Fourteenth Day.
Afternoon Session.

AFTERNOON session.
| Senator McCandless contended that
there we're many items in the Elmer
gency bill OF equal importance with the
fire claim bill Some Of these he men
toned, such as the item for pay of jur-
ors. This bill had been reported back
to be laid on the table, SO as to give
right of way to the Emergency bill. He
could see no reason for taking 1t up
and therefore moved IL be laid on the
table.
Senator Achi did not know what they
were trying to get at, playing like child
rem or what If the Emergency bill
were taken up members OF both houses
would have items to insert and there
was no saying how long 1t might take
to pass the bill. That morning they
had proclaimed to the world that the
fire claims expenses would be appro-
priated within seven days.
Senator McCandless withdrew his
motion, seeing that 1t was made the
occasion for endless talking.
The bill then passed second reading.
Emergency Appropriations.
Senator McCandless by motion called
up the Emergency Appropriation bill
and Senator Achi contended 1t had
never been in the hands of commit

Governors message on that subject

THE FEMININE FIB.
In 1t Are Blended Lies of Several
Kinds According to the Fol-
lowing Account.

\ distinguished preacher once di-
vided lies into BLACK lies, white lies,
gray lies and Chinese lies" The fem

blend of the white lie and the Chi
nese lie. For the benefit Of those
who have never graduated in the spe-
cial mendacity tripos, 1t may be eX-
planned that a Chinese lie is, as q
rule, purely ornamental, being Of the
nature of embroidery. which is in
tended to add beauty and color to
the plain object on which it is used
as trimming. says Modern Society
The Chinese lie is prompted by the
very highest and noblest Of motives
namely. a desire to give pleasure to
Others; many plain, dull fact being
served up and made quite tasty and
appetizing hy little judicious garni-
ture Of ChineSe-er-embroidery. d.

Chinese liar becomes skillful writer
of fiction, and turns Ter gift 30 prof
liable account. Bu; the everyday
feminine amateur, who has not this
outlet for her tarradiddular talent,
turns her attention to the afternoon
tea table. and adds 4 spice to what
ever gossip is going by gentle pep
pering of fibs.
She meets a man on the other side
Of the street. who raises his hat and
dashes along to catch his train, and
BIZ the time she has reached the tea

hand with a lingering pressure, gaz-
ing the while into her lustrous eyes.
And she can repeat word for word
all the sweet sayings and sugary
compliments which he would no
doubt have paid her if he had had
the time.
Unfortunately this gift Of magma
ton is often accompanied by de-
fective memory, whereas to make
neutrality-suspicious. nothing is so
essential as a good memory. With
out this the employer of the Chinese
method is almost certain to get found

And not only that, but, what is more
trying still. she even finds that when,
from lack of material for fctional
purposes, she does for once serve up
the cold, ungarnished truth, her hear
ers have so got in the habit of disbe-

why anyone who aims at distinction

DRUIDESSES OF PARIS.
An Order Composed of Women Who
March by Moonlight and Sing
in the Forest.

Paris has always been a seat Of all
sorts of curious orders, sects and
confraternities, and idolatry is prob
ably represented in the City Of
Light" The newest in the line is the
Order of Druidesses," founded by a
number of ladies, who seem to pur-
pose the revival Of the old Celtic mys-
teries and ceremonies to rcnarka-
BILE extent. The movement originated
with two Parisiannes who, when they
are not wearing the long, flowing
white robes of their order. dress in
the most ravishing twentieth century
manner. The Druidesses have also
Druids, who accompany them to the
forest of Fontainebleau, there to
celebrate their rites. At the end Of
each month Druids, and especially
Druidesses, march by moonlight,
when there is moonlight through tho
forest. singing hymns to nature and
addressing poetic inyocations to the
moon. the rocks, the streams and the
trees. On the last night Of Deem

King Menelek, the native ruler OF

that the orthodox faith Is good enough
for his subjects, and therefore those
VINO go thither with the object OF

Catholic or Protestant church think it
advisable to say that their sole object
is to convert Hebrews and pagans.
This was what a Swedish missionary
recently said when Menelek, before
whom he was summoned, inquired as
to the object Of his visit. When he
heard it the ruler asked:
what countries were you obliged to
cross in order to come here"
Germany, Egypt and the Soudan'

And were you not able to find in
Germany any Hebrews whom you
might have converted?" asked Meme

THE KINGDOM OF UGANDA.
This British Territory In Africa IL
II Vast and Interesting
District.

