Such display are likely to be re peated for alme time. Shorn of the scientific reasoning through whloh the astronomer come to their de ductions, the explanation of the existing heat waves, wtiiieh combines with the forest-fire smoke to give u strange color to the aun and moon, Is that It Is generated largely by the frequent aolar eruptions Into whlrh a planet of the else of the earth would sink like a pebble In the ocean. Somehow the activities create an extra errata, hfgh up In the air that Influence radiation materially, so the earth' atmos phere must be warm and gloomy, the sun and moon must be red. and there must lie auroral displays.

One of tho must remarkable stretches of ra II mad ' track In the world will be en countered by tho passengers who. within a few mouths, will be able to take passage tor easU-ru cities over tho new Chicago, Milwaukee . Bt. Paul, when they pass along Uia Musselshell river, separating Fergus and Yellowstone counties. The t retch referred to la fifteen miles long, and In traveling over this section a passenger will B from Fergus ti.to Yellowstone county llfty-elght times and return -tnto .Fergus fity-nlue times during the ride. He will thus have crossed the line separating the two counties 117 times. When It Is con sidered that the line which separates tha two political divisions Is nothing more or less than tha Musselshell river, the feat will become" even more remarkable. Fot each crossing of the line there la a bridge. Hence. 11T bridge have been constructed In distance of 115 rrtlles. This Is 'an aver- of more than on fcrldg to every mile, tied 117 separate opportunttea for the de spondent passenger desiring to commit aul cids by drowning. Tills fact was Incluled in ths report of tho new road ftled with the Plate Board of Kquallsatloa, and showa the amount of tracts It had on March 1 which will be aub-ject to taxation this year. The report Indicates tha point where the road enters ths slat, and followe tha tcouise of Its line through Fer gus county. "The line enters tha slat and passes easterly through Custer oounly to the county Una between Tellowalone and Fergus ooudM." aya tha report. Conllnutng In generally easterly direction. It croaeea the Musselshell river, which I the dividing Hue between the county of Fergus, on the north side, and tha county of Yellowstone, on Ilia eouth aide of the river, 11T times, pasatng t hereby Into Fergus county flfly-nlne limes and from ITergus county Into Yellowstone county fifty-eight limes." Coming UP Blxteen Mile eanyen, tn Fergus and . Meagher counties, lb" railroad will havo aa lac reeved number of brtdce. An AUrai AUfsraai rc4td nl irack. from A French statistician has been calculating the ppred at which virions animals, ma chines and natural forces move. The expert calculates the rale of speed per second. He finds that the thumb nail grows at the rate of M.a.io.oon.oon of a yard per second. Would yotl suppose that the thumb nail or a bamboo tree grew faster? Our expert shows that the bamboo tree has tho thumb nnll beaten by an enormous margin. This energetic plant shoot up ward Ht the rate of 27-10,OOO.onn,000 of a yard per second. The hair, according to actenc. Is a kind of vegetable which I rooted in the skin and keeps on growing while properly nourished and cared for. It Is Interesting to know that a healthy hair of the human head can beat the bamboo about ten times in spied jf growliiK. The hair grows at the rate of 1:!-1.MM0 of a yard par seo ond. Probably you would not have realised that the hair la much faster than the thumb nail, but you can learn from these The snail is proverbially regarded ns a figures that It 1. very' slow animal, and this expert thor oughly bears out the old Impression. The snoll umially Jogs along at the rate of 15-ln.Oon of a yard per second. It Is really cry Interesting to know for the first time nfter all these years Just how last a snail goes. The next time you see. one of them you can Inform your friends with a great how of wisdom that the creature Is muk- ng ir-0,000 of a yard per second. Do you suppose that tho average man walking nboiit his business goes faster than a fairly good swimmer? It 1 a pus sllng question. Well, a brisk walker will cover 1 yard 3 Inches In a second, and the samo man swimming will go 1 yard and 4 inches, according to thl InveBtlgator. A homo, going at a trot not the last trotter of the track Is estimated to make a speed of 4 yards nnd 1 foot In a second. It is Interesting to find that a mnh run nlng fast will beat this, for he will easily cover 6 yards 1 foot 3 Inches In a second. The carrier pigeon's powers of flight are marvelous. The bird flies at speed of 23 yards 2 feet 4 incnes a second, thus beating any effort that a man