THE LEVIES TOO HIGH.

Prosecutor Bow Talks to Township
Trustees at the Conrt House.
Answering to a call issued by Prosecut-
ing Attorney Bow the trustees of Perry,
Lawrence, Lexington and Tuscarawas
townships met at the court house Friday
1t seems that the tax levy in the town
ships named has exceeded the legal limit,
and number of citizens have refused to
pay their December taxes. The amount
involved is about $4,000, The trustees
explained that they had made the levies
higher than they should have been, hav-
ing found precedent for SO doing. Mr..
Bow cautioned them not to do so again.

A. NJ. McCarty, attorney for the Farm
ers' Bauk Of Canton, has discovered an
altogether different aspect on the Satur-
day half-holiday law, especially as applied
to Canton. At the request Of his bank,
he inquired into the law, and has made a
discovery. Canton does not come under
the law at all. A quotation from the
Ohio Weekly Law Journal will best ex-
plain what he found in looking over the
law:
"We have noted the law making Satur-
day afternoon half holiday twice, omit
ting in the second notice that the law only
applied TO cities of $4,000 or more inhab-
itants. The omission of this provision in
the second notice was an oversight. The
law applies to cities Of $4,000 or more in
habitants."
The supreme court questions some of
the acts of the last legislature, and claim
some of the special legislation is uncon-
stitutional. There was special legislation
for nearly every city in Ohio and Canton
came. in for its share on the matter of
bonds amounting to 10000, for the new
North Cherry street school building. The
opinion Of members Of the school board,
however, is to the effect that this is per-
fectly legal, and only following Of pre-
cedent, and they will 60 ahead with their
plans.
The auditors and treasurer's offices
were closed Saturday afternoon under the
Saturday law, and the banks Of Canton
have made provisions to close at noon,
commencing next Saturday. 1t is prob
able that these will be reoonsidered.

the Court House Not Open, and

The cashiers Of the various banks of the
city met in the board Of directors rooms
in the First National Bank yesterday
aftern BON. The object Of the meeting was
to discuss the recently passed Saturday
half holiday law" which provides "That
each and every Saturday of each and
every year shall be one-half legal holi-
day beginning at ~ o'clock noon and
ending alta O'Clock midnight for all pur-
poses whatsoever.
After q thorough discussion of the pro-
visions OF the law it was decided to close
all the banks In the city at noon on Sat
urdays beginning Saturday, May 8. The
closing Of the banks on Saturday after
moons will necessitate them to open Mon
day evenings, and request has been
made to all manufacturers, merchants
and business men in general who now
pay their employees on Saturday, to change
their pay day to Monday.
The township trustees will change their
time Of meeting to some other day, the
county commissioners will also observe
the law and close their office, and in all
probability little business will hereafter

FACTS Asou1 rHsRmoMEreRs.
Sensitive INSTRUMENT which Registers
Heat from the Moon.

Sensitive tnstrumcnt which Registers
Heat from the Moon.
To tell whether a thermometer ac-
curately does its work invert the in
strument, says the New York World.
If the mercury does not fall to the end
or if it breaks into several small col
umns, the thermometer contains air
and is inaccurate. If perfectly made
the slender thread should fill the tube
or break off at the bulb and fall to the
end of the tube.
There is another interesting fact
about thermometers. Nine persons out
of ten think the mercurial column
round, but that is not the case. The
thread of mercury in Thermometers is
fiat. If it were round the column
could hardly be seen, for the opening
of the tube is as fine as the fnestthread.
Some eight of ten years ago Boston
manufacturer introduced scheme of
coating the back of the tube with
white sizing. That makes the column
of mercury stand out clear and dis
tinct.
lueIluOlitlCES dIS Cheaper anu Dct-
ter than ever before. You can now buy
a heat marker for 25 cents, but first
class instrument will cost you two dol
lars. A cheap instrument is like cheap
watch-it is unreliable. The reason
for this is that a perfect thermometer
has a scale of its own. The cheap ther-
mometer is made on guess work. Hence
you see difference of two, three or five
degrees between the rmometers in the
same locality on the same day.
The most sensitive heat marker is
the Crookes. 1t consists of four arms
on steel pivot, rotating like
a miniature wind gauge, and the whole
affair is inclosed in glass tube from
which the air has been exhausted. The
light of a candle one or two feet away
causes the arms to rotate Quite as
sensitive is the thermopile, which is
used to detect the faint rays of heat
transmitted from the moon and stars
to this cold world.

