SENATOR CUMMINS DOMINANT Stormy Scenes at Des Moines Repub lican Convention When Leader of Party Rebels Refuses to Utter President Taft's Name. Dos Moines, m., Aur. 4. Punntor Cummins will be n ciimlldnte for Uic Republican noiulniitlou for president In , 1012 If Iowa politician have rend , nrlsht the purport of the Insurgent senntor's "keynote" sihhxiIi as tempo rary chnlrmnn of the Republican state convention. The Insurgent victory In Kansas gave the Cummins supporters new courage In shoving his boom, which they tmnk is rainy inunction ny tne Iowa party coming out flatly as "pro gressive." One significant feature of the con vention was tlw ndoptlon of a resolu tion by the Ninth district caucus In dorsing Congressman Walter I. Smith for speaker of the next house of rep rpspiitntlvefl tn riippivn! T'nr"li .Toe Cnnnon. The resolution was present-1 ed by Attorney General Ilyers, right hand man of Curaintns, who was de- feated by Judge Smith for congress at the recent primaries. I The convention was the most turbu-, lent ever held In Iowa. Much talked of harmony took to the woods when ; the "stand patters" arose In their seats j and attempted to force Senator Cum mins to mention Tuft as one of the great leaders of the Republican party. Hisses, catcalls, Jeers and cries ot "shut up" mingled with yells fori "Taft! Taft! Taft!" Through It all, Senator Cummins stood delimit, ignor ing demands that he mention the name of the president with those of Lincoln. Grant and Hoosevelt. Roosevelt was cheered vociferously. Senator Dolllver was made perma nent chnlrman by S34 votes to 540 for J. C. Mnybray, the "stand pat" candi date. Dolllver was greeted with cheers intermingled with hisses. Time and again Senator Dolllver was forced to pause while "stand patters," led by ex-Congressman I-icey, yelled "rotten" and called for the name of Taft. He, too, scorned to mention either Presi dent Taft or Governor Carroll. Ills thrusts at the tariff were received with groans from the "stand patters" and cheers from the progressives. The convention declared by a vote of 810 to .r0S that it disapproved of the Tnyne tariff law as not being a fulfill ment of the pledges of the Republican national platform of two years ago and gave cordial indorsement of the action of Senators Cummins and Dol llver and the Insurgent members of the lower house In refusing to support the tariff, railway and other adminis tration measures. There were majority and minority reiwrts covering every stage of the day's proceedings. The effect of the convention was not to cement the splintered remnants of the Iowa Republicans. Although out numbered, the "stand patters" never made n more bitter fight. It is quite apparent, too, from discussion among the delegates that Governor Carroll faces a serious light for re-election this fall. The indictment returned against him by the I'olU county grand Jury for criminal l!lcl has centered much crit icism upon him by the farmers, who number u large part of voters in Iowa. However, the convention Indorsed the governor In unexpectedly strong terms, while Senator Cummins In his address pleaded with the convention to support the entire ticket, although not naming the governor especially. Politicians wlio predicted that Iowa will be in the doubtful column this fall said that the convention has not caus ed them to change their opinions. The platform gives Senators Cum mins and Dolllver nnd the Insurgent delegation at Washington enthusias tic Indorsement. The new tariff law was branded as a failure in the light of the pnrty pledge of 100S. and President Tuft re ceived only a lukewarm Indorsement. The progressive mnjority ranged close to ."iOO on every question. Senator Cummins' speech was n bit ter nrralgnmcnt of the tariff. How Greeley Learned to Read.

