ONLY WAITING.

The Hon. John Sharp Williams.
leader of the minority in the House of
Representatives, says that one day
while leisurely driving down road
near his home town in Mississippi he
observed a darky reclining under a
tree near the roadside. The negro was
gazing lazily up through the branches
of the tree, and a hoe lay beside him.
In the cornfield adjoining the road

The Moons CrdterS and
What Theu Send
Forth in Eruption

r there be craters on the moon that
are anything but extinct, they must
expel something. Judged by the
discharges of our earthly vol
canoes, that something must be
water and carbonic acid gas. Water
cannot possibly exist as liquid; for
the temperature of the moons surface
during the long lunar night is probably
not far from 460 degrees below the zero
mark of a Fahrenheit thermometer.
Ice and snow are the forms, then,
which lunar water must assume. Is
there any evidence of it? Hundreds
of ''craterlets'' are lined with silvery
coating that CLEANS dazzlingly when
the sun shines full upon them. Cap
ping the loftier peaks the same silver
glow may be seen. On the slopes OF
the greater mountain chains, on the
ramparts of huge craters the silvery
sheen casts it's halo, fading away
strangely as the sun rises higher and
higher, and reappearing at sunset just
before the long, cold lunar night sets
in. From many of the craters, notably
from Tycho, long white rays spread
out for hundreds of miles-enigmas in
the old moon of a generation ago, but
in the new moon of to-day deep
crevices illuminated only when the sun
is high in the lunar heavens. What
is this silvery substance that caps the
Apennines Of the moon, CLEANS on the
slopes and radiates from the craters?
According to the new school it is
simply ice and snow, collecting at the
poles, on SUBMITS, and in the very
places where it ought to collect. More
over, 1t partly explains the curious
changes that occur at different times
of the lunar day in the size of the
crater Lime, the very small, round,
brilliant spot previously mentioned;
ii explains the illumination of deep,
now-bottomed pits and abysses that
are inky black at sunrise and sunset,
and brilliantly white when the sun
shines directly into them; and it ex-
plains the fading away and reappear
ance of white stains at different
periods in the lunar day. The melting
and falling of snow, the disappearance
and temperance of hoar frost, alone
can account for these changes. In old
descriptions they are said to be due to
variations in illumination: in the phil
osophy of the new moon they are
attributed with beautiful simplicity to
the alternate evaporation and freezing

REAL FRENzlED FINANCE

The president of the National Bank
of Allthetin sat in his private office.
The door opened and John d. Rookie
feller was ushered in.
Good morning. said the president,
what can l do for you?"
II want to borrow S42 50.'' replied
Rockefeller.
'tOn what security?"
STANDARD on was the reply.
The president of the bank shook his
head. Not good enough he said,
firmly, adding, please don't bang the
door as you go out.
A few minutes later a yelled woman
entered the office of the president.
"I want to borrow S1,25O.0OO." she
whispered.
"Have you any security" asked the
president. Merely as a matter of
form, 1 assure you," he hastened to
add, as he thought he detected signs of
weeping behind his visitors veil.
"Oh, do you want security?" asked
the woman. "Give me piece of paper
and pen.'
She wrote a few words and presented
the paper to the president.
"Ah, Carnegies note for $4,000, O00!"
he exclaimed. Are you sure the sig
nature is genuine?'
Sure" responded the mysterious
stranger, didn't you see me write it?
Certainly, certainly. A million and

Fraud in Gun Barrels.

In his annual report on the trade Of
Belgium Consul General Hertslet
remarks that a large quantity of gun
barrels are sent annually from Liege
to Birmingham to be tested, in order
that they may have the Birmingham
mark They are then sent back to be
finished and made up at Liege, and
are frequently sold as British guns.
This would be avoided, says the En-
gineer of London, if all gun barrels
manufactured at Liege were marked
MADE in Belgium" before being ac-
cepted for proof in Birmingham.

Lewyers on Deck.

The Reno Bar Association is fight
ing the bill that provides for the
printing Of transcripts They assume
solicitude for their clients. There
can be nothing in this for the bill pro.
vides that where litigants cannot
stand the expense of printed tran
scripts they need but to say so and
the old fashioned way of sending
original papers up from the lower
court can be utilized The only state
in the Union that does not require
printed transcripts in civil cases is
Nevada.
The result is a great deal of con-
fusion. Papers sent UP from the low
er court are lost in transit and there
is no printed record of the Supreme
Court. The Supreme Court have to
paw over musty pen written docu-
ments or faded carbon copies of type
written documents and it has become
a vertable nuisance.

it gives the people the direct opportun-
ity for legislating after their own
chosen representatives have refused
to act
