Senator Dillingham's discovery that
one tenth OF the United States Senate
are either descendants of Nermonters or
were born in Vermont, is worthy OF
note. As Vermont is one of Il states,
the fact is in her favor as ~ is to 10,
or more than four times her proportion
numerically. Add to this the fact that
both the new President and Vice Presi
dent are grapdsons of Vermont and
Nermont's contribution to dominating
influences in the national government
becomes still more emphatic.--Burling

The composltor seats himself at

forty-seycn Mana characters. As
he receives copy he cuts it into
small strips. handing each strip to a
boy. This boy marches along the
room until he has finally been able
10 collect from a number OF cases
arranged in files down the room the
different ideographs desired. About
six or seven boys are thus employed
in the average japanese composing

As they 20 their rounds in search
Of the autographs they keep up s
dirgelike chant. which would Ger.
tainly be very trying to the neryc-
Of any but an oriental.
When the boys have collected all
their ideographs they place them
before the composition. who then
has recourse to a pair Of goggles in
order to 'ecipher the characters,
fish ont the corresponding types in
the Kana character and finally set
up the whole for proving. The
proofs are sung aloud BY one reader

fusion Of weird sounds already
