Many Changes Made in Constitution
 and Bylaws.

and Bylaws.
 Washington, Aug 12.-The real busi- ness of the convention of the Tnterna- tional Typographical uniono began yes terday with discussion of proposed changes in the constitution and by laws of the union. Following is a summary of the changes made:
 Providing that the international un- ion shall derive it's revenues from dues amounting to 35 cents a month from each member and from payments for charters by subordinate lodges at $5 each providing that in the distribution of funds 5 cents shall go to the general fund, 5 cents to the special defense fund, 71a cents to the defense fund, 7h cents to the burial fund and 10 cents to the printers home endowment fund; declaring that the special defense fund shall be devoted to advancing and de- lending the principles of unionism as applied to the printers trade; prohibit ing subordinate unions from issuing labels of unauthorized designs amend ing Section 4, Article of the bylaws so as to provide that appeals to the executive council shall be made within thirty days; requiring that local dues shall be charged from the first of each month; amending Section A. general laws, so as to require the deposit of per capita tax payments with the proper officer of the jurisdiction in which he may be employed and requiring the suspension of members failing to com- ply with this requirement.; amending Section 45,, general laws, so as to re- qu1re the reception of this certificate by secretaries of local lodges if the card is clear; invalidating certificates Of membership issued by suspended local unions; authorizing the issuance of duplicate certificates for lost cer- tif1cates and prescribing the details of the proceedings requiring learners on typesetting machines to be members of the union or applicants for member ship; providing for the distribution of labels among subordinate unions by the international union; requiring that international union dues shall be de- posted by the twentieth of the month after their collections: authorizing the transfer of surplus receipts in the bur- ial fund to the general fund; prescrib- ing regulations under which union la bels may be issued to employers in towns where there is no union The convention recommended to the com mittee on laws recommendation de- claring it to be unwise. to make enact ments relative to the internal affairs of, printing offices.
 The electrotypers' and stereotypers union also continued it's session to- day devoting much of it's time to the consideration of reports. Among these reports was one made by L. B. Straube, chairman of a committee ap- pointed last year, dealing with the questions of taxation of members rela- tive to their wages. The question was discussed at length, but no action was taken. There was also considerable discussion of the old question as to the propriety of pressmen doing the work of stereotypers and the practice was generally denounced.
 The Woman's International auxil- iary held it's first meeting of the con- vention yesterday, Mrs Frank A. Ken nedy of Omaha presiding.

MILLEDGEVILLE Ga, Aug. 12.- On oath and replying to questions from
 Jacob Moore, warden of the state pen itentiary, sent to investigate officially
 the whipping administered to Mamie De Cris, the Diamond Queen" at the state prison farm, Miss De Cris an- swered that she had not been whipped because of impertinence to the wife of Assistant Superintendent Allagood, but because she had resisted the advances of Captain Allagood himself. Evidence was submitted to show that the char acter of the De Cris woman was bad and her conduct unwomanly, but this was not substantiated to the satisfac- ton of MT Moore

EIectricitx in B.throom..

The using of electric light in bath
rooms, either public or private, so it is
asserted by an English engineer, is dan
gerous in many cases. Writing TO the
government Gazette he says that the
electric-light switches most usually en-
ployed have brass covers and brass
knobs, and it is quite possible that this
metal work may be in unsupported con-
tact with the electric supply wires. In
such a case a person standing on a dry
wooden floor. and using the switch,
would not notice any defect, but anyone
in the act of taking a bath, or standing
with bare feet on a wet or mstallic floor,
and attempting TO turn on the light,
would receive a very severe shock which
would probably prove fatal even at the
comparatively low pressure of 220 volts"

HOW 1T GREW STRONG.
By Trials This Sapling Became .
Mighty Tree, Sturdy and Truly
Magnificent.

A young tree, fair and shapely, as yet
had no rough experiences. 1t had daily
been kissed by the sun, caressed by the
zephyrs and nourished by gentle rains.
To il life seemed fair indeed. But one
day things assumed a different aspect.
The sun was hidden; the clouds became
black and threatening, voicing their
wrath in rolling thunder; and the little
tree felt itself in the grasp of a rough
wind that bent and twisted its branches
and tugged at it until it seemed as If it
would tear ii up by the roots. When it
was about to give up, the wind released
its hold, apparently exhausted, and the
young tree felt relieved. But the wind
was merely giving it a respite, and soon
came at it again with more fury than
before. Again and again this happened,
and when the wind finally retired, the
broken, its roots loosened in the soil,
and it's body bruised and aching from
the topmost twig to the lowest rootlet.
1t took some time for the young tree
to recover from this assault. The sore
fibers swelled with the strain that had
been put upon them, and the roots dug
deeper into the loosened soil that they
might send up the increase of nourish-
ment to build up the breaks and allay
the Inflammation. For days the little
tree groaned even when a zephyr played
with its leaves. But by degrees the sore
ness passed away, and the little tree
found, as the result of its trial, that its
girth had sensibly increased, and it
seemed to itself TO be stronger and more
full of vigor. 1t. indeed. dreaded
another such experience, and when it
came it suffered again, though not quite
S 20 much, and the period of misery after
it was shortened, while it was conscious
of a still greater access of life and
strength, and a greater grip of the
ground. And so it continued getting
stronger and stronger after each strug-
gle with the wind until it came to like
nothing better than TO wrestle with it.
1t grew to be a mighty tree, so sturdy
that it defied even the hurricanes.
What a pity it would have been for
that tree to have had no rough usage!-
Well-Spring.

Our view of the Moon.

Improvements in telescopes and In
photography have been bringing the
moon nearer to US each year, until now
it is regarded with much the same in
terest as the ocean depths. w. de Fon-
vile points out that the existence of the
cities imagined by Schroeder has been
already disproved, and we seem now on
the verge of acquiring a start in lunar
natural history. At any rate, changes
have been noted in the tint of certain
regions that suggest the development
and disappearance Of some kind of
vegetation. Kepler suggested that all
water on the moon must take the form
of ice during the long night of 1854 hours,
and it is now argued that the air itself
probably not more than a sixth as
dense as that of the earth-may be con-
verted into snow by the intense cold.
This idea is confirmed by indications of
an atmosphere in places that have been
lighted by the sun long enough to
change the solid air into the gaseous
state. A liquefied or solid atmosphere
could not be easily detected at our dis
.ance, as its average depth would he
only six or seven feet, the earth's at
mosphere being sufficient to give a
liquid ocean of only about IS feet In
depth.
