WASHINGTON, ID. c. July 3.
One Of the most vital and in
eXcusable errors a Legislative body
can commit is to pass law con-
tanning a discrepancy in the date
it shall take effect.
TheDemocratic Congress incOr-
porated just such a blunder in
the war tax" law
Section q of this law declares
that the stamp taxes prescribed
on the articles provided for in
Schedule b shall attach to all
such articles thirty days after
the approval Of the act.
Schedule b itself, however,
provides that "all articles and
preparations provided for which
are in the hands of manufactu-
rers or dealers on December l.
1914, shall be subject to the pay
ment of the stamp taxes herein, +"
etc.
The two provisions are absolute
" contradictory. When the
Treasury Department came to
enforce the law it was unable to
harmonic the two conflicting
dates. Congress had adjourned
and il was impossible to correct
the blunder by proper legislative
action.
A forced Interpretation was the
the only alternative. The De-
partment arbitrarily fixed the
date of enforcement, virtually
assuming 3 function that bslong'

Comparatively few people realize of

arctic fox can do quite as well, II not
better Nansen met one of these foxes
on the ice at Il point more than seven
ty miles northwest of the Sannikow
territory. which Is $50 miles from the
Asiatic coast. Eskimo and Siberian
dogs can travel forty-fve miles on the
ice in five hours. and there is one case
on record in which team of Eskimo
dogs Travelled six and one-half miles
in twenty-eight minutes.
English settlers and pointers hunt at
the rate of eighteen To nineteen miles
an hour. and they can maintain the
speed for at least two hours. Fox
hounds are extraordinarily swift, as Is
proved by the fact that a dog of this
breed once beat n thoroughbred horse.

PITCHING IN BASEBALL.
Lack Of Control Will Render Useless
All Other Ability.


"In my ten years connection with
the American league as umpire have
seen the fact proved again and again
that control is absolutely necessary to
win success" writes Billy Evans in St.
Nicholas.
"The more one studies the different
features of the art Of pitching the
more clearly does he see the value that
control plays i'm the success of the
pitcher
IF the pitcher knows the weakness
of the batter and intends giving him a
fast ball on the inside and then DELHI
erately pitches to the opposite side his
knowledge of the batter is of no use to
him. Lack of control has rendered his
knowledge useless.
"If he knows the shortstop is to COW
er and then pitches ball to the batter
that makes it easy for him to hit
through the position vacated by the
shortstop he nullifies the strength of
his infield. Lack of control is again
the cause
"If the catcher signals for a waste
ball in order to be in better position
to throw out a runner trying to steal
and instead he gets the ball right over
the plate he is handicapping the
catcher Lack of control is again the
cause.
after all, most of the finer points
of pitching are based on ability to con-
troll the ball."

THE SECRETARY BIRD.
II Kicks Like Mule and Can Swallow
a Snake Whole.


The rarest and most valuable birds In
the New York geological garden are
the strange pair of secretary birds quar-
tered in the ostrich house. Secretary
birds" they are called because Of the
crest Of long dark plumes that rises
from the back of their heads, giving
them the appearance of clerk with a
bunch of quill feathers behind his ear.
It's an aristocratic name, but the thing
that makes the secretary bird valuable
is not his looks. The natives Of South
Africa love him because he can kick
like a mule
Toss into his cage n snake, no matter
how vicious. and the fight begins I'M
mediatcly. The bird cautiously ap-
proaches the snake with wings wide
spread to escape the sudden lunges by
flight if necessary. Once, twice, three
times perhaps the snake lunges. The
bird darts back, waiting his chance.
At last IL comes, and one of those long,
hard legs shoots out like the hoof Of a
mule landing squarely on the snakes
head. 1t reels and falls back stunned
to be knocked out completely by a sec
ond blow. And then its victor pro-
ceeds to swallow it whole
In South Africa the birds are regard
ed as a great protection. They are ar
fectionate mates and always travel to-
gether. When pursued they spread
their wings and make off over the
ground with the speed Of a running
horse.-Evcry Week.

A Candid Caller.

A small boy had been coerced into

mother. He had rebelled vehemently
over the calling business, saying: Jaw,

But. dressed in his best suit, he had

ENGlAND'S THRONE.
AZ One Of the Heirs TO II, the German
Emperor Is Very Remote.


In answer to the question. WAS the
emperor Of Germany ever considered
an heir to the English throne and did
Queen Victoria have n law passed TO
exclude him from the succession the
Philadelphia Press says:
"The possibility OF the German en-
peror ever succeeding to the throne Of
England is so very remote as to cause
little thought. There was more or less
talk on the subject at the time of the
marriage of the kaiser's mother to the
heir TO the German throne in 1853, but
we are unable to find that any parlia-
mentary action was taken even then.

sons and one daughter and their chill
dren, If any; thea King Georges sis
ter Louise. Duchess of Fife, her two
daughters and the son of the elder:
then Princess Victoria, then Queen
Maud of Norway and her son, making
thirteen at present living in the line Of
succession. After that the succession
reverts to the descendants of the late
King Edwards brother, Alfred, duke
of Edinburgh; Arthur, duke of Con-
naught, and Leopold. duke of Albany.
As these all married and had numerous
children and grandchildren. there is. a
long line of heirs to the throne before
the succession would come to the de-
scendants of the oldest sister of King
Edward, the late Empress Frederick OF
Germany, the first of which line is EN-

Natural Ace of Man,

The question as to what is the nat
ural age of man is by no means set
tied, of course, but many are of the
opinion that the Frenchman Flourens
was not far out of the way in his esti-
mate of the time man should live.
Taking his observations from the
group mammalia, of the class vertebra-
ia, as having the closest resemblance
to man and such species as are per
mitted to live the full term Of their
natural life under circumstances not
admitting of error or doubt. Flourens
found that their natural life extended
to about five times the period of their
lives from birth up to maturity. APP
plying the rule thus obtained to hui
man life and taking the age mt which
the body is fully matured to he TWEEN
ty years, he concluded the natural
duration of the life of man to be 100
years.
