Afohan Idea Of Justice

Some grim stories are told of At
CHAN justice. A moolah (priest) show
cd his disapproval of the ameer's pI o.
Dectiye journey to India by predicting
that he would never return. The priest
was summoned to the royal presence
and asked whether he had made such
remark. Knowing that there had
been several witnesses present at the
time he answered in the affirmative.
He was commanded to repeat his re-
mark. AS he did so the ameer cried,
do not say another world" He in
structed tailor who had been sent
for, to sew up the lips of the moolah,
seying: His mouth shall be opened
should l return safely: but should /
fail to return, open his mouth and pro.
claim him a true prophet throughout
Afghanistan.'

Sled Merry Go BOUNDS

IN northern Germany wherever a
lake or pond offers it's smooth ice, the
young people make a sled merry 20
found. which ends in sort of snap
inc whip and affords a scene OF great
hilarity. A vertical shaft is stuck thru
the hubs of two cart wheels and into
a hole in the ice. The under wheel
serves as a turning base, while the up
per one supports cross beam to one
end of which string OF sleds is at
tached. Each sled is boarded by rid
er, the cross beam is showed around
by a dozen or so strong hands, and
the file of sleds swings around in an
ever widening circle and at a high
rate of speed. The end usually is a
spectacular upset for all the riders.

HOW old Are the bio ices

An age as great as 5000 years has
sometimes been ascribed to the giant
trees of California. The latest figures
seem to indicate that such estimate is
very much exaggerated. One investi-
gator, who counted with great care
the rings of a tree felled in 1853, and
which was fully twenty four or twen-
ty five feet in diameter, SO that its
stump served as dancing pavilion,
states that the rings numbered 1,147.
and that the number would represent
the age of the tree in years. This au-
thority gravely doubts whether any of
the existing trees approach the age of
1000 years.

Ranld Newspaper Photography

Photography, for the illustration OF
newspaper articles, has reached the
proportions of a vast business enter
prise. At the head office of the news
nicture concerns are editorial and
Photographic staffs. The newspapers
are gone over in the morning, and the
items which suggest pictures are not
ed. The photographers, like so many
reporters are sent out on assignments,
End they usually collect considerable
news material in addition to the photo
graphs. Upon their return from their
assignments they develop their pic
lures and write suitable captions. The
latter are edited for good English
and accuracy, as If they were usual
news articles, and then mimeographed
ready to be attached to the prints,
which are enlarged by special mechan.
ioaI devices on rapid paper, so that
scores may be turned out in the brief
time permitted in modern journalism
About three o'clock in the afternoon
the pictures are sent out to the morn
ing papers of the country. vs

Queer Laws

There are in force in Switzerland
certain laws which, in the hands of
the INSCRIPTIONS, may work great

there can be no dispute. For instance.
In most cantons men and women may
be punished not only for what they
have actually done in the past but al
so for what may possibly result in thu
future from what they have done. Su-

New Process Of stamina Glass

The art OF coloring glass has been
lost and rebound, jealousy guardec

thing new on glass staining Yet a

The glass first receives it's design
in mineral colors and the whole is
lLen fired in heat so intense that
me coloring matter and the glass are
indissolubly fused The most attract

surface acquires a peculiar pebbled
character in the heat, SO that when
the glass is n place the lights are de.
lightfully soft and mellow.

Asks Payment of State Debt.

Madison-A accommodation that
that the state debt to the Trust
Funds be paid Immediately n d
the money made available for
loans to communities for public
improvements will be m a. de by
Fred r. Zimmerman Secretary of
State, in his first biennial report.
This debt which amounts to
S1,963,700, dates back to the Civil
War. The state has paid 7%O in
terest on this debt for sixty years,
and at the present rate of liqul-
dation, it will require twenty
years more to- wipe it out. 1t
should be explained that the in
terest at 10 is paid to the educa-
tional funds of the state and is
not a loss to the tax payers, but
the injustice results from the fact
that many localities desire to bor-
row money from the Trust Fund.-,
and since the fund is not sufficien
to accommodate all the communi-
ties they are obliged to pay from
sixto seven percent, whereas If
this debt paid, the amount would
be available to such communities
at 40 as provided by law, and
and would result in a substantial
saving to the tax payers in such
communities.
This debt has been the storm
center of many political contro-
versies. A large part Of it was
collected from the federal govern
ment in installments at various
times, but istead of being applied
towards liquidating the debt, it
was paid into the general fund and
used for defraying expenses of the
tate government, while taxes
levied for that purpose were re-
mitted. In 1908, Secretary f
State, James A. Frear, in his off
cial report, recommended that no
taxes be RENTED until this debt is
paid. Mr.. Zimmerman makes the
same recommendation.
