John \. Morrill,, Esq. of Auburn, the
commissioner appointed at the last
Letsis Ia tive session to prepare a revision
Of. the Public Laws of the State. is
sending cut the advance sheets, as re-
CURED byNthe law. The first INSTALL
,ment contains the constitution and the
laws governing the qualification, cleo
tion and duties of State officials. The
marginal notes, containing the gist OF
the subject-matter, and the foot notes.
comprising references, are very COM
prehensiye and far more complete than
in former volumes.
81 The size ofsthe printed page is the
same as that of the last volume, print
ed in 1888; but each page of the new
edition, being set in smaller type and
without leading, contains very nearly
one third more words than did the 1883
book. This change in composition was
necessitated by the fact that the num-
Der Of additional laws enacted since the
last revision Is so great that space had
to be economized 50 as to avoid max
ing two volumes. The saving thus made
in composition, press work, paper and
binding. alFof which enter into the cost
Of production, is no inconsiderable
item.
Another important consideration is
that the printers must keep the type
standing, from the time the prelimi-
narv edition Of 500 copies is printed, for
tho examination Of the members OF the
LEGISLATURE of 1902, until such time as
AL additions. changes and alterations
are completed and approved. This
work is being done ~ the State printers

The recommendations of the MAYOR bear
50 closely upon these funds. ana are Of
sGch interest TO taxpayers now and in
the future that they are given below:
The credit Of the city Of Augusta il
SO high that it could borrow money at
a rate not MUCH above three per cent
per annum. When this ordinance was
passed. the rate Of interest was much
higher than now, ana then Ii may have
been reasonable for the city to pay that
rate. Bat now conditions have changed.
and there seems to he no good reason
why the city in addition to serving grat-
uitously as 4 trustee and guaranteeing
the safety Of the fund should also be
taxed to add to the income of pri-
waite funds. While the city can borrow
money at practically three per cent. ana
in coming years possibly less. I believe
the rate which the city should BAY az in
terest on trust funds Of which it assumes
the care ought mot to exceed three per
cent. per annum. Any greater rate than
this would lc an enforced contribution
from our people to private beneiiciaries.
l believe that no funds should be here
after accepted by the city as a trustee
under any agreement to pay a higher
rate of interest than three per cent. per
annum. No matter how deserving. how
charitable the purpose may be it is not

A ball OF beeswaX introduced into the shell Of a

property OF the Smithsonian Institution.
The ball of placed near the hinge OF the

carefully watched. The irritation Of the wax
caused the mollusk to protect itself by coating
the foreign object with smooth coating of pearl
stuf-the same material that which is used in
lining the inner surface of its shell In in
question the result was enormous pearl. Owing
70 pressure, however, the ball lost its spherf-
cal shape and became oval in form.
At the end of two years the mussel was taken
OF the tank and opened. and the pearl removed
The wax afterward contracted. owing to dryness

the pearl made IL possible to observe the thickness

greater than that Of an ordinary sheet of letter
