THE special session of the state Leg
islature convened at Madison Tuesday
of this week. A brief session is an
ticipated because farmer members and
Socialist members are anxious to get
through on account of duties at home.
The farmers are in the midst of spring
work Well informed members are,
however, inclined to the opinion that,
due to the nature of the measures in
troduced, the lawmakers may have to
grind on them at least two weeks. The
most important bills introduced and
laid before the house in the governors
message are an profiteering
bill, university and manual school ap-
priation bill, and the establishment of
state hospital, bringing about four
year medical course in the university.
To all these measures considerable op-
position is developing. Some of these
involve considerable appropriations; and
whether these funds should be raised
by mill-tax or by sur-tax is ques-
ton that is open to honest differences
of opinion.

On loads.

"Many stories are extant tending to
show that toads have been found alive
in rocks or in soil deep in the earth !;
yet so far as investigated by the writer
in no case has the evidence been at all
conclusive" says A. Fl. Kirkland in an
article on ''The Garden Toad" in Boys
Life. con the other hand experiments
have shown that toads may be kept
alive at least Is months sealed up in
plaster or limestone. There is little
doubt that the toad may live to be
20 years old, or more.
Though it lives alone in summer,
tOads often hibernate in colonies Of
half a dozen or more. In feeding,
usually by night, the toad patrols a
fairly well-def1ned beat; garden and
flower beds are freGuented, and par
ticularly the ground under arc lights,
where numerous insects fall fiuttering
from the lamps above. When food Is
abundant, as shown by experiments on
tOads in cages the animal eats an
equivalent Of four square meals daily,
consisting of caterpillars, cut-worms.
beetles, ants, etc."

First Clocks Simple Affairs.

The first clocks were simple affairs
which showed the hour alone; then
followed the addition of the minute
hand, and later came clocks which re-
corded the day of the month, the
phases Of the moon, and many other
pieces of information, generally Of a
more or less astronomical character.
During the sixteenth century, the Ital.
ian and German clockmakers, notably
those of Nuremberg and Augsburg.
made great progress in their art.
There are those who claim that one
Richard Harris, an Englishman, in
vented and set up the earliest pendu-
luln clock some time during the first
four decades Of the seventeenth CEN
fury; but this story does not appear
to be well authenticated, and the
honor of introducing the pendulum
seems to belong to the Dutchman,
Huygens.

OYSTER RAISING In HOLLAND
Highly Scientific Methods Employed in
That Country Have Been Re-
markedly Successful.

In theindustry represented by oyster
cultivation, Holland is the most sys-
tematic in its operations and employs
more elaborate methods than any other
country in the world. The numerous
sounds that indent the coast of Hol-
land, particularly in the region of the
River Scheldt, afford excellent facili-
ties for the propagation of the oyster
and enable the country to conduct the
most successful oyster industry in Eu-
rope. Public dredging is not permitted,
rs the result of that system was the
threatened exhaustion of the fisheries,
and the beds have been carefully sur
veyed and specific tracts are leased
to individuals and companies, who are
thus enabled to conduct the prOpaga-
ton of the oyster in a systematic man.
ner that inSureS the best results from
the territory available. Many growers
lease several tracts In different locali-
ties, and adapted to different purposes,
which facilitates the various opera
lions, as the oysters can be shifted
from one place to another, according
to the season and the stage Of de-
velopment. A few of the Oystermen
plant shells on the banks, as is done in
many places in this country, but the
largest and most successful propa-
gators are equipped with their own
tanks and ponds, located in conven-
tent shallow bays, in which they carry
on the culture

Hold Your Liberty Bonds.

The market value of bonds quoted
from day to day in the press is no cri-
terion of the actual value of them. AS
long as you hold your Liberty bonds
they are worth one hundred cents on
the dollar plus the stipulated interest,
and that is what you will get for them
from the government on the date of
maturity. To sell your government
bonds is to feed the long purse of the
speculator and the profteer whom you
are giving an undue chance of collect
ing profit on your investment.
Don't sell!

Kangaroo Tendons Best sutures.

The kangaroo, which propels its
body over the ground in a series Of
long leaps or bounds, has a very pow
erful tail which is of great assist
ance to the legs in enabling it to leap,
A great muscle or group of muscles,
each little bundle of them with it's own
tendons extending to the extremity Of
the tail, gives power to this important
organ. DR.. Henry O. Marcy of Boston
discovered that these tendons were the
ideal thing to use in sewing up mus
cles after surgical operation, as they
are not elastic and they do not soften
until their work is done, and then they
are absorbed by the tissues.

WHATEVER the economic and indus
trial conditions of soviet Russia may
be, the military department of the COM
munistic state operates successfully.
The Polish Ukraine successes around
Kiev a week ago seem TO have been
wiped out by the counter attacks by
the armies of the soviet under the able
generalship of Brusiloff. If bolshe-
vism fails in Russia, as it seems likely
to do, it will be in large measure due
to the success of the army and army
discipline A militaristic autocracy is
rising in Russia and may succeed in
bringing order out of chaos as the first
step toward a new and better Russia.
The irony of fate! Russia revolving
against the militarism of czardom-res-
cued and reconstructed by the militar-
ism of the communistic soviet.

would include in this measure appropri-
atoms for making deep water canal,
putting the Mississippi valley and the
middle west in direct shipping connec-

not reach the pecuniary dignity of
"Anna Y"
The case is even worse with the
teachers in the Gynnasien, as the
fitting schools for the universities are
called. They begin with 2,7OO marks
and after twenty-one years of the
daily wear and drudgery of the
schoolroom they overtake "Anna Y"
"The moral,' says a writer in the
Frankfurtcr Zeitung, in report
ing the foregoing facts, 'is this:
Let your boy study blacksmithing-
not philology." The same paper ur-
gently demands that something be
done to remedy the conditions here
described. "Quick rescue is neces-
sary,' it writes, cor the consequences
to German scholarship will be meal
culable."
1t can we'll be imagined, from what
has been said, that there is much
distress among Germany's intelll-
gentsia. One can, in fact, hear
pathetic stories as to what these men
and their families are suffering.
Yet few such stories become known:
the sufferers bear hunger and cold
In silence like that Spartan boy
bitten by a fox concealed under his
cloak.
Distress in Book Trade
But German scholars and literary
men are hard hit in other ways be-
sides low pay.
Authorship has ever been a special
ambition of every herr professor;
but even that pleasure has been
wrested from him by the deprecia-
ton OF the currency and the conse-
quent prodigious increase in the cost
Of printing books. Owing to this
cause the Berlin Academy of
Sciences recently suspended its pub
lications, and Professor Harnack,
the famous church historian, has
just announced that he must dis
continue the further publication of
his books and will have to content
himself with placing his manuscripts
in the state library for the use of
scholars. "And thus" says news
paper writer in this connection.
German scholarship has been
thrown back technically into the
period before Gutenberg"
And here is another. fact that is
singular commentary upon condi-
tions in what was hitherto the great
est honkmakin0 natinn in the world
