proportion was broached by one of the clow friends of the president. Hut no suggestion of this kind was made by the president, so it was stated. In WILL ADJOURN EARLY. Congress Not Likely to Contlnuo aession Aftor Juno IB. WaBhlngton, May 22.-PrOBon Indl cations point to an adjournment of con greas about tho 16th of June. Tho great dobato of tho eeealon has been brought to a close, the railroad rato bill has been paaaod by the senate, and tho way Is now clear lor tho regular ap propriation bills and other Important legislation that demands conelderat'ion. In tho houao of representatives tuo work Is up to dato. All of tho bite an- proprlatlon bills, except tho sundry civil bill, havo been passed by that nouy, and this last bill will bo reported 10 tno boueo Juat as soon as tho house Is ready to reeoivo it. At tho outside two weeks is ample to pass this bill and two unimportant appropriation bills yet to bo considered, the general doilclency and tho diplomatic. in tho eonate appropriation bills a . . . . nave Jagged behind on account of tbo debate on the rato bill, vet In snita of this protracted discussion tho senate has found opportunity to pass the urgen cy deficiency, pension, fortifications, army and Indian appropriation bills, and will mako short work of those now awaiting consideration, namely, the postoffico, agricultural, leglflatlvo, Dis trict of Columbia and military academy bills. Tho Benato, In apito of its ropu tation for long debatoi, can dispose of appropriation bills In remarkably Bhort porioda when tho time for adjournment approaches. It always doea. So the legielatlve program, co far aa the ap proprlation bills ia concerned, may bo conaidercd in such abapo aa to permit adjournment by tho middle of Juno. It is tho appropriation bills that deter mine the length of the session after all, for when tho last of these bills Is agreed to congress always adjourns, unless it happens to bo in extra session, called for some special purpose. The conference committee having the rato bill In charge is not likely to re port inside of two weeks, but In the end tho house will jirobably accept the CRsential senate amondmentB, including that offered by Senator Allison. Tho iact that the president approves this arnondmont will be ample justification for the houae to give its assent, and the further fact that practically all th? othor amendments meet with the ap proval of the president will insure their final adoption. NEWS OF THE WEEK In a Condensed Form lor Easy Readers, On: HAPPENINGS OF TWO CONTINENTS EXPENSES CUT IN ZION. Salaries of Overseers Reduced From $300 to 860 Per Month. Chicago, May 22 W. G. Voliva, tho present head of the Christian Cath olic Church, announced to his followers In Bion City Sunday that between Jan uary 15 and May 10 he had reduced the expenses In tho financial department of tbo church from $9,800 per month to 13,832 per month. This saving, ho raid, had been brought about by a re duction of the working fo'ce and a cut n the salaries of tboao retained. In tho satno manner, said Voliva, a saving had been mado in the ecclesias tical department that would amount to $70,000 annually. Oversers who had been rccolvlng $300 per month were reducod to $00. Tho pay of others was cut in proportion. His own com pensation under tho new adjustment, Voliva said, waa $100 per month. Thcao facta, ho said, were some of the details of a report which bo mado Sat urday to a committee appointed by Federal Judgo Landls to investigate the condition of the industries in Zion City.

The battleship Kcarsargo on which seven men met death through tho accidental discharge of a quantity of powder In one of the gun turrets during target practice off the coast of Cuba, Is one of the most powerful fighting craft of the United States navy. When she went Into commission six years ago she attracted much attention among the naval experts because of a peculiarity In her construction, tho placing of tho turrets for the eight-Inch gtins directly on top of the turrets carrying the thlrteen-Inch rifles, a plan which nroused considerable controversy. The Kearsarge was launched at Newport News, Va., March 24, 1898. She measures 308 feet on the water line, 72 feet beam and her draught Is 23 feet 0 Inches, with a displacement of 11,52 tons. She has a speed of sixteen knots an hour, the Indicated, horse power being 10,000. Her battery consists of four thlrteen-Inch guns, four of the eight-Inch type and twelve of the five-Inch In the main battery, with twenty slx-pounders, sir one poundera nnd four machine guns In the secondary battery. By a Judicious arrangement of the guns, much weight was saved, which was devoted to un usually heavy armor. With this extra protection the Kcarsargo Is unusually light In draught for a battleship and can go In shoal water where many an other lighter craft would be unable to follow her. Science ' vention This quaint prescription was printed In "An Old Lady's Pharmacopcela," pub lished by Mrs. Delamy In 1758: "Does Mary cough at night? Two or three snails boiled in her barley water or tea water or whatever she drinks might be of great service to her. Taken In time, they have done wonderful cures. But Mary must know nothing of It I" Gentlnn root, often used as n tonic, Is considered In many malarial coun tries a remedy against Intermittent fe ver. Especially Is this the case In Cor sica In that section of tho Island near tho town of Alerla, which Is Infested with mnlarla. The Inhabitants recent ly protested violently against tho Intro duction of quinine on the part of the medical authorities, declaring that they would not abandon tho remedy which had been used among them for centur ies, the gentian root either powdered or simply masticated. Of the modern tendency to flock to the cities a writer says: "In 1801 not more than 30 per cent of the entire pop ulation of England lived In towns and embarked in urban Industries; to-day they who dwell In cities form more than 00 per cent of the whole. On the other hand, In 1801 the percentage of the nation who lived In strictly rural districts nnd were occupied