Curious Effects Of High Explosives

The explosive force Of the big shells

many curious effects. In some cases
these effects have been to deprive men

been lost and also regained, while sight
has been suddenly banished and as
suddenly brought back.
But one of the most astonishing ef-
fects of all was that narrated by q
French captain. 1t occurred while he
was occupying an observation post In
a tree. An eight inch shell happened
to explode Immediately beneath him.
with the result that the displacement
of the air hurled him clean out Of the
tree. 1t also knocked him senseless for
few moments, and when he came to
himself he made the amazing and dis
concerting discovery that it had strip
ped him Of his breeches. vest and tunic,
leaving him. as he put it. "as bare as q

Another soldier described the freak
of a shell of which he was the victim
1t exploded several yards away from
him without doing him any harm. But
1t blew his overcoat from his back. and
when he picked the garment up it was
minus all the buttons.
The eccentricity of another shell was
sworn to by trooper who was GER
tainly very close observer He was
standing between two horses when the
projectile burst close by, killing both
animals, but not injuring the trooper in
the slightest.

 "To take from the poor man a part of the burden which necessarily falls on him because of his poverty, and see that he obtains in every proper case his legal rights, has always seemed to me a part of the duty of the lawyers which could not be ign ored "-March Lend a Hand

RESUME OF THE NEW LAWS
 PASSED BY LEGISLATURE

Out of the 349 bills introduced dur ing the session of the third state legislature, ninety measures were en- acted into law, according to statis- tics compiled. Of this number 69 were signed by Governor Campbell, and the remaining twenty-one became laws without his signature.
 Four bills that passed the legisla- ture were vetoed by Governor Camp bell; and all on the ground of uncon- stitutionality. One sought to exempt from its share of the inheritance tax the portion of the Lowell estate which goes to the famous Lowell ob- servatory at Flagstaff; another sought to fix the highway between Phoenix and Prescott via Senator and Silver mountain; two others had the same object, namely to permit the sale by the state of the old industrial school building at Benson. Governor Campbell vetoed the first of these bills because it did not correctly describe the land to be conveyed, and a second measure was hastily drafted and rushed through both houses in the closing days of the session.. It too, on close examination proved to be in correctly drawn.
 Important among the enactments of the third legislature were the min imum wage for women, fixing $10 a week as the minimum wage for women and girls; the red light abate- ment law, similar to the California statute; the widows pension act; a drastic anti-gambling law which makes the participant equally guilty with the keeper of the game; the commission of state institutions which provides for a state commits sion of three members having charge of all state institutions with supervi- sion over the administrative boards of the educational institutions; the act reclassifying the counties of the state on basis of assessed valua- tion; the bill providing for military training in high schools and provid- ing for the organization of high school cadet companies and the law permitting aliens eligible to citizen ship to own real property within the state.
 Referendum petitions directed against the minimum wage law for women the anti-gambling law; the commission of state institutions and possibly against the bill amending the paving act so as to abolish bidding are said to be in course of being cir eulated. If successful in securing the required number of signatures, the circulators of referendum petitions can thereby hold up an enactment of the legislature until the next general election.
