THE LEGISLATIVE APPoRr1oNN1ENr,

The Legislature is still wrestling
with the apportionment problem, with
the indications rather squirting tow
ard retention Of the present infla-
ted numbers. Members seem to be
deeply impressed with the feeling
that if the basis OF representation
should be changed so as to reduce the
sizes of the two houses there would
be strong probability that some of
them would be left at home. And if
there is anything that the average
member does not take kindly to it 10
to the idea of being relegated into
the shades Of private life after hav.
ing enjoyed a sixty-days' prominence
at the capital. But with the people
OF the State at large there is very
decided feeling that the Senate and
House are both too large. There was
no necessity which called for or war
ranted the increase FIVE years ago,
and there are many reasons why a
reduction should be made now. The
first is on the score of economy,
which good many members are rid
ing as a hobby when it doesn't affect
any matter in which themselves are
interested. Contracting the Senate
to twenty-five members and the House
to seventy would make a total Of
ninety-fve instead of one hundred
and forty-seven as at present. This
would make saving OF $4,000 in
the amount annually appropriated
for legislative expenses. There could
be such other savings made through
this contraction as would make this
net gain not less than S25 900 a year,
a very respectable sum.
Again, the body would be less
cumbersome and could act more read
lily and rapidly. This reform would
render possible another, that of short.

Prof Davidson, chief of the u. 8. Coast Sur

engineers in making signal observations
upon the summit OF Mount Diabolo, a high
mountain on the Pacific coast, near Benicis,
CAL, gives some interesting items concern
ing the altitude and distance OF some OF the
most prominent points visible from his
quarters on the mountain top. The view
from the summit is a grand one and en-
braces an area, including land and ocean, of
no less than 81, 600 square miles. The most
distant point within range OF observation is
Lassen's Peak, In the Sierra Nevada. which

1876 miles distant, are also all visible. Nearly
all the mountains on the Sierra Nevada
range are TO be seen and the Coast Range all
the way up to the northern end OF the state
are in view. or the nearer mountains Clay

A PREVENTION OF SEA SICKNEss.-A
letter recently printed in an English scien-
tihc paper gives the following in relation 10
amethod for the prevention OF sea sickness:
"Many years ago had frequently to cross

II there was the least motion IN the water
Once when IL was very rough, and the wind
was blowing hurricane, in some uncoun-
table way hit luckily on an expedieut,
which, for me at least. is an efectuaI pre-
tentative, and should like To be tried by
Others. For what reason / cannot say, but
made my respiration coincide punctually
with the heave and fall OF the vessel; as she
rose inspired slowly and regularly, and as
she fell expired, and the effect was so COM
pletely successful that i several times fell
asleep. But each time II suppose because
the breathing was no longer synchronous
with the vessels movements) l was away
ened by sensations OF sickness, which two
Inspirations and expirations, as above des-
cribed, Immediately dispelled, and I COM
pleted very rough voyage VITA compare
tive comfort. l nave sailed since, though
not on a very rough sea, and have been able
to walk the deck and enjoy the voyage.
Ny inference Is that sea sickness is caused
by the heavings and falls OF the vessel cross
ing the motions and operations OF the diaph-
ragm, which unreasonably presses on the
upper stomach and liver and 30 disorders
their functions"
