LEGISLATORS AT HOME.
Have Completed About One Fourth
of Work Before Them Pass
Bill for Teacher Training.

Resting at home without pay are
| the members of the Vermont legis-
lature ready for the Thanksgiving
dinner tomorrow. But they will
get back to Montpelier next Monday
and Tuesday ready to resume work
again. That they have much work
still to do is shown by statement
made to the house by Speaker Howe.
on Thursday. He said: there had
been 474 bills introduced and LA
had been reported from committees.
There still remained number of
bills in the hands of the revision
committed and many more would be
introduced through committees, so
that the work was about one-fourth
disposed Of although the Legisla-
ture had entered on the seventh
week of the session. The bills in
the hands of the committees were
distributed thus:
Agriculture, 13; appropriations,
16; banks 5; claims 5; conserva-
ton. 4 corporations IT; education
IL; elections 8; fish and game SO;
general %; grand list 10; highways
and bridges II; immigration and
industrial s.; Industrial school L;
insurance 3 internal affairs Z; ju-
dietary 81; land tax 2; library 4
manufacturers L military affairs 2;
municipal courts 8; municipal cor
porations II; public health 8;
railroads IL; state and court ex-
penses 8; street railways 5; state
schools 2; temperance 15; town
lines 8; ways and means 10; total
30
1t is a fact that this has been an
exceptionally hard working house.
There are "a to 27 committee meet
ings every day, whereas in previous
sessions the number of meetings has
never been as large, and the meet
ings are neld earlier in the morning
than before except in some unusual
instances.
There were two warm fights in
senate the last afternoon it was in
session. The first was over Sen.
Powell's bill to exempt new hotels
fom taxation and he freely admitted
that it was intended to benefit him
in his building new hotel in Bur-
lington. The senate killed the bill
by vote of IA to 13 and then in
the afternoon recOnsidered its vote
and will not pass upon it finally un-
I'll dIC0T Tie recess
The other fight was over the bill
sent in from the house which estab-
fishes training courses for teachers
in high schools and academies This
is considered dangerous to the inter
ests of the normal schools and nor
NAL school men had done their best
to have the bill killed. The bill was
amended to make the certificates
granted good for three instead of
five years and then the senate re-
fused to amend it further and also
refused to let it lie until after recess.
The rules were suspended, the bill
ordered to third reading, and pass
ed. The senate also passed the bill
establishing an agricultural school
at the Randolph Normal school and
it is understood a bill is already
drawn ito establish a state central
normal school.
The house after warm fight on
Wednesday last refused to pass the
bill making the terms of Office of
selectmen and listers one year in
stead of three as at present..
The legislature has also passed
the weights and measures bill but
there are some amendments made
by the house that require further
attention hV the senate

The Automobile Built on the Only System
That Makes for Success.

Look carefully over the best
practice in automobile con-
struction. Study the really
great ideas that have proved
their right to live.

many of those ideas should

"A. B."-Apperson Brothers.
Since they put the first Ameri-
can made Car on the market
seventeen years ago-they
have evolved-tested-and
employ those methods which
have marked the most notable
steps in automobile progress.
Don't think that it was mere
luck which made the fifty diff
ferent Apperson models rec
ognized leaders, one year
after another. 1t goes deeper
than that.
The alacrity with which Apper-
son ideas have been adopted
fully warrants the most broad
claim for Apperson leader

Apperson Brothers originated
and own the patents covering
the double, independent sys-
tenn of ignition, or any man.
ner of using more than one
spark plug to cylinder.
They were right on the T-head
engine question and made
long strides ahead with that
type of motor while other de-
signers were still in doubt.

METEOR PATHS.
Why They Seem to Change Direc-
ton and Pace.

Translation in the Literary Digest
Why Is it that the points in the sky
from which shooting stars appear to
radlate change places slowly in some
cases from day to day. while in others
they remain stationary? This is due
Prof. Pickering Of Harvard has recently
told us, to the relative dispositions OF
the earth's orbit and that of the swarm
to Which the meteors belong. Saws a
writer in Cosmos:
1T is we'll known that meteors h.-
longing TO the same system of shooting
stars describe paths that are nara,ler
one to another. When they enter our at
mosphere they appear to tiverse from q
single point of the heavens called a.

The Contracting Band Clutch
is strictly an Apperson inven-
ton. 1t is considered the
most ats a DRY motor
clutch in existence.
Apperson Brothers designed and
build their own transmission
gears, their own carburetors.
their own radiators. They not
only make All Apperson cars.
but devised all the features
that have made them famous.
More than any other one plant
in America, the Apperson
Brothers stands for individu-
al excellence in every part, as
against assembling methods.
Here are sound reasons for the
marvellous speed shown by
Apperson cars for their
stanchness on road and their
reliability, plus comfort.
1t is the Apperson system-the
perfect balance of Apperson
cars built of Apperson parts
that makes the Jack Rabbits
75-mile-an-hour gait not only
possible but logical.
You should know all about the
Apperson 1910 models-each
one al its price the best car
made in America today;
$4,000 to $4,25o.
You must ask the Agent right
here in your own city for a
demonstration over the coun-
try that you know best, be-
fore you can consider the au-
tomobile question settled.

Music-Loving Spiders.
From Harper's Weekly.

From Hafper 5 weekly.
1t has been asserted that spiders NOS
sess a sensitiveness to musical sounds
Some species seem to respond to the
notes OF the piano, the harp. the flute
and so on. in manner suggestive OF
their ability to recognize these sounds or
the harmonic vibrations on which they
are based But Prof. Lecaillon Of Paris,
who has made special study of the in
stincts and the supposed '.psychism' Of
spiders. thinks that the apparent sensi-
tiveness Of these insects to music has
been misunderstood. 1t is thought that
when musical instruments are played
near their nests the spiders simply feel
the vibrations through their webs or
otherwise without recognizing the musi-
cal notes as sounds. The effect upon
them is similar to that of the puzzins OF
