Expected to Name Commission.

President Wilson is expected to name
an Industrial commission this week He
taS narrowed the list from which. he will
make a selection so that final choice will
not be difficult. The President considers
the personnel Of the commission a most
important matter. He has found. he tells
visitors. a wealth of good material to Sc
lect from. and the greatest trouble in the
picking OF the men is in leaving off some
of those splendidiy qualified for service
President Taft sent the names of the
commission 10 the senate. but the demo-
Gratis prevented them being ratified hold

Jration comes in.

Says Public Ought to Know.

4 think that the public ought to know
the extraordinary exertions being made
by the lobby in Washington to gain
recognition for certain alterations of the
tariff bill. Washington has seldom seen
so numerous. so Industrious or SO in
sidious lobby. The newspapers are
being filled with paid advertisements
calculated TO msiead the judgment of
public men not only. but also the public
opinion of the country itself. There is
every evidence that money without limit
Is being spent to susta n this lobby and
10 create an appearance of a pressure OF
public opinion antagonistic to some of
the chief TENS of the tariff bill.
1T is of serious interest to the country
that the people at large should have no
lobby and be voiceless in these matters,
while great bodies OF astute men seek to
create an artificial opinion and to over
come the interests of the public for their
private profit. 1t Is thoroughly worth
the while of the people of this country to
take knowledge of this matter. Only
public opinion can check and destroy it.
THE overnment in a its branches
ought to be relieved from this intolera-
BILE burden. and this constant interruption
to the calm progress of debate. | know

Full of Misrepresentation"

The President. answering questions
asked him. said that some of the work of
the alleged lobby" might be legitimate,
but IL was so full of Misrepresentation as
TO deceive those not thoroughly posted
as to the real facts. He indicated that
this lobby was directing most of it's en-
orgies toward preventing free sugar. al
though the wool people and others are not
leaving undone whatever they regard pos
sible to bring about defeat of the pro-
visions of the Underwood bill applying tc
particular industries.
The President smilingly said the
lobbyists We're so thick ''you can
throw brick without hitting one and
/ certainly feel like throwing num-
Der of bricks"
President Wilson expressed renewed
confidence that the Underwood bill
would go through Congress with little
material amendment He reiterated
his steadily expressed belief that the
sugar industries in Louisiana. Porto
Rico and elsewhere will not he hurt
by free sugar If efficient agricultural
and business methods are used He
firmly believed that recent soil dis
coveries would add immensely TO the
production of beet and cane sugar
crops, and that il proper business
methods are reSorted to any loss re-
sulting from free sugar Will be over

nettle, in fact, which the ignorant dis

he had eaten nettles, slept in nettle

EMPTY TOMB AT ST. HELENA
Longwood House, Where Napoleon
Died, Is in Ruins and French Ask
That 1t Be Preserved.

Complaint is made in France that
the government of the republic is neg
lecting the house in which Napoleon
died and the tomb in which his body
was laid at st. Helena before removal
to the Church of ST. Louis at the In
valides.
In 1858 the Longwood house, in
which the emperor lived during his
exile, and the plot in the Valley or
Geraniums where his tomb was made
we're given by Queen Victoria to Ma
poleon Ill. for the French government,
which desired to maintain them as
lasting memorials. But of late years
little has been done to preserve either
the home or the sepulcher. The build
ing is falling into ruins, the farmers
of the neighborhood let their sheep
Craze in the valley. Visitors are few
It is believed that ere long a storm
will wreck the decaying building, and
then in all probability the caretaker
will be withdrawn and the land aban
doned to the farmer and the herds
man.
Sentiment will mourn over such sur
render of ground to utility, but it is in
evitable. In a world where the palace:
of Alexander and Caesar have crum
bled into nothingness, there can be nj
perpetuity for the homes of Napoleon
The Tuileries went to ashes long ago
why save Longwood?

Ic.as Are Old.

In 1914 the possibilities of the sub
marine were first propounded, while
from the very earliest times men
have conceived the idea of flying with
wings like birds. There is no reason
whatever to doubt the fact that
Archytas of Tarentum, about 394
years before the Christian era, con-
structed an automaton pigeon that
would fly. Turning to other latter day
inventions, as they are generally re-
garded. it might lie mentioned that
switchback railways we're constructed
more than a hundred years ago. and
looping the loop was sensation IN
Paris in 1893, while roller skating
which came up as a new invention
about forty years ago, was being in
dulged in by our forefathers as far
back as 1929.

New Phenomenon.

A new phenomenon has been OBJ
served by Professor Right to which he
gives the name of lono-magnetic rota-
ton. If a spark from condenser OF
considerable capacity is sent horizon
tally through a gas and two small YER
teal vanes of mica in the form OF
cross are suspended in the middle OF
the discharge by a fine>fiber attached
to the center of the cross, the spark
produces no rotation Of the cross. II.
however, a vertical magnetic field is
established in the gas, the cross TO
tates through a considerable angle II
he gas is air, and over a small angle
in other cases. Professor Right as
cribes this rotation to the bending OF
the paths Of the ions or electrons, and
to the additional protection which the
vanes afford each other against i'm
pacts from one side rather than from
the other in these circumstances. The
observed rotations indicate that the
effects of the positive ions are in gen
eral greater than those of the mega
tive.
