For Opening *f Sixty-second Session
In December, 1911 — Orators Will
Benefit, ae Extreme Lung Power Will
Not Be a Noooooity.
Plans for reducing by over one-third
the size of the hall In which the na
tional bonne of npMHPniNtlvin sits and
yet Increasing the number of scats for
mcmlxirs Bare Just been completed.
They will be brought to the official at
tention of the members of the lions**
within a abort time, with the expecta
tion that they will be approved nnd
that the work of alteration will lie car
ried out lu the eight months interven
ing between the adjournment of the
present session nnd the convening of
the house of the Sixty-second congress.
The present hull of the house- Is 13ft
feet long by 03 feet wide. Under the
new plana It will be only SO feet long
and 01 feet wide. In the present hull
there nre Individual chairs and desks
for each member; In the proposal hall
there will be rows of chairs, as In the
big theaters, with a shelf In front upon
which one who Is speaking can put his
■otrs and other hooka nnd pnpera.
Less Lung Power Necessary.
Agitation for a reduction In the size
of the hull of the house baa becu con
tinuous for several years. Many mem
bers have felt that they would like to
bo beard all over the chamber without
■homing and without having lung
power iunde the lest of their oratorical
ability. The present ball Is so largo
that the loft hand side doesn’t hear
what the right baud Hide Jh saving.
Visitors to the house who have hoard
the great debates lu the house of com
mons or In the churnlter of deputies
have not been complimentary to the
American statesmen, and their com
ments have more than once drifted to
the ears of members of the house.
In searching for a yause the Ameri
can politicians have discovered It In
the slzo of the hall In which they must
enrry on their debates. The other
parliamentary bodies with which they
have been compared meet In chambers
qf much smaller size, In which every
Inflection of the voice la clear. If the

Science Unable to 8olv* the Problem
of Ite Escaping Waters and Dimin
ishing Area—The Maelstrom Near
Antelope Island.
The Great Suit lake of Utah con
tinues to l*e one of the greatest mys
teries of nature. For sixty years Its
rise and full.have been studied by scl-
entlats In an effort to account for the
changes, hut aa yet they have reached
no satisfactory solution of the prob
lem aa to what la the principal cuuse
of the decrease In Its depth.
Tho*e familiar with Ita depth and
the shrinking In Us size each year
assert that at the end of twenty years
or Hu the l><*d of the lake will 1st near
ly nil exposed* with the possible ex
cept Ion of a few shallow pools of wa
ter. Then perhaps the mystery con
nected with It will he solved.
In lls dimensions the hike Is really a
sen. It being above seventy-five miles
In length and fifty miles across nt Its
greatest width, containing, therefore,
over 2,000 square miles of surface.
Near the shore# the water Is so shal
low that there nre places where one
may wade out from the beach for a
disdain c of a mile, yet will uot be Im
mersed up to Ills shoulders.
The buoyancy of the water Is Hindi
that It Is almost Impossible for one
to remain on his feet at a greater
depth, Ills body being lifted up ns a
strip of wood thrown Into the water
In a vertical or oblique direction like u
dart is returned to the surface in o
horizontal position.
Indeed, It Is believed the Great Silt
lake will support more weight to a
given volume of water than even the
Dead sen, to which lu many respects
It bears a striking similarity.
The large quantity of salt lu solu
tion Is tho principal reason for the
buoyancy. An tho lake recedes its
bottom Is shown to he composed of n
heavy crust of salt, which Is almost
pure, lying upon u stratum that con
sists ehlcfiy of sand. In this respect
the bed of the lake Is similar to some
of tho deserts In the southwest which
once contained bodies of water equal
In size to that in Utah or even larger.
It Is known that the Great Salt lake
loses n large quantity of water yearly
by evaporation, but estimates of this
quantity indicate that It Is far less
than that annually poured Into the
lake from the Myers and/ reeks euter-
ingit. \s rrM " tdu ;di

It makes no. difference
whether it snows or rains, whether it i
or cold, Robin Hood Ammunition
effected by climatic changes. It is always i
r reliable, trustworthy condition—ready for immediate use—ready
r to kill further—get there quicker—hit harder and “kick” less than '
r any other ammunition.
‘IT’S ALL IN All other powders arc exploded by u
J TUI? pnwnro * * causing tremendous pressure that starts the shot at -
7 inL rUWDLn. the top rate of speed. This velocity decreases quickly’
r a,tcr ,h ? sharp explosion. The heavy “kick ’» also proves that a large part of the
ressure is wasted on your shoulder instead of being applied to the shot.
Our Powders, burning gradually, drive theshot with ever-increasing force from breech 1
muzzle. Full force of the charge comes only when the powdef is wholly consumed—at 1
# very muzzle. Results: greatest possible muzzle velocity and penetration, yet much less I
I kick than you find in other powders.- Our Powders do Hot crush or disfigure the shot as I
I other powders will do, and this means that Robin Hood Ammunition shoots straight—
I shoots where you point the gun.
j Our four brands of powder are: f
Robin Hood .Smokeless# loaded in Robin Hood and Comet Shells.
Peerless Smokeless, loaded in Clipper and Capital Shell*.
Hnpldite Dense. Smokeless, loaded In Crescent and Autocrat Shells.
Eclipse. Near .Smokeless, loaded In Eclipse Shells.
We also make a line of Metallic Cartridges, .22, .32, and .38 calibre that are
without equal for target and gallery practice. They are loaded with smoke' now-
di-r and nre adapted to all makes of firearms using these sizes. Bay Robin Hood
Ammunition from any of the dealers whose names ap|x\ir below. If that is
inconvenient, write us and wc will see that you are supplied. N Write for our
catalog, anyway.
