HOW HOT is LieHTNiNoa

The question of the degree of
heat generated by lightning has been
agitated recently in German scien-
tifc circles because of the effect OBJ
served after electrical storms, of
lightning on the tips of lightning
rods. 1t was found that a platinum
tip melted on being struck. Since
the melting point of platinum is
Variously fixed at 1,70O to 1900 de-
grees centigrade, it was clear that
the lightning's heat exceeded that
temperature. Later an instance de-
Veloped in which an iridium tip was
melted by a stroke. The melting
point of this metal is said to be
1000 degrees centigrade.

BILL TO INCREASE GOVERNORS
SALARY is VETOED
Failure of Two Former Legislatures
to Comply With Constitutional
Requirements Makes 1t
Illegal

Madison-A bill providing for
submission of proposed constitu-
tional amendment to the people of
the state to increase the salary of
the governor, was vetoed Wednesday
by Governor Blaine on the ground
that two former legislatures had
failed to comply with constitutional
requirements in attempting the
amendment.
At the same time the governor
took occasion to express himself on
various moves to increase salaries,
In speaking of this subject he said
that while public officials should
be paid reasonable compensation,
state can never expect to compete
with private business in meeting
salary demands. There are consid-
erations entering into public en-
ployment and public service involv-
ing advantages that do not obtain
with respect to private employment.
"An honorable public record and
the rendition of unselfish public SER
vice constitute a compensation de-
voutly to be sought and such will
have a permaneney long after ma
terial gain has ceased to be. Public
officials who think only in terms of
salary increases lack the proper
mental attitude toward public ser
vice"
The governors present salary is
$4,000 annually. A number of state
employees receive more than he does.
1t was the contention of the gov
ernor that the two houses of the
1919 legislature which originally
passed the resolution calling for a
constitutional amendment, failed to
agree and that as a consequence
their action was a nullity. He like
wise came to the conclusion that the
action of the 1921 session was null,
and consequently the proposed
amendment could not legally be sub
mitted to the people at the next cleo
ton

Sheriff's Forces and City Officers
Stage Raids That Bring Many of
Them Into Court.
SOME ARE SECOND oFFENsERs
Second Time Up For Making or Hav-
ing Moonsh;ne Brings Jail SEN
tence Together With Fine.

The past week has been bad one
for moonshiners as the result of
activities on the part of the combin-
ed forces of the sheriff and the city
officers in making raids and nabbing
makers of moon. A case or two al
most every day before Acting Judge
+. c. Shimondle in municipal court

ing enriched several hundred dollars.
In some instances Jail sentences were
melted out together with fines. A
woman was among those who was
nabbed.

fore the judge on charge of hav-
ing moonshine in his possession. His
residence on Sixth avenue was raid

covered. Since it was the second
offense for Wolowinski he was
sentenced to serve 80 days in the
county Jail in addition to a fine of

who conducts a confectionery store
on the north side near the Hurley
lronwood bridge 1t was the
second offense for her and in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the
Severson enforcement act she was
given a Jail sentence in addition to a
fine of 500. The Jail sentence
was fixed at seven days.
Monday afternoon John Rosendahl
was arraigned in court as the pro-
prietor of roadhouse at Moore
which was raided by Sheriff Volant
and his assistants Saturday evening.
The sheriff, after diligent search
of the premises, during which he was
forced to lift rugs and uncover CON
cealed trap doors and openings in the
walls, found the desired evidence and
Rosendahl was placed under arrest
He was assessed a fine Of 5000 and
costs or 30 days in Jail.
One Of the biggest hauls in the
way of stills, Tcsh and moonshne
was made by /, hief Of Police Faul
and his assistants Wednesday even
ing when they raided the residence
Of Giuseppi DeRubis near Bonino's
park on the north side. Here two
stills were found, one Of them in
operation. The stills and other
paraphernalia were confiscated and
DeRubis placed under arrest, He
was fined $400 and costs in municip-
al court Thursday morning.
However, things were quiet in
court yesterday morning. Moth

University of Wisconsin to
Have Chimes.

University graduates must still
raise $4,000 and then the UNIVERSE
ty of Wisconsin will possess the best
carlton of chimes in the United
States and equal to any in the world.
The sum of $4,000 has already
been raised for this purpose and
letters have been sent out to the
present graduating class to raise
their quota of $4,000.
When the chimes are purchased a
special tower to cost about $4,000
will be built to house them.
Yale university has been noted for
its chimes but there is already
enough in the fund to buy set equ-
al to these. The set to be installed
at Madison will be similar to those
installed in the Queenstown cathedr-
al, England.
The total weight of the chimes
would be II tons. There would be AZ

Warden Gives Right Dope on Game
Fish Season.


On account of proposed changes
in the fish and game laws soon to
come before the state legislature,
there has been some confusion re-
garding the fishing seasons. In
some instances press dispatches have
given the information that pike,
muskellunge and bass seasons would
open earlier this year, in fact many
have been under the impression that
the pike and muskellunge season
opened May Is, this probably being
due to the fact that May Is is the
date set in the proposed changes for
the opening of these game fish sea-
sons. But since these new laws
have not yet been passed the game
and fish laws now on the books hold
good.
Deputy Warden Grey at Ashland
gives the following as theright dope
on game fish seasons:
Pike-June /. Ten each day,
not less than Is inches long
Pickerel--June 1. Ten each
day, rs inches long
Muskellunge-June l.. Ten each
day, "a inches long or 10 pounds in
weight
Bass-June IS. Ten each day,
10 inches long.
There is no closed season on rough
fish such as perch, bullheads, straw
berry bass, calico bass, crappies,
redhorse suckers, sunfish and roach,
