DIFFICULTIES IN THE WAY OF
RAISING REVENUE

The government needs revenues.
and needs them right away. There
are certain methods by which It Is
certain TO get them. Namely, by In
creasing the present internal revenue
d. er, and adding new ones, stamp
taxes, etc.
These are MT especially unpopu
!a1 processes of getting revenue In
ordinary circumstances. But thes,
sources will not produce enough to
make up the deficit, and so 1t is sug
geated that taxes be imposed on
coffee and tea. These are most de-
q Gedly unpopular measures. More.
over the amount Of revenue which
would be prod iced by coffee tax is
doubtful. In time, of course, Il
would bring a steady and sure in
come. But it Is considered doubtful
whether, II imposed this year 1t
would much help the depleted treas.
ury before 1911, for the reason that
tremendous amounts of coffee have
been and are being hurried into the
cot ntry in anticipation Of impos 'tio.
Of such a tax. SO the coffee tax "a
of doubtful effectiveness.
There remain the inheritance and
Etome taxe?; and these, while much
more popular than some other i'm
ports, are none the less in the same
class with the coffee duty as to un
certainty about immediate produc-
tiCn Of revenue. For each Of these
involves an uncertain legal PROPOSE
ton, and the pc sibility of an ad.
verse decision, and of the necessity
perhaps, of paying back a great sum
after it had been collected, Is not
20 be overlooked. What the govern
nent needs right now is money, not
exI ments in constitutional con-
5truction. The internal revenue,
naturally suggest themselves as the
resource on which to fall back.
This is in accordance with the
broad principle laid down by Henry
Ierter Adaml, who has shown con
'lUdNely that every nation ought to
maintain at all times the complete.
perfect, and working machinery of
a comprehensive internab revenue
system. When small amounts OF
money are needed, small taxes can
b imposed; when more money is
needed, the levidJ can be Increased
indefinitely. The point is always 70

On March II a successor to Secre-

A SOLAR ECLIPSE.
How II Can Happen, Considering the
Size Of tho Moon,

How II Can Happen, Considering the
Size Of tho Moon,
1t has been asked how total eclipse
Of the sun can possibly happen, as the
moon Is smaller than the sun.
A self luminous body, like the sun,
scatters light In all directions, and
when the rays fall upon a nonlumi-
nous body they are intercepted from
the space Immediately behind It, and q
shadow Is thrown a certain distance
In that direction. Another celestial
body, deriving also Its light from the
sun. will upon entering the area over
which this shadow Is cast be de-
prived Of its uster either wholly or In
part. This is what happens to 1.-The
earth I'm solar eclipse. The sun and
earth revolve In the same plane OF the
ecliptic, and the moon, being but slight
ly inclined to that plane, interposes
between them once In every revolu-
ton, so that II happens that they are
sometimes all three I'm the same line
When this occurs q portion Of the
moons Opaque sphere is seen project
ed upon the suns face, intercepting It.
light, proportionate with the magni-
tude OF the eclipse, which depends
upon the distances separating the CEN
ters OF the sun and moon at the mid
die Of the phenomenon. Only In cases
where these centers precisely CORE
spond can there be a total obscura-
tion.-New York American.

The Maternal System Of Descent and

TIE Maternal system OF Descent ans
Female Supremacy.
Professor Thomas, In Sex and So
ciety,' tells us that the maternal sys-
tenn OF descent is found In all parts Of
the world where social advance stands
at certain level, and the evidence
warrants the assumption that every
group which advances to a culture
state passes through this STAGE" says
the Duchess OF Marlborough I'm the
North American Review.
I'm Australia and Africa, with few
exceptions, descent was formerly reck-
oned I'm the female line; on the CONT
nent Of America, In China and Japan
traces OF this system are found, and
In parts Of India 1t is still I'm full force.
Among the American Indian tribes
and the aborigines Of Australia mis-
sionaries and ethnologists are able to
bear witness that the women were
the great power among the clans as
everywhere else.'
"As a natural consequence laws Of
rank and property follow the strictest
maternal line, and women had In some
cases the right to dismiss their hus-
bands. keeping the children to succeed
themselves and be members Of their
own clan.
"And after the establishment OF the
male system the women still held prop
erty--a survival from maternal times.
