tain that the licenses under the old law had
been annulled.
lengthy discussion between the court and
counsel followed A. to the wording of the law.
Hh cLAhKH's DISSENTING OPINION.
Following this Mr.. Clarke read several de-
cisions. among them one of the Supreme Court,
in which there was . dissenting opinion. He
bad directed to his attention to the right of
congress to enact q law to interfere with the
vested rights Of citizens
But, he said. Il suppose the District will
claim that liquor dealers have no rights ss long
as they deal in this accursed stuff.
=, but, he added. II am going to read the
dissenting opinion if am ordered to sit down. +"
BuNaLINa ACT
This liquor law" said Mr.. Clarke, 'is the
most bungling act ever passed by Congress, al
though 1t was evidently the intention of Con-
gress to make the licenses continue until the
beginning OF the next year." The Commits
sioners. he thought. were Of the same opinion.
If your honor will say from the bench that
you Will decide the cases upon the question Of
equities" replied counsel, Il could soon answer
the question"
Judge Miller asked counsel if it would have
been an equitable arrangement for the District
to have issued licenses under the new law and
given to the applicants credit for the amount
paid for the license under the old law
''Why not?" asked the court. docs the
hardship arise from the fac. that he is required
to pay the money or from the fact of putting
the dealer under the regulation?'
Continuing, Mr.. Clarke said that some deal
ers were able to paw 81 1000. while others were
not able to pay $500. Some of them had pro-
cured their licenses under the 500 fee. who
could not afford to pay higher sum.
The court inquired whethe. or not the holders
OF old licenses would be entitled to u rebate or
settlement upon the repeal OF their licenses
W hen the Commissioners reject an application
there is a settlement, and the court suggested
that this repeal was, perhaps, in the nature of q
rejection.
Commenting on the status Of the liquor
traffic the judge said that under the present
condition OF affairs the holders of the old
licenses are not liable to prosecution under the
law under which their licenses were granted,
nor would they have been liable had Congress
continued their licenses.

Many girls at school, now robust

We're not always so. Infancy is a
time of trial and of weakness, and
it seems a merciful provision that
in later years all knowledge of that
critical tme-a struggle between
lie and DEATHS entirely blotted
out. Many a life, now established
upon a firm basis, owes its sub
stantiality to Johann Hoff's Malt

invariably been strength and the

Monte Carlo.
MESToNE, March IA few further details
regarding the suicide at Monte Carlo Of the two
Americans. WE'LL and Robb Of New Orleans have
come to light.
The two men appeared to have been travelling
for pleasure. Every day they went the Monte
Carlo Casino and gambled. In four DAYS they
lost SIS, 900. and apparently had resolved upon
making final attempt to recoup their losses.
The statement that they killed themselves on
Monday night erroneous, for Yesterday
they sent telegram to Mr.. White at the
Hotel Heller in Paris. The contents of this
telegram have not been divulged. After the
dispatch OF this message they proceeded to the
Casino and again played They found no
change in their luck and continued to lose
heavily.
Late in the day Robb received a telegram,
which he showed to his friend WE'LL. The
men conferred together for some little time
They then retired from the Casino and, Judging
from what is known, at once went to a retired
part of the Casino grounds and killed them
selves. The Casino officials are observing the
usual reticence about the case.

An Interesting Us, of Pilot ,graphy


A French photographer lately invented
a process by which bit of ordinary
paper--the leaf of book, for example
= can be made sensitive to light without
affecting the rest of the page. Acting
on this hint the French War Minister has
begun to take the portraits of conscripts
and recruits on the paper, which gives
their height, complexion, age, etc., and
the cheapness and swiftness of the op-
tiation, which is already in use in the
French army, is something remarkable.
1t costs only one cent to get two copies
of portrait OF JacquesBonhomme-one
for his individual register and the other
for his muster roll; and so rapid is the
process that in a few hours whole regi-
ment can be SO photographed. The
soldiers file along, one by one, and each
sits for three seconds in the Photographic
chair and the thing is done.
They even mark the mans regimental
number on his breast with chalk, and
thus get complete Identification of him
in case of desertion or death, or when a
discharged soldier presents his claim for
pay or a pension. oston Advertiser.

