Anoka, Minn.,, April 27.—In an un- successful attempt to rob the National bank here part of the safe door was blown into the ceiling by nitroglycerin, a passerby was handcuffed to a near- by telephone pole, allowed to watch the proceedings and robbed of $17 and the four yeggmen made a “getaway” on a stolen railroad motor car which | was run into by a freight train ten miles down the line. Aside from the $17 taken from the passerby, Frank Wethern, the attempt netted the robbers nothing. BALANGE OF TRADE IS IN OUR FAVOR Record for Present Year Ex- ceeded but Once. ‘Washington, April 27.—The world owes the United States $441,000,000 for food, clothing and raw materials sold abroad. Only once has the bal ance of trade been higher in favor of this country, according to government figures. That whs in 1908, when it was more than $550,000,000. Close observers of finance and trade predict a record breaking fiscal year if the favorable condition continues un- til June. While opinion is divided over the significance of the fact that the balance for March was ‘less than half the size of that of previous months, some point out that March a year ago produced a balance entirely in the other direction, with an excess of imports of more than $19,000,000. Queer ‘Church Ornamentation. The chaucellor of the diocese who refused to sanction the design for a memorial window in a Carlisle church on the ground that an angel is depict- ed wearing the cout of arms of the dean and chapter of Carlisle would assuredly make short work of the Lin- coln cathedral “Imp,” which finds a place among the angels forming the angel choir in that building. Up and down England are to be found hun- dreds of examples of the humor of eccleslastical architects of a past age; from the snarling grifiins worked into the stonework of Henry VIL’s chapel, Westminster abbey, to the dun cow and milkmaids In Durbam cathedral. A cat playing a violin can be seen in Wells cathedral, and in Hereford ca- thedral two cats, apparently perform- ing a violin duet. Boston “Stump” Is crowded with fantastic carvings, among which may be mentloned a wife chastising her husband, a teacher caning a pupil and an orchestra com- posed of bears playing an organ, a bagpipe and a drum.—Westminster Gazette, Bread and Dyspepsia. The conclusion that wheat bread Is unfit for dyspeptics, sometimes jump- ed at because i1l effects are noticed to follow its use, is erroneous. On the contrary, it has been pointed out by Bouchard and others that farinaceous food is peculiarly adapted to some dys- peptic patients. It is the microbes in the starch which are capable of pro- ducing irritating aclds that cause the trouble. To avold this Bouchard rec- ommiends that only the crust or toast- ed crumbs of the bread be used by dyspeptics, particularly those whose stomachs are dilated. The reason of this is explained by the fact that bak- ing temporarily, though not perma- nently, arrests the fermentation of dough. When it is again heated by the warmth of the stomach the fer- mentation Is renewed. In cases where the bread Is toasted brown through the fermentation is stopped perma- nently.—Family Doctor.

The reddest dress is just the 3ame color as a pure white tablecloth ‘when both are placed in a dark closet, It you would understand_ this assume thie presence of a light wave motion fn the ether. The ‘color of light depends upon the length of these waves. The light waves producing the colors in the blue end of the spectrum are very short compared with those that pro- duce the colors near' the red end. The light source that we know as red gives off only waves of a length to produce that particular color. A body appears red because its surface absorbs all the other waves and reflects the red waves back into the-eye. If an attempt is made to light a blue body with red light it will fail, because the blue body is capable of reflecting only the short ‘waves producing the blue, and since the red source produces none of these there will be no reflection and the body will appear black. A thing looks black when it is capable of absorbing all the colors at once.—St. Louis Republic. Improving the Book of Job. _ 1 remember the relief with ‘which, after long feeling the sway of Frank- lin’s imperturbable common sense, 1 came upon a project of his for a new version of thé book of Job to replace the old version, the style of which, says Franklin, has become obsolete and hence less agreeable. “I give,” he continues, “a few verses which may serve as a sample of the kind of ver- sion I would recommend.” We all recollect the famous verse in our translation, “Tgen Satan answered the Lord and said, Doth Job fear God for naught?' Kranklin - makes this, “Does. your majesty jmagine that Job'’s good conduct i3 the effect of mere per- sonal attachment and affection?” read that, | drew a deep breath of re- lief and said to myself, “After all, there is a stretch of humanity beyoud Franklin's victorions good sense.’— Matthew Arnold’s . “Culture and An- archy.” An Awful Experience. A native diver descended Into the water to see whether one of the piers, then in course of coustruction, had set. ‘While he was engaged in this work a iron cylinder snbsided a little, g his hand between. it and the masonry. When, on a signal being giv- en, another diver came down he found bis unfortunate comrade imprisoned under water without hope of e After a few moments of mute despair and harrowing. uncertainty a speech- less decision was arrived at, and the newcower proceeded with chisel and hammer to hack off his unhappy com- panion's haud at the wrist.

The Kangaroo's Kick. When a big “old man” kangaroo stiff- ens his tail and converts it into a sort of revolving pivot bearing the whole weight of his body, leaving his tremen- dously powerful legs free for attack and defense, everybody who does not want to be ripped up or thrown in a heap for a considerable distance will glve the marsupial a wide berth. Only those who bave seen the full grown kangaroo in his native Australian bush with his back to a tree, scattering dogs, bleeding and torn, right and left, can form any adequate idea of the prodi: gious strength the animal is capablé of exerting when he finds himseif in a tight corner.

