THE CRITICAL STAGE. The critical stage of pure food legislation by the present Congress Is at hand. The IIouso has passed the amended bill and it is now up to the Senate to carry out the wishes of the people. There can be no mistake as to public sentiment throughout the nation, and if tho Senate does not give hoed, it will mean that it is bowing in submission to the will of corporate interests. 'On the excuse that the amendments. Injected into the bill by tho House arc obnoxious, many of tho Senate leaders refuse to give aid to the measure, but if the truth were known, it would be known that the Senate is in reality glad that the House has changed the bill, for it provides the plan for sidetracking the whole business. Perhaps, as claimed, House leaders pushed through the amendments purposely to annoy the Senate and thus insure the killing oj the bill, but whatever has traen the cause, the public understands that there is something blocking the progress of the pure food bill that should not bo permitted. The Senate knows that there is a demaad for legislation on this point, and even though the bill as it now stands may not be just what is needed, its enactment, would Ve a step In the right direction at any rate, and it would be shown to the American people that Congress is trying to carry out their wishes.

According to tho engineers who have In charge the great task of building tho Tanama canal, it will take until 1015 to complete the work. President Roosevelt thinks it ought to be done threo years earlier, or in 1912, and he has told the engineers that they must work to that end. With Ilooscvelt president throughout tho time that tho canal construction is in progress, there might be some chance of shortening tho task, but there may well be some question as to the power of his successor, who ever that successor may be, to keep things moving in the canal tone.

Tho Sixth District congressman mado another i sensational touchdown on the Congressional gridiron yesterday. Representative Watson's amendment to the immigration bill , passed after a fierce struggle in which Speaker Cannon took a prominent part on tho sldo of the Sixth District man. and probably saved the day. Representative Watson Is destined to figure even yet more conspicuously in the immigration legislation for Speaker Cannon has picked him out as the chairman of the commission that Is to be named for the purpose of traveling abroad and investigating the entire subject.

The next session of the Indiana General Assembly ought to be a merry one. The druggists, the doctors, the lumber dealers, the commercial clubs, the traveling men's organizations, the county and municipal officers and the school teachers all recognize startling defects in some of the laws that now exist, and advocate changes. The sixty days' session will be taken up with these questions if not a single new bill is Introduced, but when it Is considered that the sessions average three thousand bills, thereis grounds

for wondering how It air will tro ac

complished. '

SONGS OF THE PER WORTH KNOWING

Prof. Charles Eliot Norton has said that whatever your occupation may be, and however crowded your hours with affairs, do not fail to secure at least a few minutes every day for refreshment of your inner life with a bit of poetry. LOVE'S MARVEL. ,.; v By Richard Reaif. I think that love makes all things musical, As, melted in the marvels of its breaths, Our barren lives to blossoming lyrics swell, And the new births shine upward from old deaths, j Watching the world with wonder. Thus today Watching the crowding people in the street, I thought the ebbing and the flowing feet Moved to a delicate sense of rhythm alway. And that I heard the yearning faces say, -Soul sing me this new song!" The Autumn leaves Throbbed subtly to me an immortal tune; And when a warm shower wet the roofs at noon. Low melodies seemed to slide down from the eaves, Dying delicious in a dreamy swoon.

JfBA!" exclaimed Sherlock Holmes,

I see the tall middle aged man with the do you mean the one with the panama bat tipped down over his eyes? Yes, yes, I see that he has his bands in bis pockets. What about him?" 'Hist! Hist a few times, my dear Whatson. See, he has stopped to watch the workmen on that new building.

"That Is because you still have much to learn 4 In -the -deducing line. Can't you see that the slit In the back Is only four Inches long? The slit must be at least eight inches long In the stylish coat of the present season," ""'But what has all that to do with the, case? Who is he? What has he done? Ah ah, he is a government meat Inspector!" - "No, Whatson; you're wrong there. He Isn't a meat Inspector. That Is evident because he Is , not being interviewed by a reporter or having his picture taken while in the act of Inspecting a string of sausages. Look! He has taken his hat off and Is scratching, his head." 'But any man might do that. I don't see what there is to deduce from such an act." "Ah, my dear Whatson, I sometimes almost despair of you. How if he had not. done that could we have known that he was not bald headed?" "True! True! Curses on my stupidity! But I will learn yet, nolmes, I swear it" Leaving the doctor half stupefied, the great amateur detective approached a fruit stand near by and helped himself to a red apple. Chicago Record-Herald. '

WINDOW CLEANING.

Item of Eipeme That Mounts Up In the Caie of Big; BnlldlnBs. The cost of having house or apartment windows of ordinary size cleaned by professional window cleaners is about 10 cents a window. So a man living, say, in an apartment having ten windows would pay ?1 for having, his windows cleaned; if he had them cleaned twice a month $2 and if once a week $4 -a month not a matter of very serious moment But when it comes to big buildings, with many windows, the window cleaning question may easily be a very different proposition. The most recently opened of the city's great modern hotels has about 3,500 windows. Obviously if it cost 10 cents each to have these windows cleaned the cost of a single cleaning of them would be $350. If they, were cleaned twice a month at that cost the expense would be $700 a month, or $8,400 a year, and to clean them once a week at 10 cents a window would cost annually $18,200. As a matter of fact, the expense Is much less than that but still the actual cost of the work, done partly by contract and partly by the hotel's own labor, amounts to a sum that many a man would be glad to have for a salary or to have added to his annual income. The cleaning of the windows of this great hotel from the ground floor up to and including the parlor floor Is done by contract by a window cleaning concern. On the twenty floors above the parlor floor the window cleaning is done by men employed on the several floors, a man on each looking after the windows on that floor. For Its part of the work the window cleaning concern sends eight men, and the number of men employed by the hotel that work on the windows on the higher floors Is twenty. Thus It takes a considerable part of the time of twenty-eight men to keep the windows of the big hotel in order, and the annual cost of the work of this one simple Item of window cleaning is here about $6,500.

