HOUSE MEMBERS
CAUSE A TANGLE
ADJOURNMENT DUE TO LACK OF
QUORUM
Sergeant-at-Arms Hunts in Vain for
epresentatlves-5ilI Abolshing
Grade of Lieutenant General
Discussed
BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, March S.-The house
today passed the Indian appropriation
bill and proceeded to tangle itself up
over the bill to abolish the grade of
lieutenant general in the army.
The result was an adjournment for
lack of a quorum after members had
been locked in the hall for half an hour
and the sergeant at arms had been
scurrying to the various hotels in
search of members.
The vote to consider the bill showed
and overwh lining sentiment in it's
favor, and as it is the pending business
under call of committee it will prob
ably be reported and passed in due
course.
Bill Withdrawn
After the passage of the Indian bill
considerable time was taken up on "a
bill establishing additional court towns
in the Indian territory, which finally
was withdrawn.
When the military committee was
reached in the call Mr.. Prince of IL
linois called up his bill to abolish the
grade of lieutenant general in the army.
A quorum not being present the doors
were closed against the departure of
members, the sergeant at arms was
directed to bring absentees and the roll
was called on the question of consider
ing the bill.
This vote resulted in 1O5 yeas and 80
nays with 13 answering present lacking
thirty of a quorum. Mr.. Payne on in
quiring and being informed that should
the house adjourn the bill would not
lose it's place in the order of business,
moved to adjourn. The motion was
carried, and at $50 Speaker Cannon de-
clared the adjournment.

Morgan Seeks Information

1t was suggested by Senator Morgan
that congress doubtless would have to
pass upon the question of having the
canal built by contractors, and he
asked the witness to give his views ON
that subject.
II think it will be best for the gov
ernment as a whole if contractors do
the work." said Professor Burr.
He added that he would be of this
opinion whether the waterway were
constructed on the sea level or with
locks. He expressed the opinion. how
ever, that the government, should pro-
ceed with the work far enough to de-
termine fairly what would be a rea-
sonable price to pay for the work.

I5y ASS, Ncia ed Press.
WASHINGTON, March S.-The house
committee on appropriations agreed to-
day. to report an executive and judicial
appropriation bill carrying appropria-
tions aggregating 1874 1S1, as against
S29, ,S22, $50 for 1906. The amount agreed
on is a reduction of S1,135,57 from the
estimates submitted to the committee
by the various departments.
Salaries are carried in the bill for
sixty-five less persons than were pro-
vided for in the last bill and the num-
Der of salaries CONTEMPLATED in the
estimates was reduced 236 by the COM
mittee. Many limitations on the ap-
preparations are stipulated.
The most radical of these is designed
to relieve the department pay rolls of
high salaried aged clerks. 1t provides
that no clerk over 65 years of age is
TO receive more than S1400 a year; no
clerk over 6S years more than $780,
and no clerk over 10 more than SSiO
After June IS, 1918, no person in the
classified service more than 70 years
old is to be retained in any department.
No Transferring of Clerks
The bill provides that hereafter clerks
shall not be transferred from one de-
department to another until they have
served at least three years in the de-
partment from which they desire to be
transferred.
1t requires that hereafter all de-
partments are to prepare their esti-
mates each year according to the order
and arrangement of the appropriation
acts for the year preceding. Any
changes in such order and arrangement
and transfers of salaries from one Of
fice to another desired by a head of
department are to be submitted in notes
added to the estimates.
Most Of these restrictions are designed
TO prevent the advancement of favorite
clerks to the disadvantage of employees

ENGRAVED PICTURES.
Their Romantic Origin Dates Back to
the Fifteenth Century.


The art of engraved pictures dates its
romantic origin to the chamber of
Florentine goldsmith, Maso Finiguerra,
in the fifteenth century, about the time
that Gutenberg was struggling with
his printing from movable types. Be-
fore that day pictures were drawn or
painted by hand. FiniGuerra was
celebrated worker in metals. and. being
commissioned to make 4 pax of gold
engraved with Il coronation of the Nir-
gin, he sought to test his design by
filling in the lines with preparation
Of oil and lamphlack, which threw the
picture into relief BY chance the face
was laid face downward on Il piece Of
damp lnen and when taken up it was
discovered that the picture was printed
Sheet after sheet of damp paper was
impressed by the same plate and the

VICIOUS SEA SNAKES
THERE ARE FIFTY VARIETIES, ALL OF
THEM VENOMOUS.

