A Possible Election Hitch-Other Items

D DISABILITIES growing out of \ the Tennessee suffrage tangle are being officially considered, notwith- standing the fact that Connecticut has since made a ratification of sorts The possibilities arise out of constitutional provisions that candidate must have majority in the electoral college to secure his election. If courts should declare,' after the election has oc- cured, that the Tennessee ratification of suffrage was illegal all women's votes cast under authority of the nine teenth amendment also would be ille- gal, and there would be nothing to do but throw out the whole vote of states where such illegal voting had occurred. Thus, no candidate would have a ma lority of the electors and the house of representatives would elect the presi- dent.

Rents Hurt Ghost Industry.

In England desperate people in search of houses to rent or buy are advertising that ghosts are no draw back. Any one who happens to own hitherto unrented house because tra- djtion says it is haunted is assured that the seekers for a domicile will accept it at the rental asked for re- gardless of the haunter or hauntess. It is suspected that in Englandz.-as in several other countries, ghosts of landlords would be less objectionable than those of other folk. Whatever his losses in the past, the landlord as a rule is regarded in these days with deep suspicion as protiteer In many cases this attitude is probably unfair; there are some considerate andlords.-Toronto Globe

ROCKING CHAIR IS ENDORSED
French Authorities Declare Great American "Institution" to Be
 PhysioIogicaly Correct.

Nobody who has studied the rocking chair will be surprised to hear that the French Academy of Science has declared it the most hygienic of all seats instead of a mere American fad. It is, as the academy says. physiologi- cally correct The trouble with it is that it is not always psYchologically correct. Its bahefu effects are not on the rocker, but on the behelder. It is an all-around joy only when if is not rocked. New England ladies used to test q new neighbor by getting her to sit in a rocking chair. If she could re- sist rocking she was of the elect. This simple test of the nerves has made or marred a great many newcomers pop ularity.
 The advantage of the rocking chair is that it puts the body in perfect balance. The skull is kept in the prop CT position But oscillation does not add to the benefit. It is good to find an invention which has been maligned because of misuse indorsed by the scientists. Let these gentlemen next find something good to say about silk hats.

The latter mark will be reached, according to under writers, If the cargo of wheat of the Italian steamer Etna proves total i loss.
 The fire started in the plant of the Texas Gulf Sulphur Company and spread quickly until all of the pier 35 was ablaze. An eXplosion of oil drums in the plant of the sulphur men reached the scene, and the plants of the Cotton Concentrating Com pany, the Anchor Milling Company and the superstructure of the Etna caught fire.
 For time the blaze threatened the entire west end of Galveston. Direct ly to the windward of the blaze and about four blocks distant were five tanks of the Magnolia Petroleum Com pany, each with capacity of 5000 barrels Of oil.
 Sparks from the blaze and the sub sequent explosion set fire to grass up to within a hundred feet of these tanks, while the ground for some dis tanee around them was saturated with oil. Had these reservoirs been reach ed it would have been impossible to stop the blaze, fremen said The en- tire fire fighting appartus of the city including the fire boat Charles Clarke, as we'll as two or three har bor tugs and about 150 National Guardsmen responded to the alarm After the explosion in the plant of the sulphur company scores of fremen were prostrated by the fumes and smoke, while squads rescued those who collapsed.

 National Guard troops played a not able part in fighting the blaze. About 50 per cent of the troops in the city responded to the alarm, and the first nozzle carried aboard the blazing Et- ma was dragged by squad of Texas cavalry, who erouched close to the dock to avoid the reach of the blaze.

 The station now completed is the largest in the world. It has eight S20-foot towers, and it's engineering features, while in general modelled on those of our naval stations at Arling- ton and Annapolis, are unique both in their magnitude and in some features of their design.
 The success of this station in transmission is eXemplified by the fact that the audibilty of it's signals, as measured at the naval radio labora- tory in the bureau of standards, is five times the audibility of the similar sig nals from the German radio station at Nauen.

 In short, when the dairy farmer of the future needs feed for his cows he may get fresh supply by going out in his wood lot and reducing few Stumps to sawdust.
 By chemical treatment sawdust may be converted into nourishing cattle food.
 This fact was made public at a sec tional meeting of industrial and en- gineering chemists, American Cheml- cal society, at the University of Chi cago.
 The process of preparing such ani-

 White sawdust, finely ground. is treated with diluted sulphuric acid in large boiler known as a digester, un- der steam pressure. This breaks up the fiber and extracts the sugar. To prevent injurious effects, the acid is neutralized by adding lime to produce chemical reaction.
 The liquid thus obtained, when boiled down, is rich in sugar and when mixed with the fiber produces a moist feed containing about 15 per cent of water, in which form 1t is fed to dairy COWS.
 At the forest products laboratory, United States department of agricul- ture, Madison, Wis, experiments proved that three cows thrived on this sawdust ration and not only gave more milk, but increased in weight. So says Uncle Sam.
 The result was so satisfactory that the government has decided to take the matter up on a larger scale at the experiment stations throughout the country and furnish detailed report on the value of hydrolyzed sawdust as cattle food. So says Uncle Sam.
 So there you are. Probably milk, cream and butter, with delicious saw dust flavor will soon be added to the H. c. l..

 1t was for long time thought that we would decide upon a Nicaragua route in preference to that of Panama but the final choice fell to the isthmus, mainly because of fear of the Niea- raugan volcanoes, which are very tenn peramental and sometimes fiercely ex- plosive
 Nevertheless the proposed line of the Niearaguan canal passed 50 miles south of the nearest active volcano and the route had certain conspicuous advantages. For one thing, the high est elevation to be crossed is only 155 feet (this being the lowest gap in the continents backbone anywhere from
