u. S. Senators Human Beings After All

NITED States senators-members
- of the most august legislative
body" in the world-as rule take
themselves mighty seriously. Yet they
have been given nicknames, just like
small boys, prize fighters and ball
players. The Washington newspaper
correspondents are responsible for
most of these nicknames. It's easier,
you see, to say "Quince" than to say
Josiah Quintus Bobb of Massylva-
nia." Also, these correspondents in
the senate press gallery have learned
that senators are only human beings
after all. Some of these nicknames
are rather clever; others are decided
ly forced. For example, the two lead
ers in the treaty fight, Senator Hitch
cock of Nebraska, and Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts, both have their
nicknames. Senator Hitchcock is reg
ularly alluded to as "Hitchy-Koo,"
while the cabot" in his opponents
name has resulted in Cabbage"
The identity of some of the senators
bearing picturesque sObriquets may
not be revealed, for obvious reasons.
For instance, it would be impossible
to tell the name of the senator who
is called "Polonius," because of his
heavy style and podgy wit. Nor would
it be wise to disclose the name of the

The Old Capable of Useful Achievements

CENATOR Thomas of Colorado read
y into a Record the other day, dur
ing a discussion of pension matters, a
letter from John w. Riley, eighty-two
years, a veteran of the Civil war, in
part, as follows:
Nowadays mere years are no sign
of either physical or mental diminu-
ton. There is living at the Dayton
Military home a veteran who will be
100 years old next June-Comrade w.
E. Bayne, of Barracks No. z. He is as
active in body and mind as any man
half his age; is commander of Veteran
Post, No. 5, of the Grand Army of

To Establish Redwoods National Park

When the clerk read the resolution,
which came up on the unanimous con-
sent calendar, the following, took
place:
Mr.. Walsh-Mr. Speaker, reserving
the right to object, l would like to ask
the gentleman if the secretary of the
interior has exclusive Jurisdiction over
forest reserves?
Mr.. Lea of California; think the
department of agriculture has exclu-
sive jurisdiction over the forest re-
serves and the secretary of the inter
ior has jurisdiction over the parks.
Mr.. Walsh-This would be treated
differently from forest reserves if this
tract was acquired?
Mr.. Lea of California-Yes so 1 un-
derstand.
Mr.. Walsh is from Massachusetts
and New England is always active in
national park legislation. But the ex-
pected opposition didn't develop.
Sequoia National park (to be en-
larged and it's name changed to Roose
velt) preserves the "Sequoia gigan-
tia," or Big Trees. The redwood is
it's first cousin and is being extensive
ly numbered. The movement to save
the redwood from extinction by estab-
fishing the Redwoods National park
has resulted in the formation of a
''Save the Redwoods League" with
nationwide membership.

Scientists Differ: One Universe or Manv?

learned debate on the dimensions o.
the universe.
After the discussion it appeared the
assembled astronomers were split into
two factions on the question whether
there is one universe, the dimensions

extent of which in space simply stag.
gers the finite imagination.
On the one side were ranged tta
supporters of. DR.. Heber D. Curtis of
the Lick observatory, who defended
the old theory that our universe is ono
of many universes. This theory has
been until recently generally accepted
by astronomers.
On the other side appeared the fol.
lowing of DIR. Harlow ShapIey of the
Mount Wilson Solar observatory. who
in an exhaustive discourse replete with
terms of the higher and highest calcu-
lus sought to demonstrate that thase
is but one immense universe.
1t is universe ten times larper
than hitherto conceived by the widest
astronomical calculation.

Outbreaks of Influenza.

Noah Webster, in his "Brief His
tory of Epidemic and Pestilential Dis
cases." published in 1799, described "A
instances of Influenza, dating in Eu-
rope from 1174 and in America from
l647. All of them are associated with
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, COM
cts, droughts and similar disturbances
of like nature. The epidemic of 17S9
was described by Benjamin Rush.
Doctor Rush's account reveals a re-
markable parallelism between the epi-
demic of 17S9-90 and that of 191S-19.
1t includes q classic description of the
sneezing, hoarseness and sore throat,
the sense. of WEAKNESS, chills and fe-
ver pains in the head and infection in
the frontal sinus.

Wanted Her Fish

Augustine Birrell, some time ago,
while travelling in third-class railway
carriage in the north of England. sat
down hurriedly next to a little girl in
shawl and clogs. Happening to glance
at her a moment or two afterward. he
saw that she was regarding him with
no great favor. 1t dawned upon him
that he was sitting on her newspaper.

Finny Veterans.

