The state government Of California
has decided very wisely to purchase
the redwood grove in the big basin.
Santa Cruz county, and has set aside
S25O,OOO for that purpose. This grove
Is well located for a show place and
contains some magnificent specimens
OF the redwood. one Of which is more
than twenty feet in diameter. North
ward in San Mateo county there are
forests of a similar character, and the
work OF destruction in that region
and in the region still farther north
beyond San Francisco Bay emphasizes
the need Of immediate action to pre-
vent the complete O%bliteration of a
splendid and unique possession which
should certainly be cherished by the
state.

Tramp Corporations.

A revised corporation law went into
effect in West Virginia a few days
ago. That state still hopes to compete
with New Jersey in the business Of
creating large corporations for pur-
poses of state revenue. The new law
places no limit upon the capitaliza-
ton of a company, but it requires the
payment of a license fee and an an
nusl tax. each of which varies from
$40 to $1,01O On corporations ranging
up to 100000 900 capitalization, with
$50 extra for each added million. The
most undesirable feature of the law is
found in the fact that the state does
not hold the corporations it creates to
account. 1t creates them and turns
them loose on other states.

the air, and If a stream Of hydrogen he
directed upon the Platinum the chemi-
cal combination OF the two gases takes
place with sufficient energy to raise the
temperature of the platinum black IN
til it becomes red hot, or sufficiently
hot to render incandescent a platinum
wire placed over the slot Of the gas
burner. Formerly these igniters have
become inefficient in a short time, on
account of the atoms OF one Of the In
gredient coalescing with those of the
other, when the atoms are too closely
connected to occlude oxygen at the or
binary temperature with sufficient ra-
pidity to heat the platinum wire. How
ever, this inventor claims to have dis
covered a process which will overcome
this difficulty. To accomplish this
result the bone-ash is heated to a high
temperature to purify 1t and is then
mixed with water and platinum black
to form a paste. which Is subjected 20
a high degree of heat in a mold of the
required shape. 1t is then ready for
connection with the wire which forms
the igniter.

A RETURN to the old method of electing
members of the New Jersey Assembly, by
districts, has been desired by the larger
cities of that state ever since the Supreme
Court decided that the custom was uncon-
stitutional This was in 1894. and since
then the Assemblymen have been chosen
by counties, voting as a whole The rea-
son why return to the district system OF
choosing the Assemblymen would be fair
and just are now being presented by the
supporters of the former method. 1t is
recalled that the decision of the Supreme
Court in this matter was never carried to
the Court of Errors and Appeals, and,
after careful investigation, it is believed
by many Republicans and Democrats that
it would be set aside. If this opinion
shall prevail with sufficient force to war
rant the introduction of bill in the next
Legislature which shall restore the old
method of electing Assemblymen, such a
bill will be introduced and passed. The
reasons why the district system should be
restored, briefly summarized, are: There
are thirty thousand Republican voters in
Hudson, yet for several years they have
not had direct voice in Trenton legisla-
tion, because of the present system of
electing Assemblymen. In Essex the
thousands of Democrats who are in the
minority in the county have not had a
single Democratic representative in the
Assembly since 1894. If Asserlblymen
were elected by Assembly districts it is
believed the minority party in each county
would be able to secure some representa-
ton. What is true of Hudson and Essex
counties applies, if not with equal force,
to several other counties of this state. =
