The resolution of the committee on priv.

Corbett was not entitled to seat In tnt
senate from Oregon. was then laid before
the senate The resolution OF the commit
tee was adopted-50 to 10 (vote same as de-

with Kyle, McLauren with Pritcnard'
White with Proctor, Quay with Morgan
Murphy with Platt, Walthall with spoon
or, Cannon with Daniel.
The first named in each instance were IA

Corbett not entitled to seat and the other
opposed to it
on motion of Hansbrough the senate
proceeded to the consideration OF a Dill ex-
tending the homestead laws and providing
for right of way for railroads in the district
of Alaska.
Stewart offered an amendment to section
one of the bill, providing that no homestead
should be located within 1000 feet OF nav
igable waters. In the course OF the discus
sion 6f this proposed amendment, Rawlins
of Utah antagonized the entire measure.
charging that 1t was artfully drawn In the
interest of spectators and not In the IN
terest Of the public. Interrupting Raw
Inns, Carter of Montana, member Of the
committee reporting the bill. said there
was really no foundation for the charges
he had made, as every point he had re-
ferred to had been carefully considered by
the committee.
Rawlins still maintained that his point
against the measure was well taken. and
that railroads to which valuable rights
were granted through the provision of the
measure were not sufficiently and care
fully bound by this grant, If they should
fail to comply with all the conditions OF
The grant. He said that the fake railroads
and paper corporations were given prefer
entail rights in Alaska over the people
who desired honestly to file homestead
claims.
Carter pointed out the fact that the right
of way provision for the pending measure
was by a reproduction of the law which
has been on the statute books for many
years.
AS it had seemed to the committee wise
and prudent to prevent the gathering In of
paper rights of way over the district. it had
provided that no corporation could get a
right of way and hold it for more than
twenty-four months without building at
least twenty miles of railroad.
Before Rawlins concluded, at 4:50 p. IN.
the senate went into executive session. At
5:35 the senate adjourned.

Riyetless Steel pipe.

A mechanical achievement of some
Importance is being accomplished at
Adelaide, West Australia, viz, the
making of about nine miles of steel
pipe, from fifteen inches to twenty-six
inches in diameter, after new design
of rivetless, longitudinal joint. Each
section is twenty-six feet long, with but
four pieces, two locking bars and two
plates. Each plate is cut with square
ends after passing through tram Of
levelling rollers, following which a
planer with four cutters on sliding
table cuts the two longitudinal edges
parallel, and sixteen rollers, eight on
each side, carried by the bending rolls,
upset the edges in dovetail of uni
form width and depth. Thence the
plate goes through hydraulic press,
which upturns the edges, after which it
passes through rolls that bend it into
a half circle, two of these being placed
in grooves, in locking bars, and tempo
rarily clamped together. The pipe is
next subjected to hydraulic pressure
Of fifty tons per inch on an expanding
mandrel, the grooves closed and the
usual asphalt coating applied. The
pipe is jointed in the trenches with
steel rings and lead.

Women Are aneer.

Women are certainly queer folks
when it comes to dress. They'll gaze
at an Indian squaw logged out in her
feathers and beads and other gim-
cracks and pity her for week, and yet
at the moment they consider it quite
the thing to wear two very high and
deliberately jewelled combs in their
hair when it is dressed high for even
ing functions. Not content with this,
they form an archway between the
combs of jingling and jewelled orna-
ments and surmount the whole with a
towering bunch of aigrettes, the sight
of which would make. the Audubonites
fairly weep with despair. The up-to-
date woman also wears one earring,
just as big and just as snowy as she
can possibly afford, in her left ear, and
she is careful to ARRANGE her hair so
that it is plainly visible.

FINISHING a burglar.

A reformed burglar tells of an I'M

while pursuing his illegal calling: II
remember, long time ago, going late
one night into room in which there
was one man sleeping His clothes
were on a chair near the head of the
bed. l was bending over these clothes,
and about to take them out in the hall,
when the man suddenly woke up.
Without a moments hesitation he
threw his arms around me. I was
young then and strong, but this man
was four times as strong as l was
81 think he could have crushed me
if he wanted to, and he put me out of
the house with the greatest ease. But
before he did that he carried me over
to the table and lit a light. AS he
looked at me my watch chain caught
his eye, and, do you know, that man
took my watch and chain and kept
them. Weekly Telegraph.

