Perhaps the most thrilling Of James

the bear In the snow to a ledge on the
point Of Loon Lake mountain, and saw
where it had disappeared in dark
creyice under the ledge His brother

The electrical industries Of Germany
are pleased TO learn that recent explo-
rations Of the Uluguru Mountains In
German East Africa have revealed the
presence Of deposits Of mica. These
beds are situated west OF Oar es-Sa-
laam. and contain mica sheets particu-
larly well adapted for electrical pur-
poses. The sheets are solid, split even
and are able TO endure the high cleo
trio tensions. making the substance
useful for insulation. This mica is

At the Zelss Optical Works in Jena
there has recently been produced an
artificial spectrum, which may be used
as a test in orthochromatic photo
graphy. 1t consists OF four colored
glass prsms, which together form a
thick plate. There is an obtuse-angled
yellow prism, which has on one side a
right-angled purple prism, and on the
other a blue rhomboidal prism. Next
to this last prism is a purple prism Of
rectangular form. The colors selected
for the prisms correspond with the
ideal colors for trichromatic purposes,
and. by suitable combination, any de-
sired shade can be produced.

RES ADJUDICATA.

The res adjudicata discovery applied to tabling amendments is something new in deliberative bodies. The Ad- vertiser asked a legal gentleman what was the exact technical significance or the term in law: He said: "The term is usually applied to judgments rend- araa by A court. The essential cle- ments of res adJudicata are that the narties must be the same. the subject matter the same. the point must be directly in issue and the Judgment must he rendered on, or cover, that precise point. The judgment, to have the et- feet of res adjudicata. must he fEal and rendered on the merits,-a deter mination of the matter after hearing or opportunity to be heard. The mat ter must not so off on other issIes than the merits-a judgment on non suit after dismissal and the like can never amount to res adjudicata. This is the rule in all courts.
 "It is indisputable, then, that the tabling of an amendment in a leglsla- tive body. has not a single pretense Of any element of res adjudicata. The tabling of an amendment decides noth- ing on the merits. A motion to table does not allow debate, or refer to the merits-no judgment Is rendered on that. The tabling simply postpones the matter to be deliberated upon at another time. The tabled matter can be taken from the table whenever the Convention pleases. If the Convention were court. tabling an amendment which Is but putting aside for the time the hearing of an amendment and If a lawyer should get up and say that was res adjudicata he would be laughed out of court.

once in Four Years!

Editor The Advertiser:
 Do the people of Alabama know that the Constitutional Convention has or dained that hereafter elections for Sen ators and Representatives in the tes- islature shall be every four years in- stead of every two years? And worse still, that the Convention mas taken from them the right to have meetihs of such Senators and Representatives except once in four years? When they elected delegates to revise and improve the Constitution did they suppose that their right to have a meeting or the legislature every two years was to- pc destroyed? Now what will be the el- feet? No matter what mistakes les- islature may make, no matter Wnae drastic or oppressive or unpopular iaws may be passed, the people must wait four long years before they can nave them repealed, and If their interests de- mand new legislation on various sup iects as they arise. the people are com pelled to wait until four years snah have expired before they can nave the desired legislation. If a 'HepuDncan Governor and Republican iegisiature should get in power they may enact the most objectionable laws. hut the people can get no relief for four years No other State in the Union has such a constitutional provision. What is the necessity for this radical departure from a constitutional provision that is as old as the State? Have the people demanded it? Have they been consult ed about 1t? Was 1t an issue in the canvass for delegates? What Is the interest back of this revolution in the political rights of the people? Are the people to be rocked asleep and their attention to be withdrawn as far as possible from their legislative interests in order that certain other interests may not be disturbed? Let the citt- zens of Alabama awake to the danger of this sudden and unlooked-for move ment. Let them make themselves heard and their delegates be informed without delay. waterman.

 Alabama certainly compares most ia- vorably with her neishbors in point or prosperity and growth. We do nor pe- iieve our citizens would willingly ad- init that such of our neighbors as have Commissions with absolute powers are ahead of us in such development. Can it be said. then, that the remedy pro posed would really be beneficial? So radical a remedy surely ought not to be adopted without a definite prospect of its curing definite evil.
