sthat the court will force the COM
pany sn sell it to actual settlers at
$z.5o per acre, in tracts not to ex-
eeed 100 acres. SfiIr another con
tention is that further legislation by
by C ngress will be necessary
to put the land on the ~ mar
ket. In either case it seems to be
the view that the persons who get
it will have to be ''actual settlers"
within the full meaning of the
term. That would mean that the
buyer, would have to actually live
on the land, make it his home, and
do those other things necessary to
constitute a bone fde residence.
This would be very likely to be in
sisted on if there is a forfeiture OF
the company's hold to the land at
the present prices, the idea being
that if the corporation. should be
made to obey the law, the full
terms of the law in providing its
transfer to the buyers would also
have to be complied with, which
would mean genuine residence on
the property so that the require
ments that it should 60 only te
''actual settlers would be carried
out. Further movements in tre
matter will be watched with much
interest.

There are three million acres of

But It Is evident to many travellers

Italy and the Italians, according to
one party OF Americans, made their

Call OF the wireless.

When the Frisco cop hears a bell
ring In his pocket he viii have to get
busy and hurry to the nearest police
box and call up the police station. A
Berkeley Cali electrician has erected
a wireless pole on the site for the new
town hall and is testing a scheme to

compIImsnts AR Death.

There is a German proverb which
says, Man DART nur sterben um gelobt
zu werden" eve need only die in order
to get praised). This, we cannot help
but admit, is fairly true in general
sense, and If we required any proof or
confirmation the epitaphs In ceme-
teries, churchyards and churches
would readily furnish 1t. Indeed II we
had no other testimony to go by than
these pious inscriptions we might al
most fancy that men and women had
arrived at such state of perfection
that they were little less than angels.
Death, like time, is great healer of
wounds, great soother of passions, a
great calmer of turbulent thoughts,
slayer of enmity. He is the peace
maker par excellence, having caused
the saying to gain general currency
that we should say nothing OF the dead
but what il good. Among the laws Of
the Twelve Tables" complied by the
Decemviri, there was one which, in
fact, forbade to speak injuriOusly Of
the dead. 1t Is in exchange for this
doubtless that we are always doubly
anxious and ready to vilify the living.

Electrical Anaesthesia.

or tremendous Importance to the
world Is the discovery Of the produc-
ton Of general auaesthesia by the APP
plication of electricity TO the skull,
announced by Professor Ieduc OF
France. II is declared that current
Of thIrty.hve volts sent internationally
through two electrodes applied TO the
head will induce thoroughly healthful
sleep. In which the most painful and
most difficult surgical operations may
be performed.
The substitution OF electricity for
chloroform, ether or morphine as q
general anaesthctlc would be a boon
to mankind comparable only TO the
marvellous discovery Of the sleep pro-
ducing properties Of chloroform, made
by Dr. Simpson Of Edinburgh almost
sixty years ago. To obyiate the dele
terious results that sometimes follow
the employment Of chemical anaes-
thetics has long been the aim OF sclen-
lists. Chloroform or ether frequently
upsets the patients digestive organs.
and the gradual awakening from the
sleep caused by drug is in some
cases long and painful process. Nor
phlne Is open TO the charge Of laying
the foundation for the habit Of taking
the drug after the temporary necessity
for its administration has passed. In
addition to these objections the lay
mind frequently coneeives horror Of
the drug that renders the surgeons
task doubIy difficult. as the patients
dread must be disslpated before the
knife can be applied.
The cabled reports Of Professor Le-
dues discovery assert that the mind
seems TO work more clearly and rapid
~ after one OF the artlfcially induced
electric sleeps" and that rest Is
brought TO patients suffering from
nervous exhaustion, ordinary fatigue
or even moral depression, II these
claims are sustained by continued ex.
perimentntion the soothing current
may be OF inestImahle service to man
kind In fields remote from that Of the
surgeon. However. even II the use Of
the electric current In producing gen.
eral anaesthesia is the sole result Of

Too High a Price For Deer.


II In estimated that for every six
deer killed IN the Adlrondacks in the
brief hunting season one human life
r. sacrificed. This Is a price that
staggers humanity" for venison, and
more severe laws and regulations for
the restraint OF the careless gunner
are urgently needed.
Not all of the casualties are due to
earelessness. since. the woods being
full OF hunters and moving deer being
q difficult mark. 1t frequently happens
that bullet fails 10 find its billet in

NAL TO imhed itself In a human form.
The majority of the accidents. how
ever. may be attributed to reckless
handling Of firearms, buck fever" and

animal
Probably at the next session OF the
New York legislature a law requiring
the hunter to withhold his fire until he
can see the horns OF the deer win be
enacted. A similar law has worked
well In Canada, being considered on
the other side of the border a measure
Of great utility in the protection of
hunters and guides

IL IL said that more money IL wast-

advertising experts of the country,
men who have devoted years to the

voted TO discussion of the bill limiting
the hours of railway employees. which

tomorrow
The discussion was opened by Mr..
La Toilette. of Wisconsin. who de-
clared that the measure had received
the endorsement of the national Or

being manifested was from employees
who had been cOerced by the railroads
to present protests.
The discussion became general,

con, Warren, bolivar, Patterson, Hey

Gift of Unusual Nature Made to tic
Catherine Kennedy Home.

The Catherine Kennedy Home has
received a gift from a friend which IS
of a very unusual nature. This is $3.50,
only the interest of which can be USED.
The purpose is for the endowment Of
the birthday Of young man who died
over a year ago, and the gift is from
a sister of the gentleman.
1t is very fitting and appropriate
that he should be remembered in TINS
way. as he was known personally TO
the inmates. having gone there fre-
quently as a boy, and as a young
man he continued his visits to the
home.
The endowment is perpetual and the
interest will be used always on the
21st of January (his birthday towards
providing food for that day.
1t is hoped that this example Will De
followed by others who would like

ones.
