How Secrets Nav Be Preserved.

Synthetic inks, by means of which
writings remain Invisible until the pa
per on which they are used is subject
ed to certain eXter Val influences, have
long been known, INT disappearing
paper, the decay OF which at the end
Of fixed time destroys writing and
all, is somewhat Of a novelty.
Such paper, 1t appears from a
French report, was invented some time
ago. 1t is prepared by sleeping in
acid, the strength Of which Is varied
according to the lease of life intended
to be bestowed upon the paper. After
a longer or shorter time the paper dis.
integrates and falls to pieces. 1t Is
suggested that this kind of paper
would be boon to those who do not
wish to have their letters indefinitely
preserved.

The United States isn't the only
country that has esteaders-those
enterprising pioneers who leave thick

families into virgin territory to create
homes for themselves. The Philippine
islands have thousands Of thrifty home

EXPERT HUNTERS WAGE
WAR ON SAVAGE BEASTS.
Compared with some individ-
ual members OF the mountain
Hon, wolf, and coyote families,
Gullivers hungry giants and
giantesses were light and dainty
eaters. All these animals are
classed as predatory, but a few
specimens develop exceptional
skill and cunning in killing cat
tie, sheep, and colts. They usual
ly acquire equal skill IN avoid
Ing traps, poison bats, and rifle
fire, and often do thousands Of
dollars worth Of damage before
they are killed.
The bureau Of geological sur

Of Agriculture. keeps a staff Of
expert hunters In the field for
the express purpose Of Kidding
government range lands Of these
four-foOted outlaws and thus
assist in relieving the ranCher.
A government hunter killed a
mountain lion near Roosevelt,
Ariz., that had destroyed 80
calves and three colts on a single
ranch, One Wolf slain by anoth-
er hunter III New Mexico had
killed 90 calves. Another, in
Wyoming, slaughtered 80 head
Of cattle before one Of Uncle
Sans hunters shot the criminal.
A pair Of Wyoming wolves that
had learned exceptional cunning
and cruelty ran yearly board
bill amounting to about $500.
Their meal tickets were cancelled
by a couple Of Well-aimed rifle
shots by a government hunter.
Two other wolves, which showed
gustatOry preference for mutton
and young horse flesh, in d single
month killed $50 sheep and seven
colts, but at the end Of the
month hunter collected their
pelts.

well-known Atlanta concern, was
the purchaser of the majority of the
hogs. Local representatives of Will
son & Co. also figured in the buy
ing.
Allen Oliver, a member of the Full
ton County Pig club, entered the

INCOME, SU|RTAX
PLAN IS ADOP TED

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-The
compromise income surtax plan, en-
bodying a maximum rate of so per
cent, was adopted today by the SEN
ate. ....... l.
The vote was 50 to IS, all those OPP
posing the compromise being Repub-
Means. They were Calder, Cameron,
Dillingham;, Edge, Fernald, Freling-
huysen, Hale, Harreld, Keyes, Nc
Lean, Moses, Smoot and Spencer.
The senate voted, 43 to %, against
continuing, after this year. the pres
ent Surtax rates on that portion of
incomes in excess of 100000. The
proposal was made by Senator
Hitchcock, Democrat, Nebraska, and
it's defeat paved the wayFfor a vote
on the compromise amendment call
ing for a maximum rate of So per
cent on, that portion of incomes in
excess of 5000, 900.
The senate then voted down an
amendment by Senator Calder, Re
publican, New York, to make the
maximum rate 80 per cent to apply
to that portion of incomes in excess
of $68 1000.
The vote on the Calder proposal
was 81 to IS, the supporters being
Republicans only. They were: Bur
sum, New Mexico; Calder. Cameron,
Dillingham;, Edge, Ernest, Fernald,
Freliughuysen, Hale, Keyes, Nc
Lean, Moses, New, Page and Smoot.
Issue Settled by Senate
Senator LaFollette, Republican,
Wisconsin, gave notice that he
would ask for another vote on the
Hitchcock amendment before the
ebill finally is passed, but it was
the opinion of leaders on both sides
that the surtax issue had been def
+ nitely settled so far as the senate
was concerned. The compromise
plan, however. will have to run the
gauntlet of house opposition in con-
ference and there were predictions
that the maximum rate finally
agreed upon in the conference would
be around forty per cent.
After voting in the SurtaX rates,
the senate rock UP an amendment
by Senator Gerry, Democrat, Rhode
Island, proposing normal rates of
two per cent on the first $4,000 of
income; four pes cent on the second
$4,000; per cent on the third IS, /
600, and the existing rate of 8 per
cent on all over $4,000. After some
discussion, the amendment went
over at the request of Senator
Lodge, Republican, Massachusetts,
who said he desired to obtain Off
cial figures as to how much loss
of revenue would result from such
a. plan.
Senator Gerry has proposed that
the loss of revenue, which he est1.
mated at $135, 900, could be made
up through increased corporation
taxes, a levy on gasoline and re-
tention of some of tho so-called lux
ury taxes, proposed for repeal.
