New YORK, January 2.
A morning paper says railroad from
Texas to Brazil, through Texas and Cen
trail America and by way of the Isthmus
of Panama, has been projected. 1t is
said that John w. Mackay is to be Presi-
dent, and that he has promised to devote
his best energies and large part of his
capital to its completion. The project
referred to was originated several years
ago by Major John A. Lynch, now resi-
dent of Washington. 1t then received
the favorable consideration of Senator
David Davis, who gave tangible shape to
the suggestion by introducing in the Sen
ate joint resolution that proposed hold
ing at Washington of a convention in
which all the republics of Central and
South America should be invited to par.
ticipate for the purpose of discussing
this subject, and of taking action by
which substantial and harmonious CO.
operation could be had in carrying out
such an international railway. Senator
Davis measure met the fate of many
others which was referred to the Com
merce Committee as then constituted,
and died of neglect. There is now con.
siderable talk of reviving the scheme,
and although the rumor of Mackays in
terest in it has not been verified, it is
conceded that his active support will 60
a long way towards insuring its success.
The discovery of deserted city, sixty
miles long, cut out of the rocky face Of q
winding cliff, rewarded the efforts of the
Stevenson Smithsonian Institution ex.
ploring party during its researches in
New Mexico and Arizona the past season.
Some of the houses contain four or five
dwellings, one on top of the other, and
on the plateau above the cliff were found
many ruins of temples of worship, built
of well.cut square stones. Comparison

TIE SALARY LAW.

The Board OF County Commissioners OF
Storey county lately requested an opinion
from Judge B. C. Whitman as to the
legal construction of certain language
bearing upon the reports required from
officers. We direct the attention OF the
officers to the following extract:
The Act cited makes the Sheriff, Clerk,
Treasurer, District Attorney, Recorder
and Auditor, Assessor, Superintendent of
Schools and some Justices of the Peace
of Storey County salaried officers, whose
duty it is, under Section 20 of such Act,
at the expiration of every month (to)
make out and file with (the) Treasurer a
full and accurate statement, under oath
of all fees, percentages or compensations
of whatever nature or kind, received in
their several official capacities during the
preceding month; also duplicate copy
to the County Commissioners, in which
statement they shall set forth the causes
in which such and the services for which
such compensations were received. -" "
This language is 50 clear and emphatic
that it needs no interpretation; the re-
quircd statements must each be absolute
ly specific, as to the several fees, percent
ages, or compensations of whatever nature
or kind received in their several official
capacities, during the preceding month,
and equally specific as to the causes IN
which, and the services for which such
compensations, or any of them, were re-
ceiyed. That is, every cause IN which
compensation was received, and every
service for which any compensation was
received must be separately satisfied with
accompanying compensation; such state
, ments must be made under oath,
monthly, for the preceding month, filed
with the County Treasurer, and dupli.
cate thereof presented to your Board.
The section continues: ''And it shall
be the duty of each one of said officers tc
keep a book in which shall be entered by
items every kind or description of ser
vices performed by them, or their depu
ties, the time of rendering said services
and the amount allowed by law for eacl
particular service, which book or book.
shall be open to the inspection of thu
Board of County Commissioners ane
every citizen at all hours"
By this language an additional duty il
imposed upon each of such officers. l
commands an itemized account, including
time and nature of every official servic
rendered by any OF the specified officers
whether compensation is received there
for, or not; as the words amour
allowed by law are contrasted with a
extensive of the words compensatio
received" in the former part of the sec

From twenty to thirty miles from
Denver, says the Times, between Cherry
Creek and Running Creek, the Denver
and New Orleans Railroad forces struck
an unusual obstruction, it being nothing
less than buried forest. The trees are
all petrifed and agatized, are of all sizes,
and lie buried at various depths, from
ten to twenty feet, which is as deep as
any excavations We're made by the work
men. They came upon these relics Of a
bygone age in at least half a dozen local
tiles, and have met with not little
difficulty on their account. The trees
are very perfect, and could be taken out
nearly whole if suitable machinery were
employed.

