Committee on Agriculture Yesterday for
the purpose of presenting certain resolu-
tmns OF the commission. and OF varions
scientific institutions in the country in
favor of the proposed dictatorship in chief
Of scientific business in the Department Of
Agriculture.
Their argument was based upon the de-
STABILITY of having a permanent officer in
charge OF the purely scientific work and
cited the organization of the Smithsonian
and the government surveys as instances.
Surgeon General Sternberg OF the Army,
explained necessity for permanency in the
office and freedom from change for pOliti-
cal reasons. He believed this officer
would save to the government many times
his salary" every year in administrative CX-
penses, while lie would greatly multiply tie
efficiency of the sixteen different bureaus.

1T is curious" says a Maine lawyer,
"how prevalent the notion is that a per-
son cannot testify as witness in court
to anything seen through glass. What
would you do with all the folks that
wear spectacles and see everything
through glass; asked a Maine judge
not long ago, referring to this notion.
II the glass through which an action or
event was seen was wayy, so as to dis
tort the appearance of objects, that fact
might nowadays raise a doubt as to the
reliability Of the evidence. but could not
exclude it. The prevailing notion doubt
less had its rise in very ancient DAYS.
when all the glass in use for windows
was very much warped and blurred
Such glass may be seen-1 single pane
of tin the Office of the little hotel in
Cambridge village. framed and kept as
relic. Where such material was in
use it is little wonder that witness
was prevented from testifying as to
what he saw through il. Itwas in COM
mon use III England at the time of the
settlement of New England. and natu-
rally in the early homes Of this continent
1t was the best that could be had But
such rule where modern glass is in
common use would be nonsense. -
