had been invited TO the palace, in order
that the empress might think them per

The mountains of the moon are i'm
mensely larger in proportion than those
of the earth. The moon is but I-49th
the size of the earth, but its mountain
peaks are nearly as high. Twenty-Five
are higher than Mount Blanc, which is
within a few feet of three miles high.
The highest is little more than four
mics and half.-Chicago Chronicle.

It was an American clergyman who
held the theory that Adam and Eve
were black people. His idea was that
when man appeared on the earth the
whole climate of the globe was as hot as
nowadays in mid Africa, and so our first
parents were necessarily as dark as ne
groes. When the ages rolled on and the
northern climate became colder, man
took to wearing clothes and dwelling
under shelter. with the result that his
skin was bleached and he became a
white being, while the negro in the tor
rid zone kept his original color.

SCIENTIFIC SNAPS.

The largest size bug IN the world is
found in Venezuela. 1t is called ele-
plant beetle, and mature specimen is
credited with being about half pound
in weight.
The largest flower in the world grows
IN Srmatra. 1t is called the Rafilesia
Arnold, and some of the specimens are
80 inches in diameter. The central cup
will hold six quarts of water.
Dew is great respecter of colors. To
prove this, take pieces of glass or board
and paint them red, yellow, green and
black. Expose them at night, and you
will find that the yellow will be covered
with moisture, and the green will be
damp, but the red and black will be left
perfectly dry.
The "cold moon" is not cold at all
when she is visible, but very, very hot.
Her day is about n fortnight long, and
during her period of brightness her
temperature probably rises to 220 de-
grees F. During the period OF dark
ness, on the other hand, the lunar Their
mometer is supposed to drop to about
800 degrees below the Fahrenheit zero.
Then she may be truthfully said to be
cold.
French peasants have a belief that if
o fire with much smoke is made ia the
stove on the approach of storm, safety
from lightning will be assured. Schus-
ter shows that the custom is based on
reason, as the smoke serves as n very
good conductor for carrying away the
electricity slowly and safely. In 1000
casesof damage by lightning 6.3 church
cs and SIS mills have been struck, but
the number of factory chimneys was
only O.3.

THE LOGAN CASE.

The case of I. Logan against the city
of Roanoke was still being heard in the
hustings court yesterday morning and
the evidence was all in by 12 O'Clock. 1t
was then found that mistake had been
made in the plaintiffs plea and. the case
was non. suited. 1t seems that the plea
made by the plaintiff for damages did not
claim damages for permanent injuries,
and as that was the instruction the court
was asked to give the jury, the court re-
fused to do so.

Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1897-01-04
LET THEN Sr1Rr RtGnr.

The incoming legislature, like all its
predecessors. Is besicgcd by Il small
army of political placc-hunters These
men insist that they must be provided
for on the legislative pay roll whether
their services are needed or not. The
Bee has admonishcd successive lcgisla-
lures without regard to political com
plcxion against the reckless waste of
public funds upon needless clerks, door
keepers, messengers, jantors and cloak
room guardians. 1t is an outrageous
imposition upon the taxpayers of the
state that the salaries of legislative en-
ploycs should be greater than the sal
aries of the members.
Twenty years ago the first legislature
was organized under the present con
stitution of Nebraska. That body CON
sisted of ia members. With II new
code of laws to be framed to conform
with the new constitution and with all
the work incidental to the legislation
required by Il growing commonwealth
the legislature of 1877 managed to carry
on its business with scvcnty-ninc en-
ployes. of which number the senate car
ricd thlrty-thrce on its payroll and the
house forty-siX. The legislature of 1887,
composed of 1913 members, or only nine.
teen were than that of 1877, carried on
its payroll 22O employees. of which num-
Der 122 were credited to the senate and
nincty-cight to the house. The reform
legislature of 1891 carried on its payroll
220 employees. of which 1lS were at.
tnchcd to the senate and Ill to the
house. only inceSsant hammering pre-
vented the last legislature from enroll
ing all the roustabouts who came to the
capital at the opening of the session,
but its economy did not begin to oper-
ate until it had mustered in log clerks
and employees for the senate ana eighty
for the house. Why the senate, with
only thirty-three members, should re-
quire more paid attendants than the
house with 100 members is II mystery
that has thus far deficd solution.
1t is to be hoped that the legislature
will this year start out right by setting
its face against this abuse of lcgisa-
tive pr6rogative. The legislature is en-
titled to the services of such assistants
as may be required to conduct the bus
mess in hand efficiently, but there is no
valid excuse for paying personal obliga-
tons or political debts with sn2curC
employment at the expense of the
public.