The most nat- ural and obvious answer is that the spelling indicates the Russian pronun- clation of the word, which czar does not. The title comes from an old Slavonic word, which some authorities are agreed is not derived from the Latin caesar, but there are authori- tles who hold that its ultimate deriva- tion is from the Roman. The origin of the common spelling is supposed to be the writings of Herberstein, abont 1530. The letter “c” in Koman- Slavonic has the ‘sound of “ts.” = The letter was copied, but the sound was not. The letter “z” never belonged in the word., The spelling czar is now regarded by many as. old fashioned. With some Germans the spelling is zar, which is’ pronounced tsar. Many of the French. have adopted tsar as the spelling,_and that form is increas- ing in English. The London Times, a most careful authority, employs it, and 80 does the Encyclopedia Britannica in its snpplementary volumes.—Chica- g0 Record-Herald, The Green Constable. A new constable on duty in a pro- vincial fown handed to a sergeant a shilling which bhe said be had found. The man with the three stripes told him be was quite right in acting as he had done. [Proceeding on” his round, the sergeant met a brother sergeant and, with a grin, told him the tale of the shilling. They hoth agreed the new recrnit was very green, and at the conclusion of their dnties they went to the nearest inn, and the pos- sessor of the coin called for two drinks. On receiving_them he threw down the shilling to pay for them, but the land- lord refused it, saying it was a_bad ope.

MEETING ENDS ABRUPTLY Committee on Committees Sustains Chairman Gallinger's Selections by Vote of 7 to 4, the Progressive Mem- bers Voting in the Negative—Repub- lican Deadlock Arouses Much Specu- lation in Washington. ‘Washington, April 27.—Although a further concession was made to the progressive Republicans by the sen- ate committee on committees, the executive sessfon of the committee broke up abruptly with the announces| ment by the progressives that they would appeal to the caucus to be held later, and, if necessary, to the open senate. The concéssion made was the selec tion of Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr., for a place on the committee on ap- propriations. The deadlock among the senate Re- publicans is exciting much speculation in Washington, especially in view of the conservative Democrats in the senate, in order to keep peace in their family, . absolutely surren- dered the rule of seniority in favor of the progressives, and gave them most advantageous committée assignnients. As the situation now stands it is understood that only two committee assignments stand between the regu- lar and progressive Republicans and comparative harmony. Senator La ‘Follette wants to go on.the senate committee on interstate commerce and Senator Cummins of Iowa on finance. Seek Balance of Power. The real struggle between the regu- lars and progressives in the senate is for the balance of power in the finance committee, which not only handles all tariff and monetary légis- lation, but exerts influence in other directions. It is noteworthy that, in making up practically all the impor- tant committees of the senate except finance, the regular Republicans have assigned two progressives to each. A| membership of two progressives. on the finance committee might give the balance of power provided the entire Democratic strength .should support them, but this is not believed prob- able, with Senators Bailey and Sim- mons on the Democratic side, both of ‘whom are protection Democrats. In view of the actions of the conser- vative Democrats in assigning three first term senators to the great com- mittee on finance, in violation of all rules of seniority, the refusal of the Republican regulars in the senate to give the Republican progressives two members instead of ome is a subject of universal comment. The meeting of the committee on committees was brief and reported to have been somewhat acrimonious, Sen- ator Gallinger, chairman of the com- mittee, faid before it a complete list of appointments to the warious com- mittees. On a vote to adopt the Gallinger list the committee divided, 7 to 4, the four progressives voting solidly. Wireless Promoters on Trial.

Madero, Jr., the Mexican insurrecto leader, has reiterated his expressed willingness to extend the existing armistice when it expires next Fri- day, if peace negotiations appear to be under way. X Madero, discussing peace prospects at his hotel in Juarez, also stated that railroads leading south of Juarez will not be repaired pending the conclu- sion of the armistice, unless they are in the hands of the insurrectos. The Tepairing of the road between Juarez and Chihuahua in particular, he said, would afford a means of bringing fed- eral reinforcements to Juarez if peace negotiations should fail. He is will- ing, however, that repairs be made to the track of the Mexico Northwestern railroad, which is being operated by, the insurrectos, to a point within twelve miles of Juarez. Everything that can be done before the meeting of the official peace com- missioners has been accepted here, it is stated, and until then no develop- ments are looked for in the insurrecto camp.

Its effect first becomes visibleina circular motion at the point in the clouds to which it ascends. This be- comes a whirl, which condenses the vapor at its center, causing the por- tion of the cloud there to drop down: ward in the shape of a gigantic jelly bag. At the same time the continuing upward draft increases the rapidity of its ‘original swirl and the condensed vapor caught within it until the ascending and descending masses join to form the waterspout. Necessarily | by this process the alr beneath the spout is rarefied, and thus where the phenomenon occurs at sea the water always seems to be sucked up into it, although this is not really the case to any considerable extent. For similar reasons where a waterspout or torna- do passes over u_building it does most of its damage by exhausting the air outside, causing what is within to ex- pand and blow the structure to pieces.
