COLUnBUS LETTER,
COLUMBUS, o., June 25, 1873


ED SPIRIT: The Convention on yes
terday finished the third article of the
Constitution, and the same was read the
third time and adopted as amended, and
whilst it retains The Lieutenant Governor
he is so shorn of power that he does not
amount to much he cannot vote on a
bill or joint resolution in any of the sta.
ges of either, nor in contested election
cases, nor in the election of a United
States Senator.
The question of President pro tempore
of the Senate is also settled he serves
during the pleasure Of the Senate. We
also settled the usury question by indef-
initely postponing the same.
l think we will to-day settle the vexed
questions arising on the 7th Article, gov.
erning the benevolent, punitive and re-
formatory institutions of the State, and
will then be up with the committees. We
are promised report from the Judicial
Department on Thursday, and will then
have plenty to do. l am satisfied that they
will not make such report as will be
adopted without amendments. As we
will likely adjourn over at the end of the
week, it will not be considered until af-
ter we return.
Notwithstanding the weather is very
warm, there is disposition to work it
out and finish up the work in order to
have it submitted to the people this fall.
There is proposition to remove to
Cleveland which comes up for conside
ration on Friday, but l do not think it
can carry. / would regard it as very
unwise thing for the Convention to do
to leave here in order to continue the
work at any other place. A great many
very foolish propositions have been sub
mitted for the consideration of the Con.
vention,yet there has been nothing adop.
ted but what, in my opinion, will meet
the wishes of the people, and l hope
there will not be-but I cannot tell what
is to come. We have no politics in the
Convention; there is some talk outside
but not much, amongst members.

New YORK, June 22.-The Herald has
a letter from Kbartoun, April 30,confrm.
ing the news of the safety of Sir Samuel
Baker and family at Fatuka in February.
He had been re-enforced by 200 soldiers
and the troops of the mercantile estab-
lishments and would at once renew the
march to the Albert Nyanza. The negro
Adam Pacbo, who with 1000 Egyptian
troops, attempted to protest the passage
of caravans through Abyssinnia, is said
to have been surprised and lost 300 guns,
and might be compelled to surrender
The report is considered doubtful, but re-
endorsements were sent him. The trav
eler Miami is said to have advanced south
through the territory Of Mar5utta with a
view of reaching the western shore Of
Albert Nyanza.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The largest rolling-milT in the world
is soon to be opened at Bethlehem,
Pennsylvania.
The Mount Diablo coal mines, locat-
ed near San Francisco, California, yield
from eight to ten thousand tons per
month.
The aggregate area Of the coal fields
of England, France, Belgium, Germany,
Spain, Japan, and the British Possess
ions in North America, is $4,000 square
miles, while that of the United States
alone is 5000, or little more than
double that of the rest of the world.
At the George-Marien furnaces, in
Hanover, the blast-furnace Stag is rem.
dered suitable as ballasting for railroads,
ETC., by allowing it to flow from height
of eight feet into tank of water; the
pebbles of Stag thus formed are taken
from the water by means of an endless
chain Of buckets, which transfer it at
once to the railroad trucks.
Dr. Angus Smith has discovered that
the acid existing in the atmosphere of
cities has an injurious effect upon all
building stones. The acids are brought
into direct contact with the stones
through the medium of the rainy water,
which absorbs them from the atmos-
phere. These injurious acids exist in
greater quantities in the atmosphere OF
those cities where bituminous coal is
used.
Relative to earnings, the census OF
1870 discloses the fact that the average
annual earnings of the people of the
United States do not exceed $500. OF
the employed classes, the average an
nual wages and earnings is $1,000; OF
those who receive salaries, the average
is $500, and in the learned professions
the annual average is $25OO. This cen.
sus is said to demonstrate that the peo-
pie of the United States make more
money per capita than the people Of
any other country.
1t is maintained that the inferior quail.
ity of certain kinds of wheat and rye
-four is frequently due to the action ol
sunlight on the -four; even when in bags
or barrels the gluten experiences 8
change similar to that occasioned by
heating in the mill. The tendency thus
impaired to it, to become lumpy, and tc
form dough without toughness, is sim.
liar to that of -four from moist grain.
or of flour when it is too fresh, or made
from grain ground too early, or when
adulterated with cheaper barley meal.-
Such -four can be improved by keeping
for some weeks.

Whence gazing up into the quiy ring maze

from 9 in the morning until 2 the next
morning. Either at his house or at his
office, or elsewhere, this daily routine

outlay of time and strength alone that he
was able to cover so much ground, and
to cover it so well, but it was evident
many months ago that the pace was too
fast to be long sustained.
