The EIGHT
HOUR Law
IT PASSES THE SENATE
YESTERDAY
Two Senators Cast Their
Votes Against It

The eight-hour law pessed the Sen
ate yesterday with only two votes reg
istered against it, The measure pass
ed the House several days ago, and
the full text was published in this
paper at that time.
The debate on the bill in the Sen
ate yesterday was concise and to the
point. Senator Jackson, who was not
elected on a platform declaring for
the bill spoke not especially ag-
ainst the bill, but gave his views of
the subject matter. He stated that
while he was in favor of short hours
for labor and labor unions, yet he be
lieved that the law as it reads at
tempts to cover too much territory
and places too many restrictions on
incoming investments. He THEREFORE
registered his vote against the meas.
ure.
Senator Bell was about of the same
opinion. He stated that he realized
that the platforms Of both parties
were declared to be in favor of the
BILL but as, he had voted against the
bill two years ago, and had no reason
to think differently at the present time
he would vote according to convict
ons and against the bill, which he
did.
Senator Graham advocated the bill
in all its particulars. He believe
| that it was intended for the bettermen
Of the miner and under the just read

would work benefit to that class O
workmen, and innoway be ahardshil

The Case Submitted.

The case of the Tonopah and Salt
Lake Company, VS.. the Tonopah COM
pany was submitted to Judge Hawley
yesterday for final decision, Colonel
Ellis closing the argument for the
Salt Lake people.
The case has occupied the attention
of the court for the past month. The
interests involved are very large, as
the Salt Lake people have placed
considerable money into the disputed
ground. The Salt Lake people were
represented by Dickerson, Ellis and
Ellis and Key Pitman, and the old
company by Campbell, Metson and
Campbell and w. E. f. Deal of San
Francisco. The argument occupied
three days and both sides seem conf

for it. The minister OF the Italian
Royal Navy, who has interested him
self greatly in Pino's career, sent
torpedo boat to assist in the expert
ment and naval representatives from
Portofino and S. Margherita, while sew
eral naval engineers and captains and
two professors of science and two law
yers were also present.
These gentlemen at the end Of the
trials signed a document which de-
scribed how they had seen with their
own eyes all the objects on the seas
bed that came within the microscopes
range with perfect cleaness, in their
natural forms. colors and positions,
bearing strong testimony as to the
priceless worth of the invention.
Pine now has at his mercy all the
treasures of the seattle pearls, the
sponges, the coral reefs. and the sunk
en- ships with their lost cargoes of gold
and works Of art. With his hydro
scope he can see them, with his eleva-
tor he can rescue them.
Few conceive what treasures of all
sorts the sea now hides and jealousy
guards. To take one example of the
seas natural Wealth. single coral
reef, discovered in Japanese waters
after two years search, yielded in one
year a profit of more than $2,5OO.OO0.
And for an example of the seas
wealth in the shape of sunken treas
ures one may mention the Black Prince,
a British ship that went down in the
days of the Crimean war with an enor-
nous sum In gold on board, Of which
not a single gold piece has been re-
covered.
Pine has made 1t possible to locate
coral banks and to garner the coral
harvest with absolute certainty. He Is
making arrangements with the Brit
ish government to recover the Black
Princes cargo.
There is another big contract be-
tween Pine and the Greek government
for the recovery Of statues and certain
other works of art Of inestimable value
known to have been sunk in Corigotto
harbor during the Pompeian war.
Though these treasures from ancient
Athens have lain beneath the sea for
some two thousand years, already many

With the MICROSCOPE to locate sunk
en- ships and the elevator to raise them,
the work of the salvage companies will
be utterly revolutionized. And not be-
fore time. As IT Is, divers can only
descend some ninety feet; while only
a minute proportion of the ships that
sink every year are ever brought to the
surface again.

The Precious Find.
Thousands of valuable bones were
gathered by Dubois. And at last, in
an ancient river bed, he found four
loose, imperfect bones that are worth
more than all the thousands.
First lone tooth appeared. Then,

