Paying in Dresden China.

Little pieces of red-brown china
bearing the usual Dresden mark are
being passed from hand to hand in
Saxony. It is not that people are bar
tering their cups and saucers or are
getting rid of the contents Of their
china cupboards, nor are they making
each other presents of the delicate
porcelain for which the mark Of Ores
den has been noted.
A new coinage in porcelain has been
put into circulation to suprsede small
paper money, and one Of it's valuable
assets is the fact that it can be
washed, so no one need complain Of
dirty money. The little red-brown
discs have met with hearty welcome,
and the factory Of Meissen has never
sent out anything more popular than
these little pieces of china that are
too small for a plate, too shallow to
hold water and not adorned with any
thing but the most simple devices.

Would Fire Mcclenahan.

The departmental affairs committee
split in four ways as to the proper
line of action to follow in regard to
of Public Instruction McClenahan.
The senate committee turned the mat
ter over to the house committee, feel
ing that it should not act upon mat
ter which might come up before the
senate for decision, in case Of inn
parchment proceedings. The majority
of the house committee found that Nc
Clenahan was unfit for the further
holding of office, and SO reported. The
minority declared that McClenahan
had followed precedent, and should
only be censured.
The report Of the majority commit
tee was received by the house, and
resolution providing for the impeach-
ment of McClenahan was introduced
by Representative Kline. The resolu-
tion was later referred to the judi
ciary committee. There is no prob
ability Of the house voting to i'm
peach. Charges against other state
officials have boiled down to very
little substance.
The moving picture censorship bill
is having hard shedding, and although
supported by number Of social serv-
ice organizations, is. not likely to go
far.
One of the more important meas
ures Of the session was passed by
both houses and signed by the govern
or, this being the Russell Sage founda-
ton small loans bill, to eliminate loan
sharks. The law does away with the
present fee system, and permits a
charge OF 31a per cent month on
loans of under $500 secured by chattel
mortgages.

Cut State Fair REQUEST.

The state fair board ran into the
axe when a bill to provide additional
funds for the completion of the cattle
barn at the state fair grounds at a
cost of $S2, 1000 was trimmed down to
an appropriation of $4,000 for pay
ment of special assessments and the
completion Of the purchase Of requir-

action is considered significant.

THREE RINGS AROUND SATURN
Fact Known to Astronomers, but
Their Composition Has Not Been
Definitely Determined.

The inner ring of the planet Sat
urn. known 10 astronomers as the
Crepe ring" because ii Is much less
brilliant than the others, has a thick
ness of 1900 miles, while the other
rings are very much thinner. accord
Ing TO observations made by Prof.
William II. Pickering of Harvard, at
the Harvard astronomical station Mt
Vaudeville, Jamaica.
The thickness of the rings of
Gaturn has long attracted the inter
ost of astronomers. This planet is
surrounded by what appears through
a small telescope to be Il single fiat
ring Of exceeding thinness. Through
a larger telescope this is seen Ia he
in reality three c%oncentrlc rings.
Every 16 years or So the earth
passes through the plane Of these
rings, which are then in II position
cdgewise TO the earth. So thin are
they that for n while they disappear
and cannot be seen until the earth
moves GU of their plane.
Astronomers believe these rings to
be composed of innumerable small
meteors revolving In dense swarms
about the middle portions of the
planet.
Professor Pickering Is also en-
gagged in studying the canals on the
planet Mars. and is searching for the
still undiscovered planet which is be-
lieved to revolve around the sun far
outside the orbit of Neptune. the out.
planet yet discovered in the
solar system.
