The Range Of Vision.

Data have been gathered in Ger
many with reference to the distance
at which persons may be recognized
by their faces and figures, says the
Scientific American. If one has good
eyes, the Germans claim, one cannot
recognize person whom he has seen
but once before at greater distance
than % meters (S2 feet). If the per-
son is well known to one, one may
recognize him at from so to 100 me-
tiers, and IL It is a member of ones
family, even at $50 meters. The
whites Of the eyes may be seen at
from q to % meters, and the eyes
themselves at 70 to 70 meters. The
different parts Of the body and the
slightest movements are distinguish.
able at 81 meters. The limbs show at
1872 meters. At $40 meters a moving
man appears only as an indistinct
form, and at 720 meters, 2,361.6 feet,
the movements Of the body are no
longer visible.

with the Jersey friend that the judge
escaped from the house. Loud yowls
coming from the orchard near by
guided the searchers to him. They
led him back to the house and sug.

acquiesced, but insisted upon telling
his experience. THE trees were
bowling and waving their arms" said
he, "and the wind sang through the

WHERE THE PROTECTION GOES

Schedule K is. the particular
protection of the American Wooden
Company and is labor. That COM
pauy is the particular support Of
Lawrence, Mass, where it has the
largest worsted spinning and
weaving mills in the world. At
average wages of from Sc to So a
week the labor profits of this pro-
lection have been under violent
question. Of the capital profits of
the protection an impressive
silence reigns.
This. worsted combination so
favored. by the inequalities of the
tariff schedule was formed at a
time when common stock was is
sued to capitalize no value except
expectations, and it doubtless fol-
lowed the rule. 1t has regularly
paid seven per cent on the pre-
ferred shares and flas yet it has
paid nothing on th> common, it has
earned much. 1t has in some years
earned as much as ten per cent on
the common stock, additional to
seven per cent on the preferred.
1t has accumulated a surplus of
above $4,000, 200 and it has had
earnings to spare for buying up
large amounts of the common
stock in the open market.
The profitable potection to trust
capital from this favorite tariff
schedule would seem to be clear.
But whree can be found the pro
teton tn labor when trade in labor
is so free as to fill the mills of
Lawrence with immigrant work
men who now largely make up the
mobs which fill it's streets.-N. Y.

SEVEN HUNDRED
AND FIFTY AEROPLANES
IN UNITED STATES

Statistics compiled by Ernest
L. jones and published, in the
current number of Aeronautics,
just published. show that during
the last year $50 aeroplanes have
been constructed in the United
States. Of this total only about
one-fourth were built by aeron-
autical manufacturing concerns
the remaining three-qrarters be-
ing the handiwork of individuals
or of shops not engaged regularly
in aeroplane construction. Most
of the aerial crafts were modelled
after Bleriot, Curtiss and Farman
machines. During the last year
aviation meets were held in 292
cities and towns of the United
States. mostly under the auspices
of four large exhibition flight COM
panies. flying a total of hours con-
stituting 814 days. ..-. ,.,.-.

A petition is being circulated
over the state asking Congressman
Roberts to assist in passing a law
making the breaking in Of freight
cars, baggage or express, a federal
offense. The present law is re.
garded as insufficient, as it is bar
to gain Jurisdiction. The new law
would fasten the crime on the
offender at any point where caught
and the trial would follow at such
point. In other words. it would
take the cases out of the hands of
state or county authorities and
bring them before federal judges.
Churchill Stan dard.
w. M. Smith. editor of the

fatally wounded yesterday morn
ing by P. M. Doyle, a leading
merchant of that place. Smith
has been active in fighting the
saloons and another paper was
started by Doyle and the saloon
men to break up his business. This
caused bad blood between the
factions. Smith and Doyle met
yesterday morning in the postofFi ce

blows. Suddenly Doyle drew a
pistol and fred two sEots at Smith.
The first shot struck Smith in the
head and the next hit him in the
stomach Both shots are fatal.
Feeling is high in Truckee over
the shooting.

SPECIAL SESSION CALLED

A special dispatch from the
Reno Gazette this afternoon says
that Governor Oddie has issued a
aall for special session of the
legislature to convene at Carson
Carson City on February 23d. The
session is called to provide for a
state loar to enable the state to
transact its business on cash basi S
and to provide for state tax
levy. ....
From the above it seems that
Governor Oddie has been able to
resist the pressure for other
matters to be brought before the
special session. In this, we think
he has shown good judgement.
If the members of the legislature
are governed by the right spirit,
the special session should last but
a few days. If it is prolonged
beyond a reasonable time useless
burden will be placed upon the
taxpayers. Business, not politics
should control the member of both
branches of the legislature.

HAULING HOUSES ENTIRE
as MILES FROM RAWAIDE

The transportation of abandoned
houses from Rawhide to this point
is developing into quite an in
dustry. Almost every freighting
outfit coming up from the camp
brings with it either a 12xl6
shack. shipped entire and chained
onto the wagon or else a load of
surface lumber, the remains of
some structure which has been
knocked to pieces for ca sier trans
portation. "..
This secondhand lumber, which
is usually in pretty fair shape
commands from $40 to SIP per
1000, ss against $25 for new
lumber in the local yards.
One man in town has just closed
deal for the transfer of 3-room
house from Rawhide, which he gets
for 1850, freight included. The
same building here. erected of
new material, would cost couple
of hundred. .... :
The freighters willingly engage
in the business. since it gives them
profitable return load.-Fallon

day will be announced later.
