There is little probability of Attorney General Wolfe* suggestion for _ abolition of the death ycuteuee and jnuking of the eltKHri? chair becoming law during the present session of the general assembly. Tbe attorney general states that he has been unable to find any member of either house who is willing to introduce and father the bill. The attorney general has approached a number of legislators to feel them out^oti this suggestion, and all thus approached have expressed their unwillingness to stand sponsor for the measure. They feel that the "times are not ripe" for Much an act.

Before this foute 60UI(| be opened, It was necessary to get trains across that terror to navigator*, the rocky hottomed tidal channel, known us "Hell date," between Long Inland shore and Ward's Island In the Kast river, opposite Manhattan Island on which Now York city proper stand*. It was not possible to sink piers Into t^ie channel, and the stretch was con sidered too greut to be covered by one arched span. An engineer with vision calne to the rescue and trains now cross on a wonderful four-tfaeked) steel bridge. A peerless,%teel arch, 1, 017 feet long, said to be the longest as well as the heaviest ever ^filing across any waterwuy of equal width, now bridges the gap. The eutlre weight Is carried by gigantic '250-foot high towers on hither shore. The bridge is OS feet wide, designed to car ry 70,000 pounds per linear footv The extreme height of the arch Is more than 300 feet above the water. About 10,000 tons of steel wej-e used. The towers are bedded In solid rock, and.lt Is estimated tjhnt they contain 8,000,000 cubic feet of masonry, The bridge cost $12,000,(MX). MESCPQTAMiATtt'COME BACK* Prophecy That Ancient l.and I, to 0, f Redeemed From Present Mate* Of Barrenness. It ma^ be remembered that, when Gen. Sir Stanley Maude had to lay down his work with his life In Meso potamia, that work was tnken up and carried on successfully by Gen. Sir W. R. Marshall. The expedition which hiTsent up the Euphrates freed that river from the Turks, and Just before the armistice the force which he led up the Tigris from Bagdad captured the entire Turkish army of 7,000 about 50 miles south of Mosul, the city which stands on the w,est bank opposite the fruins oftNlrieveh. Since then the coun try has had peace, and kll the way north and west'from Basra ther?.hns been a notable revival of commerce and agriculture, with a beginning of the great Irrigation scheme devised by Sir William \Vllleock!?.| It was through Irrigation that In undent times the land developed Its extraordinary fertll* ity, and traces remain of the network of canuls that formed the center of Babylonia. Is there to be a renewal of that fer tility In place of the desert barrenness produced by Turkish neglect and mal administration? General Marshall, -who has returned to Bngland, Is of that opinion. Speaking recently at Durham he made one very remarkable statement. As a result of experiments, hi said, it was believed that Mesopo tamia would become the finest cotton growing country In the world. That Is a large expectation,, too large to dis turb cotton growers In other countries. Details of the experiments, showing surprising results, will have to be made known before the "sea Island" territory of Georgia, South Carolina and Florida can believe that Its su premacy Is threatened "by Mesopota-; mla, or that the beautiful long-stapled ?llky wool of Its peculiar variety can be excelled anywhere.* THE CURIOUS MISTLETOE Something Like 300 Varieties in the World?Pink Berries Found Only on Cedar Trees. There tire about 300 kinds of mistle toe In the world, and eRch variety grows on the branches of trees and hns little white or pink berries, says St. Nicholas. But the pink berries are found on only the cedqr trees. The' mistletoe. Unlike other plants, sets no h>od directly from the ground. In stead, It gets Its nourishment from the trees on which It grows. ~ Another curious thing about the mis tletoe is that though it blossoms earl ler In the year than the tree on which It grows, yet the little berries do not ripen before Docember. Maybe that is because it has to steal Its food from the trees, and therefore cannot ripen early. The very name "mistletoe" gives some idea of i(s Insignificance. In the Anglo Saxon language "mist" means gloom, and It comes In mid-win ter, the gloomiest time of the year., ; The gathering of mistletoe was a very Important ceremony among the ancient Druids. About five days after j the sew moon they marched In state- 1 ly procession to the forest and raised an altar of straw beneath the finest J mistletoe-bearing oak they could find. The arch-Druid would ascend the oak, 1 and, with a jeweled knife, remove the ?acred mistletoe. The others stood be neath the tree and caught the plant upon a white cloth, for. If a portloa of Jt touched the earth, It was an omen of mlafortune to the land. - And this Is donbtle** the reason why 1 It la atlil the custom to bang it from the ceiiUig and why It Is supposed to lose rf* charm If If touctfe* tile fi#o*.
