being ended, Henderson called atten-

neoessitated q roll call of the Senate
and soon afterwards the necessary forty
three Senators had responded to their
names. In order to gain little more
time for morning business. the reading
of Saturdays journal was dispensed
with.
The Senate at 1890 q. m. resumed
consideration OF the tariff bill, the pend
ing question being three items in the
glass and china schedule (S4, IS and s6).
which had been reserved last Friday at
the request OF Aldrich, and which again,
at his further request, went over with
out ac'ion. This brought the Senate to
schedule "C"-'metals and manufac-
lures of'-the first item in which was
the insertion Of an Rmendms at placing
iron ore on the dutiable list at 80 cent
per ton.
The debate on this amendment lasted
the whole day, and was almost part Of
an interesting and somewhat exciting
character. On the Democratic side il
was confined 10 Vest, Hill, Butler and
Brice, on the Republican side it took in
Sherman, Plat, Hale, Aldrich and
Others, while the Populist party
was represented by Ptfer.
An amendment offered by the latter
to put iron ore on the free list was
voted down, with only four votes in its
favor-those Of Dolph, Hill, Kyle and
PHer. An amendment to increase the
duty on iron ore from 40 to 60 cents o
ton WAS pending at the adjournment.

THE DAY IN THE HOUSE.
The Time Passed in Discussing the Deduo
ton of Salaries for Absences

WAsHINGToN. May 81 The House
went promptly in.o committee OF the
whole, Richardson, OF Tenn, in the
chair, for the consideration OF the legis-
lative, executive and judicia- bill under
the shve-minute rule.
Boatner (Dem. La offered the amend
ment, of which he gave notice Friday,
to permit the House to grant leaves of
absence to members without forfeiture
OF pay. He withdrew it, however, while
Hayes (Dem., Iowa) proposed an amend
ment declaring the section GO, revised
statutes) has been repealed. The adop
ton of this would effect the same end
as Boatner's amendment The amend =
ment was attacked at length by Dear
mond, who made point of order
against it as being in effect change of
existing law, and because 1t was not
germane TO the bill.
Chairman Richardson ruled that the
point of order was we'll taken. From
that decision Hayes appealed. A divis
ion of the committee showed % ayes
aud 70 noes. BY telles the vote was
announced to be ayes 90; noes 1l3 So
the chair waa not sustained.
The amendment being submitted to
the committee, the vote ON division
WAS ayes LIZ; noes VA. IollerS were
demanded and the vote through them
was announced ayes lis. noes S4, and it
was declared to be adopted. Boatn or
renewed his amendment directing tn
sergeant srt-arms OF the House and the
secretary OF the Senate TO deduct from
the pay of members Of the House and
Senate, respectively, the pay for alb
sences from their seats without leave
Of the body to which they belong. L n less
they certify that such absence WAS due
to sickness of themselves or families.
To this amendment Dearn ond made
the point Of order that it changed OK
listing law, and Chairman Richardson
sustained the point for tho reason that
he believed section 40, revised statutes,
TO be in force still and therefore it was
q change Of existing law.
Boatner was engaged in conversation
at the time the ruling was made. and
when he learned of it the timo had
passed within which under the rules he
could appeal. lie asked unanimous
consent to be allowed to.take an'sppeal,
but this was refused.
Boatner offered his amendment TO the
section providing appropria for the
office OF sergeant alarms. Chairman
Richardson again sustained the point OF
order against it. and then Bostner took
his appeal. The chair was sustained
1873 to is.
At sos o'clock, having disposed OF
fifteen pages OF the bill, the com mi ttee
rose, and the House adjourned until to-
morrow.

Making n School Globe.

A hollow wooden or iron sphere is
first formed with wires projecting at
opposite ends to indicate the poles.
Then strips of damp paper are spread
all over it; other strips of paper
soaked in paste are laid over them,
then other strips and SO on, till the
total thickness of the layer is about
an eighth of an inch. When com
pletely dry the pasteboard envelope is
cut in the line OF the (future) equator,
and is separated from the mold in two
hemispheres. These are fastened by
nails to the two ends of wooden rod
exactly equal in length to the diameter
of the globe, and the edges of the
hemispheres are glued together SO
that we get n pasteboard sphere. Two
wires projecting from the two ends of
the wooden rod penetrate the paste
board, and form the poles of the
globe. The pasteboard is then coated
six or more times over with whiting,
glue and oil, until considerable sub
stance has been laid on, each layer
being dried before the next is APP
piled. At this sage of the manufac-
ture any irregu!arity on the surface of
the globe is remedied by working Il
metal semi-clrcle round and round the
sphere till the surface is made quite
smooth. The surface is then marked
by means of beam compass, with
lines to represent the circles of lati-
tule and longitude. -Goldthwaites S

lost their lives by drowning; falls had
disposed of eighty-three; hanging
ended seventy-six, and firearms sixty.

their death. The greater number OF
the corpses were those of men, and
