ONE OF NATURES MARvELS
Transformation Of Reptiles from Wa
ter DwelIsrs to the AmphIbIan
stage 10 q Striking One.

Every one is familiar with the an
frogs. Little flshlike creatures. with
fringed gills protrdIng from the sides
of the neck, and swimming tail, sud
denly change into land animals, differ
emit in shape and color, and, breathing
air by means of their lungs.
Nevis and salamanders go through
a similar change, which, however, is
little less striking because the tail
although 1t loses its swimming web,
persists in the adult condition. The
Mexican axolotl, Of which there are
always a number of examples in the
reptile house at the London zoologl-
cal Gardens, is a very large newt,
black in color, with a pair of long
fringed gills at each side and swim
ming tail, the web of which runs
along the back toward the head 1t
lives entirely In water, and breeds
freely in a condition which represents
the larval stage Of common nevis.
This axolotl was for long time
believed to represent a type of am
phibian which had not yet acquired
the adult stage. More than SO years
ago, at the Jardin des Plantes, in
Paris, 1t was reported that some of
the axolotls had become transferred
into a well-known Mexican salaman-
der known as Amblystoma, and which
was typical land animal. without
gills, with a lizard-like tail and ter
restrial habit The evidence was def.

Preeepts Of a Prsaldent.

The words which John Adams wrote
to his wife years before he knew he
would some day be the second presi
dent OF the United States and that the
son to which he referred would also
some day be president, are good
watchwords for any parent
the education OF our children" he
wrote, is never out of my mind. Train
them to virtue Habituate them to in.
dustry, activity and spirit. Make them
consider every vice as shameful and
unmanly."

FOR A new BILL.
Governor Hodges Wants Substitute for
Inheritance Tax.

Governor George H. Hodges is not
the least bit pleased with the action
of the legislature in repeating all OF
the provisions of the Inheritance tax
law and he will recommend the passage
OF new bill com polling indirect heirs
TO pay an Inheritance tax under the
law The governor believes that the
promise of the Democratic party was
fulfilled when it repealed the old law
as AFFECTING direct heirs, but that the
otner provisions of the act should have
been left on the statute books.
When the inheritance tax problems
came before the Legislature however,
that body went even further than the
democratic party pledges called for.
by W1plng off the books all sections re-
gardlng an Inheritance tax, it remov-
ed several thousands of dollars annual
" received from the indirect heirs who
have received -'twindfalls'' and who
Governor Hodges believes, should be
subject to an assessment.
1T is for this .rea son that the cover
nor will this week request the draft
ing OF n new inheritance tax law. This
Dill Will not affect direct heirs in any
way. nor compel them to pay spec
lal tax on any sum which they might
inherit But it will compel the indi-
rect heirs to submit to a special tax,
which the Kansas executive believes is
just and fair.
The new bill will probably be intro
duced in the legislature sometime this
week by the committees on assessment
and taxation and will have the en-
dorsement of the administration follow

IT IS TOO SMALL.
Says Mayor Billiard of Proposed sum
for Convicts' Families.

Mayor Billiard considers the legisla-
tive measure providing that prisoners
receive from 10 to % cents per day g
joker and a farce.
1T strikes me- said the mayor. that
this is too munificent a sun-too lib
eral an offering. Can the state afford
to-
The proposed measure provides that
this fine amount go to the support of
the wife or children of the cor wet to
free them from the stigma of public
clarity
IF the families of convicts have
been trained to Subsist On ten cents a
day. observed Mayor Billiard, in a
mildly sarca site vein, 1T seems to me
that they have been educated in most
creditably economical circles
The mayor opines that the bill points
in the right direction.
Il heartily approve of it he de-
clared. but the amount should be at
least 80 cents or a dollar a day in
order to free the family from that
much discussed stigma of public char
ity.'
