unusually large attendance of senators
at the opening of to-day's session. The
seats on both sides of the chamber were
nearly all occupied and the galleries

parties, who greeted each other as the
best of friends, whom no political sue
cesses or reverses could estrange.
Immediately after the chaplain's
prayer the credentials of the senator's
elect from Wyoming were presented by
Hoar when they were read. Senators
Carey and Warren we're escorted to the

ELECTIONS BILL TAKEN UP TO DAY.
After a lengthy discussion this after
noon. the republican senatorial caucus
agreed that the elections bill be taken
up to- morrow with the understanding
that it be kept before that body until
finally acted upon; furthermore, to
guard against the expected opposition
from the democratic minority in the
line of dilatory tactics. A com mittee OF
five senators was appointed to cooperate
with the republican members of the
committee on rules in the preparation of
rule to secure the closure of debate
when desired by the majority.
The old caucus committee on the or
der OF business was reappointed and in

EHE RESULT.

The election on Tuesday was quite
surprise, as such events usually are,
and as good citizens we can only
submit gracefully, although, like the
man eating baked crow, we cannot say
that we particularly like it.
So far as the State ticket is con-
eerned the Republicans have made q
clean sweep, though there is still a
possible show for A. L. Fitzgerald,
District Judge, In this county the
only man we can claim with certainty
is L. @. Henderson for County Clerk,
though there is yet a fighting chance
for TAFT for District Attorney, McAtee
for long term and Burns for short
term Commissioner. The Republi-
cans have undoubtedly elected the
State Senator and the three Assem-
blymen, the Sheriff, the Treasurer,
the AS es or, the Surveyor, the Public
Administrator and the Superintend-
emit of Schools. IN Elko we have
elected the Justiceef the Peace, the
Constable and one School Trustee,
though there is not much in that to
enthuse an ardent Democrat, as there
was,ne opposition to any except the
Constable.
We accept the result with the best
possible grace, as the people OF the
State have declared by their votes
that they are ip favor of gold as the
only standard Of values, With silver
as mere commodity.

FACTS ABOUT LEAVES.

Particular Purpose.
Even the m0e4 cursory observer o.
vegetable life must have been ofte,
struck with the .various forms Of leave.
Why they shoHld be so variouslS
formed does not however, often sug.
gest itself. though there is q reason &c
tho special shape and texture OF almos
every loaf in existence. Plants, sucl
as grasses, daffodils and othors which
usually grow in clusters, have gen
orally narrow leaves growing upright,
30 as not to oveHshadow one another.
Other plants, of isolated habits, have
an arrangement Of foliage which
secures to themselves the space OF
ground necessary for their develop
ment> The daisy, dandeion and shep-
herds purse-which may mostly be
seen in pastures-are examples of this.
A circle OF broad leaves pressed against
the ground. forming what is known as
a rosette growth effectually bars the
approach Of any other plant and keeps
clear from all other roots the space of
ground necessary to its own nutriment
Floating leaves, and leaves of marsh
plants, are usually of simple outline,
for, having few competitors, they are
not liable to get in ono another's light
Submerged plants have mostly leaves
of narrow segments-the reason for
which is not very we'll under
stood, though it is assumed by
naturalists that it is for tho
purpose of exposing as large a
surface as posi- BILE, in order to extract
the minute proportion Of carbonic acid
dissolved in a vast bulk Of water.
Leaves on the boughs of trees are often
much divided, so. as to fold easily, to
prevent thoir being rent and torn by
high winds, while the glossy surface of
evergreens is intended to throw off rain
and dew, which might freeze on them,
and 30 cause injury to the tissues with
in. But the hairs on the surface of
leaves are perhaps the most interesting
study of all. With the aid Of q micro
scope, the beautiful and systematic ar
rangement of these can be easily dis
cerned, and their uses understood. On
many plants there arc glandular hairs,
to, catch or deter small creeping insects;
on others there arc hairs set so as u
as effectively against young animals as
spike palisade against obtrusive boys;
on. others, hairs which arrest the drops
Of moisture and force them down the
Leaf-stalk, to moisten the earth about
the rootss while others are protected by
series Of poisoned stings. The ordln-
airy nettle is an example of this, and
the beauty and ingenuity of its mechan-
ism is truly wonderful, Each nettle
hair is armed with brittle and pointed
siliceous cap, which breaks off in the
wound; and the poison is then able to
flow out through a tubular hair, from q
reservoir at its base. There is scarcely
form Of leaf but is special mouified
by pature for some particular purpose,
and the discovery of this purpose is a
source OF very pleasant, as we'll as profit.

BAD MONEY.
The Governments Efforts to Foil the
Countarfeiters

The Governments Efforts to Foil the
Counterfeiters.
"Before the war it was much more difficult
than it is now TO detect bad money. There
were then many kinds of bad money. There
were wild cat banks whose notes were Of no
value of the same name as good banks, and
the wildcat notes were of the same form as
the coed notes. Then there were many al
tered notes from lower TO higher denOmna-
tons The use Of greenbacks. or any backs
at all. was rare, so that the c0unterleiter had
but one side of note to counterfeit. OF
late years the paper is covered front and
back with the figures Of the denomination,
SO that alterations from lower to higher
denomination is rare. Before the war by
actual computation four-ffths of the bank
n0Ie issues were counterieited There were
in circulation in 1860 actually 3039 different
kinds of bad money, and it was estimated
that about SEQ, 100000 If it was afloat.
"When the necessities Of the war led TO
the Government issue of paper money all
these old banks went out OF existeuc and
the old cOunterfetS went out with them. 1t
was great boon TO the business community
to have The old stuff wiped out ana the new,
clean currency put into circulation shat was
current all over the Union. 1t was some
years before successful counterieiiS APP
peared. The first issue of the National
Bank notes of the denomination of So was
practically not c0unterft tied Tor fifteen
years. Even taking all the denominations
of National Bank money aud all the varie-
ties of money issued by the Government. the
number of these varieties is trfling compared
with tie immense number of banks before
the war, whose notes were all different
"When it is considered how many millions
OF dollars of the same sort are issued by the
Government it is wonderful that the genuine
plates are not oftcner nsed for the purpose
of printing unauthorized issues. OF course
it is presented that the safeguards of the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing are so
great that no such work could be done. But
there Is a well authenticated case where the
printer actually did print from the genuine
plates without discovery while being
watched by bank officer. Some years ago
there was famous suit, in which the Gov
eminent financial agent in New York claimed
to have redeemed certain issue which
proved to be unauthorized. and the experts
were very much In conflict as to whether the
issue was actually counterfeit or printed
from Government plates 1t was finally de-
cided by a jury that the issue was counter
felt, although some reputable experts swore
that it was printed from the Government
