THAT TOTE TO TAX SAYINGS.


 We give place this morning to statement by Mir. Pigott in which he explains that he did not vote to tax deposits in savings banks because in section 67 of the original Wilson bill there was clause which provided that the dividends, interest or annuities accruing to corporations not doing business for profit" should not be sub ject to the two per cent. tax. How far this relieves him from the charge made against him depends upon what the phrase doing business for profit" means. We will not bubble about that, but will point out that he did vote to tax the savings of the people two per cent. whenever and wherever such savings were invested or placed so that they could be so taxed. If, as MT. Pigott claims, some of the savings banks of this region did not come under the provision for the two per cent. tax, they were about the only business institutions that didn't. It is evident that the original Wilson bill was arranged to hit as many people with two per cent. tax as it could, and MT. Pigott voted for it. If MT. Wilson and MT. Pigott meant by the phrase doing bushes for profit" to let out the depositors in some of our Connecticut savings banks they were more considerate than they got credit for being.

FASHION NOTES.
Not to be Hidden.

The crop of winter coats is especial ly attractive. The garments look cozy, warm and business-like. They are made man fashion with comfortable double breasting, long skirts and big, warm pockets. That most cozy of all materials, chinchilla cloth, is again in vogue, and after look at new coat one wonders how on earth women es- capped from freezing last winter.

Viscount Drumlanrig, the eldest son of the Marquis of Queensberry. was killed by the accidental discharge of his gun while shooting recently. He had been private secretary to Lord Rosebery and was created an English peer as Baron Kelhead last year. Lord Drumlanrig's uncle Lord Francis Douglas, was killed by fall from the Matterhorn in 1865; his grandfather, the seventh Marquis of Queensberry, was killed by the explosion of his gun in 1858. In 1745 the accidental dis charge of a pistol killed another Lord Drumlanrig and sent the title of Duke of Queensberry to the Dukes of Buccleugh; in 1886 the Earl of Dalkeith, the eldest son of the present Duke of Buccleugh, was accidentally shot while deer stalking.

The Supreme court of Minnesota has also recognized the bicycle as entitled to equal rights in the public highway with the horse and wagon. The case before it arose on a suit for damages brought against bicyclist by a man whose horse had been frightened by the wheel, and who had been injured in the runaway. The court dismisses his suit and proceeds to say that the bicycle cannot be banished from the public highway simply because it is not an ancient vehicle and was not used in the garden of Eden. This is in line with the decisions of other courts on the general subject.

Moths.

Dr. Aldricks Of Kentucky is an en-
thusiastic entomologist. When asked
for some information on the subject he
has made a speciality of, he said: "To
study the habits of the moth family you
must live and grow up with them. The
finest varieties fly by night, and it is
with some difficulty that they are cap
tured. The usual way is to go out with
hand net and a pot Of stale beer,
sweetened with quantity of molasses
or sugar. A dash of this mixture on
the bark of the tree, whose leaves the
moths feed upon, is the bait which lures
them to death. As soon as they light the
net is sprung over them, and later on
they are asphyxiated by being dropped
in an etherized jar, after which they are
carefully mounted and labeled. have

agation and filled with leaves of their

As the Boy Saw 1t.

. A Detroit business man was making
some purchases at a Woodward avenue
fruit stand the other evening when he
saw street gamin take an orange and
coolly saunter off. There was no occa-
sion to raise row over it, but the gen.
tleman felt it his duty to follow the boy
and observe:
81 sawyou hook that orange, my boy.
1t isn't of much value, but if you begin
this way where will you end?"

"Oh, but was looking full at you, "

The Color of Animals.

There is a connection between the
color and character of animals AL
though much of the subject is yelled in
considerable obscurity, as general rule
it may be stated that vivid, conspicu-
Gus coloring accompanies strength, cour-
age and often ferocity. The black or red
hair and the ruddy skin indicate carbon
OF iron somewhat in excess, a sanguine
temperament, rapidity of thought and
action and courage frequently bordering
on rashness. In the brute creation it is
rather character that has modified color
in the course Of the survival of the fit
test. The timid animal, bird or fish pos
sessing the most neutral coloring lived
longest and left most offspring and so
gradually the conspicuous members of
the family were eliminated. This neu-
trail coloring as we'll as color that
changes for protective purposes is the
external characteristic of shyness and
timidity, alertness of sense, keenness of
vision and scent and swiftness rather
than strength of limb. -Pittsburg Dis

