WEBB BILL GOES
 OVER TAFT VETO
Measure Prohibiting Ship ment of Liquor Into Dry Territory is Disapprovel by President and Ap- proved by the Senate

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2S-The Webb liquor bill prohibiting the ship m-nt of liquor into dry states was passed today in the senate over Iaft's veto in the two, last hours from the time the presidents notice of disapproval had been laid before that body. After a short debate in which il was advocated that the bin be voted down motion was made to postpone action until to- morrow and in which they reaffirm- ed belief that the measure was constitutional ended with a repas- sage of the bill by a large majority of 63 to 21. The Webb bill passed both houses of congress and went to the president ten days ago. His ve to message reached the senate about o'clock today accompanied by an opinion from Attorney General Wick ersham. Easing his decision upon the attorney generals findings the president expressed the belief that the measure was clearly uncUnstitutionaI because it gave the states a right to interfere with interstate commerce. The senate took up the bill at once.
 Attorney General Wickershaw's op- iniOn was not read, Senator Kern asked that the final vote overriding the veto be laid over until tomorrow. SO the senators might have an op- portunity to examine the attorney generals arguments. A motion made by Senator Kern to postpone the vote until F o'clock tomorrow was de feated T to 9. Senator McCumber 4t general had misconstrued the grounds upon which congress passed the pro hibition law He said it had not attempted to give states right to interefer with commerce, but simply declared an outlaw" and then pre- scribed the conditions under it which might enter interstate commerce Senator Kenyon also briefly urged repassage of the bill, while Senators Painter and Perry supported Taft's veto Efforts will be made tomorrow to over ride the veto in the house Representative Clayton of Alabama will move to take up the veto fOl the purpose of passing the bill oVel The presidents head as soon ds tn, house convcnes.

Succeeding the problem of putting water on the land, comes that of mak- ing the combination productive. To those not closely connected with rec lamatfon and colonization work, there are a number of astonishing facts about the west that have escaped their attention In a short article in a rec ent issue of the Sunset Magazine, some startling revelations are made on con ditions among irrigated farms.

COST OF RUNNING A
BIG OCEAN STEAMSHIP

How can a great steamship like the
Tmperator, costing probably $~f,9OO,ooo
all told, in which size and luxurious
appointments rather than the highest
speed are prime considerations, be
made to paw as a commercial invest
mentY
The London Times has worked out
the problem with satisfactory results.
If Atlantic liners always ran with a
full complement of passengers at full
rates, it says, the profits from the I'm
perator would be truly magnificent.
! Assuming the highest gross earnings
of one voyage from passage money,
mails and freight to be $350,000 and
the lowest $4,000, with the cost of
running the ship at $4,000, it is esti-
mated there would be a handsome re-
turn on the capital. With net earnings
of only s125,000 per voyage during the
season and $4,000 during the non
season, the average would be $s1 800.
A three week itinerary and the allow
ance of one month a year for over
hauling the ship, would give a margin
of over 81 1850, 900 to meet interest on
capital at 5 per cent, $4,000; depre-
citation at 6 per cent, $3.50, 900, and an
nual overhaul, $150,000, with 1915 600
to spare.
This is a better return than most
railroads can show. But obviously the
| Germans, from their practical knowl-
edge of the Atlantic shipping bust
ness, worked out the problem to their
own satisfaction long before they laid
the keel of the Imperator, for two more
steamships of even slightly greater
tonnage are to follow. Presumably
they are not running steamship lines
for their health, and from their past
success with passenger vessels they
know exactly what they are doing in
their latest enterprise.-New York

MExICo's HISTORIC
STONE LIZARD

A weird looking creature is that
known to scientists as the mysterious
stone lizard of Cuernavaea. Mexico.
This reptile, carved on a huge boulder
lying on an overgrown hillside, is stu
ated about eight miles from Cuerna-
Mexico City. 1t was there, centuries
old, when Cortez first saw Cuernavaca,
and is supposed to have been carved to
commemorate some vents in the wan
behring's of the prehistoric civilized
race which built the great palace at
Xoehicaleo. a few miles away. If this
curious relic could speak, what tales
it could tell of the ong-dead past

ATTEMPT WILL BE MADE
TO FLY ACROSS THE OCEAN

There may well be some foundation
for the report from Berlin that Count
Zeppelin is planning a transatlantic
voyage for one of his airships. Sooner
or later the experiment is sure to be
made, and though as yet this type of
balloon is by no means so Trustworthy
as could he wished, it is not unlikely
that, with due precautions, the in
ventor would be willing to attempt q
trip across the ocean.
1t is said that the German govern
ment els disposed to regard his plan
favorably,' and is willing to place
ships at his disposal for assistance in
case of accident. 1t is ever rumored
that the voyage will be attempted this
summer. When this feat has been ac-
complished, as it may be either this
year or (more probably later, there
will, of course, be a great demand for
"a repetition of the experiment by a
heavier-than-air machine. The posi-
bilities have already been specialized
upon in detail by an English enthusi-
asst, Harold F. Wyatt.
He has laid out what he thinks
should soon be accepted as a possible
transatlantic curse for an aeroplane.
"From the north of Scotland he ar