A War Ships ,suns Disabled by Fro t.

Up to the present we have not felt
able to advocate the general use of cleo
trio motors in place of hydraulic gear or
auxiliary steam engines on board ship;
but the effect of the recent frost on Her
Majestys ship Benbow dscloses weak
point in hydraulic machinery which has
no parallel in electrical work. The gear
of the heavy guns has been not only dis
abled, but has suffered such serious in
jury that it has been found necessary to
take the greater portion Of it to pieces
and to forward it to the manufacturers
for reconstruction and repair,-Londos

Remarkable Rainfall.

We often hear people declare that dur
ing certain heavy shower sat least a
loot of water fell" That such phenom-
email shower would be impossible shall
now attempt to prove. An acre is equal
to 6, ,212, 40 square inches; an inch of
water over the surface of an inch would
mean 6,272, $40 cubic inches, which, at
the usually estimated rate of 227 inches
to the gallon, means $4,000. This i'm
mense quantity of water would weigh
220, 900 pounds or exactly 100 tons !!
Just think of it, and this calculation is
on the basis of only an inch of rainfall,
not a foot. Yet many reliable ~ men
will tell you that they have seen wooden
buckets of ten and twelve inches in
height rained full in less than an hour.
Such declarations are simply nonsense of
the most nonsensical kind.
Throughout most of the United States
the amount of rain which falls in twenty
four hours rarely exceeds one inch, which
means 100 tons of water to the acre.
There are exceptions to all rules, of
course, and occasionally the fall is much
nOIc TcndThuOit. nus Ut ldtDuoht
Long Island, on the 22d of August, 1S43,
nine inches of rain fell in less than eight
hours; at Catskill, N. Y, on July 26,
1919, fifteen inches of wa er fell ln six
hours; at Wilmington, Del, on July 30,
1881, Il inches fell in less than two
hours aud half, and at Fairfield, Ohio,
on the 18th day of August, 1861, eight
inches of water fell in eleven hours.
Such phenomenal showers are neces.
sarily quite limited in extent, for if every
particle of moisture we're wrung from the
atmosphere it would cover the entire
globe to depth of less than four ~
inches.
TIE southern slopes of the Himalays
Mountains record as much as 610 inches
of rain in single year, but to counter
balance this Peru, Egypt and parts of
Persia often pas, whole years without
rain.--St. Louis Republic.

Rules for American Soldiers.

The 'Articles of War" which the
newspapers mention once in while
are the rules governing the armies Of
the United States They are con-
tanned in Sections 1912 and l343 of
the Revised Statutes of the United
States and were adopted in 1906 sub
stantially as taken from the British
articles of war in l775. Section l342
contains 12S different articles, which
formed the original articles. The
whole collection is ancient and accord
ing to the Globe-D Democrat might be
revised with great benefit; it is long
and, as the articles must be read pub.
E licly at least once every six months,
the day on which they are read is
looked forward to with disgust by
both officers and men. The first
eight articles deal with enllstments,
musters, false returns; articles 8 and
10, with responsibility for stores;
articles II to IA, with furloughs and
musters; 10 to IS, with damaging or
losing stores: 10 to 30, with dsre.
spect to president, to officers, mutiny,
challenging in duels; 81 to 35, with
absence; 36 to 81, hiring duty, drunk
enness, cowardice, dissertion; 50 and
81, with misconduct at divine service
and the use of profane oaths; 81 to SO,
with good order in commands. de-
struction of property violence to per,
sons bringing provisions, crimes dur
ing rebellion; 60, frauds against the
United States; 81, punishment of
conduct unbecoming an officer; 63 and
Ga, persons subject to articles of war;
65 to II, treatment of prisoners; ~
to ia, conduct of court-martials; 115
to 12l, courts inquiry; I22 to 124,
rank of officers; 125 to 127, effects Of
deceased soldiers; 1928, publication of
articles; and section 1343, punish.
