Triumph of Principle
Seen In Primary Election

\ LOS ANGELES, Cal. Nov. l0.-The
urinary election In Los Angeles, just
held would indicate that there are
more residents Of the city who want
socialistic government than there
are who want a reform government
by the commercial interests.
This Is only partly true The true
significance CT the fact that job Harri'
man, the Socialist ran better than an
even race with Alexander, the re
IL m" candidate and hat the Social
isl vote for couucilmen ran heavier
than any other vote, is this:

tion have groa:n tired Of so-called
reform administration that paid
sole attention TO only such reforms as
would not hurt the business interests
and gave no heed 10 demands for in
dustrial reforms Tor the relief OF the
wording population.
We're it possible 20 determine ex-
actly the political convictions of each
voter al the primary election 1t Is
strongly probable that al least half
OF those who voted for the Socialist
candidates were members OF other
parties--not Socialists in a political
sense. The Hartman vote was a vote
for the fundamental principal Of equal

PULLING THE COURTS LEG.
A Practice the English Judge Did His
Best to Discourage.

A Practice the English Judge Did His
Best to Discourage.
The following remarkable judgment
was delivered some years ago by a
magistrate in one Of the English colo
MES:
"Pachua is hereby charged with hav-
ing on the 18th Of January followed
the court on its rising and while said
court was In the act Of mounting into
its buggy came from behind and. seiz-
ing the courts dangling leg. the other
foot being on the step, forcibly pulled
back the court. frightened the horse
and nearly caused an accident The
reason alleged for this by accused is
that he wanted to hear the result of an
application of his. The practice by Pc
titioners of pulling the courts by the
legs Is one that should be discouraged.
Accused only says he is poor man,
admitting the truth of the complaint.
He is sentenced to one months rigor-
GUS imprisonment"
Strange to relate. the lieutenant gov
ernor Of the province on reading this
sentence felt 1t necessary to intimate
to the magistrate that neither the sen
tence itself nor the peculiar phraseolo-
gy in which 1t was couched was calcu.
lated to meet with approval from minds
running In legal grooves.

THE EARTH'S CHANGES.

What the Fossil Remains of Plants
and Animals Tell Us.
There was a time when even the
polar regions bloomed with many Of
the splendid and varied forms Of life
that now adorn the tropics.
The fossil remains of these ancient
forms preserved in the bosom of the
rocks carry us back perhaps millions
of years in the earths history and
show clearly what wonderful revolu-
tions the surface Of the globe has un-
dergone since the first plants and the
first animals appeared upon 1t.
Who would think Of meeting a rhi-
noceros nowadays on the prairies OF
northwestern Canada unless perhaps a
travelling menagerie should pass that
way? Yet at one time, as discoveries
of recent years prove. creature close
ly resembling the rhinoceros Of India
and Africa dwelt in that now compar-
atively cold. snowy and barren region.
Remains of these extinct ancestors
of an animal that in our day thrives
only in the tangled tropical forests and
under the hot equatorial sun have been
found buried in the Canadian rocks,
where now the cold blasts Of winter
blow over treeless plains aud sweep
the flanks of ice incrusted mountains.
The rhinoceros of that remote age
was no less formidable beast than
its descendants. for the skull of one Of
the skeletons discovered Is three feet
long. while some of its teeth are four
inches across.
The fossil remains Of many other
forms of animals have been found in
the same region within recent years.

Z Remarkable Edifee, the Whim Of Q
Wealthy Tea Planter.

Near the well known seaport of
southampton. England. there is a re-
markable edifice known as Petersen's
tower. The erection is all the more sim
gular because 1t marks the burying
place Of a certain John Petersen, a
wealthy tea planter.
The man appears to have been rath-
er an eccentric Individual, and in or
der to prove to the world his belief in
concrete as a building material set
about the construction Of this great
tower. The building took many years
to complete. but is entirely of con-
crete and by the time the final layers
had been placed had reached an alti-
tude Of more than 300 feet. 1t Is about
forty years since the tower was erect
ed. and its present condition is certain
ly justification of the faith of the
builder.
AS has been indicated. Petersen left
instructions that his body should be
placed.under the tower. and this was
accordingly carried out. Another de-
sire that the chamber at the summit
should contain light was defeated by
the firm stand which Trinity House.
the lighthouse authority. took on the
matter. Such an illumination would
have been visible for miles out to sea
and would naturally have proved very
misleading to sailors.-Scientific Amer
