Forced Early Ferrymen
to Charge Uniform Fee

Just as persons who have monopo-
lies on the sale of necessities can
extract exhorbitant prices, m ny
ferrymen of early Ohio could de-
mand unreasonable rates to trans
port passengers and freight. Not
only that, they could spite persons
with whom they had quarreled by
refusing to take them across the
river, notes a writer in the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.
So the Ohio legislature came to
the rescue of those who were being
victimized by enacting laws which
compelled ferries to transport pass
engerS and freight as well as mails
within reason, of course, as when
the waters were not raging from tor
rental rains.
The assembly set up system of
license fees for ferrymen, depend
ing on the amount of business they
were realizing at various points of
passage, and fixed the following
rates of pay: 40 cents for a foot
passenger; 20 cents for a man and
horse; 81 for a loaded wagon and
team; rs cents for any other four
wheeled carriage, or empty wagon
and team; so cents for a loaded
cart and team; 371s cents for an
empty cart and team, sled or sleigh
and team; 10 cents each for horse
and cattle; and 3 cents each for
sheep and pigs"

decade of last century after man
named Jacob Lewis of GAINESVILLE
had been convicted of first-degree
murder and ordered to be hanged,
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Up
to this time no person or official
group had even the power of re-
prieve. But Lewis had influential
friends who made a plea to the leg
islature for a communication of his
sentence. After much argument and
discussion, the legislature passed a
law giving the states chief execu-
tive the power to reprieve and COM
mutation of sentence. Lewis SEN
tence was changed to life imprison-
ment.

Cats Rule the Weather

1t was an old North of England
superstition that cats largely ruled
the weather. The cats-or witches
in the form of cats-used to cause
storms, and then ride on them. Also,
it was believed that the great gusts
of wind which whirled the rain
about were caused by the breath of
a dog belonging to Odin. 1t was
these old ideas that gave us the
common phrase, raining cats and

Human Eye Regarded as
Natures Greatest Gift

Mother Nature polished off her
happiest invention the day she took
a sphere about the size of a ping
pong ball, implanted therein few
optical gadgets whose analogs can
be found in small box camera,
and labeled her product the human
eye, says Literary Digest.
Nature practiced a good deal on
the animal kingdom before she per-
fected her chef-d' oeuvre. She gave
the eagle set of eyes which are
virtual telescopes, able to distin-
guish tiny objects from incredible
distances. And the zebra has eyes
with horizontal pupils, the better
to see while grazing with head to
the ground. A bee distinguishes ul-
traviolet light to which the human
eye is blind.
Insects have compound eyes par
ticularly suited for seeing motion.
The dragonfy's eye has $4,000 fac
cts, each set at different angle.
Owls can see in the semi-darkness.
Fishes are specialists in underwa-
ter vision. Ages ago, Nature gave
some of the huge reptiles a third
eye in the back of the head to keep
watch on danger from the rear.
But man alone possesses an eye
with vision sharp enough for read
ing and close work. Man also has
the inestimable advantage of see
ing things in three dimensions. To
practically all animals, vision is a
two-dimensional affair like a pic
ture on a billboard, with colors
more or less .absent-birds, for in
stance, can not see blues and vio-
let's.

Representative Dickstein, Democrat,
Of New York, chairman of the House

day that Congress ought to do some
thing about keeping ham actors"
from alien lands out of the United
States.
He spoke during a crowded commit
tee hearing at which Lawrence Tib-
bett, opera star, and Walter DAM
rosch, orchestra conductor, appeared
to discuss a bill to restrict entry of
foreign actors, musicians and dancers.
Three uniformed policemen were on
hand. They went into action when
listeners and witnesses broke into ap-
plause after DamroSch had finished
talking.
II hope the public will stop this"
Dickstein said. I'VE aren't in the
opera house or theater now"
The bill would permit entry of an
alien entertainer only after the Secre-
tary of Labor had received an applica-
ton stating an American of sufficient
talent was unavailable.
Otherwise the number from any
foreign country would be limited to
the number of American performers
granted admission to that country for
professional engagements.
Tibbett, president of the American
Guild Of Musical Artists, opposed the
latter provision, saying I'VE fully be-
