Washington Oct. 14.--The recent
outbreak N the senate, in which Vice
President Marshall was given what
amounted to a rehuke by Senator
overman. chairman of the rules COM
mittee. because a moving picture man
vas allowed to do the unprecedented
thing of taking moving pictures in the
senate chamber, calls attention TO the
position which the wee president in re-
laticn 10 the senate occupies.
When Vice President Marshall said
The vice president was in most in
stances a football 10 be Kicked around.
ne told Il part Of the story. AS mat
ter of fact the authority of the vice
president is distinctly limited when it
comes 10 considering his relations 10
the senate.
The vice president Is made by the
constitution the presiding officer Of the
senate, though. unless il be said some
ming ought TO be found for the vice
president To do, there are substantial
reasons why this is not a fortunate az
ransement. The vice president is not
q member of the senate as many PEG
pie seem TO think. He performs the
usual duties Of presiding officer and
however. is a continuing body. only
one-third OF its members are elected
every two years. The term of SEN
ator is six years. while that of the vie =
president is only four. The result is
that while the senate to u large ax-
tent seems like the same BODY. it gets
frequent changes Of presiding officers.
No Authority Over Building.
THO vide president has no authority
ovcr the senate chamber or the senate
end Of tho capitol. He can not within
his rights grant license TO a movinS
picture man or any one else TO use the
chamber. The power 10 do this rests
primarily in congress but practically
In the senate since the house IS al
lowed 10 run its end Of the capitol and
the senate 10 run its end. The senate
has termed over 10 the rules COMMITTEES
the business OF actual management.
Consequently the kick OF some of the
memb ers OF the rules committee when
they were not consulted about moving
pictures icing taken in the chamber
was As a matter Of principle and pre-
cedent Justified
II buS frequently happened that vice
Presidents have not got on Wei "lth

FEATS WITH THE CAMERA.

Difficult to Snap Fast Moving Objects
 at a Given Point.
 Only an expert, and he only after much practice, can take a photograph of rapidly moving object at pre- determined point-for example, an ex- press train with the cOwcatcher just at a white chalk mark on a tie or baseball at the instant the bat Mrikes it.
 The reason for this is twOfold: First, there is a certain appreciable time be- tween the mental decision to do a thing and the actual doing of it; sec end, it takes q certain appreciable time for the impulse given by pressing the button or squeezing the bulb of a camera to travel to the shutter and open it. The latter may in very fine camera be only One-fiftieth of sec Ond, but even the fiftieth of second in a train going 100 feet a second would mean a difference of two feet.
 c. H. CIaudy in an article in the Camera says that not more than once in four attempts will even an expert catch the precise instant he is seeking. The average man snaps his camera at the moment the ball is striking the club or racquet, and by the time his shutter has worked the ball has gone. A tennis ball travels nearly a mile a minute when struck hard. That is ninety-six feet a second, so in lag of One-tenth of a second between the pressing of the button and the opening of the shutter the ball will move near ly ten feet, and ordinary cameras work no faster than this. So one need not wonder if even experts fail.

CLOUD FORMATIONS.
What We Know About Them Seems to
 Be Mainly Guesswork.

What We Know About Them Seems to
 Be Mainly Guesswork.
 Many scientists have told us how clouds are made. Most of the text books on physical geography tell all about them, but it is all guesswork. Clouds are a mystery. It is true they are composed of moisture floating in the air, but how did the moisture get there?
 It is held that particles of moisture are evaporated from the earth's sur face by the heat of the sun. This moisture does not form into clouds i'm mediately. Indeed, the passage of the moisture from the earth to the upper air is quite invisible. It was formerly supposed that this moisture was coH- densed by the cold of the upper air into rain droplets, which formed the clouds. B.
 But scientists hold that the tiny par ticles must have something to con- dense upon. They used to tell us that the moisture collected upon dust par ticles to form into rain drops. Now they are practically agreed that it is something else, but they don't know what. e.
 Anyway, when these drops get large enough they accumulate into vapor, forming clouds. When the droplets get too large and heavy to float in the air they fall to the earth in the form of rain, and this is about all we actu- ally know about clouds.-War Cry.

BIRDS AND BRAINS.
The SSanary Well Supplied, While t0s
 Poor Hen Is Sadly Lacking.

The Ganary We'll Supplied While tDs Poor Hen Is Sadly Lacking. Naturalists have arrived at the con clusiOn that the brain in birds Is large in proportion to the body. If 1t is ad-
 mitted that intelligence depends upon the weight of the brain then the gold finch must be placed at the top of the
 list of birds The brain weighs one fourteenth of it's whole body.
 1t must be remembered, however, that attempts to draw conclusions as to the intelligence of certain birds from comparison of the weight of the
 brain with that of the body have been considered futile.
 In man the brain forms from one twenty-second to -thirtythird of the whole body; in the canary, 0ne-f0ur- teenth; the sparrow, ne-twenty-f1fth; the chaffinch, 0ne-tWenty seventh; the redbreast One-thirty- second; the black bird, One-siXty eighth; the duck. one two hundred a nd d-tifty-seventh the ca gle One-twO-hundred-a and -sixtieth; the goose, One-tlIree-hundred-a and-siXtieth; the domestic hen, OnefOur- hundred and-tWelfth.
 By some the preternaturally cunning
 raven Is supposed to be the most high
 ly developed of birds. His courage is
 so great that the eagle respects it, and
 his intelligence prevents him from get
 ting into unseen though suspected dan
 gers.-LOndOn Spectator.
