On motion OF Mr Powell, the request

Special committee on window in Fire

Councilman Lcmme|t, from Com

No action.
A number of bills were read
On motion of Mr.. Morgan. the same
were ordered paid.
Messrs. J. B. Carson and Maxwell
Hamilton, of the Fire Company, APP
peared Mr.. Carson was the spokes
man. He asked that the pavement
from city hall to NIephani" street be
laid, and gave strong reasons therefor.
With the present arrangement, or want
of arrangement, the apparatus could
mol be- easily and quickly handled, and
in wet weather Il great deal OF mud was
carried into Fircmen's hall. This
apartment had been handsomely fur
nished and carpeted, and the Fremen
wished to keep it in its present oeanly
condition. Mr.. Carson then asked for
800 feet of new hose, and gave the sit
uation as stated in the JOURNAL last
week.
Mr.. Hamilton endorsed MIR. Carson's
statements.
Clerk Smith arose and said that
the company had instructed the COM
mittee to ask for no more hose than
was actually necessary.

1t paid under Gordon, Spates and
Clark.
Under German, Smith, Baughman,
and Gambrill it did not pay expenses.
Under the latter auspices, had its
income been treble, it would not have
paid, because it was never the policy
or the intention for it to pay expenses.
From the time that German took
charge it was dedicated exclusively to
a faction of the democratic party and
the financial. social and political pro-
motion of its chief.
SO that it is utterly out of place and
far-brought to ask tile people whether
the canal ever paid.
If the reader wants to know, let him
ask A. p. German the vital question.
If Mr.. German answers nay, ask him
where he got his boost in political life
how, in the utter absence of qualities
and reputation as a statesman, he got
into the United States Senate-and how
he grew from political weakling to
an autocratic ruler of bold, bad
faction, held together by tie similar
to that which cements bandiHt?
To German and his retainers, satel-
lites and parasites the canal has been
a river of life rivaling in resources of
gain the auriferous sands of Pactolus.
Ask these whether it has paid.
THE Legislature of Virginia recent
ly enacted law prohibito,y of the
importation of slaughtered beef from
points over one hundred miles distant,
the Act taking effect March 1st.
On the same day, it is reported, the
sale of Virginia "tobies,' popular
development of Old Dominion tobacco,
was stopped in Chicago.
SO that it would seem that certain
brand of prohibition does not pay.
Not only so. The Virginia Act en-
powers the butchers of that State to
regulate the price of meat according
to their notions Of what the consumers
can stand.
Maryland is preparing for the same
situation. a bill before the Legisla-
ture, providing that no fresh meat of
cattle shall be offered for sale unless
the animal has been inspected and ac
cepted, stands ID good show Of becom-
ing law
In that event, the same effect of an
eXorbitant price of beef will follow the
same cause which has already operated
to Virginia's disadvantage,
Restrictive business legislation is Il
sword with two edges,
THERE is an impression abroad that
the Is cents per 500 of additional tax
alton, provided for in the Water Act,
is to be laid at once and kept upon
the property Of the town.
This is a mistake.
L
only TO be levied to secure especially
the payment of interest if, at any
time, for am reason; the income OF
the Water Works should prove made
quate to pay charges. The provision
was put in the Act particularly to cover
deficiencies of the first year which
hight occur before any income can be
expected-while the works are build
ing.
After that the income will amply
cover all expenses, and be source Of
revenue besides-to retluce taxation in
stead of increasing it.
Don't vote against the Water Act ON
account of levy which may never be
laid at all.
For it is expected that the premiums
on the bonds will more than pay the
first years interest.

Neither is organic vegetable matter ncccs-

We mistake the eontemporaneousness of

In other words, ''what does not

not that the typhoid fever caused the
water to be impure as cice rersa.

Cleanliness is closer to godliness in

THE approaching corporate election,
including, as it does, the water bond
issue, is bringing to the front some
features that do not promise well.
1t is unnecessary to name them, but
the taxpayers of the town owe it to them
selves to unite on sir good men of their
number at once and elect them.
Don't wa t for Il primary.
But go ahead and put up your ticket
and leave the primary to the b'hoys.
THE State has no retained attorneys or lob
byists-Richard ". Venable.
No. Everybody is represented at
Annapolis but the people-the poor
people.
These, it is true, send representa-
tives there, but somehow they do not
count Instead of standing like i'm
pregnable fortresses against all ag
gressions upon popular rights and in
terests, they yield, and yield, and
yield to this and that specious claim
until the surrender is complete.
The State would be better off with
out the Legislature-unless this body
could apprehend and stick to ifs true
functions as environing the peoples
interests like walls of inextinguish=
able fire.

THE GAY TOURAcO:
"hen Exposed to the Rain His Beautiful
COlors Disappear.

Colors Disappear.
AT the present moment the menagerie
OF the geological Society, Regents
Park' has an unusually large number of
touracos, species of birds which has
not before been exhibited in this coun-
try. Touraco is the native name of a
beautiful group of birds peculiar to
Africa, and sometimes called, from their
food, plantain eaters. They are gen.
orally supposed to be allied to tho
cuckoos, and they are not altogether
unlike some of them in their external
characters. An African traveller oh
served 80 long ago as 1918 that the
plantaDl eaters during heavy showers
hide themselves in the thickest foliage,
as IL they had special dread of get
ting wet.
There is nothing particularly remark
aole ABOUT this; in fact, many birds show
dislike to getting wet feathers, but
the touracos have a much better reason
X for this dislike than most other birds.
M. Verreaux, the traveller referred to.
discovered the reason when he ATTEMPT
ed to catch touraco which was shelter
ing itself during a storm of rain. He
found that when he grasped the feathers
Inc brilliant crimson coloring matter
stained his hands, and later he discov.
cred that the feathers could be washed
almost white.
10 find colors that ''run" in the feath-
ers OF bird IS most unexpected, and it is
not Surprising to hear that one natural
1st who purchased some skins thought
himself to have been deceived with arti-
hcally-painted birds. The color comes
out SO readily that when a touraco ia
shot and falls into pool it stains the
surrounding water not SO much with its
olood as with the red dye from its wing
1eathers. Iouracos are not, however, en-
urely colored by this peculiar substance;
they have great deal of green about
them, and this green Is due to the pres
ence OF green pigment which appears
to be convertible into the red substance
by prolonged boiling. The green pig
ment, unlike the red, is fast" color.
Most birds that are colored green owe
this color, at least partly, to fine mark
ings upon the feathers, and all 'smetal-
lie" colors, such as the brilliant preens
blues and reds Of the humming birds are
due to optical effects caused by the
structure of the feathers, and have moth
ing to do with any pigment of the same
color within the substance of the feath-
ers. There are thus two sources of
color among birds, and it is remarka-
BILE fact that in many cases where tho
male birds have brilliant coloration
and the females are soberly clad the
color is mechanically caused color;
for instance, in the humming birds.
The touracos do not show this difference
between the sexes; the female resem-
bles her mate, and there is no superior
ity on either side, but an absolute equal
ity.-Chambers' Journal.
