A STUDYING MACHINE.

f Edward Jacobson, a Northwestern university student. has invented a studying machine which not only abol- ishes the ravages on the body caused by all-night sessions with towel encir- cled brows over books of small print but also saves, he says, the eyes and the mind.
 Young Jacobson's device is of a phO- nOgraphic nature, for which he has prepared records on which are cOncen- trated the essential points of entire courses. He unstraps his case of rec ords. selects course No. 1. turns out the light. lies down on the bed or couch. pulling a cord which is attached to the machine. prepares to absorb learning by the roll.
 The machine is provided with an at tachmCnt on the order of the works of an eight-day clock. which will run an endefnite period. far longer than any listener will survive. Even if the stu dent drops asleep the constant and monOtonous repetition of the records has the effect of impressing itself on the the seemingly dormant brain, for in the morning the student has the course at his tongues end and goes to his exam

A QUESTION OF CONCURRENT
 JURISDICTION.

The Railroad Commission of Ar izona. The Inter County Commerce Commission of Arizona These names are high sounding. but we doubt whether their euphOnious- ness would be worth the more than slO.OOO a year which it would cost t0 maintain them. They could have no other value than their sound. They would cut as much figure in territorial railway circles as the famous War Board of Los Angeles did in the Span ixh-American war. The object Of that organization with the militant name we believe, was to give the Seventh Regiment of Southern California a prominent place in the conflict. where it could shed luster on the American arms and bring Los Angeles to the favorable attention of the civilized world.
 The disposition of the Seventh Reg iment and all other regiments rested with the war department or rather with the board of strategy. which was being maintained at Washington. D. c. The War Board of Los Angeles had its origin in the growing conviction of a group of real estate men and oth- CT fellow citiens that the war was not being conducted in a manner to yield the highest benefit of publicity to Southern California. Hence the War Board.
 The interstate commerce commits sion was invested about twenty years ago with certain powers affecting the railroads. Less than a year ago these powers were magnified and extended until we believe the commission now is able to locate or alter the location of sidinEs and prescribe the color of the hair which braSemen must wear. In fact. these powers seem to be almost unlimited
 This commission was inadvertently and without a foreknowledge of the creation of the Inter-County Rail- way and Commerce Commission of Arizona, given sole and exclusive ju- risdiction over railway matters in this territory. We do not see how that Jurisdiction can be curtailed by the legislature at this late day.
 An, we see now; why did we not think of it before? It is not intended 10 shear the interstate commerce com mission of any of it's power The real purpose is to give the Inter County Commerce and Railway Commission concurrent Jurisdiction with the Inter- state Commerce Commission in this territory. Nothing could be fairer un- less it was the Los Angeles War Hoard.

THE MILLIONAIRE AND THE
 MOTOR CAR.

There was man who saved and save,
 And got little cash, And soon among the bulls and bears
 Of Wall street cut a dash. By buying here with foresight wise,
 And shrewdly selling there, He woke one morning bright to find
 Himself a millionaire. He bought a costly motor car
 His health to celebrate, The merry footing of its horn
 Re-echoed long and late. "Oh, this is life" he gayly cried.
 "Oh. this is something like" As daily in the big machine
 He whizzed along the pike But what with tires exploding fast
 And fines in every town, Repairs and gasoline. his gold
 Like snowfiakes melted down. And now upon trolly car
 Each day he rides tO work. And draws his modest ten per week,
 once more an humble clerk. -Minna Irving in the Bohemian fol February.

INDECENT PUBLICITY

II Is rather late now to take federal action against undue publicity of the proceedings in the Thaw trial. for the worE, has evidently happened. That Is. ihe worst from the point of view of those who object to the publicity given ,o such testimony as that of Mrs. Thaw last week.
 Bu, that Is not really the worst thing. bad as 1t is, about the trial. More disgusting is the sickening com u,TRt printed in the more slimy New York newspapers from day to day. and which detail the most trivial move rncnts Of the participants in the case.
 They cater to a class of readers who had better never have learned to read, but since they have learned, and havnt been endowed with sense enough 90 make a decent selection O, reading matter. 1t would be well for the postal authorities to intervene not oniy fn this case. but in every other 'a0S NilANl llodtNtS II III SllnllaE- ity
 The printing of such rot as appears daily in many papers is not an exer- else of the freedom of the press. It is not even the exercise Of a wild license nor is it an assault upon decency. for those who have a sense of decency will not read it. IL is though. a menace to society as an education of the igno- rant in immortality and the encourage ment of 1he vicious to further vicious ness
 Not many Of the newspapers of New York are handling this Thaw trial in reprehensible manner, but the ones which are doing so. are the ones which are the especial organs of the igno- rant and immoral classes. They are the ones which print the silly details of the trial written by silly women and sillier reporters. pretended stu dents ard analysts of human nature

CONSUMPTION

To those suffering with tuberculosis of the lungs. or of any other part of the body, l offer a remedy which is effective. IL cures first and second stage cases. and it relieves many in the third stage.
 My treatment is known to no other doctor. and is used by none other. The treatment is given hypodermically and does not conflict with ones daily du- ties.
 The entire course requires fifty-One days. References of many whom l have cured of this disease can be given you. Among them are: Mir. John F.. Walker, Cashier First National Bank. Santa Marie. Calf; Rev. David B. LoofbOurrow, M. r.. Church. 18th and Fedora Sts.. Pico Heights, Los An geles, Calif
 To those beginning on or before Feb. 15. I will furnish medicine and treatment free for twenty-one days Decided improvement is noticed by the tenth treatment. If a completion of the course be desired that will be giv- en at a decidedly reduced rate.

A Meal of uocusts.

In the West Indies the negroes eat
freely of the big grub found in palm
trees. The fat, white morsel, which
they call "grugru." is not cooked or
sailed. The aborigines of Australia
live almost entirely on Il butterfly
known us the bugong. The flies ap-
pear in patches on the rocks, and the
natives smother them with smoke from
fires built below. 1t is said that Hot

Gusts and pulverize them into -four
for breadmaking purposes. The Moors
make stew of them, and after boiling
in water for few minutes they are
eaten with salt, pepper and vinegar.

are enormous, and the native negroes
cut them In two and fry them in fat
and find them not only appetizing, but

of the wholesale produce commission
houses. Some of them have remained
there until they have grown rusty with
age.
Couldn't get finer looking bunch
than that" said one of the dealers
the other day. 'even if it is plaster of
paris. We used to put out the real
article for sign, but the peddlers who
came down here had a way of pulling
one or two out of the bunch that hap
pcned to be hanging there on thu
hook. The small boys, too, had IL way
of making a grab for a banana or two
By the time the bunch was on duty
under the awning for an hour 1t was
no longer presentable to the aesthetic
sense. So we began to cultivate the
make believe article, which is not
quite SO palatable, but just as good for
advertising. And even at that some

ter of paris fruit and get away with
it before he realizes that he has made
