a dozen leaders Of prominrce. One Of
the number. Oyama, is th1 general in
chief and not leader OF nen, while
i've others are army comminders and
therefore not at the head o. the line

Originally a Japanese divisioa had
paper strength Of 1900 men. on that
basis a force Of 100000 woull com

corps commander should be doAg
things to appear in official and neya
paper dispatches. In the civil war Hal
cock, "Stonewall" Jackson, Sheridan
Longstreet Thomas, Fighting joe
Hooker and others made fame as corps
commanders.
A division commander with 15,00'
men at his back should also make tell

division with a paper strength Of 10,

Law Is King.

1t ought to be easier to get rid OF
bad law than TO depose a bad king, and
also easier to amend an imperfect law
than to reform a faulty monarch. Law
is the ultimate authority in this coun-
try, and theoretically the people bow
to it. but practically there are so
many evasions for what seem to be
good reasons that the majesty Of the
law is violated. To evade particular
law because it is bad casts a discredit
upon the principle Of law. Comment
ing upon the general disposition to
make new laws. the Saturday Evening
Post says:
we do not need new laws; we have too
many already What we need is the sen
sible and honest enforcement or existlne
laws. And we shall never be greatly bet
ter of until we shut our ears against re-
formers shouting for new legislation and
| tricky politicians calling for new grants
Of mower when their only purpose Is tc
distract public attention from the tac'
Z that thew already have under existing law
I an the power they need II they would ou
use it, Sensible judges with fogless mlnos
! sensible EXECUTIVES WIN eoN, ,t,--- ~.
l esty-that is our need. And swelling th'
/ statute books only postpones the hlling o.
that need.
1t has been held that the only wa,
to kill a bad law is TO enforce it anC
make it unpopular. That is a drastic
method. but it inculcates the idea tha
law is to be obeyed because it is law
Our executives, judges and lawmaker
are themselves accountable to Jaw, 81
there can be no reasonable pleading o
discrimination A perfect law may b
impossible, but perfect respect for tn
intent Of law will do away with man
of the evils that may come from i'm
perfect statutes.

RAMSEY TO LEAVE WABASH
President Of the System Is clashins
With George Gould.

Pittsburg. Pa. April 20.-The an
nouncement is made in railroad cir
oles here that Joseph Ramsey, Jr.
president OF the Wabash, has rendered
his resignation as president of the
Pittsburg Terminal, the Pittsburg end
of the Wabash system, and his resig-
nation as head OF the other Wabash in.
terests will follow quickly as meetings
are held.
1t is expected that Howard Gould
will succeed Ramsey as head Of the
Wabash system. News of Ramsey's
retirement from the Wabash has been
expected for some time. Within the
last two months trouble came to the
surface in Pittsburg which indicated
that there was friction between Ram
.sey and George Gould.
Howard Gould has made several
trips to Pittsburg since the line was
opened into this city, and his conduct
provoked the idea that he was looking
about to familiarize himself with the
Wabash details here. He took hold of
things as il he might one day be in
charge.

SALT IN BUTTER.
aGritty Butter" "MottIes- and EJECT
of salt on Market ouaIity.

AGritty Butter" "MottIes- and EJECT
of salt on Market Quality.
GRITTY butter" is a familiar phrase
used by expert butter scorers to indi-
cate that part Of the salt is present in
an undissolved condition. Such a con.
dltion Of the salt In butter may be due
30 D poor condition Of the salt before
It is used; (2) adding so much salt to
the butter that it cannot properly be
dissolved by the amount Of water in
It; (3) in some instances insufficient
working. When gritty butter is caused
by insufficient working mottled butter
usually results.
Gritty Butter as Cause OF Notifies.
1t is a common opinion that II the
salt in butter is not well dissolved
then the butter win become mottled on
standing. If all the water has not been
saturated with salt and there Is still
some undissolved salt left, then the
granular salt viii cause notifies. This
has been known for long time, but
whether undissolved salt left I'm butter
after the water in the butter has been
saturated win really cause notifies
as been a question Of conjecture. Ex-
larlments at the Iowa station are said
baAfessrs. Mckay and Lorser' to prove
, satisfactorily that mottled butter does
no always occur from undissolved
sal 'lf the butter is worked sufficient
ly pdistribute the salt evenly in the
buttIAand TO cause the water 70 be
satup ID, then no notifies will result
froml1a presence Of undissolved salt.
Buter Flavor Covered by salt.
Owing to the degree Of influence the

amouA OF salt have upon the market

to givt this part Of buttermaking as
much Judy and application Of skill as
conditNs will permit. Ii might be
\ mentiolid in connection with this that

. have a better sale when the salt con-
ent was comparatively high. while II

SOLAR ECLIPSE NOVELTY.
Color Photography TO BE Applied In
Observing the Phenomenon.

Color Photography to BE Applied In
Observing the Phenomenon.
On Aug. 80 Of the present year there
will take place a total eclipse Of the
sun, which viii be visible on land in
northwestern Canada, Labrador, Spain,
eastern Algeria, Tunis, Tripoh. Egypt
and Arabia, says Harper's Weekly. AS
usual, carefully organized scientific
parties are preparing to observe and
study this interesting phenomenon, and
various stations will be occupied by
astronomers, with elaborate apparatus.
One Of the novelties to be attempted Is
to apply color photography TO the OBJ
seryation Of the eclipse, so that rec
ord can be made of the appearance OF
the chromosphere and corona The plan
is TO employ the three color process
where screens of different colors are
used with three different plates, each
screen cutting of light Of various col
ors, so that when pOsitlves from the
three plates are made and used With
light Of color corresponding TO the
| screen the resulting picture has the col
ors of the original.
For the eclipse photographs a. Gamers
with three lenses and three screens
will be employed. as it is necessary
/ that the exposures shall be made 81
multaneously. As the plates are sensi
1 tive to the different colors in differen
degrees, there viii be a properly ad
justed diaphragm or stop for each lens
SO that the same time Of exposure viii
suffice for all. The color phenomena o
a total eclipse Of the sun are considered
most beautiful. and considerable inter
est attaches to this method Of repro
ducing them.
