Rotation of the Globe.

When next you chance to eat an
egg, says the Brooklyn Eagle, you
can easily make an experiment, which
is not only productive of much
amusement, but also illustrates in u
manner so clear and simple that even
child can comprehend it, the double
movement. of the earth, which re-
wolves simultaneously around the sun
on its own axis.
Moisten slightly with water the
rim of your plate and in the center
paint with the yoke of the egg (you
see that you have not to go far for

rays. Then all you have to do is to
place the empty half she'll of your
egg on the rim of the plate, and keep.
ing this latter duly sloped and sift-
ing gradually round so that the shell
may always have an inch or two of
descending plane before it, you will
see the eggshell begin to revolve rap.

same time travelling around the plate.

Judge Wallace Sustained

The Supreme Court of California
has handed down a decision sustain
ing Judge Wallace's Grand Jury, and
now there is weeping and wailing and
gnashing OF teeth among the boodlers
of San Francisco, and the prospects
are that several prominent politi-
clans will leave California for their
own safely and the country's good
and join the Buckley colony north OF
the line In Canada.
The Supreme Court, without pass
ing upon the question whether the
Grand Jury was impanneled in ac-
cordance with the provisions of law,
deemed it sufficient to say that such
body has certainly a de facto exist
ence, and this being so Raymond and
Gage were clearly guilty of contempt
In refusing 10 testify.

Tee Hard on That Beard.

We agree with the Reno Journal in
the opinion given below that the
abuse now being heaped upon the
Stale Board of Assessors Is not fair
and lust. It Is the law and not the
Board that Is at fault. The Journal
says:
"It Is hardly fair to blame the State
Board of Assessors and Equalization
for the injustice of the Act creating
It. They are simply enforcing, as
they understand them, the proyis-
ions of law which was enacted
against the protest of the people.
They did not frame the law and, so
far as known, did not favor its en-
sctment, and certainly did not want
to be saddled with the responsibility
of carrying out Its provisions. They
should have protested against having
duties imposed upon them that were
not attached to their offices at the
time of their election. The whole
blame properly belongs TO the Legis-
lature, or more properly speaking,
to the members of that body who
voted for that measure. 1t is now
evident that State Board of Assess
ors is impracticable. Men, however,
much disposed they may be to do so,
cannot deal justly with the tax payer
without having some personal
knowledge of the value of his prop
erty. To acquire this knowledge,
the State Board would have to spend
at least three months every year
travelling through the State, and as
this is out of the question, the assess
ing feature of the Act should be re-
pealed IL it is not declared unconsti-
tutional.

A Beautiful Tribute.

Judge Goodwin, in splendid obit-
uary of DR.. Gally, one of Nevada's
foremost writer's, closes as follows:
"He was at home everywhere; he
could run funeral all by himself;
he could talk learnedly with the men
of the sciences; he knew all about
the government of the United States
from it's foundation, and when the
small politician ran against him ana
heard him talk for two hours he went
awav with liberal education. And
then in a company OF rough men,
while he never told profane or OBJ
scene story, no one talked but him.
"And so he went joyously down the
trail of his life, until suddenly with
out much warning, his wife died ana
then his heart broke. Writing about
this he said: ITO me there never was
but one woman in the world and she
is gone. Some duties remain for me
to perform, and a brave man has
nothing TO do but his duty, but the
wine has gone out of my life, and
what used to look upon with dread,
will come TO me a messenger as well
come, as after hard days toll, his
brother, Sleep, was welcome
"And now that brother of Sleep
has come, and that great tender
hearted giant has passed away, and
it is sacred pleasure to wave to him
across the divide, all halls and fare
wells.

A Valparaiso dispatch of the 18th
says: Three and perhaps four Amer.
lean sailors from the cruiser Balti-
more, were killed and several others
were more or less severely wounded
in a desperate street fight with Chill
ian sailors. A number of Chilians
were found to be badly hurt after
the fight. There are several accounts
as to the origin of the difficulties;
the one most plausible being that
the hostile feeling toward Americans
prompted the insult to the blue jack
cts, which the latter forcibly resent
ed. The affair is much regretted in
official circles.
