II the lawmakers keep on awhile
longer the salaries Of all the officials
in the State will be lower than the
wages exacted for underground work
by the Miners Union, There appears
to be a number Of people in the coun-
try who think that the State and
County Offices should be let out to the
lowest bidder. The proposed slash
ing Of Supreme Court salaries simply
means that you will presently have
only men on the Supreme Bench who
cannot make decent living practic-
ing law. When that state of affairs
comes about it means that the men
will seek places on the Bench who
will not look to the State for their liv.
ing. They will look to the litigants.

most famous Of them is the Monk
Wearmouth Coliery, the principal seam
Of which lies at the enormous depth OF
Ito feet below the German Ocean
One hundred thousand pounds were
spent in finding that seam. At depth
of $50 feet water poured into the work

ing engine had to be fixed up. The

The Earl OF Kincardine owned a won

the receiver sold them for S6O2, 600.
Mr.. Rogers said that he had, at that
time, never sold anything but locomo-
tives and butter-and he told the truth.
He invested in securities and did not
sell them. If the securities were forced
to fictitious value, Jacob Rogers paid
no attention. He bought much real es-
tate, that has increased in value, and
ne has never sold.
At Pompton he owned a stock farm
of many hundred of acres, where he
raised blooded cattle. thoroughbred
horses and maintained extensive game
preserves. Butter making was his hob
by. He sold the product of his dairy at
40 cents a pound-never varying. When
the demand for it grew. he was offered
a larger price. His reply was that but
ter such as he made was worth 40 cents
a pound and no more
He never married, and his only rela-
tives are nephews and nieces. To these
he leaves S250,OOO. together with two
$1,000 annuities. The balance of his es-
tate, estimated at SS,OO0,OOO, though il
may far exceed this, he bequeaths as
an endowment to the Metropolitan
Museum of Art of New York. The will,
it is believed, will be contested by dis

Jacob 5. Rogers, Famous Locomotive
Builder, II at Victim.
Jacob S. Rogers, who succumbed to
the intense heat in New York during
the hot weather, was the richest man
IN New Jersey and was perhaps the
most eccentric millionaire New York
has known. He was born in 1924, and
in 1856 succeeded to the locomotive
business his father, Thomas Rogers,
had built up In Paterson, n. j., after
having constructed the first locomotive
made in America.
In 1891 Jacob S. Rogers retired, leay-
ing the management Of the works to
X. s. Hughes. Hughes died two years
ago, and then Mr.. Rogers astonished
the world and Paterson in particular
by announcing that he would close the
Rogers Locomotive Works when ont
standing contracts were filed. Remon-
STRANGE meetings were held, and Mr..
Rogers was asked to reconsider. 1t was
pointed out to him that he would throw
two thousand men out Of employment.
His reply was characteristic.
Il have paid them for their work, .
he said, land am under no obligation
to them. AS for Paterson. care moth
ing. The works are mine, and will

And he did Then 1t was proposed to
Mr.. Rogers that be should sell the

however, that no offer was made.

Placing the Police Burden.

AS means Of reducing the taxes for
the maintenance Of the police depart
ment OF Glasgow 1t has been proposed
that 80 per cent Of the rent charged by
landlords Of public houses above the
sums which such houses, minus the IL
censes, would let for shall be paid into
the municipal treasury. There are
many public houses in Glasgow the
rents Of which are enormously out Of
proportion TO the accommodation af-
forded, and it is argued that the land
lords ought to be made to share their
excessive profits with the city.

Earthquake shocks with their often
fatal consequences are very convincing
proofs of the vibration OF the land sur
face Of the globe. There are. however.
oscillations Of this surface more con-
slant and historically more important
which take place so gradually and
quietly that they never appeal to the
senses Of persons in the ordinary walks
Of life.
In lecture before the University OF
Aberdeen. DR.. A. Keith expressed the
opinion that both the gorilla and the
chimpanzee are cOdescendants Of an
anthropoid animal which lived in the
early Miocene time. and he suggested
for this creature the name Of protrog-
lodytes. He estimated that more than
5.00O,OO0 years have elapsed since the
separation Of the human stock as a dis
tinct animal form.
The feasibility Of stocking the city
parks with butterflies is under official
consideration in London. The object is
to furnish an additional element of
beauty to the outdoor life of the me-
tropolis. The Introduction of tropical
and other foreign species Of butterflies
into the great Conservatives of Kew is
advocated on the ground Of their beau
ty and attractiveness. 1t is said that
less than half dozen species Of butter
flies can be regarded as strictly inhabit-
ing London. although representatives of
about forty species have been seen
within a ten-mile limit.

new measurement of the tree was
