Bond Issues

The Los Angeles board of school d.
rectors proposes to ask the people to vote
in favor Of a proposition to issue bonds
to the amount Of $685., 300 for the purpose
Of constructing new school buildings
The Herald says the purpose is COM
mendable. but that the board of direc-
tors in itself supplies an insurmount-
able obstacle to the success of the pro-
position. The history of the board, the
Herald says, Is not such as to inspire
the people with confidence that the
money would be wisely expended. "For
three terms" says the Herald, "tha
board Of education has been so con-
trolled by cliques that the whole school
system Is honeycombed with ward poll
tics" And then the Herald adds that
"if the board of education wishes to
avoid the modification of being turned
down it would better not ask for the
bonds"
The condition which our Los Angeles
contemporary insists upon as pre-
liminary to bond issue is precisely the
condition that has been applied in San
Francisco. The people will refuse to
issue bonds until reasonable assurance
is given that the money will not be
wasted. The people are compelled to in
trust the current revenues of the city to
the officers they elect, but when a
bonded indebtedness Is to be incurred
they want the security of prudent man.

WHY THE CAMEL HAS A HUMP
Scientists Try to Explain the Origin
and Uses of the Protuberance

Where did the camel get it's hump?
Be it known that camels did not orig
inally have humps on their backs. So
says Prof Catteneo of the Italian Insti-
tute of Science. The proof that they did
not and the explanation of why they
have them now, is given by this savant
in recently published monograph.
which is the result of scientific study Of
the subject.
The llama is known to have been used
as beast of burden centuries before the
discovery of the western hemisphere, but
it is asserted that thousands of years
before the llama carried a load upon its
back the camel had been domesticated
and was used for the transportation Of
burdens.
1t is upon this point that the Italian
savant rests his theory as to the forma-
tion of that animals hump. In the be-
ginning, he says, the camel, like the
llama, was straight of back, but nun
ored centuries, perhaps, Of making a
pack animal of the camel have brought
about the change. At first the skin grew
loose upon the camePs back. Then there
and upon it's knees the skin grew thick
and callous. Soon nature began to pad
this burdened part with fat and muscle;
then for countless generations heredity
did its work; little by little the hump
grew, until it finally reached its present
size.
The use of the camel in the desert
places of the world also played its part
in the formation of this portion Of its
anatomy. For, being forced to go with
out food for days al a time, nature came
to the, rescue of the camel and provident-
ly stored these humps with fat, which
should nourish the beast during it's pc
RODS Of privation.-New York Journal

EFFECT ON THE HEART
physiological Results of Music on the
Organs Of the Body

MN. Binet and ]. Courtier give an ac-
count, translated from the London Lam
Get, OF experiments made by themselves
ana others on human beings and animals
or the effects Of music on the heart and
respiration. M. Patrizi, an Italian physi-
oiogist, had patient with wound in the
Skull which laid bare the brain. He was
thus enabled to observe the actual ef-
fect OF music on the circulation. Music
occasioned an increase in the size of the
brain itself. The effect on the cerebral
circulation was variable, the vessels be-
ing sometimes CONSTRUCTED and some
times dilated At other times no effect
was produced. NM. Binet and Courtier
experimental on a musician. Isolated
notes, chords in unison and discords
were first tried. Both major chords
struck In a lively manner and discords
quickened the respiration, but the lat
Fter more especially. Minor chords tend
ed to retard the respiration When melo-
dies were tried it was found that all.
whether grave or gay, produced quick
ened respiration and increased action of
the heart. The lively tunes produced the
greatest acceleration.
The subject also sometimes uncon.

respirations with those of the sinper
In rallentando and diminuendo passages
the respiration was retarded Where the
SOUND was wholly uncomplicated by
emotional ideas, as in single notes and
chords, the hearts action was acceler-
ated, but not in so marked a degree al
when melody, either grave or gay. was
played. During operate pieces, or those |
we'll known to the subject, the accelera-
tion attained its maximum. The subject
had strongly marked capillary pulse.
The influence of music on the capillary
circulation was tested by a plethysmo-
graph attached to the right hand The
capillary tracing usually was occasioned
by the sound of single notes, chords or
discords. In sad melodies, especiallv
minor ones, there was almost no dimi-
mutton, while in lively airs the diminu-
ton was marked.
