W hen we speak of m atter we usual

glass to be b rittle and of rubber to be
elastic.
The properties of some kinds of m at

of fire o r w ater or both. We can
change Iron into steel, we can make
b rass w ith a spring to it or without.
T here are some things th a t will re
sist the action of fire o r w ater to a

pretty good weight at one end of a
slice of bread if It is dry or stale, but
It you soak the bread in w ater It will
hardly hold Itself up.
You can hang a good sized weight

thread, but the m om ent you set Are
to the thread the w eight will fall tc

you will say, but w ith a little prepara
tlon you can convince them th a t this
will not alw ays hold true. It Is pos
sible to make a thread hold up a

been set on fire and Is apparently all
burned up.
If you will take a piece of stout
thread about a foot long and tw ist II
It It will tw ist upon Itself and you will
have a double thread, tw isted through
Its en tire length. If you tie one end
of th is thread around a lead pencil
and hang some light weight, such as a
paper fastener, to the o th er end so
th a t It shall swing freely above a

m ent of putting a m atch to It and see
how long It will hold up the weight.
But if you stand two books on the
table to support the pencil steadily It
Is possible to burn the thread com
pletely from end to end and still
have It hold up the w eight provided
you have In the thread some substance

so much as the thread Itself when you

we call brine, and soak your twlBted

Washington, D. C.—An amendment
offered by Republican Leader Mann,
proposing a rigid regulation of the is
suance of stocks and bonds, prevented
passage by the house of the Adamson
bill that would authorize a special
commission to ascertain the physical
valuation of railroads and other inter
state carriers with the view of aiding
the Interstate Commerce commission
in fixing equitable freight rates.
Debate on the bill, which was favor
ably reported by the interstate and
foreign commerce committee at the
last session, had been in progress
nearly five hours and a vote was about
to be taken when Mr. Mann moved
that the measure be sent back to the
committee with instructions that it be
reported with his proposed section
added. After an extended debate on
a point of order against the amend
ment, the m atter went over by
unanimous consent.
Mr. Mann's amendment would pre
scribe in detail how an interstate car
rier should incur indebtedness and
would prohibit the issuance of stocks,
bonds or notes except in return for
money or other consideration approved
by the Interstate Commerce commis
sion.
With a permanent corps of experts
inquiring into the value of carriers’
property, ahe proposed law would
make it possible for the Interstate
Commerce commission to fix rates on
the basis of profits to be realized on
actual investments instead of on paper
valuations.

Balkan Credit Is Good.
New York—George A. Crater, Jr.,
who has homes in London and San
Francisco, arrived here on the steam
ship Cedric from Liverpool. He said
that he had represented London finan
cial interests in negotiating the loan
to the Balkan states in their war with
Turkey. The Balkan countries, he de
clared, had gotten all the money they
wanted at 3 per cent and could get as
much more as they desired. This in

security of the European bankers in
the face of world war talk.

that the camp of the two men was at
tacked by outlaws and they sent to
Parral for aid. The Parral chief of
police and a band of civilians respond
ed, and when they arrived without un
iforms the Americans thought they
were outlaws and fired on them. The
chief of police was killed and the
Americans were arrested.
Turks Disregard Armistice.
Cettinje, Montenegro — Notwith

In accordance

to return the Turkish fire, which did
no damage. The Montenegrin troops

Senate Democrats Show Desire to
Prevent Confirmation.
Washington, D. C.—President Taft
sent more than 200 recess appoint
ments to the senate Wednesday, and
immediately indications of a move
ment among some of the Democratic
senators to prevent their confirmation
became evident.
Senatore Gore, it
was said, would have the active sup
port of several colleagues in holding
the movement.
The campaign is directed specially
against nominations which had been
postponed from time to time, thus
bringing the new terms close to the
beginning of the Democratic adminis
tration. Democratic senators contend
the president already has deprived the
Democrats of the privilege of appoint
ing 50,000 postmasters by placing
them within the civil service law by a
single order.
Most of the Democratic senators ex
pressed themselves as favorable to a
“ discriminating obstruction,” but sev
eral “ progressive” senators, whose
assistance had been counted on, did
not appear to be willing to co-operate,
it is said.
Washington, D. C.— Strongly urging
radical reform of the “ unreasoned and
unscientific banking and currency sys
tem of the United States,” Franklin
MacVeagh, secretary of the treasury,
freely warns congress in his annual re
port that the Federal government, as
long as the present scheme exists, will
be exclusively responsible for the com
mercial, industrial and social disasters
which flow from panics, and attack
directly or indirectly every home in
the nation.
He outlined his idea of
the necessary general provisions of an
adequate relief measure, such as
should bring the banks into organized
co-operation and provide for a central
agency, through which they could

Marshall Laud» Cooks.
Indianapolis—“ Good cooks are more
necessary than governors,” said Gov
emor Marshall in his address before
the Indianapolis Council of Women.
“ I think there is no one in this world,
aside from my wife, that is more com
petent than my cook. I think she is
well educated. I don’t suppose she
would be received at many of the so
cial functions, but she does her work
as it should be done. Any working
man in this city doing honest work is
more important to this state than the
governor of Indiana.”
Assay Offices Are Issue.
Washington, D. C.—The fight over
Western assay offices is to be renewed
at this session, the house committee
on appropriations having stricken
from the legislative bill reported all
appropriations for assay offices except
thoBe at Seattle, Deadwood and New
York.
At the last session the house re
versed the committee on this issue, and
probably will do so again this session.
If the house does not, the senate will
restore the appropriations and thereby
keep the offices open.
Liberty Statue Finished.
Armistice Is Not Limited.
Berne, Switzerland—The statue of
Liberty which the United States gov
ernment will present to the Philippine
Islands and which will be erected at
Manila in the near future has been
completed by the Swiss sculptor, Herr
Kissling, whose design was chosen in
an international competition.
The

000 when delivered at Manila, is
huge work in bronze, consisting of a
series of life-size figures dominated by
the giant figure of the Philippine na
tional hero, Jose Rizal.
Constantinople — An official note
issued by the government says:
“ An armistice has been concluded
with Bulgaria, Servia and Montenegro.
The state of war with Greece contin
ues.”
Although the complete terms of the
protocol have not been made public,
it ia learned that the question of re-
victualing the beleaguered towns was
abandoned, the government being sat
isfied that the towns were sufficiently
supplied with foodstuffs to last until
the conclusion of peace.
