LITTLE PROGRESS At Topeka
Legislature Has Only Passed Two
Bills Out of Nearly 800 So
Far Introduced.

The close of the second weeks ses-
sion of the state legislature sees com
paratively little accomplished. The
state lawmakers have been unusual
ly slow in getting started.
There have been introC uced in the
two houses a total of 285 bills, and
only eleven have been passed by the
house, with two having been passed
by the senate. None of the measures
which have been passed are of other
than minor Importance, and the two
passed by the senate are purely rou-
tine, providing for the pay of the leg
islators and their employees, and for
the expense of the presidential cleo

The roads question is up in the air.
The farmers in the house have come
out flatly against building any roads
in the state for the next two years.
The senate is more conservative, and
the fact that there has been appoint
ed a subcommittee from the house
and senate roads committees to eff
feet a compromise between no roads
at all and heavy road building pro-
ers are against it.
The Kansas teachers are making a
request which by reason of its urg-

office of state superintendent of edu-
cation be abolished by constitutional
amendment and that a state commits

elected, and chosen for professional

Ethel, almost desperately. So they
began.
Elizabeth quickly prepared q mixture
from which the beads were to be
made. She used two tablespoonfuls OF
rornstarch, four tablespoonfuls Of salt,
and two tablespoonfuls OF cold water.
Directed by Elizabeth. Ethel placed
the salt In a pan and set 1t on the
gas stove to heat. While she did this
elizabeth mixed the cornstarch with
the water.
When the salt had become very
very hot, 1t was dumped into the corn
starch and wafer. and just as soon as
1t became cool enough the girls mixed
and kneaded it like dough.
Everything was then ready for the
making OF the beads

SHARK HIDES BEING TURNED
 INTO LEATHER
CBy Associated Prcss)

VICTORIA, B. C. Oct. l4 Sharks in the waters along the British Col umbia coast are to be turned into leather, liver oil, fertilizer, jeweIry, and finally dollars, according to plans of Sidney RuCk head of the Consoli. date Whaling Company, who has re. signed to launch the new industry. Organization of the new company has been completed, and the reducing plant will be erected on the A5crni canal.
 Sharp fishing, like whaling, is tC be carried on along the west coast of Van couver Island. where, Mir, Ruck says examination has shown that the huge sun sharks. some of them weighing two thousand pounds, race up and down in schools of thousands. Recent ly one of the coasting steamers re- ported running into a solid mass of these big fellows.
  ried on after the fashion of whaling with harpoons shot from guns
 Livers of some of the big sun sharks which are 60 to 65 per cent oil, yield up to twenty gallons of the finest shark oil IL is used for medical pur- pose and fabrication of delicate me chanisms. Livcrs of the smaller mud sharks found in the waters between the island and the mainland. yield about ten gallons of oil.
 Teeth of sharks are in great demand for the manufacture of necklaces it is stated. owing to a new fad in neck ornament which recently developed. !
 The fins are almost pure gelatine. They are cured and sold to Orientals, who use them in preparation of table 1. delicacies
 Membranes and intestines are turned ! into gloves, glue and gut, blood and flesh into chicken food and fertilizers. l The head is solid mass of cartilage . glue
 The most valuable part of the fish is the skin. which has the toughness , of vulcanized rubber The outer sur face is as rough as sand paper This is taken off by acid treatment, and the skin is tanned
