"A HAL passing upon a dynamo
meter with one hand exerts a force
equal to three-quarters of his own
weight, and a dog lifting his lower
jaw does it with a force equal to
eight times his own weight. But
crabs and mussels are even more

no joking matter, considering that
it is effected with force equal to
twenty-eight times it's own weight.
Worse still is to be caught between

closes its shell with a force equal

the weight Of the oyster without

follows the tlay,-the policy of the
administration towards our new
possessions will have to be entirely
changed.
The officers of the Nation Guard
of 80 states, who have been in
Washington for the purpose of try,
ing to get the annual Congress
sional Appropriation for the Ma
tiOnal Guard increased from $780,
600 to s2,OOO,OOO, succeeded with
the House Military Committee,
which favorably reported a bill for
the increase, and the favorable
attitude of Representatives and
Senators toward the National
Guard, makes it very probable
that the bill will get through.
1t is not generally known that
the President has the right to at
tend the executive session of the
Senate, but he has, and Washing
ton and other earlier Presidents
frequently exercised that right.
A rule of the Senator says: "When
the President of the U. S. shall
meet the Senate in the Senate
Chamber for the consideration OF
executive business, he shall have
a seat on the right of the presiding
officer" Another rule of the Sen
ate gives the President authority
to convene the Senate in any place
he please other than the Senate
Chamber and expressly directs the
presiding officer and Senators to
assemble at the place appointed
by the President. There are lots
of things about this government OF
ours not generally known even
among those whose business 1t
should be to know. 1t is doubtful
whether dozen Senators knew of
| the existence of these two rules
until newspaper man pointed
them out.
Recognizing the impossibility of
getting action from the Senate on
the several reciprocity treaties
with British colonies, Secretary
Hay has arranged for an exten-
sion of the time within which they
may be ratified, which had almost
expired, for one year.
If the number of applications for
charters for ;Aatienal bsnks with
Than 5000 popnIation, under the
new financial law, continues to in
crease at the present rate, there
will be few towns without their
National Banks when they are all
acted upon.
Although the Senate has agreed
to take up the Quay case April 3,
some believe that the case will not
reach vote at the present session.
The reason for this belief is that
the agreement was accompanied
by proviso that the case should
not be allowed to displace any ap-
preparation bill, or the ''unfinished
business Of the Senate. It is now
admitted that those opposed to the
seating of Mr.. Quay are in the
minority, but it is a minority skill
ed in parliamentary tactics, and if
it desires to stave off a vote dur
ing the session, can doubtless do so,l
but none Of them will acknowledge
such a desire. 4

message to Congress for Legislation
authorizing the placing of Gen.
Wheeler and Gen. Fitzhugh Lee on

when Gen. Wheeler first arrived
