THE OLD MILEAGE FARCE.

The Senate committee has increas- ed the appropriation for the payment of mileage of members of the House from $87,0O0, at which the House itself fixed it, +o the old figure of s175,OOO, and that for mileage of sen ators from $25,0O0 to $51,0O0.
 Everybody with any acquaintance with congress sentiment nkows the actual and honest opposition to the acceptance of this plan is nearly neg ligible in both parties. The appro- priation was pared down in the House only in a cheap bid for public ap- proval, not because members as a whole have any doubt of their right to anything they can collect. It is large and stupid farce, whatever the outcome may be.-Ex.

RECORD OF TOWER OF BABEL

Desds of Nshuchadnszxar Told on
 Cylinders at Vale Now Rsdseiphsrsd.
 Inscriptions on clay cylinders pur- chased for the Babylonian collection at Yale university have been redecl- phered, and much information for stu dents of Biblical chronology has been obtained.
 One cylinder inscribed for Nebuchad- nezzar, who reigned B. c. 6O5 to 561, recounts his deeds with reference to restoration and enlargement of the walls and meats of Babylon and of temples and sanctuaries thereabout- He records the rebuilding of Marchuk. which he calls Etemenanki, recognized as the ancient tower of Babel of the book of Genesis.
 Nebuchadnezzar said, according to the translation, that he sought and found the foundation stone of the tenn pie of Lugal- -Marada, his deity, and laid it upon the foundation stone of Naram Sin, king. his ancient ancestor. This ancestor presumably lived 5000 years before Nebuchadnezzar. The foundation stone of Naram-Sin was also founded by Nabonidus, father of Belshazzar (B. c. 556) when he re- stored the temple of Sippara.

CHILD LABOR LEGISLATION.

Remarkable progress has been made within the last decade in the elimination of child labor in the mills and factories. In 1904, only ten years ago, a national organization began active work looking to the enactment of laws prohibiting the employment of children under IA years of age in gainful pursuits. A report just submitted by the secretary of the organization shows that all but eight states now have such laws. Ten years ago only sixteen states pro- tected the children from the avarice of manufacturers.
 Progress has been made also in the enactment of state laws prohib- iting children from working at night and in improving the working con- tions of factories. The exploitation of children, to the >detriment of their and the community's welfare, is still permitted in some states and the work of the organization will be con- tinued until every state in the na- tion takes steps to protect the health of is youth, the greatest asset of any communiy.-Ex.

That light without heat Is a near possibility and that water vapor does exist in volcanoes was brought out in addresses at the convention of the American Chemical association at the University of Cincinnati.
 The heatless light possibility was discussed by Professor W. D. Bancroft of Cornell. who spoke on "Flame Re actions.' Professor Bancroft said he has achieved what 6e called a light known as the .electric 6peAy:" This is produced by electricity, under certain conditions and resembles the phosphor- escent light of | ,6refy. but as yet is not commercially available. ,.:.

LONDON SOCIALISTS IN
 AN UNIQUE CAMPAIGN

LONDON, June 18-"Red Week" will be observed by organized Social ism throughout Great Britain beginz ming next Sunday. Following the ex- ample set by their continental com rades, the leaders and active mem pers of he British Socialist party will devote seven days to earnest missionary work for the cause, par ticularly London and the big indus trial centers. The ideal set for each member is that he shall cause at least one new recruit to be enrolled under the red bag. In the larger towns there will be systematic house to-house canvassing and distribution of Socialistic literature.
 A variety of novel methods of proselyting is promised. A number of London but conductors have agreed to risk dismissal by handing a leafiet to each patron of their ve- hicles, and new terror is to be added to the barber's chair by the declared intention of several follow CTS of that craft to expound the doc trines of Socialism to every custom CT during the week. Elevator men in the tubes will explain to passen- gers the benefits of Socialism as a remedy for the ups and downs of life milkmen' will drive Socialistic argu- ments home with the milk. and post men will defy government regulations by leaving Socialistic literature at the doorways of possible converts.