What is even regarded as vile weed
can, with a little stretch of magma
ton, be turned into an ornamental
plant or delicious vegetable. This is
especially the case with the common
burdock, Lappa major School boys
all know it from gathering the burrs
and COMPRISING them together by the
curved points of the floral involucre.
This is all they know about it. 1t is
difficult to see anything more to be de-
spised in the burdock leaf than in the
leaf of the rhubarb. 1t appears that
it is largely used in China for food.
But it is stated that if the STALKS be
cut down before the flowers expand
and then be boiled the taste is relished
equally with asparagus. The leaves
when young are boiled and eaten as we
eat spinach In Japan it is in uni
versal use. Thousands of acres are
devoted to it's culture But in this
case the root is the object. 1t requires
deep soil to get the roots to the best
advantage.

FORMATION OF CYCLONES.
Inception of the Twissers That Deal De-
struction and Death


TO get an idea of cyclones forma-
ton imagine large circular pan or
tub with quite large hole in the mid
die of the bottom With this hole
plugged, ill the vessel with water; then
draw out the plug and watch. There
is first rush of water from all direc-
lions toward the hole and a turbulent
effort to get through. Then the water
surface above begins to sink and swirl,
the particles gradually circling around
and around, and rushing, ever faster,
toward the center. Al last there is ac-
tually hollow space through the cen
ter, around which all the water in the
tub is whirling, sluggishly near the
rim, but with more and more violent
rapidity toward the middle, until it
rushes downward through the bottom.
Now, if that water were air you would
be watching little cyclone turned up
side down, for the air rushes upward
instead of downward.
In the cradle of cyclones during the
summer months, when the land and
the water grow hotter and hotter be-
cause of the longer days than nights
layer of air, hot, light and full Of
vapor, is for time held down by dens-
er air above it. Restless, expanding,
tumultuous, it moves about like beast
| at bay, until thinner place in the air
above is found. Then UP it madly
rushes and into the vacuum left be-
hind the lower atmosphere hastens
from all directions, pushing and twist
ing and pouring upward until it has
fallen into a regular spinning around
a common center. The cyclone, once
formed, rushes away from the tropics
toward the pole, and begins its career
of destruction, bruising, wrecking and
sinking the luckless ships which hap
pen to be in it's path. More and more
of the surrounding atmosphere is
drawn into the whirl, until the storm
often covers an area nearly 1000 miles
in diameter. Sometimes it filings itself
upon our Atlantic coast and tears
fiercely through the forests, fields and
cities. Then again it sweeps away
across the broad ocean and dashes it.
self upon the coasts of Europe. Once
in while it so adroitly avoids the
land that we never know it has passed
until ships come in torn and broken.

Russian women Criminals.

Russia's women criminals are for
the most part peasants who have muir
dered their husbands. The prevalence
of the crime is believed to be due to
the custom of marrying off girls long
before the age of puberty. To this is
also ascribed the excessive number of
deaths among very young children, the
mortality under one year of age in
Russia being 81 per cent, whereas the
European average is IS per cent.

DO ROCKS GROW !?
An Inhabitant of Biarratz Gives Instances
Showing That They Do.

An Inhabitant of BiarrHtz Gives Instances
Showing That They Do.
A circular recently issued by the
minister of the marine calls attention
to unknown rocks along the seacoast
and offers premiums to fishermen who
discover rocks not shown by the charts.
An inhabitant of Biarritz writes to
Cosmos: What is taking place at
Biarritz is probably occurring along
other rocky shores. and may well ex-
plain the deficiencies of our charts.
Submarine rocks grow, and in the
course of few years a reef may be
found where there was none when the
chart was prepared When l was a
child, some so years ago, the rocks
lying furthest west in the belt of rocks
surrounding our promontory hardly
showed at lowest tide. An old fish
erman told me that when he was ten
years old he was on Biarritz boat
near the rock then covered by several
feet, of water, saying: Child, if you
live to be sixty years old you will see
this rock out of water
To-day the rock which, in the child
of spirit.
hood of the old fisherman, was covered
with water. and in my childhood was
hardly uncovered at low water, is two
hundred meters above the water.
"a more recent fact. Fifteen years
ago a fisherman perceived at distance
of two hundred meters from the rock
just mentioned, beyond the belt that
protects US, new rock which was be-
ginning to grow Today this rock,
which was not in existence twenty-five
years ago, shows itself at high tide.
1t is at a spot where the charts in
dictate ten meters of water at lowest
tide, and endangers navigation"
Evidently our charts are not revised
often enough. If rocks grow" as
claims the correspondent of Cosmos,
revisions should be made every ten
years. But do they grow? There is no
doubt that the seacoast rises and sinks.
There is a pronounced see-saw move
ment along the Atlantic shores, but is
it sufficient to cause rocks to grow out
of the water in half century? The
question is interesting, illusion is easy.
but indifference would be criminal in a
matter so dangerous to navigation as
submarine rocks.

A friend of ours who is in the habit

has to do is to find out what he thinks.
