TURNER JACOBSON
 REVENUE BILL AGAIN

Little Rock, Aug. 14.-It be- gins to look now as no matter how many names are required to sub- init the Turner-J Jacobson reVe- nue bill to the people, the active workers for submission will ac. complish their purpose, and the voters of Arkansas will have a chanceto drop in a ballot one way or the other on it next general election.
 Reports from all oyer the state show scattering signatures, but as no great number is required, they will probably be secured.
 The peculiar feature about the reference is the newspapers of the state have nothing, or prac- tlcally nOtnlng, to say about the measure. Four newspaper men in Little Rock during the past week, stated the bill looked good to them and they were not op- posing it's becoming a law with out submission to the people, though submission would mean 5000 each to them, or someother editor of the county, claiming it would be that much in the pock- ct of the editor who was success ful in getting the act for pulica- tion.

GOVERNOR DONAGHEY
 CREATES WONDER

Gov. c. w. Donaghey states positively he will have nothing of a political nature to give out this week, so it means another dull season for the politicians who can do no real work until they know where to place him. With the an nouncement of Colonel $. M. Taylor of Pine Bluff for Con- gressman in the Sixth district, the list there grows longer, and l.. E. Sawyer of Hot Springs is now counted upon as the next probable candidate in that dis trict Politicians here do not look at it in that way, for they believe the entrance of Col. Fay Tor into the race, means the elim- instion of all except two or three of those now running. Several new candidates are expected in the race for Attorney General this week for it begins to appear as though so many good men are being urged to announce that an effort was made to split the con- servative vote and put one vote over on the voters. J. Sam Row land of Harrison, the former state senator, and present mem Der of the State Board of Chari- ties, has announced as a candi- date for railroad commissioner in the Northwest Arkansas district and with the ice broken in for railroad commissioner, a number of announcements are expected. R. P. Allen, the chairman of the commission has served two and is now on his third term, and it is not known whether he will again be a caddidate or not. w. K. Surridge, defeated by George W. Bellamy, will make an effort to recoup in the coming primaries, and Commissioner Mcknight will have opposition to his reelection in the Southwest. ern district, as several have sig nitied their intention of oppos. ing him for a second term.

Little Rock, August l4.-I h e Education Commission of Arkan- sos convened in the office of Geo. D Cook this morning, with the C,norintendent .of Public h. struction acting as the chair man.
 The credentials of each mem her were presented by Governor Donaghey, who met for a time with the Commission.
 Dr. J. H. Reynolds of the Uni versity of Arkansas and Prof. J.. W. Kuykondall, superintendent of the Ft. Smith Schools, have bpen in Little Rock since the middle of last week and they as sisted Supt. Cook and Secretary B. W. Torreyson to tabulate the state aid for high school proposi- tion until there will be little left today but formally pass upon the apportionment of the state aid fund, as suggested by t h e sub. committee.
 There are no schools asking for state aid, and as most of them have three and four years courses and some normals, it is probable some httle financeering will have to be done to get them all within the amount appropriated for the purpose.

DESTROYING A BRIDGE

An interesting use of electricity
was recently demonstrated in Eng
land, where a wooden bridge was
cut down by means Of electrically
heated wires. The bridge had been
condemned, and was to be replaced
by a steel structure supported on
the old masonry piers and abut-
ments. Three weeks was allowed In
which to dismantle the woodwork,
but 1t proved impossible to accomp-
lish the work in so short time
without the use of dynamite or fire,
which undoubtedly would have in
jured the masonry. Finally an cleo
trician proposed to destroy the bridge
by the use of electricity. Each span
of the bridge contained twenty-seven
planks, and it was proposed to cut
them so that they would drop into
the water simultaneously, clear OF
the piers. The structure was wired
and sufficient current was employed
to bring the wires to a cherry red.
An hour and forty minutes after the
current was applied, the first span
was cut and fell into the water. The
operation was begun at 5 o'clock
in the morning, and at o'clock at
night the structure had been de-
molished without injuring the ma
sonry.

ELECTRIC PHOTOGRAPHY

Many electrical devices, designed
for altogether different purposes, are
finding a field of usefulness in the
developing branch of photography.
An electrical hair-dryer and flatiron
are shown as examples. The former,
which is one of the many electrical
devices of hair-dressing parlors, can
be used for drying both negatives and
prints. The current of warm air
from the dryer can only be directed
on one negative at a time, but the
drying is accomplished in Is min
utes. When prints are being so
dried, they should be fastened to a
board to prevent curling. The cleo
trio f1atiron is said to give excellent
results in mounting prints. Gum It's
sue is placed between the print and
the cardboard, and the electric iron
is then applied.

STERILIZATION OFWATER

One Of the important uses to which
ultraviolet rays have already been
put has been to absolutely sterilize
water, however much 1t may have
been contaminated by bacteria. Ex-
periments have also shown that the
ultraviolet rays will sterilize milk
without the application Of heat in
such a manner that 1t can be kept
in properly sterilized vessels for long
periods without deterioration or loss
Of its food values.
With the growth of population, the
pollution Of rivers, and. the contami-
nation Of the water supply upon
which our population must rely, and
the difficulty Of determining whether
the water and milk we use are free
from noxious bacteria, this safe and
thorough method of sterilization be-
comes Of inestimable value. The
elaborate experiments and demon
strations which have already been
made at the Sorbonne, In Paris, and
at the city water works of Marseil-
les. France, have not only proved the
feasibility of this method of sterili-
zation. but have brought out the fact
that a 15,000-kilowat generator of
electrical energy could sterilize, by
means of mercury vapor quartz
lamps, as much water as is actually
used for drinking and cooking in
the United States.

