DIARY OF FATHER TIME
In Roman Catholic days in Eng
land, and even occasionally in rural
parishes. of America, it used. to be a
custom to place in the center of a
hive of bees a small piece of the
sacred wafer suTTeptitiously carried
away from the communion. 1t was
called the little God Almighty" and
was supposed to insure the bees
from all harm and to increase their
power Of honeymaking.
According to Virgil, Jupiter en-
dowed the bee with it's marvellous
intelligence, because, when as an in
FAINT, he lay concealed from his faith
er's search in the Cretan cave, bees
fed him with honey. The Cretans
themselves came to his aid, dancing.
around the babe and rafting brazen
cymbals to drown the cries that
might have betrayed him. To this
latter legend is traced the still ex-
tant custom Of pursuing swarms of
bees with the clangor of keys on
pans and kettles in order to induce
them to settle down.

Satellites of Saturn,

Photometric studies Of six Of the
principal satellites of Saturn. made by
Guthnick OF the royal observatory OF
Berlin, indicate a confirmation Of the
previous conclusions Of other observ-
ers that several, and perhaps all. OF
these satellites behave like our OWL
moon In keeping always the same side
toward the planet around which they
revolve. In regard TO the satellite
named Tethys. an interesting hypothe-
sis Is offered to account for its very
marked changes of luminosity The
theory is that Tethys possesses the
form of a long eIlipsoid. the two prin-

FRONT STREET BUSINESS
MEN FAVOR A WHITE WAY

Interviews with several of the lead
ing business men this morning devel-
oped the evidence that Mankato for
a city of it's size and Importance is
very poorly lighted. All the bust
ness men spoke of small and less
important towns all around this city
that have their streets lighted much
better than Mankato. All of them
think that it is a matter of urgent
necessity that some system of better
lighting Mankato's' streets and max
ing Front street white way" be
installed J. B. Richards declares
that nothing will better advertise a
city than its lights. A stranger COM
ing into Mankato in the evening
would naturally be impressed if
Front street were great white
way" and when he left the town
he would talk about it. That is what
has brought to their notice the eX-
cellence of the street lighting in
other cities. Their up-to-date system
of lights have been talked about and
the city advertised accordingly. F..
Kron said that better lights were
necessary to make men invest mon
ey here. In making an investment
in the city speculator will take
into consideration the lighting of the
street on which building which
he wishes to buy is situated.

dark at night time. A trav-
cling man getting off train
here and coming. to the Saul
paugh corner and looking up North
Front street could not have a very
favorable opinion of that end of
town. At least this is the opinion of
men who have places of business on
North Front street, and some OF the
leading business houses are situated
there. Why should not that end OF
town be lighted to conform to the
business activity there? A. A. Zim-
norman circulated petition along
Front and Second streets from Null
berry to Washington streets and
every man he asked signed the peti-
ton. There were thirty-six business
men in this area that are extremely
enthusiastic in having more lights
installed. The petition stipulated
that four posts be installed on every
block, each post to have a cluster of
five lights The city was to pay for
the posts and lights and the Con-
sumer's Power company to furnish
the electricity
Business men are in favor of hav-
ing this matter taken up with the
city council with the end that
contract be entered into with the
Consumers Power company to fur
nish the electricity. Such an action
would be endorsed by the people.

st. Paul, February 19.-Denying
that his action in moving to reject
the woman's suffrage bill sent over
from the house last Friday was un-
precedented, Senator G. ii. Sullivan
rose to a question of personal privi-
lege in the senate yesterday and de-
clared that he had been held up to
the state as an object of ridicule and
disgrace by certain newspapers of
the state. He said that at the last
regular session when the bill pro-
viding for the election of United
States senators by popular vote was
sent from the senate to the house,
that Henry S. Rines, now speaker
moved that the bill be indefinitely
postponed. The senate measure pro-
vidng for the election of the United
States senator by popular vote was
killed by the house April 10, 1911.
Action Not Unprecedented.
"My action last Friday was not
unprecedented as many of the news
papers of the state claimed" said Mr..
Sullivan. 81 have been held up to
the public in ridicule and as an OBJ
ject of disgrace because of my mo-
ton to reject the woman's suffrage
measure last Friday. | want to set
myself right with this body and with
the state by saying that the state
ment that my motion to reject the
bill was unprecedented was not true.
Representative Rines, now speaker of
the house, two years ago made a
motion to indefinitely postpone the
senate bill providing for the election
of the United States senators by
popular vote without referring the
measure to a committee
Action Different; Effect Same.
While the action was somewhat
different, both his motion and mine
had the same effect, that of killing
the bill without allowing it to go
through the regular channels of COM
mittee investigation
Mr.. Rines' motion in 1911 had the
effect of forcing the senate to act
on the Keefe bill already passed by
the house on the same subject.
The house committee on judiciary
lodged the bill by Ernest c. Pless,
restoring capital punishment for mur-
der in the first degree and yesterday
reported the bill without recommen-
dation. The Pless bill vests the re-
sponsibility of imposing the death
penalty on the jury trying the case.

when it comes up for final passage.
