Assistant Attorney Genel al

CHIEF BURKE TO ENFORCE
sssc.ai TO the EVENING NEWS

"
Trenton, Sept. 13:-After confer
ence today with Governor Fort, Assist
ant Attorney General Nelson B. Gas
kill rendered an opinion that all the sa-
looms in the state must close tomorrow
on account of the special election on
the constitutional amendments, or be
liable for prosecution for violation of
the law, which prohibits the sale of
liquor on days of special elections, as
well as on regular election days and
shows that the crimes act makes it a
misdemeanor to sell liquor on any cleo
tion day, whether special or general.
The opinion shows further that the
election law prohibits the sale of
'fliquor on any election day" and
makes it the duty of sheriffs and other
officers to arrest without warrant those
found violating the law.
Chief Burke said today that all of
the saloons must remain closed from 6
clock in the morning until o clock
tomorrow night, and that any who Vio-
Iates the order will be arrested.

ANATOMY.
A More or Less Helpful Lesson For
Beginners.

Beginners.
Proceeding in a southerly direction
from the torso. we have the hips, use
full for padding, and the legs. The
legs hold up the body and are some
times used in walking. but when rid
ing in automobiles they take up valu-
able space which otherwise might be
employed to better advantage.
Attached to the legs are the feet
Some varieties Of feet are cold. Some
people are born with cold feet, others
acquire cold feet, and still others have
cold feet thrust upon them.
The surface Of the body is covered
with cuticie, which either hangs in
graceful loops or is stretched tightly
from bone to bone.
On the face it is known as complex
ion and is used extensively for COM
mercial purposes by dermatologists,
painters and decorators.
Between tie cuticle and the bones
are the muscles. which hold the bones
together and prevent them from fall
ing out and littering up the sidewalk
as we walk along.
Packed neatly and yet compactly in
side the body are the heart, the liver
and the lungs; also the gall which in
Americans is abnormally large.
These organs are used occasionally
by the people who own them, but
their real purpose is to furnish sur.
geons a living.-Thomas l.. Mason in
Lippincott's.

Moonliaht.

Many readers may not be aware Of
the fact that the full moon gives sew
eral times more than twice the light
OF the half moon. They may be still
more surprised to learn that the ratio
is approximately as nine to one. Pro-
fessor Joel Stebbins and f. G. Brown,
taking advantage Of the extreme sensi-
tiveness to light Of a selenium cell,
measured the amount of light coming
from the moon at different phases with
the result above mentioned. The rea-
son for the remarkable difference
shown is to be found In the varying
angles Of reflection presented by the
foughened surface Of our satellite to
the sun. The moon is brighter between
first quarter and full than between
full and last quarter. The cause Of
this is evident in the more highly re-
Elective character Of that part of the
moon which lies west of its meridian.

AN EXPENSIVE PET.
Is the City Justified In Paying Such
Enormous Board and keep2

Every citizen of New York and par
ticularly every direct taxpayer should
read most carefully the speeches Of
William III. WINS and Edgar ]. Levey
OH the expenditures of the city Of
New York. If after perusing those
speeches he has any doubt that the
question of setting our house In order
is urgent, then 1t is difficult to see
what can convince him outside of the
actual suspension Of payment by the
municipal treasury.
it has taken us ten years to find out
how little we know about running a
city. But yet, short as the time is,
the result has been reached gradually.
We have passed from one unwarrant-
able expenditure to another until we
have placed ourselves In position
where there is practically no demand
which we can logically refuse. AS
Mr.. Levey pointed out, the loss on
the Staten Island ferry annually is
$750,000, and this is almost exactly
the taxation paid by Staten Island to-
ward the administration Of the city.
lighting, water, roads and administra-
ton generally for nothing and is in a
position to make a demand for q free
ferry on the theory that anybody can
walk over the Brooklyn bridge for
nothing.
1t takes fifty-four men to run one
Of the Staten Island ferryboats for
twenty-four hours against eighteen
men on a Lackawanna or a Pennsyl-
vania boat. We simply cannot afford
1t. We are taxed up to the limit AS
Mr.. Levey says, manufacturers are
moving out beyond the city limits be-
cause OF taxation. Ultimately rents
will come down In consequence. Large
districts will deteriorate and their tax
able value will be lowered.
Our enormous expenditure and our
enormous debt, presumably contracted
to help the city, is hurting 1t. We are
doing much which individual effort
and pride should do a great deal bet
ter, and incidentally we are sapping
the self reliance Of our people in a
way that would cause our grandfathers
to turn IN their graves.-Wall Street

