March B.—Tlie, legislative wheels of 1927 will grind to a stop tonight. when the lini;hing touches will have been applied -to i the more imporlant state-wide meas ure. and the .last of the flood of local ] ; bills will have been patwed. Thus one of the momentous seiwiuhs of the I General Assembly nil! pas; into his-j tbry. ; Coincident with the closing dnysj iof the session came the usual last-1 j minute .offering of hi) ,;' to increase J ith pay of everybody and of every-j .body else, and almost everyone, with 'the exception of the members of the ! assembly, from the pages on down to ; the janitors, recived extra r-ompenea itiou of a dollar a day in addition to 1 their regular salaries. Virtually all i the state officials received increases .in pay. though some of them w'df | have'to wait until their next term in order to benefit from it. , For the most part, the legislation enacted during the. session that ex pires today has been constructive, and no damage has been done to existing administration machinery. The long-heralded and much talked of ‘attack” on the administration failed to materialize, and the execu tive budget, system, ; together with the various new departments, such n.s the Salary and Wage Commis sion. the Commissioner of I‘ardons and others, went through unscathed.' A bill was introduced aimed at the abolition of the Salary and Wage Commission, but it was reported nit* I favorable and the effort made to plneC it upon the calendar failed to carry. i One of the most, important lust rainute bills passed, was the hill of EVERY MEMBER CANVASS TO BE MADE MARCH 13th Pledges Will Be Solicited From the 462,000 Members of the Presbyte rian Church.

This committee has also; done everything within its power, through the press and personal visita tation to keep the matter of Steward- 1 ship and the Every Member Canvass! before the whole church. As a conse quence. it is confidently expeeted that the best report in the history of the church’s financial plans will be made to the next assembly of this church, which meet* at El Dorado, Arkansas.

Others will use the “Knock at the Door’ plau of a house to honse canvass.. By action of the Assembly, the churches are urg ed to “propose the Askings” of the higher eourts to the people and get tlie will of the church membership be fore proceeding to the canvass. .

The Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, March 8. —The purchase of additional farm land for the State prison for which a bill authorizing the expenditure of $400,000 has just been enacted, has been made necessary by the fact that agriculture is now .virtually the only form of labo* left open for prisoners, according to the statement, of Governor A. W. McLean, eontainued in a letter to Senator l’at Williams, giving other information concerning the prison, its operation and its need*. Under the jerms of j Ltlre bill thf land cannot be ll Wßrfft"by fhp-cotrctrHetioc ta shc gov ; frtior. the council of state and the < budget commission. The measure was bitterly fought by a certain group opposed to the pres ! ent prison administration nnd tirgtt menshad been advanced by this group, with a-Rnleigb morning newspaper as its mouthpiece, that the Stute prison has been requiring big sums for main tenance the last few years, and that l this bill requesting another farm was but another indication of the inefli- i i cient management of the State pris on. This nrgmhent was answered by Governor McLean as follow*: “I am glad to say that the prison ! has been operatpif on a’ self-eupport iug basis for the past two years, as is shown by the reports of the vari ous audit* that nave been made with -1 in that time,’’ adding that the audit ( of Scott Cbarniey and Co., of Char- I lotte, for the calendar year, ending December 31. 1925, showed net profits of $18,093 40, while the audit for the :aiendar year ending December 31, 1926, made byK George G. Scott Co., of Char.otte, showed net profits of 1 $24,614.84. Tlie report of the audit for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1',i26. showed net profits of $45,874.- 70. "Owing to the fact that it has be come increasingly difficult to find work for prisoners committed to the State prison for the reason that various in terests in the state, particularly local parties in Raleigh, object to using them in any employment that might by any stretch of the imagination permit them to compete with skilled labor, agriculture must continue to be the principal industry of the prison,” the governor declared. And because it is either a question of obtaining more land so that more prisoners may be given work, of the state maintain ing these prisoners in idleness in the central prison at Raleigh, the gover nor points out that the expenditure if this amount of money is fully justi fied, sjjiec the carrying charges will amount to only about $21,000 a year, i whereas the lows to the state by keep ing prisoners idle would far exceed ; this sum.

Paris. March B.—Fiance is observ ing this week the one hundredth an niversary of the death of Pierre Simon capillary action and sound. In mathe maticians and physical astronomers of all time. As a pliysiciast the great French scientist made discoveries that were in themselves sufficient to per petuate his name, in specific heat, capillary action and suond. In inathe-1 nintics he furnished the modern si-ien- • tist with the famous Laplace co-es- j tieiest* - and the- potential - function, thereby laying the foundation of the mathematical sciences of heat and electricity. Laplace was a very extraordinary example of the profound mathematical genius and scientist, who had little or no capacity for business. Although he could deal familiarly with the most bnstruse problems of the movements of the heavenly spheres, ho failed sig nally at the head of the department i of the interior in the French govern ment of tire first consul of Napoleon Bonaparte. The fallen emperor in | his exile at St. Helena complained thnt Laplace "carried the spirit of the infinitesimal calculus into the. man agement of business.” Laplace was not very grateful for the numerous favors which Napoleon had given him. and he hastened to join the emperor’s enemies when the Napoleonic star had waned. Louis XVIII. rewarded the scientist's loyal ty with the title of marquis. Laplace was elliidlsmy proud of this distinction and childishly aensi-1 live of his very humble origin. He | was not a magnanimous or generous 1 man, withholding from Lagrange, his great contemporary and friend, tlie praise to which the latter was entitled, and lining the researches und conclu sions of other philosophers without credit, while his references to himself arc innumerable. Yet all these foibles are forgotten in contemplating the transcendent gen ius of Laplace. Although he was so poor thnt he owed his education to the generosity of some persons who recognizer! his untutored mental pow ers at 18, having been a professor of mathematics, be went to Paris and won recognition from some of the greatest scientists of the day. Laplace began his career of discov ery by applying his wonderful gift of analysis to the problems outstanding in the latter half of the 18th cen tury in the application of the law of gravitation to the motions of the ce lestial bodies. He was only 24 years old when he announced Iris great dis covery of the invariability of plane tary mean motions, the first and most important stop in the establishment of the stability of the solar system. The second period of Laplace's sei- ] enlific career was marked by the pub-! lieatiou of his monumental work, the •’Mechanism of the Heavens,” a work ranking second only to the Priucipiu of Newton, niij) containing the results obtained by three generations of illus trious mathematicians in the develop ment and application of Newton’s law of gravitation. The aim of the author, almost ideally realized, was to offer « complete solution of the great me chanical problem presented by the sol ar system. In a subsequent work is found his celebrated “Nebular Hy pothesis” of,the origin of the planets. Laplace was near his eightieth year when he pasted away in Paris in March, 1827.
