Historic spot NJ Ems.


On the riverside promenade at Ems
there is stone inscribed '13 JUL. 1870.
8 Uhr 10 Min. Morgens." This marks
the exact spot where Wilhelm I. and
Count Benedetti terminated the inter
view which led the French to declare
war After the Franco Prussian war
the old emperor often returned to Ems
On one occasion his doctor mentioned
that the municipality wished to com
nemorate the interview with Benedict
ii, which they considered the most
memorable event in the annals of the
town. He was instructed to meet the
emperor on the promenade by the
Lain at a. m. the following day. Will
helm then said: During my lifetime
let nothing be erected to recall that
sorrowful struggle. When am dead
do as you please. Since you wish to
know where dismissed Benedetti it
was here under this tree at 9:1O in the
morning" And, saying this, he placed
his foot on the spot where the monu-
ment now stands.

Our Nationai capltaji;;'

Ono thing Learned during q recent
visit to Europe was that the average
life Of a stone building is not more than
100 years, said builder. Naturally
u was interested In construction work
and gave more attention to this part
OF Europe than did to the examina-
don OF art galleries and the tombs Of
famous men. The buildings Of Europe
are no better in their construction than
those OF this country. don't think I
saw q building in Europe that is bet
ter built than the capitol in Washing
ton. In nearly all OF the older cities of
England Inoticed that the town halls.
which had been constructed in many
cases 500 years ago, were beginning to
collapse. All Of them had been patch
ed up, and it was evident that they
would not last great many years
longer. I do not think there is any
doubt that the capitol building in
Washington will be standing 500 years.
from now ii it is not destroyed, but 1t
will not last longer, nor will the treas.

The Wonders Of Color.

A small and simple experiment can
be made by any reader which will go
far to, convince him or her what a
debt we owe to color and what a good
thing it is we have sunlight. which
enables our eyes to take advantage OF
the beautiful hues Of nature. Make a
room quite dark and then burn some
carbonate of soda in the flame of a
bunsen gas burner 1t will burn with
an orange, yellow light sufficiently
strong to illuminate everything in the
room. but you will realize with sud
den shock that, bright though the light
is. all distinctions of color have van
ished. Only light and shade remain.
A crimson carnation, a blue violet. a
red tablecloth, a yellow blind-all look
gray or black or white. The faces Of
those present look positively repulsive,
for all: natural color has disappeared.
No other, experiment will so well con-
vince those who have witnessed it
how great a. loss would be that of our
sense for color. 81

The Lerot and the Snake,

Every one has heard Of the remarka-
BILE combats Of the Indian mongoose
with venomous snakes. in which little
rikki-tikki-tayi comes off victor. The
fact that the mongoose invariably sur
wives has led to the suggestion that it
is immune to snake poison. Other ami
mails said to be immune are the pig
and the hedgehog. The experiments
of British naturalists show that .an
animal of the dormOuse family must
be added to the list of the immune.
This animal is known as the lerot and
is said to fight 6ercely with vipers.
Large doses OF viper's poison We're In.
jected into one lerot, from which in.
lection no i'll effects followed. On one
occasion a. lerot was bitten badly in
the eye by viper, and no signs OF
poisoning occurred: There can, it is:
thought, be no doubt that the lerot is
immune to snake poison. =

3Talkinn Canariea..

Talking canaries are a great rarity,
but several authenticated instances are
on record: At Norwood, England, in
1858 a lady had a canary bird which
began by repeating a word which its
mistress had often used to it IF Kissie,
kissie' and by following the word III,
by an imitation Of the sound Of a kiss.
After 4 time the bird repeated other
words until It had a large ocabulary
of phrases. one of which consisted of
FIVE words. Again, In 1863, talking
canary was exhibited in Bath. with a
vocabulary such as is generally taught
to parrots, and another talking canary
was exhibited for a few weeks in this
country, but it unfortunately caught
cold and died. In Germany and the
sTyrol canaries are taught to initiate
the notes Of other birds and whistle
simple tunes, and the words which il
initiates may be regarded as mere
development or variant Of its musical
notes. ..S :ss. S -5..zss5

