JONES' PACE RAPID
IN SENATE ACTIVITY
His Committee Reports Out
Four Bills Carrying Huge
Appropriations.

One of the busiest men on Capitol
Hill during the three weeks Congress
was in session before the Christmas
recess was Senator Wesley L. Jones,
Republican, of Washington.
In that brief period the Senate APP
preparations Committee, Of which he Is
chairman, studied and reported out four
important appropriation bills, aggregat-

annual supply bill and the Interior De-
partment appropriation bill.
AS committee chairman Senator Jones
had the talk of following up the Farm
Board and emergency construction
measures until final enactment. The
two regular appropriation bills were adj
vanced to a position where they will
receive final action by Congress shortly
after the session is resumed next week.
While these important appropriation
bills were being brought from his COM
nittee, Senator Jones also was in charge
of the bill for the promotion of the
health and welfare of mothers and in
fants, which was before the Senate for
consideration prior to the recess, and
is still the unfinished business.
In addition to these duties in con-
nection with the legislative program.
Senator Jones had Office correspondence
averaging IS letters day during that
time.

CIVILIZED SOUTH AFRICA
STATUS is DESCRIBED
Minister Louw, in Radio Address,
Glasses His Country as Among
Most Modern of Nations.

Contrary to popular opinion in this
country civilized South Africa is as
modern in every respect as the United
States, according to a radio address
last night by Elic H. Louw, the
Minister from South Africa.
Mr.. Louws words were relayed
through the Columbia Broadcasting
System to audiences in Montreal, Cape
Town and other parts of the world.
The Minister expressed surprise TO
find general suppositton here that
South Africa is a Dark Continent
through the jungles of which roam wild
animals and barbarians.
He told Of South Africa's civic inn
provements, her public buildings,
shopping facilities, residences, cultural
advantages and opportunities for sport.
With regard to the material wealth
of the country, he pointed out that
South Africa produced most of the
worlds gold, 85 percent of its diamonds
and was well to the front in agricul-
tural development.

Bill VIII Be Offered.
The American Association for Labor
Legislation in particular will round out
its arguments for a bill which would
set up unemployment reserve funds sim
liar to workmeIls compensation funds.
The bill will be presented to the Legis-
,atures of the AZ States during the
coming year.
John B. Andrews Of New York, sec
rotary cS the association, said the feast
bility of the plan has been demonstrated
in two instances. "One of these" he
said, sis the setting up of reserves for
the paying of dividends in time of de-
preston. That is protection for the
stockholders. The other is the setting
up of reserves for workmen's compensa-
ton That is for the protection of the
workers"
He said the proposed legislation would
stimulate sterilization of industry and
would tide over those who are invol-
unfairly unemployed during periods
when they are forced out of industry
for one reason or another"

CLEVELAND, December 29.-Weird
ghost pictures" of butterflies, some OF
them dead for so years, which are pro-
duced on a Photographic plate by some
mysterious emanation which in old
times might have been called an escap-
ing soul, were displayed before the
American Association for the Advance
ment Of Science here today by Austin
H. Clark of the United States National
Museum.
While the nature of this emanation
which affects a plate like light has not
been determined, there are indications,
Mr.. Clark said, that it is gas contain
ing sulphur, originally constituent of
the wing pigments, which is produced
by the decomposition of the bodies. The
fact that it will not pass through glass
or quartz renders improbable the thesis
of some organic light radiation. Further

BAD WEATHER SETS
RECORD IN FRANCE
Beset in 1880 by Worst
Storms and Floods in
Past $50 Years.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PARIS, December 29.-The year 1890
will be long remembered IN France as
having beaten all records for bad wealth.
er for over one and one-half centuries
Not since 1773-the year when King
Louis XIV still lived in the Versailles
Palace-has this country seen as much
rain and wind and been swept by as
many storms as during the year that
now comes to an end.
Such unparalleled bad weather has
brought to France a range of mourntul
catastrophies. They have succeeded
one another from the beginning or 1880
until the end. In January heavy tenn
pests devastated the coasts of the Brit
tany Chanele, taking scores of lives
For days the light houses on the At
lantic had in the air their signals of
distress. In March. after weeks of
rains. the rivers broke out of their beds,
inundating wide areas. Several hum
dred people died, victims of the floods.
June beat all records for rains. Not
one day of this month passed without
thunderstorm. Late in August, after
the most rainy Summer for $50 years,
the sun began to shine over France.
But the spell of good weather was short
lived.
Terrific Gales in September.
In mid-September came again the
terrific gales which exceeded in strength
by far those of January and June. Not
for long time had France seen such
devastating winds, such showers of
water split by the skies. Tornadoes
swept over the south, over the north,
born by the ocean and dying in the
Alps. A feet of fishermen near Brit
tany was swallowed by the waves
Houses were torn off the ground.
Bridges were ruined by the water, woods
were outrooted. France arose out of
these gales with her soil so deeply
drenched that accidents did not cease
to occur during october and November.
In Lyons hillside slid down, entomb-
ing 80 people. Near Nantes a train
glided off the track, washed by water
HarvestS Of cereals were badly dam
aged by the rains. Wheat showed a
deficit of about 80 per cent over the
previous year. The harvest of wine for
the current year appears to be one Of
the scantiest for the last 20 years.
Late in November the French Wealth
er Bureau observed in various spots of
territory phenomenon considered ex-
tremely rare. A rain of mud fell on the
Pyrenees, on Paris, Brittany and Bel
GUM. It came from Algeria, where
cyclone of particular strength had flung
sand far into the sky, carried off to the
north, spilling it over Western Europe

The month of December was not
spared by the enraged elements. The
Algiers harbor was devastated by a

Dor. Thus the only real respite from
the rain and gales which France had
during 1880 occurred near the end of
