whole for the purpose of CONSIDERING
ways and means for obtaining control
of the school property located in the
various districts recently annexed t.
the city. All of the districts divided
by the new city line, except Vernon
have circulated petitions to be annexed
to the city for school purposes. and a.
the board of supervisors will undoubt
ediy grant their request, the conitc
versy with respect to these four di.

within the city limits is the bone of
contention. The city board agrees to
pay for this in the proportion which the
number of children taken into the city
bears to those left in Vernon district
The Vernon district claims that the
city should pay for the buildings at the
full appraised value, and the people of
that district will probably mandamus
the trustees of the district from trans
ferring the insurance policies to the
city board of education, and this will
bring the matter directly before the
courts.

A knowledge of one simple law in
nature may save the fiower-grower days
and weeks of hard and unavailing la
Dor in attempting to produce that fa-
nous chimera of the botanists-the
blue rose. The law is simply this: The
three colors, red, blue and yellow, never
allappearin thesame species of flowers;
any two may exist, but never the third.
Thus we have red and yellow roses, but
no blue; red and blue verbenas, but no
yellow; yellow and blue in the various
members of the violet family, but no
red. Other examples of this rigid law
could be cited, but tho above are suffi-
cient. The botanist or floriculturist
who really understands his business
never attempts to produce blue rose
or a red violet.

camera obscura into the stomach
through the medium of a soft rubber
tube. By suddenly closing the current
an instantaneous photograph should
be created. But technical difficulties
have thus far prevented the realization
of this plan.
In 1892 T. Heryng and N. Reichmann
made public an apparatus consisting
Of lamp introduced by a tube into the
stomach and cooled by filling the stom-
ach with water before it's introduction.
But this apparatus was also found to
possess defects and was rejected as un-
feasible.
The plan proposed by Voltolini for
the transillumination of the larynx,
says Golfers Weekly, led DR.. Max
Einhorn, of New York city, to the in
vcntion of his gastrodiaphane, which
seems to have fully solved the problem
of Illuminating the stomach so pro-
foundly that any diseased condition ap-
pears through the abdominal walls and
is patent to the eye of the trained OBJ
server.
This gastrodiaphane is nothing NOR,
nor less than a small electric lamp hav
ing candle power of from eight tt
twelve volts and composed of a metal
lie or carbon electrode inclosed in
Der. Attached to this is soft rubbel
tube containing the conducting wires
which are incased in silk.
The electricity is derived from {,
simple storage battery, the circuit ol
which has been broken by wire sheo
stat of a known resistance.
The method of employing this in
strument is as follows: The patient
standing or sitting in a darkened room
is requested to drink one or two glasses
of cold water. The electric capsule
which is not as large as a small-sizet
olive, is fabricated with glycerol ant
can then be swallowed without any diff
fculty. When the current is turned or
it is diffused throughout the water con,
tanned in the stomach and the outline
of that organ may then be traced
through the anterior abdominal wall
as translucent reddish zone.
By this procedure, pathological states
of the stomach, such as tumors or thick
tation or a downward displacement,
may be recognized as darkened, en-
larged or displaced areas, respectively,
and an appropriate course of treatment
instituted.
I'rof. Howard A. Kelly, of Baltimore,
has adopted similar aid in exploring
the abdominal cavity after an incision
is made through it's walls He EMPLOYS

with the source of supply by insulated

ing to will in any direction, every ac-
cessible portion of the abdominal and
pelvic center appears with vivid dis
tinctness, and the smallest oozing YES

accurately united by delicate sutures

Senators Remind the Spanish Minister
That His Conduct rs UnbecOming.

That His Conduct Is UMbecOming.
Washington, March 1L.-One of the
principal speeches in the senate to-day
will, be delivered by Mr. Hoar, rep,
Mass, on his motion to postpone fur
ther consideration of the conference
report on the Cuban resolutions until
April and to direct the committee on
foreign rela tions to report in the mean-
time the facts ON which the resolutions
were justified. The action of the Span
ish minister in correcting or qnaldfy-
ing, through the public press, state
ments made in the senate on the sub
ject of the war in Cuba, and particu-
larly on the subject OF Gen. Weyler's
purposes and character, was made the
ground work of a question of personal
privilege by Senator Lodge, rep,
Mass The Massachusetts senator pro-
tested against any diplomatic repre-
sentative using the newspapers of the
United States to ,criticise senators for
words spoken in debate, and intimated
that in any other country a foreign
minister, who should be guilty of such
a violation of propriety, would be sent
home. Mr.. De Lome's action was
rather palliated by Mr.. Gray, dem.,
Del, although he admitted that it was
a technical violation of diplomatic
usage. Mr.. Teller, rep, Col, was less
benignantly inclined. Under the cir
cumstances he would not, if he were
president, send the Spanish minister
home, but he would suggest to him
that repetition of the offense would
necessitate his leaving the country.

was going to sea at once, buD she did
not do so. She steamed down the

where she dropped anchor and re-
