B movemont up Uioro. The suggestion
H of Mr. Scowcroft as tho democratic
flH candidate for govornor camo from
H Salt Lake county. It is said that when
B the merchant was running against
H Glasmann for mayor of Ogden, Glas-
H mnnn on tho Republican and Scow-
H croft on tho Domocmtic ticket, Scow-
H croft's fnionds passed out the word that
H he was a 'better Republican than
H Glasmann, since Scowcroft had voted
H twice for McKinloy while Glasmann
H voted only once that way. Since the
H subsequent snowslido under whloh the
H Ogden Democrats helped to bury
B Scowcroft, that gentleman has not
H been in the running much so far as
H favors from tho Democrats party arc
H concerned.
H
M The Progressives in Idaho aro op-
Jm posed to a third tickot in that state,
M feeling that it would weaken the
H cause by naming a candidate for each
Hj office on tho tickot. They are for
B Roosevelt strong, but the state and
L county tickets are said to bo another
H matter. A big point is involved here
H and ono that must not be hastily do-
Hf cided in any state. A thorough sound-
IHU Ing of the sentiment in the Progros-
H sive party is necessary to the proper
H solution of the question that con-
i fronts tho people. If tho people want
Hli a third ticket they should get it. If
H: they don't they should say so.

H' Any candidate in any party who
' wishes to let tho people know that he
,! is a candidato is perfectly welcome
Hh to stato his case in these columns.

Science and Industry's Progressi
NOT least of Britain's social prob
lems is tho increase of tho
feeble minded. There are al
ready more than. 150,000, a majority
of whom drift in and out of the work
houses nnd prisons, unable to support
themselves or to live decently, and
Prof. C. G. Crosley states that nearly
half are now in need of special care
and control. Their birth rato aver
ages seven per marriage, that of nor
mal families being only four. It is
urged that such persons as endanger
society be placed under stato control
in suitable colonies, where agriculture
and other work would make them
comfortable and self-supporting.
Gorman chemists are reported to
have succeeded in utilizing fibrous
animal refuse such as tho flesh of
dead horses for "making artificial
silk. Treatment with acids disinte
grates the flesh into its ultimate fi
bers, and these are given a silky ap
pearance, with great durability, Dy a
kind of tanning process. The threads
produced greatly resemble those ot
tho wild silkworm, aro about two in
ches long. They may bo vulcanized
like true silk, and can be made air
tight and water tight by immersion for
a couple of hours in a caoutchouc
oath under a pressure of four atmos
pheres. Tho material seems to promise
something cheaper than silk for balloon
envelopes, insulation, etc., though at
tempts have not yet been successful.
Medical authorities now claim that
"writer's cramp" and other similar
slates of apparent muscular paralysis
are actually due, not to the tiring of
tho muscles but to brain fag. It ap
pears that the particular part of the
brain which controls special combina
tions of musce action, such as tno
movements of writing or the working
of a telegraph key, tends to become
more quickly exhausted in some indi
viduals than in others. Such exhaus
tion leads to a state in which the
brain is actually unable to send out
its necessary messages to the hands
and fingers to write, tap a key, hold
a violin bow, etc. Furthermore, once
the nerve cells, tho "batteries" of tho
brain, get thoroughly run down It is
not easy to restore their energy. Here
tofore it has been supposed that all
troubles of the kind wore due simply
to ovortiring of the muscles concern
ed. M. Nordmann of- the observatory of
Paris has made some interesting cal
culations of the Intrinsic light of a
number of stars, based on the results
(ho had previously attained in regard
to their effective temperatures. The
brightness of a star, as seen from the
earth, does not depend wholly upon
its size and distance. Thus M. Nord
mann finds that Sirius and Vega
emit light, the brightness of which is
0,000,000 cp. per square centimeter,
whilo at the other end of the scule
tho light of Aldobaran amounts to
only 22,000 cp. per squaro centimeter.
The intrinsic brightness of Vega is,
according to this calculation, nineteen
times that of tho sun. If Vega wore
of the same size as Aldebaran and at
the; same distance from the earth, the
former would appear to us over 200
times as bright as the latter.
A new instance of supposed connec
tion of the moon with rainfall claims
tho support of highly scientific auth
ority. Heavy rains are said to occur
in South Africa at intervals of nine
teen years, and this period coincides
with the lunar cycle of maximum north
and south declinations. E. E. Nevill,
lalo director of the Natal observatory,
finds an explanation in the moon's at
traction. The theory is that a perma
nent cloud belt is drawn along by the
moon, and that as the moon nears its
farthest point north the mass of clouds
is made to impinge on the mountains
in Natal, giving excessive rainfall.
Eleven skeletons of primitive imen,
with foreheads sloping directly back
from the eyes, and with two rows of
teeth in the front of the upper jaw,
have been uncovered at Craigshill, at
EllenBburg, Wash. They were found
about twenty feet below the surface,
twenty feet back from the face of
the slope, in a cement rock forma
tion over which was a layer of shale.
The rock was perfectly dry. The jaw
bones, which easily break, are so large
that they will go around the face of
the man of today. The other bones
are also much larger than those of
the ordinary man. The femur is twen
ty inches long, Indicating a man of
eighty inches tall. The teeth in front
aro worn almost down to the Jaw
bones, due, it Is believed, to eating
, uncooked foods and crushing hard sub
stances with the teeth. The sloping
skull shows an extremely low order
of intelligence.
A town in North Carolina has at
last found a way to rid itself of the
multitude of tramps that has Infested
it. Beside the railway that runs
through the town is a straight half
mile of road. When a number of
tramps arrive in town they are gath
ered In by the police and lined up at
tho town hall at one end of this street.
At the other end stands a policeman.
Then at a pistol shot tho tramps race
away for liberty. All but the last
man are allowed to keep on running
as far as they will so long as It is
away from town. The laBt man is seized
by the policeman and set to work
on the roads. With feet winged by
fear of work on tLj roads the tramps
puff and blow their hardest, and ar
rive at the terminus with aching sides
and jaws, out of breath, and ready,
but for fear of a second capture, to
drop in their tracks and rest indefinite
ly. It Is said that not one of them
ihas yet cared to repeat the experience.
Mohamet to the mountain went,
As folks have done before;
Perhaps the soir.owhate jade! gent
Was weary of the shore.
