Washington, March t9Joseph
Gurney Cannon is still speaker of the
house OF representatives but he lost
today the ancient prestige and
weapons of that office when the al
lied Republican insurgents and
Democrats took from him, not only
the chairman OF, but even his own
membership In the ali-powerful com
! mittee on rules, the chief asset Of
his stock In power.
Amid scenes of widest disorder,
for the like OF which one must go
back 40 the exciting days just prior
to the civil war--perhaps even these
days and times might not duplicate it
the veteran speaker, almost a
years old, stood erect, defiant, his
head "bloodied but unbowed" And
at the end when, as a big Democrat
accepted the speakers daring chal-
1enge, introduced resolution to
\ fling him out of the speakership, the
Republicans, regulars and insurgents,
with few exceptions, rallied with an
almost unbroken party front and gave
him a vote which almost Offset the
] 'repudation of Cannonism."
How They Proceeded.
This is what happened: BY a
vote of 191 to 1856, the Republican
insurgents voting solidly with the
Democrats, the house adopted the
resolution of Representative Norris,
Republican, of Nebraska, requiring
the reorganization of the rules com
mittee, increasing its membership
from five to ten and declaring the
speaker ineligible to membership

A Unique Experiment

IF needle is showed into cork until just the
tip end shows on the opposite side and the
needle is then broken off SO that the upper end
is flush with or hidden under the top surface on
the cork, interesting thing may be shown,
known as the increase of pressures. If this
cork be now placed needle point down on a cop
per cent or other small coin. light blow top
of the cork with hammer will drive the needle
through the copper. The explanation is as fol-
lows:
Everything has its limits of resistance, and we
may define this in terms to the square inch that
will overcome it. Take a ten-pound weight and
place it on surface of two square inches; the
pressure is evidently five pounds to the square
inch Now take away one of the square inches,
and there is just evidently a pressure of ten
pounds to the square inch. Decrease this sur
face to the dimensions of needle point and put
a five pound blow on the needle head; the
pressure to the square inch at the point is ire
mendous. So of course it can be forced through
almost anything, provided the needle is kept
from breaking. For this purpose the cork is