A woman in Germany the other day
had to be sworn 1000 times in suit
in which her deceased husbands estate
was involved.
The husband, says the New York
World, had been lumber dealer, and
during his long business career a GER
tain cabinet maker had kept a run
ming account with him. Their business
relations were so complicated at the
time of the merchants death that there
was difference of opinion between the
executors and the cabinet maker as to
the amount the latter owed the estate.
The matter was brought into the
courts, and at the trial the reading of
the defendants affidavit consumed II
hours. Then the widow was cited be-
fore the magistrates, and during her
testimony, SO a foreign paper says, was
obliged to make oath 1900 times, once
for each of the 1900 litigious points
involved in the suit.
This took three whole sittings of the
tribunal, but she won the suit.

Treasure Found in q Cave.

About 40 years ago a wagon train
loaded with valuable goods and about
$4,000 in gold and silver coin, en- route
from the City of Mexico to the United
States, was attacked near Rincon, Mex,
by band of brigands and all the mem
bers of the wagon train were killed and
the booty seized, says correspondent
in the st. Louis Globe-Democrat. The
robbers were overtaken a few days
later by detachment of soldiers and
all were killed. The money and stores
had been secreted by the outlaws and
could not be found. The other day
Rafael Villegas was prospecting for
mineral ten miles south of Rincon,
when he came upon the entrance to a
cave. He explored the cave and found
several sacks filed with the money
taken by the exterminated band OF
robbers.

ONLY A STONE WALL STOPS 1T.
Little Animal That Makes q Most Re-
markable Pilgrimage.


BY far the most remarkable pilgrim
age ever observed among the lower ami
mails was that witnessed in Norway,
not once, but several times within this
century, says the New York Mercury.
A party of fishermen upon one occa-
sion were encamped On the borders of a
small ford, and were mending their
nets when they observed a number of
lemmings-a little animal allied to the
beavers-coming out of the wood that
slSifted the shore. At first, seeing the
men, they ran back; then others APP
peared, and more, until hundreds were
upon the bench.
As the day passed the numbers con-
tinually increased until before night
the camp of the men was alive with the
little creatures that now began to take
to the water. Thousands came pour
ing from the woods in the ensuing few
days, followed by hawks and other
predatory animals that feed upon them.
They passed on into the water, swim
ming over it, scores being drowned
during the passage, the rest reach
ing the opposite shore and moving on
into the woods, impelled by the strange
instinct.
1t is said that nothing deters these
pilgrims but a stone wall, which they
cannot scale. Piles of grain and fodder
they have been known to tunnel
through, their instinct being to move
ahead in given line.
The fishes make remarkable pilgrim
ages from one shore to another, and
in such vast bodies as to defy descrip-
ton.

STATUE OF BENTON.
Missouris Contribution to the Capitol

hissOurIS Contribution TO the Capitol
Gallery at Washington.
The statue of Thomas II. Benton,
which is to be placed in the capitol gal
iery at Washington, will be the work
of Alexander Doyle, the sculptor, of
New York city. The design for the
statue, which is the gift of the state
of Missouri, was put in competition
and finally awarded to Mr.. Doyle. 1t
will be of white statuary marble and
of heroic size. Thomas Hart Benton,
who for so years in unbroken succession
represented Missouri in the senate, was
born in 1852. He stoutly upheld the
right of Missouri to be admitted to the
union in his journal, the Missouri In
quirer, in spite of the fact that slavery
existed in the state. When his eff
forts were finally successful, he was
rewarded by the grateful Missourians
by being sent to the senate in 1920.
There he remained until 1880. The peo-
pie of the state realized that he had
largely contributed to gaining admis-
