Leaders Bent On. Carrying Out

Washington, July 21.-With debate
on the tariff bill now under way in
the senate, leaders are making plans
for the consideration of the admins.
tration banking and currency bill. II
is the purpose Of the leaders to pass
the banking bill in the house just
about the time vote is taken on the
tarin bill In the senate. Then 1t is
hoped that the senate will buckle
down to the consideration OF banking
reform, while the tariff bill is being
whipped into shape in conference.
While the attitude Of the senate to.
ward the banking bill has not been
defined. President Wilson and his ad
visers appear to be confident that the
senate can be induced to sit long
enough to pass the banking bill. This
means session that will run well
into the fall. but all concerned seem
to be bent on carrying out the admin.

EGGS FRIED ON ICE.
BY the Use Of . Peculiar but Simple
Principle Of Electricity.

BY the Use Of . Peculiar but Simple
Principle Of Electricity.
Frying eggs on ice is entirely feasible.
as was demonstrated at recent elec.
trical exhibition given by the Dniver-
sity of Illinois. The eggs were placed
in an ordinary frying pan, and the
frying pan was placed on a pile Of
cracked Ice on a kitchen table. Eggs
were fried nicely. though 1t took longer
than when a stove Is used. No wires
were In sight The frying pan had no
electrical connections and could be
taken up and replaced at will.
Under the table was the secret. m
electromagnetic Even with the secret
divulged. the trick was wonderful
enough. for between the frying pan
and the magnet was pile Of Ice and
the board table top. neither Of which
was affected excepting by the heat sent
down from the frying pan.
A peculiar but simple principle of
electricity was used. An electromag-
net. as IL generally known, Is horse
shoe shaped bar Of iron. with coils Of
wire wound round each arm Of the
horseshoe
When n current of electricity IL sent
through the coils Of wire the horseshoe
becomes magnet and will attract and
firmly grip any bit Of iron placed near
the ends Of the arms or poles. This
applies to direct current Of electric
ity. II, however. an alternating cur.
rent of electricity Is sent through the
coils any iron near the magnet poles
Is heated by what are called Teddy
currents"
In the egg frying trick the magnet
was placed under the table. and IN
alternating current was sent through
the coils. Saturday Evening Post

REPLY OF JAPAN IS
|. EXPECTED THIS WEEK
Answer to Bryan's Letter on
Land Bill Protest May
Ask Test of Law.

Japan will reply early this week 20
the Secretary Of States letter bearing
on the Japanese protest agains: the
California anti-alien land bill, accord
ing to Indications today. The Japanese
embassy, however, refused today to set
any definite date for Submission to the
State Department. and declined to give
any intimations as to the nature Of the
rejoinder.
State Department circles are inclined
to scout the theory that the Japanese
government will seek to have an amend
ment made in the American naturaliza-
ton laws as a solution Of the present
problem.
The embassy declared today that the
proposal of methods used in the Cana
dian settlement of Japanese problems
has not been made at the embassy.
This method, in general, calls for the
separation of the two races in the in
terest of permanent peace. and the cy-
clusion Of all but the travelling and
student classes.
Japanese representatives in Canada
made no objection to the legislation. In
case such LEGISLATION were urged In this
country, 1t Is believed, that the pro-
for both countries.
Indications today point to an early
test Of the California land law after II
becomes operative in August, but even
this course Is not likely to end the
Japanese protest In case the courts hold
that the law is constitutional, and does
not violate any treaty.
