The judges blood is not very thin,
but through force of habit he likes the
temperature in his room to be nearly
so dogs. His porter is sometimes late,
and if the room is not up to the tenn

ing up" results. Recently, on a chilly
morning, the porter oversight. He
hurried to the Office, arriving but {
few minutes in advance of the punctua'
judge. The temperature was under sc
dogs The porter turned the steam on,
but it was impossible to get the re.
quired heat before the judge would
arrive. So the porter pressed his
thumb against the bulb at the bottom
of the thermometer. He was none too
soon, for the mercury had no sooner
reached a sufficient point than the
judges key was in the lock. The
porter busted away as the Judge enter
ed. The judge, as is his invariable
custom, went directly to the Their
mometer, and, seeming satisfied that
the temperature was sufficient, sat
down at his desk with a satisfied air
and went to work. Albany Journal

A Magnetic Field.

If, while the electrical current is
flowing through a wire, a delicately
poised magnetic needle be carried
about it, the needle will tend to place
itself at right angles to the general
direction of the wire. 1t may be easily
shown that the region about the wire
IS magnetic region, commonly called
a magnetic field. In order to do this,
the wire may be made to pass vertically
through sheet of smooth paper which
is held in horizontal position. If,
then, while the current is passing,
some iron filings be sprinkled over the
paper, and the latter be gently tapped, so
as toassist the movement of the filings,
they will arrange themselves in con
centric circles about the wire.
When thecurrent is interrupted the
region about the wire is no longer a
magnetic field, but it may be restored
as often as the current is renewed.
This simple experimental fact lies at
the foundation of many electrical ap-
pliances with which we are familiar
The magnetic field about single con-
Quoting wire is, however, generally
too feeble to serve for many purposes
for which it would otherwise be use

FRIDAY. AUGUST %, 1890
THE PROPOSED CONVENTION.

Look before you leap" is not
the less true from being a trite pro-
verb. To borrow smile from
one of the 4" Bulletins " correspon-
dents, our Legislature has been led
to the edge of preciplce, and is
invited to take leap in the dark.
The revolutionary character of
the proposal is thinly disguised by
introducingit in the shape of Leg
islative act.
But the Constitution under which
the Legislature has been elected,
from which it derives all it's au-
thority, and which it's members
have sworn to maintain, prescribes
the only method in which it can be
lawfully amended. Any other
method is illegal and revolutionary.
If any of the members are SO blind
as not to see this, let them have
the question argued before the Su-
preme Court. 1t requires no legal
learning to foretell what the result
will be.

V. is very unfortunate precedent
for the advocates of a convention.
Kamehameha V. was very careful
not to take the oath to maintain
the Constitution of 1852, claiming
to be king by hereditary right. He
was also careful not to convene the
Legislature elected under that Con
stitution. Otherwise he would have
been obliged to follow the method
of amendment provided in the Con-
stitution itself. AS it was, many of
his friends and admirers consid-
cred his course unnecessary and
ill-advised. For the sake of restrict
ing the power of the people, he un-
settled the foundations of his gov
eminent, and gave occasion for the
disturbances of the next two
reigns.
When LunaliIo came to the
throne, although he strongly dis
approved of the course of his pre-
decessor in abrogating the Consti-
tuition of kamehameha Ill, yet he
wisely took the oath to maintain
that of 1864, under which he had
been elected, but caused certain
amendments to it to be proposed in
the Legislature in the legal consti-
tutional way. 1t is good example
for us to follow.
If this Legislature can proceed
to disregard and to set aside oul
present Constitution, of what avail
would it be to insert any provi.
sions for amendment in any future
constitutions that may be hereafter
enacted ? They will be liable to be
changed every two years, and will
have no more stability than ar
ordinary statute law.
Our present Legislature repre-
sents the different classes and in
terests of the country far better
than the proposed revolutionary
convention, which would represent
but one class, and would be easily
managed by the well known infu
ences that have triumphed in thu
closing hours of so many legisla

would have secuted the idea of in
trusting the task of drafting new
Constitution to so ignorant and in
experienced a body.
The fact is that it is not so much
the defects of our present Constitu
ton as it's excellencies, it's safe
guards for liberty and against cor
ruption. that are to be at
tackled, such as the provision tina
"no member of the Legislature
shall, during the time for which h
is elected, be appointed to any civ
office under the Government, ex
cept that of a member of the Cab
met"
During the last few months, thu
credit of the Government has fallel
II per cent in the London stool
market.
Consider what will be the effec
on the peace and prosperity of tn
country, of virtually tearing u
our present Constitution, and stak
ing everything upon two more gen
eral elections in quick succession
in which party passion and rae
jealousy will be worked up to tn
highest possible pitch and by tn
vilest means. Let US look befor
| we lean.
