The fastest time on record for tho
making, compiling and publishing of a
statute book conies from Oklahoma.
Tho legislature recently adjourned was
in session 120 days. On tho morning of
tho bust day there had not been passed
enactments that when printed would fill
to exceed sixty pages of an ordinary law
book. At tho close of tho last day tho
signature of the governor was placed on
enough more to fill a statute book of
1,200 pages without tho index.
Among these wero included a codo of
civil and criminal procedure in both dis
trict, probate and justice courts and law.-;
governing crimes and punishments cov
ering iiOO pages. Within thirty-five day
from the final adjournment these laws;
were copied, corrected and arranged in a
manner that Chief Justice Green, of tho
territory, pronounced jwrfect, with f-irle-and
head notes for each section. With

commit tee hail turned in its last copy
the printed volume, comprising over

and said that the mountain was sinking.
Soon the alarm spread and parties start

They soon found that a very largo fis

shape of a semicircle, and largo tree.-,
wero falling in every direction. The
amount of laud encompassed was about
forty acres. By examining closely they
found that other fissures wero opening

places is as much as six feet wide and
tho depth is unknown. Cor. Atlanta

Tho Anglo-Turco-Russian complica

Roumanian interests, being jeopardized,
by tho continguity, or in fact proximity,
of the ulterior understanding approxi
mated by tho Montenegrin protocol, and
tho disintegration of tho ultimate con
junction precipitated by tho Herzegov
