Iron Lost Daily by Rust

FROM the CnlcaBO tribune.
One large railway system suffers loss
of more than IS tons of metal daily due
solely to the effect of rust. Thus far,
the only known preventive is to keep the
metal surface always covered with a
suitable paint. Some idea of the costli-
ness of this remedy, however, may be
gained from the fact that it requires
about $4,000 annually to paint one large
railway bridge alone. A typical case of
this kind is the Brooklyn bridge, upon
which corps of painters is constantly
employed, as the weather makes re-
painting of one end of this large struc-
ture necessary before the workers have
reached the other Although experiments
have demonstrated that pure iron sur
rounded by oxygen does not rust and
that some acid, especially carbonic acid,
is necessary for the production of rust,
the secret of manufacturing rustless steel
and iron remains to be discovered.

Readers of Poetry

He finds that when set to study a poet

CLAIMS NO BIBLICAL
FOUNDATION FOR
DAY OF JUDGMENT

Philadelphia April 1s.-That there is no
biblical foundation for the story of the
final day of Judgment was declared by
Professor Paul Haupt of Johns Hopkins
university in an address today before
the American Philosophical society. The
book of Zacharias, which Jews as well
as Christians give as authority for the
description of the last judgment he
said, refers merely to a municipal plan
for municipal improvements laid out by
the Maccabees. The poetic and fanciful
language of the Scriptural scribes has
been misinterpreted."
The speaker also declared that Beelze-
bub had ben described by the ancients as
1.-THE father of flies, not lies, as the mod
ern horror of those germ carrying Insects
was shared in Biblical times"

the protest of the Japanese government
possible infringement of the treaty
rights of Japanese citizens in this
state.
Reports of the popular agitation in
Japan provoked considerable comment
about the legislative chambers today.
The violence of these protests as well
as the inquiries as to the effect of
the proposed bills upon other alien in
terests in California led to the belief {
here that President Wilson might find
it expedient to indicate his views Or
suggest a course of action tending TO
relieve the situation.
IF the position taken by Japan is
what cable dispatches contain" said
one of the Senate leaders today, "it
seems inevitable that some word must
come from Washington soon without
waiting for the passage of a particular
bill by the legislature.
For that reason and in view of the
widespread interest that has sprung up
in California, it was thought better
TO postpone any further consideration
OF the matter until next week"
The postponement applies also to the
various amendments to the bills that
have been offered.
Minority Favors Bill
poll of the Senate today disclosed
an overwhelming majority in favor of
an anti-alien bill, but scarcely a hand
ful of senators indicated wish to in
clude in its provisions foreigners or
foreign corporations controlled by per-
sons eligible to citizenship The cam
paign in behalf of European invest :
nent in the state. it was stated had
begun to be reflected in the change of
opinion among members in this re-
gard
According to Senator Thompson, who
drafted the original committee substitute
in the Senate. the only bill acceptable to
the Japanese would be one placing all
aliens ON par.
A poll of the house shows that such a
law could not be passed now.
IN case no word comes from Washing
ton ii is regarded as certain here that a
law directed almost solely against the
Japanese will be passed with clauses ex-
empting all European corporations. Only
seven members of the senate have de-
clared themselves against such bill.
Expect No Interference
Senator Caminetti "a democratic leader,
does not expect President Wilson or Sec
| retary of State Bryan to take any part
in the controversy until the legislature
has acted upon a particular bill and it
has gone TO the governor for his sigma
| ture. .
| president Wilson having expressed his
belief that this subject was one within
the jurisdiction of a state to deal with,
do not anticipate any objections from him
or the state department" Caminett said
tonight Until we act and pass a law
there would be no way to determine
whether we exceeded our jurisdiction"
| Scores of kilograms presenting argu-
ments both for and against the bills were
received today. Many chambers of COM
merce throughout the state have wired OBJ
| jections to the bills. On the other hand,
| letters received from the FARMERS in the
districts where the Japanese have set
| tied declare that the clauses permitting
| leases to run for four or five years make
the bills worthless They ask for one
year lease provision.
