J THE Law OF ANNEXATION.

With the movement for the extern
sion Of the, corporate limits gaining
strength. daily, it will probably be of
intereststo our readers to publish a
briefSoutline, Of the legal procedure
necessary. toscarry it into effect. The
statute, provides that after the ordin-
apce is passed, the corporation attor-
ney shall file a petition in the circuit
court of the county wherein the great
est part Of the territory lies Tin this
case, Alexandria County,. The gov
ernor then designates q judge from
some distant circuit to sit in the case.
and the hearing is by the. court with
out q jury. ANY person or any num-
ber-of persons interested, may come
in and oppose the petition. The
jpdge considers the necessity for and
ekpediency of annexation, and wheth-
er the terms OF the ordinance are
fair, and enters Judgment accord
ingly. The court may either de-
crease the amount OF territory asked
for or increase the. same, if he deems
best. or that it will be needed in the
reasonably near future for develop
ments."
The Law further provides that the
taxes in the annexed territory cannot
be increased for q period of five
years, unless by petition of majority
of the free. holders; and that the tax"
es for the first five years shall be
spent upon street, sewer, light, wa
ter or other public improvements in
said territory The city may, how
ever, set apart a sum equal to twelve
per cent OF the value Of the annexed
territory to be spent on public
improvements in that territory,
Tin our case, the amount would
be approximately one hundred thous-
and dollars).
AS soon, as such sum is set
apart, and improvements begun, then
this territory becomes subject to the
same rate of taxation as prevails in
the city, and its taxes go into The
general fund. But this amount of
twelve per cent is to be reduced by
any amount previously expended by
the city in public improvements in
the annexed territory.
ANY public improvements made in
the annexed territory are paid for
out Of the taxes derived from that
territory. but the city must pay the
county for any school building ia
ken in. In our case, the value OF
school buildings to be taken will he
about. twelve or thirteen thousand
dollars.

KING ALCOHOL.

The annual report Of Royal Z.
Cabell, commissioner of internal rev.
enue, makes several startling declar-
ations. All records were broken in
the past fiscal year in the production
of alcoholic liquors. The smoking OF
opium is widespread vice in this
country, and opium Joints exist in
every city of considerable size.
The internal revenue receipts last
year were s325,526,299, the greatest
in tn history of the government. This
years production of distilled spirits
amounted to 175,402,395 gallons,
nearly 100000 more than in the
previous banner year, 1907. The
production of beer, ale, etc, amount
ed to 63,216,s51 barrels, nearly
100000 barrels more than in the
previous banner year, 1910.
The amount Of liquor held in bond
ed warehouses for ripening now
reaches the enormous total Of 249,-
279.346 gallons.
The above facts are suggestive. 1t
seems that Notwithstanding the many
crusades made against vice, the wave
shows no indication of recession.
The figures also show that the use OF
intoXicants is increasing to an alarm
ing extent among the many who art
making lifetime fights against King
Alcohol.

Berlin.-The new Zeppelin airship,

on her trial trips developed the speed
of twenty-one meters per second, and
is thus the fastest airship in the

that the superiority of airships over
aeroplanes is rapidly being demon
strated. and that hitherto only the
speed obtained gave the latter an ad'
vantage. The speed of siXty.two miles
all hour can, it says, be attained by
aeroplanes. but only by very expert
enced pilots, while the speed attained
BY the new airship with perfect Sc

an hour. The Kolnische Zeitung is
convinced that the rate Of speed Will
be increased in later airships. The

Their Usefulness 10 Not Gone Jus,
Because You Have Read Thorn.
The mere fact that moths cannot
read Is no reason why they should de-
test newspapers, but they do neverthe-
less. It isn't exactly the newspaper or
its editorial policy that moths dislike.
It's the ink used In printing the type
that makes the moths stay away. That
u why. in the absence Of mothproof
bags and cedar chests. some house
wives pack their furs and woolens
away wrapped in newspapers at the
end Of the winter season and find
that il u satisfactory way of preserv-
ing them against the ravages Of moths.
There is nothing better than old news
papers for use under the carpets for
the same reason.
Old newspapers have many other
uses as well. Wet in water they serve
to clean out the stove splendidly.
Crushed newspapers are excellent to
clean lamp chimneys. They can even
be used for an iron holder for an
emergency.
Newspapers dipped in lamp oil are
useful for cleaning windows. Irons
not much soiled can be rubbed on old
newspapers and thus made fit for use
Dipped in lamp oil they are splendid
to rub the outside of the dishpan.
They keep it bright and shining. Torn
in shreds. slightly dampened and scat
tered over the carpet. they keep down
dust when sweeping They clean the
sink of Its grease and sediment. Moth
ing is better. for the greasy paper can
be at once burned after use.
Many times folded newspapers will
serve as a mat to stand hot and black
ened pots or kettles ON and save soil
ing the Kitchen table. The kitchen
stove is kept bright after the cooking
of each meal with old papers. and this
saves many polishings.

There are many giants in Africa nine

LIFE BUOY AND OAR.

Putting on the One and Supporting
Yourself With tho Other.
Very few persons know how to get
into life buoy. and. as in this uncer-
tain world one never knows when one
may need to make use of q buoy in
real earnest. little practice might
prove of great value in an emergency.
Now. when the buoy Is thrown into
the water the temptation is to try to
lift it over ones head and shoulders
or to dive through it. This, however.
is impossible. The correct thing is to
grasp the two sides of the buoy with
fingers of the hands uppermost lower
yourself under the buoy and come up
through the center, then rest your
arms upon the sides. and you will be
comfortably supported as long as 1t Ia
necessary.
: More often than otherwise. in case of
accident life buoy is not at hand.
In such an event an oar may be used
as a substitute. Now. there Is some
little art in saving oneself by this
means. for an average sized scull is
not buoyant enough to support a per-
son II grasped AZ the FIRST impulse
would direct.
There is only one way in which the
oar will support human being. 1t
must be ridden like hobbyhorse
