SOLONS
AGAINST PRIMARY
Delegation in Congress avor of Repeal of Stately Wide
Election Law
Election Law,

While the fight for the repeal OF
all or part of the Indiana primary
election law has died down, there is
an undercurrent Of feeling among
persons who have watched the ac.
tivity Of the Legislature and OF enc
mics of the primary that it win come
up again,
One Of the strong factors against
the primary IS the influence Of the
Indiana delegation at Washington
whore Hoosier Senators and Repre-
sentatives oppose the present sys-
tenn. 1t has been understood gener-
ally that Senator James r. Watson is
behind the repeal movement.
A dispatch from Washington today
carries views of Representatives
Moores, Sanders, PurneH and Vestal.
Elliott, according to the dispatch,
insisted the problem and RESPONSE
bility should be left to the Indiana
legislators. Senators New and Wat
son have refused to discuss the sit
uation, but are known to be opposed
to the primary. Other members of
the delegation could not be reached.
Moores said: 'I think it should be
repealed"
Sanders said: ''T think it should
be repealed down to Congressional
candidates, where voters actually
know candidates"
Purnell said: "I favor repeal Of
the presidential primary. The pri-
mary for Senator and Governor works

After a conference Senator Watson
held with the reelected Republican
House members, sentiment in ref
erence to the primary was obtained.
It was said, however, that the dis
cussion related only to the Republican
condition in Indiana, which Watson
reported improved, and to committee

Congress.

A Novel Tug=of-War.

TWO huge steam locomotives OF
modern type were decisively de
feated in a tug-of-war contest with
single electric locomotive of new
design in a test in an eastern city.
The electric gave its opponents
heavy handicap by allowing them TO
start first, but gradually brought
them to a standstill as the current
was turned on, and then drove them
the other way.
Five of the huge electric engines
are being placed in passenger serv-
ice on the Pacific coast end of one
of the transcontinental lines. They
are entirely gearless. Twelve OF
their fourteen axles have motor ar
natures mounted directly upon them
that give a total OF from o,760 to
$3.50 horsepower, The engines weigh
$4,000 pounds, run on a 3.000-volt di-
rect current, and can make more
than sixty-five miles an hour with
load of twelve cars.

The package contained two rather

Nectar and BeeSWax.

A CCORDING to BONNER OF the
French Academy of Sciences.
flowers make nectar for their own
use, and not. as other authorities
have contended, to attract the bees,
in order that they may carry the
pollen on their legs and bodies from
one blossom to another. .t..:
BONNER has, it is reported, demon
strated also that bees do not get
the wax of which their honeycotnbs
are built from the flowers, asis gen
orally supposed, They secrete IT
themselves. The wax is fatty sub-
stance. formed in special glands, sit
uated under several rings of the ab
domen. 1t exudes in the form OF
whitish fakes, which the bees gather
with their legs and use as building
material.
The. nectar formed at the base of
the corella of many flowers is4used b.
the fertlized fruit or seed as ,.nutri-
ment in growing. much as. the yolk ef
an egg Is used by the embryo chick.
This is proved. by the disappearance
of the nectar as the fruit bud en-
,larges. But the nectar has another
uze--namely, -.tos check the eyapoEa
,tfon OF water from<the surface Of TIE
plant. for, sweetehed water eYapef-
ates much more slowly than unswsei-
ened. ~ - ~
The bees suck up the nectar. which
does not pass into the stomach. but
into an expansion of the esophagus.
There it undergoes partial chemical
transformation under the influences OF
substance, called inysrtase, which
acts as fernent. When the bee dis
gorges the honey into the wax cefl il
also discharges little invertase
and, before closing the cell, lin!
drop of venom from it's sting 70 pre-
vent fermentation. Thus the bees
may be said TO have invented antisep-
tics before Pasteur or Lister. II is
this drop of poison that preserves the
honey for years.

Thread Rolling.

THE rolling process Of forming
screw threads may be described az
an impression or displacement
method, since the grooves are not cut
by an edged tool. but are formed by
means Of die or roll having threads
or ridges that are forced into the
metal and. by displacing it, produce
a thread of the required shape and
pitch.
The blanks upon which the threads
are to be rolled are somewhat small
er in diameter than the finished
screw. for a certain amount of metal
is displaced and forced out beyond
the original circumference of the
blank. The increased diameter is ap-
proximately equal to the depth OF tho
thread. Screw threads that are with
in the range of the rolling process
may be produced more rapidly by that
method than by any other.

X-Ray for Steel.

V-RAYS, which have hitherto been
used chiefly for finding out con-
ditions in the human body, are now to
be used, according to the experts, in
examining steel and timber. One OBJ
vious application is examining metal
castings for blowholes and other de-
fects that cannot be revealed by ex-
ternal inspection and that yet ma.
seriously impair the strength OF t.e
casting. Rough analysis Of different
steel is also feasible. Since different
metals vary in the resistance they
offer TO the penetration of the rays.
according to their atomic weight. it
becomes possible to distinguish diff
ferent alloys by the X-rays. Thel
method has its limitations, because
the rays penetrate only about four
inches into ordinary steel and stili
less into special alloy steels. :.
