has been in Congress very long,
he discovers that practically all
legislative work is done in commit
tee or in caucus. The proceedings
on the floor which prove so inter
esting to the occupants of the
crowded galleries are frequently
only the fireworks displays to cele-
brate the achievement.
1t is because of this that some
OF us have been insisting that all
caucuses and committee meetings
shall be open to the press and pub
lie. We want "the breezes of
public opinion" to blow through
the places where the course of
public business is fixed. We have
been fairly successful in our fight.
Practically all the COMMITTEES hold
open meetings now, and while the
Democratic caucus is still held be-
hind closed doors, the journal of
its proceedings is carefully kept
and, together with record votes, is
given to the press.
There is disposition in some
quarters to condemn the caucus
and to demand its abolition.

A GOVERNMENT OF PARTIES
This is a government Of parties,
and will probably continue to be
during our time. The great polit-
ical parties in convention formu-
late governmental programs and
make more or less specific prom
ises to the voters. When a man
accepts a nomination on a party
ticket he binds himself to the gov
ernmental program-or platform
pledges-of that party.
1t is self-evident that the indi-
vidual, however able or brilliant he
may be, cannot hope to execute
the program to which he is pledged
without the aid of other individuals
who are bound by the same obliga-
ton.
Such situation leads naturally
to a caucus or conference of those
who agree on certain principles. |

should not be binding on those
who participate in it-unless its
findings outrage the conscience OF

By way of illustration; The
Democratic party promised to re-

We did not submit to the people
the exact form of the laws which
we hoped to place on the statute
books; but we laid down certain
ear-cut, easily-understood princi-
pies. The details were left to the
party's representatives in Congress
and they entered a caucus and
fought out their differences. When
they secured bills which, to their
minds, substantially redeemed the

There is one sure and certain way for

the method we adopted as the re-
suits we achieved.
If we had refused to caucus and
had attempted to frame the bills
on the floor of the House, our
terms of office would have expired
before We concluded the task, and
then probably, no one would have
been willing to acknowledge the
patch work product.
HOW THE CAUCUS WORKS
The Democratic caucuses are
held in the hall Of the House of
Representatives. Congressman A.
Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania,
the man who drove Boss Guffey
out of Democratic politics in the
Keystone State, is the presiding
officer. Bills are debated with all
the formality which marks their
consideration in the House itself.
Speeches are limited to FIVE min
utes, but an extension of time may
be secured by unanimous consent,
and this is seldom or never refused.
Every member is given ample OPP
portunity to present as many
amendments as he sees fit and to
discuss them practically as long as
he wishes. We caucused for two
weeks on the tariff and even longer
on the currency bill.
There is an utter absence of the
usual machine methods. If the
leaders were to resort to the "Steam
Roller" there would be an imme-
diate revolt.
Before | left home for Washing
ton, men who pretended to know
ledge of how things were done at
the Capital warned me that | must
be prepared to either make my
peace with the party Organization"
or declare war on it. | WAS told
that if displayed independence l
would be punished by some mys-
terious power. | was also assured
that a new member was not sup
posed to participate in the business
of the caucus or the House and
that the older members expected
him to take a rear seat and stay
there.
All of which is rubbish.
Undoubtedly in the old days
there WAS machine" or "organi-
zation" in the House, and it did
undertake to punish rebels" That
WAS when Gear" Reed and Uncle
Joe Cannon welded the gavel, and
Presidents threatened to take the
postoffices away from the Insurg-
ent Congressman. Those methods
went to the junk heap with the
election of Clark as Speaker and
Underwood as majority floor leader.
FREEDOM OF MEMBERS
Now every member knows he is
at liberty to speak his piece" as
he jolly well pleases, and that no
one will call him to account. So
far as the postotlices and other
federal patronage are concerned
they are distributed among the
Democrats without regard to their
attitude toward the party leaders.
And the new members are not
sitting in the rear seats, either. In
fact they are away down front do
ing most of the talking, and acting
like they had been in the House
all their lives. The most delight
ful feature of the whole thing is
that the old members applaud and
encourage them.
} Why, the new currency bill was
drafted by committee made up
almost entirely of new men, and
they directed the debate in the

