sURREHe COURT ooWNs


II Is said that the cut and style
Of the gowns worn BY the justices
Of the supreme court Of the United
States are so peculiar that it is not
always possible to have one correct
~ made.
The wife Of former justice used
TO enjoy telling Of her trying ex-
periences when she wished to have
made in Paris the gown her hus-
band was to use. The gowns worn
there by scientists, scholars and stu
dents differ altogether from those
our justices wear.
In London any clerical tailor
would have understood the kind Of
gown desired, but not so in Paris.
Wherefore, after many failures, the
justices wife gave instructions to
the fashionable modiste who made
her gowns. This modiste was en-
tirely successful in turning out a
gown for the justice.
The justices gowns, which are
always Of the best quality Of silk,
cost upward of 500. When the sur
preme court was first organized the
justices wore quite gaudy gowns
A portrait in oil Of the first chief
justice, John Jay, now hangs in
the robing room opposite the SUI
preme court chamber, and in this
portrait the chief justice is repre-
scented as wearing a black gown with
a broad bright red border around
the neck and down the front. II is
edged with gray, and the sleeves
show a red border at the top and
bottom, also edged with gray.

Amendment TO Migratory Bird
Regulations.

Washington, d. c., July 9.-The
| L. S. Department Of Agriculture
has proposed for adoption regula-
ti0ns amendatory of the regula.
tions for the protection of niigra-
tory birds approved by the presi-
dent August q, 1916. A period
Of three months is allowed in
which the proposed amendments
may be examined and considered
before final adoption, and win be-
como effective on or after October
rs, next, whenever approved by
the president.
The proposed amendments pre-
scribe a daily closed season on all
migratory game and insectiv0rous
birds from sunset 20 half an hour
before sunrise, instead Of a closed
season from sunset to sunrise as
prescribed by the present regula-
tions.
The following changes relating
to the waterfowl seasons are pro-
posed.
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Min
ncsota, North Dakota, South Da-
kota, Montana, Wyoming, Cobra
do, Nevada, Idaho and that por-
tion Of the State of Oregon and
Washington lying east Of the SUM
nit Of the Cascade Mountains !:
Open season September 16 TO De-
cember 81 both dates inclusive.
The changes are suggested to
unity the season on waterfowl in
the northern zone, and in most
instances are made TO CONFORM
with the open seasons under state
laws.
In response to numerous in
quiries the department has advis-
ed that the federal migratory bird
regulations are not to be constru-I
ed to authorize the killing Of NH
gratory birds at any time when
il is unlawful to kill them under.
state laws.

The phrase 'sthe length Of The
law" owes its origin to the enor.
nous length of some of the parch-
ment rolls upon which the ancient
statutes Of Great Britain we're In
seribed. The present day official
title of the master Of the rolls" is
a reminder of this ancient custom.
Some faint idea Of the bulk Of the
English records may be obtained
from the fact that a single statute,
the land tax commissioners act,
passed in the first year Of the reign
Of George w., measures when IN
rolled upward of 900 feetl

THE KING OF CEREALS.


Both in the quantity produced
and in it's value, wheat Is the world
king Of cereals. Recent statisticl
show, however, that O0,O0O,0 0l
persons, OF 81 per cent Of the IN.
habitants Of the globe, derive Their
sustenance mainly from rice.
The most important cereal pro
, dpced in the United States, measur.
ed in bushels or dollars, is corn, and
wheat stands second. Taking the
civilized world as whole, wheat
forms the principal food Of man
1t is much more widely distributed
than either it's commercial rival,
corn, or it's rival food cereal, rice
II is q prime necessity Of civilized
life.
The quantity Of wheat miIled il
larger than that Of all other cereals
combined. II is essentially a bread
cereal. Bananas, rice, potatoes and
other soil products viii sustain a
greater population on a given unit
Of land than wheat viii, but they
are not so well adapted to a high
standard of living. Herein lies the
present and increasingly great inn
pprtance of wheat, for it seems to
be the tendency of the civilized
world to raise its standard Of living.
As the standard Of living rises
sheat becomes a relatively more i'm
portant part Of human food. Rye
and oats furnished the bread Of the
great body of people in Europe dur
ing the middle ages. Wheat was
high priced and not extensively
grown, England early became a
wheat eating nation. France and
the other Latin countries followed
later. Rye is still extensively used
in Germany, but is gradually being
superseded BY wheat. Even Russia
il using more wheat -four than she
did twenty years ago.
The great intrinsic food value Of
Eheat, It's ease of cultivation and
preparation for use, its wide adapta-
ton to different climates and soils,
lis quick and bountifpl return and
the fact Of its being paniferous and
Welding such a vast number and va
riety of products are all factors that
enhance the value of the wheat
grain Its combined qualitative and
qnantitatiye importance gives to
wheat great superiority over any
other cereal. As an essential part
OF the food Of civilized man it be-
comes of an importance so vital as
to be dominating. = From '1The
Book Of Wheat"

There are two popular decisions
about fish-one that they cannot
live out Of water and the other
that they can live in any pure wa
ter, the food supply taking care Of
itself. As a matter Of fact, there
are fish in Africa which, having to
exist in absolutely dry rivers for a
portion Of the year, have developed
lungs, while in many an amateurs
aquarium fish cannot live in the wa
ter provided owing to lack Of food.

Gravitation as a supposed innate
power was noticed BY the Greeks
and also BY Seneca, who speaks Of
the moon attracting the waters
about 80 B. C. Kepler investigated
the subject about l6l5, and Hooke
devised a system of grayitation
about 1914. The principles of gray
ity were demonstrated BY Galilei at
Florence about 1858, but it was not
until the great Newton stepped
upon the stage that the matter was
fairly settled. The others had guess
ed. Newton proved, and to Newton
unquestionably belongs the high
honor of having shown us the true
mechanism of the heavens.