Liberal people are generally happy
people, and get more enjoyment of what
they have than folds of churlish minds.
Misers never rest till they are put to bed
with shovel. They often get SO wretch
ed that they would hang themselves,
only they grudge the expense of rope.
Generous souls are made happy by the
happiness of others. The money they
give to the poor buys them more pleasure
than any other that they lay out. We
have seen men of means give coppers,
and they have coppers, and they have
coppercry in everything. They carried
on tin-pot business, lived like beggars,
and died like dogs. Others, who gave
freely of their means to Others, were
happy and cheerful through life, and
dying as Christians should, felt that they
had not lived in vain.

Miss Davis, daughter of Jefferson

eyes and an expression of such reserve
that it almost amounts to moroseness
Her complexion is of the pale Southern

effect until her cheeks appears to be col

remarkable resemblance to her fathers,
though one of his is artificial, she would

A forcible argument In favor OF the electric
light is incidentally furnished by the result OF
some Investigations recently made by an eminent
English professor into causes of the frequency OF
near-sighteineSS among students. His examina-
ton satisfied him that it Is not the light much
the heat that Is mainly concerned in developing
the prejulcin effects Heat Is radiated from the
flame OF the lamp or chimney, and is reflected
from the shade and the surface OF the paper. 1t
Immediately alters the hygrometric conditions of
the surrounding air and dries the forehead, tenn
pies and eyes. This view seems to be confirmed by
the fact that temporary relief from headache and
pains i'll the eyes may be found In bathing the at
fecJed organs with fresh water. Ordinary gas
burners and Oillamps give out considerable
amount Of heat by the energetic consumption Of
the hydrocarbons, and hence their injurious ef-
feeIS In this respect the electric light is not open
20 the same objection, for although the light may
be as intense as desirable, still there is but very
little heat produced. The great drawback to the
general use OF the latter in work requiring arti-
1cial light Is its disagreeable .ickering which is
still a very serious objection and one which in a
large degree Offsets the advantages Of light
without heat When this Is overcome and per-
feet means devised for dividing the light, as IN the
case OF gas or candles, the invention may be re-
garded as complete. After that It would seem to
be only question of cheapneS5 to insure its sue

The advocates of the glucose swinfle on the pub
Tic argue that, while another substance might be
preferred TO that article by some people, its
should not be opposed any moresthan the manu-
facture OF cider should be discouraged because
many persons prefer champagne wine to that
liquid SIS a beverage. Certainly not But this
Isn't the point. It Is when cider Is put up in bot
ties labeled wine, and palmed OF on the public as
the pure juice OF the grape that the case becomes
parallel to that OF glucose. 1t is not to the manu-
facture OF the latter article yet to It's sale or
use under the name OF glucose, that objections are
lnterpOSed. The demand for legislation on the
ubIect comes in when glucose Is used as an aduI-
terating substance for sugar,-aS means OF
swindling the public, that is, by increasing the
weight OF sugar without adding to its sweetness,
Just as sand was formerly used by INSCRIPTIONS
BA0p-keeper5 for the same purpose. The obtec-
tons TO it are based on precisely the same grounds
aS those urged against oeOmargarine. Nobody
opposes the manufacture or sale OF that ar
tice under its proper name. 1t Is to its sale,
not as substitute for butter but as butter itself,
that objection Is made. The claim set up for glu-
cose that IL is a chemically pure substance Is
yerth nothing. so Is sand chemically pure, but It
not sugar. The fact that glucose is a trife
Weeter than ordinary clean sand, pound for pound,
hoes not help the matter any, either in a moral
point OF view SO far as the pockets of innocent
purchasers are concerned. They are paying for
Ionething they do not get, and getting something
bhey do not want in either case.
But is glucose a pure and perfectly harmless
substance? That is claimed for it by its advocates,
Dut 1t is by no means generally conceded in many
Eases, according to the judgment OF Intelligent
persons, 1t is than fraud; it Is an act
i've and dangerous poison. The allegation is made
that it Is often not entirely separated from the
sulphuric acid involved, anu that in these in
stances it is highly injurious to the system. The
Increase OF BrightS disease is attributed by many
medical men to the increasing use OF glucose.
These allegations may or may not be true; but 1t
Is not necessary TO establish their truth in order to
make outa case against the new adulterant No
body any longer gets sugars, Sirups, or confection
cries that perfectly pure up to the old stand
