Mr.. Saxton'S BalOt-Reform bill was the topic
of interest before the State Senate yesterday,
and Mr. Saxton'S able speech was the feature
of the discussion Before he spoke he offered
some amendments to the bill, which, though
of importance in their way, relate only to de-
tails and in no way affect the principles on
which the bill is based. The most noteworthy
of them prohibits any election officer from re-
oucsting or perSuading any voter to cast his
ballot for any particular candidate. Mr.. sax
toms logical and lucid speech is an important
contribution to the discussion of this command
ing question. 1t is devoted mainly TO con-
sideration of the objections which Governor
Hill has brought forward from time 70 time to
Justify his opposition to this great reform. The
Senator has no difficulty in showing the Shift
ing character of the Governor ELECTIONS and
with the constitutional arguments in Mr.. Hill ;
last message he deals with convincing force.
There is no claptrap about this speech, though
the Governor is handled without gloves Ny.
Saxton deals with the facts and the law, and
his clear and closely linked logic is simply un-

THE SENATOR'S FRoH MONTANA


THE SENATOR'S FROH MONTANA.
Since the elections took place in Montana
by which two sets Of United states senators
were sent to Washington, an important de-
c,ion has been rendered by the court of laSt
resort in that state hearing directly upon the
question TO be considered tomorrow by the
senate Committee on Elections. Indeed ii

certificates in accordance with il. Five Demo-

County. Meanwhile the Democratic campaign
managers were suing for writ of mandamuS

The Color Of Water.

What is the color of pure water? Al
most any person who has no special
knowledge of the subject will reply at
once: lit has no color" Yet every
body knows, either through hearsay
or by the evidence of his own eyes,
that the ocean is blue. Why the
ocean looks blue is = question that
few who have crossed 1t have ever
sought to solve, and there are, prob
ably. many travellers whs. though
they have seen most 81 the famous
rivers and lakes in the world, have
failed to notice the remarkable differ.
ence in color which their waters pro-
sent
Even the ocean is not uniform in
color; in some places its waters are
green or even yellowish. Some lakes
are distinctly blue; others present
various shades OF green, so that in
some cases they are hardly distin-
guishable from their level. grass
covered banks; a few are almost black.
The cause of the difference in the
color OF lakes and rivers has engaged
the ate ation Of many celebrated in
vestigators of nature, absolutely pure
water when seen in masses OF sufficient
thickness is blue, and all the varieties
of color exhibited in lakes and streams
arise from the presence in the water
of mineral salts of different degrees of
solubility and varying quantities.
Water containing carbonate of lime
in state of almost complete solution
remains blue. but if the solution is
less complete the water will have a
tinge of green, which will grow strong
er as the point of precipitation is ap-
preached. If lime is added to blue
water in which 80 much carbonate of
lime is already dissolved that the
point of saturation is approached. the
water will become green. In proof OF
this he cites the fact that tho waters
near the shores of lakes and seas,
where it comes in contact with lime
stone, is generally OF a greener. hue
than elsewhere.
