The Circle of IA Rain how.

The earliest attempt at explaining the
phenomenon of the rainbow and its cir
cular form was made by Aristotle, who.
over twenty centuries before the birth
of modern science, gave correct en-
PLANTATION. He observed that from a
glass globe filled with water and set
in the sun certain colors were always
returned at certain angles with the
course of the suns beams; and he
properly explained the circular form
of the bow, by saying that if the sun.
beam passing through the observers
eye be taken as an axis. and the globe
be revolved round this axis. and at the
same distance from it i'm all parts of
its course, the same colors. preserving
their angle with the direction of the
sunbeams or of the axis. would be
visible through all parts of this course:
and hence it followed that rainbow
would result if there were globes
enough, and 50 placed as to reflect
colors at the same time from all parts
of an arc of such circle"

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an ill.,
famed condition OF the mucous lining of the
Eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflam-
is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
which is nothing but an intamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.

TALK OF A ..NEW DEAL"
Possibility Of n Readtustment Among
the Employees.

There is some talk of making "a new
deal' all around among the employees
of the Legislature at the end OF the first
thirty days. This practice began in a
small way at the last session in order to
enable the officers elected TO fulfill all the
promises they made in securing the cleo
ton. 1t did no harm then among the door
keepers. but there was not a little fric-
ton and confusion, due to the pushes of
dividing time among appointees on the
clerical force. Some of them who had just
got fairly broken in" were compelled TO
give way to green hands. This year they
have an excellent clerical force in the Sen
ate and -four or five good men in the House,
and it Is the universal mme that both
ranches are peculiarly fortunate in the
character Of doorkeepers employed. While
a number of people have. of course. been
refused admittance because they could not
show proper credentials, it has always been
lone in a gentlemanly way, and not a case
OF discourtesy at the doors has been re-
ported since the session began.

County Seat Of Newton.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
In Mondays Journal an article appeared
in r ga d 10 the spe :ial bill. now pend ng.
for the relief of Newton county on the
county seat que tiCn. Morocco is lot a
small village mar the c. & T.. /. Rail
road but is a town OF 1000 inhabiti ants.
and is of cons.d iable commercial iInpor-
lance. on the line of this railroad. and in
about the geographical as well as the Gen.
ter of population. The motive power is
not furnished by big land syndicates.' but
by old and reliable citizens, who for thirty
five years have been compelled TO travel
within two miles of tho south end of a
county that is thirty-seven miles long. in
order to transact county business. In 1860.
after the county seat had been located at
kentland. by a commission appointed by
the Governor, there We're 525 voters. all told,
in the county. The people were dissatisfied
with the selection of the commission. and at
once circulated a petition for removal,
which was signed by 3S3 out of the total of
5o voters in the county. This petition
failed through a technicality. Since that
time four other attempts have been made
by different towns in the county. at Cifer-
ent times; in three of these attempts the
necessary number of petitioners were Sc
cured. but the failure was caused by tech
nicalities. In 1864. when the present court
house was erected. the bids called for a
building that should not exceed in cost the
munificent sum of loco. that house still
stands. and is in daily use, the only court
house that Newton county possesses. The
question of permanent public buildings is
now forced upon the people of the county.
The Archibald bill. as now introduced. pro-
vides hat a majority of the people of New
ton county shall say where the county seat
shall be located. 1t discriminate against
no town in the county. but leaves the field
open for all. If this bill is passed the town
in Newton county that secures a majority
of all the votes will be settled for all time.
Wrangling and contention will cease. A
new courthouse and jail will be built, and
the public buildings OF Newton county will
cease TO be a disgrace to civilization. The
bill asks that the question may be sub
mitted 10 the majority of the people of
Newton county; that the humble farmer as
we'll as the rich land owner may have a
vote. &.
