GOV. CAMPBELL TO NAME
 NEW STATE BANK CHIEF

The state banking department, ere ated by the special session of the legislature last winter, will come into being July l. It will be quartered in the old state treasurer's office, on the second floor of the capitol, ad- joining the offices of the governor. It will consist of bank superintendent, one deputy and chief examiner, one bank examiner, one accountant and one stenographer.
 There has been some speculation as to whom the governor will give the appointment of bank superinten- dent. The appointment, according to law, cannot be made until July 1. The name of Charles Fairfield, the state auditor, has been mentioned wholly unofficially, as the man who will be appointed. It is understood MT. Fair field wishes the position. It will pay S5000 a year.
 The appointment will be for a short term, or until about January 10, when a full term appointment of four years will be made by the gov ernor then in office. The matter of a short term and full term was much debated in the legislature, democrats contending that the full term man should not be appointed until Janu- ary 1, when they expected to see a democrat in the governors place. The republicans opposed this movement, but finally yielded rather than see the bill killed.

ALL EMBRACED BY DEATH

The ancient death dancs" was re- vived when a performance of the long forgotten custom was given in the Church of St. Egidins at Labeck, Ger many. A visitor describing his expert ence of 1t says On entering the church in the dim twilight he noted myster.- ous lights flashing from the gallery while soft music was played. The curtains which had hidden the gallery were then drawn aside and the old building, rich in carvings dating from the Renaissance, was lit up by a cold blue light The music ceased and then a tall, undefned ghostly fig- ure playing flute was seen. Up the darkened nave procession now ap- peared, the players clad in medieval dresses. Heading the procession were the emperor and empress, the cardinal, the aristocrat, the doctor, the usurer, the nun, the peasant and the mother with her child. The procession mount ed to the gallery and then disappeared in the dark. The death flute ceased Its weird music and Death ordered the emperor and then the remainder of the procession before the tribune and condemned them all, irrespective of position. Death then danced with them, the dancers showing their terror or relief by realistic movements. The shrill accompaniment of violin broke the silence. Finally Death convulsivs ly gripped the child, the music became more weird, till at last the organ broke Into a crash of chords, the players dis appeared and the church was once more flooded with light.

FAITHFUL TO ABSENT SPOUSE

The classic example of wifely fidel. ity is Penelope, beautiful Greek wife of Ulysses, conqueror of Troy. For 20 years, while her husband was away at the Trojan war, Penelope remained faithful to him, in spite of frequent reports of his death and the important ties of her many suitors. The story of how Penelope outwltted these scheming lovers has been handed down to us by no less a chronicler than the great Homer, who immortalized hey deeds in "The Odyssey"
 Penelope, who was the daughter pl Icarius, also a famous Greek, wnS sought in marriage by scores of the eligible youths of her day. Unable Q choose among them herself, she ask'H her father to decide upon sonic law. Icarius determined that tF- fleetest of foot among the suito', should win his daughters hand, aI,. instituted a foot race in whicl. Ulysses, the fthacan, was victorious
 When Ulysses was called to tn siege of Troy, 1t was 20 years befor' he returned. Before he settled down to enjoy his long-deferred domestic happiness, however, Homer tells us he killed all the men who had basel ' taken advantage of his absence.

BIRDS TONGUES VARY WIDELY

Some curious data have been gath cred with respect to the tongues of birds. It Is pointed out that many persons suppose that woodpeckers use their sharp-pOinted tongues as darts with which to transfix their prey. It Is true that the woOdpecker, like the humming bird, can dart out its tongue with the greatest rapidity, and that its mouth is furnished with an elaborate mechanism for this purpose, yet investigation shows that the ob- ject of their swift motion is only to catch the prey, not to pierce it. For the purpose of holding the captured victim, the, woodpecker's tongue is furnished with sticky secretion.
 Inasmuch as 1t possesses the power of initiating speech, it is not surpris- Ing to learn that the parrots tongue resembles that of man more closely than any other birds tongue. It Is not because the parrot is more intelli- gent than many other birds, but be- cause its tongue is better suited for articulation than theirs that it Is able to amuse us with its mlmicry.
 In some respects the hummlng birds tongue is the most remarkable of all It is double nearly from end to end, so that the little creature is able to grasp its insect prey very much as if Its mouth were furnished with a pair of fingers.

MCNEIL, SANTA FEE OFFICIAL,
 SUCCUMBS TO INJURIES

James E. McNeil, inspector of track and roadway for the Santa Fe coast lines, died few days ago in Los An geles.
 McNeil was 75 years old and had been railroad man for 50 years. He was one of the most prominent and popular of the Santa Fe officials in the western division.
 His death recalls the tragic acci- dent in which five Santa Fe officials were killed when a front axle of a railroad motor car in which they were riding collapsed and the car left the track and overturned four miles from Wickenburg last November. One of four other occupants of the car, MT. McNeil sustained broken shoulder.

