III, various kinds OF palm trees on
the island of Ceylon are in themselves
of great interest, and when their differ
ent uses are explained person can we'll
appreciate how essential they are to the
natives in the low country Singalese
districts. From the sap of the cocoa
nut palm the spirit he drinks is dis
titled; the kernel of the nut is neces-
sary element in his daily curry; the
milk is the beverage offered to every
visitor to his domain; his only lamp Is
fed from the oil; his nets for fishing are
manufactured from its fibre, as is also
the rope which keeps his goat or COW
from going astray; while the rafters of
his house, the .thatch of the roof and
the window blinds are made from it's
leaf and wood. There is, perhaps, no
product in the world that is put to so
many and such profitable uses as the
cocoanut palm. for, even before it is
grown, its leaf ribs are tied together
to make brooms for sweeping and cages
for birds.

Death Caused by "A Pin.

Homer N. Hayes, of Kansas City,
died in Colorado Springs from the eff
fects of swallowing a pin year ago.
He suffered no pain from the pin until
recently, when the symptoms were mis-
taken for those of appendicitis. In the
operation that followed the pin was
found lodged in the intestines, near the
vermiform appendix. 1t was rusty,
and the stomach was inflamed, and
bore evidence of having been punctured
in various places. The pin was re-
moved. Death resulted from the con-
dition of the stomach.

HAS PROUD RECORD.
senator Allison of Iowa Has Been
a Member of the Upper House,
for Thirty Years.

Senator Allison entered the senate in
1873, and there is now, says the Wash
ington Post, no one member of that
body who has served continuously as he
has done. Stewart. of Nevada, was a
member, and John Fl. Mitchell, Of Ore
gon, took his seat at the same time.
Stewart was out IL years and Mitchell
ten years. John p. Jones, of Nevada,
took his seat at the same time, but closed
30 years OF service last March. There
were some interesting figures in the SEN
ate when Allison took his seat there for

the first time. From the south there was
quite an array of the so-called carpet
bag senators. Among the well-known
personages the new iowa man met on
the floor 80 years ago were Powell Clay
ton, now ambassador to Mexico, and
Stephen W. Dorsey. Arkansas; John b.
Gordon. Georgia; John A. Logan and
Richard j. Oglesby, Illinois; Oliver P.
Morton, Indiana; John J. ingalls,. Kan

1t is quite a distinction to be the sole
survivor of an entire membership of the
senate. While it is true that there are
two men members now who were there
30 years ago, Senator Allison has seen
them go and their successors take their
seats and again witnessed their return.
He is the one man who has been a mem
Der and witnessed a complete change in
the senate, himself alone excepted.

Sacramento Bee: In the approaching
Presidential campaign the Democrats
will not try to make any political capital
out of the fact that five Republican JUS
tees of the Supreme Court upheld the
Antitrust Law, which three Demo-
cratic and one Mngwump Justice voted
to knock out. On the other hand, the
Republicans will not be anxious to direct
attention to the fact that, after getting
the decision, Roosevelt called a halt on
putting it in force against the s~yndicated
millionaire breakers of the law.

Reno Star.
AT the last session of the Legislature
Senator Newlands drafted a new-fan-
gled scheme Of revenue, which he in
sisted on examining down the Threats OF
the members. 1t was q graduated re-
duction of the tax rate framed on the
most arbitrary principles and its provi-
sions violated most of the well-settled
principles OF revenue. L is a notorious
fact that in the drafting of this bill
none of the old-line Assessors nor any
of the State Board of Revenue. gentle
men elected by the people to handle the
revenue Of the State, were consulted 1t
is presumed that men who have been
actively engaged in the revenue bust
ness on its practical side, know some
thing of the intricacies of the business.
Senator Newlands, however, did not
deem it necessary TO consult them. But
the Assessors who were overlooked In
the matter and the members of the
State Revenue Board are taking a neat
revenge. They are enforcing the new
law to the limit. and as a result its
absurdities are being demonstrated and
the various counties of the State are up
in arms against it. It will be wiped on
the Statute books when the mex Legis.
lature meets or the Star very much
mistakes the temper of the various in
terests who are now fighting it. The
Star regards the Office of United States
Senator as something which requires
the exercise of ones talents in Wash
ington. 1t is not a State but a United
States Office. and the holder of such an
office shonld not butt into the manage
ment Of State affairs which the people
of Nevada have by their votes placed in
the hands Of other men.

