Preventing Scarlet Fever.

Preventing the spread of scarlet fever
is the subject of a very important article
in the Sanitary Engineer OF January ?.
Briefly stated, its substance is the com
plete isolation Of the patient 50 far as
possible. If the sufferer can be accomo-
dated with a separa . room, it should
be Immediately stripped OF everything
which can possibly be dispensed with
carpets. stuffed couehes and chairs. cur
tains, etc.-in order that what may be
called furniture cannot disseminate the
disease. All discharges from the pa
tient and every article of clothing used
at the sick bed must be treated as con-
tagion. In case of death of the patient,
il is recommended that the body be
wrapped in sheet treated with solu-
ton of chloride of zinc. and buried as
soon as possible in a strictly private
manner.

AN INGENIOUS INVENTION.
Telegraphng from Moving Train as Arragued
by Californian.

On Sept. q, through Messrs. Dewey
& Co, patent was issued to a resident
of Santa Barbara for method of tele-
graphing from a moving railroad car
The invention allows each freight or
passenger train its own telegraph office.
Two wires are required instead Of one,
and these are suspended directly over
the track, and above the moving train
They are parallel and about eighteen
inches apart One wire is connected
with q battery ut thestation from which
the train starts, and the other with bat
terry at the terminal station. They are so
suspended by a somewhat ingenious
arrangement, that light running wheels
can run along them from one end of the
road to the other The wheels are insu-
lated from each other, but are connected
with wires that pass down the roof of
the car to the operating instrument, and
through it complete the circuit. AS
the car moves, the wheels are drawn
along on the wires just above il, and q
constant current of electricity is main
tanned between the initial and terminal
stations through the moving car
Without attempting to enumcrate the
advantages Of the invention, some of the
more obvious may be mentioned. All
train reports and Ill orders from train
dispatchers will be communicated dir
ectly to the conductor and engineers
while the train is in motion Passeng-
ers can receive and transmit messages
at any moment during their journey,
without any of the inconvenience now
experienced. Directors and distinguish
ed parties travelling in their own private
cars viii find it especially convenient to
have a telegraph Office constantly on
hand. But the one great value of the
invention, after all, will be its preserve
ton Of life and property by preventing
collisions. Santa barbara (CdD Press.

JUDGING THE JURY.
A Dissertation on the Evils Of the Present Pslli-
dium OF Liberty.

If any evidence were needed to show
that the objections to the present system
of submitting cases to the ''twelve good
men and true" are not confined to out
side croakers. but are recognized, acted
upon, and even taken advantage of by
the legal profession itself, there's plenty
of confirmation to be had in the great
trial at Washington. Second only to the
disgusting Interruptions of the murderer
and his addresses to the "high-toned
people Of America" are the passages
in the speeches of counsel on both sides,
which are framed and delivered with
sole reference to the supposed vanity,
conceit, and weak-mindedness of the
jury. From time immemorial the abil-
ity to flatter jury as well as to appeal
TO their feelings rather than their judg
ment has been acknowledged to be one
of the most essential qualifications for
a successful pleader in criminal cases.
The traditions of rough and ready elo-
quence which fill SO large a part of early
border history, and of the biographies
of the famous men of the last genera
ton, refer in the main to the argUnaeR-
tim al hODlinenl, which has decided
more verdicts than any weight Of evil
dence. But when the murderer of a
president is on trial and the issues are
clear and plain, such 'base spaniel
fawning'l as appears in almost III the
speeches, besides arguing that Che trial
by a jury is descending to a mere effort
to win by cringing TO one man out OF
twelve, is an open insult to the lntelli-
gence and the honesty of the peers in the
box themselves Counsel on the one
side takes occasion toremark to the jury
that they are the supreme arbiters OF this
man fate. No power on earth, he ex-
claims, can wrest your authority from
you. Above court and witnesses and
people you sit in judgment. Another
legal light leaves his place and acts the
part of extra juryman. He humbly pro-
fesses to be no man $ advocate, but, like
sly Antony, "a plain, blunt man." who
loves his friend He is mo orator as
Brutus is, and would fain talk to the
jury as friend and one of themselves.
All these tricks of the trade, whether on
one side or the other, are, in effect, open
brides to the self-esteem of one or more
jurymen, who are thereby assumed to
love tlattery more than justice. These
men know full well their power and their
duty. The customary preface to all
arguments assumes that they can be
swayed to decide one way or the other
by few soft words, irrespective of the
evidence. 1t is a weak device which
must always be useless and silly, unless
it is colTupting. While trial by jury re-
mains what it is, there is nothing so
much needed, both for the fulfillment Of
the law and the preservation of decency,
as a peremptory ruling from the presd
ing Judge, that all remarks to the men
who must finally decide the case must
be strictly limited to arguments from
the testimony or the law.-Pioneer
