call of judges section, the territory
may become a state automatically.
A Wide Difference


There is wide difference therefore
in the two propositions. One provides
that the troublesome section may be
incorporated, if the people say SO, and
the other provides that the people
must positively reject it. There seems
TO be no ground upon which the house
and senate may get together within
the short time now remaining of the
session.
This is the present legislative STU
alton. Congress is now expected to
adjourn within another month, and it
will be impossible to pass the House
measure in the Senate on account of
the filibuster already threatened. This
filibuster will operate as the previous
one did. 1t will keep New Mexico out
of the Union just as it kept that ter
ritory out before.
These two territories are linked in
this legislation for political reasons
solely. ew Mexico is Republican. Ari-
IONA is Democratic. When they read
mitted the political division of the
House and Senate will be unchanged.
Two new Democratic Senators and
two new Republican Senators will
take their seats. One Democrat and
one Republican will begin service in
the House.
Therefore the Democrats are op-
posed to the admission of New Next
co until Arizona can be proclaimed
a state also. The Republicans are ag-
ainst the admission of Arizona until
New Mexico can receive statehood.
That is why the two territories are
coupled. That is why one party fill
busters against one territory in order
to promote statehood for the other
These western people, however, are
not discouraged. They have the pied
ges of both national parties in favor
of statehood. The last national con-
ventions adopted platforms indorsing
the new movement, and the citizens of
the territories will keep on demanding
statehood until they get it.
The next session of Congress will
find the issue on top again. 1t will
have to be wrestled with all over
again, and the recall of judges will be
again debated with vigor and much
use of time. Arizona could solve the
whole peculiar problem by declaring
voluntarily for the remuneration of the
recall section. This territory, however,
is not inclined to yield on this point. 1t
wants the recall, and will demand the
right to frame constitution accord
ing to the ideas of it's citizens.

FORCE OF GRAVITY.
How It Would Affect Mans Wsieht on
the Celestial Bodies.

the CeioettaI GodleS.
If the planet Mars be really inhab-
tied the people who live there must be
an exceedingly agile race. The av-
erage weight OF a man is about $40
pounds. but the force Of gravity on
Mars is so much less than on the
earth that the 14O pound man would
weigh only fifty-three pounds If he
were transported thither With such
light weight. and still retaining the
same strength, an individual would
be able to run with the speed of an
express train, 60 skipping over ten
foot walls and do various other ex-
traordinary things. On the moon a
man would be even lighter.
But on the sun our 40 FOUNDER
would have his troubles. Instead Of
being an airy individual he would
weigh in the neighborhood of a ton
and three-quarters. He would prob
ably have the greatest difficulty in
raising his hand. for that member
would weigh about 300 pounds.
According to scientific computation,
a man who on earth weighs 40
pounds would on the other celestial
bodies weigh az follows:
The moon. % pounds: Mars, SO
pounds: Venus. ia pounds; Mercury,
119 pounds: Neptune. 1913 pounds:
Uranus. 1877 pounds; Saturn. 165
pounds; Jupiter. 81 pounds, and tho
sun. 3.S71 pounds.--ChicaSo Tribune.

A BANANA TREE.
The Fruit Grows Small Ecd Up and Is
Cut White Un-ips.

Cut "nHo OfrtpS-
Contrary 10 popular belief. bananas
do not grow on the tree AS they hang
in the grocery. but with the small end
OF the fruit pointing upward-to all
appearances upside down.
There is probably. no other fruit Of
such universal consumption about
which SO little is known TO the average
person as the. banana. Scarcely one
man in a thousand not connected with
the business knows what 4 banana
tree looks like.
The fruit is never allowed to ripen
on the tree. but is cut half or three
quarters "full"-that is. half to three
quarters developed. according 10 the
distance il is TO be shipred-aud comes
to maturity by feeding from the stalk.
which contains Il large amount OF sap.
Bananas cut in this way attain prac-
ticallv the same size rs if allowed to
remain on the tree. in which case the
bunch becomes too much of a burden
for its support and either falls or
breaks the tree and ripens on the
ground.
After the cutting the plantation is
cleaned" which merely consists of
severing the standing trunks within a
few feet of the ground. and n new tree
comes forth from the remains OF its
predecessor. so that the fruit in MI
stages of growth is to be found at the
same time, aud the yield is continuous.

When Wall street first caught the
fever for industrial combinations"
and began the reorganization of every
thing in sight one of the votaries OF
high finance found himself in Chicago
in extreme need of communicating
with his New York Office.
He almost completed an arrange
ment for the consolidation of several
western enterprises. but in order to
New York he must explain all he had
done by wire to his partners.
There was no time TO write. He had
no cipher code. For long time he
tried to think out some way to send
the information so that 1t would be
plain to his partners and meaningless
to any one else. His secret was val
liable one and once sent over the wire
might be sold on: TO his rivals in Wall
street for large sum.
At last he decided to take the
chances in plain English. Accordingly
he wrote the message and gave it to
his assistant to send. Half an hour
later. when the assistant came back.
he asked him If he had sent it
