plan for a new revenue act which

on incomes between $4,000 and
100000 a year.
Under this plan, profits Of corpora

prawns which, when disturbed throw out a
stream of luminous substance The lucifer-

which pour out the luminous secretiOns from
hundreds of tiny hair-like ducts.
''The power of lighting is found developed
in several families of insects, In such way
that it appears to have arisen entirely indie
pendently We find it In most primitive
kinds, as well as in others of much higher
organization. The myriapod acquires lumin-
osity by eating or rubbing against the lumi-
nous plant of fungi; or from material Sc
creted in the intestine; or from lateral
glands; or from luminous substance distrib-
uted over the entire body.
''The best known example of insect lumi-
Mostly is that of the beetle called the FREELY
and its larval form of glow worm. There
are hundreds of species of them scattered all
over the world in all climates.

are single, lonesome, and yearning

the Reno Gazette.
II seems that while on an eastern
trip few weeks ago the Judge
fell in with a Toledo newspaper man
who recalled as soon as he learned
that his acquaintance was from Ne
yada, that the Commercial club OF
Jarbidge, Nevada, had once advertised
to the world that Jarbidge was Ions

women. In the conversation that fol

the effect that Nevada wanted more
women for her young men. and that
interested maidens should write to
Walser about it. hence the letters.
They are coming in at the rate of
from forty to fifty a day, coming so
fast, in fact, that one is convinced that
Ohio is short on young men who love
the music of wedding bells.

is being used against the adoption OF
the new coin. There are said to be
more than 100000 cash registers
now in use, and the number is being
added to at the rate of about SOC

and legitimate demand for a coin OF
that denomination to fill some press.
ing need, the effect on the cash regis
ter situation probably would be n mat

far as can be discovered such demand
as exists is based wholly on the theory
that a 2k-cent coin would effect a
saving of half cent for the purchaser
in some cases. The public has not as