can mnke even with the aid of bicycle or skates. If man were only supplied with good pair of wings, he would have no need of automobiles, trains or any other kind of artificial locomotion. The fastest racehorse, according to the French expert, has attained a speed of 80 vards 9 Inches a second, which Is considerably less than that of an orcil nary carrier plegon. Light at present holds the record of speed among all moving things that has been measured. It travels at the rate of 823,028,800 yards a second, according to the French scientist; This Is faster than think ing, even by the most quick wilted person, Let any reader of this try to think the simplest thought and then with the aid of stop watch note how long it bas taken him to think It. He will then be able to understand how slow his mental operations are compared to the speed of light; It is an interesting fact that electricity Is Just a modern fraction lalower than light. The former travels at the speed of 3O4.6U2.10O yards per second. Tlieso calculations indicate the enormous labors which scientists undertake In order to gather information concerning the forces of nature and their common operations which are taking place all about us a every moment. It has been said that sclen tlsts who make accurate observations con tribute greatly to the progress of knowl edge. New York World. A Chance to Work It OAT.

RED SUN AND COPPER MOON Solar Eruptions and Forest Fire Be lieved Responsible for the Colorfuii. Why is the sun so red, and the moon so, tinged with copper? More noticeable, per-: haps, Is the fact that the temperature and humidity are running peculiarly high for tho season, while the days, as a rule, are hazy and gloomy. It all Is conducive, to speculations, nnd Is discussed among all classes with more or less enlightened In telligence. The explanations closest at. hand come from the uflroiiomers ajid rauteoro logtsls. and give recognition to the common theory that the forest fires are contributory to tho unusual atmosphere conditions. As tronomers, however, readly connect the sit uation with the present solar activity com monly referred to us sun ots of which the general public has seen evidence In an exceptional frequency and brilliancy of auroral displays. Northern lights have occurred Bo often In the last three weeks that they have attracted much attention, and even the layman lias susitcctcd some connection between them and the colored veil that seems to be drawn over the sun and ths moon. Of course, there Is no authority for assuming any relattonehip bntwvten these auroral dlsplaya and the forest fires, though the two may bear Joint relation to the atmospheric conditions. Tfaturally the theory that the forest fires Tiavo created atmospheric composition which gives the heavenly , bodies their unnatural colors has Its strongest supporters In the office of the United States Weather bureau, where It 1 generally accepted that dense volumes of anioke will rise high Into the air and spread out so widely that even the western fires would be likely to contribute to the conditions now observed. Those who have taken an interest In this subject may remember the awful days In August, IMS, when the Krakatoa In the East Indies broke Into Its fiercest eruption and for a number of drya was hurling its Interior Into the air. The lava dust created then, fine aa flour, was blown all over the world, and the only explanation ever found for the red sunsets of those days. That dust bad the same general effect of inter fering with ths radiation of aolar lmpulae aa Is attributed to smoke; hence It la to ba expected that the smoke from the forest fires will east its veil over the sun and moon, and give them the same appearance that they sustained from the lava dust. The sun spots are exerting their Influence on the temperature' and It Is significant that the temperature la high all over the country at the present lme. John Richie, tr., of the Boston board of health ht Veen a close observer of the phenomena of the laat two or three weeks. He says that two or three groups of spots were noticed by astronomers, these spots representlt.g tre mendous disturbances on th sun; such aa conie In cyelea' of eleven or twelve years lit places favorable for observations the auroral displays or northern lights usually attending the aolar eruptions, have been particularly beautiful. The aurora boreal u has been of tha highest tint of red, silver an4 greea, and bas been stea U aug Ui Foot Comfort Means Peace of Mind For Buffering womanhood there Is no greater agony than aching feet, and for these wo men we have a message ot comfort in our Grover's Comfort Shoe We are representatives In Nebraska for these famous shoe which are known the world over.
