Prior to the present congress, the
Federal Government had appropriat,
ed to Wisconsin for Highway Con-
struction s7,0O6.O17.51. The State
has had to duplicate this amount
during the past five years. This large
sum has been appropriated to the
counties. one third in proportion to
assessed valuation, and one third IN
proportion to highway mileage. Each
county has been required to provide
an amount at least equal to half its
apportionment from the joint federal
md state fund 1t is thus Wisconsin
has been able to carry on one OF the
most extensive road construction pro-
grams undertaken by the several
states.

Remarkable Insect Longevity.

Insect longevity records appear to
have been broken by the finding of a
soft white wood-boring grub that had
spent more than forty years in thor
oughly seasoned birch board, five
eighths of an inch thick, in bookcase
at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. The owner of
the old bookcase discovered a newly
made opening and conical pile of
wood chewings, extracted the matured
larva, and gave it to III. e. Jaques of
the Iowa Wesleyan college.
Being biologist, Mr.. Jaques put it
in box and let it develop into an adul:
beetle. 1t proved to be Eburia quadri-
geminate Say, longicorn commonly
known as the honey-locust borer,
which is recorded as an inhabitant of
hickory, ash and honey locust.
In communication to Science, the
official journal of the American Assoc
citation for the Advancement of Sci
ence, Mr.. Jaques wonders how and
why this insect should have spent so
many hundrum years in board with
out coming out for air and water.
Previous records show that two sim
liar beetles were found in an ash door
sill, when scientists were sure that
the eggs were laid there nineteen years
before.

Wild Animals Being Wiped Out.

Seals have recently appeared off the
English coast, in the vicinity of the
Wash, and they are to be killed off.
This has raised protest from those
who argue that, by refusing to protect
certain animals; the English are grad
ually causing them to become extinct.
East African lions are regarded as
vermin, and are killed as SUCH Pro-
lection has been withdrawn from the
small herd of elephants In the Aldo
bush, South Africa. 1t has been de-
creed that sea lions on the Pacific
coast Of America are to be extermi-
mated. The wild cat, once common In
the north Of England, is now only
found in the Grampians; it will soon
be an extinct species, with it's skel-
eton In a museum.
If we could take peep into the fu-
ture we should probably find aston
fishing changes In the animal world. 1t
will not be a case of the survival of
the fittest, but the survival of the
most domesticated. The wise beast
who proves that he can be useful to

1t will be recalled that it was pre-
dicted in this paper several months
ago that the failure of the Legisla
ture to provide revenue to meet ap-
preparations made would inevitably
result in a shortage. That such a
shortage will be experienced is now
predicted by State Treasurer John
son who this week notified the gov
ernor that the depletion of the gen
eral fund during July and August
~.oints to shortage before March.
The only remedy for this is for the
governor to refuse to approve capt.
al expenditures by the board of con-
troll, the normal schools and the univ
ersity, or to refuse also to approve
new highway construction contracts.
To do the latter involves the risk OF
the state failing to get its share o.
the Federal road construction APP
preparation. Capital expenditures, it
should be explained, are those of the
nature of permanent investments,
such as building construction and
equipment. Who is to blame for this
threatened deficit? You can figure
it out for yourself. The legislature
passed and the governor approved ap-
rropriations amounting to several
million dollars for each of the two
fiscal wears in excess of what it was
plainly shown revenues had been pro-
vided The worst phase of the fail
IRE to provide funds was the hypo-
crisy displayed. Men who were in
strumental in securing the enactment
of the appropriations posed as friends
of the PEOPLE because they opposed
any kind of tax to meet the discrep-
ancy. When an appropriation bill is
duly passed, approved and published.
the tax payers of the State are thus
obligated to provide the money just
as truly as if a tax for the amount
were duly levied. So to rose as OPP
posed to increasing the peoples tax
burdens while authorizing the expend-
'ture of money that must be raised In
some manner is the sheerest hyo-
crisy.

RITUAL OF AGONY
Remarkable Religious Rites Dear
to MaIayan Sect.
Two Days of Fasting Followed by
Hours of the CrueIest Tortures
SeIf-lnfiicted.