with the Exception of the Cobra and
Bush master of Africa, No Serpent
on Land Kills So Quickly and Ter
ribly as Do Those of the Ocean.
Fearlessness is one of the most strik-
ing characteristics of sea snakes, and
It adds greatly to the danger that is to
leads them to attack fishermen and
swimmers, and even to climb up the
anchor chains and through the hawse
holes and attack the crew, and as the
bite of every one Of the fifty known
varieties is fatal there IS great fear felt
Of them in the ocean spaces which they
inhabit.
These fifty varieties are all classified
under the general title of thanato-
phidia. None of them is able to live
anywhere except in ocean water. Every
variety and subvariety is as poisonous
us the cobra or the bushmaster of AZ
RIGA. Indeed, with the exception Of
these two land varieties, there is no
snake on land that kills so swiftly and
so terribly as do the sea snakes. Ow-
ing to their fatal weapons and their
ease and celebrity in swimming there
are practically no enemies which de-
stroy enough of them to diminish their
numbers.
Almost all the thanatophidia are
beautifully colored, even more gorgeous
than any Of the land snakes, with the
possible exception of the coral, Grass
and carpet snakes. They are banded,
striped, specliled and blotched with
green, olive, yellow, blue and black and
present most brilliant spectacle as
they are seen swimming below the sur
face Of the transparent blue of the Indi-
an ocean. When they are swimming at
the ordinary rate of speed they seem
to undulate all over. They do not wind
through the water as the eel does. but
their locomotion resembles that Of the
caterpillar except that it Is far more
graceful, and as they move and twist
the colors play along their sides and
backs as they do on the dolphin. When
they dash at their prey at full speed
they move like an arrow, with their
heads and necks thrust straight before
them If they are swimming under the
surface, or, If they are darling along
the top Of the water, with their heads
elevated just enough to clear the
waves. When they are racing along
thus their sole means of locomotion is
their broad, paddle shaped tail, which
Is peculiar to all the sea snakes and
forms the only striking difference be-
tween them and the ordinary land SER
pent.
This paddle is used like a steamers
screw and has immense power. Bent
sideways 1t will stop the snake imme-
diately as If the creature had anchored
suddenly. When doing or resting over
reefs, which are common in the coral
banks, snakes hold fast to the rocks or
bottom with their broad tails and will
often sway in this way for hours In
calm weather.
Men may have recovered from the
bites of these selpents, but there are
certainly none en- record. Most OF
their victims are Malay and other ma
tive fishermen, ard shore dwellers and

Glorious Work of the Modern Reaper
Il Fit Subject For Art.

Poetry and art have these many
years pictured the labors of men and
women in the harvest field. From
Ruth, the cleaner, to Mllet's REAPER"
we have read the long, melancholy sto-
ry of the toiers gathering with crude,
Vastcful, inhuman hand tools the crops
of the world that the nations might
have bread. Nightly understood, these
two women, living so far apart, are pa
thctic monuments to the astounding
stupidity that could permit such things
when, as we now see. by taking thought
q machine can release humanity from
such senseless labor. With singular
perversity artists have delighted to
paint pictures of foolish toll. Even now
the critics tell us that neither the now
er, the reaper, the thrashinS machine
nor the sulky plow is a fit subject for
picture.
Never was there greater blunder.
The glory and majesty Of our mighty
harvests, won for the feeding Of the
world with so little labor that the vast
wheatfelds seem lonely, the smoking
clouds of chaff and straw blown high
In the air from whirr!ng thrashers, the
great companies of men and horses
marching to the horizon as the plows
turn side sweeps of sod to the sum- the
gang drills sowing mile long lacelike
threads over the brown earth where

physicians rarely get to see them.
Statistics are not kept in that part
Of the world, SO it is impossible to
ascertain how many are killed in this
way each year Travellers say that
there is hardly fishing village which
has not its tale Of death to tell.
Scientists once held to the opinion
that the deadlness Of the bite was due
not to the venom, like that of the land
snakes, but to some property that
caused blood poison, as does the bite
of many fishes which are not poisonous
in themselves But this opinion was
changed after the medical men on
board the British warship Algerine had
made careful observations of a sailor
who had been bitten. They proved
that the snakes were directly poison
Gus and that they carry fangs charged
with venom exactly like the cobra.
The open ocean Is the home of the
sea snakes. They do not even ascend
the rivers. Their favorite haunts are
the arms of the sea, which separate
the islands of China, India and the
south Pacific seas. They don't stay
near the shores, but remain at some
distance from the land They are inca
