he sends up his bright light and runs

Animals Respond To

A CCORpING to facts recently dis
"A closed by q Scottish naturalist,
there are certain animals that
fall under the spell Of the sea, and
travel in some cases for hundreds OF
miles TO answer It's call, and upon
reaching their destination, push on in
to the waters and are destroyed, The
little brown, molelike jennings fur

Ole All-tE1e-Y Year. r 0Qlr1G1 COm@ress

Southern Representatives who have
found living ten months of the year
in Washington-on a salary originally
intended to cover less than half that
length of time-anything but pleas
ing.
When Congress ran one short and
one long term, year in and year out,
and when the United States had not
reached out and grabbed or annexed
quite such widely contrastve terri
tory, with equally contrastive dele
gates, living in Washington was
neither so difficult nor expensive.
Then the short term was from De-
cember to March, or April, with ad-
| journmeDt. The following year, of
the same term, the session would eX-
tend from December we'll into the
late spring, and frequently 1t lasted
as late as the end of July. But then
! 1t really ended and Congressman
packed up their belongings from va
rious boarding houses and hotels

or an apartment by the year-and
hot-footed 1t back to where breezes
blew and families waited.
In 1898 President Cleveland origi-
mated the custom of extra sessions;
at least, there had not been one for
a long time until he took OF what
Republicans ironically term Demo
cratic opportunity" and called one.
He established a beautiful summer
homo out on one Of the roads near
Washington and dispensed hospitality
and was as cool and comfortable as

Berkshires, Just how cool the men

saieth not; but it Is significant that
during that session bills were rushed
through with marvellous celebrity and
the flag hauled down by August first.
Injuries Chance OF Reelection.
President Mckinley called an extra
session in 1897, thereby causing those
Members accustomed to a cool eli
mate much physical discomfort as
well as a complete disarrangement
OF all financial arrangements by keep
ing them in Washington until the
middle of July. After that Congress
drooled along very placid!y until 1909,
from which the year-'round SEES
sion has been a recognized feature
Of WASHINGTON. And now observant
Members are wondering how long 1t
will be until the extra session will
adjourn on the day that the regular
session meets
For the very fact that Senator
or Representative is so necessary to
his District as to cause his almost
permanent residence in Washington
really initiates against his coming

he has outlined and begun: the hard

less likely he Is TO be reelected!

and millions of dollars worth OF prop

for sea navigation. 1t Is a curious CO.

wreck. The medicine chest Of the life
saving department Is always at the
service OF any forlorn person who may
need aid in an emergency. All in all,
the men composing this service are
busy men. As the sea and lake coasts
Of the United States, including Alaska,
extend more than 10000 miles, It
takes two hundred and ninety life
saving stations to cover them. The
Atlantic has about two hundred, the
Great Lakes have forty-fve and Pa
cinc Coast and Gulf OF Mexico have
eight each.
Sometimes these stations are far
apart. At other times they are in a
continuous chain. so that they can
communicate with each other. 1t is
generally supposed that the Pacific
Ocean Is rough, yet as a matter of
fact It's American coast is far less
perilous than that of the Atlantic. On
the Great Lakes there are certain
places, like Keweenaw Point, in Lake
Superior, that every sailor breads Ac-
cording to surveys the water near this
peninsula IL 1900 feet deep, and there
Is a movement even when the sea is
calm. somewhat like a whirlpool, that
will carry a piece of board around in
circle. Sailors call this the grave
yard OF the Great Lakes, and well
they may, for aside from the danger
OF this whirlpool there is not far away
a submerged mountain that comes al
most to the surface of the water.