"THE WOilAU ATLAS." "If It wnsn't for the mothers In the world we would become nomadic peo ple In twenty minutes. If tbo moth ers in life's struggle gnvo up In de spair neither this country nor any other would be worth living In, for upon the mothers is the burden of the world." As Gutzon Borglum, the noted sculp tor, said this be revolved a piece of marble statuary embodying these thoughts so that the sunlight brought out Its strength In a startling manner. It consisted of a woman with exalt ed face upraised to a huge globe rep resenting tho world, which she held in her arms. The statuo Is called "The Woman Atlas." "To my mind," con tinued the sculptor, "the race's very existence depends npon woman's reali zation of motherhood. Today, as in the time of the patriarchs, tho family is tho unit of a country's strength. As tho family life of a nation is, so is its national life, and if family corruption Is the rule with any people that peo ple is suro to be found wanting In some crisis. "I am not preaching anti-race sui cide; I am preaching motherhood. 1 am not advocating huge families, but 1 am advocating family life as the greatest and finest thing In all life." Mr. Borglum paused and looked at tho figure in saffron marblo with its Joyful burden. Then he continued. pointing at the work: "I started out to build a statue showing a woman offering her child to a god any god, Every woman doos this, be sho Chris- tian or pagan. Sometimes it Is In the sanctuary, sometimes In the home, but always in the heart. This was a unl versa! thought, but It didn't vibrate It wasn't big enough. That was two years ago. and I have been thinking and chiseling and obliterating steadily since then. "Nlnnliy tho thought came to me. Ifs all tho world to her.' There was my Inspiration, aud I took the child out or her outstretched arms and put in them the world. Motherhood is all the world to a woman except, I fear, a militant suffragette. "In my statue here the woman is kneeling. Hers Is a religious labor, but it was not so with Hercules. Big. fiat fooled, bent, he bears with infinite la bor the burden of a world which can be to him only n dead and ugly weight. In his labor there was no ex altation, nothing but a heartbreaking grind." A Question of Black. Many yoiueu and all men entertain the fallacious Idea that In tho realm of dress black Is universnlly becoming As a matter of fact, black is one of the most trying colors to wear successful ly. It brings out every hard line of face aud shoulders (If it be decollete) and destroys the beauty of any usual face. If you select black for your gown, consider the softness and tex ture ot your skin and carefully weigh tbo possibility of adding flvo or ten years to your age. Black is eminently becoming to some women when relieved by a touch of brilliant color at a place whero any strong contrast will be lessened. A broad band ot sapphire blue or emer ald green placed across the upper part of the corsage at the top of the collar or edging the sleeves will do much to make this serviceable color wearable. A peculiarity of black la that It has tendency to dominate most women. It Is the "woman In the black gown," which la merely another way of sug gesting that tho wearer has been plac ed In tho background. As a general rule, black Is worn with greater ad vantage by tall women, who are able to carry a robe of silk or velvet with the queenly air of which tho poets sing. Tbo Titian haired woman with her milk white skin looks extremely well In black. Tbo possessor of bltwvblack hair and a skin like old Ivory U also at her best In block. Tbo Intense golden haired woman with vlrtd coloring can wear It with becoming grace. B"or the rest of womankind It la safer to eschew this hue. i I sllllHMrTIrflllHsllH 'iSIBBfi kSBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBK 1 t",tm ILLB THE CITY BEAUTIFUL Landscape Artist's Suggestions For Improvement of Reading. Pa. A prominent landscape artist of Cambridge, Mass., was engaged by the Civic association of Reading, Pa., to devise plniiB for n better and more beautiful Reading. Ills report In part Is as follows: "Abovo all, It Is Important thnt the work of tho Civic association ' should not end In a mere statement of some of tho needs of Reading. Let mo try, therefore, to sum up tho definite things thnt are necessary to chango tho pres ent Rending Into a decidedly better place for business, for hotnemnklng, for tho growth nnd development of children, for wholesomo rccrentlon for nil. To my mind the following are the twelve most necessary things to do: "Hrst. To adopt n more thoughtful and up to date method of locating nnd improving streets. "Second. To remove from the main streets all wire, poles and other ob structions. "Third. To take prompt and vigor ous steps for the nbatement of the smoke nuisance. "Fourth. To extend the city limits by annexation, to Include all the ter ritory with tho proposed Belt boule vard. "Fifth. To add to the convenience, comfort nnd beauty of Pcnn square by the construction of n central mall or narrow park strip. "Sixth. To proceed at once to make tho best possible grouping of public nnd semlpubllc buildings. "Seventh. To lay out a comprehen sive system of thoroughfares nnd boulevnrds, Including diagonal ave nues nnd a belt boulevard to encircle tho city. "Eighth. To provide for the grad ual abolition of all grade crossings within the city limits. "Ninth. To build across the Schuyl kill river a series of bridges of n more appropriate tyie. "Tenth. To secure at once for piny- ground purposes as many open spaces j ns possible, especially In the settled ; sections of tho city. "Eleventh. To get possession of the finest natural features around Read- i lng Its mountain tops, valleys, river banks nnd creeks nnd set them aside as public parks. "Twelfth. To Investigate and report upon tho Improvement of housing con ditions in