What is the average age of fish?
There is not a great deal of informa-
tion on the point, but it would seem
that q plaice is veteran at twenty.
One Of that age was recently caught
in the North sea. 1t had been previ-
ously caught 16 years ago, when It
was reckoneds to be about four years
old. An Identification disk was placed
on it in accordance with the interna-
tional scheme of inquiry into the mi
grafton, growth and age of fish. Then
1t was released. but 1t ultimately end
ed its romantic career in the tolls of
a trawl net. The oldest-living fish
would seem to be carp, specimens of
which have been known to live 200
years; while at Plymouth. in a tank,
is large conger eel whose age La

OLD AND PROFITABLE TRADE
Chinese Government Derives Hand
some Revenue From the Tea Mar
kets of Szechuan Province.

The tea trade of Tatsienlu, in the
Chinese province of Szechuan, near
the Tibetan border, was first started
in the reign of Yung Cheng, some 200
years ago. At that time, it is said,
Tatsienlu did not exist as town, but
tents were pitched in the valley, and
the Tibetans gathered and bartered
on the occasion of religious fairs.
The tea trade is now established
under government control, yielding a
handsome revenue. Licenses are is
sued quarterly, and taken up by over
100 firms engaged in the trade. Each
license costs one tael in Chinese
money, equivalent to about so cents in
American exchange. The license al
lows the holder to import five bales of
tea into Tatsienlu. more being permit

He was one of the few surviving
cab drivers of an older, day who had
succumbed to the lure of the automo-
bile and had become taxi driver. But
in his heart he longs for horses, the
buckled high hats that he wore when
driving for funerals, the caroling of
the quartets being taken home from
late-at-night stag parties, and all the
things that made life worth while to
him in the happier years.
And this night he was particularly
unhappy because while starting on a
hurry-up call his motor had stalled.

hfllSides and glimpse of the broad wa
ters of the Hudson, with the head
| lands of the majestic Palisades in the
distance, it is easy for the city man
to imagine that he is no longer in the
great city, but far away in some dis
tant corner of the country. There are
no houses to mar the view, only the
Billings establishment which occupies
the spot of Fort Tryon, the perfect
harmony of which only enhances the
effect.
Truck Farms on Broadway.
A flat-wheel trolley car in Broadway,
far below calls attention back from
the mountain solitude, with the beau
tiful glimpse of broad river through
the valley, and brings one back to the
realization that this is a city. But
as one follows the tiny car on its jour
ney one notices it passing a little
truck farm with it's regular rows of
beets and cabbages and it's notice that
fresh vegetables right out of the farm
are to be had daily. A truck farm on
Broadway! Truly, New York is a
city of surprises. A few rods farther
and the car is passing quaint white
wooden church that looks as though it
had just stepped out of the pages of
Rip Van Wrinkle.
In another direction roll out before
the eye the wide acres of Van Cort-
landt Park and beyond it the varied
landscape of Westchester county; on
the other side the Harlem river and
more wooded and rocky hillside on
the Bronx side, with the columns of
the Hall of Fame completing the pic
ture. Truly, it is view worth going
many a mile to see, never lacking in
interest or variety, and thoroughly
typical of the great city wherein it
lies. The city man loves that view
and goes there often to rest by look

and noise of the city, at 1.-The beauties

PRIZE ANCIENT JURY BOXES
Officials of Two Massachusetts, Towns
Proud of ReceptacIes That Have
Been Long in Use.

Lynn and Saugus, noted in other
ways, are perhaps unique in their pos
session of ancient jury boxes. An
cient as American things go, for the
Lynn box has been in constant use
for $50 years, and the one in Saugus
has served for probably over 100 years.
Names of all men eligible for serv-
ice on juries were deposited in the
box, and from them those were chosen
who later acted as jurymen. There
is no reason to fear that either box
will soon cease to serve, so far as con-
dition of the materiar goes. For both
were made strong and fit to last for
many years more than they have al
ready seen. Both were made by hand
with hand-forged locks and hinges
Crude in general workmanship and
materials, perhaps they are, but they
are safe.
The Lynn box is II inches, long and
six inches high, and perhaps eight gor
ten inches wide. The lock is almost
five inches long by inches high, and
strong enough to guard house or al.
most castle. The handmade handle
allows freedom in carrying from one
place to another. Former City Clerk
Parsons used the box through his
whole term of office, and so far Jason
Attwill, the present clerk, has contin-
ued the custom.
Richard Mansfield, the first town
clerk of Saugus, made the box that
has been used in his town since. Sau-
gus was set apart from Lynn in 1915,
and presumably the box was construct
ed soon after Mr. Mansfield was grand.
father of George HI. Mansfield and of
Justin E. Mansfield, who is now jani-
tor of the town hall and keeper of
the lookup.
The box is made of thin wood nailed
together. Hinges for the cover were
made from wire loops, and the lock is
as large and as powerful as that of the
Lynn box. In the top is an opening
about three inches square for drawing
the names. The present town clerk,
Mr.. Parker, intends to use the box
whenever it is required as long as it
will hold together.-Boston Herald.
