Bowling Green Health Authorities
are Sustained.
Anyone Cru Re Taken to the Pest
House When 1t Is Deemed
Necessary.
JUDGE BARKEE's DECISION

An important decision was yester-
day rendered in Louisville by Judge
Barker, dissolving the injunction
granted q few days ago in Bowling
Green to prevent q daughter Of Bank
or Porter from being taken TO the pest
house. Judge Barker holds that
boards of health are invested with
ample authority to order anyone to the
pest house when It is deemed neces-
sary for the welfare aud protection of
a neig hborhood or a community. He
holds that the county Judge who
grnpted the injunction had no author
ity to do so.
The origin Of the case was when an
effort was made TO take Miss Amelis
Porter, who bad smallpox, to the
pest house instead Of allowing her to
remain at home.
County Judge Drake gre uted an in
Junction at Bowling Green and it has
now been disso' yed at Louisville.
The decision will no doubt serve as a
precedent.

VICE PRESIDENTS FORGOTTEN.
Three of the Busts in Senate Chamber
Cnnnoi BE Identified.

III several Of the vice presidents OF
the United States who filled that high
office In past generations could speak
to-day they would doubtless ask In
tones OF disgust: What is famef.
The marble busts OF nearly all the
Vice Presidents are arranged In inches
about the Senate chamber and In the
north corridor of the Senate wing of
the capitol. Every visitor TO the cap
itol looks at these works OF art and Is
told the names OF many of the dead
statesmen, but there are three busts OF
Vice Presidents the Identity OF which Is
at present lost to the world. They look
from their inches out on the Senate as
ghostly witnesses to historic scenes that
have been enacted ever since they pre-
sided over that august body. They
have been there at every session. and
when the big oaken doors have been
closed to all but present members OF
the Senate and necessary attendants In
order that the executive session secrets
might not leak out until they are pub
lished In the newspapers they have
been allowed to remain.
Busts of Vice Presidents That Is all
that Is known OF them. The irony of
fate is still further enhanced by the
fact that 1t was not even known that
the identity OF these busts had been lost
until an attempt was made to mark
them.
Whnn 1,a "a nrIa
marble representations of the features
of its presiding officers be chscled
there was no thought of placing names
upon them. Famous men, whose names
we're household words throughout the
land, were known to every one about
the capitol 1t seemed as ridiculous
TO mark them as 1t would have been
to place tags on the leaders of the Sen
ate themselves. But memory Is not
long In the galleries Of the immortas.
The time came recently when II was
discovered that the famous men were
unknown. Then an order was given
that their identity be established and
that their names should be cut on the
under side OF the marble. This has not
proved TO be an easy task. There are
three busts the Identity of which has
not been determined, except by pro-
cess Of elimination. The oldest EN-.
ployes of the Senate are being inter.
viewed to see II they can recognize
them. They belong to the first half of
the last century. Old paintings AMI
other pictures have been consulted, and
1t is believed that In the course of time
evidence will be forthcoming to place
beyond controversy the names of the
Vice Presidents Of whom the busts
were made. Then. when their names
have been cut In the white marble, saws
the Washington Star, grateful PEG
pie will be able TO connect them with
the Famous men whose acts are told ON
the pages Of American history.

ORIGIN OF ASPHALT.
Several Theories Advanced to Account
for the Mineral.

Several Theories Advanced to Account
for the Mineral.
An original theory In regard to the
formation of asphalt was that it was
produced by the evaporation of the vol
atile parts from crude petroleum over
beds of sand, the residue being asphalt.
Prof. Winchel, in his walks and
Talks in the Geological Field" says:
The oil strata were so tilted that the
fluid parts escaped, leaving the as
phalt."
Prof Orion has another theory, which
was the one generally accepted twenty
years ago. 1t was that the crude pc
troleum assembled by capillary attrac-
ton until it reached an impervious stra-
tum, where, being more or less exposed
to the atmospheric action by evapora-
ton and oxidation, it was changed into
asphalt.
The asphalt of Trinidad was gener-
ally believed to be of volcanic origin.
These theories were commonly ac-
cepted before the discovery of the Ken
lucky deposits, which, after examina-
tion, clearly disproved them. Prof. Or
ton himself abandoned his theory, al
though it was consistent with some of
the deposits which are in the Chester
being overiaid by a clay
shale. If this capillary theory had been
correct the asphalt would have been
found in the top of the sandstone, next
TO the shale, and would have left some
trace in the sand and limestone below,
while the facts are the sandstone. both
above and below the asphalt strata, is
free from any trace of it, and
there are even fine streaks of perfectly
white sand interspersed between lay
ers Of bituminous sandstone, showing
that bltuminous matter
could not have come up from below,
but was deposited at the same time
with the sand.-American Asphalt Jour
nal.
