Nominating . President.

Until tue constitutional amendment
OF lSOa the president and the vice pres
tdent were voted for OH the same bal
lot, the man with the. second highest
number Of votes becoming vice presi-
dent. The presidential electors have
not always been chosen by popular
vote
Before 1900 1t was the general Gus
tom for the state legislatures to choose
the electors. and 1t was not until 1928
that presidential electors were chosen
In nearly all the states by popular vote
As late as 1876 the Colorado legislature
chose the three presidential electors to
represent that state There is nothing
In the constitution to prevent any state
legislature naming Its own electors
without appeal to tle people provided
such Il method Of election is prescribed
by the state laws
From 1850 to 1924 presidential can.
didates were cls,scn by the members
OF congress In caucus. In 1924 the
electoral college failed to make u choice
from the candidates SO submitted. and
the matter went to the house of repro
senta'ivcs. F"nr years later Tenncs-
sees legislature nominated Andrew
Jackson without any reference TO the
congressional caucus. His opponent,
John Quincy ADAMS was Nominated In
the old way. but TINT vas the end Of
presidential nominations by congress.

Why lie Did the vYashina,


A man came up out OF one Of the
little roof houses across from the wo-
mans window with big basket Of
clothes. He was followed by two
small boys. carrying more clothes and
clothespins. The man put the basket
Of clothes down and began to sort
them out preparatory to hanging them
on the line. The boys helped, handing
him the clothcspins and some small
pieces. one Mt time. They were a
long while hanging out the clothes be-
cause Of their awkwardness. It was
evidently work they were unaccustomed

boys went down into the little roof
house. leaving the man on the roof.
He stood for moment looking Mt the
clothes. then. going over to a parapet.

bUO Oess0sD s~SsV ~ ~ss~ v"~''.
When the nineteenth century was ~
yet only half grown, senators applied
customarily for their toddies at the 30
called Hole in the Wall, small circu-
lar room just OF the postoffice of the
upper house. The latter body then
occupied what is now the chamber Of
the supreme court. and the postoffice
was across the main corridor of the
building on the same floor. When a
wearer of the toga found himself in
need Of a ''snifter" he had only to
cross over to the mails department
and pass through 1t to the little cir
cular room aforesaid, which was about
the size of pantry. The Hole in the
Wall was the first senate restaurant,
and the bill of fare for edibles was
short. though to the point. There was
ham, guaranteed to have been smoked
for six months, veritable sublimation
Of the pork product there were corned
beef and bread and cheese. but very
little else. They served. however. as
an accompaniment for the fluids. and
when the Hole was crowded. as was
often the case. senators ate their sand
wiches outside, in the postofiice. -

A Royal Snake sI.uehtsrsr.

The 'secrctary bird" is one OF the
most precious birds In South Africa.
II is royal game. and any person de-
stroying one is liable to a fine OF ESQ.
Majestic looking birds. they stand
about three feet high and generally go
in pairs. They arc OF drab color. with
black. feathery legs. and are valued
for their propensity for killing snakes.
Where the secretary bird is seen there
are sure to be many reptiles about.
The bird beats down Its adversary
first with one wing and then with the
other. at the same time trampling on
1t with its feet until the snake is sufii-
ciently stunned to catch 1t by the
head with its claws. Then the bird
rises far up in the air and drops its
victim to the ground, to be killed. BY
this. means thousands Of venomous
reptiles are destroyed.-London Scraps.

Tho Aurora eoreaIis.

The aurora borealis, or northern
light, is something that we have all
heard about. but very few, perhaps.
can give any explanation Of it. No
one definitely knows what causes 1t,
but the scientists are pretty well
agreed that 1t is due to electricity.
They believe that the light is made by
the decomposition Of the positive and
negative electricity always In the up
per and lower strata Of air. respec-
lively. NJ. I-enstrom made an inter-
esting experiment In Finland in 1882.
his object being to determine the ma
ture of the aurora. He had the peak
Of n mountain surrounded by cop
per wire. pointed at intervals with
tin nibs. When he had charged the
wire with electricity a yellow light
appeared on the tin tips. and an ex-
animation of the light by the spec
troscope revealed the greenish yellow
ray that is a marked feature of the
aurora. This evidence among SCI
eutists is almost convincing. for 1t