in ngrlcul turnl nnd rural pursuits amounted to 52 per cent of the whole population to-day it has descended to the alarming level of not more than IS per cent" Some years ago the addition of mols ture to furnace-heated air was found by Dr. II. J. Barnes of Boston to make n room comfortable at a temperature several degrees lower. In his recent Investigation in Southeastern Nebras ka, G. A. Loveland has shown that the air of n house of fourteen thousand cu bic feet should receive from twenty to forty quarts of water dally, and that this evaporation does not Increase the relative humidity by more than ten per cent Tho humidity Indoors should not exceed about forty per cent otherwise there will he troublesome condensation on the windows. The degree to which solids slowly In termlx Is one of tho recent surprising discoveries. A New Zealand teacher mentions tho dark patches which ap pear opiwslte tho steel wlndlng-stemson the Inside of silver watch cases forty or fifty years old, tests showing that these patches nre iron, which has vajwrlzed, dissolved in the silver, and diffused In to the solid metal. Still moro remark- nble Is an instance of the penetration of carbon Into porcelain. Fresh pencil mnrks are easily removed frdm an old porcelain writing tablet, but some notes written forty years ago have sunk luto tho tablet to considerable depth and cannot bo erased. Tho electron, as defined by Professor Soddy, Is nn electrical conception that has been applied to matter. It Is a definite "charge" tho smallest possible of negative electricity, nnd Its prop erties, unllko those of the ntom, nre al wnys tho same. It Is a particle, small er than tho ntom, which was long re garded as tho smallest division of nn element Ench ntom of matter must normally contain at least one electron, nnd It may loso this or tnko on nt lenst ono moro without grent change. With ono or moro electrons less than tho nor mal, tho ntom becomes positively charg ed, or a positive Ion; while nn atom with ono or moro electrons in excess Is a negative Ion. Whllo the transmutation of elements nt will is still n dream, tho alkali met als havo given J. J. Thomson a sugges tion of control of tho change. Emission from theso metals In light has beon long known, and bo has now proven that they give off Blow electrons, or Beta rays, oven In darkness, and that the process Is greatly Influenced by light, beat nnd chemical forces. These net a8 detonators, splitting up atoms which havo become unstable. This atomic breaking up Is thought to bo going on In all matter, with the setting free of enormous energy, and It Is cal culated that If the action extends throughout the earth, the emission by every ntom of an electron once in n thousand million years would account for the earth's Internal heat The atomic modification may explain the "fatigue" of platinum and other sub stances after long incandescence. MADE $6,000 ON HI8 FARM. How a Retired I-niryer Profited 1b Sew Venture. "I am no longer a practicing attor ney, but n plain farmer, as you may Judge from my uniform. I concluded that If your advice was good for a few acres It ought to bo better for tho 400," says a writer In Fanning. "Tho cleaning, plowing nnd sowing cost me $2 per acre; the seed cost $1 per acre. I .cannot yet give you tho figures for the cutting, curing and bal ing, but they won't amount to more than the expenses of putting the crop in. Now, Judging from what we al ready have baled, nnd making a care ful nnd conservative estimate, I havo 700 tons of first-class pea-vine hay which Is contracted for nt $12 per toll. The roots aud stubble have Improved' tho soil to a very great degree." In conclusion, It may be said that cow-peas are adapted to any rotation scheme, any style of farming, to reno vation of worn-out land, to the upbuild ing of any soil, for stock food, for mar ket, for profit The agitation for In creased acerage has been going on for some years, but the spread of this in valuable crop has been slow Indeed when Its many advantages are consid ered. With tho growing scarcity of la bor and the necessity of obtaining larg er yields nnd more profit from a small er acreage, cow-peas are bound to take n place as a leading crop In any rota tion or diversification scheme In the Southern States. A Pointed Reminder. There Is an old story of tho man who "knew every rock In the channel," nnd when a fearful Jar came, said, "There's one of them now!" Ills sys tem was not wholly unlike that pur sued by Miss Abigail Snears for tho purpose of strengthening her brother's memory. "When you've kent house for tlia minister as long ns I have for Brother James, my dear, you'll know all men have to be reminded of things day aftor day," said Miss Abigail, to the minis ters bride. "Now there was the table in Brother- James' room. He was nlwavs kuoek- Ing it over when he went Into his room in tho dnrk, till I devised a means to remind him of It" "How did you do It?" naked tho bride, with gratifying eagerness. Miss Abigail beamed with the nrldo of a successful Inventor. "Why, It was simple enough." bIiq said. "I used to keep it parallel with the shape of tho room. the walls, I mean, till one day I bethought mo how I could set It cornerwlse. and the corners are remarkably sharp. And do you know, my dear, Jnmes has grown so careful that there Isn't more than ono night In four now that ho haB to call on mo to help him." "To help him!" echoed tho brlflo- "How, Miss Spears?" "To bring him tho liniment mv dear," said Miss Abigail, Impatiently. "Don't you understand? IIo not onlv tipped It over, but he tho contact was really quite painful. There's always somo such easy way to help a man re mcmbor, but It requires a little, thought" This Never Happened, "I supposo you aro enjoying your va cation," said the friend. "Yes." answered the member of Con gress. "I am happy In seeing others enjoy themselves. It gives mo pleasure to think of tho relief experienced bv pooplo who do not havo to listen to my speeches." Waahlngton Star. What has become of tho old-fash ioned motto that used to baug over the dltflng room door?
