RAP FOR CONVENTIONS.

ldiotio Performances, Says Champ
ciark-WouId Reduce Delegates.
Congressman Champ Clark arrived at
Kansas City the other morning after a
business trip, which he said was nee
essary to his health and pocketbook
after his trying experiences in Denver.
"of all the idiotic performances on
the face Of the earth In modern times
national conventions are the worst"
he said. 5s..s
"You can no more deliberate In one
Of them than you could in boiler
factory.
Nominating president and vice
president and formulating a platform
are among the most serious and impor-
tant functions among men, and ma
tfonal convention should be held FOR
that purpose and not 10 entertain 9
miscellaneous multitude.
Therefore be it known that am
In favor Of cutting down the number
Of delegates one-half and holding the
conventions in halls seating no more
than $500 persons. That Is the only
way to secure decency and order"

Readers Curiosity.
"When l first began to read Kip

was immensely piqued by the scraps
of verse with which he usually headed
his early stories. They were all cred
tied to poems had never heard of in
my life and were just such salient
striking fragments as would naturally
whet ones appetite for the remainder.
For over a year tried hard to locate
those mysterious poems and enlisted
half a dozen book dealers in the
search. At last one of them wrote me
that I was wasting time and that the
alleged quotations were merely MI.

'em to order and stuck them at the top
of his tales for the sake Of the odor Of
erudition they lent to the production.

cooled of had good big laugh. OF
course you know Scott used to do the
same thing, and SO, for that matter,
did Edgar Allan Poe. Poe was really
the worst quotation fakir of the lot.
'tHe would write wise sounding de-
tached sentences and credit them to
imaginary German philosophers with
long, outlandish and impressive names.

Forsst Of stone In Australia.

In Albany, In Australia, is to be seen
a stone forest-in other words, petrified
trees. The trees are Of gray stone.
It is suggested as an explanation OF
the strange phenomenon that In the
depths Of past ages the forest was b
full vegetation and then through some
upheaval Of the earth it was buried in
sand. Little by little water acting 90
the sand penetrated the branches and
sohdihed.
The wood gradually disappeared I'M,

its form. Then in succeeding years
the winds again carried away the sand
and the forest appeared anew, but Of

NEW LAW EFFECTIVE.
Director Foley Announces Fact to
 Public Service Companies.

Director Foley of the department of public works in conference with rep resentatves of the large public service corporations that have to do excavat- l ing work on the city streets, yesterday, informed them that the amendment of the ninth section of the city charter passed by the last general assembly, would go into effect the first of April. 1 Those who were present at the con | fab, were James T. Moran of the Southern New England Telephone Co.,, | MT. White of the Gas company and Edward Dillon of the Water company, The discussion was a general one and the amendment was thoroughly talk cd over. The directors word is man. datory.
 The amendment to the charter was 1 to have gone into effect the fore part of last year, but the public works de- partment did not have any money to pay for the inspection of excavating This year 1t has sl0,000 to expend in seeing that the amendment is lived up to-
 It is said that tho amendments meet with general dissa tisfsction. A gentle man, the manager of a company which does lot of street excavation, said last evening that the amendments were evidently drwn up by some one that did not know much about street exca- vating. One of the amendments puts ell lfah n accidents due to excavations for all damage suits in which these eXcava- tions figured. Now they afe let out and the city is the one that will have to stand the claims for damages or go 10 court
 Amendment nine is as follows:
 Sec. 2. No person or corporation which shall, by authority of any H. cense or permit. take up any portion of any pavement having a cement. concrete, or stone foundation between the curb lines of any roadway in said city, shall refill any opening or exca- yation made in said roadway or re- store such pavement. but the same shall be filled and restored by the di, rector of public works. and the ex- pense of refilling such opening or eN- cavation, and of restoring such pave
 ment, shall be paid to the collector o'
 taxes by the person or cor poration by whom such pavement
 was taken up or such ex
 cavation was made Said city may b! = ordinance provide that any person oi s corporation shall. while indebted to thu f city for such expense. he prohibited
 from making any excavation or takinl t up any such pavement under any Ii : eense or permit then outstanding or | be issued.

To the outside world the greatest
ornithological oddly in this country
Is the kookoburra, says the Sidney
(Australial Times. In earlier times Il
was known as the settlers clock, /"
from a belief that its joyful paeans
we're vented regularly at morn. noon
and dusk. being quiescent through the
heat Of the forenoon and the wane of
the afternoon. That belief has long
been shattered. The kookaburra
laughs just when the fit takes H. par.
ticularly vixen excited: and it langhs
as readily at the violent death OF its
mother-in-law as It does at the en-
ragged settler, when he falls of his
haystack. A wounded bird makes a
demoniacal row. which will bring all
others within hearing into the neigh
boring tree, and these at once set up
an echoing cackle that is repeated
again and again.
