SPEED Up WORK
ON NEWEST BILLS

Washington. = Finishing touches
were given today by the house inter-
state commerce committee to the ad-
ministration bill creating an interstate
trade commission. Chairman Adamson
is forcing the committee at top speed
to report both this and railroad Sc
curity regulation bill to the house.
The trade commission is expected
to provide for three commissioners at
$4,000 each, with jurisdiction over
large corporations and discretionary
authority over smaller interstate cor
porations. Inquisitorial powers of the
commission are limited.
The house judiciary committee to-
day began wholesale redrafting of the
three tentative bills amending the
Sherman law, in accordance with Pres
ident Wilson's instructions. The bill
defining monopolies and trade re-
straints will be radically amended and
ultimately may be dropped.
Rigorous prohibition of interlocking
directorates, the president contends
should also be largely modified
The trade relations bill, prohibiting
price fixing" and exclusive sales
practices, has been approved by the
president.

Self-Defending Wheat.

A Belgian agriculturist, Monsieur
LIE Breton, has recently made some
experiments with barbed wheat to
determine the effectiveness of the de-
fense which its barbs afford against
the ravages of graminiferous birds.
In the same field, near Antwerp, he
sowed some barked wheat and some
Japhet wheat, which is without barbs.
The Japhet variety grey rapidly, but
every head was despoiled by the
birds before the grain could ripen, but
the barbed variety was so well guard
ed by it's array of miniature spears
that the attacks of the same birds
were completely defeated, and the
grain ripened in security. At the same
time it was observed that the insec'
tivorous birds were as busy capturing
their prey among the barbed heads as
among those that possessed no natu'
raj defenses.

The Earth as a Bell.

Studies of the violent earthquake
which occurred in the Balkan PENN
sula April 4, 1904. made by DR.. Emilio
Oddone, professor in the University
of Pavia, show that the shocks were
transmitted through the entire body Of
the earth, and were reflected from the
antipodes back to their place of orr
gin in about 33 minutes. Comparing
the records of other great earth
quakes, Doctor Oddone concludes that
the average time required for vibra-
tion to traverse the globe and return
by reflection Is from 80 to 33 minutes.
The earth thus appears to be not al
together unlike a great bell suspended
in space and vibrating throughout its
whole mass under strokes. which,
comparatively speaking. are no more
than the tapping of tinger-nail. Doc
tor Oddone calls attention to the in
teresting coincidence between the
time taken for a vibration to traverse
the globe and that required for light
to cross the diameter of the earth 8
orbit.

MicroscopicaI Tests of Metals.

More and more attention is paid to
the results of microscopical examina-
tion of iron, steel and other metals,
to detect faults and structural pecu-
liarities. Special microscopes have
been devised for such purposes. Mr..
Thomas Andrews. an English metal
lurgic engineer, reports the results Of
such an examination of a fractured
boiler stay-bolt from a British war
ship, and draws important conclu-
sions. The examination revealed
many minute flaws, chiefly composed
of microscopic segregations of suphid
of manganese or sulphid of iron. The
bolt had been subjected to a great
strain. and Mr.. Andrews believes that
a line of weakness in the metal, orr
ginating at one or more Of the micro
flaws, promoted the final fracture.
But the bolt was q fair specimen of
normal mild Siemens steel, and the
opinion is expressed that steel is not
as good material as the best wrought
iron for boiler stay-bolts.

HENS AS BAROMETERS

A poultry fancier near Durham has
produced curious results by altering
and alternating the food given to his
fowls.
1t is known to many who have
reared canaries for the market that
Cayenne pepper, put into their food,
results in notable difference in the
character and shade of their plumage,
giving the feathers a smoothness and
reddish tinge which adds very much
to the sum for which the birds may or
dinarily be sold.
If the same ingredient be added to
the diet, especially of white hens
which have been Matched from care
fully selected eggs, their feathers be-
come pale rose, and they flush to a
brilliant red when the weather is, damp
and a storm approaching. These hens
thus become veritab,e barometers, and
the progression of color from pale to
brilliant is so exact that scarlet hen
stalking about the barnyard is regard
ed as certain prophecy of storm
which may be as much as IL hours
distant.

UNITED STATES
AVERTS DANGER
Officials See an Improvement
in the threatened Foreign
Complications.

Washington.-Ther was real i'm
provement in the Mexican situation in
the opinion of Secretary of State Bry-
an and other high officials.
The grave danger of international
complications growing out Of the forci-
BILE recovery of Clemente Vergara's
body from the Hidalgo cemetery is be-
lieved to have been averted.
The raid into Mexican territory
turns out to have been a commercial
transaction pure and simple. Rela-
tives of the dead rancher paid $400
for an expedition, most of the members
of which were Mexicans-and not one
of whom was a Texas ranger-to re-
cover the body.
And it was not until it was actually
on American soil that the federal and
state officials were notified.
Army officials disproved in their Of
fetal reports the claims of Gov. Col
quit of Texas and his aids that Yer
CARA had been tortured by fire before
death. The undertaken who took
charge of the body reported that there
are no traces of burns on it.
Reports from Gen. Bliss and from
Consul Garrett to the state depart
ment clear the Texas authorities from
the allegations that they had winked
at deliberate armed invasion of
friendly territory.

