The feature OF the brief debate
on the rule was the batting OF

Clark, pressed by Democratic de-
mands. for protection on hides and
other raw material, squirmed and
growled at this irony. When he
spoke he hastened to point ont that
a motion TO recommit had been n
feature OF every tariff fight, and
he would follow precedent but with
no thanks TO Fitzgerald.
When Clark tried 1t on the rule,
however, II developed that the Fitz-
geralds are no such guardians OF
our liberties as they We're cracked
up to be. Dalzell pointed at, and
Speaker Cannon ruled accordingly
that representatives from the rules
committee are in a class by them
selves, not reached by the Fitzger-
aid amendments. therwise tine de-
bate followed traditional lines.
Clark abused the rule and Dalzell
quoted Crisp to show that Demo

thing. Clark declared that votes

Serene Payne taunted the Demo-

DRILLS In
VENTILATION
Given to the Janitors by
Superintendent Wilson
A MINIATURE BUILDING
Has Been Constructed to Af-
ford a Demonstration.
Mr.. Wilson Believes the Conditions
will be Improved Because Of His
Instructions

Lessons. in school room ventila-
tion are being given the janitors
of the city school buildings by p.
S. Wilson, superintendent OF build
ings and grounds, and by means OF
this innovation It is safe to say
that the rooms in the school build
ings will in the future be kept we'll
ventilated. Mr. Wilson has by his
own effort prepared miniature
school building by means of which
the proper ventilating system Is
fully demonstrated
Some time ago much complaint
was made to members of the board
of education by school patrons, who
claimed that the air In the school
rooms was foul, and UNFIT for the
children to breathe. An investlga-
ton was conducted and Mr.. Wilson
was charged to look after the mat
ter and, after giving the janitors
instructions in some cases, the Or
ders were disobeyed and pure care
lessness shown, it is said. Mr..
Wilson now thinks he has caught
the secret OF the matter and has in
terested the ianltors with his prao
tical exhibition of well ventilated
school building. The rise and fall
OF hot and cool air and the need OF
draught which will not harm the
school children, is all explained in
the simple demonstration which he
has arranged.
Mr., Wilson thinks that there is
very little reason for school patrons
to complain of foul air in the
schools here at present since neve..
were the janitors better trained for
this work in the history Of the
schools. An effort will be made TO
keep the janitors posted on this
matter and by this means all trou-
bile will be avoided, for seemingly

An industry that is little considered
but of growing importance is the cul-
ture of the microscopic vegetation
known as microbes. The we'll chosen
and prepared cultures serve for regulat

desired bouquet to wine, and the use
of the right spore culture in cheese

fort or other variety shall be produced.
The new idea of J. Crolbois, a French
experimenter, is to preserve silo fodder
by means of culture of tactic ferments.
In the silo, under a protective covering
of straw, the fodder undergoes an acid
fermentation that makes it readily
dgestible and gives it taste agreeable
to cattle, but the process is irregular
and uncertain, and much fodder is often
of poor quality. In the North of France
the fodder used consists largely of the
pulpy residue from sugar beets, of which
many thousand tons are kept for the
winter fattening Of cattle. In pre-
liminary trial, M. Crolbois treated 100
kilogrammes of residue with 6 liters of
beet-root Juice rich in ferments, and the
pulp was completely transformed in 48
hours, the usual necessity for pressing
being avoided. Applied on large scale
at an agricultural station, the process
yielded material which fattened the
cattle as much IN three weeks as they
ordinarily gained in month. The new
fodder, unlike the old silo pulp, is
eaten also by sheep.

Refined Torture

The infiction of what is commonly
called the third degree" is reported
to have been successful in elicting a
confession in one of the latest murder
cases in New York There will there
fore be expressions of satisfaction at
the prompt determination of murderer
and the probable avoidance of a tedious
and costly trial. There are, however,
those who will wish to have it carefully
considered to what extent this police
process resembles torture. In olden
times it was common practice to extort
confessions by means of excrucating
torments. That is forbidden in civilized
countries to-day. Yet according to
the accounts given by those who prac-
tice it, this third degree" is in many
cases as agonizing as the rack or iron
boot. The practice is regarded by some
as in fact compelling men to testify
against themselves, which is repugnant
to our system of Jurisprudence; nor
does it matter whether the self-inculpat-
ing testimony is secured under threats,
under torture or through trickery. In
theory, then, the third degree" bust
ness seems to be indefensible. In
practice its results may now and then
be gratifying, if desirable result is
gratifying when attained through I'm
desirable means; but it is obviously
susceptible OF abuse in an exceptional
and peculiar dergee. -Atchison Globe.
