CALLS IT LOOSELY DRAWN Awserts Democratic Leaders Cannot State Accurately Just What Indus- tries It Will Affect—Representative Moss of Indiana Defends Measure and Also Lauds Canadian Treaty. ‘Washington, May 2.—The house of representatives resumed debate on the tarift with a determination to com- plete the discussion of the free list bill this week. Representative Moss of Indiana, in a’half hour’s speech, declared himself in favor of the present free list bill and convinced of the merits-of the Ca- nadian reciprocity bill recently passe | by the house. Representative Longworth of Ohio, a Republican member of the ways and means committee, attacked the free list bill in strong terms in the first speech of the day from the opposition side. He declared the bill was vague in its terms and so loosely drawn that even the Democratic leaders could not say definitely what industries it would affect il it became a law. Mr. Long- worth declared that Chairman Under- wood of the ways and means commit- tee could not tell him even what para- graphs of the -Payne-Aldrich tariff la are affected by the frée list bill.

SUPPOSED WORK OF ENEMIES 8tore of Wisconsin Merchant Wrecked by Dynamite Rhinelander, Wis.,, May 2.—As the alleged result of a political feud the store of Fred R. Tripp at Sugar Camp, Oneida county, was shaitered by the explosion of a dynamite bomb sup- posedly placed in the building by ene- mies of Tripp. Tripp and his wife, sleeping on the second floor, were hurled from their beds and narrowly escaped death in the flames, which broke out after the explosion and consumed what 1- mained of the damaged building Tripp has been prominent in politi- cal circles and it generally is believed that the outrage was the resit of tre.- ble during recent campaigns, CHINESE REVOLT SPREADS Rebels Capture Three Important Towns Near Canton.

How refreshing it would be to have a glimpse of the man's rork in his studio! Fully aware that It was not his custom to admit stran- gers, they ventured upon the pilgrim- age to that shrine. They counted on his waiving the rule where it con- cerned a group that contained at least one full fledged national academician and several associates of that august body. They all went to Scarborough (Prout’s Neck), put up at the hotel and sent him a joint note, signing their names and begging that he would re- ceivé them.

No Color In the Dark. In the dark there is no such a thing 8s color. The reddest dress is just the same color as a pure white tablecloth when both are placed in a dark closet. If you would understand this assume the presence of a light wave motion in the ether. The color of light depends upon the length of these waves. The light waves producing the colors in the blue end of the spectrum are very short compared with those that pro- duce the colors near the red end. The light source that we know as red gives off only waves of a length to produce that particular color. A hody appears red because its surface absorbs all the other waves and reflects the red waves back into the eye. If an attempt is made to light a blue body with red ight it will fail, because the blue body is capable of reflecting only the short waves producing the blue. and since { the red source produces none of these there will be no reflection and the body A thing looks black when it is capable of absorbing all the colors at once.—St. Leuis Republie.

He derives it from a certain Captain Fudge. who seems to have been a marine Munchausen. *“You| fudge it" is sald to have been his| crew's equivalent to the modern “Rats!” In a collection of some pa- pers of William Crouch, the Quaker, published in 1712 It I8 recorded that: one Degory Marshall fnformed Crouch/ that “in the year 1664 we were sen-| tenced for hanishment to Jamaica by!
