Of Concrete Buildings

1t has been shown in practice that
concrete buildings require less artt
fetal light than those of slow burning
mill construction. This is owing to
the reflection of light from the white
walls and ceilings and columns and
also to the fact that it is possible to
supply buildings of this character with
greater window area.

So great was the interest taken by the

there was little complaining. One

sixty, who came limping down the
street toward the mine. and from him
heard the first complaint Of the kind,

A peculiar fact about the silkworm

As a matter Of fact. the silkworm

ages that II would become extinct now

into slavery, the caterpillars crawl con-
tentedly over the narrow territory of
their feeding trays, and. though the
moths have wings. they have lost all
desire to fly. This slavery began In
China more than 4,5OO years ago.
Nevertheless all the worlds silk does

deposits this year in a novel manner

who is so heavily charged with mag

the man will not be divulged for
personal reasons. but he has been
retained by President ID. NJ Maxcy
Of a local bank, who is sponsor for
the statement.
This man, according to Mr.. Maxcy,
is so possessed of magnetism that
he can rub the blade of steel knife
across his palm and pick up ten
penny nails and other light steel ar
ticles with it as with horseshoe
magnet. He can burn the flesh of
another's hand by rubbing it and
is unable to carry a watch for any
length of time, as the works become
polarized.
He has frequently demonstrated
his power by locating water beneath
the surface. but this will be his first
real test of the ore finding. The base
of his operations will be the Guyana
range, in which there are no out
groupings and the body of ore lies
deep beneath the surface.

JUDICIAL BILL PASSES HOUSE
Measure Providing for Non-Partsan
Elections Adopted by Assembly
After Sp rted Debate.

Madison.-The Stern bill providing
for nonpartisan judicial primary NOM
nations was carried in the assembly
by vote Of SIS to 35.
Speaker Ingram, when the bill
came up for passage. called Assembly
man Mcconnell to the chair and took
the floor against it, stating there was
nenecessity for the bill. He tainted
the Milwaukee members with having
rua on a home rule platform and
then failing to bring this question to
the front.
One of the sensational incidents of
the debate was the declaration of
Assemblyman Long, democrat, that
he would not be "buncked or gagged"
"by any caucus action"
Mr.. Stern, in support of the bill,
expressed surprise that Speaker In
gram waited until the last moment
to oppose the bill AS to home rule,
Mr.. Stern said he had introduced a
home rule bill the first day Of the
session, and it might have passed the
house by this time had it not been for
the rules laid down by the committee
of which the speaker was an ex-officio
member.
The bill. instead of assisting special
interests, Mr.. Stern said, would pre-
vent them from controlling the judi
ciary.
