GETTING AFTER LOAN SHARKS
WANTS TAXING OF AUTOMOBILES
CHANGED.
Resolves Started Providing $4,000
for State Pensions.

Augusta, Me.-New measures OF
statewide Importance keep coming,
the hopper delivering a god collection
each night when it is opened. Some OF
these will need extensive hearings be-
fore committees and may involve hot
fights when they reach the final stage
es, so the end of the session is by
no means in sight as yet
Mr.. Libby of Scarboro gives the
loan sharks more cause for worry in
a couple of bills he started in the
house this morning. There are al
ready several drastic measures pend
ing and this pair will supplement
what has gone before, being intended
to prevent the lodging of such laws
by doing business in another state
through power of attorney, a trick
that has been worked successfully in
the past by those in the business.
Mr.. Bowler of Bethel wants the tax
ing of automobiles changed. He fig
ures that a second hand machine is
not nearly as active and energetic as
new one and should thus pay less
toward repairing damage to roads and
building new ones. He would have
the tax reduced 20 per cent. each year
on machines for three years, so that
a man with a machine three years
old will not pay half as much tax as
man with new one of the same
model.
Resolves providing for the money
for state pensions carry a total OF
$124,000 1t is explained that by in
Guiding the widows of veterans of the
| Spanish war and allowing for the in,
creased demands of veterans of the

for will be needed this year.

Liberty Bells Last Peal.

On the morning of June 8, 1885, the Liberty bell, which for a century had been Philadelphia's greatest instru- ment for showing joy or grief, was be- ing tolled for Chief Justice John Mar shall.
 On that occasion it was badly cracked. But, broken as it was, the bell was afterward rung on great occa- sions, although the tones were but sorry reminders of the once powerful sound. So it happened that on Wash ington's birthday, 1843, the old bell was once again tolled in joy. At that time, however, the previous crack became so wide that the tones were completely broken. It was never rung again after that day.-Philadelph Ledger.

Ii is averred that in vigor and word painting this is the richest of all lan- guages. This may be partly due to the fact that nouns, pronouns and adjec- tives change into verbs at will and verbs may be transformed into nouns and adjectiyes. Every part of speech and even the letters of the alphabet can be declined like nouns. and adjec- tives are conjugated like verbs.-Har- per's Weekly.

The Invention of Wireless.

Guglielmo Marconi was only fifteen years old when he studied at the uni versailles of Bologna and Padua and began his electrical researches. In the course of the next few years he began the study of the so called Hertzian waves or electrical impulses, which travel through the air without the use of wire. In 1895, when he was only twenty years old, his advanced knowl- edge on this obscure subject inspired him with the theory that these waves could be sent out and received at will, and in that year be constructed the first wireless apparatus, the efficiency of which astonished the world.-Chi- cago Tribune.
