LABOR UNIONS
 FOR AMENDMENT
Is Endorsed by Almost Every One of
 the Large Unions of the City.

l o whom IL May Concern: Amendment No. 10 is substantially the same as the Oregon amendment, except that it omits the last paragraph of the Oregon form, which provides that the referendum shall apply not only to complete acts of the legislature, but to any section or part of any act, and which extends the provisions for District Legisla- tfon to "all local, special and muni- cipal legislation.
 It is unfortunate that these pro- visions were not included in the Ark ansas bill, but when the amendment has been adopted, the peoples fun damenta1 rights will be secure and minor improvements can be added from time to time,
 Objections to Direct Legislation are made by those who do not understand it-those who overestimate the effects of other reforms like Proportional epresentation-those who think the Referendum will interfere with the dignity and usefulness of councils and egislatures-those whose per- sonal power would be diminished, or their private interests subjected to the public interest-those who ob- !'ect because of natural inclination to take the other side, or chance pre;- udice derived from dislike or op- position to the person bringing the matter to their notice or prominently advocating it in their neighborhood- those who are conservative by in- heritedmental inertia-those who ob- Ject to change on the general prin- ciple and they are pretty comfortable as they are-and those who distrust the people and have aristocratic leanings.
 Ignorance, prejudice, self interest, and doubt of Democracy appear to he the sources of objection to the h. 1tiatiye and Referendum. Given a clear understanding of the facts, the nature and workings of the Referen- dunn, and of the unguarded system of lawmaking by final voting of the delegates, and the attitude on Direct Legislation depends on the answer the person would give in his heart to the question, Shall the govern- ment belong to the people or to class:"
 Don't Understand.
 Some persons say, 'The Referen- aum vii! keep the people voting all the time, and the cost will be too heavy" They seem to imagine that the legislature of a state would go or passing six or eight hundred laws a gear, and the people would have to vote on them all.
 Most of the Referendum voting will probably be done at the regular elections without additional expense of any amount. And the cost of petitions and whatever special cleo tion may now and then be needed will be more than balanced by the great economies resulting from purer government and fewer laws. All this is clear in reason, as we have seen, and has been proved in the his tory of Switzerland. But ever if it Were net so. the matter of cost is definitely insignificant in the ligh. of the political and social benefits of Direct Legislation.

DROPS OF WATER.
Thrown Upon a Redhot Stove, They
Will Never Touch II.

WIN never lOuCn ".
1t is impossible TO throw a few drops
of water on redhot stove. The wa
ter can never touch the stove at all.
What is seen is a few drops rolling
rapidly over the surface, gradually
getting smaller until they disappear.
If the drops are on a perfectly level
place one can see under them to the
other side of the room, thus proving
that they are not in contact with the
stove itself.
What actually happens is that the
bottom of the drop changes at once to
steam or vapor on coming close to the
hot surface, and this vapor is supplied
by the drop as it gradually goes away.
So the drop rests on cushion Of va
por until it is entirely dissipated. This
state of water is known as the spheroi-
dial state and is of interest simply on
account of its popularity and seeming
ly paradcXical behavior.
The reason why the drop is not i'm
mediately evaporated or changed to
steam is also very interesting. The
water vapOr that intervenes between
its under surface and the redhOt stove
is very bad conductor of heat, and
consequently the full intensity of the
heat cannot get to the water itself.

THE JURY DISAGREED.
A Fine Point In Equity That Never
Was Decided.


An old time story of the fine points
Of law and equity which arose in car
rying out an amicable contract is told
In the Philadelphia Record. There
were four brothers who had inherited
a storage warehouse from their father.
He had divided the property equally
among them.
Among the appurtenances was cat
"a fine animal, excellent for mousing.
This, too, was divided. the eldest
brother owning the right front quar-
ter, the second brother the left front
quarter and the younger brothers the
two hind quarters.
Now. unfortunately, the cat In one
Of its nocturnal prowls injured the
right front paw, and the eldest
brother attended to that portion of his
property by binding the injured mem,
Der with creased rag.
The cat, thankful for this relief to
its sufferings, went to sleep content
edly before the fire, but in the midst
of its slumbers a falling coal ignited
the rag, and the animal, bowling with
agony dashed through the warehouse
and, coming in contact with some COM
bustibles, set the building on fire.
When the loss came to be figured
out the three younger brothers wished
to throw 1t all upon the eldest on the
ground that had he not tied up his
part Of the cat with the inhammable
rag the building would not have been
destroyed.
He. on the contrary, contended that
had the cat only been possessed of the
front right paw-his property-it
would have stood still and burned to
death. 1t was the three other paws
| that caused the damage.
The brothers argued the case until
they died, but they never reached an
| agreement.

