Newport and Cincinnati Bridge,
This is special to the st. Louis Dcmocy

This is special to the ST. Louis Democrat:
WASHINGTON, February 9-Thc House
Committee on Commerce agreed to-day to
report Colonel Stevenson Joint resolution
on the Newport and Cincinnati bridge, with
the single amendment of striking out ''one
hundred" and inserting ninety feet. The
resolution as adopted reads as follows:
THAT it shall be unlawful tor the New.
port and Cincinnati Bridge Company or
any other company or person. to proceed in
the erection of the bridge now being con
strueted over the 9hio river from the city
Of Cincinnati. Ohio, to the city of Newport,
Kentucky, unless the bridge shall be so con-
strlctcd that the channel span shall have,
under said span, a clear Roadway at low
water OF ninety feet below the floor beams
suspended from the bottom of the posts
The discussion to-day lasted nearly two
hours. An amendment to compensate the
bridge company was lost. eight 10 four.
Tho vote on the elevation OF one hundred
feet was a tie. but finally ninety feet was
agreed to without a formal division.
Mr. Mathews plan for compensation was
rejected promptly and dccisively. and it
will meet q similar fate i'll the Senate com
mittee: upon this point there is an over
whelminr sentiment in Congress against
thought ninety feet over the main channel
span. with tie d2aw according to the orig
inal plan. would sufficiently accommodate
both interests.
This subject has occupied the attention OF
the House committee every mcetin. but
one for four weeks, and the members have
finally come tO see that the principle In
volved is very important, and fully .iustities
the time giysn to its consi ieration. 1t =

Mr.. Faulkner. of Caldwell, having called
up the Govrrno!S veto o. the act incor-
porating the Louisiana Land Company and
Loan and Savings Bank
Mr.. Faulkner, of Caldwell: Mr speaker
il will be discovered. in reading this bill
that in its provisions it asks no State aid
whatever. On the contrary, it puts some
money i'll the State treasury for educational
purposes. 1t also furnishes facilities to resi-
dents in the interior of the State that they
greatly need. and which they can not now
obtain from the banking corporations in the
city OF New Orleans. Tn" provisions Of this
bill Accommodate them selves to the general
interests of the state by accommodating
those who need money facilities therefore
move that the House pass The bill the Gov

floor will remember what u curse our bank
ing system was before the war. when almost
every parish in the State had its little bank
throwing out money. For one. never can
support any bill which will throw us back
on that old abomnable system. | don't
wish to occupy the time of tho House but
merely wish to call your attention to that
one fact. which, think, is sufficient con

How Hot Iron May Be Handled.

ABOUT the year 1909, one Lionetto,
Spaniard, astonished not only the igno
rant, but chemists and other men of
science, by the impunity with which he
handled red-hot iron and molten lead,
lead, drank boiling oil, and performed
other feats equally miraculous. While he
was at Naples he attracted the attention
of Professor Sementem, who narrowly
watched all his operations and endeavored
to discover his secret. Sementem'S eff
forts, after performing several expert
ments upon himself, were finally crowned
with success. He found that by friction
with sulphuric acid, diluted with water,
the skin might be made insensible to the
action of the heat of red-hot iron a Solu-
ton of alum, evaporated until 1t became
spongy, appeared to be still more effectual.
After having rubbed the parts which were
rendered, in some degree, incombustible
with hard soap, he discovered on the ap
plication of hot iron that their insensibil
ity was increased. He then determined
on again rubbing the parts with soap, and
after this found that the hot iron not only
did not burn the hair. Being thus fal
satisfied, the professor applied hard soaI
| to his tongue until it became insensible tt
the heat of the iron and after having
placed an ointment composed ofsoap mixet
with solution of alum upon it, boilin!
oil did not burn it. While the oil remained
on the tongue slight kissing was heard
similar to that of hot iron when thrus
into water the oil soon cooled, and wa
then swallowed without danger. Severa
scientific men have since successful,
repeated the experiment of Professo
