An English reporter says that he hid himself in the shrubbery and made a noise like a dividend, but even then the man wouldn't come out. The Wall Street Journal says: Of the 1100 members of the Stock Exchange, 91 live and do business in other cities than New York. One of the members has Its headquarters at Los Angeles and another at New Orleans and there are many Chicago, St. Louls, Pittsburg and Boston houses In the Exchange. Of the B90 firms represented In the Stock Ex change, 314 maintain 527 branch offices and these branch offices are located in cities and towns in 29 of the 46 States pt "the Union. Two hundred and twenty-six years ago a house was burned in Boston, which led to the promulgation of the first building law. This fact develop ed at a legislative hearing this week, and when told by Assistant Solicitor Child aroused great Interest. The or der passed on March 16, 1681, was as follows: "About noon the chimney of Mr. Thomas Sharpss house In Boston "tcoic fire. The wind drove the fire to Mr. Colburn's house and burned that down also. For the prevention where of in our new town indended this somer to bee bullded we have ordered . that no9 man there shall build his chimney with wood nor cover his house with thach, which was readily assented un to." M. iBertlllon, who originated the meth od of identifying criminals now used by every important police force the world over, admits having learned his meth od of finger print Identification from the English. Sir William Herschel, whom Bertlllon regards as one of his teachers, studied the subject while in India, where he became so convinced of the efficacy of the system tihat he not only contributed much of the first important literature on the subject, but brought back thousands of finger prints of Eng lishmen with him. Francis Galton was the other English pioneer in the sub ject, which finally attracted the atten tion of the Frenchman. After a long end close study of a vast number of iflnger prints he estimated that the chance of two sets of prints being iden tical la less than one in 64,000,000,000. Herr Bebel, the leader of the Social ist party in Germany, is described by . Professor Ernest Schnabel of Berlin as the most finished and effective speaker in Germany. "This man had no ad- ! vantages of early training, no universi ty education, and indeed gained his knowledge of literature through his own unaidd efforts. He worked at the trade of a wheelwright in his younger days, but even wh '. struggling for a living he was a close student, particu larly of governmental affairs and polit ical economy. His views are obnoxious to a great majority of his fellow mem bers of the Reichstag, and yet when ever he rises to speak he commands the closest attention of the legislators. Among his followers ihe is Idolized, and they obey him as implicitly as if he were thair king. He is a man of aus tere life and is said to be without even the smaller vices of mankind." "Haven't you and your friend got through with that argument yet?" ask ed a parent of his youngest son. "It isn't any argument," answered the boy. "I am merely telling Jlmmie the facts in the case, and he is so beastly stubborn that he won't, under stand." Chums. "Discharged," snappel the court, when 'the millionaire was arraigned for Violation of the speed law. "But I'm guilty," said the prisoner. "Of course, you are," remarked the judge, "but you would consider it a fine joke, and the public w'ould think it was persecution. Next time you scorch, please ou t scorch the cop, that's ail." Philadelphia Pub lic Ieiger, A CBASQE 10K THE SETTEU. With a view to determining the rela tive efficiency of billboard and news paper advertising for naval recruits the navy department has decided to abandon outdoor display temporarily, and let the papers go it alone. There isn't any reasonable doubt about the outcome of the experiment. Newspaper advertising is the best ad vertising. This is coming to be better an better - understood by those who want themselves or their goods noticed. It can, of course, be argued that re cruits for the navy might be attract ed by billboard advertising. It has been so argued, and such advertising has been long and faithfully tried. The results have not cause enthusiasm among those who are trying to get good sailors for Uncle Sam. The news papers will prove more effective, and will draw all the recruits that 'would come in any way. AOT YET A AD NOT SOOX: There will be no trolley line through the New Haven Green now, the Rail road committee uf the General Assem bly having reported unfavorably on the matter. This outcome has been so long and plainly foreseen that there hasn't been any stir about the petition. Per haps in time there will be a waiting room, or a canopy, on the Green. There may be a fountain there in distant years. It is barely possible that street cars may yet run across it. And there is already a Chinese pagoda on it. But the Green is still the Green, and toe young grass,, is coming bravely and beautifully up there just as It has for many, many years. It looks b?tter every Spring, and the fact Is that grass and trees are considered to be the very best things to have on the Green in the spaces not now devoted to other things. Trolley cars do not come under tfte head of grass or trees. A MOKE I'OrlZ ill SEA. When 'the Salton sea pushed itself through the break in the dam of the Colorado river it was not popular. It covered 2,800 acres, and made a lot of trouble for railroals and other inter ests. Now it is better liked. It is as serted in Its favor that the moisture "distributed for miles on all sides to gether with heavy rains in ithe new sea zone, have been of immeasurable bene fit to the farming interests. Before the coming of the Salton sea, rain in the arid district was an unknown quantity, while to-day rains fall and there is promise, of succession of spring time and of harvest. But there is a fly in the pleasing oint ment, as usual. Chief Moore of the Weather bureau doesn't think It wise to be enthusiastic over the new sea. Admitting that the rains have fallen since the coming of the -sea, he insists that for the past two years conditions in Arizona and New Mexico have been abnormal and would have been brought about even though the Colorado had not broken bounds and made a sea. He doesn't believe that the coasts of the Salton sea are 'to become gardens right off. Perhaps not, but those who have seen some of the changes made in the Southwest are prepared to believe almost anything wonderful. OA ITS WA r. Backed by the London Lancet, many millions of boys and men, and some girls and women, the cigarette contin ues to make Its murky way. It ap pears that 1906 was a record year in the use of cigarettes In this country, the Increase over the year previous being no less than 851,000,000, while the in crease in imported Turkish tobacco amounted to 1,000,000 pounds. Cuba in creased her export of cigarettes last year to 15,643,000 packages, an Increase of about 4,000,000 packages over the ex port of the preceding year. The cigarette has been attacked often and fiercely enough, but it declines to go. A reason given by the Tobacco Journal for the failure of the anti-cigarette movement to make headway is that the crusaders have chosen a wrong means of attack, much stress having been placed upon the deleterious foreign matter which cigarettes are al leged to contain, while analyses have repeatedly demonstrated this allegation to be generally untrue. There is sense in this. The cigarette often smells bad, andi it is smoked to excess by some. But there is no gain in charging it with evil of which it can easily be Shown to be not guilty. A SCAttE IX SEW JEliSET. There is talk In New Jersey of hav ing biennial sessions of the legislature, and the Senate has already passed a bill providing for them. But it is .de cidedly Interesting to sec how ttie ob jectors to the plan look at it. It is quite like old times ' in Connecticut, where many people were afraid that bi ennial sessions would imperil liberty and damage other very valuable things, Thus the Newark (Advertiser points out that the plan is distinctly and emphat ically opposed to the popular interests. It is inimical to popular government. Its intent is to seriously abridge the power of the people in lawmaking. It would remove legislative government further from the people. Its effect would be to encourage bad legislation, as in Penn sylvania, the worst-governed State in the Union. Pennsylvania has a bien nial legislature. An annual legislature U susceptible to an aroused public sen timent; a biennial legislature i3 not The annual legislature adjourns in the spring. If its record is bad the people can go to the polls in the fall and re buke it. Legislative sins are then fresh in the public memory. Under the bien nial system the people must wait a year longer, and in the interim other subjects arise to occupy the public mind, and by the time another legisla tive election comes around public rec ollection is dulled and the worst offend er can slip back again to renew his dis loyalty to his public trust. That's the way to talk to 'em. But how it will look twenty years from now, when New Jersey has long had bien nial sessions, and when she has discov ered that they were not destructive of all that is good and reliable.
