SECOND CHOICE VOTING IN CUR
RENCY LAW.

The enactment in the Currency Act
of the Los Angeles method of counting
preferential votes or second choice votes
gives a national endorsement to such
voting. 1t also strengthens the present
hold politicians have on public office by
making the choice of a plurality almost
certain of a majority vote in the re-
turns. But such was not the intent OF
the English pioneers who invented pref
erential voting.
In our national nominating conven-
tions, Americans have been used to the
complimentary votes cast on first bal
lot: and the real choices cast on later
ballots. In many commission" cities
there are two municipal elections, three
weeks apart A majority vote elects
at the first election; less than major
itv merely dominates, for the second
election, at which time the highest vote
elects.
The English method, devised by Mr.
Hare and improved by Miss Spence,
now known as the Hare-Spence method
actually does at one election what Amer
leans heretofore have taken two cleo
lions for by eliminating low candidates
one at a time, and counting the second
and other preferences marked on the
ballots cast for such eliminated candi-
dates. in a way mathmetically reasoned
out. This method has been in use for
years in Belgium and in South Africa.
1t works easily and quickly and satls-
! factoriy.
The currency act took the name pref
erentiap' but not the method. Section

THE VIRTUES OF KAPOK.

A Sleeping Bag For Sir Ernest Shackleton.
Sir Ernest Shackleton will have the light
est sleeping bag in existence for his next
expedition it is to be made of k.pok-the
fbrous, silky material obtained from the
seedpods Of a tree growing largely in Java.
Kapok is six times as light as cotton, and
is 50 oily that it is quite waterproof.
A new machine has been invented with
which it is intended to 'card' the kapok
fibre; attempts to prepare it in this way,
so that it can be used for cont Innings, bed
quilts, and so on, have been made for the
past 20 years, without success. The new
machines will shortly be installed in London.
A mattress stuffed with kapok was recently
tested in the water, and though weighing
only lob, it supported a man weighing
200lb. lying on it. Many experiments with
kapok are being made at the present time
by the United States Navy Department, who
are already employing it on a small scale.

An exploit which throws into the shade
Professor MilIardra's daring doscents OF
the slumbering crater Of Ye5uyius has Just
been achieved by . Hungarian engineer,
Arpad Kiruer, who has decended into
S%tromboli to a depth Of 930ft, while the
volcano was in a state Of activity. The en-
gIneer is here en- route for Paris, where he
will publish a scientific report of the eXpedi-
zion. BY way of preparation for the descent
Kirner donned a complete suit of asbestos
material with an asbestos mask and Il metal
helmet for protection against the rain OF
volcanic material. He was also provided
with an oxygen breathing apparatus. Upon
him was installed a system of electric tele-
graph wires which ran through the rope
used in the descent. By pressing a button
in his waistband an electric lamp at the
top end signalled to his companions on the
edge Of the crater. He was four hours in
the crater, and when finally hauled to safety
was in a state of collapse.
During tie latter stage of the return
climb inside the crater his supply Of oxygen
gave out, and he was tormented by the pow
erful fumes. He was, moreover, covered
with wounds and bruises caused by stun
bling among the stones and lava detached
from the walls of the crater. One Of the
