PLENTY OF WORK IS WAITING.

The General Appropriations
committee of the house began yes
terday it's hardest work in tackling
the general appropriation bill.
This measure the committee pro
poses to report back to the House
within week or ten days at the
outside. 1t depends on the extent |
to which the committee can scale |
this bill, how much there will be
left for special appropriations.
The present indications are that
there will be very little doing in
this line unless the committee finds
some money land so far as is known
the state has not lost any.
There will be about $3.50, 600 for
this purpose and at least $4,000
will be asked.
The Committee on Labor and
Labor Statistics has just begun to
deal with the child labor bill, the
friends of that measure having
been accorded hearing yesterday.
The mill men, who oppose the bill,
have had their inning before the
committee.
The General Judiciary Committee
has more work before it than any
other two committees of the House,
with the exception, of course, of that
on new counties. 1t will hold three
meetings this week, as the result
/ of which considerable general
, legislation will be reported to the
3 House.
The Committee on education ex-
poets to report this week the
( McMichael bill, providing a plan
: under which any county or school
| district in the state may avail itsel1
of the new constitutional provision
regarding local taxation for schoo
= purposes This is quite an i'm
f portant measure, and many coun
/. ties and school districts will, it i!
said, hold elections on the subject
of local taxation for schools as
q soon as it becomes a law.
! Besides these there will be vari
I Gus other committees at work
and before the end of the week
the House will have in shap,
D enough general matters to keep i

THE WORD STAPLE.
How 1t Came to Be Applied TO Ar
ticIes of Commerce.


How 1t Came to Be Applied TO Ar
ticIes of Commerce.
The word staple" applied as an adj
jective to distinguish certain articles
of commerce. had its origin in England
in the early part of the thirteenth CEN
fury. The merchants of the staple
were the first and most ancient and
were so called from their exporting the
staple wares of the kingdom namely,
WOOL leather, skins, lead and tin. The
kings staple was established IA certain
towns, and certain goods could not be
exported without being first brought to
those towns and rated and charged
with the duty payable to the king. The
grower of wool contented himself at
first with the sale Of it at his own door
or at the next town. Thence arose a
class of men who bought II from him
and became a medium between the
grower and the foreign cloth mer
chants. In 1919 the company had the
legal form Of a corporation and was
the oldest mercantile corporation in
England. Edward II, had for the bet
ter collecting Of duty on wool ordained
that the staple for it should be a GER
tain town in the Netherlands, and Ant
werp was fixed upon. 1t was after
ward successfully removed to St.
Omer's, Bruges, Brussels, Louyain
Mecklin and Calais. In 1853 the staple
was fixed at Westminster, which caus-
ed so great a resort of traders that
from a village it was raised to the dig
nifty of a town. In 1873 it was removed
to the place still named Staple inn, in
Holborn. Hence staple goods are
such as have been duly appraised and
have paid the regular customs duties.

Most people believe that they see the
same with both eyes. That this Is not
the case one can easily convince him,
self by the following simple expert
ment: Cover one of the eyes with a
hand or a bandage and let the expert
menter attempt to snuff out a candle
suddenly placed within few feet of
him. He will almost invariably miss
the fame, either overreaching, under
reaching or putting the fingers too far
to the right or left of the fame. With
both eyes normal and open the accom-.
mediation for distance and direction is
instantaneous.

TO CHECkMATE BRITISH GAME.
German Has Plan for . Canal to Connect
Caspian Sen and Persian Gulf.


Special Gable Despatch to THE SUN.
LONDON. Aug. 28.-As a setoh to the
English projects in regard to making the
rivers Euphrates and Tigris navigable,
Herr Waechter Of Berlin has project for a
canal $50 miles in length to connect the
Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf. Ac-
cording to his plan the canal would begin
at Ensei and take q southwesterly direo-
ton to Bagdad, by turning to account the
Kyril Uzen and Diyalla the largest tribu-
taries Of the Tigris.
As the Kyril Uzen dries somewhat every
summer Herr Waechter wanted q natural
reservoir for feeding the river. He sue
ceeded in finding a lake as large as the
Swiss lakes, and the whole project depends
on the position OF this mountain lake. II
it lies higher than the watershed between
the Kyril Uzen and the Diyalla then it's
waters can be carried to the Kyril Uzen
during the dry season.
In referring to this project the German
newspapers say that with the construc-
ton OF this canal and the extension OF the
Russian railway from Hanadan, in north
western Persia. to the top Of the Persian
Gulf, the aim Of the British policy. namely,
to checkmate the Siberian railway by .
railway starting from Smyrna and going
across Asia Minor to Candahar and Quota
and thence to Hongkong would receive a
check forever as soon as European Power
occupied Bunder Abbas before Great Britain
made that place another Gibraltar.

WARRINGTON, Aug. 2e-Morteza Khan,
the Persian Minister, who was quoted In an
interview recently as citioising the freedom
Of the American girl at the seashore, has
written to the Washington Post denying the
authenticity Of the statements attributed
to him. The interview in question said that
Mr.. Morteza was shocked at the abbreviated

and that he held up his hands in holy
horror at the thought Of the consequences

introduced into Persia
The Minister has just returned from \

was ever interviewed by any one on the
subject. He adds that he would never b

communication Mr.. Morteza says:
Every country has its own peculiar,
