SENATOR PEPPER
 DISCUSSES LABOR Talks Of Strikes, Etc., at Ameri'

Philadelphia, July s, Discus sing ihjuneiioRs in labor disputes in an address today before a joint meet ing of the American Tar association and the Pennsylvania Rar association, United States Senator George WhaT' ton Pepper emphasized the growing bitterness Of organized labor toward lhs federal eourlsh and declared that under such a system Of government as prevails in this country the main tsnanee Of well-Righ universal cons ndenes in the judiciary was nearly essential" to national safety,

reports he will observe that the corn crop and other

money. The crops already growing should be fin

BY STEPHEN LEACOCK.

T GATHER that spring. is approach
ing. 1 am not an observant
man, but as the days go by the
Il signs begin to multiply. Even
for me that means that spring is at
hand.
l take this early occasion to notify
the public of my opinion and to sup
port 1t with collateral facts. 1 am
anxious this year to be among the
first in the field. With spring. then,
upon us, | should like to suggest that
this year we meet 1t firmly and
quietly and with none of the hys-
terical outburst that 1t usually pro-
vokes in people of a certain tempera-
ment- I refer to those unfortunate
beings called lovers of nature"
Each year have been pained to
notice that the approach of spring
occasions a most distressing aberra-
tion in the conduct of many of my
friends. Beside my house, a few doors
on the right, have an acquaintance
who is a nature man. All through
the winter he is fairly quiet and an
agreeable, friendly fellow, quite fit
for general society. I notice him, it
is true, occasionally grubbing under
the snow. / have once or twice seen
him break off frozen twig from a
tree and examine 1t. On one occasion,
indeed, last winter he was tempo
rarily unnamed by seeing a black
bird otherwise ha.rmless) sitting on
a bough. But for the most part his
conduct during the colder weather is
entirely normal.
Spring, however, at once occasions
in my nature friend a distressing dis
turbance. He seems suddenly to de-
sire at our every meeting to make
himself a channel of information as
between the animate world and me.
From the moment that the snow be-
gins to melt he keeps me advised as

A Queer House.

nNE OF the strangest. domiciles on
~ earth Is that erected at Yokohama,
by a Japanese bacteriologist. It
may be described as dustproof.
airproof, germproof building of
glass which stands on the open, un-
shaded grounds of the Hospital of
Yokohama
This house is forty-four feet long,
twenty-three feet wide and seventeen
feet high. Large panes Of glass,
one-half inch thick and about four
inches apart, are set in iron frames
so as to form the sides of cellular
building block. OF these blocks the
walls are constructed. There are no
window sashes, the air escape being
through several small openings
around the upper part of the sec
ond story, but through which no air
from the outside is admitted
The air supply is obtained from a
considerable distance, forced through
a pipe and carefully filtered through
cotton wool to cleanse 1t of bacteria.
To insure further protection and

which captures all the germs the
wool spares. The few germs
brought into the house in the clothes
of the visitors soon die in the warm
sunlight with which the place IS
flooded.
The space between the glasses of
the building blocks is filled with a
solution of salts which absorbs the
heat of the sun, so that the rooms
of the house are much cooler than
those protected by the thickest
shades. In the evening the interior
is heated by the salts radiating the
heat they have absorbed during the
day.
So effective is the system of reg
ulating the temperature that a few
hours of sunlight. even in freezing
weather. will render the house
habitable. 1t is only when several
cloudy days following in succession
that artificial heat is needed. Then

Lakes Without Bottoms.

1T is reported that about twelve
miles southeast OF Roswell in
New Mexico, there are located some
dozen or more deep lakes known
locally as the "bottomless lakes"
Their situation is at the foot Of the
bluffs on the east side of the Pecos
river. 1t is probable that their origin
is to be ascribed to the melting of
the gypsum as the water flowing
from the plains rushed over tho
bluffs, dissolving the gypsum to such
depth as to tap the subterranean
waters of the Pecos valley. There
out the valley: in some places they
reach a depth of 500 feet. There have
been more than 500 artesian wells
dkilled in the Pecos valley. They are
generally sunk to a depth of from
700 to LOO feet. In many of the
lakes the gypsum rock is laid bare
and subjected to a wash of water
on its way to the surface. The entire
formation from eighty feet downward
is full of water and the water is con-
tinually coming into contact with
the gypsum.
The line of bluffs above the lakes
is broken by crevices, and for some
distance back care has to be exer-
Cised in walking these. Many of the
crevices have wild cat dens, and prob
ably other creatures inhabit the
caves, for they lie in a primitive
region.
Visitors to the bluffs 100 feet or more
above the lakes state that the en-
bankments are nearly vertical in
some places.
Certain of these lakes cover fifty
or sixty acres, while others are just
round holes across which one can
throw a stone. The water is of great
clearness, a white pebble thrown into
ii being seen for a considerable dis
tance on it's descent toward the bot
tom A dweller near one OF the lakes
states that he has measured the
depth of a lake near his home and
has found a bottom at about 500
feet There have been observed a
number of rocks extending from the
walls near the surface of this lake
and il is probable that there are the
same formations deeper down, so that
this man may have got bottom
on one of these, instead of finding
the true bottom. 1t is but natural
that those who have not investigated
should believe the lakes to be bot
tomleSs.
