Their sight Is generally good and

yet their vision is very limited.
Crocodllos cannot distinguish a man at
distances above ten times their length,
Fish see for only short distances. The
vision Of serpents Is poor, The boa
constructor, for example, can see no
further than third Of It's own length
Some snakes see no further than one
eighth Of their length, Frogs are bet.

5RYAN's PRIVATE BUsINss.

No matter how the public may re- gard the purpose of a rich Connecticut testator. when he directs that after his death liberal sums of money be paid to a prominent Nebraska man and his wife for both their personal use and fer the dissemination of "the Bryan principles of 1896 and 1sOO'' popular sympathy and commendation can hardly fail to go out to the Nebraskan amid the unjust and uncalled-for at tacks to which he is being subjected to in New Haven.
 Nobody questions the testator's soundness of mind. He was perfectly competent to dispose of his property. He left his widow abundantly pro- vided for. and numerous liberal be- quests went to old associates. rela- tives and friends. Nobody appears to have suffered in rights or reasonable expectations through the provision made for Bryan. The latter has de- ported himself graciously and with dignity throughout the trying ordeal to which the court hearings have sub tected him. Apart from any means through which he may have previously

Los Angeles Reforms.

Los Angeles at last has banished the plug-ugly. Hereafter there are to be no more boxing contests in the angel city. An ordinance has been passed which makes it a misdemeanor for any person to hold, conduct or engage in, or 10 be present as a spectator at any boxing contest or sparring exhibition" |" IL is provided. however. that such con- tests shall be permitted when boxing gloves weighing not less than eight ounces each. the backs of which are padded (wfth soft material are used It is also made unlawful for the owner of any building or ground to. let same fer boxing contests of the prohibited a penalty of s1OO to $500 fine or equiv alent imprisonment is imposed.
 To be sure, the penalty is not high enough to prevent one of the star con- tests where the profits run into the thousands of dollars. and in such event the maximum fine would be but a mod crate license. But the statement of the ordinance that all boxing contests of the class named are "unlawfuP' puts 1t into the power of the mayor to for bid such exhibitions altogether and to enforce his orders through the police Or. should the mayor refuse to prevent a prize fight, aggrieved citizens could find a remedy by injunction. So that it may be taken for granted that prize fighting in Los Angeles Is at an end.
 The permission to use eight-ounce gloves is a sardonic. concession to the advocates of the sport. A truly ridic- ulous exhibition would be fight" be- tween men with pillows on their hands.

I am not ashamed to have it known that I was Philo Bennett's friend and he mine. was devoted to principles as to which, when men of the east refuted them. he dared social and business ostracism to be my elector."
 This money provision made for MT Bryan by his friend and admirer Is a bit of personal business through which it is now being sought to publicly hu- initiate him after attacking his legal and his business rights. He seems to be amply able to take care of himself in a. business-like way-New York Commercial

THE UNITED STATES SENATE.

The senate is today the most power full single chamber in any legislative body in the world, but this power. which is shown daily by the wide at tention to all that is said and done in the senate of the United States, is not the product of selfish and cunning usurpations on the part of an ambi- tious body. IL is due to the original constitution of the senate, to the fact that the senate represents states. to the powers conferred upon 1t at the outset by the makers of the constitu- tion, to it's permanency of organiZa- tion, and to the combination cf legis- lative. executive and judicial func- tions, which set it apart from all other legislative bodies. Without the assent of the senate no bill can become a law. no office can be filled, no treaty ratified.
 The most important bills are largely the work of the senate, owing not only to its large powers but to its liberty of debate and amendment possible in a body of the size of the senate and very difficult in body as large as the house. In the senate, to take a very recent instance, the bill for the lsth- milan canal was finally made. In the senate the long debate upon the Philip pine government bill disposed of the question so entirely that it was not heard of in the ensuing campaign. The house. in 1894 initiated. made and passed the Wilson tariff bill. but the senate re-made the bill and it was the senate bill which without alteration of single line became law against the bitter opposition of both house and the executive.
 Contests over nominations are rare and rejections Of executive nomina- tions still rarer because presidents following the theory of the constitu- tion almost always consult senators about them beforehand. But the pow CT Of the senate to take part through amendment in making treaties Is free ly and largely exercised. The amend ments of the senate to the Hay PaunceforrA treaty relating to the Is thmian canal were rejected by Eng land. but the second Hay-Paunceforte treaty embodied everything sought by the senate in its amendments to the first and was therefore ratified by an overwhelming majority.-Senator Hen ry Cabot Ledge in November Scrib- ner's.