Two solid bodies, one yellow, sulphur
the other black, carbon, unite under Ger
tain circumstances to form colorless
liquid called sulphide of carbon, which
must be handled with much precautlon
on account of its great explosive prop
erty, The soluble property OF sulphlde
Of carbon renders it valuable to take
spots off of garments. If its odor Is
more disagreeable than that Of banzile
or turpentine, it has at least the advan,
tage of being dispelled quickly i'll conso-
quence of the prompt evaporation OF the
liquid. There is nothing equal to it to
take off spots of paint ON clothes. 1t
does not do it, however, without Great
ing great fear in persons who Dc it for
the first time, for they see on the very
place where, to their great pleasure, the
paint had disappeared large white
spot, the nature of which is hard for
them to define, and the more they brush
the more unsightly and TIE larger that
white spot grows. Is then the garment
lost? No, for fortunately after few
moments the spot melts away never to
show again. 1t was snow and nothing
more. The sulphide of carbon in evapo-
rating takes heat from the cloth and
surrounding air, and the result Of that
is sudden lowering of temperature suf-
ficient to freeze the vapor of the atmos
phere.
Without operating on your clothes
you may make the experiment in the
following way: Fill small vial with
sulphide of carbon, taking great care to
do it far from all fame or heated stove.
Then close the bottle with a cork stopper
through whichyou have previously bored
small hole. In this hole place piece

roll, The paper must reach to the bot
tom Of the bottle and about an inch
above the cork Within Is minutes you
will see the outside of this paper cover
ed with snow, the quantity of which
gradually increases. The liquid has risen
through the pores of the paper as the oil
Of lamp through the wick. When it
gets to the open air, it evaporates, and
the water contained in the surrounding
atmosphere, being brought to a temper
allure below 80 degrees, has been frozen.
If you divide the paper outside of the
bottle into several pieces, you obtain
flowers and most charming effects You
may make the experiment in summer
and in the full rays Of the sun. The re-
suit will be obtained then more prompt
ly, evaporation being more abundant. -

DAYS BLAZING ORB.
Sir Robert Ball on the Substances of Which
the Sun Is Made.

Let US see if we have the necessary
data for ascertaining what this solar ma
terial must be. We are first confronted
with the fundamental question as to
whether it is likely to be composed of
elements found on the earth. There was
a time no doubt when it might have
been urged that in all probability the
solar elements were so far different from
any bodies known to terrestrial chemists
that the solar clouds must be constituted
of something altogether beyond our cog
nizance. But this view cannot be sus-
tanned in the present state of science.
Nothing is more remarkable in the re-
cent advance of knowledge than the
clear demonstration of the fundamental
unity between the elements present in
the celestial bodies and those elements
of which the earth is composed. 1t is no
doubt true that we have found grounds
for believing that there may be one or
two elements in the sun which we do not
find here.
We have indeed assigned to these
dimly discePned elements the hypothet-
ical names of coronium and helium
But even if such bodies exist at all they
are certainly wanting in the essential
qualities that must be attributed to any
element which purports to be the active
component of the photospheric clouds
There cannot be reasonable doubt that
the sun is mainly composed of elements
both well known and abundant on the
earth. 1t is clearly among these known
bodies that it is our duty to search for
The characteristic photospheric material
AS the terrestrial clouds consist Of
water they are derived not from sim
pie element, but from composite body
formed of the gases-oXygen and hydro
gen. The multitude of composite bodies
is, of course, innumerable, and the task
of searching for the solar constituents
would therefore seem to be an endless
one unless we were in some way en-
abled to restrict the field of inquiry.
This is just what the vast temperature
of the sun permits us to do. 1t is we'll
known that at heat resembling that at
which the phOtosphere is maintained
chemical compounds cannot in general
exist. Ordinary chemical compounds ex-
posed to temperatures of such elevation
are instantly resolved into their elemen-
tary components. 1t is thus manifest
that in the endeavor to find the photo
spherio material we have not to scan the
illimitable field of chemical compounds.
We have only to consider the several
al IO1io- +,o,,,eo11roc
Thus at once the research is narrowed
to choice among some Ga different ma
terials, this being about the number of
the different elementary bodies. Most of
them have already been actually de-
tected in the sun, and it is very likely
that the others do really exist there also

fair way to early passage by that
