THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE.
Again Looking After the Alum and
Ammonia Baking Powders.

A bill for an net in relation to the
msnufacture and sale of baking pow
ders, to prevent fraud and preserve
the public health has been introduced
in the Legislature at st. Paul. The
bill is intended to prevent the adulter-
alton of baking powders with Alum
and Ammonia, imposing proper PEN
alties to enforce the law, etc.
This shows an earnest desire on the
part of our State representatives to
protect their constituents
The Chicago Tribune, referring to
the question Of legislation on Alum
and Ammonia baking powders, says:
ut deals ia direct manner with an
evil that must be cut down."
DR.. Chas. W. Drew, chemist for the
Minnesota State Diary and Food
Commission, in hiselaborate report of
1892, gives list OF one hundred aud
seventy-three different brands Of alum
baking powders alone-sold in Mime.

Following is list OF the moro wide

we'll as other chemists of'kigh stand
ing, have examined and found to con-
tain Alum. and some OF which con-
tain both Alum and Ammonia. Many
OF the Alum and Ammo .ja. powders
are labeled and advertised as "abso-
lutely pure" to mislead the public.

In addition to the above list, there
is o multitude OF brands sold with a

powders sold with q prize as the tests
show they are composed largely OF

or less; it is sure to contain Alum.

How Rapidly We Think.

Helmholz showed that a wave of
thought would require about minute
to travel mile of nerve, and Hersch
found that a touch on the face was rec
ognized by the brain and responded to
by manual signal in the seventh of a
second. He also found that the speed
of sense differed for different organs, the
sense of hearing being responded to in
the sixth of a second, while that of sight
required one fifth of a second to be
felt and signalled. In all these cases
the distance traversed was about the
same, SO the inference is that images
travel more slowly than sounds or touch.
1t still remained, however, to show the
portion Of this interval taken up by the
action of the brain. Prof. Donders,
by very delicate apparatus, has demon
strated this to be about seventy five
thousandths of a second. Of the whole
interval, forty thousandths are occu.
pied in the simple act of recognition,
and thirty five thousandths for the act
of willing response.

When He Wasn't His Father,

1t is whispered among a certain gay
young set that one of its members, o
college graduate, but regular man.
mas boy" for all that, is feeling trife
sore over an episode that marked his
first day in business. His father, the
president of prominent insurance
company, had made place in his office
for his son, and the young fellow was
eager to take it. 1t so happened that
his first dip into the great sea of worldly
ambition occurred on the same day as
a meeting of the directors of the we'll.
known corporation.
Being sent on an errand to the presi-
dent, the young hopeful burst into the
room where the magnates of the bust
ness world were assembled, and in the
familiar parlance of the home began,
"Papa-"
The august president, with look of
absolute horror, turned to the agitated
messenger, and to the intense amuse.
ment of the others present, and to the
everlasting chagrin of the dudelet,
roared out, Pm not your father-AA

WHAT STANDlSH FOUGHT WITH.

The Firearms Used in the Seventeenth
Century Were Primitive.
The precise population of New Eng.
land, either Indian or white, at the
time of Philips War, can not be stated,
but for the purpose of war it may be
said that the forces on one side and the
other were equal, says the Chautauquan.
At that time the Indians were as we'll
used to firearms as the whites, but the
frelock of those days was but an in
efficient weapon compared with the
musket of later times or with the rifle
of today.
1t seems certain that in Europe flint
locks had been introduced before this
time; but, on the whole, the concur
renee of evidence shows that such
locks were not used in the Civil War in
England, and that both the kings party
and the Puritans still relied on the
matchbox.
The form of this can be readily ex-
planned to any person who has seen the
old t1intlock of the present century. A
hammer good deal larger than the
hammer which afterward held the flint,
but quite like it-had screw which
frightened or loosened the hold which
Two pieces of iron had upon the match.
Each soldier was obliged to carry
some yards of this match with him,
and when the battle began he lighted
the piece of this match which was fixed
in the hammer of the gun. A pan
which held powder, exactly as the pan
OF flintlock afterward did, was in
front of the hammer, with cover pro-
jecting, from which sort of horn ran
up nearly vertical, to be opened by the
hammer when the soldier pulled the
trigger. The fire OF the match COM
municated with the powder, and the
gun went off.
This was sufficiently complicated
way in which men should go to battle,
perhaps in wilderness, where even the
procuring of fire at that time was at
tended with some difficulty. The &C.
counts of skirmishes of those times
are full of occasions when shower put
step to the whole battle. This is be-
cause the fire of the matches was ex-
tinguished by the rain.
10 change this rather clumsy lock
into fintlock, simply required that o
flint of required size should be screwed
into the hammer in the place made for
the match. The flint, then striking up.
on the cover of the pan, made a spark
which fell at the moment the pan
opened into the powder. Eventually
these locks were made with great pre-
cision, so that the gun missed fire very
seldom.
l have no doubt that one and another
soldier in Phillips War found for himself
that flint Indian arrowhead screwed
in the place of his match could be made
to answer the purpose of firing the
powder much more readily than the
match itself could do.
A similar invention, however, as I
have said, had already been made in
Europe, so that it is thought that flint
lock guns had been found in France as
early as 1910.
In 1872, however, just before the
war with Philip began, the law of Mas
sachusetts and the provision made for
her soldiers still required the use of
the matchbox.

Tourists en- route for Pueblo and Colorado
Springs can bv this train go direct in sleeper

note the fact that this train leaves Chicago
after the arrival of all fast trains over trunk
lines from the east. The train is vestibuled.
Its equipment has been built especially for it.
The cars are lighted by gas and heated by
steam from the locomotive
The popularity of the "Rock IIamd'

CAN'T FIGHT IN FLORIDA.
The Attorney General Tells of thu
State Laws on the Subject.


State Laws on the Subject.
Tallahassee, Fla, Nov. 2l.-Attorney
General Lamar, in an interview to-day on
the subject Of the Florida statutes, asap-
plicable to prize fighting, said: Prize
fighting is unlawful in this state. Prize
fighters may be punished under Florida's
revised statutes or the common law
While prize lighting was not distinctive
ofense At common law, Yet the combat
ants could be indicted and punished for
assault, ARRAY or riot. Spectators who
attend, aid, abeU, cheer on and encourage
a prize fight can be indicted and punished
There is no weakness in our statute. If
the proposed fight occurs in
Florida. and parties be arrested. a prop
,erly drawn indictment will hold them
securely TO punishment. Our statute is
stronger, because it does not eX-nonime
denounce prize-fghting. 1t denounces a
fight by appointment. This would secure
the punishment of the parties taking part
in a so-called sparriug match, which, in
this case, would be thin disguise for
brutal prize-fght 1t is safe to say that
pugilism or prize-tighting is against the
laws of Florida, and spectators cOngre-
gated and encouraging the same consti-
tute in the law mischieVOus disorderly
and unlawful assemblages. IL may be
that parties engaging IN a prize-fght
may also be punished under our
statutes against gaming. If so, Corbett
and Mitchell, instead of residing in the
county Jail six months, may secure local
habitation in the state prison for a term
of years. I shall assist the governor and
authorities in preventing the proposed
fight. That respectable people attend
these exhibitions lends them no sanction
in the law 1t follows from the above
that officers of the law can arrest fight
if in progress, and break up the assem-