Pocket Telephones

A serviceable pocket telephone is
the latest innovation of the Hungarian
Posts and Telegraph Administration.
The appliance weighs only 120
grammes, is no bigger than card
case, and can be had by any one on
payment of the price of forty ordinary
telephone conversations, which cost a
penny each.
The pocket telephone is adapted for
insertion in a wall plug either in a
private house, on street walls, or in a
lamp-post, etc. When the user has
finished his conversation, he simply
removes the telephone from the plug
and puts it back in his pocket.

of 14O,OOO,O00 in the past four years,
according to the Bureau of Universal
Statistics of Antwerp, which has just
announced its figures for 1912. Asia
now has 933,OO0,0O0; Europe 4S4,000,-
900; Africa, 1ss,OO0,0O0; America,
1877 100000; Oceanica, 57,000,000.
The worlds commerce now amounts
to $40, 100000, and it is carried on
by 55,sO2 sailing ships and 47,714
steamers. Other figures show total
of 625,OOO miles of railroads, OF
enough to girdle the globe 25 times.
A debt of $42, 800, 100000 is the total
shown in the accounts of all the ma.
tions of the world. Of this total pub,
lie indebtedness 32 milliards are
charged against Europe alone. A cen,

SOCIETY PLYING THE NEEDLE.
Most Feminine Of Implements Comes
Into Fashion Again.

Those who are quick to observe
changes In the moods and tastes of
society will tell you," says writer
in the Lady's Pictorial, that the do
ing of fine needlework Is growing
into great favor with even the most
fashionable of our mondaines, whose
own fingers are producing work that
- fully equal to the best specimens Of
their much lauded and perhaps over
lauded grandmothers.
"a lady who has had the honor to
be the instructress of royalty In this
craft says that hundreds come to her
for counsel where tens came but a
few years ago. The cause of this re-
version to the pursuits Of more
placid age Is not difficult to discover.
Such an occupation becomes virtually
O rest cure In this epoch Of rush and
motor cars, and that is why many OF
those who have been the most inde-
fatigable seekers after novelty and
excitement are now among the most
Industrious Penelopes of society.
"The rhythmic movement that ac-
companies the plying of the needle Is
peculiarly soothing to the nerves, and
produces much the same effect as the
prayers of the Orientals, with their
swayings to and fro and their appar-
emily vain repetitons. 1t is mistake
to suppose that needlework is injuri-
GUS to the eyesight. Old needlewomen
rarely wear glasses"

RELIGION In MEXICO

Christian Herald: The attitude of
the Mexican toward religion is a
mixture of ridcule, fear and supersti-
tion. Respect he has none-eXcept the
pseudo-respect, which is a non-comi-
tant of fear. Profanity has become so
extreme that it has almost ceased to
be profanity. 1t has become rather a
mere manner of speech. For instance,
the owners of pulque dens, without a
thought of being sacrilegious, give
such names as the following to their
resorts: "The Retreat of the Holy
Ghost" "The Delight of the Apostle" !"
"The Retreat of the Holy Virgin"
"The Fountain of the Angels" "The
Seventh Heaven" "The Hangout of
John the Baptist" Church services
are attended almost exclusively by the
women. A man will poke fun at the
church all his life; but when he lies
on his deathbed he invariably calls for
a priest Religion is a matter for de-
rision and dread in Mexico-not for
respect and reverence.

Tho Making Of Automobiles.

1t appears that France, which few
years ago led the world in the manu-
facture of automobiles, is relatively
dropping back, at least in the number
of machines produced. For instance,
in 1900 France manufactured 10,O39
automobiles, England 2,4s1, and Ger
many 2.312. In 1906 the figures for
the same countries were respectively
$4,000, 27,OOO and $4,000. In the same
year the United States, beginning with
q few hundred in 1902, leaped to the
front, producing $4,000 machines, g.
900 more than France. Italy and
Belgium have also made enormous
strides in the last two or three years,
the figures for those countries in 1905
being respectively $4,000 and 10000.

Sheet Silver.

The cheapening of the price OF
sterling silver articles within gen.
Grafton past, says writer in the
Journal of the Franklin Institute, has
been due partly to the invention Of
methods OF rolling silver into sheets,
from which the articles are stamped
out by manufacturers, instead of be-
ing laboriously hammered out from
rods of silver. which are the old pro-
cess. Nearly all manufacturers of
sterling silver articles purchase the
silver sheets from mills that make a
speciality of rolling them, Sterling
silver contains 975 parts of pure sill
YER to rs parts of copper. The cop
Per gives II the requisite hardness.
