Ridiculous.

The Louisiana State Legisla-
ture is now in session and to show
how ridiculous and farcecal such
bodies can be, one incident will
demonstrate. The house passed
bill by majority of 81 for and
against. and then ascertained
that the bill had never been read
before the house at all. The
law requires that all bills shall
be read once in full and twice by
title making three consecutive
days, The bill was ia relation to
insurance companies, and so
strong was passion, prejudice
and ignorance that to know it
was against the insurance
devils" was enough Could
any occurance more plainly dem
onstrate why we have such "a bad
state of political affairs. These
men supposed to represent The
Intelligence of the state act like
idiots. Can such men be safe |
custodians of the peoples inter.
est? There are plenty of proto.
types of the Louisiana Legisla-
ture, They are the kind of men
lobbyists get in their work on
whereby they saddle enormous
burdens upon the people.

Removing supernuou. Hair.

DIR. Neville Wood records in an Eng
fish medical journal n case in which n
large overgrowth of hair on n woman's
face was removed by applying the Y
rays. The period of exposure was
limited to ten minutes, and this took
place ten times In one week. the face
and neck being protected with n lead
foil mask. except where the rays were
intended to fall. The distance between
the vacuum tube and the skin was be
tween six and seven inches. Five am
peres of current were used ut n rate
of interruption of about 300 n second.
After the rays had been applied IA
times the darker hairs appeared to be
losing some of their color. and after an
other week they obviously lessened in
number. They began to be brittle and
pale in color and the skin began to
slightly redden. After 45 exposures
the whole of the very thick and downy
growth had disappeared. except nine
least n week after the total removal Of
the others. After the treatment was
stopped only few thick hairs return

the well known process of the cleo
trical needle. DIR. Wood differs from
great many Y ray experts in be-
lieving that the Y ray treatment can
be adopted without either pain or dis

eff the courts fail. science may be de-
pended upon to knock out the ice
trusts" says a chemist in the Kansas
City Star. II venture the prediction
that the average well to do family will
be making its own ice inside the next
two years. For a long time past a
number Of the cleverest inventors in
the country have been trying to devise
small, compact ice machine with a
capacity of from 80 to 500 pounds a
day that can be operated by any do
nestle servant, and they have made
sufficient progress to bring success
fact that nearly all the remarkable i'm
provements which have been made in
large commercial machines during the
last two or three years have suggested
themselves in this tireless search for a
practical household apparatus.
when say that success is in sight,
1 mean that all the most serious prob
lens have been solved, and the difficult
ties that remain to be overcome are
purely mechanical. AS a matter of fact
four or five small machines are al
ready in the market, but none of them

apparatus for use in cities will proba-
bly, obtain its power from an incandes-
cent lamp socket, just like the ordinary
electric fan. The cook will fill up the
receiver with water, make the connec-
ton and go about her business.
There is nothing Utopian about this
little forecast. Private ice plants are
already practical for very small COM
mercial concerns, restaurants, confec-
TONERS, etc, and the household ma
chine is one of the advances along the
line of domestic economy to which we
may look forward with absolute conf
dence- By the way, one of the invent
ors who are pegging away at the prob
lem is a New Orleans man, and l was
told lately that he had turned out a
very successful working model. 1 have
said nothing about liquid air, because
that strange product has proved so
tricky and intractable that 1t Is risky
to venture any predictions as to what
may or may not be done with it. An
other substance which has been ex-
plotted as the 'refrigerant of the fu-
ture' is a SO called freezing powder
