With the opening of the skating rink
on Saturday night, the second season of
the Arcade at Fourteenth street and
Park road will be started in full blast.
For weeks past workmen have been busy
putting in place and smoothing down the
new maple floor and installing hundreds
of electric lights and decorations. and
when the lights are turned on Saturday
night, even the patrons of last season
who visited the big rink almost nightly
will hardly recognize 1t.
Hundreds Of flags of all nations flutter
from the great girders. with incandes-
cents glittering between them and with
clusters Of multi-colored lights making 1t
a veritable fairyland Of bright lights and
colors.
All Of the attractions which made the
Arcade so popular last season will be in
operation when the rink is opened. The
ballroom was thrown open last Satur-
day and every night finds 1t comfortably
filed with dancers.

After voting almost unanimously
against asking Congress for legislation
allowing railroads to take over the ex-
press companies the convention of the
National Association of Railway Com
missioners spent most of yesterday in
discussion OF rolling stock taxation.
The matter came up in the report of
the committee on railroad taxes and fair
valuation. Chairman Edward NJ Bassett,
OF New York, asserted that State railway
commissions fail to make fair valuations
of road properties because they have no
standard schedule to guide them
How can State commission" he
asked, make fair valua tons reCognlz-

municipal purchase, another for taxation
another for rate making. and another for

Charles F. Staples. Of Minnesota, was

Georgia, second vice president; William
II. Connolly, chief clerk of the Inter-
State Commerce Commission. secretary
and William Fitzpatrick, Of Illinois, as
SStant secretary.
The suggestion of President Burr that
the railroads take over the express busi-
ness of their jurisdictions-whiCh came
up under the head of unfinished business
at the morning SeSsIOn-met strong Op-
position from the start. Commissioner
Clifford Thorn. of Iowa. and Commits
sloner O. r Berry OF Illinois, made and
seconded a motion to refer the matter
TO the committee on express Service and
express rates. After a brief discussion
the motion was carried.

The practice Of catching The Speak
er's eye" dates back ts the session Of
1910, when a heated dispute arose be
tween members of the house, several
OF whom claimed precedence OF
speech. Il was then decided tnat
whoever first caught the Speakers eye
should have tive right to address the
house. This rule worked smoothly
until 1885, when Sir John Trevor was
elected TO the chair. The Sew Speak
er was afflicted with an abominabie
sQuint. consequently two members
would often catch his eye simultane
ousiy and decline to give way 70 one
another. To obyiate this a further
rule was framed TO the effect that the
Speaker should cal, BY name upon the
member privileged 70 address the
house. So every holder OF the Office
has to possess a good memory for
names as wen as keen eyesight-Lon-

Seek Prison as Refuge.

In Japan there are people who make
sham confessions in order to obtain
a period Of the comparative warmth
and ccmfort Of a japanese prison. The
Japan Mail says: The police slang
OF the capital has words to describe
and distinguish these persons. 'Meshi
kui,' Or the rice criminal, will steal
some small article from shop front
in such a way as to be seen doing it.
He then makes a bolt of it. pursued
by the master OF the shop or some
faithful kozo. but presently allows
himself to be caught and handed to
the police. He has to do time for
his pretended theft. but bis rice is
secured for a period. and when that
period has elapsed he will allow him

Weather depends on the direction
and movement OF wind Warmth
comes from the sun, but wind is the
distributor of the warmth Visiting
any place that is warmer than itself,
wind always takes some of the
warmth away with it Visiting any
place that is colder than itself, wind
warns that place. This implies. Of
course, that wind moves. But what
makes 1t move? 1t moves by its own
weight. Wind is simply drifting air,
and the drift is caused by the very
