the "uniform cold storage BILL" was
passed in the Senate while the House
was debating the repeater. 1t amends
the present law but does not repeal it.
There was some bitterness in the
House debate land not a few charges
of unfairness and of lobbying. Mr..
Baldwin, of Delaware, defended the re-
pealer in a speech that lasted almost
an hour. William H. Wilson, of Phila-
delphia, favored the law which this
bill seeks to repeal.
SO much time was consumed in this
debate that the Stern moving picture
bill, which places the cost of censoring
moving picture at fifty cents regard
less of the number of reels, which was
on special order for $50 O'Clock, was
postponed for the present.
Efforts to reconsider the vote by
which the bill requiring tenders on

failed. The Senate bill calling for the
annual observance of "'bird day. in

ommendation of the committee.

GOOD BOOKS.
When Personally Owned They Gather
Wealth of Association.

When Personally Owned They Gather
a Wealth of Association.
Cultivated men and women have al.
ways good books among their most
valued possessions, and one cannot be-
lieve that this taste can be sacrificed
without definite loss to our civilization.
The spoken word can never supplant
the written word. and IN fact the pres
ent tendency is all toward substituting
print for speech. Nor can reading in
public places take the place of reading
ones own books in the quiet of ones
home. Books that are owned wait pa
tiently on the readers leisure. and to
have just the book one wants when
one wants it must remain one Of the
supreme luxuries of a cultivated life.
Books, too. when personally owned,
writes Earl Barnes in the Atlantic,
gather around themselves wealth of
personal associations. The very bind
ing. paper and title page recall the con-
ditions under which the book came into
our possession AS we open its pages
we remember the last time we read ii,
the place and circumstances and the
people with whom we discussed it.
Books have personality, and they must
always remain the warm friends of
their possessors.

Culture.

Culture is a slow process. 1t comes
from long and close contacts. Ii is the
fruit of reflection. of travail of soul
and of mind. Graphing with some
thing until the very essence of it has
been extracted is a first step. Thus the
tastes of essences is learned, and once
learned lesser Installations do not salts
fy. Then follows a growing power to
discriminate. to distinguish nice values,
to judge of quality, to answer TO beau
~, TO feel the need. that what you
have. though it may be little. may
still be the real thing This is culture.
1t is not baggage. like diplomas and de-
grees. 1t is not things seen and heard,
miles Travelled or books read. These
are the materials for culture. They
contribute to it only when they are
absorbed by the mind and as really
lost in it as water and lime, phosphates
and ammonia must be lost in the soil If
they are to enrich it and enable it to
increase its yield.-Ida NJ. Tarbell in

IDENTIFYING CRIMINALS.
The System Devised by Bertillon and
the Way 1t Is Worked.


Any malefactor who gets into the
clutches of the law nowadays is a
marked man for life if he runs up
against the Bertilion system, which is
a scientific method devised by NJ. AL
phonse BeTtilon for the Identification
Of criminals. Bertillon was born in
Paris in 1853 Certain measurements
are taken from every convicted per
son. and these physical records of pris-
oners are kept on cards. any one OF
which can readily be found by an elab-
crate system of classification.
The measurements are taken on the
left side of the subject. as they are less
liable TO alterations than are those on
the right side. The determination of
the conYict's height is taken always
at the same hours. because the stature
may be as much as half an inch great
er after a nights sleep than it is in the
evening. The color OF the iris Of the
eye and the characteristic lines made
by the print of the finger are also re
corded.
The following measurements are
made: The length and width Of head;
the length of the left foot and of the
middle and little fingers Of the left
hand; the stature of the whole body.
as well as the length of Its upper and
lower portions; the span OF the out
stretched arms; the length and breadth
of the left ear and the length OF the
left arm
The system has been used In Paris
since 1880 and is now employed by all
important police departments in this
country.-Ex Exchange

Human beings occasionally live

which lay forty-two feet higher than
the roof. With them bad been buried
a little boy. six goats. a donkey and
some hens.

soon died. but the goats helped the
women to survive. their milk supple

they depended for food. Hope Of find

RAYS FROM THE SUN.
They Become Light to Us Only Upon
Striking Our Atmosphere.

Striking Our Atmosphere.
The rays of light that reach us from
the sun are not light in themselves.
For instance. to show what is meant,
suppose you were placed out in empty
space. facing so that you would look
sidewise at the light rays passing from
the sun to the earth You would not
see them at all. You could only see
them if you looked directly at the sun,
so that the rays would enter your
eyes and, striking upon the retina, pro-
duce there the impression of light
The rays passing by and not enter
ing your eyes would be invisible be-
cause in open space there is no me-
dunn like the atmosphere to scatter
the rays in all directions and thus pro-
duee an illumination all around.
The sky at night is full of passing
sunbeams and star beams, vast and
fnextricable web of radiations. but they
lie beyond the limits of the atmos-
phere. and only those are transformed
into light which by reflection from a
planet in the case of sunbeams or by
coming straight into the eye from a
star directly affect the nerves of vision.