Ninety years ago the Egyptian gov

that the British engineers. headed by
William Willcocks, brought forth the So
luton by proposing to dam the Nile at
Assouan The project was too ambitious
to secure financial support until Sir Ern-
est cassel. in 1898. provided the necessary
funds. The first dam was begun Feb
ruary II, 1893, and completed by Decem-
ber 1902, a year ahead of time. 1t is the

LIGHTNING POWER
Would Require $4,000 Horsepower ts
Reproduce 1t for Second

From the Electric News.
If is hardly possible to use instruments
for the purpose of figuring the forces OF
lightning, yet there are many other ways
of calculating familiar to every mathe-
matician. The amount of light given by
single lightning flash is enough to IL
illuminate an area of two miles square.
The bolt itself would be visible several
miles further off, but the remotest part
of the region mentioned would have as
much light as would be given by
candle-quite enough to read by. To
produce such a light it would be neces-
sary to expend 1900 horse power for a
second. These figures appear very large.
but the time is short. The flash might
be for only on one-thousandth part of
a second, but the impression on the eye
would continue for a tenth of second
anyway Figured down to an exact hour
this amount of force would mean only
about four horse power.
According TO the engineer, lightning
flashes usually occur within thunder
clouds and only rarely from one ordi
nary cloud to another, or from cloud
to the ground. They seem to follow the
rapid condensation of vapor in the air
and TO be caused by that phenomenon.
The kind of electricity formed in
thundercloud is not like that which is
produced by electrical machinery. Light
ming is static electricity, the same kind
as is produced by. rubbing amber with
silk. When a body like a brass globe
is charged with static electricity the
charge stays on the surface of it. The
quantity sof a full charge is limited by
the area over which it can spread.
When large number of vapor particles
unite to form raindrop their electrical
charges are combined, but there is not as
much surface on 81 big drop as on the
many particles which went into it. Con-
seauently there is more electricity than
the drop can hold. 1t must hunt up 9TH
er accommodations, either in some clou1
or on the earth. Flashes in the clouds
are often several miles long. These
flashes are composed of chain of small
flashes. The remedying of one over
charged cloud by discharge into another
increases the load of that cloud and a
number of discharges are needed to even
things up.
Lightning discharges from one cloud to
another or on the earth differ greatly in
force. Some lightning bolts are very
heavy and splinter trees into toothpicks,
destroy buildings and fuse rocks. Others
are more mild and do little or no dam
age
The question OF how the static cleo
.ricity gets in the clouds is very difficult
to answer. one theory is that il is ger-
Grated by the evaporation of water by the
suns rays Another that static dis
charges are continually taking place from
the earth into the air and are there
readily collected by particles OF moisture.
When the particles of moisture eondense
they form heavy thunderclouds. and this
formation of raindrops causes the light
ming flashes as explained.

grants pensions 70 some of them when

William Sly. the secretary of this So
ciety on being applied to- gave the
rather surprising information that
Mary Ann Lancaster's period of serv-
ice, though creditable, was far from
being a record smashing one in this
country, anyhow.
1T may interest you to know said
Sly, that we. have recorded in our
books the case of one domestic who
remained with a family for 81 years
and of another who stayed in one
place for 70. The first of these was
Susan OHagan, of Lisburn, near Bel
fact who died in June. 1909. at tho
age of 107 and who 81 years was
in the service of three generations of
a family named Hall at Lisburn. Her
case is the most extraordinary that
has come to our notice The holder Of
the next best record, of rs years, was
held by Hannah Cock, who lived with
a family named Norris, in Leicester
shire. for that length of time.
"Other striking records" Sly went on
are those of Marianne Stammers, who
died at IS after completing her sew
entieth year OF service in the family
of the late Henry Hoare, the banker,
and that of Mrs. Alexander, who was
housekeeper to Lord Ashcombe for 90
years. Viscount Clifden's late butler,
too. was in his lordship's service for
half century"
Sly says that over 100000 women
are now employed az servants in the
United Kingdom. Quite a number of
them, out of their hard earned saw
ings, contribute to the funds of the
\ benevolent institution which has re-
ceived in legacies from servants near
ly s25oO and in trust funds over s12,-
600. One supporter. a butler, left suf-
fcient sum to provide for a pension
of s115 a year to tho oldest female
beneficiary, while another servant left
$4,000 in trust for two pensions for
NEEDY "slaveys." One pensioner of the
| institution who died lately at the age
of 1o1 had received benefits amount
| ing to $3.50.
