The Republican says Tempe is
undoubtedly the only place in the
United States which operates. a
street car line that does not collect
fares. The line is owned by the
Goodwin Bros, and it has. been in
operation for about four years. It
paid for itself IN a couple Of years
and then the patrons 60. out of the
habit of paying fare. The car still
runs, however, and at dead loss
to the owners, but they manage to
.keep'it going for the accommoda-
ton of tho public, The car has no
regnhr driver or conductor, but
anybody who wants to so to the
other end OF the city takes possess
sion of the car and leaves it for
someone else to bring back.

The Republican says Jim Bark

the devel ,pment of FIVE of his
claims at thu mouth of the box
canyon on the upper Salt River.
According to the terms OF the deal
T. w. Thompson of Chicago agrees

development of the claims. A

several men were seirt out to at

it seems strange, to say the
least, that a human Being must past
through life as cripple if he ever
has the misfortune to lose leg or
an arm. The reader may not see
anything peculiar about the fact
that an amputated limb of a human
,eing. never grows out again, but-to
the editor of "Notrs For the Curl
Gus" it appears that such proyis-
ion might have been made for the
higher creatures justsas we'll as for
those low down in the scale Of life.
A lohster's amputated claws will
grow out again, and a orawtish' S
eyes,rif clipped off, reappear i'll a
very short time. Bennett, the
French naturalist, has amputated
the legs Of tritrons "a species Of
lizard) and fonnd that their powers
Of reproducing such severed mem
hers were almost unlimited In
one case a leg was reproduced
twelve times in single y ear, and
an eye cut out was perfectly sup
piled with a new one within less
than nine months.

ORIGIN OF STRAW BAIL.

The origin OF the familiar ex-
preston, f.straw bail anda "nan

1t dates back 200 years, when the
practiee Of entering worthless bail
was common. Th, exact methods
have not ben transmitted TO pos
terity, bnt in several old English
works is to be- found reference to
them. In one of thes.-Flelding,s
Life of Jonathan. Wild" the thief
catcher--we read that Jonashan $
aunt.marriad q i9eir "who was ia

A little reflection will readily ex-
plain the az parent mystery: Dur
ling the process of mastication de-
glutitioa, etc., certain muscles are
brought inqo active play. 1T is a
we'll established fact in physiology
that the exercise Of any muscle or
set nf.muscles necessitates tenn
porary waste of tissue and that a
certain amonrt of carbon is elimin-
ated md passed of during the
course of meal. This loss, how
ever, is trifling as co.npared with
that of respiration and perspira-.
ton, both of which functions are
increased during the operation of
making a meal. The length of

Increase of respira ton or perspira-
ton, Whereas, if il be hurried

lost appreciably in both moisture

The origin of "another feather

Hungary, in the year l590, it was
deoreed that only he who had
killed Turk should be permitted
to wear feathers, the number of
feathers thus worn to designate the
number Of Turks the wearer had
.vanquished. The law was finally
repealed, but not until it had be-
oome positive reproach to man
not to be able to wear one or more

ers, and consequently tho area of
probable storm development moves
also further South.
If this deduction be true it should
follow that during the November :ast
past, especially during the latter por-
tion of the mouth, the storms
of the month should have de-
veloped in the middle, and Southern
Rocky Mountain slopes instead
of the northern slope and the British
Northwest. An examination Of the
daily weather maps for the past weeks
shows this to haze been the case. This
answers briefly why we are experience
ing midwinter weather fully month
or two in advance of the time ii is usual
to expect it.
As the reasons for the early south
ward of the high area is not known, it
is impossible to accurately predict its
continuance, or to say positively that
the winter will be one of unusual se-
verify, or that the advent of spring
will be early or late.
1t is not even known whether the so
luton of the problem involves terres-
trial or solar Investigation, but tho
first manifestation Of the answer will
be seen in the northwestern portions Of
tho United States and British America.

zecs which wbnld from particular

Inconvenience injury would result
from the opposite construction, and we
may also consider which construction
would best narmonize the various
parts and provisions of the instrument
with each other 1t seems to me that
the foregoing provisions of the Con-
stitution themselves are, however,
enough to show tho intention that
there should be an easy gliding from

ton.
Section 81 Art. W contains tho only
provision of the Constitution which
seems to initiate against this construc-
ton. That section provides: Mag
istrates shall have jurisdiction in such
civil! cases as the General Assembly
may prescribe" And the provlso to
that section limits the jurisdiction
which may be conferred upon Magis-
trates in both civil and criminal cases.
1t is contended by the relator that this
section contemplates that Magistrates
should have jurisdiction only IN such
cases as the General Assembly
may hereafter prescribe, and that,
until the jurisdiction is so pre-
scrihel, they have no jurisdiction IN
any case. Ii this be the two construc-
tons of that section, and If the provls-
ions of the laws giving Trial Justices
jurisdiction which are in force at the
adoption of the Constitution should be
held to be inconsistent with any pro-
vision of the Constitution, it would
seem TINT the provision of such laws
would fall within the exception con-
tanned in the third sub division of sec
tiou IL. article II, by which they are
expressly continued in force until
such legislation us may be required to
enforce that section of the Constitu-
tion can be hud But | rather think
that the proper construction OF the
section is that it was intended to give
the Legislature the right to further
restrict the jurisdiction which had
already been conferred upon magis-
tratcs, if it should be found eXpedient
to do so. For, as the Office of mngis-
tratc was created by the Constitution
ard invested by that instrument with
the jurisdiction, powers and duties
then exercised by Trial Justices. with
out the enabling provision of section
2l, above quoted, it would have been
very doubtful whether the Legislature
could have lesscned or taken away any
! OF the jurisdiction, powers and duties
! 80 conferred.
1t is therefore ordered and adiudgcC
that the rule be, and it is hereby, dis
charged with costs.
