The mechanism consists of a concavs

of selenium, composed of "a separate cells,
which constitutes an artificial retina. As
the selenium acts under the influence of
light, an electric current IN each cell
transmits a luminous wave IN proper

light. The only Inconvenience hitherto
has been the fact that a separate wire

The inventors believe that they may
eventually also succeed in transmitting
colored images by a system of cells with
the three fundamental colors. and that
thus the telephote will give the Illusion

Modern Herods.

The milk trust of Chicago has raised
the price of milk from Z to cents per
quart, alleging the high price of feed and
the greater demands of the dairymen.
Which sounds plausible, but
II you buy milk by the pint the price II
{ cents per pint or 10 cents per quart.
That means that the poor Of the city,
who are the least able to buy, must pay
more for milk than the rich.
The tenement folk do not buy milk by
the quart. They must always buy in
small quantities-coal By the scuttleful or
the bushel and milk by the pint.
And because Of their poverty these poor
of Chicago must pay 20 per cent more for
their milk than the rich or well to do.
Do you wonder the poor Of the cities
lose hopef
have more babies than the rich. The
equation is like this:
More babies-less money.
Less money-higher price.
Babies must have milk. Their little
stomachs will not digest or assimtlate
more substantial food.
Milk is necessity where there is q
baby. And the men who manage the
milk trust know that Without milk the

babies alike.

When William 8. Holman of Indiana
was a member Of the House. as he was
for many years, he was known far and
near as the "Watchdo of the Treas
ury." Then, as now. much of the busi-
ness of the House was done by unani-
nous consent. Just after the read
ing of the journal the members who
speakers would rise In their seats and
shout, '1dr. Speaker. and. catch ing the
speakers eye. would ask unanimous con-
sent to have their little bills con-
sidered.
When the question was put ~Objec-
tor Holman would Immediately an
nounce that he would reserve the right
to object. and then he would ascertain
all about the bill before unanimous
consent was given
By pursuing this policy, which he did
Throughout the session, he became q
power In the House, and every member
who had a bill or resolution that he
wanted to get passed would see Hol-
man.
After Holman retired, his place as
watchdog" was filed by the late
Buck" Kilgore of Texas.
Buck" as his friends and admirers
loved to call him, was q great success
in the roll of Watchdog" He held
claim ana private pension bills in
check and legislation that required de-
bate seldom slipped by him when he
was on guard.
on one occasion, when Friday night
private pension bills, the late Speaker
Reed called Kilgore to the chair to
preside over the committee of the
whole.
This was q compliment Reed did not
pay any other democrat. 1t was due
to the Kilgore policy of keeping down
the passage of private pension bills ct
Friday night sessions that Friday ~
now devoted to the consideration Of
the se bills.
Since Kilgore retired, the Watchdog
role is played by Representative Mann
of Illinois and Macon of Arkansas.
Mann Is republican and acts for the
speaker, while Macon Ii a mocrat and
does the watchdog act in the inter-
est of economy.
Mr.. Macon is strong with points of
order, which are fatal to paragraphs
in appropriation bills. No money can be
carried in any bill which is not au-
thorized by existing law, nor can sal
aries of officials be raised; but they
may be reduced. and a point Of order
will not prevent 1t.
Mr.. Macon has been SO successful in
knocking out legislation with his little
point of order that he is now known
as Point Of Order Macon"
