POLITICAL.

Lincoln SteflIns, in his article Of last
Sunday, predicts the formation Of two
new parties in the interest of the
trusts and corporations and other mon
eyed interests; and the other in the com
mon or general interest.
1t is interesting for Pennsylvania to
observe that Chicago has just had a
trial of the new Illinois primary law
The primaries held there a few days
ago were for the nomination of can
didates for Aldermen to be voted on at
the April city election. The reports in
dicate that it's outcome goes far to-
ward bearing out the claim Of its snp-
porters, although it is worth while not
ing that initial tests are frequently snr-
rounded by rose colored tints.
However, it is interesting that an IN
usually heavy vote was polled By both
parties under conditions which prevent
ed the l,-actice by enthusiastic workers
Of voting at the primaries of both. OF
the candidates recommended by the
Municipal Voters League all but two
were successful The issue was on a
question likely to call into activity the
full force of practical politics, being
the raising of the license fee for saloons
from $500 to $1,000, against which the
saloons rallied all the strength they
conld command There were seventeen
contests and the reform element or
those recommended by that elemenr,
won in twelve cases.

Ohio, is better well than the first one
that was drilled IN the latter part Of
December and caused so much interest
to be taken in that locality While only
one location removed from the initial
strike. it shows that more Of the same
kind of wells may be expected IN thar
vicinity and increases the possibilities
for "a pool of considerable dimensions.
Unless all psst experience is wrong
lirtle can be expected from this new
discovery. Freaks Of this kind are
known IN al parts OF the oil region,
from Allegsny, n. y. TO Butler, Pa
and in the Southwest. In the older
sections of the regions these freak wells
have been found along the edges Of the
gas territory, and their product is gen
orally looked upon as the result of the
co densation of the natural gas in the
underlying rocks. The white oil IN the
Clinton Lime may be due to the same
causes or it may have come from the
Trenton formation lying beneath, ana
haye been partially distilled by being
subjected to the internal heat OF The
earth during past geological ages.

wAsnINGToN NOTES.


On "Wednesday Of last week, the tive
houses Of Congress received q jolt from
President Roosevelt that created pro
found sensation. In message TO them
be said he hesitated before signing the
resolution requiring the Interstate
Commerce Commission to investigate
the railroads accused Of trying to
monopolize the coal industry of the
country and Of the oil. industry in it
relation to the railroads because, to
him, tie resolution appeared to bear
The marks Of insincerity.
The chief mark Of insincerity was
the failure to give the commission legal
power to compel the attendance Of
witnesses; and no appropriation was
carried by the resolution to pay the ex-
peuses of the investigation. Another l.
that the Department of Commerce ano
Labor has long been engaged in an IN
yestigation of the oil and anthracite IN
dustries, and preliminary report
thereon will soon be sent to Congress.
He also called attention t5 the fact that
If the commission. now busy with it
legitimate business, compels any
testimony on the subject those giving
testimony will thereby be granted i'm
munity from criminal prosecution.
In. view Of those facts the President
asked the lawmakers to given clcsei
consideration to the subject, SO that
they may come to conclusion thai
will really represent their desires. H'
asked for legislation that will rlake th'
desires of Congress clear, whether th'
commission is to have the power t.
compel the attendance of witnesses ant
also to make an allowance of. say
$4,000 for the payment Of expenses.
The Senate put the Statehood propo
sition in very different form in the fna
voting last Friday, by striking out al
all references to the union and admis
sion Of ArizoI> and New Mexico ant
making the measure provide exclusively
for the creation of a state ont Of Okla
homa and the Indian Territory. The
House passed 40S private pension bilis,

Supreme Court viii retire on the age
limit soon. Senator Knox don't want
the place, and Sec'y Taft is hesitating

The fact that there was DO minister

CATCHING TURTLES.
Methods Used by the Fishermen of
the Tropics


the Tropics.
Turtles are always captured at night
and usually on moonlight ones. This
is the time they go On the shore to lay
their eggs. They select 4 smooth,
sandy beach, dig holes in the sand, de
posit their eggs there and leave them
to be hatched by the heat Of the sand
When the turtles are on shore for this
purpose hunters come upon them, and
they are easily overtaken, for turtles
are slow movers. The hunters have
not avery strenuous undertaking. All
that is necessary to be done is TO turn
the turtles on their backs and leave
them until the next day, when they are
removed.
Another more curious way Of catch
ing turtles is by fishing by the remOra.
a fish found in the tropical waters. The
popular name Of this fish and the one
BIZ which the children of those -coun-
tries call them is the sucking fish. This
name is given to them on account Of 4
disk on their heads, by which they can
attach themselves to any smooth sur
face. like the side OF shark, a ship
or the shell Of turtle. This disk is
Ike the soft leather suckers" that are
popular with schoolboys. When this
fish has once attached himself to any
thing you can pull him to pieces rather
than force him TO release his hold.
Turtle hunters 60 in boats and carry
several Of these remoras in tubs. When
they see a turtle and get near him the
suci5er is sent after him. He is held
by The ring on his tail, which in turn
IS attached by stout cord. Soon the
fish is securely fastened to the shell
of the turtle, and turtle and fish arc
hauled into the boat together. Once in
the air the remora loosens his hold and
is dropped back into the tub to rest
until another turtle is sightcd.-Wash-
