Tremendou. Rainfall.

The annual rainfall on the khasia
hills, to the northeast of Calcutta.
amounts to some 600 inches. 500 inches
of which fall in seven months during
the southwest monsoon. 1t is undoubt-
edly the wettest spot on the globe. AS
many as $50 inches have been register
ed in five consecutive days, or an aver
age of thirty inches day. This as
tOnishing amount is due to the abrupt
ness of the mountains which face the
bay of Bengal. from which they are
separated by 200 miles of low swamps
and marshes.

THINKS PAPERS ARE FAULTY.
Gov. Odell, OF New York. Intlmates That
He Will Not Honor Gov. Dockery's
Requisition for Ziegler.

Albany, N. Y, Dec S.-The requisi-
ton of Gov. Dockery, Of Missouri, upon
Gov. Odell, for the extradition to that
state of William Ziegler, of New York
city, upon an indictment in Cole coun-
ty, Mo-, on the charge of furnishing
funds for the bribery of Missouri legis-
lators in connection with baking pow
der legislation, was the subject of a
hearing before the governor Monday.
The Missouri authorities were repre-
scented by Attorney General Grow and
Judge 7. B. Harvey, Of Missouri. and
Sheriff Smith, Of Cole county. Mr..
Zeigler was present in person, and his
counsel, John NJ. Bowers, Delaney
Nicoll, Edward Lauterbach, William j.
Underwood and John D. Lindsay.
Mr.. Bowers first demanded to know
upon what dates the Missouri authori-
lies alleged Mr.. Ziegler was in the state
of Missouri and committed the alleged
crime. Upon blank dates in March,
1901" replied Attorney General Crow.
Here followed spicy wrangle between
Mr.. Bowers and Gen. Crow, which Gov.
Odell interrupted, saying: Come, now,
gentlemen, let us come down to the
meat Of the matter. 1t seems to me
now that the papers in this case are not
regular in that they do not allege the
date when the defendant was in the
state of Missouri, committing this
crime. l think that If the defendant
was not in the state of Missouri at
the time of the committing of the crime,
then it is my duty to defend him. A
very bad precedent might be estab-
Iished by permitting a citizen to be
taken from this state on an insufficient
basis Of fact.
In his statement Mr.. Ziegler denied
emph atically that he had committed
any bribery or that he was fugitive
from justice and declared that the
whole proceeding was a malicious act
Of oppression inspired chiefly by his
personal enemies. At the close of the
hearing Gov. Odell said he would give
the Missouri people two weeks in
which to submit briefs and Zieglers
counsel two weeks after that in which
10 answer them.

AN EVIL I'm FOOD THE Law
SHOULD REACH.

In reference to the use Of alum bak~
ing powders Prof. Schweitzer. Of the
State University OF Missouri, says:
"The deleterious effects Of alum and
the soluble salts Of alumina upon the
human system, even when used In
small quantities, are too well known
to need relating; their use In baking
powder Is dangerous, and should be re-
stricted."
The effects of the continuous use OF.
alum baking powders are thus summed
up in a medical publication
"Alum taken into the stomach re-
tards the digestion of the food.
I ut is an irritant which inflames and
irritates the stomach and intestinal ca
nal.
1T is an astringent and tends to con-
stipate the bowels, which interferess
with digestion.
'It renders the albumen of the food
partially insoluble, and therefore takes.
away from its nutritive value.
at is absorbed into the blood, which.
It tends to thicken and coagulate. The
free flow Of the blood through the Or
gans of the heart is thus retarded.
ats continued absorption into the
system causes some forms Of nervous.

tions OF the nerves from which both
women and men suffer.

in REGULAR SESSION
House and Senate Begin Work That

The President Renominates Gen. Wood for
Major General-Bill to Mako JAN
uary 30 Mckinley Memo
rial Day.

Washington, Dec. S.-The senate
yesterday closed the extraordinary
session and entered on the duties of
the regular session, but the transition
was so natural as to be scarcely notice
able. The unusual features were the
close of the called session by the an
nouncement from the chair and the
offering Of two prayers in the senate
within half an hour of each other.
The president sent to the senate the
nomination of Gen. Leonard Wood to
be major general and those of 167 other
officers dependent upon Gen. Woods
promotion. He also sent in the NOM
nations Of about Is civilian appoint
ees who failed of confirmation, includ-
ing DR.. Crum, colored, to be collector
of the port of Charleston. The COM
missions of all these appointees have
been dated at the time of their original
appointments and are regarded by the
president as being recess appointments.
The house convened yesterday in
regular session and listened to the
reading of the presidents annual mes
sage to congress. The special session
robbed the day of many interesting
features incident to new CONGRESS-.
Mr.. w. A. Smith, of MichigH in
troduced a bill making McKinley's
birthday, January 20, national holt
day to be known as Mckinley day."
Mr.. Dwight, of New York, introduced
a bill by request establishing postal
currency providing for notes in the de-
nomination of 5, 10, 25 and so cents to
be issued by the postmaster general
and kept on sale by all postmasters.
At $3.50 the house adjourned out of
respect to Henry Burk, of Pennsyl-
vania, a member who died Saturday.

Business n Temperance Reformer.

Business a Temperance heformer'
All the railroads that center in Chi
cago have prohibited the use OF liquor
or tobacco by employees when on duty.
The Western Electric company and
numerous other great business con-
Germs in the west forbid not only the
use of liquor, but of cigarettes, and the
habit, now grown to an almost in
credible extent among all classes of
the community, of playing the races"
Business reasons thus make necessary
the control or avoidance Of habits
AGAINST which moral reasons are too
often helpless.
