MYSTERY TOWERS WERE ID
 GUARD ENGLISH CHANNEL

LONDON, April 2. (P)-The mys- tery of two huge towers, built on the
 south coast of England during the
 war and never used, has been clear ed up. The towers, so feet high and built at a cost of approximately $5,000,000 each, were to be the fore runners of many similar ones for the defense of the English Channel.
 They were to be lowed out to sea and strung together across the Straits of Dover, linked together al distances of few hundred yards with nets and heavily fortified with guns. In the top of each a powerful searchlight was to be placed.
 The Armistice, however, made it to continue the scheme and the towers were anchored off Shoreham for some years. One has been broken up and the other is used as lightship off Spithead.

Economy Program
Is Not So New

Governor Christianson's economy
program, with which the 1927 state
legislature has grappled in the ses-
sion just closed, recalls a somewhat
similar program introduced in the in.
augural address of Governor Alex.
ander Ramsey on July 2, 1860, and
acted upon by the second state legis-
lature.
In his address Governor Ramsey
spoke with regret of the financial
endorsements of the State and
the people; the universal depreciation
of the value of property; the general
stagnation Of business; the expensive
ness Of our state, county and town
ship governments, and the consequent
onerous taxation" He had conf
dence, however, in the future of his
state. "The day cannot be far dis
tant," he said, when Minnesota
guided by wise and prudent counsels
shall be as prosperous in her affairs.
as she is blessed of Heaven in her ad-
vantages," and he called upon the
legislature to contribute to that re-
suit, by so reducing the scale of ex-
penditures, that taxation shall not eat
up the substance of the people. Ram
sey recommended that the salaries of
certain executive and judicial officers
including his own-be cut, and that
legislative expenses be greatly reduc-
ed.
The legislature took Ramsey cat
his word, cut down his salary from
twenty-five hundred to fifteen hun.
dred dollars, and also trimmed the
salaries of other officials" In order
to reduce the cost of legislation-the
field where the governor found the
Largest scope of retrenchment"
size of the Senate was cut from thir-
ty-seven to twenty-one members and
that of the House from eighty to
forty-two. Another law provided
that legislators could not receive pay
for more than sixty days of any reg
ular session or more than thirty days
of an extra session.
Through such measures the expens-
es of the Minnesota government were
reduced from about S149,5O0 a year
to a little over $4,000, and in 1861
the governor was able to report that
the floating debt had been reduced
within twelve-month by the sum of
$4,000"

FRENCH RIVAL OF EDISON

An American recently expressed te
"a Frenchman his surprise that in the
country Of Pasteur pasteurization OF
milk was almost unknown. eyes,
replied the Erenchman, "it is we who
make the discoveries and inventions
and it is other people who apply
them" He might have illustrated
his remark by reference to the con.
tention, reiterated on the recent oc.
casion of the eightieth birthday OF
Thomas A. Edison, that a Frenchman
Of far less practical bent invented a
photograph at about the same time
that Edison invented him.
Charles eros, who in 1877 sent tt
the Academy of Science a memoran-
dunn on the subject, is regarded by
some Frenchmen as being one of the
inventors of the photograph. It is
not asserted that his achievement
antedated Edison's edison made his
first photograph in 1870, but that he
found way to reproduce the sounds
of the voice at approximately the
same time.
The difference in their procedure
is perhaps typical of American and
French methods. Edison hit upon g
scheme for reproducing sounds. He
at once built a photograph, which
soon became known to the public
eros also discovered a means of re-
cording sounds. He did not construct
an instrument to do it. Instead, he
prepared a communication to the
Academy of Science explaining how
it could be done.
The result was equally typical
eros sent his communication to the
Academy in May, 1877. The acad.
envy did not read it, or at least die
not acknowledge its reception, until
December of, that year. Meanwhile
Edison was gaining fame and his
photograph was in operation, while
eros was wondering how he could pay
his rent and the members of the acad-
envy were probobly wondering wheth.
er there was really anything in this
scheme.
A plaque is to be placed upon g
house in the Rue de Tournon-the
house where eros died-recalling the
invention of the photograph, "s
French invention" But it was. ii
America that the monograph was
developed and distributed soon after
its invention.-NewY York Times.

"A most tragic accident occurred
Saturday morning of last week when
Joseph Rebel of Sleepy Eye was
trapped at the bottom of twenty
six foot well on the William Remus
farm. Sand which caved in from
near the surface of the shaft cover
ed him with only a thin layer, but
caused suffocation before successful
efforts could be made to remove the
earth. Hooks were made from half
inch rods, three or feet in length,
and with these fastened under his
arms the men were able to remove
the body from the pit, but not until
almost four hours after the tragedy.
Sand had covered his body causing
suffocation and death.
