Total ............. 1924. 100000
Totals of Money Bills.

Some of the expenditures author
lied by Congress for the fiscal year
1909 are, in round numbers, SILL
100000 carried in the Notifications
bill; 1922, 100000 in the postoffice
bill; $9S,0O0,0OO for the army;
$123. 100000 for the navy; $685.

600 in the sundry civil bill; $4,000
600 in the Indian bill; $33,00O,O0O
in the legislative, executive and ju-
.dicial bill. and 100000 in the
urgent deficiency bill.
The leaders have raised warning
voices and urged the cutting down
of annual estimates submitted to Con-
gress. These suggestions have not
kept the figures down and have had
little good effect.
Democrats are already preparing
to make use of the figures furnished
by their opponents in campaign docu-
ments, and are hoping for success on
the record of the party in power.
Most, If not all, of the committees
making up the money bills have
failed by many thousands OF dollars
to meet the estimates made by the
executive departments. The tendency
has been always to increase rather
than decrease the amounts expended
in former years.

FEAR OF DEATH.

It is ten times more likely that you will be burned or scaIded to death than that you will be slain hy < tn.n derbolt So say that statistieians. Yet fear of lightning received the heav- jest percentage in a recent census of fears taken inEurope. Men, like ami mals are more likely to be struck when standing in groups than when alone and taey are more likely to be struck when under tree or be- side a barbed-wire fence than any where else. More than Falf the per. sons killed by lightning were under trees when struck.
 The great depression suffered just before a thunderstorm is due to the failure of the nervous system to re- spond quickly, to the rapidly varying electrical potential of the air and the quickly changing conditions of tenn perature, humidity and pressure. Lightning photographs of the skin, where red figures appear represent ing ferns and trees in intricate form. often show themselves after a light ming stroke. These forms have given rise to ideas regarding the reproduc- ton of scenes in the neighboring landscape, and they have been re gently explained by Prof. Elmer Gates of Washington. He allows the electric sparks to impinge upon photographic plates, and has repro duced these figures in what he terms electographs, some of them showing beautiful fernlike forms.
 By aid Of surveying instruments ar ranged at two stations connected tele- phonically there were measured d number of thunderheads, which were compared with other classes of clouds, and found to be by far the largest of all yaporous forms floating in the atmosphere. Several were sew en miles and more in height, the apexes touching points ten miles above the earth. At least 1000 mi. lion volts is said to be required to send lightning from thunderhead a mile high.-Baltimore American.

Woods shot gun was ac cidentally discharged in some unac- countable manner and the full charge of shot hit his left wrist. His com panion was some distance away, but was attracted at once by his cries for help, and he gave him what assistance he could. The wrist was torn almost to shreds by the voliey of shot but the hand was little diigured. He was taken to the smelter where a vehicle was se- cured aRd he was conveyed to the Calumet hospital There, on examina- ton, it was found that his wrist was so sehiously injured that 1t would be

How Not to Sleep.

Don't sleep on your left side. for 1t causes too great a pressure on the heart.
 Don't sleep on your right side, for it interferes with the respiration of that lung.
 Don't sise0 on your stomach, for that interferes with the respiration of both lungs and makes breathing difficult,
 Don't sleep on your back, for this method ofsgetting rest is bad for the nervous system.
 Don't sleep sitting in a chair, for your body falls into an unnatural posi-. ton and you cannot get the necessary relaxation.
 Don't sleep standing up, for you may topple over and crack your skull.