Reading." PAINTING THE HOME. When Done With Care It Improves Suburban Life. Without trees, grass and paint no rural home Is complete. Beauty ant comfort are brought by thein. They make the abiding place a home. Where employed intelligently and sym pathetically they increase the value of the country home and enrich country life. The first two are now generally appreciated, but the last Is too fre quently neglected. Rural buildings may bo large and costly, but if unpalnted they nre hideous. Tho huinblo house, tho in expensive barn and outbuildings may be made beautiful by paint with a j careful selection of colors. Many sub urban homes uro inviting because well painted, the lawns neatly kept and a few shrubs and flowers added to com plete tho lacking feature of beauty and needs. Naturally the first effect of paint is to improve appearances. That is much. Paint makes tho old look as new. It brightens the entire land scape. It tells tho character of the people. It separates the cultured from the uncultured, the enterprising from tho shiftless, the successful from the improvident. Paint, therefore, not only tells a story, but It becomes tho first need hi town Improvement So mindful are many suburbanites of this that at regular stated intervals the buildings aro painted nnd nlways kept so. In deed, some go further and call paint Into uso as a necessary part of tho re- pah- of farm Implements, and nothing will pay better either unless it bo the wise uso of paint for interior decora tion of tho home. Good Advice For Any Town. The board of public works should begin a general and thorough cleaning up of the city from one end to the other. Every street and alley should be looked after and the premises thoroughly Inspected everywhere. It would not only be better In the way of cleanliness, but It would give tho city n still finer appearance, and quite likely tho work might result In pre venting a large amount of sickness. At the samo time tho sidewalks should be put in tho very best shape pos sible, every foot of them inspected and orders to repair given wherever needed. War Against Spitters. Tho women of Flushing, N. V., have started a novel movement for the Im provement of health conditions in that town In tho form of a crusade against ptttcrs. Tbo crusado was brought about by the Good Citizenship league, which la oovu posed of bo mo of the wealthiest women in Flushing. Each member of the leoguo Is empowered to arrest any person who expectorates upon the sidewalks and see to it that they, are brought before a pollco court and fined $2 for violating tho antl spitting ordinance.

The Car Conductor the Latest to Re mind Him That He Is Getting Old. "Worso and worse," said Mr. Qray top. "I feel young, and I fancy I look young; but other pcoplo don't seem to agree with me on tho looks, "Drivers hold up for mo In the street and sny, 'Go ahead, old mnn'j young men get up to give mo their Boat In a car; children I meet In tho street greet me sometimes smilingly as 'Qrandpn'; various people seem to seo about me signs of ago; but tho worst has happened lntcly. "Twice within tho past week when I havo started to step down from tho Btep of a street car solicitous conduc tors havo put out their hnnd and clutched the hand bar In front of mo, to restrain me till the car had come to a full stop. "Can it bo that I nm really getting old?" Electric Railway Signals. Tho Great Western Railway in England Is experimenting with a promising form of electric signals for the prevention of accidents In fogs and storms. The npparatus consists of tn Ir"n r1' ilaced half-way between Uic regular rails nnd onnected electric al. with tho somophores controll ng switches; and of an electric bell nnd a whistle, car ried In the cab of the locomotive, and actuated by contact with the electric rail as tho train passes over It. Tho middle rati Is elevated at a certain height when tho semaphores are turn ed to Indicate safety, and at a greater height when they Indicate danger. In the first case, when tho locomotive comes In contact, the bell rings In the cab, and the engineer knows that tho way Is free; in the second case, tho whistle blows in the cab to Indicate danger. SWIMMING UlPKICUIr. Acquired by Mnn Only by Skill and Muscular Exertion. Man Is not amphibious by natwro. Natation Is acquired only by efclll and muscular exertion. Tho lower animals have much tho advantage over u in this resnect. In the first place, the brute creation have no fear of water, and In the second, their heads are exceedingly light in com parison with the rest of their bodies. Tho mammalian caput contains little i Drains ann auouuus in b.uubcs, u I that its relative weight Is so incon j slderable that an anlmo.1 can easily keep its mouth and nose above the I surface and respire freely. In man, j on the contrary, the head which is full of brains nnd contains no cavi ties, isexceedingly heavy in propor tion to tho rest of the body, and tho great difficulty he experiences In swimming Is to counteract this spe cflc gravity and keep the organs of respiration above water. To attain this Is the perfection of swimming; nnd when it has been attained man, though possessed of natural disad vantages, Is superior to all animals except fish In the natant art. New York Press French Chemical Scarcscrow. According to recent experiments by Stanllas Tetrad, a widely known French agriculturist, wheat and oth er cereals can be protected against the ravages ot crows, which are par ticularly fond of the grain when its sprouts are Just pushing above the ground, by treating the seeds before they are sown with a mixture of coal tar, petro'.eum and phenlc acid. This treatment which delays tho growth of the seeed for a day or two, but causes no damage, imparts au odor which Is insufferable to the crows, but which disappears after ttio sprouts have obtained a larger growth, when they are no longer sub ject, to nttack.