Many turfmen who were legislated

in the list Of winning owners IN
France, and their racing establish
ments are spoken of as the most per,
feet of their kind to be found in any
country. Herman B. Duryea, who has
Just finished his first season on the
French turf, has only eight horses IN
his stable, trained by the American
Murphy, who was formerly foreman
in the stable of David Gideon. All on
his number are winners, some Of them
having also won races ut the principal
English meetings. Gene Leigh still
has the largest stable in France, 1870
horses being housed in his barns. The
majority Of these are not Of the stake
variety, but at that they have won q
large number Of races.
Tom Welsh took possession Of his
new training quarters for J. e. Widen'

with and half score Of high priced

hand with regard to the Widener es7

could be- desired, with accommodar

leased by Widener for term Of

THE BANKING LAW.

With the passage of assembly bill No. 173,
introduced by Coke Of Lincoln county, the one
meritOrious act of the late session of the legis-
lature was accomplished. This act alone almost
made up for the many things that had been
neglected by the body which adjourned sine die
yesterday. The citizens of the entire state, es-
pecially those of Tonopah, feel indebted to
Mr.. Coke for the introduction of the measure
and grateful to the legislature for adopting it.
Had Coke not, at later date, introduced the
bill which called for the taxing of druggists
5000 for the handling of alcohol he would have
been the hero Of the session
With the new banking law in effect Mr.
Eugene Howell, cashier of the Tonopah Bank
ing Corporation, will assume charge of the State
Bank & Trust Company and of the Nye &
Ormsby County banks. Mr.. Howell, in the ca
pacty OF state bank examiner will be aided in
this work by the state banking board That
the bank examiner will egislate the affairs of
the defunct institutions to the best possible adj
vantage and in the interest of the depostorS,
goes without saying Mr.. Howell is well known
throughout the state, in banking circles, while in
Tonopah he is one of the foremost citizens. He
enjoys the entire confidence of the public and
it may be depended upon that that confidence
will not be abused
Under the new law the receivers of the two
erstwhile local banking institutions go down
and out. A fact that should cause rejoicing in
the hearts of all who were unfortunate enough

chance Of recovering little of his hard-earned
coin. The money will all stay at home instead
of going to Reno and Carson.
just how much is left in the wrecked banks
for the benefit of depositors it is impossible, at
the present time, to estimate. However, what
is left is theirs and they will get it. In the
future it is believed that dividends will be thick
and larger than they nave in the past Not
since April 10, 1909, has a dividend been paid
and that only of five Observation-Disclosures
the fact that considerable of revenue has been
forthcoming to the receiver just what has
been done with the $4,000 paid by the Elks for
their building, just what has become of the
$4,000 which recently secured for block

rents from the State Bank & Trust building in
Tonopah and the one in Carson, are questions
that it will be up to the receiver to answer as
soon as the states representatives take hold oe

after due consideration, he will afix his sig

for some reason the congregation could not be

TAX CONSTITUTIONAL.

has been affirmed by the federal supreme court
Hence it will have to be paid. The income tax
is coming indeed, it is more than likely that if
the present supreme court would have affirmed
the constitutonality of the income tax provision
Of Wilson German tariff act had that measure
been brought before it. The court divided al
most equally on the proposition when it was
declared unconstitutional, only one majority tax
ing that view of the case. Justice Hughes is
not opposed to an income tax, but is opposed to
the wording of the amendment that has been
submitted to the states His objections as stat
ed to the New York legislature, were not against
levylng an income tax, but to empowering the
national government to tax incomes derived
from the interest on state, county and municipal
bonds. The trend of all recent judicial construc-
ton, however, is toward the enlargement of the
taxing power of the states as well as the nation