The Wealth of Nation. 4 The latest estimate of national wealth by a competent authority was recently given before the British' income tax committee by" Mr. Mallet, One of the commissioners of inland revenue. Mr. Mallet placed the national income at $9,000,000,000 against the $3,500,000,000 of Prussia. The capital of the United Kingdom he estimated as $42,500,000,000, which was double that of France and four times that of Italy. According to his estimate, tho number of persons possessed of fortunes of over $200,000 was in the United Kingdom 30,000, in France 15,000, In Prussia 11,000 and In Italy 1,500. An Englishman with an income Of $5,000 pays $250 income tax, a Prussian pays $212.50 on $5,000 of unearned income and $150 in" the case of earned "Income. The wealth 'of the United States cannot be estimated from any official source, but at the observed ratio of Increase noted in1 1900 it cannot well be less than $110,000,000,000 and is probably considerably greater, New York World.

Its Wonderful Ucrkaaiaai and How It Is Operated.'.. Th principle of the torpedo is the placing of a very large charge of high explosive-In- a steel case fairly alive with mechanism and so ingenious that the missile fired from a tube with a small charge of cordite or gunpowder will automatically direct itself to a given target and there explode. The Whitehead torpedo of today is a steel cigar or automatic porpoise shaped weapon or projectile from twelve . to seventeen feet long and eighteen inches in diameter at its widest When ready for firing even a small one will weigh over half a ton. They are delivered in five sections, which contain upward of 2,000 pieces of machinery. The wet gun cotton in the "war head" Is inserted in slabs, each with a hole in its center to receive the core of dry gun cotton directly connected with the detonating primer, which contains fulminate of mercury and a percussion cap. In front of the primer is screwed the water "nose" a very sensitive nose which operates automatically when the weapon strikes and sets off the whole charge. Behind the war head comes the chamber containing the compressed air that drives this singular projectile through the water. Into this chamber is pumped the air at a pressure of 1,500 pounds to the square inch. And this escaping through the valve leading to the little engines provides the motive power. Next comes the mechanism which automatically regulates the depth of the torpedo during its run. This ingenious apparatus has been kept a great secret and sold in turn to the various nations of the world. Not far from the tail of the torpedo are placed the driving engines. There is also a controlling valve, which can be arranged so as to close

automatically after the weapon has run a certain distance, thus obviating a

futile explosion in the event of the torpedo missing its target

At the end of the tail comes the

rudder, which keeps the torpedo

straight But the most remarkable

piece of mechanism Is the gyroscope,

like a child's top. It is set automatic

ally by the release of a' spring a moment or two after the torpedo is shot from its tube. It is the duty of this little device to correct the torpedo's course if it deviates in the slightest

degree from its Instructions.

France leads the world with her torpedo flotillas. Great Britain possesses about 110 torpedo boats of the first class, 114 "destroyers," 110 second class

boats and 29 submarines built or buildIng. Every nation is giving great atten

tion to its torpedo boats. Even China has 44 of the first class and 50 second

class torpedo craft Exchange.

Passing: of the Period.

"What has happened to our old

friend the period?" remarked a man who observes little things and has a

habit of reading advertisements. "It seems to have dropped out of use almost completely in the setting up of advertisements lately. And to any one who pays attention to punctuation the absence of the full stop puzzles him a

good deal. "Here's a book ad.,, for Instance.

Reading It as it is punctuated, it gives you reason to believe that In addition

to the author saying several ; compli

mentary things about bis own story he asks you if you've read It advises you to and tells you what its price is. Of course I know they want you to buy

their books, but I never saw one doiag

this in an advertisement before.

"Printers tell me It's the latest style

In composition to omit the period. If it is it's the silliest fashion I've observed in a long while, and I'll bet that when

that particular author sees that ad.

he'll think bo too." New York Press.

Kongo Punishment.

A missionary recently returned from

the region of upper Kongo, in Africa,

says that he saw there a curious plat

form thirty feet high erected in front of the head sentry's bouse. The latter informed the missionary that It was a large stage from which to shoot leopards, but natives told him that it was

a torture platform. Unfortunates who did not bring in sufficient quantities of

rubber were first beaten, sometimes al

most to death, and then taken to the

top of the structure and compelled to gaze at the sun until relatives brought

the necessary amount of rubber as re

demption. Sarasate, Who Wever Practices.

Sarasate, the great violinist, is in one respect very fortunate among musi

cians. He knows nothing whatever of the drudgery and weariness of practicing. Most well known singers and

great executants go on practicing with

more or less regularity all their lives,

Not so Pablo Sarasate. lie takes up

his violin for his own amusement, but his fluency and facility are such that

he can dispense with the irksome daily

task of playing to keep bis hand in.

Tainted Money.

The really unwholesome money, our greasy paper currency, tainted with a tangible and offensively pungent taint has long been a fertile subject for the pens of public sanitarians and bygienIsts. The carriage of infectious diseases by these omnipresent and ubiquitous microbe stages, the dollar bills, is far more than a possibility. New York Globe.