Shetland and the Farce islands. is a
trip which could perhaps be accom-
plished, under fair weather conditions,
even by some existing machines. Those
of ten years hence will probably re-
gard it as a most trifling voyage.
From Iceland to Cape Farewell, the
southernmost point of Greenland, is a
passage not half that from the Irish
to the Newfoundland shore. and the
distance from Cape Farewell to the
last named shore is not much more. It
may be added that the stretch of sea
which divides the nearest part of the
west of Newfoundland from Sydney,
Cape Breton, is only some sixty
miles,
The worst of all speculations of this
sort is that they are all founded on a
belief in uninterrupted progress with
out due regard to the inherent limita-
tions of the machines we know. In
making such prophecies, it is best, I'M
on the whole, to dwell upon what will
happen, without fixing a time limit

HOW ELECTRICITY
Is TRANSMITTED

When an electric current flows
through a conductor, it is not sent or
pushed through like a fluid in a pipe,
but is rather handed on from particle
to particle In other words, il is a
transfer of electrical energy which
can be illustrated by setting up a row
of rubber balls tangent to zach other.
Now, if we strike these balls at one
end the energy will be transferred
from ball to ball and ian be utilized
at the other. Here we had no actual
flow, and yet the energy was transfer.
red from one end to the other.
The basic units which we use are
the unit of the rate of flow, or ampere.
the unit of electric pressure, or volt
and the unit of resistance to flow, OF
the ohm.-Norman Read, in Aera.

BewllderIno Names.

Women who do only a small amount of buying are likely to feel oppressed. when they do undertake to make some modest purchases. by their ignorance of the names of the various articles of merchandise shown to them. It is only necessary. however, to know something of the origins of the com plicated nomenclature of trade to be convinced that an inability to master 1t need not be taken as a sign of mental weakness.

Another rug has acquired a name with particular ly nice oriental sound; but 1t Is the name of people that has not longer any distinctive existence, and had nothing whatever to do with either the making or designing of the rug. When names are so easy to get 1t is not strange that every material, color and mode has numbers of them sufficient to create utter bewilderment in the minds of the initiated.

Anecdotes of hsnn.r.

...ss,s-.- -StSinheils s extraordinary Me moirs" contain some bits of personal anecdote in startling contrast to the horrors she depicts of the notorious murder case, prison experience and trial. She writes of Henner. the cele brated painter of milk white auburn haired beauties unadorned.
 q never knew Henner to be en- barrassed. But if he was never em- barrassed he had embarrassing hab- it's, the worst of which was that of examining the shoulders and arms of ladies in decollette with unperturbed inssstence. And not infreQuently he would say: Allow me. just one sec ond; want to feel the grain. the qual- ity of your skin
 And before the victim had time to move he would press down his hairy and grimy forefinger on her bare arm, or even on her neck.
 Withdrawing his fingers, he would pass some such remark as this: It's really wonderful. 1 never grow tired of feeling flesh. It Is all made of lit tie dots--blue, white, green, pink, purs pie, yellow. That Is what flesh is.'"

Pump for Horn PIayers.

The patient German inventor has produced a new labor-saving device; this time it is meant to make easier the work of the man who plays a wind instrument.
 To maintain at the lips an air pres sure required for some wind instru- ments Is fatiguing. Besides this the necessity for taking breath once in & while makes it almost impossible to render properly long passages full of sustained notes.
 Hence the inventor has devised a machine operated by the foot which conveys air under pressure by a tube to the mouth of the player. It would be, of course, impossible to attach the tube from the bellows directly to the instrument, since it Is by the mouth that character is given to the sounds.
 But the musician using this inven- ton will have his mouth constantly filled with air, and can breathe in through his nose without interrupting his flow of music

Experimenting With Death.

There are few men. perhaps, who have not a hundred times in the course of life, felt a curiosity to know what their sensations would be if they were compelled to lay life down. The very impossibility, in or dinary cases, of obtaining any ap- proaeh to this knowledge, Is an inces- sant spur pressing on the fancy in It's endeavors to arrive at 1t. Thus poets and painters have ever made the estate of a man condemned to die one of their themes of comment or description. Footboys and 'prentices hang themselves every other day, con- clusively-missing their arrangement for slipping the knot half way-out Of a seeming instinct to try the secrets of that fate, which--less In jest than earnest-they feel an inward moni- ton may become their own. And thousands of men, in early life, are uneasy until they have mounted breach or fought a duel merely be- cause they wish to know, experiment. ally, that their nerves are capable of carrying them through that peculiar ordeal.-From "De Revenant."
