LARGE SEFTER AN
Reclamation or Irrigation
At the Inter State Fair and Exposi
tion which is to be held in Denver
September 3rd to I7th every branch
of irrigation and land improvemen
schemes imaginable will be shown
in elaborate detail by parties inter
ested in these enterprises Since the
Reclamation Service started to open
arid lands to homeseekers and make
it possible for them to obtain a live
lihood from the soil the land busi
ness in the west has grown almost
to the proportion of the railroad in
terests of the entire country Since
the exposition at Denver has been
made into a National affair and there
is no proscribed territory the dis
plays will show what has been ac
complished not only by irrigation
but in the dry or scientific
branches of agriculture The govern
ment is about to dump 20000000 into
the funds of unfinished reclamation
projects and complete the work of
opening up homes for millions The
Inter State Fair and Exposition is
the only general medium through
which the great undeveloped west
can show to the world its possibilit
ies

The Nebraska millers can carry
their appeal from the decision in the
bleached flour case up to the highest
court with a clear conscience The
absurdity of leaving to a jury so
technical a question as the effect of
bleaching upon the wholesomeness of
flour is so manifest that they are
justified in seeking a more scientific
method of settling the question The
entire state is interested in bringing
this litigation to a speedy and satis
factory conclusion The grain growers
are especially concerned for there is
little doubt that a depression in the
price of the wheat most easily grown
in large areas of this state will fol
low the permanent barring of bleach
ed flour from shipment across state
lines If it were plain that the pro
cess injures the quality of the flour
or renders it one partical less nutri
tions or less digestible the whole
state of Nebraska would assent to
the decision and turn to the growing
of some other crop But the ver
dict is far from conclusive In its
present status the decision represents
merely a technical legal advantage
gained over the winter wheat growers
by the spring wheat states Until
the verdict is more conclusive the
winter wheat people are justified in
continuing their fight Lincoln Jour

THE STATELY STORK
Hia Immense Power on the Wing and
His Lack of Voice
In Holland the nests of stories -tie
generally on the summit uf a tall post
put up on purpose for them on which
Is fixed an old cart wheel Says ait
English writer A Dutch jrein Ionian
of my acquaintance lias one sm Ii piisi
in his grounds within sight of liis li
brary window but he improves nutlit
cart wheel by having an iron ruui
work for the reception of the uesi
The first year It was put up tow ird
the end of June a solitary youii
stork used to come daily and inspect
this framework 1 saw him there my
self one day standing in the empty re
ceptaele exactly like a would be bene
dict inspecting au empty house eon
templating the view and wondering it
the drains are all right The verdict
was apparently favorable for next
season -aw the nest occupied by the
newly wedded pair Their power of
wing is very tijie and on hot days 1
have watched them ascending spiral
circles hardly moving tlieir broad
black wings till they have looked no
bigger than dies After the yoium are
hatched they appear to be suspicions
of one another and unwilling to leave
the nest unguarded
Storks have no voice The only
noise they make is klappering snap
ping their great red mandibles rapid
ly and loudly Thus they greet one
another generally by throwing back
the bead until the upper mandible
rests on the back but occasionally
klappering is performed with the
bead and bill in the natural position
GREENWICHMERIDIAN
Its Relation to Standard Time In This
Country
Standard time is the time in com
mon use regulating the ordinary af
fairs of life It is derived from the
sun Leaving out of account small
irregularities of the solar motion that
are of no consequence for our present
purpose when that celestial body is on
the meridian of any place we call the
time of that place noon or 12 oclock
It follows that when it is noon at any
given place it is similarly noon at all
other places having the same meridi
au As the sun rises in the east and
sets in the west it is evident that
when it is crossing the meridian ot
any place it must have already passed
that of places to the eastward and
not yet reached that of places to the
westward In other words when it is
uoon in the given place it is forenoon
in places to the westward and after
noon in places to the eastward
Now 15 degrees of longitude corre
spond exactly to one hour of time dif
ference and therefore the local times
of the several standard meridians dif
fer from Greenwich by an even num
ber of hours In the Dnited States
the standard time meridians are those
whose longitudes are west of Green
wich GO 75 90 105 and 120 degrees
The time of these meridians is re
spectively four five six seven and
eight hours earlier than Greenwich
time because the sun in traveling
across the sky from east to west pass
es the Greenwich meridian before it
reaches the American meridians New

Laugh and Grow Fat
Laugh and grow far is an old say
ing and there is more than a little
truth In It asserts a doctor The
convulsive movements which we call
laughter exert a very real effect upon
the bodily framework They cause the
arteries to dilate so that they carry
more blood to the tissues of the body
and the heart to beat more rapidly so
that the flow of the blood through the
vessels is hastened In other words
laughter promotes the very best condi
tions for an increase of the vital proc
esses The tissues take up more nu
tritive material and the waste products
are more promptly removed A good
laugh sends an increased flow of blood
to the brain This immediately causes
that instrument of thought to work
better with the result that gloomy
forebodings are sent packing
The Origin of the Mastiff
Mastiff is a term applied to a very
large and powerful species of the ca
nine family and there is considerable
conflict of opinion regarding the origin
of the word Some claim that it is de
rived from the Italian mastino or the
French mastin both of which signify
large limbed This word they say
was gradually corrupted into masty a
Lincolnshire expression meaning very
large muscular or big until it grad
ually assumed its present form Oth
ers again say its true origin is the old
German masten to fatten because the
mastiff is a large dog and so seems
better fed than any other London

ACCUSED AS A WITCH
Tried For Conversing With the Devil
In the Form of a Cat
Jane Weuham was indicted at the
Hertfordshire assizes on March 4 1712
for conversing with the devil In the
form of a cat under the provisions of
the act of 1G04 repealed in 1730 Her
prosecutors wished to have her also
indicted for practicing witchcraft to
the harm of Ann Thorn a servant girl
sixteen years old but this was not
allowed although evidence was pro
duced at the trial to show what injury
had been done the victim by means of
crooked pins and by placing cakes and
cats hairs in Ann Thorns pillow and
how the prisoner had caused the death
of some cattle simply by walking
through a turnip field
The jury brought her in guilty
and Mr Justice Powell passed sen
tence of death but took steps to quash
the verdict Wenharas prosecutors
published an account of the case but
their arguments were pulverized by
scientific men Jane Wenham herself
was liberated and taken under the
protection of Colonel Plummet who
gave her a cottage and we are told
by Dr Hutchinson that in 1720 the
whole country was fully convinced of
her innocence London Spectator

When standing before a looking glass
notice if your shoulders are the same
height Generally the right is higher
than the left The reason for this un
evenness nes in ine way one sits icsn
get into a comfortable chair atyoui
desk and at once you rest yojur right
elbow ou the arm of youJr chair oi
your desk thus throwing one shoulder
higher thau the otbetvThis is especial
ly the case where vine writes a great
deal When you notice that one shoul
der is higher tham the other the thing
to do is to cbaiyge your way of sitting
at your desk Two simple exercises
will be beneficial The arm of the low
er shoulder should be extended up

That of the higher shoulder should be
lowered amd made to support a heavy
