FOOL LEGISLATION.

March 1st, the number of bills intro
duced in the legislature we're about
equal as between the two bodies, and
together aggregated about seven hnnd-
red. That is, they have set themselves
the impossible task of introducing, con-
sidering, amending passing or rejecting
an average or more than ten bills each
working day of the sixty days of the
session providing they could have had
them ready to consider in regular sue
cession from the beginning.
At this writing there are perhaps a
couple of dozen bills that are ready for
the governors approval, there may be
fifty or hundred that have been other
wise disposed Of, and the rest must be
considered" before next Friday. That
is toisay, there must be something like
four or five hunderd bills in various
stages or progress, which the authors
fondly hope may come to the surface
during the few days next week. Some
Of these bills are very important but
the most are pure rubbish if not worse.
"a steering committee will endeavor to
bring the meritorious bills to the top of
this maelstrom, but what will be passed,
what defeated, what amended, and what
left in inoccuous desuetude, mo man
knoweth until afterwards.
We think that a constitutional amend
ment allowing each memberto bring in
only one bill per session, except by un-
animous consent would be q good thing.
II some Of the legislator would only
take the paper on which the bills are
written and twist them into foolscaps for
wear IN the 5legislatiy halls, the bills
would have the aalne significance and
save expense and trouble.

Fuentes Had a straioht Tin.

That American actors are not the
only stage heroes is proven by the
following anecdote of the recent earth.
quake in Mexico City: Luckily the
principal theater was empty, the play.
goers and players were gone, when
the shock came. Not so at the Arbeu
There the performance was in full
blast. The lights in the theater went
out. For moment there was silence.
Then was felt the shock. Panic-strick-
en- cries went up from all portions of
the house.
The situation was critical. In case
the audience attempted to leave the
house hundreds would be killed in the
melee. Fuentes, the leading actor,
was equal to the emergency. With re-
markable promptitude and self-posses-
sion he advanced to the front of the
stage and while the building was rock
ing, assured the audience that the
shock would soon be over and that
there was not the slightest danger
Just where Fuentes got the tip that
the thing wouldn't last long and would
not be violent he did not divulge, but
the audience voted him a trump and
kept it's seats till the thing was over.

SeIf.Developina Plates.

The amateur photographer slid the
milk-colored plate into a tray and
poured over it pint of water. Mag
ically then in the mysterious rudy
light fine black lines began to appear
They ran this way and that; they
crossed, deepened, spread; soon the
plate had turned from white to black.
1T has developed itself, you see," said
the photographer. But how? You
put nothing but water on it." I'll
tell you. Just as the surface of this
plate is coated, so there is coating
on the back-a transparent coating of
extremely soluble developer. Yop
need only pour on water, when the de-
veloping chemicals at once dissolve
and in that developing solution the
image begins Immediately to appear.
A good idea isn't it? No, these self.
developing plates are not yet on the
market. They are still little imper-
feet. Soon, though, they will be as
perfect and as common as self-raising

British Arabic Land,

In Great Britain, out OF 32,266,7 55
acres classified in 1906 as cultivated
land, 17244,734 acres were under
permanent grass" leaving a total of
only 15,022.021 acres of arabic land"
only 1851 per cent. of the total land
surface. That is the reason Great
Britain is compelled to import so
much foodstuffs of the farm and to
keep them on her "free of duty" list.
No less than 307 per cent. of the land
Is under permanent grass" the grass
area is steadily increasing, while the
"arable land" is decreasing.

Utilization of Waste,

The United States Steel corporation
is installing IL monster engines at va.
rious plants, the unique feature about
them being that they do not require
oil, coke, coal, wood or ordinary gas
for fuel. They are to be operated
solely with the gas which is generated
in the company's blast furnaces dur
ing the process of steel manufacture.
This gas has heretofore gone to
waste, but hereafter 1t will be made
to turn all the wheels. For a steel
plant 70 be able to save the cost of
its fuel is taking very big stride to-
ward economy To be able to abol-
fish smoke at the same time will add
to its popularity in communities
where the smoke-belching stacks
have smothered the air with black
ness. One more real triumph for the
American restless brain.

! WAS NOT ALL ETIQUETTE.
Minister Tucker Had Reasons of His
Own for Remaining Standing.

When the Hon. Beverly Tucker
minister to the Court of st. James,
was presented to Queen Victoria she
indicated that he be seated by that
slight motion of her plump hand
which all England obeyed. Tucker
was portly and heavy, and the only
available chair was fragile and small.
He appeared not to notice the invita-
ton. A moment later it was repeat
ed, for even at that first interview be-
gan the queens liking for Minister
Tucker, which ripened into such an
intimate friendship as no other Amer
lean ever enjoyed with her majesty.
Still, the weakness of things terres-
trial was more potent than the finger
Of Victoria, and Tucker again ignored
the command. Then the queen put it
in words, when Tucker with a pro-
found bow, replied:
Your majesty, never sit in the
presence of royalty"
II accept the compliment at your
hands, replied the queen; "and now
you must accept comfort at mine"
Comfort" exclaimed Mr.. Tucker.
"Why, I should break both my back
and your majesty's chair if I attempt
ed to sit on it!''-Lippincott's.
