question as TO the Ryan. Peck and Nor

Judge Miller were opened by Mr.. Stanch-

Stanchfeld began his argument with
the proposition that the impeachment
trial is not criminal proceeding. In

dictment might follow the impeachment

he cited Section 723 OF the Code OF civil
Procedure. which provides that the court
may amend a pleading by inserting an
allegation material to the case or where
the amendment does not change sub
s,antially the claim or defence by con-
forming the pleading TO the facts proved.
He emphasized the point that the Peck

Napoleon. Weapon Rusty.

In recalling the sword which Napo-
leon presented to the Russian Grand
Duke Constantine at Tilsitt on the oc-
casion Of the treaty between Napoleon
and Russia in 1907, Paris newspaper
asserts that, although Napoleon al
ways carried two pistols in his saddle,
he very rarely used them, His service
sword, as he called it, was so rusted
in its sheath that at the battle of
Arcis-sur-Aube in 1914 he had to call
an aid-de-camp to help him draw 1t.
It is also said that the emperor,
whose figure in long gray cloak and
"bicorne' is everywhere familiar. had
made for himself a helmet and breast
plate set with emeralds and diamonds.
But on first trying them on he found
that he looked too much like Roman
warrior, and he discarded them. This
armor that Napoleon had on but once
is today to be seen under glass in the
army museum.

Evolution Of tho Switchboard.

The dresser began service In the
kitchen as a table, advancing until it
was composed Of top and two shelves
below, supported by four legs. It was
then used not so much as a place for
dressing the meats as serving table,
on which dishes were placed before
being allotted to the members of the
household. At later period a portion
of the dresser became inclosed, and
after that an extra shelf, with some
times hood, was placed on 1t. It
was not then an article Of kitchen fur
niture, but stood in the hall or living
room. AS result of the desire to re-
duce the quantity of furniture in the
hall the credence and dresser were
combined in one article, with closet
and shelf below and several shelves
above, the whole surmounted by can
opy. Then it was like some of our
sideboards, though it was not known
by that name until the eighteenth CEN
tury, when it assumed the long, low
table form. with drawers and cup
boards below. The name sideboard
prior to this had, however, been ap-
piled to tables as early as the sixteenth
century.

A Tax Scheme That Failed.

Switzerland has always prided itself
on its independence, and in fiscal mat
tiers this proud spirit, which will brook
no interference with the rights Of the
individual. even by the state in quest
of revenue, has sometimes been ex-
hibited in curious ways, says the Pail
Mall Gazette. As the inquisitorial
methods of income tax collectors are
abhorrent to the freedom loving Swiss.
boxes were once set up in several can
tons to receive the voluntary contribu-
tons Of loyal citizens. 1t was hoped
that this method Of relying on the pub
lie spirit of the people would prove
successful in raising money for public
ends; but, alas, for human nature. in
the course Of time the collectors on
opening the boxes found nothing but
trousers buttons. So the voluntary sys-
TEN, after fair trial, had to be reluc-
family abandoned In favor Of a dec
laration Of capital and income which
is liable to official investigation.

The Eye as a Camera,

The human eye is a perfect photog-
rapher's camera. The retina Is the dry
plate on which are focused all objects
by means of the crystalline lens. The
cavity behind this lens is the shutter.
The eyelid is the drop shuttle. The
draping of the optical darkroom is the
only black membrane in the entire
body. This miniature camera is self
focusing, self loading and self develop
ing and takes millions of pictures every
day in colors and enlarged to life size.
Charts have been Experimentation
charts-which go to show that the eye
has 729 distinct expressions conveying
as many distinct shades Of meaning.
The power Of color perception is over
whelming. To perceive red the retina
Of the eye must receive three hundred
and ninety-fve million million vibra-
tons in second; for violet it must re-
spond to seven hundred and ninety mil
lion million. In our waking moments
our eyes are bombarded every minute
by at least six hundred million million
vibrations.-Chicago Tribune.

THE getty OF HOMER"
Reminders Of the Ancient Architectural
Glory Of Smyrna.

Glory OF Smyrna.
Alphabetically Smyrna must have
degenerated since the ancient days, for
we are told that then the streets were
broad and handsome, we'll paved and
running at right angles with each
other. There were a number Of squares
and porticoes and public libraries, a
museum, stadium in which Olympic
games were celebrated with great en-
thusiasm, grand music hall or Odeon,
q Homerion and many temples; Of
which the most famous was that of
the Olympian Jupiter, in which the
reigning emperor was practically the
god worshipcd.
The ancient Smyrniotes were inordi-
nately proud of their city. They called
it the "First of ASIA though the Ephe-
slams violently disputed this claim. The
Inhabitants also called their city the
"City of Homer" who they claimed
had been born and brought up beside
their sacred river Meles.
They put his image upon coin,
which they called a homerion, name
given to one Of their temples. Enor.
nous fragments yet remain showing
what tremendous buildings once occu-
pied the broad plateau on the summit
Of the acropolis, and as one rebuilds in
imagination these wonderful piles he
can easily forgive the Smyrniotes of
old for their grandiloquent praise Of
their city and its beautiful CROWN

Ways Of Carrying Money.

When mamma gives you a penny to
buy bit Of candy she usually either
sends you to her top bureau drawer to
get her purse or takes it from little
box she keeps in which to drop her
spare change. But, If your mamma
were an immigrant-people who come
to this country from foreign lands are
called immigrants, you know-instead
of your own dear mamma, she would
carry her money in strange fashion.
If she We're Swede or Norwegian she
would carry it in a pocketbook so big
that it contains enough leather to make
a pair Of shoes out of. The Italian i'm
migrant prefers small tin tube which
he hangs about his neck by small
chain, and the Hungarian stuffs his
money into his long boots-along with
his knife and fork and spoon. Ger
mans keep theirs in belt strapped
around their waist under the clothes,
and the French are partial to a small
brass case about as large as the aver
age pocketbook. Free Press.

Ocean ship, Sow Seeds.

During the last few years botanists
have noticed that there has been a
great leveling up of plants on the In
Vulnerable islands scattered over the
Pacific. The vegetation Of two islands
1000 miles apart is as likely as not to
be exactly the same, while formerly
there used to be marked difference.
The reason Is said to be the steamship.
The Pacific is now covered with net
work Of steamer routes. At each port
the wind pours fine powder Of almost
invisible seeds over each ship and
blows ashore some Of those she receiv-
ed at previous ports Of call. Thus
ships are, without knowing it, altering
the vegetation Of the Pacific islands
Trains SOW seeds too. At any rate.
that is the explanation offered by bota-
nists for the way in which the middle
west is growing plants that once be-
longed to the Atlantic coast. Even the
barren eastern slopes of the Rockies
are now growing trees that were never
planted by the hand of man. The
trains have done the sowing. - Stray
