One of our legislators has in
troduced a bill to do away with
the examination by county
superintendents Of applicants
for teachers certificates and.
making 1.-THE duty of the state
superintendent to mark all pa
pers. The examination will be
conducted the same as at pres
ent but the county superintend-
ent must send in all papers to
the state departm ent where the
standings will be examined and
the papers sent back to the county
official who will issue certificates
according to the markings of the
state superintendent. This is a
good measure and will do away
with a great deal Of favoritism
both political and otherwise
and will fix it so that applicants
will get certificates on their
merits and not on the 'pull" they
may have at home. It will also
save the county superintendent
considerable trouble and an
noyance. The bill would seem.
to be m ,ritorious one and will
probably receive considerable
attention at the hands of the
legislature.

The legislature is having an
other spas n of economy on pa
per. Some time ago the house
voted to adjourn in so days and
sent it to the senate for ratifica-
tlon. That august body would
not accept the SO day business
and passed a resolution to ad-
journin IS days and fred that
into the house where it got it
where the chicken got the ak,
and there endeth the first lesson
in economy. The second heat IS
an attempt to cut down the
salaries Of the state employees
and cut down the appropria-
tions. This is a move in the right
direction and we believe that the
senate will do something in that
line but with the members who
have state institutions in their
towns working against such .
move it is doubtful if those who
are in favor of cutting down the
appropriations will be able to ac-
complish much. We hope that
the legislature will look more to
the financial standing Of the state
than to the towns who have the.
institutions and pare down the
ropriations to the lowest.

Senator Cox, of Barnes coun-

senate to fix over the salaries of
our state officials and to cut down
the clerk hire in the several Of
fees. This is q move in the right
direction and should have been
instituted years ago. Its to be
hoped that the bill will pass. 1t
is aimed at those officials who
draw a large salary in addition
to receiving a large amount for
clerk hire and then after they
have been sworn into Office and
their bonds accepted turn over
their Offices to the Deputies and
clerks and then go home and
draw their money without doing
a tap. That kind of work has
played out, and if those Of our
patriotic citizens who are willing
to offer themselves to us as
willing sacrifices on the altar of
the politicians for the salary that
there is in it, would also do some
thing to earn that money, thou
sands of dollars could be saved

FORMALIN AS A PLANT PRESER-
VATIVE.

Al ~
The use of formalin for the preserva-
ton Of geological specimens Is now very
general. Its application to the preser-
walton of plants and flowers, however, is
quite new. The most satisfactory re-
suits are obtained with five per cent.
solution of formaldehyde i. e., an
eighth of the strength of the commercial
formalin, which contains forty per cent.
of formaldehyde. The flowers and por-
lions of plants immersed in this and
kept in the dark remain intact, while
the tissues become more or less translu-
cent, showing the structure. After sew
enteen months yellow calceolaria flow
ers lose but little of their color, while
tulip and hyacinth lose about thirty per
cent. A white tulip becomes translu-
cent, but retains it's external form per-
fectly. The odor Of mignonette is still
perceptible after four months, notwith-
standing the penetrating odor of the
formalin itself. Unfortunately the So
luton soon beaches blue colors. The
action of the formalin is
due to it's destroying all external micro
organisms and preventing the inter-ac-
tion of the plant cells by contracting
their protoplasm. Pharmaceutical Jour-

the first of it's kind in England, but is
absolutely the first Diesel engine con-

power; its power cylinder Is seven and
-eighths inches in diameter, stroke
ten and three-fourth inches and two

it is horizontal. Professor Unwin
states that this engine will convert 81

Notwithstanding all the difficulties,
such as complicated parts, compression
of air to six or seven hundred pounds
pressure, there seems every prospect of

gray gloom of sky and water What
their reflections were no one can tell,
but that they were not highly pleased
with their first experience of American
climatic conditions may be inferred
from the manner in which they asserted
themselves when an effort was made to
take them from the steamer. For
downright obstinacy, these camelS

rude shed under which they were
housed during the voyage was torn
down. The only coVering of the camels
then was hemp mat, on the back of