A religious sect Of the Malays has
| just been keeping festival dear to
them as Christmas is to us, writes a
| correspondent from Singapore to the
London Daily Mail. The feast started
with procession early on Sunday
morning, when they carried costly
| idol from one temple to another two
| miles distant.
| A silver chariot, with canopy and
| dais, on which the idol had been car
ried, was placed at the entrance to an
avenue Of palms leading into the tenn
pie and lined with banners worked
with allegOrical designs. In the porch
were four great hollow statues, gro
tesque affairs like effigies destined for
bonfire; these had been carried by
men walking inside them. Here also
were two fine white bullocks adorned
with silver anklets-animals kept
solely for the purpose of drawing the
chariot in the annual procession.
AS was about to enter. the tenn
pie a tall, strengthening native
emerged and told me to remove my
boots. As did so and took them out
side the porch he crashed coconut
on the steps, then picked up the largest
piece and returned i followed him.
The temple itself was dark and
dirty. Smoky flares lighted up two
affairs before which priests we're NUT
tering prayers, tearing up green leaves
hn Al
ledge at the base of the idol
/ followed the tall native right to
the foot of the altar; there I saw him
place his portion of coconut beside
many other half-nuts, each holding
two bananas and a tender leaf, which
is eaten as food by the Malays. The
priest blessed them and offered them
to the idol, which was fully revealed
for few seconds by the light Of a
torch.
Each man then claimed his fruit and
nut, together with pinch of powder
like sandalwood ash. With this he
touched his tongue and head, and
made three white lines on his fore
head and neck. Then he Frustrated
himself as If for the exercise per-
formed in physical drill in response
to the command, "On the hands,
down."
Many of these men are very wealthy
and ordinarily wear European dress,
but during the last three days they
have been wearing nothing but gold
ornaments around neck and arms and
a snowy white loin cloth thrown into
strong relief by their shining black
skins and jet black hair.
The idol was brought back in torch
light procession on Sunday night. On
Monday the natives practiced the
craziest feats of endurance-indeed,
could hardly believe the evidence of
my own eyes.
In the temple, where the air was
fetid with the smell of burning sandal
wood and perspiring humanity, were
men with hundreds of little darts
sticking into the body, wearing shoes
containing spikes which penetrated
deep into the foot, and drawing
wagons containing offerings Of fruit
for the idols by cords attached to fish,
hooks stuck in the flesh Of the back.
The face of each of these men was the
personification of agony.

UNMARRIED BY HAND OF TIME
Human Bodies and Relics of Roman
Gaul Found in France, Almost
Perfectly Preserved.

Camville Julien, a member of the
French academy, recently submitted
10 that body sensational report on
the archaeological findings in the neigh
borhood of Clermont-Ferrand (capitai
of the department of Puy-de- Dome, 212
miles southeast of Paris), which. as
it were, bring to light the whole daily
life Of a small market-town of the
time of Roman Gaul. In the Canton
Martre-de-Vegre some people while
working with a pick on a property
struck on something hard, which
seemed to be the lid of Gallo Roman
sarcophagus. Upon lifting the lid they
found wondrously beautiful woman
whose flesh was perfectly preserved as
on the day of her death, eighteen CEN
turtles ago. Also the tresses of her
black hair seemed as if unaffected.
The finders, however, had only a
brief enjoyment of this astounding
sight, as under the action of the solar
heat the woman's body in a few mo-
ments crumbled into dust, so that all
that remained was skeleton wrapped
in dress. Further searchings and
excavations yielded five more equally
well-preserved tombs, in which objects
of the greatest archaeological interest
were found, such as coins, vases, pot
terry, baskets, toilet articles, women's
garments, shoes, and even fruits, bare
ly shriveled up, and box-tree twig
still perfectly green.
The SavantS who examined these
Gallo-Roman findings are convinced
that the miracle Of the preservation OF
the corpses through eighteen centuries
was due to the neighboring springs
from which escaped carbonic acid gas,
which, being heavier than the air, dis
placed the air from the collins, ana
preserved the bodies, perfectly fresh,
for 1900 years. The scientific experts
declared that never before have been
found bodies and objects from that
period in such perfect preservation.