It is in Paris that the whisker
reaches its highest state of civilization
and development. The luxuriant YER
dure on the faces of some Of the Pari-

every day can be compared to nothing
but the riot of vegetation in the trop-

The Parisians spend hours on their
boards and educate them into formal
gardens, set pieces, shrubbery, terrace
and vista effects. They lay out hair
scapes with them, arrange them in I'M
dulating meadows and Irvine them on
pergolas. There is the long, spade con-
cOction much sought by men with
black boards, which consists of about
a foot Of hair cut square across the
bottom and adds much glory to the
wearer, for the whiskers always shine
and glisten in the sun. There are side
winders and pointed ones, the heart
shaped and the curved, the waved and

whiskers to grow in new way is as
much of celebrity as a man who

An American Scholars Work.

1t should be humiliating for English
men to reflect that 1t was left to an
American, Francis James Child, to
compile the five thick volumes of eng
lish and Scottish Popular Ballads"
which are familiar and invaluable to
all students of this subject. But self
reproach is forgotten in admiration Of
his work. Child himself unfortunately
did not live to finish his task. How
ever, he was more than a scholar and
an editor. He was the founder of a
school and he had the gift Of being
able to transmit to others both his
learning and his zeal.-London Satur-

FLOATING IN THE AIR.
The Impression on Ascending In a
Free Balloon.

Free Balloon.
One of the first questions which am
usually asked by persons seeking in
formation about balloons Is, "What is
the sensation of going up in balloon?"
writes Captain G. DEF. Chandler, u.
S. A. | will anticipate this same in
quiry of the readers of this article and
state for their information that in
free balloon | have not noticed any pc
culiar physical sensation which can be
described. 1t would be like trying to
describe standing still as a sensation.
The impression on ascending in free
balloon is more an optical illusion. The
ascent is so slow and gentle that II
cannot be felt, and one has the impress
sion that the balloon is motionless and
the earth gradually dropping away. All
the noises and shouts of the people be-
come fainter and die out. AS the alti-
tude increases hills and valleys are not
apparent, and the earth seems fiat, like
beautiful colored map, showing cul-
tivated fields, forests, etc.
The greater part Of the time a bal
loon is moving either up or down, but
the motion is not apparent, and it re-
quires a statoscope to indicate whether
the balloon is ascending or descending
II considerable change of altitude is
made in short time, the difference in
air pressure may be felt on the ear

A Return to Contract Labor.

The Leeds corporation at its meet.
ing on Dec. 2, 1908, decided to abolish
the works department which was set
up in 1906 and wherever practicable to
revert to the course Of letting by con-
tract the work Of the corporation. The
mover of the resolution said that his
experience was that work done by d.
rect labor was not carefully thought
out in every detail before 1t was com
menced and that 1t had led in every
case to much unnecessary expenditure.
1t was an interference with private
trading and was a Socialist measure
and to abolish 1t would be in the best
interests of the ratepayers and citi-
zens generally. the traders and the bet
ter class Of WORCESTERSHIRE Post.

The London Water Board Has Too
Many Employees and a Big Deficit
Besides.
At recent meeting Of the metro
politan water board Of London, re-
ported in the London Morning Post,
It was stated that the anticipated def.
lett for the current financial yea.
would be nearly 100000. One Of the
members, Mr.. Musgrave, gave some
figures which are very interesting in
this connection. He stated that five
years ago, when the water was being
supplied by several private companies,
their employees numbered only 5S1.
Now, in spite Of the consolidation un-
der the municipal authorities, their
employees number 1902. In other
words, 1t takes 81 per cent more mu-
nicipal employees to do the same work
that was done by the private employ
ees, for there has been almost no in
crease In the amount Of water sup
piled. In fact, the larger number Of
employees under the board are actual
ly accomplishing less, because the
board pays the Bank Of England more
than 100000 a year to handle some
financial matters which under private
management were taken care Of by
the companies employees.
