In the criticism of the Senate's delay in
the passage of the tariff bill the fact is over
looked that the progress of the work on the
present bill has been as rapid as that upon
any similar measure which has ever passed
that body. 1t is true that this should be no
excuse for the present tardiness in giving
people the desired relief. But it shows that
tariff legislation has always been slow. Few
people fully appreciate the labor necessary
to change law, surrounded, as the tariff
law is, with so many complications ant in
trcate problems. To change law such as
this is one of the most important pieces of
legislation that ever comes before legisla-
tive body and naturally requires care and
painstaking to do justice to all interests in
yolved.
The following shows the time which was
consumed in the passage of like measures
in the past:
Walker Tariff, passed the Senate July 2S,
1916 and was approved by the President,
July 30, 1916.
Merrill tariff, 1861, reported to the House
March u, 1860, passed the Senate February
20, 1861, and was approved March ., 1861.
Tariff bill of 1882 passe, the House June
27, 1882, passed the Senate February 90,
1881, and was approved March 3, 1SS3

A letter from Winchester, Va, mentions
the interesting fact that Mrs. Bette Taylor
Dandridge, the only surviving daughter Of

Doesn't Believe In High Tension.

Thomas A. Edison is not to bo number ed with tho adherents of tho lately herald cd method of producing light by the use of high tension currents. This Is the cur rent of which Nikola Tesla is the strong
 est advocate. We must expect, according to this theory, wonderful revolution In the lighting of our houses during the next decade. It will come from invisible sources, and the rooms will be in glow of light, an essentially modern condition.
 II do not think people would use it," says Mir Edison, as quoted by the New York Press, 'because 1t docs away with some very essential qualities which good light should possess. The human eye is adapted by nature to encounter red and yellow rays in light with which 1t comes in contact. We have these in tho sun, in gas, in the incandescent light, in the can dle, etc. When wo reduce the amount of energy per candle power, we lose these red and ultra yellow rays. The glowworm produces light, but without any of these red and yellow rays to which we are ac- customed. The energy is very small. It is the same with these high tension cur rnts. Now, no one would want sepul
 chral light-the light we arc accustomed to connect with graves and vaults. No
 The eyes are built for very ultra violet or reddish rays, for a compound ray light
 not one ray light. Nature is against it. "

 Now, similar magnet poles repel and dissimilar magnet poles attract. In the second figure there is shown form of motor generally used as toy. On each side arc tho poles of magnet marked N and s. In the center is the revolving part or armature with the projecting arms. Around each arm is wound coil of wire, thus making each magnet when an cleo tric current flows through the wire. The wire is connected at intervals to the little black sections (K), representing metal seg- ments, which are arranged in circle and separated from one another by pieces of insulating material represented by white spaces. Pieces of metal called brushes on opposite sides of this, rubbing on the metal strips, convey in this way an elec- tric current from the connecting wires

As soon as this is done the direction of the current around b and is changed, and the magnetism of these poles is reversed, and they are then repell- ed from s and N, and so tho motion is kept up.
