translation o. the manifesto oil separa
ton from Mexico recently issued by the |
Legislative assembly of Yucatan. 1t is |
based "on the usal Of the present Mex

laions exacted by Yucatan in laying Gown
her arms in 1912" The following signifi- |
cant paragraph occurs :

SCIENTIFIC Discoveries Faraday has
made a new discovery in the relation of
electricity to light 1t is the magnetism of
light, or the illumination of the lines of
magnetic forces, and is thus described in a
letter dated London, January /, 1916,
which appears in the last New York He
raid: Iropic.
A beam of polarized light is DETECTED
by the electric current, so that it may be
made to rotate round the poles of mag
net, and of course the converse of this,
that electro-m magnetic rotations may be
produced by the agency of light.
"Connected with astronomy, another
grand discovery has been made by Pro.
fessor Encke of Berlin: new planet near
the orbit of Vesta, one of the four small
planets in our system. The astronomers
are all alive in consequence, and 10 doubt

We find the following in the money ar
tcle of the New York Morning News:
"ltiS great error to suppose that banl
issues add in any degree TO the circulation
of a country. 1t is law of trade tina
every thing that is wanted in a country
will come into it in spite of all the parch
ment laws that can be concocted. Thu,
it is with specie-as long as there is
want of it for circulation, it will flow here
from abroad exactly to the extent wanted
If paper is substituted for circulation, j
will cease TO come: on the other hand
that which is here will go away, and TIT
moro rapidly the greater the quantity o
the paper put afoat by the banks"
