i 11 fart Tr at Daily Democrat Plants cinnot live without leaves. It i through them that they breathe and if they are taken off the plants will be more or lets injured, while it they are kept off, the plants will die for want of breath. Hence clean work in cutting off the topof weeds just above the ground will kill them out. The Iowa crop report for the past week shows that the cold weather has greatly retarded the growth of corn all over the Male. Smull grain has not been Injured. Fruits have not been so much injured. It h the same generally in Illineis. The council between representatives of the Sioux Indians and the government commissioners,relative to the proposed sale of a portion f the Sioux reservation for settlement, is now in session, but it appears that the Indians are considerably offish and nt very ready to come to terms. The stockmen's association of south western Texas has rcsolied that the tariff ought to be removed frem leather goods or put back on hides. This moves the St Louis Republic to say : "Fair and softly, gentlemen. Stick to the original proposi tion. It isall right. The alternative isall wrong. Free hides have been a great thing for the country. We are now export ing $10,000,000 a year in leather goods on account of free hides. The country needs this money. The manufacturers need raw material. Free raw material should come first. When the manufacturer gets that the rest will come with a little patient work and wailing." In the state of Illinois it is said that near ly S,ooo,ooo acres of farming lands are en cumbered, the mortgages aggregating the enormous sum of $U4,ooo,oo. Michigan, a state not near so wealthy as Illinois, has mortgages or. her farm lands aggregating over $t3o.ooo,cco,and we are told that.tak ing the state as a whole,one-half of all the firms are mortgaged, and in the new por tions fully three-fourths. Such figures are terribly significant. What a sickening s:ory they teli of ill-paid labor.of pinching economy, of actual want ! And yet there are sections of the country worse off by far than Illinois and Michigan not one, but many and some of them where not only does the mortgage rest upon the farm, but the crop is usually pledged long in advance of the harvest. Officials in criminal courts who take the trouble to make a study of jurors can usually tell just what sort ofaverdict a jury will give as soon as its members return after deliberati-g upon a case. There is always something in their faces which indicates to the experienced eye whether the verdict is guilty or not guilty. "This man is going to be acquitted, sure," said and old court officer in general sessions as a jury came in with a verdict in an important case a few days ago. "You see, about every :nan in the box turned his face to the defendant as soon as he took his seat. That's a sure sign. I never knew it to fail. When the verdict is or conviction the jurors invariably keep their eyes on the judge or on the ceihng. Members of a convicting jury often seem to find it very difficult to look upon the prisoner, even when the clerk instructs them to do so. I suppose (he explanation of it is that with most people it is a hard matter to inflict rain even on a guilty man. THE SVYS.lt UF A Bfl.I.KT. How fast does a bullet travel .' If it is in proper shape for travelling, Col Flagicr and his ofliecrs say it ought to go at the rate of 1,275 feet a second upon leaving the rifle. This matter of speed is very Impor tant, and if a cartridge is five or ten feet .00 fast or too slow, the quantity of pow Jer must be changed. This mutter of peed is tested in a very interesting way At the northern end of the arsenal grounds is a long wooden shed, in which a distance of 100 feet has been carefully marked off. At either end of this space is .1 s'and something like a target, with a large cli ciilnr opening where the bull's ee would be. Across each opening is stretched a small electric, wire connected with a dell cite Instrument in another room. The rifle from which the firing is done is so aimed that the bullet which files from It cuts both wires. Obviously the difference in time between the cutting of the first and of the second wire will mark the speed of the bullet through 100 feet The measure ment of this brief space of lime is done by an instrument of French invention called Koulinge chronograph. When the first wire is cat an electric circuit is broken and a rod which is suspended from a magnet fill's a short dUlancc, touching in its descent n point which makes a mark on its side. The breaking of the second wire lets drop a second smaller rod in the same way. By means of the difference in the marks on the rods it is possible tc estimate the differ ence in the lime of their falling, and from this the speed of the bu'.lct per second. There is a provision for detecting any er ror,and nearly absolute accuracy Is secur ed. A boa ol Aycr's i'ills has saved msuy a fit of lieknen. When a remedy dues not happen to be within reach, people are liable to slight ailments and. of c nrse, if serious illncsa f.illowa they have to sulfur the con- ijuencea. "A ol ioli in time saves nine." The great and only Wiggins announces, what he considers the most important as tronomical discovery of the century, that the earth Is receding from the sun. This recession, he declares, is proved by what is known as the precession of the equinoxe) which causes the tropical year to be short er than the sidereal, the latter being the real measures of the earth's increasing or bit. His second proof he sees in the moon's secular acceleration. for it is agreed on by all astronomers, so he asserts, that the moon travels faster now in her orbit than two centuries before the Christian era. As the ea.-th, therefore, is receding from the sun it is getting less and less sub ject to solar attraction, and must, there fore, be constantly expanding, so that our oceans are gradually becoming more shal low, because they are covering a constant ly increasing surface, and the time will come when It will be necessary to carve up the continents by canals as we see on Mars,and the same is no doubt true of the planets Saturn and Jupiter. Trees will be planted along these canals to produce aeri al moisture.as appears to be the case along the canals of Mars, which accounts fortheir apparent great breadlh when viewed through a telescope. 5 SPECIALTIES.
