The principle on which the proposed
legislation is based was presented by sen
ato1- Borah in a bill providing for the
authorization of thirty-milllon-ooiial
bond issue. This measure was prepared
by him after a conference with Presioenl
Taft and Secretary Ballinger. Whlle tne .
President was in the west on ms tour u
the country last summer.
When the committee met TO take W
.,;s Iagislation all of the senators agreed
to the proposition that the reclamation
fund does not provide money rapidly
enough to complete the existing projects
as conditions in the west require. Ihat
question out of the way, the only prop
lem before the committee was as 10
whether bonds or certificates Of fndebt-

lem proved stubborn Of solution luton, ,o Inc
in favor Of certificates, but not until 1t
was reported by Chairman Carter tnat
Speaker Cannon believes that II Would
be impossible to get a bond issue through

DecimaIs and Duodecimals.

Herbert Spencer offered character
istically original system Of reckoning
He chung to the duodecimal system,
mainly because twelve can be divided
by three and four rs ten cannot. But
he suggested that all the advantages
Of both systems might be combined by
making twelve the basis Of calculation
inyenting two new digits to take the
places Of ten and eleven and making
twelve times twelve the hundred
Spencer scornfully remarked that the
decimal system rests solely on the fact
that man has ten fingers and ten toes
If he had had twelve there never
would have been any difficulty"

NapoIeon's Temper.

A story is told of sudden rage into
which Napoleon l. fell one day as ne
was at dinner. he had scarcely par
taken of a mouthful when apparently
some inopportune thought or recollec-
ton stung his brain to madness, and'
receding from the table without rising
from his chair-his small stature per-
mitted that-he uplifted his foot-dash
went the table, crash went the dinner
and the emperor sprang up, intending
to pace the room. Quick as fash his
waiter scratched q few magic symbols
on q bit Of paper, and the emperor's
check had grown more than double.
Napoleon appreciated the delicacy OF
his attendant and said, THANK you,
my dear Dunand," with one Of bis in
imitable smiles. The hurricane had
blown over.

Face of the Typical New Yorker.

London Is friendlcss city enough,
heaven knows. to those who are not
able to conquer, but she seems to me
mild, benignant even, in comparison
with New York The face of the Lon
doner Is very often overcast with the
thought of how to get living in the
keen competition Of the people in that
mighty capital, but the London face is
tranquility embodied in comparison
with the face Of the typical New
Yorker. Keen, Ratchet shaped, anx-
tous, absorbed-such Is the face you
see everywhere around you. And this
keenness Of face is accompanied by a
terrible spirit of self absorption. You
seldom see people talk much while
they are travelling in the elevated rail-
way or In the subway, as they eau the
