The house committee on public &C

duced two bills affecting the attor-
ney generals office. One provides
for taking the inheritance tax de-
partment away from the attorney
generals office and placing it in the
hands of the state tax commission,
while the other bill would raise the
salary of the attorney general from
81, 800 to $4,000, and would give him
five assistants at salaries of S., 900,
81, 500, 50, 900, So, 500 and So, 900. The

the bill would mean that the state

Harvesting the Sun.

Old Sol himself is harnessed to do
our worlds work. Heat is collected
by pressing water through a glass
covered heater exposed to the suns
rays. The heated water is stored In a
well insulated tank and drawn of
to circulate around a sulphur dioxide
boiler, then, after giving up it's heat,
was again passed through the heater.
1t was calculated that in latitude "a
degrees square foot of water surface
would make up about $4,000 thermal
units in a June day and about 1900 in
a December day.
Using two heaters, sections expos
ing 1000 square feet to the sun, the
heat collected was made to run a
twenty horsepower sulphur dioxide
engine, and at times developed about
fifteen horsepower with a boiler pres
sure Of 245 pounds per square inch.
Reviewing the results, Mr.. Willsie has
found the cost per horsepower at the
solar power plant to be about $3.50, or
more than four times the cost of a
steam power plant. He makes due al.
lowance for this difference in first In.
vestment and concludes that in a
favorable region, like California, sun
power can compete in cost with steam
power.

FATTENED FOR THE TABLE
In ireland Goldfish Are Kept Con-
fined Until They Are In the Best
of Condition.

At Logan, near the Null of Gallo
way, there is a most interesting tidal
fish pond. A rent in the cliffs facing
the Irish channel admits the salt wa
ter through narrow fissure, protected
by grating, into circular rock basin
some 80 feet in diameter and 20 feet
deep.
The cliffs rise high around. Stone
steps descend on one side to a ledge
leveled into footpath at the waters
edge. No sooner does the visitor s
football resound on the stairs than
the green water, hitherto motionless
and apparently lifeless, becomes peo-
pied with large brown fish arising
from the depths, gliding and dashing
about in state of great excitement
These are cod, which, caught on lines
in the sea, have been transferred to
| this pond to be fattened for the table.
They are fed daily by the keeper, and
experience has taught them to connect
the sound Of footsteps with their meal
time.
Formerly a clapper used to be rung
to summon them, but this was no more
than trick of the stage. The foot.
fall on the stone is quite enough to
awaken them to activity. Most of the
cod, being deep-water fish, become
totally blind in captivity from excess
of light; but they become so tame and
accustomed to their keeper as not only
to feed out Of his hand, but some OF
them allow themselves to be lifted out
Of the water. One may witness the
strange sight of huge cod, more than
four feet long. dangled on the knee
like a baby, his mouth stuffed with
mussels and limpets, after which he is
returned to the water with a mighty
splash. On the table these fish, thus
tended and fed, prove much better
than fish brought straight from the
open sea-

IN THE BRONZE AGE.
Rare Antiquities Secured by
Royal Irish Academy.
Specimens Recently Unearthed Prove
High Civiization-Centuri Be-
fore Christ People of Erin
Emerged From Barbarism.

Dublin.-The Royal Irish academy
recently acquired some very fine spe-
cimens of Irish antiquities which
show the wonderfully high level civil
lization had reached in Ireland CEN
turtles before the birth of Christ.
These objects are now on view in the
antiquities section Of the National
museum in Dublin. They include two
bronze celts, two gold f1bulae, a
bronze fibula and a number of amber
beads, which were dug up by work
men in a field in County Cork in
1907.
One of the gold fibulae weighs over
three ounces and the other nearly two
ounces. The bronze fibula is of a
rare type, and the amber beads are
also of great Importance, as the find
ing of them in association with the
other objects places beyond dispute
the fact, which was often surmised
but never definitely ascertained I'M
til now that many of the amber beads
found in Ireland can be placed in the
bronze age.
Another object recently added to the
collection is the well-known napier
from Lissane, County Derry, of which
the academy had previously had only
a model This rapier is the longest
ever discovered in the British islands,
and it is one Of the most perfect ever
found in Europe. 1t was discovered in
a bog at LisSane i'm 1867. and after
passing through various hands il
eventually came into the possession
of the Hon. Mrs. Henniker Heaton
wife of the British postal reformer
from whom the academy purchased ii
this year.
There is another rapier which was
found recently in Tough Erne at a
depth of II feet under water, close to
the old castle of Crom, near Ennis

Irish authority on this subject, de

Police Powers to a Nurse.

Because Miss Rupp of Philadelphia
met with discourteous treatment at
some of the homes at which she called
as a nurse, the city council passed an
ordinance giving her all the powers of
a policeman, and she was sworn in a
few days ago.
Before she was given authority to
carry a mace and pistol and make
arrests she was required to make oath
and that she had not engaged IN duel

take part in duels either as principal
or second. The oath as to duels is re
quired by the state legislature of al
public officers from governor down.

GUIDED BY THE STARS
HOW TIME is REGULATED IN THE
UNITED STATES.
Matter of Extreme Importance Has
Been Brought to an Exact Science
by Wise Men in Government
Employ.

Few people understand how time is
accurately obtained and distributed
throughout the country, says the
Charleston News and Courier.
Every clear night the astronomers
at the United States observatory,
Washington, D. c., observe the transit
of certain stars which are due to
cross the meridian at a known time.
The exact instant of their transit is
recorded electrically by means of a
chronograph, which also records the
seconds from a sidereal clock. The
difference between the time of the
sidereal clock and the time the stars
cross shows the error of the clock.
The time signals sent out each day
are wholly automatic, and consist of
a series Of short marks produced on
an open telegraphic circuit by the
beats of a transmitting clock located
in the observatory. The wires Of the
Western Union Telegraph company
are used for the dissemination of
these signals at noon (75th meridian)
each day, for an interval of three and
five minutes Immediately preceding
and ending exactly at noon.
For the country east Of the Rocky
mountains the signals are sent from
the United States observatory at
Washington, and for the country west
Of the Rocky mountains the signals
are sent from the United States OBJ
servatory at Mare island navy yard,
California. The entire series of sig.
tories are graphically shown as they
appear on a chronograph tape. The
electric connections of the trans.
hitting clock sending these signals
are such as to omit certain seconds OF
each minute, as shown by the breaks
in the record.
These enable any one who is listen
ing to a telegraph instrument at any
Office that is cut into the circuit during
the transmission Of the signals to re-
cognize the middle and beginning OF
each minute. At the fifty-ninth min,
ute there is an interval of ten sec
onds, which is followed by the final
| noon signal.
At each office throughout the Uni
ted States where time service is estab
lished there is a master clock In
stalled for the purpose of transmitting
hourly signals to the subsidiary clocks
to keep them in perfect time.
At the present time, when scientific
business methods make every fraction
of a minute valuable, the value of the
present system has become invalu
able; so much so that time" con
nection is indispensable in nearly
every place of business, as the varia
ton of one minute frequently costs
hundreds and sometimes thousands o.
dollars.
