In this issue we publish the proposed
amendments to the constitution. four IN
number, as they will appear or the bal
lot next Tuesday. The fret is a propo
sition to permit increased taxation for
| the purpose of sinking artesian wells and
is of doubtful expediency. The present
limit OF Indebtedness as fixed by our
constitution is > per cent, and is "a safe
guard of the people against extravagant
taxation by irresponsible officers and is
generally considered a wise restriction
at it's present limit. 1t is for the taxpay-
ers to say whether or 10: they wan TO
raise that limit.
The second proposed amendment is to
do away with the local boards of our
state educational institutions and place
tie entire management in board OF
from five to nine state regents appointed
by the governor AS at present, but to be
confirmed by the senate. By having bnt
one board it is hoped to do away with
much of the friction that has arisen in
the past between the two different gov
erning boards >of our educational
institutions.
The third proposed amendment is an
intended addition to our state constitu-
ton prohibiting monoplies and trusts in
this state and giving our Legislature
greater authority in the matter of regu-
latlng and controlling corporations.
At the end Of each of the proposed
amendments is the question to the voter:
Shall the above Amendment to the
constitution be approved and ratlfied!'
II he desires to vote for the Amendment
be puts a cross (x) in the square before
the word "yes." If he desires to vote
against the amendment he puts a cross

The fourth and last proposed amend
ment at the end OF the ballot is: "Shall
Article Twenty-four Of the Constitution
be ~repealed?" Article "a Of the consti.
tuition is the prohibition clause in our
present constitution. Beiowa'the pro
posed amendment TO repeal it, the same
question is asked the voter as in the
other three cases: "Shall the above
amendment TO the constitution be ap

NJ. E. Chalk, wishing to find out
whether in calm weather the air of the
seashore contains an appreciable. guam
tity of sea salt,made several Xperiments
in Jersey, in August, 1895. In each eX-
pertinent he caused, by means of an
aspirator, 1000 liters go cubic feet) of
air to pass through a solution of silver
nitrate. In every case there was not the
least cloudiness of the solution, prov
ing that the air contained no salt. This
is not at all surprising, for it is well
known that the air contains salt only
when the wind carries off salt spray held
mechanically in suspension, and derived
from the wave crests; the salt of sea
water cannot evaporate into the at
mosphere. The evident conclusion is
that, to obtain the beneficial action of
sea air, we must go where the air is
sufficiently agitated by the wind to con-
tinually hold the sea water in suspen-
sion. Such localities are infinitely more
beneficial and active.-Revue Scien-
tifque.

QUALITY OF CYPRESS WOOD.
The Trees Are Notoriously Slow Growing
But Are Durable.

The Trees Are Notoriously Slow Growing,
But Are Durable.
The cypress is VIGOROUSLY slow
growing tree, and it's work is just as
VIGOROUSLY durable. 1t is capable of not
only resisting the action of the weather
in manner totally different to all other
woods, but is wholly uninfuenced by
immersion in water over a long period
of years. 1t has many curious chemical
properties, which hold its fibers and
other constituents together so indis-
solubly that the ordinary changes which
break down the tissues of ordinary
woods are in cypress wholly resisted.
Instances are known where the wood
of the cypress has endured for moro
than 1000 years, leaving it still in solid
condition, subject only to the attrition
of the elements, such as the gradual
wearing away one sees in exposed rocks.
In the lower valley of the Mississippi
a species of cypress is extremely album
dant and in New Orleans lately, while
a cypress stockade was found which
was erected in 1870 by the French as a
protection against the Indians. Some
of the pieces measured 81 inches in
width, with a thickness of about 12
inches, and, though it had been buried
for SO many years, it was in perfect
condition when exhumed, even the tool
marks being still clearly visible.
By series of experiments extend
ing over many years, it has been found
the cypress wood endures the varying
conditions of greenhouses better than
any other wood. Greenhouses exposed
to all the vicissitudes of heat, moisture
and changes of temperature, show the
cypress timber used in their construc-
ton to be practically unchanged after
more than so years of use; and, being
sufficiently tough for the purpose, it is
probable it will come more generally
into use for building where a wood of
great resisting power is required. Many
old doors made by the early Spaniards
in America are still as serviceable as
ever, although exposed to most trying
climate.-Chicago News.

still the favorite necklace, have slides
set withNcolored stones bedded in dia-
| lnonds.
This passion for color has led to the
combining of transparent light on the
pearl. 1t should be set with diamond;
also it may be set with an opal, foT
the crimson of one seems to find an
echo in the red flames of the other, with
a result that is exquisite. The emerald
and the amethyst combine perfectly
with pearls.
Opals continue very fashionable, as do
Turquoise and other. translucent and
opaque stones. There can be com
bined for color without the disadvan-
tage that pertains to the brilliants, and
some of the most beautiful jewels of
this year are formed of such stones in
contrast. Thus a necklace of cut coral
and black pearls in alienation, sep
arated by a space of three or four small
or diamonds. This is delicious. An
other similar arrangement is of tor
QuoiseS and moonStones.
The same rule of combination holds
good for rings.
There is great deal of colored enam-
cling, and as the French are past mas
tiers in this art, some wonderful work
is to be seen. 1t is particularly applied
to watches and to the pin of the fob
that holds the watch as mentioned
above.
Jewelry designs in general have inn
proved in taste.-N. y. Evening Tele-

CUBA.

Congress has passed resolutions
recognizing the Cuban insurgents as
belligerants, and empowering the
president TO use his best efforts to
secure the recognition of Cuban in
dependence. This is the right course,
the true American, liberty loving
spirit. Last October the Hooking
and Ohio Editorial Association passed
resolutions urging congress to take
this step. This was the first action
of any onganized body in the country
and through Senator Calvin S. Brice
were passed to the Committee on
Foreign Relations, and became the
nucleus for the proceedings that have
followed, resulting the resolutions
just passed.
