THIRD PROPOSED AMEND
NIENT.

The third proposed amendment Is
contained in Chapter sos of the LAVE
of Minnesota for til, year 1909.
PURPOSE. BY this amendment II Is
proposed to add an entirely new sec
ton to Article TX of the Constitution
to be known as Section IL, and "hieh
shall read follows:
Section II. The legislature may
provide for the payment by the State
or Minnesota, of damages to CROWNS
crops by hail and wind, or either anu
to provide fund for that purpose IN
Guiding the necessary expenses Oh CIV
ing effect to this act may impose a
speclhc tax upon lands, the owners VI
winch, at their opt on, have nsteu the
same with county auditors Tor lhal
purpose, and no payment shall be mace
OF any such damages except from 'he
fund so provided"
EFFECT. The enect of this Amend
ment, If adopted, will be to authorize
the State to become trustee In the
collection and disbursement OF 1uhu
for the payment of damages TO grow"
ing crops by hail wind, or erher'
This fund is to be created and MAIN
tanned by "a specific tax imposed ny the
legislature upon the lands of such per-
sons, ONLY, as shall voluntarily list the
same with their respective count! "u
ditOrs for that purpose. Under IL 'nere
could be no tax for such purpose I'M
posed on the lands of any owner VINO
does not consent thereto. The legisia-
ture is also authorized to include IN
such fund the necessary expenses Oh
administration of the law. The adop-
ton of the amendment will authorize
the legislature to direct that the TAX
ing machinery of the state be used 10
, levy and collect the tax necessary 10
raise such fund and to provide for the
disbursement of same by the officers
of the State, but any payments to be
made by the State, by reason OF dam
age by hail or wind will have to be
made from such fund and from no
other. In the settlement of any such
damages the State would assume NO
liability beyond the amount Of such
fund, and could not further be rem
dered liable. A similar amendment
was offered ut the general election OF
1908, but not adopted. The amendment
then offered read as follows:
Section II. The legislature may
provide for the payment by the State
of Minnesota of damages to growing
crops by hail and -, ind, or either, and
to provide fund for that purpose may
impose a specific tax upon lands the
owners of which, at their option. have
listed the same with county AUDITORS
for that purpose, and no payment shall
be made of any such damages except
from the fund SO provided"
The main difference between the
amendment now offered, and the one
last quoted, being that the legislature
! is now TO be authorized, in addition to
providing fund for the purpose Of
paying damages to growing crops by
hail and wind, either, to further
provide an additional tax upon the
| lands of the persons listing the
| same, to meet the necessary expenses
| incurred in the administration of the
| law and thus relieve the State there
; from. This last provision was not i'm
| Guided in the amendment offered In
| 1905.

METEoRIc DUST.
An Invisible but Constant Shower Of
Tiny Hollow Steel Balls.

Meteoric dust is composed Of minute
hollow spheres of steel that look un-
der the microscope like leaden shot.
They are infinitely finer than grains
of sand. Their origin is interesting.
l Meteors. or shooting stars as they are
generally called. have from the begin
ming of things been bombarding the
world at a rate estimated by the high
est authority at many thousands an
hour Owing to the earth's protecting
/ envelope of air very few Of these mis-
siles reach us In size meteors vary
from a few ounces to many pounds in
weight and 1t is only very occasion
ally that one is of sufficient dimensions
TO survive the passage of 80 to 100
miles through an atmosphere increas-
ing in density as the earth is ap-
preached. The speed at which they
enter the atmosphere, calculated at not
less than thirty-five miles a second,
generates such intense heat by fric-
ton that the iron Of which the meteor
principally consists is Immediately re-
duced to an incandescent vap0r, which
is the luminous train so frequently
seen in the heavens on a clear night
The vapOr rapidly cools and con-
denses in the form Of these minute
particles. which assume the spherical
form. as does shot during its fall from
the top Of a tower Finally the lit
tie spheres are scattered by the winds
and currents in the upper regions and
gradually descend in their millions as
an invisible but never ending shower.
The perfect condition in which the
spheres are found is due to the pres
ence of certain noncorrosive elements
found by analysis to be present in the
metal Of meteors which have come to
earth
These little spheres can be found in :
almost any sample of dust, particles J