deaths were recorded. OF these, 247,
about 1 in z, were from consumption.
Former Queen Isabella of Spain.
grandmother of King Alfonso. died at
Paris. France, on April Q of influenza,
with complications.
immigration promises to break all
previous records this year. During the
week ending April 7 over 10000 emf.
grants from various European countries
arrived in New York City.
The number of Russian Jews who
have arrived In the United States during
the past three weeks is enormous. 1t is
stated that the increase in this emigra-
ton from Russia is partly due to the per-
secutions and partly to the anxiety Of the
Jews to escape military service.
As a result of the food waters re-
peated attacks on the levees in Sacra.
mento and San Joaquin Counties, Cali.
fornia, it is estimated that in the re-
claimed laud districts wei 70. 900 acres
of the richest soil in the State are now
inundated, the loss amounting to about
Q 1000. 900.
The revived Scandal line. which is q
combination of the North German
Lloyd. the Hamburg American and Red
Star lines, which have joined in the fight

steerage rates across the Atlantic. The
Cunard line has retaliated and an
nounces a new service from the princi-
pal Scandinavian ports and that it will
carry passengers for SIC, which is % be-
low the rate made by the rival interests.

KODAK PICTURES As EVIDENCE
To Be Taken to Show Improvements
Made on Land Entries.

The Federal Land Once is about to
establish many reforms in its method
of transacting business One of these
il the equipment of its special agents
with kodaks. These will be used. to
photograph the improvements Of home
steads, timber and stone entries, and
other land taken by settlers, and the
pictures will be the best kind Of evil
dsnce in the thousands of contest cases
pending. In most Of the cases where
title Is disputed. the original entryman
sets up the claim that he has made more
or less improvement.
The contestant who seeks to oust the
entryman alleges, on the contrary. that
there are few, il any, improvements.
aad that the law has not been complied
with. On this issue there are lively
contests before the Registers and Re-
ceivers of Local Land Offices, and many
witnesses are brought to testify on each
side. As a usual thing these disputes
end in an appeal to the head Office in
Washington, which involves time and
expense. It Is believed that the kodak
will put an end to much Of this trouble,
supplying evidence that cannot be con-
troverted and removing any possibility
of mistakes in evidence, the witness in
this case being incapable Of triiing with
the truth and beyond the implication

There is no rose without its thorn.
Thus "smokeless powder has its dangers
as well as advantages" says Popular
Mechanics. "While it does not reveal
the location Of the guns from which it
is fred, and does not obstruct the vision
Of its gunners. it does emit a most deadly
gas, which, if confined. works havoc.
When used in the open field or battle
ments there is usually enough wind
blowing to carry away the fumes, but
when fred from turrets on board ship
the gases are liable to be blown back in
to the compartment. In recent target
practice by a battleship the wind blew
the fumes into the turret and nearly
asphyxiated the entire gun crew."

Grass Valley Union: The States
west of the Missouri have q greater pop
ulation now than the whole United
States had fifty years ago. In 1850 there
were less than 1000. 900 people in the
West. This may serve to indicate some.
thing Of the growth to be expected in
the next fifty years. Possibly there may
be by that time as many as $4,000. 900
people in the territory mentioned.
There is greater room for growth than
in the East, and there are resources
which warrant the prediction.

San Francisco Food Inspectors have
inaugurated q campaign in that city
against authorizations which has already
resulted in revelations that viii cause
many consumers to wonder that they
are alive. Among the goods already
condemned are stocks of badly decom-
posed canned sauerknaut. rancid j~ellies,
spoiled olives, mustard. various brands
of chow-chow and pickles, and large
quantities Of other decaying stuff that
would have been used for human food
had it lot been discovered by the Off
Gals. OF the jellies used there, fifty
per cent are declared to contain glucose;
the jams are ~adulterated to with starch
paste, while the milk is SC deficient in
butter fat that il is said that when the
proper standard Of butter fat in the
cityis supply of milk is insisted upon,
the infant mortality Of San Francisco
will be appreciably lowered.
Congress has under consideration o
Pure Food Bill which, if it become 3
law, will do in a large way what the
various Municipalities Of the country
are attempting to do in a comparatively
small way. namely, to protect consum-
ers against dangerous and injurious
food authorizations. II the Hepburn
Pure Food Bill become a law, such reve-
lations as have been made in San Fran
cisco will in future be impossible.
