Qualified TO Practice


When John Hay was crossing the
Atlantic in 1865 on his way to Paris
to serve as secretary Of legation he
told the following anecdote to one Of
his fellow travellers On applying for.
admission to the bar of illinois he was
summoned to appear before commit
tee of prominent Chicago lawyers TO
be examined as to his qualifications
He went to the place appointed and
found the committee assembled, but
for long time they took no notice Of
the young candidate. but continued
talking vigorously together on various;
subjects. At last one of the lawyers
turning to him. said:
'Mr. Hay. what would you do if s.
client should come to you with such &.
case as this?" and proceeded to de
scribe very deliberately complicated
legal case.
IT should ask for retaining fee Of
$50" promptly replied Mr. Hay, and
tell him to call tomorrow
Mr.. Hay. you are admitted" said
the gentleman. and with hearty
laugh from all present the proceedings

Prevents Ships From Rolling.

A German has recently invented an
apparatus to prevent ships from roll
ing.
The apparatus consists Of U shaped
tanks extending through the hold of
the vessel from port to starboard.
These admit water. which rises and
falls as the ship rolls, the effect being
to overcome the rhythmical movement
Of the vessel The tanks have been
tested on two steamers plying between
German ports and Buenos Aires
These steamers in rolling showed a
list of eleven degrees on either side
before being equipped with the tanks.
With the latter in use the list was re-
duced to two degrees The passengers,
found that the invention added to their
comfort by steadying the ships.

American and British Tools.

In reference to the relative cost of
American and British heavy machine
tools the technical director Of one Of
the leading Belgian works states that
careful calculation based on the
prices paid to well known American
and a prominent English house shows
the charge per kilogram for boring
mills to be practically the same. He
adds that on the face Of it the Amert-
can machine would appear to be more
expensive. but the difference in price,
he found, was made up by the greater
weight in the American tool.

canada's Available Water Power.

According to official estimates made
available water powers of the Domin-
ion of Canada are capable of develop
ing energy representing more than 25,-
100000 horsepower. which If produced
from coal would represent a consump-
tion of more than $50. 100000 tons
per annum. at the rate of 90 tons OF
coal to the horsepower.

Greatest Rainfall In Eurone.

According to meteorological records.
the rainiest place in Europe is Crkvice.
in the mountains Of Dalmatia, behind
the bay of Cattaro The mean an
nual rainfall for the last twenty-five
years is 1876 inches. In the wettest
year recorded, 1901, 241r53 inches fell.
The record for Europe was once held
by Seathwaite, in Cumberland, with
its 1871 inches a year. The magnitude
of these figures is perhaps better real
lied when compared with the average
rainfall for the whole country, which
is about forty inches. or less than quar-
ter that of Crkvice. in Dalmatia. The
heaviest rainfall in the world is that
of Cherraponjee. on the Khasia hills.
200 miles north of the bay of Bengal,
where 475 inches fell in the year.

MUST LIVE
FULL, TIME
ON CLAIM

According to instructions given
Registers and Receivers of the u.
S. Land Offices a new ruling goes
into effect on and after Deem
ber |, next.
It has been the custom, when
making a five year proof, for the
entryman to have credit for the
six months following the making
of his entry, whether he had es-
tablished his residence upon the
land at the time of entry or six
months thereafter, thus securing
title to the land for a residence of
four years and six months.
Under the new ruling one must
prove residence for the term Of
five years, not four years and six
months. Samuel Adams, Acting
Secretary, has the following to
say regarding the recent ruling:
After most careful and ma
ture consideration of this matter
| feel it my duty to disregard the
erroneous practice heretofore OBJ
tanning in your office and to di-
rect that you exact of homestead
entryman proof of residence for
the full period of five years, as
required by the statue, before the
same can be approved as a basis
for the issuance of patent there
on.
Because Of the long practice
heretofore prevailing, I believe it
right and proper to give ample
time for notice of the eontem-
plated change before putting the
same into effect. [ have, there
fore, to advise you that in all in
stances where ordinary final proof
is submitted under the homestead
laws on or after the 1st day of
December next, the law as above
interpreted be followed.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Sept, l8.-
Considerable difficulty will be
caused by an opinion received by
Territorial Secretary Nathan
Jaffa from Washington, D. G.,
that the surplus Of $4,000 left
from the constitutional conven-
ton cannot be used to pay the
expenses Of the state election in
November, and that every por-
ton of the expenses must be
borne by the new state, lnclud-
ing even the publishing of the
governors s proclamation. As no
appropriation is available the
territorial authorities are at a
loss how to pay the printing OF
poll and registration books, legal
advertising and for other Incl
dentaIs of the first state election.

There is a move on foot to es.
tablish creamery in Estancia
in the not far distant future.
This is move in the right di-
rection. At the present time a
small factory could care for the
work and would be a source Of
sure and steady income for the
farmers. No expensive plant nor
building would be necessary for
some time to come, With the
splendid forage crop which is
now being harvested throughout
the valley, a creamery would be
a paying institution from the
start. The greatest objection to
marketing butter at present is
the non-uniformity in the grade.
With g creamery this would be
out of the question and q good
market near at hand would be
had, Yesterdays Albuquerque