THE recent work by Sir Harry John
ston nthe Uganda protectorate," sand
an African traveller a short time ago
has served to show the British peo-
ple that this country is one of the
most interesting as well as one of the
most valuable of British possessions.
THE total area is 100000 square
miles. and in this vast territory may
be found every aspect of negrold CIV
ilization. But IFS scenery is even more
varied. How many people, for instance
would dream that there on the equator

Yet that is the fact, and in thiSrange Is

HYPNOTISM FINALLY DOOMED.
1t Has Been FOund Valueless in Med
feline and Declared Dam
gerOus.

We recently spoke of the evils of
popular hypnotism and of the dan
gers arising from its use by the ig-
norant. Since then the warning has
been emphasized by others, and now
German scientists are extending it to
the heretofore seriously entertained
therapeutic applications, says Amer
lean Medicine From Berlin comes
the report that the commission Of
experts in mental diseases appointed
by the ministry of education to in
vestigate the healing value of hyp-
notism reports that it is essentially
worthless. The commission was COM
posed of Prof. Mendel and Drs. Cock,
Munter and Aschenborn, who were
appointed during the faith healing
excitement there year ago. The re-
port declares hypnotism cannot pro-
duce organic changes nor cure epilep-
sy nor hysteria, but it can be used
helpfully in some instances by re-
moving symptoms through sugges
ton. In Cleveland, o., plea was re-
Gently made in the defense or
criminal later convicted of murder in
the first degree, that he had been
hypnotized and thus melted to the
crimt. The court told the jury that
this testimony could be accepted for
what it was worth" and a recon-
mendation for mercy by the jury fol-
lowed resulting in sentence of life
imprisonment. The folly of this
recommendation is evident. If hyp-
motto influence is powerful enough to
compel the commission of a crime, it
is plain that it destroys the account
ability of the hypnotized tool. If so
there would be no Justice in the plea
for mercy and lessening the severity
Of the sentence. But in that case the
punishment should be inflicted upon
the hypnotizer, who IN the Cleveland
trial seems to have escaped free.

EIGHsTRUNG NoRrHaRN FISH.
some That Rarely BECOME Tame or
Cease to Become Restless in
Captivity.

THE theory that climatic condi-
tions are largely responsible for the
enterprise and activity of the Amer
lean people finds contemporary de-
mOnstration in the lower orders Of
animals, and particularly among the
fish," said a scientist who has made
a close study of the collection in the
New York aquarium.
"All of the game fish," he said, "the
fighters, the highstrung, nervous fell
lows, like the brook trout, the black
bass and their only slightly less
strenuous brother. the pike are
northern fish. In only rare instances
do these fish become tame or remain
restful in captivity. They have the
keen spirit of American enterprise in
them.
"On the other hand, the quiet,
easy-going fish are nearly all from
tropical waters. OF course there are
exceptions from muddy habitats, but
all of the brilliant-hued, gaudy fish
are from the tropics. They are calm
and quiet, and after a short time in
captivity become so tame as to eat
food fearlessly from the hands OF the
keepers.

Recent Wrecks Arouse Interest in q
Subject Which Is Frequently
Discussed by Travellers.

