appointment is slight. Chief special
agents will receive $3.50 to $e q day.
while assistants will receive from $3 to
~ day. The chief special agents will
be employed from six to sixteen months.
and the assistants from three to six
months. There will be no geographical
apportionment Of appointments as such,
but AZ far as possible appointees will he

ELECTION OF SENATORS ~
BY DIRECT VOTE

1t develops that the legislatures Of
thirty-one states have ado pted resolu
tons favoring the election of United
States senators by direct vote and
asking congress to call a convention for
the amendment of the constitution.
The constitution provides that when
ever two-thirds of the states demand by
petition or other action of their legis-
latures, congress shall adopt a resolu-
ton providing for a constitutional con-
vention to make such changes in the
constitution as will make that instru-
ment accord with the will of the people
With the action of the Alabama leg
islature last August the requisite two
thirds of the states had acted afflrma-
lively upon the question of direct
senatorial election. That Alabama
WAS the state numb ring the thirty Fl st,
does not appear to have dawned on
anyone until recently.
An. interesting question now is:
What will the congress do about this
most imperative mandate possible under
the existing system of governments
Talk is already afoot to the effect
that the leaders in congress, more
especially Senators Aldrich and Hale;
in the senate, and Speaker Cannon, in
tho house, will seek to ignore the
movements for constitutional conven-
ton. Everything indicates that at
least for the present, the expression of
the will of two-thirds of the states will
not reach further than the pigeonhole
of the desk of some committee chair
man.
If such a fate is meted out to q
demand of the state legislatures which
favor the election of United States
senators by direct vote, what assurance
is there that a demand of two thirds of
the state for convention to legalize an
income tax will receive any better treat
ment? This is u pertinent question
raised by some of the frlends of an in
come tax who have contended from the
ontset that the submitting Of the in
come tax question to the state legis-
the people from securing income tax
legislation.
AS if to pave the way for the block
ing of constitutional convention, the
standpatters point to the fact that
while congress is commanded to take
action in accordance with the demand
Of twO-thirds of the states, there is
absolutely no method provided by
which congress can he compelled to
obey the constitution. A technical
objection is also expected on the ground
that the resolutions passed by the state
legislatures are not uniform. There
pr ,mises to he elaborate explaining
that the action of some of the legisla-
lures did not constitute an "applica-
.tion,' but amounted only to state
nent," or declaration"
It is now being recalled that Sena
tor Owen Of Oklahoma brought to the
attention of senator's during the last
session the fact that before the next
meeting the requisite number of stat.
would have acted upon the question of
electing senators by a..direct vote to
put the maCtcr squarcly, up to congress.
He is authority for the staten mt that
both Senator'S Aldrich and Hale rebuk-
eel him for his activity and told him it
wassa question the majority would deal
with in it's own time and in its own
way .-Exchango

BABY oSTRIcHES ON A FARM.
Mother Bird Sits on the Eggs by Day
and the Father at Night.

There are many little ostriches
hatched this time of the year near Phoe-
nix. Ariz., a correspondent in that town
writes to St. Nicholas. The old birds
sit on eight to ten eggs, which are very
large, weighing from three to four
pounds each. 1t takes about six weeks
for the eggs to hatch.
Sometimes when it rains the eggs are
taken from the nest and put in large in
cubators. as the ostrich will not sit on
a wet nest. The ostriches are very diff
ferent from chickens. The mother bird,
being gray, cannot be seen in the day
time and the father, being black cannot
be seen very well at night, so the mother
sits on the nest during the day and the
father at night, which helps to hide the
nest.
The little ostricheS are about the size
of bantam hen when Matched and are
very delicate. If they get wet they die.
When first Matched they are not fed
very much for a week. Later they get
all the alfalfa grass and broken bones
they want.
They grow very fast. and when six
months old they are six feet high. and
their pretty feathers are then cut from
their wings. They are full grown when
one year old, but do not lay eggs until
three or four years old.

GRANDEES TO FRONT.
They Are Enlisting in the Spanish Army
to Fight the Swarthy
MoorS

One of the latest recruits of the Span
ish army is the Empress EugenieS grand
nephew, Don fernando, who has her
fathers title of Count del Montijo. He
is also the fifteenth Duke of Penarando
One of the best polo players in Spain, the
young man has enlisted as private in
the Barbastro infantry regiment of the
line for service against the Moors at
Melilla, where the commanding general
now has an army of 10000 men under
his orders
He is the only brother and heir of the
Duke of Alba, and in thus joining the
colors is following the example of scores
of other scions of the oldest nobility of
the kingdom. Among the grandees thus
serving in the ranks of the various line
battalions, either already at the seat OF
war or now on their way to the front
is the Duke Vivona, who represents the
Jaca i'll the cortes, but has left his con
stituents in the lurch to fight for his
country.
There is also the Count Berberena,
Don Gregori la Granja, Don Jaime
Quiroga y Pardo Bazan, and the Duke
of Medina-Rio-Seco The duchess. one
of the most beautiful women in Spain,
is also at Melilla acting as a nurse in
the military hospital, and when not oc-
cupied in tending the wounded is en-
gagged i'll writing letters for them to
their families. Der husband already
has been promoted TO the rank of cor
poral for conspicuous gallantry under
fire.
All these young grandees are fulfill
ing their duties like other enlisted men
in the ranks, without receiving or ac-
cepting any privileges with the exception
that their uniforms have embroidered on
them in silk the oddly shaped cross of
the ancient and historic order OF Gala
trava. to which most of them belong,
and admission to which calls for any
amount of blue blood and ancestral quail
fications
They are obliged by the rules of this
order to wear it's cross embroidered on
their breasts whenever they are in uni
form, and as they are a military order,
the war department naturally places no
obstacle in their way in this matter. The
King is the. grandmother of the order,
December 20. 1177.
The Count Del Montijo, whose father.
the Duke of Alba, died suddenly in New
York in 1901 while over here to attend
the America cup races, is not the only
one of Empress Eugenie's grand nephews
to have left for the seat of war. Another
is the Young Marquis de Campollano,
who is a lieutenant of cavalry and mill
tary attache of the Spanish embassy in
London. He is the son of the Duke and
Duchess of Tamanes. The duchess is
the only sister of the late Duke of
Alba, and therefore niece Of the Em4
press, while the Duke of Tamanes, who
has for years held high office at the court
of Madrid, will be remembered as the
principal grandee of the mission of the
Infanta Eulalie to the United States on
the occasion of the Columbian ceebra-
ton. Three royal princes, namely, Phil
ip, Renier and Gennaro of Bourbon, also
have left for the front

