There is a report that Speaker to- be

There is a report that Speaker to- be
Cannen will enlage the house commit
tee on rules in order to avoid the ne
cessity of removing Representatives
Dalzell and Grosvenor, who were on
the last committee, and who are not
in entire agreement with the new
speaker on the way in which the busi-
ness of the house should be conducted.
Many republican members would be
glad to see these two men omitted in
the forming of the new committee,
but such action would cause dissen
sion in the party ranks, SO the easier
way would be to add two more liberal
republicans who would support the
speaker. This would necessitate ad
ding another democrat to the commit
tee, and as there are already two demo-
cratic members, the committee would
be little unwieldy. However, this
is one of the problems that confronts
the new speaker, and in solving it he
should not lose sight of the fact that
many republicans favor the adoption
of more liberal rules, or at least an
abridgement of the powers of Dalzell
and Grosvenor, who are autocratic and
dictatorial advocates of the Reed Hen
derSOn rules.

The principal Palace of Waters is an
immense hall which stretches in mys-
terious grandeur far beneath the city
of Constantinople. Its roof is formed
of wide spanned arches supported on
massive marble columns. These stand
some ten feet apart. and their capitals
are elaborately wrought.
This marvellous building springs
from an eXpanse of waters which un-
derlies the foundations of the city for
mic It's origin and extent have been
shrouded i'll mystery ever since its dis
covery about seventy years ago, when
some of the arches gave way. All at
tempts to explore by boat this marvel
of construction have been either fatal
or fruitless.
Another palace Of waters was the
stately Palace of Ice which was built
in 1879 at the command of Anne, en-
press of Russia. to honor the nuptials
Of the Prince GallitZin and simple
peasant girl In this novel palace
bride and bridegroom were housed, in
rooms of which the walls and furnf-
ture and bed were constructed wholly
of frozen water.

That's where the rub comes in about

to bring one home last night, and
bought the thing at a news stand on
the L station. OF course I didn't look
at it. When I reached my station
had to walk the whole length of the
car to get out, and just before I reached
the door a boy came after me, touched
me on the arm and handed to me big
sheet of white paper all marked over

opaIs of Various Degrees.

There are several varieties of opals
and therefore several degrees of merit.
The precious or noble or oriental opal
is the supreme. This has all the col
ors, and when these cOlors are broken
into spangles it is then called the
harlequin opal. Then comes the fire
opal. or girasOle. with hyacinth red
and yellow reflection. The former
comes from Hungary and the latter
from Mexico. The common, or semi
opals, are nonopalcsccnt. The hydro
plane. or oculus mundi. is nontrans-
parent, but becomes so by immersion
in water or any transparent fluid. The
cachalong is nearly OPAQUE and of 4
blush white color. The hyalitc is
colorlcss. pcllucid and white. The opal
jasper, or wood opal, is the petrifaction
of wood, opalcsccnt. but without the
coloring which makes TIE noble" gem
so precious.