HEAT AS FAMILY DOCTOR

A dry, steady warmth applied in
the right place is often the great
est help in relieving pain and treat
ing diseases. Not until the electric
blanket was successfully operated
did the disadvantages of the hot
water bottle, such as its weight, un-
even heat and soon become promi-
nent. The electric blanket has
passed from the experimental stage
to that Of practical necessity. Not
only this, but it is made in many diff
ferent shapes so as to be most con-
venient for special uses, as for a
chest and back pad, cap, collar,
sweating jacket. etc. In its soft
eiderdown cover the warming pad or
blanket is the ideal comforter and
the foe of pain. Control is arranged
so as to give a low, medium, or high
temperature by the turn Of switch.

NEW HOUSES FROM OLD

1t is astonishing how many people
neglect to avail themselves of the
most practical form of electricity
electric light. In the great majority
of cases where electric light is not
used in the home it is neglect. Peo-
pie neglect to notice its beauty, its
safety, its economy, and its hygienic
value. Some people neglect to really
notice the fact that their houses are
wired. To families who use electric
light it would seem like an impos-
sible statement that there are wired
houses which are not taken at their
face value, but are occupied by peo-
pie who are blankly staring over the
head of their most modern convent
ence. They neglect to take account
of the times in which they are liV-
ing. Some people find themselves in
an unwired house and neglect to
have it wired. Some people neglect
to make the small amount OF tnves-
tigation which is necessary to dispel
a prejudice against the mechanic and
the former noise and litter which at
tended his presence.
A little inquiry will serve to estab-
lish the fact that the electrician has
separated himself from the bunch Of
mess making repairers OF house
cleaning fame, and that the mem
bers of the household may go about
with their Sunday tempers while he
works from his base of operations in
the garret or the cellar:
The service wires may enter the
house from the garret, the cellar, or
the side or back door. Here he
places the main switch, the fuses
and the meter. From this point the
wires for the different circuits which
he has planned are "fished" through
walls and between beams. Where
the wires are to be attached to the
fixtures a small hole in the wall or
ceiling is made. This is, of course,
completely covered when the fix
lures are in place.
All finishings which cannot be
harmed are carefully considered.
For example, If you wish a dome
over the dining room table you GER
tainly do not wish the hardwood
floor in the chamber above disturbed.
In that case he would remove base
board of the closet in the chamber
and push his wires from here to the
desired point above the dining table.
In case the beams intercept the line
from the closet to the point above
the table, he removes a portion Of
the base board on the other side of
the room in order to get the proper
line.
When the wires and fixtures are In
place the work is completed. There
is nothing left to be done. Every
aperture in the flooring, wall, or
ceiling, which was necessary to con-
meet the wires with the fixtures was
nailed up as soon as the connections
were made The little pieces of
plaster were caught as they fell, and
the little sprinklings of sawdust were
swept up before they passed on to
the next room.
The very simple process employed
in wiring an already built house has
served hundreds of families by max
ing new houses out of old ones. Elec-
tricity is modern light. ready to be
installed in any home.

ELECTRICITYAND GROWTH

At the suggestion Of Prof. Svante
Arrhenius, an experiment is being
tried in Stockholm upon fifty school
children. The children are divided
into two groups identical in point of
health, height, weight, ETC.. and are
placed In two class rooms of the
same dimensions, and similarly situ-
ated as regards exposure to light.
In each class room, exactly the same
teaching is given, but one of the
class rooms is subjected to electric
ity, while the other Is not AS yet
the experiment has not been drawn
to a close, but 1t is reported that
the electrified children" have shown
a greater mental and physical de-
velopment than those in the other
class room.

SPOILS OBSERVATORY

Owing to the steadily increasing
brilliance of the electric illumina-
ton in the vicinity, the astronomical
department of the Brooklyn Insti-
tute Of Arts and Sciences has start
ed an active campaign for new OBJ
servatory, to be located near the in
sdtute building on Mount Prospect.
Not only does the direct light of the
great electric signs affect the obser-
vations, but the sum total Of the
downtown lighting is said to be so
great that 1t sets the entire heavens
aglow.

Common Sense Is the Secret Of His

Has Made Him Famous

Los Angeles. Cal. Common

in the world. is the secret by
which William ]. Burns. whose work
I'm connection with the Mcnamara
cases made his name worldwide. has
risen TO be crowned king of American
detectives. Although he has dealt with
some OF the most hardened criminals
I'm the country he has never fired
shot at human being.
Burns is the essence OF the ordi-
nary. A man about middle height,
broad shouldered. with prominent fea.
lures and pair of gray eyes that bore
through you and the wall beyond.
reddish brown hair, untouched by
age; his mustache tinged with gray.
attired probably bit more carefully
and up TO date than the average bust
ness man, and with manner alert
and positive, he presents not the APP
pearance of detective, but to the
unknowing passes off for prosperous
citizen OF fastidious taste regarding
dress.
Burns was appointed TO the govern
ment secret service In 1890 and was
located In the west. working in Indian
territory, Texas, Arkansas and the
south He was soon placed in charge
OF that district and in 1894 was trans
ferred TO Washington, where he was
promoted for good work and got
rowing commission, going wherever
there was an unusually important
case.
One of the biggest feats in those
days was the running down OF the
principles in the Brockway- Bradford

them, and in order TO pick the bogus
