A just Tribute to New England.

The other day when the bill was be-
fore the Senate to admit the State of
Mississippi to representation in congress,
a wayward son of New England under
took to lecture the New England sena-
tors for insisting on the fundamental pro-
visions in the bill, one of which was to
secure equal rights and privileges of
schools to all of its citizens.
Senator Edmunds of Vermont arose
in his seat and paid the following just
tribute to New England and the sons of
New England.
Mr.. President Il wish to say few
words and few only in reply to a re-
mark that fell from the Senator from
Wisconsin, [Mr. Carpenter, and another
that fell from the Senator from Ken
lucky, Mr.. Davis, touching New Eng
land. / do not know what it had to do
with this debate. I remember that the
Senator from Wisconsin admonished-I
think that was the language admon-
ished New England that she had better
beware of her steps upon this question !;
and the Senator from Kentucky pointed
out to us that we by and by should run
upon rock and meet the storm and the
whirlwind that we were raising for our
future destruction by our course upon
this bill. What does this mean? What
have we done? Have the New England
Senators undertaken to force this policy
upon everybody? Have we been voting
against Republicans of other States p
Have we made any sectional question of
this? Not at all, sir. Some of us have
voted one way and some of us have vot-
ed the other.
What then am / to understand when
New England is admonished to be care
ful about this? May we not vote with
majority of Western Senators without
sin? What is to happen to us? Do We
feel too strongly the value of equal rights
and of general education? Is New Eng
land too advanced for the age? She has
been in advance sometimes, it is true
l have been taught by history that New
England began the Revolution. She is
not ashamed of it. There is Lexington,
there is Bunker Hill, there is Faneuil
Hall there are Adams and Allen and
Warren and Greene. We are not ash
amed of them. Whatever reproach
Senators may think they bring to us we
will bear proudly. And ever since then
she has not been backward. l do not
boast of it; only repel this admonition
that is given us and this tempest that is
threatened. Ever since then we have
not been backward in social and political
progress. We have taught our children
the honor of labor, the equality of men,

and at the surface appeared only about
three feet wide. Upon digging down,
the solid soda was discovered in defined
mass like quartz ledge. A shaft has
been sunk beside it to the depth of fifty
feet, from the bottom of which drift
has been made twenty-five feet into the
deposit Of soda, without getting through
it. In fact, very little is known OF the
depth or extent of this huge deposit of
soda, except that there is apparently a
million tons or more of it in sight.

A VAST MINE OF SOLID SoDA.-The
Gold Hill (Nevada) News states that
about fifty miles east of that place and
Virginia City is an immense and appar-
emily inexhaustible deposit of almost
pure soda. 1t is owned by parties in
Carson and Virginia, who use it in the
manufacture of soap, and also supply
quartz mills with it as chemical agent
in the reduction of ores. They also sup
ply it to drug and grocery stores, where
it is sold for washing and other purposes
for which common soda is ordinarily
used. 1t is free from all earthly matter,
and consists of eighty per cent soda, the
balance being salt or something of the
sort. The deposit is in the midst of an
alkaline fiat seventeen acres in extent,

SPIDERS KILLING TRoUT.-Seth Green
the noted pisciculturist, has been for
long time puzzled by the terrible destruc-
tion of very small trout, and his investi-
cations haveat length resulted as follows:
There is small worm which is a fa-
vorite food of trout and many other
kinds of fish. This worm is one of the
greatest enemies which the young fry
have. 1t spins web in the water to
catch young fish, just as aspider does on
land to catch flies. l have seen them
make the web and take the fish. The
web is as perfect as that of the spider,
and as much mechanical ingenuity is
displayed in its construction. 1t is made
as quickly and in the same way as spi-
der's, by fastening the threads at differ
ent points, and going back and forth un-
til the web is finished. The threads are
not strong enough to hold the young
trout after the umbilical sac is absorbed,
but the web will stick to the fins and get
around the head and gills, and soon kills
the fish. / have often seen it on the
young trout, and it has been great mys-
terry and caused me many hours, days
and weeks of wonder to find out what
was wound around the heads and fins of
my young trout and killed them. l did
not find out until lately, while watching
recently Matched whiteish. These are
much smaller than the trout when they
begin to swim, and they were caught and
held by the web. l found ten small
whitefish caught and held by the web in
one night. The web was spun in little
whitefsh preserve, into which had put
one hundred young fish. The threads
spun by this worm seem to be much finer
than the common spiders web, and they
are not visible in the water until the sed-
iment collects upon them. They can
then be seen very plainly. These webs
cannot be spun where there is much cur.
rent, and can be easily seen in still water
by q close observer"

famous "jumpist?" The Elmira On. Y.)
Gazette has reprinted some extracts from
a paper published in that village forty
years ago describing the exploits of Sam
Patch in jumping the Genessee Falls.
& successful leap made October IL, 1928,
was thus described -
Sam has made his great jump. The
day was lowery and rainy. However,
the number of three hundred persons as
sembled on the island to witness the
feat; the Canadian shore was crowded.
To view the platform erected for the
fearless Patch from the Biddle stairway,
did not appear so grand, as the platform
reached only about two-thirds the height
of the bank but to descend to the mar
gin of the water, in the gulf beneath,
and there look up at the perpendicular
ladder. made you imagine that it would
require superhuman powers to accom-
plish such an enterprise. Sam assembled
the ladder and remained on the top
about ten minutes, resting and adjusting
himself for the leap, during which he
was repeatedly cheered by the specta-
tors. At length he rose-every eye was
bent upon him, he waved his hand and
kissed the star-spangled banner that
floated gracefully over his head, and
then precipitated himself like an arrow
into the food below. Twas matchless
and tremendous leap. He very soon re-
appeared and swan to the shore with
great ease. Then it was that painful
and unpleasant yet indiscribable sensa
ton was driven from each breast by the
noon of joy which succeeded on seeing
that he was safe. Then it was that the
benumbing spell which had reigned from
the moment he arose on the platform,
was broken by the burst of the voices of
congratulation.
The jumping hero made his last and
fatal leap November Is, 1929, thus
chronicled:
"Sam Patch is no more He made his
last leap from scaffold erected on the
bank of the falls this afternoon. The
staging was elevated twenty-five feet.
He sprung fearlessly from it, and de-
scended about one third of the distance
as handsome as he ever did. He then
evidently began to droop, his arms ex-
tended, and his legs separated and in
this condition he struck the water and
sunk forever! 1t was a fearful leap,
and fearfully it was terminated. The
prevailing opinion is that he became
| lifeless ere he reached the water. He
had drank fearfully in the morning, but
was not apparently more overcome than
he was on Friday last. 1t was truly a
solemn scene, where SO many thousands
were witnesses to an immolation which
had its origin only in an effort to satisfy
the craving appetite of human curiosity.
Sans last request, understand was that
the funds collected should be sent to his
mother, if his adventure should termi-
nate fatally. His body has not yet been
found. The hight of Gennessee Falls,
from which he jumped, is 100 feet. The
staging was Is feet above the falls. The
distance which he descended was there
fore 125 feet"
Sam Patch was native of Pawtucket
r. l., where some of his relatives still re-
side.

payments resumed, the pres sure becomes SO
great that there is scarcely possibility of
