There is a strong and growing
 public sentiment in favor of rotation
 In office, as regards State and Coun- ty officers. The general idea that two terms is long enough for one man to hold any such office, has much strong reasoning to back it. If rotation had been the rule, the State and some counties, would not have lost so heavily by defalcations, Senator Hamby has introduced q bill, on this line, in the State Senate.

LIFE OR DEATH?
The Eye as Test for Deciding the Momen
tous Question.

The Eye as Test for Deciding the Momen-
tous Question.
A peculiar interest is attached to every
method proposed for determining whether
life in the human body Is extinct or not.
Science tells that, according to DR.. W. r.
Covers, of England, as soon as the heart
ceases to beat and respiration stops the diff
fused redness of the optic nerves disk, caused
by capillary circulation, disappears in few
minutes and the nerves become white. AS
the hearts action slowly fails before death
the arteries diminish in size, and when it
ceases the diminution is suddenly increased,
and they quickly disappear from the disk,
appearing to commence at it's edge" In
the retina they remain longer but dimin-
ished in size. The veins persist longer than
the arteries, but like them may rapidly be-
come invisible on the disk, appearing to
start from its edge" The blood in them
soon breaks up into fragments, giving them
''beaded appearance. The veins in the
retina remain visible, while the "beaded
appearance increases" In ten to thirty
minutes the arteries are no longer visible in
the retina. The color of the chord remains
normal for few minutes and then under
goes various changes, according to the
amount of pigment it contains. Soon the
retina becomes Opaque, when red spot in
the macula lutea may be seen, because free
from specification, just as is the case in
,mbolism Of the central artery. In the
course of about six hours the media become
30 hazy that further observation is impossi-
BILE. The reason of the rapid disappearance
of the arteries is because their continued
contraction after death presses the blood
out of them

Embalming and Arsenical Poisoning.

Attention has recently been directed By
medical authorities to the hindrances to
proper post mortem examination in cases
of suspected poisoning. occasioned by the
practice, common with undertakers, of so
called ''embalming," or injecting into the
body, soon after death, solution OF chem
icals intended to preserve it. These consist
for the most part of arsenic or mercury,
and it is plain that the question would be
at once raised by the attorney for the de-
fense where, upon the strength OF the
medical examination after death, homicide
by poisoning was alleged, whether the pol
son was introduced before or after death,
by the criminal or the undertaken, and