An Epoch Making Invention?

The report from Pittsburg of the in-
veution jointly by RearAdmiral Mel.
vile. formerly engineer-in-chief of the
United States navy. George Westing-
house. Jr., and another mechanical en-
gineer. named j. H. MacAlpin. of a re-
duction gear marine turbine which
promises to revolutionize the power
plants of merchant steamers and war
ships, will cause marine engineers the
world over to look toward the Westing-
house shops with intense interest. There
is i'll it promise of an early solution of
the problem which has been puzzling en-
gineers since the modern turbine engine
was invented This problem deals with
the economies of propulsion with en-
gines which revolve shafts at a rate so
rapid that the screw wheels produce
what is styled cavitation and thus fail
to secure the necessary grip on the
water for the full utilization of the
tremendous rotary speed.
One of the compromises with this loss.
and with that which attends the direct
application of the turbine engines at
commercial speeds, is combination
plant, embracing turbines for high
speeds and reciprocating engines for me-
dunn and low speeds, the same steam OPP
Grating the engines of both types This
has been tried with gratifying success.
Another proposed remedy is the driving
of lynamos with the turbine engines,
and the utilization of electricity thus
developed for the rotation of the screws.
Nc experiment has Yet been made in
this direction.
The contrivance whose invention is re-
ported from Pittsburg is gearing that
will permit the turbines to go at full
speed and thus secure every ounce of
energy from the steam, and operate the
screw shafts through a reduction process
that will enable the engineer TO estab-
llsh the utmost economy in the appli-
cation of that energy. In other words.
the turbines can be reyolyed at a rate
that would be too great for the screw
shafts, and the power thus derived can
be utilized by the reduction gear to the
fullest extent of the screws ability to
/ grip the water at high speed. As in in
| Dictated by the Pittsburg dispatch this
plan would permit of the use of rela.
! lively smaller turbine than that which
| is now used for the development of high
speeds. with a proportionate reduction
in the space occupied by the machinery.
| and in the weight thereof. There has been
saving in space with the turbine as
| il is at present utilized, and some say.
| ing in weight; so the Improvement will
be of additional value in the matter of
vacating space for cargo purposes.
The distinguished character of the on.
| gineers who have been working out this
| problem viii make the engineering world
receptive as to the reported invention,
aud the details of the reduction gear
I turbine viii be awaited as an epoch
marking announcement.

FISH WITH GooGoo EYES.
Same Being About the Size of Locomo-
tive Headlights.

Capt. Ross of the Standard Oil COM
panys steamer Dakotah, which arrived
here yesterday from Manila, enjoyed a
brief but soul-stirring Irritation July IL
with strange fish. On the Dakotah's
log the tinny firt is described as being
40 feet long and 10 feet wide, with a
cavernous mouth and very large eyes.
Capt. Ross was on the bridge when
his mate called attention to what he
thought was a whale ON the port bow.
When within about a hundred feet of
the monster they saw that while very
like whale at a distance an intimate
view showed no resem blance.
"Ae we came along" said Capt Ross.
"the creature turned its head toward
the ship. 1t was the fercest face |
ever saw. The mouth was like the en-
trance to railroad tunnel and the eyes
big as locomotive headlights. For all
kind look in them.
1--WE watched the brute intently. Just
as we came almost alongside he gave
those eyes a regular googoo roll and
sank out of sight. A whale would have
gone down head first and waved good
bye with his tail. We never saw this
fellows tail. and whether he said good
bye or come along, boys with his eyes
is more than | can tell. I've been to sea
for many years, but never saw another
fish like that one"
As proof that the fish was all he de-
scribes, Capt. Ross points to the log,
which says the encounter took place in
latitude 40 degrees 80 minutes north,
longitude 152 degrees west.-San Fran

ANOTHER IDOL GONE.
Now Claimed civilian Tell" Story Was
but a Fake.

Scientific historians are tearing down
many of the interesting and wonderful
stories that have come down from gen
GRAFTON TO generation, with never a sus-
picion that they were NOT the true nara
tive of actual events, says the Utica
Press. They come now with a state
ment that the story of William Tells ia
nous shot at the apple on his sons head
with bow and arrow, is fake. They
claim that no such man as William Tell
was in any way connected with the
founding of the Swiss confederation. aud
that his name cannot be found today in
any of the archives of the eantons.
1t was a thrilling story and had a long
run before the wise Investigators of the
preSent age got after it,
