cessfully for several years between the
government and the Truckee Electric
company for the use of the storage
waters in Lake Tahoe for irrigating
the Truckee-Carson irrigation project

Berkeley, Cal, July 30.-Following
a series of exhaustive experiments
with the California flea, Professor c.
w. Woodworth, of the University of
California, announced today that al
though the insect has eyes, it does not
see. To be more exact, the professor
stated that the flea does not see mate
rial objects. "There is no formation
of images on the retina of the eye of a
flea," said Professor Woodworth, "all
the insect sees when it approaches a
solid object, is varying intensity of
light rays."

MAKES NEW RECORD.
Orville Wright Remains in Air fer
More Than an Hour.

OrvlIe Wright Remains in Air fer
More Than an Hour.
Washington, July 28.-The world s
aeroplane record for two men, both as
to time and distance, was broken last
evening in beautiful flight Of hour,
IL minutes and 40 seconds-upward of
so miles, and at speed averaging 40
miles an hour, by Orvile Wright at
Fort Myer, with Lieutenant Frank P.
Lahm, of the army signal corps, as a
passenger.
The former record was made last
year by his brother, Wilbur, at Lee
mans, France, with Professor Paintov,
of the French institute, as passenger.
That flight was hour, 9 minutes and
81 seconds. Wilbur was an eager
spectator of yesterdays flight.
The cheering that heralded the set
ting of new mark in the conquest of
the air was led by President Taft, who
was an intensely interested spectator
throughout the flight. This success
was all important to the Wrights, in
that it completed the first Of two cru
ical tests of their machine imposed
upon them by the United States gov
ernment - the so-called "endurance
test" which required them to remain
one hour continuously in the air with
one passenger. Orville did nearly l3
minutes better than that, and could
have kept on indefnitely-three hours
and a half, the limit imposed by the
gasoline capacity of the supply tank.

Two Men Marked.

Washington, July 30.-Gifford Pinch
OF, chief Of the Forestry service, and
F. H. Newell, director of the Reclama-
tion service, are equally aware that
Secretary Ballinger is anxious to force
them out of the Federal service, or at
least reduce them from their present
positions of power to places less i'm
portant and less influential. But they
are assuming different attitudes toward
the secretary of the interior. Mr..
Pinchot has donned his warpaint and
feathers and intends to fight; Newell
has assumed passive attitude and will
await decision by the president, who
is the final arbiter.

night adopted the conference report on
the tariff bill, 1875 to 1873. Twenty
Republicans voted against the report
and two Democrats for it.
Payne appealed to his Republican
colleagues to stand by the bill, saying
that if they wanted to drive their
party into chaos they would vote
against it. But he said it would be a
delusion to vote against the bill upon
the idea that the Dingley rates would
be continued.

have taken off unnecessary duties, :"

produce $26, O00,000 and tobacco $9,-

will do the same for another IL years."

deficiency appropriation bill,
including $25, 900 for the presidents