France Earliest Artists. Tho caves of southern France aro tho most remarkable In the world for their wnll pictures, made by prehis toric men, who woro contemporary with the mammoth, tho rhinoceros nnd the reindeer In thnt country. Somo of tho pictures are en graved In the rock, some are pnmted with different colors. They usually represent oxtlnct nnlmnls, such as cave-lions nnd cave-bears. A faith ful roproeontntlon of the rhinoceros, with Its two horns of unequal length. Is found In a acvorn at Font-do-Gaume. Tho prehistoric artists mndo their pnlnt of ocher of various shades, pulverized and mixed In mortars. Four phases of advance In this troglo dyte art havo been distinguished by explorers, most of whose discoveries havo been made within the past four yars. The Kromarographe. Laurenz Kromar of Vienna hnB In vested a "music typewriter" under tho nnmo abovo given With the aid of this Instrument the composer may produce a typewritten scroll without the trouble of making the characters by band. All that ho has to do la to place himself at tho piano and give free play to his creative fancies.

The registering appara tus, which resombles an ordinary type writer In size, may, in order to re more discordant sounds, be placed at a distance from tho piano, even In an adjoining room. New Form of Bullet. German army officers have recently experimented, with satisfactory ro sulte, with a new form of ribe-ball In vented by an Italian. Slgnor Cel-Rlgot-tl. Tho projectile terminates at Its front end In a screw-shaped projec tion, tho purpose of which Is to Im part a more continuous revolution to the projectllo during Its flight. Tho effect is said to be to give a much longer range and n flatter trajectory of tho usual form. For some reason tho tnvttitin was not accepted In Italy, but it Is said that this fact is regretted by the Italian authorities since tho successful experiments In Germany. Sight Sounding. An Ingenious device by which the depth of a swift river above a high fall In Ontario was ascertained Is de scribed by Mr. H. W. Hlxon In the engineering and Mining Journal. It was too dangerous to make sound ings from a boat, so. Mr. Hlxon planted a transit on one bank, and from It carried a strong wire with a heavy lead weight at tho end, to the opposite shore.The wire was drawn taught and the weight was gradually pulled across on tho bottom of the river. At Intervals a sight aloug tho wire from tho transit o tho point whore the wire dipped into the water gave tho inclination of the straight line. The lengrth of tho submerged wlro and its angle with the water being known. It was easy to calculate the depth at the various points. The Lightning of Vesuvius. Among the remnrkable phenomena connected with the great eruption of Vesuvius In April, 1900, Professor Matteuocl, In a recent report to tho Italian Geological Society, mentions tho electric dlschnrges In tho huge column of smoko, gas and steam that rose, swaying with the wind, thou sands of feci abovo the crater. Many discharges took placo between tho column of smoko and tho earth, and these are described as having been of extraordinary intensity. The great est measured height of the column during the eruption was about 42,600 feet, or in round numbers 8 miles. By Weston and Schwartz NOTHING NEW TO HIM. "The India rubber man has lost his Job."
