SESSION IS ENDED.
Tenth Assembly Finishes Sixty-D Day
Job Of Law Making.

HELENA, March The governor
morning vetoed the re.apportion-
ment bill on the ground that there was
no correct census pon which to APP
portion the representatives. The sem
ate, by a vote of II to I, sustained his
action. The bill would have given
Silver Bow ii of the q members of
the house, Cascade county seven mem.
bers instead of five, Chouteau county
three instead of two, and made other
changes.
Besides standing by the governors
veto OF the apportionment bill the
senate continued the slaughter of
house measures today, several we'll
known bills going to their deaths
among them being the state chemist
and pure food bill passed by the
house, the herding district bill, and
the bill calling for printing unpaid
licenses.
The action of the senate yesterday
in defeating the Fergus county sub.
experiment stations was reconsidered
and the bill turned over t the steer.
ing committee. An unsuccessful at.
tempt was made to have the steering
committee report the pool room bill.
After a lively discussion the house
amendments 70 the senate fish and
game bill giving the warden four more
deputies was concurred in. The gen.
eral appropriation bill was coucurred
In after 1t had been amended, the ap.
preparations for milk and meat inspec.
ton, the encampment Of the national
guard and the appropriation for the
clerk for the coal mine inspectors had
been cut out.
The most important acts of the house
today were the killing OF the bill ap.
propriating S6, 600 for a silver service
for the cruieer Montana, Gray having
made the final appeal against the
me- and the defeat Of the milk
and meat inspection bill, No. 42l, by
q vote of q to 30. The house refused
to concur in the sen ate amendments to
the wine room bill, stating that they
would amend the present laws SO as to
make conditions more intolerable than
At present. The bill was sent to con.
ference, Scallon, Campbell and White
side being named a conferees.
The house devoted the entire morn.
ing session to the considerable oil
bills on final passage and with the ex'
c~eptions referred to, all we're favorsb'

Horses Bring Good Prices.
Helena Independent.

Helena Independent.
Horses are held for higher prices At
present than at any previous time in
the history Of the state, according to
horsemen. They say animals are not
particularly scarce, but there is an
enormous demand for them. Teams
that sold three years ago for $3.50 are
now selling for $500 to 500.
The Milwaukee and Billings & Nor
them are using hundreds of animals
in grading the roadbeds and every
man with q team that wants work can
secure IL.
The increased mining activity in the
state is furnishing employment to
many animals in hauling timber, sup
plies, mining machinery to the mines
and in hauling ore to the railroads.
Not a few mines in the state have been
forced to curtsil their output OF ore
on account Of the difficulty OF securing
teams.
Sound, ripe teams weighing about
l,4OO p0unde are not to be secured for

Pennsylvania Tree Growing Bounty.
There is a law on the statute books
OF Pennsylvania which ought to have
wide circulation. It is "An Act for
the encouragement Of Forestry"
This law takes the best means pos
sible to encourage owners OF land
to preserve and propagate timber
trees, for it allows a reduction OF
taxes to the owner OF forest land
which comes up to certain require
ments of the act. The first man to
take advantage Of the new law is an
Allegheny County farmer. Mr.. Ten
ner, of Leet Township. Mr.. Tenner
has obtained from the County Com
missioners a reduction of $22.5O on
his taxes for complying with the pro-
visions of the law.
1t is rather remarkable that the
second county in the State in point
of population should be the first to
pay a bounty for forest preservation
under the new law, but such is the
case. - Pittsburg Chronicle Tele-

In a number OF ways; a plain stitched

Catching Fish by Telephone.

The principle Of the telephone has
been applied by a German inventor to
the location OF schools of fish by fish
ermen. \ sensitive transmitter in a
waterproof case is lowered in the
water with a suitable connection on
fishing vessel or at some station.
The passage of a shoal of fish causes
constant tapping on the case OF
the microphone, and in this manner
the presence of the fish in the water
is revealed TO the fishermen at the
station and efforts are made at once
20 capture the school. The fisher
men are in readiness, and they start
at once, with the result that a great
portion of the fish are captured. The
device has been given practical test.
and IL is said that IL is possible to
determine the character OF the fish
with more or less accuracy. Her
ring and such small fish passing in
great numbers make whistling
noise. their numbers being largely
indicated by the. pitch of the sound.
while goldfish make noise entirely
different in character.-Philadelphis

THE sOMERsAULT CAR.
An Automobile That Turns a Somer.
sault i'm Mid-Air.

Whatever may be thought OF the
American somersaulting motor car AS
public performance, IL Is certainly
a triumph Of scientific mechanics.
The car, moving down steeply in
clined track, attains a velocity OF
tyenty-eight miles an hour. Leaving
the track at the base Of the incline IL
Is shot into the air, and turns COM
plete somersault, before reaching
platform some feet off. The arrange
ments by which this remarkable feat
Is achieved are notable for their sim
plicity. The necessary gyrating i'm
pulse is given 10 the car as IL reaches
the base Of the incline by the ar
rangement OF the guiding rails in re-
lation 10 the track itself. On the in
cline, which starts at height Of fifty
feet from the ground, are a pair OF
broad tracks for the wheels OF the
car, and between these a pair OF
guide rails. The car is kept TO these
rails by four ball-bearing rollers, two
I'm front, and two behind. The for
mer press the sides OF the rails, while
the latter run in grooves on the tops
OF the same. This arrangement, COM
bined with the sharp upward turn
OF the rails at the base OF the in
cline, gives the car the necessary
twisting impulse just as it leaps into
the air. FJr the front wheels Of the
car remains on the track, while the
hind ones are tilted up by the back
rollers, which run on the top Of the
rails. AS the centre OF gravity Of the
car describes a parabola in the air,
the car itself turns a slow somersault,
moving through 40 deg for every
two feet horizontal advance. Hav-
ing turned completely round, 1t will
have thus advanced nine feet, and
collapsible platform Is placed at this
distance TO receive IT, The car lands
on this in a horizontal position, the
force Of the impact being taken up
by the springs, and runs off 1t for
some thirty or forty feet. The sue
cess OF the affair consists in the care
full adjustment OF the pitch OF the
rails in relation TO that OF the track.
The car must land on the platform all
four wheels at once. Otherwise, as
has been shown by actual occur
renee, the wheels first touching will
be crushed, and the car damaged

more or less like a Quadrille. After
a great deal OF bowling and scraping,
the evolutions became gradually less
and less dignifed. and at last all
hands were joined and the entire
party tore through the house like a
pack OF wild Indians. When I sank
breathless into a chair after my first
experience with this peculiar form OF
exercise. a charming English lady

cents:

Size For Coronet Braid.

The coronet braid, called a matte
in Paris. is now most esteemed for
the smart coiffure. The matte must,
however, be full and fussy and thick,
and unless a woman has so much hair
as to be weighted down by IL she had
much better buy her matte at the
bairdresser's than try to make IL from
her own tresses. IL Is a becoming
mode and queenly. Pity. then, that
st Is SO difficult Of attainment, for Il
takes much money to buy a matte Of
acceptable size.
