There is a material reduction in
building materials of almost all varie-

most sweeping cut is on iron, steel and
other metal products, which amounts
IN most cases to so per cent. This is
one reduction that cannot be greatly
affected by the reciprocity clause.
Sugar is reduced four one-hundredths

food products are cut, some of them
materially. Wool is left practically un-
affected, except carpet wool and top
waste, which are slightly reduced.

NEW ASTRAL LAW.

Boston House Painter Thinks 1t Will
Revolutionize Chronological System.
Robert J. Hodge, a house painter of
Franklin Park, Boston, has invented
an astral calculator based on what he
claims as his discovery of new astral
law, which he believes will revolution
ize the worlds chronological system.
According to his theories, the season
changes are not caused by the earth's
revolution around the sun, but rather
by yearly revolution Of the sun in an
orbit apart from the earth and by a
balance motion Of the earth on its
equatorial axis.
Hodge has travelled across the Unit
ed States, taking observations to veri-
fy his theory. Under this calendar
year would consist of exactly 364 days,
with each fourth month, beginning
with March. consisting of exactly thir-
ty-one days, the other eight months of
thirty days. He has worked out new

The Payne Tariff Bill Reviewed
Measure Provides
Popularity Of the
Is Embodied In the
Federal Tax on

ample. The peculiarity Of tho reciproc-
Ity idea embodied in the proposed law
Is this-that, whereas other nations Of
fer minimum tariff as an inducement
to reciprocity arrangements, we threat
en- maximum tariff as retaliation.
1t is the difference between peace and
war. Another popularity is that no
discretion is left in the hands Of the
president. Tho maximum rates 90 au-
tomaticalIy into effect against those
nations that do not favor US. A third
peculiarity is that partial reciprocity,
Or reciprocity on few articles, is pre-
cluded. Foreign nations must aive US
The benefit on all items If they would
avoid the club of our maximum tariff.
Now, it is not hard to see what the
practical effect Of all this will be. As
the bill repeaIs present reciprocity pro-
visions, tariff war with nearly all the
nations of continental Europe will prob
ably ensue, and during that war the
maximum tariff, which on many sched-
ules is actually higher than the Dingley
act, will be in effect.
A second modification of tho appar-
ent reductions in the Payne bill will
arise from the provision that in certain
cases the basis Of value on articles
taxed by the ad vaIorem method shall
be the wholesale price Of that article
in the United States. Now, in nearly
all cases the American price is much
higher than the foreign price, which is
the basis of value now employed. The
effect of this rise in valuation will be
to nullify cuts in schedules, just as
higher assessment on real or personal
property may be made to nuIify a re-
ductlon in rates of taxation. All tax
payers are familiar with this principle.
The main reason for the revision of
the tariff at this time, aside from the
pressure Of public opinion, is that the
present law does not produce sufficient
revenue. Under the new act it is esti-
mated there will be an increase of near
fy $50,O0o,000 annually in receipts. Part
OF this will come from the proposed tax
on inheritances, but most of it from
the customs. If the hopes of the meas
ure as revenue producer are disap-
pointed, there is provision for tho
Issuance of treasury certificates to re-
iieve tho strain. 1t is also provided to
create $40,000,000 worth Of Panama
bonds to cover the purchase price of
the canal.

Tie curious pitchers of balloon are
not satisfied with that now ancient
spit ball, as was proved by Billy Camp
bell now with the Cincinnati Nation
ais, who has invented a new wrinkle
called the ''Salome twist" Campbell
kept his mouth closed about his new
curve until he went to Atlanta recent
~. Not long ago he surprised Bunny
Pearce by flinging it over the platter
Bunny got nervous as he saw this new
crumple slowly singing through the
air. The ball jumped and twisted
around until poor Pearce's knees
cracked one another. ''Talk about
your wild and woolly twists" says the
backstopper-''this stunt of Campbell's s
has 'em all beaten a block
The ball appears to be coming easy

MACHINE TO DISPERSE FOGS.
Frenchman Uses Hertzian Waves and
Four Huge Blowpipes.


M. Dibos, French engineer, has
been conducting a series Of expert
ments on the English channel which
have given rise to the hope that New
York harbor may ultimately be kept
free of fog. Attracted by the English
experiments for dissipating fog by
means of electrical discharges, NJ. Di-
bos conceived the idea of a combina-
tion Of Hertzian waves.
Beneath a powerful Hertzian plant
which emits waves Of 10000 volts he
placed four huge blowpipes directed to
the four points Of the compass. Simul-
taneously with the discharge of the
Hertzian waves the blowpipes, each
giving a temperature Of 1000 degrees
c., were lighted. In from twenty to
thirty minutes a thick fog was dis
PEELED over a zone of 200 yards En-
couraged by this success, the expert
ments will be continued.