ARIZONA IN GOOD CONDITION
 SAYS THE STATE TREASURER

"If figures don tdliedetaoshrdluu
 "If figures don't lie, Arizona is in Masonic Building, FlagstaffetaOinshr better financial condition that at any time during the last 12 monthc," declared George Erhardt, deputy state treasurer. He bases his remark on the monthly treasurer's report for May, showing a balance on hand at the end of the month of $4,026,S12, as against $3,11S,000 at the begin ming of the month and as compared to a general average of $2,0O0,0O0.
 Receipts for the month was $581,- 631, in addition to the fund of $1 1,500,- 900 realized from the sale of state tax anticipation bonds. There was paid out in warrants during the month the sum of $1,174,000. Carried In the bal ance is the sum of $1,025,000, which will be used to pay off the first issue of tax anticipation bonds which will become due in September.
 Despite the large balance, the state prison and several of the institutional funds are showing a deficit. This sit uation will be remedied with the re- ceipt of tax moneys which are ex- pected before June 15. On that date the state treasurer will take up g large number of registered warrants, If there are any registered warrants remaining unpaid, they will be taken care of on July 1, according to Err hardt, as on that date the state fi- nancial code will go into effect. Un, der the terms of this act all funds will be dumped into the general fund thereby greatly simplifying the pres ent system of maintaining some 200 separate funds.

LIGHTS PUZZLE JACKRABBITS

In travelling the roads threading the Nevada desert one notices the well-de- fined rabbit trails criss-crossing the sand and leading off into the brush. And when there Is moon, the jack rabbits gambol merrily along the side of the road, shadowy and unreal in the moonlight until they cross the brilliant path cut by the automobile lights. Then bunny gets confused, stops, sits up, with ears elevated and awaits until the car is within few feet of him, then off he romps into the wayside brush, unable to comprehend these artificial balls which fail to keep the respectful distance observed by the moon.-Christian Science Monitor.

ATTORNEY GENERAL AGAINST
 MEDDLING WITH COLORADO

"There is no question that the pro- posed strengthening of the channel of the Colorado river near Blythe will in- tensify flood conditions below there by creating possible menace to both the Yuma valley and the Imperial valley" declared George H. Maxwell, notable irrigation and flood control expert.
 'The attorney general of Arizona is absolutely correct in his refusal to all To wany meddling with the stream. The proposition of California interests to annext Arizona river lands in an effort to save their own is to say the least a high-handed proceeding"
 Referring to the recent report of army engineers recommending the blasting of a new channel on the Ari- zona side at Hauser's bend, Maxwell said:
 'The war department has absolute ly no right to undertake such work. It has admitted that the Colorado is not a navigable stream and it has no justification, either legal or moral, to interfere in this manner"
 Maxwell stated that owing to heavy late snows in the upper basin of the Colorado he had reason to expect an exceptionally high flood this month. He likened tn eBlythe situation to that of the St. Francis basin on the Mississippi river. When this large natural reservoir of flood waters was diked off, it accentuated the flood conditions below imperilling the lives of thousands of residents.
 There is no such thing as perma- nent control of the Colorado by build ing levees," he said. '"The only sol ution is through the construction of dams and reservoirs"

FISH LIKE BOA CONSTRUCTOR

There is singular cOrdlike creature of the sea called the nemertes borlassi, sometimes twenty or thirty feet long, which entwines and swallows lts prey after the manner of boa constructor. Down among the seaweed stems e1d pointed rocks it may be seen, a long, black, tangled string. It presents a tough, slippery India rubberlike ap- pearance. A sea-string 1t is, but not a weed. It is a living lasso, capable of consuming the prey inclOsed within its treacherous fOIC5.
 Taken from the water, this sea worm hangs Helpless and motionless, a mere string across the hand. One cannot tell where it begins or ends. It looks like a strip of dead seaweed, or even tarred string. Such, apparent ly, is the impression it makes on the little fish that plays over it, until at last it touches what Is too surely head. In an instant a bell-shaped sucker mouth has fastened to the fish'S side. In another instant, from one lip, & concave double proboscis, just like tapir'S has clasped the fish just as a firm finger would. And now begins the struggle, but in vain At last the victim is tired, and slowly, yet dexterously, its blind assauant Is feeling and shifting along the fish's side until one end is reached. Then the black lips expand, and slowly and surely the curved finger begins pack ing the fish end foremost down the gullet.
