1t would appear that the last leg
exceeded it's authority in
providing for additional members
of the legislature and the present
assembly seem to be planning to do
the same. The constitution Of the
state provides that an enumeration
oil the residents of Montana shall be
taken every ten years beginning with
1895 and as the federal census Is
taken every ten years, the carrying
out OF this constitutional provision
would have resulted in an enumera-
ton every five years. The constitu-
ton further provides that until
otherwise provided by law the men,
bership of the Legislature shall he one
senator from each county and fifty
five members of the lower house and
further says that the Legislative as
semblies following both the federal
and state enumeration of inhabi-
taEts shall revise and readjust the
according to the ratio to be fixed by
law. 1t would therefore seem that
the trainers OF the constitution ON
templated that the membership OF
the assembly should be fifty-five but
that this number could only be in
creased by the legislatures following
the taking Of the census and then in
accordance with the ratio estab-
lished by law. The Legislative as
sembly Of 1891 fulfilled fits duty but
each succeeding Legislature has ex-
ceeded it's duty i'm that it has in
creased the number of members OF
the lower house without u census
having been taken. Had the con-
stitution been obeyed "a n would
have been taken in 1885 but our legis-
lators considered we were too poor
and made no provision for the emu
meration. Will some member Of the
legislature who endeavOrs to follow
the mandate of the constitution
please inform his constituents how
the present Legislature u increase
the membership legally.

The proposed arbitration treaty
tain, which was agreed to by Secre-
tary Olney and Sir Julian Paunce-
foote, will probably be radically
amended before il is ratified by the
senate. When sent to the senate the
treaty provided that all disputes be-
tween the two countries should be
submitted to- a board Of arbitrator
consisting Of three members of our
supreme court and three members of
the highest British court, the decision
of any five of these to be binding or
the decision Of u majority to be final
il not protested within three months
by either party. In cases Of a tie or
of the decision being protested King
Oscar Of Sweden should act as UNI
pire. The senate committee on for
eign relations Saturday last decided
by a unanimous vote to limit the
treaty by the adoption of the follow
affects the foreign Or domestic policy
OF either of the contracting parties OF
the relations of either with any other
state or power, by treaty or other
wise, shall be subject to arbitration
under this treaty, except by special
agreement" Fear that the shrewd
English diplomats might have some
deep laid scheme for the overthrow
Of the Monroe doctrine Is said tn
have prompted this amendment and
the precaution seems wise. The SEN
ate committee also decided To elimi-
nate King Oscar from the matter en-
tirely and leave the choice of an
umpire to the powers when one was
considered necessary. Whether Lord
Salisbury will accept these amend
ments is uncertain. 1t 10 probable,
however, that the amendments will
overcom the opposition i'm the SEN
ate and that it will be ratified by
that body.

ed and BE n millionaire.
There have been in recent years sew
eral instances OF sudden wealth. South
Africa and Cripple Creek have produced
miilionaires over night. and bicycle
and patent medicine promoter in Eng
land made $10,O0O,0O0 in as many weeks,
says Les!ie's Weekly. There are sew
eral thousand people who are each
worth $1,000,000 or more, and there are
several more thousand who are on the
road to become millionaires. Most of
these are persons who are getting their
riches on small fractions of cent. The
street railway kings who are rising TO
millions and tens of millions are fully
satisfied with part of one cent of the
nickel they collect, because there, are
so many of them.
The sugar kings have reduced the
price and improved the quality of sugar,
but as long as they get their fraction
on each pound the Americans buy they
can make a profit all the way frcun 20
TO so per cent. The coal oil monopoly
has also reduced the price and i'm
proved the product. but its little frac-
tion makes the greatest money-maling
in America. The man who
invented the patent beer stopper is
getting a bigger income than the pres
ident Of the United States. 4 cheap
headache remedy is allowing its pro-
pretor TO spend 100000 year and still

The party given last evening by MI
and Mrs. r. D. Cooke in honor OF Mrs
w. P Curtis, of Chicago, was very
delightful affair. There were ABOUT
fifty persons present, including num-
ber from out of town
The evening was most agreeaoly
spent by a general intermingling OF
guests, and the diversion of dancing
was indulged in by almost every body
Peach ice cream, cake and coffee
were served the guests when the eve
ming was half gone.
A large portion of the pleasure was
the attempt on the part of some to coax
their sedate feet to grasp and command
the fascinating two-step. The efforts
were laudable for those who tried and
amusing to those who looked on.

THE PARATORNAOO.
Safeguard Against Cyclones Invented
ny "a Famous Scientist.

StNA' - tsS "a sAAhst y slcHeS
by Famous Scientist.
No less an inventor than Mr.. Turpin
has come forward with a safeguard
against cyclones. He believes his dis
covery will be of especial interest to
Americans. He says that "the scourre
comes at the same annual epochs and
usually at the time Of the equiuoXes;"
that the route OF cyclones has never
changed; that it is not the cyclone
(Which is "a formidable wind of sup
prising swiftness') that is disastrous,
but epiphenCmena, which are produced
in its heart-such as waterspouts or
tornadoes, funnel-shaped masses of wa
ter, the gyratory movements of which
have a swiftness of 200 meters a Sec
ond, In them lies the real danger. Mr..
Iurpin calls his new protective appara-
tus 'paratornado" On the side of
town from which cyclones invariably
approach there should be placed num-
Der of small metal towers 40 meters
high, whose top cylinders are filed with
some exceedingly explosive material.
Six arms are attached to each of these
cylinders. Bell springs, thatare able
to resist all pressure except the shock
OF a tornado, control the arms, which,
being struck by a cyclone, will bring
in motion a chain whose tractive power
skaters priming of illuminate. A ter
rife explosion will follow and disperse
and dispel the tornado. 1t may form
again further on, but at least one town
will have been saved.