(Which car is the safest one to oc-
cupy in a railroad wreck?" is ques-
ton that has received much considera-
ton at the hands of travellers.
The recent railroad wreck on the
Grand Trunk in Canada, in which ~
or 80 persons were killed, has caused
revival of the discussion, especially IN
this vicinity, where railroad wrecks
have occurred with alarming frequen-
cy during the last year, says the CIeVe-
land Leader.
Railroad men are not among those
who discuss this question seriously.
This problem to all intents and pur-
posses was solved by them long ago.
When railroad superintendent hears
the mere report of wreck, he can tell,
if he knows the makeup Of train
and whether it was head-On or rear
end collision, which of the cars re-
ceived the brunt of the shock.
Railroad wrecks in the neighbor-
hood of Cleveland are usually of the
rear-end collision or head-on collision
variety, and in no case in the last de-
cade have the casualties been heavy.
Another kind of wreck is caused by the
spreading of rails. There have been
three or four of these near Cleveland
within the last two years.
GAS a general principle, it is safe to
stick to the Pullman cas-" is the ad-
vice of an old railroader, land if there
are no Pullmans on the train, size up
the cars and try to occupy the heaviest
of them. Whatever you do, keep out
of the smoker"
There are good and sufficient rea-
sons for this advice. The smoker on
train, to begin. with, is the lightest OF
all the cars, as rule, and is generally
at the forward end of the train. II
the baggage car happens to be heavily
loaded the smoker is pinched between
two heavy sections, and, offering the
least resistance, is reduced to lindling
wood.
The car that receives the toughest
treatment in a wreck, however, is the
mail or baggage car. Unless this car is
extraordinarily heavy, 1t is bound to
suffer. In every wreck that has taken
place near this city during the last two
years the baggage car has borne the
brunt of the shock, and has been the
most dangerous car in the train. In
the recent Erie wreck at Union street
great holes were punched through the
/ = srHac oil Of
its trucks, and was so badly shattered
that the trunks and boxes inside were
scattered around the wreck The
other cars were not damaged much'
with the exception of some badly
smashed window lights.

MARCONI SENDS A MESSAGE.
Binding Flash of Blush Light and
Great Electric Sparks Signal
Its Departure.

GAIL ready" he cried to the electri-
elan, who stood in the power room
watching the inventor through the
long connecting hallway. A lever was
pulled and a dim hum filled the room.
The Indicator of the volt meter began
to race past all sorts of figures on the
face of the dial
"Now I'll send to Poldhu." He
pressed the key, says Worlds Work.
There was binding fash of blush
light, for with each movement of the
key great sparks jumped two inches
between the two silvered knobs OF the
induction coil. One knob of this coil
is connected with the earth, forming
the ground connection, the other with
the wire leading to the aerial wires.
Each spark means an Oscillating i'm
pulse from the battery to the aerial
wire, and from the wire the oscillations
of ether occur which carry through
space at the speed of $4,000 miles a
second. With the binding flash ac-
companying each movement of the key
occurs a report to be compared accu-
rately with the noise attending the dis
charge of a Krak-Jorgensen. 1t was
terrifying-the light, the noise. and in
the midst of it all the inventor calmly
pressing the key, making more noise,
more light. Imagine a company Of in
fantry firing at will in a tunnel, and
you can understand the sound that ac-
companies sending a message Mar
conf, who stuffs cotton in his ears when
sending, is now experimenting to dead
en- this sound. But somehow, to one
impressed by the fact that here, in this
very room, a message was being sent
through the air across the gloomy
stretch of 1000 miles of ocean, the
noise and the light seemed fitting
gave the proper touch of the superhu-
man, of force, of intensity.

NEW SYSTEM OF TELEGRAPHY.
One with Novel Feature by Which
10000 Words an Hour Are
Transmitted.

At a recent test in Germany Of the
Pollak-Virag system Of telegraphy a
speed of $4,000 words an hour was at
tanned. In transmitting, this system,
like other fast systems, uses strip of
paper previously punched with holes
representing dots and dashes. The
most novel feature of the system is
the method of receiving. says an cleo
trical paper. The incoming electric
impulses cause a thin strip of metal,
resembling a telephone diaphragm, to
vibrate and thus move tiny mirror at
tached thereto. A slender beam Of
Iight from an incandescent light falls
upon the mirror, and is reflected
thence to strip Of photographically
sensitive paper, which is steadily I'M
rolled by clockwork when messages
come. Chemicals for development"
being applied the paper exhibits con-
tinuous dark line, with upward pro-
iections for dashes and downward ones
for dots. The message must then be
deciphered and the translation must
be written out.