in the same level, but three feet away
the roof of the skull. Nine feet far
Their below there was another tooth.
And at last, thirty-six feet beyond
that find. there was a left upper thigh.
1t is plain what had been the de-
stroyer. The skeleton. or perhaps the
corpse, had fallen into the river.
Gradually the current had torn 1t
apart and carried the fragments away.
Only these few parts had remained
fast in the mud and had been baked
into stone with that mud in the course
of time.
But fortunately the four parts that
were thus preserved are most useful.
The skull points Enthusiastically to
the gibbon. But It's size is beyond
that of the ape. After careful cleans
ing and measuring of its capacity,
Dubois estimates that the brain con-
tanned in il occupied from nine hum
dred 10 nine hundred and fifty cubic
centine tars. Under no circumstances
could 1t have been more than a thou
sand.
The greatest measure of a male
gorilla's brain in a special case was
six hundred and five cubic cent?
metres. In general the gorilla brain
is 49s in the male and a little less for
the female. No other man-like ape
equals the gorilla.
The riddle-thing of Java, therefore,
had a brain far beyond that of all
man-like apes.
In man. the average capacity of the
skull may be stated as LAO cubic
centimetres for the European.
Therefore. in the point of brain, the
creature of Java was neither a gibbon
nor a man. 1t is middle-thing-jus
what science looked for when speak
ing of the missing link
The thigh proves that the creature
was at least third larger than all
fossil or living gibbon apes. The
Java creature was fully as large as the
| average man.
The teeth. belonging to the upper
jaw, show features belonging to both
ape and man.
The crown is entirely that of man;
the size and root are ape-like.
The last witness is the upper thigh.
1t gives the most startling testi-
mony.
1t is the upper thigh of thing that
walked erect.
The upright walk Of man has stamp
ed itself splendidly into his skeleton.
Mans upper thigh is almost entirely
straight. Compare with this the skele-
ton of a gorilla and you will find that
the upper thigh is not only short and
thick but curved and followed to-
ward the inside.
The bone of Java is bent a little, but
not more so than happens occasional
ly with a normal man; far different
from the great curvature of the gor-
| HAS thigh.
1t Walked Like n Man.
There is no doubt that this thing,
whatever it was. walked like a man.
Plainly, gIbbon and man were linked
in the thing. And 1t was found in

SECRETS OF THE
SEA LAID BARE

In this age of progress, says the Bal
timore Herald, when wonderful inven-
tions are produced almost every day in
the week. the American public has be-
come used to being introduced to suave
looking gentlemen, with dark skin and
sleek hair, who rejoice in soft sounding
foreign names and are advertised as
world heaters. Several of these names
have become known almost throughout
the earth-Marconi and Tesla, for in
stance-and there is still another which
threatens to achieve popularity even
greater than either of these. 1t is Giu-
seppe Pine. and its possessor is an in
ventor of Genoa. Pine has perfected
two inventions which he claims will re-
veal to him the deepest and darkest Sc
crets of the deepest and darkest seas, land
according to Marcus Woodward, Lon
don writer. he is about to become not
only world-famous, but as rich as the
power of the golden touch. once con-
ferred on King Midas, could ever make
him.
The inventions are, firstly, a machine
called the MICROSCOPE; and secondly, a
machine called the elevator. The n.y.
droscope is an instrument which en-
ables human eyes to look down into
the sea, to behold what il contains, and
to examine the floor of the sea at any
depth, while the elevator is designed
to recover from the water any object
seen and coveted from a sunken IRON
clad to a pearl or a coin. Each in-
vention stands to-day absolutely per-
fected awaiting public trial.
These things are not dreams, but
sober matters of fact. Everyone will
soon know all about them. for Pino's
agent DR.. IebrrI. is at present in Lon
don actively arranging for a public
trial of the inventions, and he hopes
to have all his plans completed before
the end of next month.
There are to be two trials-one at
Kiel, before the German Emperor, and
the other at Southampton, 1t is hoped
before the King; at any rate, before
the British admiralty and several OF
the leading shipbuilders and salvage
companies.
At these trials it will be proved that
the MICROSCOPE enables one to see any
object in the water at any depth, and
to take clear photographs of the sea-
bed, while the elevator will prove how
1t can bring sunken ships of any weight
to the surface, and also such small
objects as coins.
A private official trial Of the hydro
scope has already been made by the
Italian government on Jan. % last, In
Portofno harbor lying between Ge-
noa and Spezia, when II was proved
beyond doubt that II would perform all
the miracles that It's inventor claimed

man-like apes and ape-men already
occurred at this time?
In a matter like this, demanding ex-
act demonstration, we cannot admit
the old creation legends of the world
that tell of mans beginning-Asia.
But it must be admitted that in strict
ly geological facts there is a certain
suggestion that the cradle of human
ity was there.
VirchOw Pointed to Java.
Even Virchow, despite his remark
able attitude toward theories based
on DarWinism, unbent sufficiently to
declare, if it were possible to dis
cover fossil remains Of an ape-man
anywhere, it should be possible in In
dia and the regions around Sunda
STRAITS.
Virchow's declaration became de-
land doctor. He chose Java for his
field.
He was Eugene Dubois. Within
four years after the beginning of his
excavations, he announced that Vir-
chow's problem had been answered.
A being, walking upright, with a brain
between the brain of man-like ape and
man, in many ways strikingly like
the gibbon, but in many other ways
a human, had been found; the missing
link between gibbon and man--pithe-
canthropus erectus, the walking
ape-man.
During the four years of excavation
Dubois had found so many fossil
bones of animals of all kinds that they
filled 400 cases when they were packed
for shipment to Leyden.
The excavations were made in GER
tain strata in the middle part of the
