THE most encouraging evidences
of Nebraska's future prosperity will
bel found i'm the BEES Nebraska
crop notes. Never were prospects
for a bounteous harvest brighter or
more promising.
Our crop notes embrace nearly
every county i'm the State, and the
cheering intelligence comes from
every quarter that "the grain and
fruit prospect never looked better"
Should these anticipations be real
lied, the wheat crop of 1874 alone
will not fall short of twelve million
bushels. AT ninety cents per bushel
the income from this source alone
would realize to the farmers of Ne
braska, over ten million dollars.
This would solve the currency prob
lem ven without the aid of Con-
gress.

MODERN CONSTITUTION
MAKING.

The Ohio Constitutional Conven-
ton, has at last closed its labors.
The result of its deliberations is to
be submitted for ratification to the
people, on the 18th of August next.
The actual time consumed by this
convention in discussing and franz
ing the provisions contained i'm the
new constitution, was one hundred
and lightweight days. Inasmuch
as this document is the embodiment
of the most modern views upon
popular self-government, it will
doubtless serve as a model to the
coming Constitutional Convention
of Nebraska. A few of its most
striking points may therefore, not
be without interest to that portion of
our readers, who are sufferers from
what might be called constitution on
the brain.
The legislative article makes
every person interested i'm a con-
tract with an unadjusted claim
against the State, ineligible to
membership i'm the Legislature. 1t
gives qualified veto power to the
Governor, which may be overruled
by a three-fifths vote i'm each house.
instead of two-thirds or three
fOurths, as has heretofore been Gus
tomary. 1t provides that on the
passage Of appropriation bills, or on
concurring i'm the amendments
thereto, "a separate vote on any
item oritems therein shall, ON de-
mand of any member, be had by
yeas and nays, entered on the jour-
nal; and every such item failing to
receive the vote of the requisite ma
Of the members elected to the
House i'm which the bill is pending.
shall be stricken therefrom, and
each item receiving such majority
shall be declared passed."
The section governing general
reads as follows:
All laws of a general nature shall
a uniform operation through
out the State. No act or part of an
act, except such as relates to public
schools, public buildings, or public
bridges shall be passed to take effect

powers or privileges upon :

The executive article contains the :
slowing striking features: )

lent, resignation, removal, oil dis ,
bilityo of the Governor, the powers r
nd duties of the Office, for the resi- b
ne of term, or until he shall be ac- t

GAs-puRNER WITH PLATINUM ATTACHMENT
A large par. OF the illuminating power OF
gas Is lost In using an ordinary burner, De.
cause the temperature Of the interior OF the
flame is too low to effect the complete COM
bustion of the carbon. 1t is claimed that
ibis can be remedied, according to recent
Belgian patent, by introducing strip OF
platinum between the openings of common
ish-taiI burner, against which the gas plays,
and which, when heated, causes the COM
plete combustion of the gas, and at the same
time diminishes it's flow.
Careful photometric experiments, it is
said, fix the illuminating power at double
that of the same amount of gas consumed
with an ordinary burner. The accidental
bending of the platinum is prevented by
four copper wires attached to the burner.
A similar object is accomplished with the
ordinary ash-tail burner by slipping or
screwing cap over it with slit in the top;
The gas Is discharged into the very small
cavity thus formed, and is ignitcd after pass
Ing through the slit.
