A proprietor examining stones in the

upon what seemed to be a water-worn
pebble. four or five inches in diameter.
He cracked off a fragment with his pick
and discovered a fossil egg inside. The
contents had been converted into q sub
stance resembling asphalt, which con-
armed the theory that bitumen is de-
rived from animal remains. The egg
is as large as that Of a duck or goose.

L. James to me recently, .happened
one day when I walked into the cabi-
net room to see the president and
found there instead General Simon
Cameron, of Pennsylvania, whose SON
inlaw, Wayne MacVeagh, was Car
fields attorney general, seated at a
window that gave a vista Of the Poto-
mac and smoking a very large and
black cigar.
"After the senator had explained
that the president had been called
away for a while, the talk became gen.
eral. Finally something led me to ask
the general If he remembered his first
visit to Washington. =
Indeed, I do he said, and I'll tell
yon .a4 about it. !
"I first went to Washington in the
latter part Of February. 1928. It was
Just four days before the inauguration
Of Andrew Jackson. At my hotel, the
morning after my arrival I met a
Pennsylvania friend, and also a demo-
cratic member of congress from Penn
sylvania. My friend told me that he
had an adjudicated claim and that
there was a voucher for it in the state
department. but thai he couldn't get

Henry Clay, secretary Of state, and that
I would take him along with me. Then
i turned to the congressman.

exploded. IT should feel ashamed of
myself. I regard him as the greatest
scoundrel and reprobate in America.
and I shouldn't be afraid to tell him so
to his face"

The dangers of the dry shampoos
that have recently come into vogue are
Nnquestionably not sufficiently recog-
mixed. The growing s Of some OF
the light hydro-carbon or other volatile
compounds Is probably fraught with
the most serious consequences. but
poo powders have their drawbacks.
Carbon tetrachlorid seems to have been
used most extensively in this connec-
ton, and the number Of fatal acct
Tents which are being recorded makes
it incomprehensible hat a drug so
dangerous should be employed at all.
ITS formula, CCl-4, shows Its near re-
lation to chloroforrn, and its anaesthe-
tic properties are almost as marked.
The vapor given off is considerably
heavier h air and rapidly accumu-
lates around the face when the liquid

on the faulty Of the day. The vapor
of carbon ~tetrachlorid, aside from its
anaesthetic or Supplying effect. Is a
heart poison, and in the presence of the
highest cardiac weakness Is extreme
ly likely to produce a fatal result.
It would seem, in view of such def
nitely established facts and the sew
eral deaths that already can be traced
to this highly toxic agent, hat the use
of all such preparations should be in
terdicted once and for all. Society

From London Spare Moments.
When the nature Of the work per-
formed by the camel is considered it is
perhaps its very somnolent organiza-
ton which best fits 1t for that work
and which gives color to the accusa-
lions of laziness and stupidity made
against 1t. 1t can live on a diet as
appetizing as "a green umbrella" to
use Sir Samuel Bakers words. Barren,
leaf1ess twigs. dried shrubs and the
tough, paperllke substances of the dome
palm form the chief courses in the
menu prepared by nature for this deni-
zen Of the desert. The marvellous ar
rangement for the retaining of a supply
of water sufficient t. last for many

words:
""Mr. Secretary. I nave brought up
this democratic congressman to see

MIR. Clay held out both hands, and
bestowed a smile pon his viliifier
mating I had ever seen. He held the
others hands In both of his while he
called a clerk, told him to get the
voucher for the claim, and declared
that 1T was an i~nexcusable error that
the voucher had not been forwarded.

to get others to take their places, as
the filing of a petition created a moral
obligation and the persons filing the
petition had legal right to insist on
the signers' names remaining on the
petition" The decision of the court
will be of much interest throughout
the state. Practically the same ques
ton was decided by the supreme
court of Michigan a day or two latter.
In Marquette county the prohibitions
lists had secured the required number
of signatures to a petition asking for
a vote upon the question of abolishing
saloons in that county. After the
petition had been posted according to
law the "wets" hustled around and
secured go Withdrawals and the
county officials allowed the names to
be withdrawn and refused to allow
the question to be voted upon. The
supreme court of that state held that
the signers could not withdraw after
the petition had been posted. 1t looks
like good law, too. A petition, or list
of names, is nothing in itself, but
when, after certain forms of law have
been complied with, the petition be
comes operative under the law, and
is used as a basis for determining the
will of the people, it is too late to
defeat the intent of the law by vacilla-
ton or premenitated design. But to
get back to the local interest in the
matter. The law as now interpreted
by Judge Taylor is that a signer to a
petition for vote upon license cannot
withdraw his name after the petition
is filed, that is during the thirty days
it must be on file preceding the cleo
ton. Until reversed by the supreme
court this will hold in this the Ninth
judicial circuit, comprising the coun.
ties of Kingsbury, Sphinx. Beadle, and
Miner.