The ComicaI Way These Queer Birds

THE resemblance of pengiuns to

Lieutenant f. II. Shackleton in his

This is partly due to the habit of

great many human traits about them.
They are the civilized natives of these
regions, and their civilization. If much
simpler than ours. is in some respects
higher and more worthy Of the name" !"
OF two Of the photographs that appear
IN the book the following remarks are
made:
IAN emperor penguin, meeting an
emperor or men or dogs, bows gravely
till his beak is almost touching his
breast. Keeping his head bowed. he
makes Il long speech in a muttering
manner, short sounds following in

A better way, however. Is to rub
down n portion of chalk with an old
toothbrush in tumbler half filled
with water. If you desire TO prepare
several slides rub on about a teaspoon
ful OF the powder. Shake the tumbIer
briskly. allow the sediment TO settle
for moment and then carefully pour
off the milky looking water.
Repeat this until the water remains
clear. and you will then have left in
the bottom only perfect shells or large
parts of shells. Take up a small pine h

AN IMPoST0R'S TRICK.
The Cheerful Liar That Made q Fool
Of the Grand Monarch.

Louis XIV. was taken In once In a
most humiliating way and by an i'm
postor whose only art was lying. In
1861. just after he had returned from
one OF his most dazzling military sue
ceSses against the Dutch. Louis lie
Grand received word that an embassy
from Persia had just landed at Mar
seilles en- route to the French court to
bring salutations and presents from
the shah. Pleased that his fame
should actually have run around the
world. he sent word that all the towns
on the way from Marseilles to Paris
should fete the ambassador.
As result the journey to Paris was
march Of triumph. Children sang
and flowers were strewn along the
way. Arrived at Paris, several regi-
ments of the Swiss guard met the
shah's representative and escorted him
10 magnificent suit in the old palace
Of the Tuileries. Louis sent no less
person than the Due de Richelieu to
welcome the potentate and invite him
out to Versailles to special reception
in the hall of mirrors.
The ambassador presented himself
as Ria Bey Of the Persian court and

vanced to kiss the hand of Louis lie

caravan of presents from his i'm
perial sovereign were on their way
and would arrive IN Paris In a few
days, said the ambassador.
Festivals followed at Versailles. The
hey received magnificent presents from
Louis and royal entertainment. He
lounged gracefully on divans at the
French court and smoked In Persian
languor. He gave the grand monarque
few fragments Of opal and turquoise,
saying that they came from a Persian
district bordering on the Caspian sea.
The woods there were full Of them, he
explained, and he offered to divide
with France-had planted the French
flag there already, as 1t were!
At last the day came for the formal
presentation Of the shah's gifts, and

into space. He was never seen or

said, gone glimmering through the

A CHINESE STRATAGEM.
Legend Of How Projected Invasion
Was Averted.


RajIE Suran, who was one Of the
earliest rulers of India. Overran the
entire east with the exception of Chi
m. kiilel innumerable sultans with his
own hand uud married all their daugh-
tcrs. II is said that when the Chinese
heard Of his triumphant progress and
learned that hc had reached their
frontier they became much alarmed.
The emperor called a council Of his
generals and mandarinS, and upon the
advice of crafty old mandarin the
following StrltCgCm was carried out:
4 large ship was loaded with rusty
nails. trees were planted on the deck.
the vessel was manned by numerous
crew of old men and dispatc he'd TO the
rljah's capital. When it arrived-the
most wonderful part Of the story Is
that il did arrive-the rajah sent an
officer to ask how long 1t had taken
the vessel to make the trip from China.
The Cinnamon answered that they had
all been young men when they set sail
AMI that on the voyage they had plant
ed the seeds from which the great
trees had grown. In CorrOboration OF
their story they pointed to the rusty
nails which. they said. had been stout
iron bars as thick as a mans arm when
they started. You can see" they
concluded. that China must be very
long distance away"
The rajah was so much impressed
by these plausible arguments that he
concluded he would not live long
enough to reach China and abandoned
his projected invasion.
