OUR SUPREME COURT.
Its Changes In Numbers Since It Was
First Organized.

It's Changes In Numbers Since II Was
First Organized.
As originally made up the supreme
court consisted OF u chief justice and
FIVE associate justices. In 1907 sixth
associate was added when a new dis
trict had been created to take in the
new western territory comprising the
states of Ohio, Tennessee and Ken
lucky. In 1887 the expansion OF the
nation westward again called for an
increase in the court, and two more
associate justices were added.
In 1858 a ninth associate Justice was
needed, but FIVE years later, when ap-
preaching vacancies made It likely that
President Andrew Johnson might have
the appointment Of the new members,
congress, then in open antagonism TO
the chief executive, reduced the num-
Der to seven, thus preventing him from
making an appointment.
This number two years later, after
the Inauguration Of President Grant,
was increased to eight associate jus
tees and a chief justice, and as then
constituted the court has remained
The last alteration in the court was
declared at the time to be due to pc.
litical reasons as clearly as the reduc
ton in 1858, as the addition OF new
member made it possible for the court
to reverse itself in the legal tender de
cisions.-New York Post.

A TOWER OF SKULLS.
Grewsome Monument Erected by tbs

Grewsome Monument Erected by tbs
Turks In SerVia.
A strange monument Of modern bar
barism still survives at Nish, in south
east Servia. During the war of indie
pendence in 1909 the ServIan garrison
here exploded a powder magazine and
persisted therein rather than fall into
the hands Of the Turks.
a battle had previously taken place,
and the Turks COMMUNICATED their
victory by erecting n rude tower, ora
mented with the heads OF their enc
mics Old people viii tell you that
there were once 1000 heads, but as
the tower was never more than TWEEN
ty-five feet high this is probably an
eXagGeration.
Lamartine and other travellers relate
that they saw hair still cIinginG TO the
skulls, which must hive formed a
gTewsome spectacle During many
years visitors were in the habit OF
carrying of skulls as souvenirs. but
when Nish became Servian the remain
der were taken away for decent bur
fal, all save a few that were too deep
ly imbedded.
In recent years the remains Of the
tower have been covered over with a
roof to protect them against the ele
ments, and they are regarded as a
pious object OF patriotic pilgrimage

Biological Expedition Now on Its Way
Home With Many Scientific Treas
ures and After Finding Col
ony Of Prosperous Boe-s.

New York--After having passed six
months devoted to scientific explora-
ton In the wilds OF interior Patagonia,
the members Of the Amherst college
biological expedition are homeward
| bound from Buenos Ayres to New
York by way of London, bringing with
them many important contributions to
science and fund Of Interesting ex-
porieDces.
The expedition, which left for Pata-
gonia on July 3 last, is in charge Of
Prof. F. b. LOOMS OF the chair OF
biology In Amherst college. His asso-
ciates are Waldo Shumway, Amherst
1911: Layton Turner, Amherst, 1912,
and William Stein.
Letters recently received from Pro
fessor LOOMS by his associates in
Amherst and from Mr.. Turner by his
mother report that the expedition has
discovered some entirely new biolog-
ical specimens and gathered much val.
liable geological data. 1t has shipped
to the college four more or less COM
plete prehistoric skeletons, Is skulls
and a large number of jaws, which in
clude fine specimens OF the Eocene-
horse, elephant, rodent, primate,
notostylopus and a large variety OF
other specimens taken from the bone
beds discovered by the party.
Some of the most valuable additions
to geological knowledge are the rich
marine deposits which the Amherst
men discovered, In some instances at
levels thousand feet above the sea.
Amongs these are specimens of petri-
fed trees. some six feet in diameter,
which are supposed to have been
driven in by Atlantic storms of the
prehistoric ages. In one spot they
found what appeared like an entire
raft of these huge trees. Members
OF the party also collected the fossil
remains of marine life, such as
sharks teeth, alllgators and turtles.
from beds hundreds of feet above the
present sea level Shells of bivalves
similar to the oyster, but foot or
more in diameter. were found in the
same locality.

Satisfactory Floor Stain.

The boards had become old-looking
from being scrubbed and needed a
stain, so l took olive green dye and
applied with a broad brush, using the
dye as hot as possible. This, of
course, dries as rapidly as though the
floor were only being washed. If
wax is used the effect is very good
and the floor is also saved from wear
I take a quarter of a pound of paraffin
and dissolve in a pint of turpentine,
putting the turpentine in a double
boiler and leaving it in the hot water
while l used it, to keep the parafiine
liquid. This is painted on just as the
dye was done and hardens as quickly.
In small houses it is very hard TO
give up the use of a room for some
days to allow the floors to be newly
finished. but this plan may be easily
followed, and is most economical.
