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. Other re

The Wonders of Amtrlci
By T. T. MAXEY
HELL QATE BRIDGE.
TI1I0 completion of tlu> .Ww York
Connecting railroad )|AV? us our
first nil-rail theough route from New
England, via Now York, to tlie rest
of America and n continuous rail line
up ami down the Atlantic coast froiu
Key Weal to Halifax. It also calls
to tuiml the fact that the insurmount
able obstacle which nad heretofore
blocked ilie way had been overcome
II M.I tin1 supposedly I luposslhle accom
pllshed.
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*.
