The Leverage In II Sore vdriver.

1t is sometimes supposed by persons
imperfectly informed in mechanics that
a long screwdriver gives greater lev
erage than Il short one. This. how
ever. is incorrect. The action Of a
screwdriver. the pressure Oh which is
direct, is not in any way analogous to
that of lever. The superiority of Il
long screwdriver rests simply on two
facts-frst. you can generally get a
better grip on long screwdriver than
on short one and can bring the whole
weight of the body and strength of the
arms to bear on it, and, second, the tor
sion of the iron in u long screwdriver
comes in to supplement the force EN-
ployed. The only way in which lever
age can come in is in connection with
the breadth of the point of the screw
driver. and even this counts for moth
ing beyond the breadth of the head of
the screw

An Irish SUuire's Advice.

An upstart Irish squire went to an
old squire for advice as to sending Il
challenge.
"Healy Of Loughlinstown," said he.
''has threatened to pull me by the nose
whenever he meets me. What would
you advise me to dog
HAS he really used that threat?'
asked the squire.
He has,
"Well," said the squire, "Tll tell you
what to do-soap your nose we'll and
it will slip through his fingers"
Perhaps the most contemptuous dec

A Lost Combination.

The Chinese had all the grand secrets
of electrical discoveries more than 5000
years ago, and they made use of the
magnet as loadstOne long before that.
Historical records show where their az
mics were led across the vast plains of
the interior of the nation by a combi-
nation of electricity as a combined
power of loadstones and some other
substances unknown to the Celestials
Of the present day.
This form of electricity is among the
lost arts and must come to the front
with other grand discoveries within the
next few years. But not the great and
learned shall have the benefit Of this
forthcoming discovery in electricity.
The one who shall have this golden
key to grand electric mystery shall
have the fruits of his labors.>

BONDS AND SALARIES.

T. McCants Stewards reading OF the
County Bill has brought out some very
good suggestions worthy of more
than passing attention. His recon-
mendation that the Supervisors and
members OF county boards should serve
without pay Is particularly timely In
view OF the varying contentions-on
the one hand that local self govern
ment Is being urged on account OF In
that officials to 90 their best must be
paid.
A man not willing to give a portion
of his time to civic matters or public
Office without good sized salary lacks
one OF the first requirements OF what
may be termed civic duty. This Is par
ticularly true Of county officials who
by the division Of labor contemplated
In this bill will not be Obliged to give
up such a large measure of their time
as is now demanded from members OF
Territorial Boards. Inability TO OBJ
tain good men unless they are paid Is
often talked and vigorously expounded,
particularly In this Territory. II this
assertion be true-and the Bulletin
does/not believe that It ie-it is moth
ing short OF serious reflection on the
character OF our best citizenship. The
selfish motive should not forever re-
main uppermost in the public mind

Furthermore, the proposal OF requir-
ing bonds for these officers does not
carry the protection which seems to
be anticipated. Dishonest officials can
not be made honest by salaries or
bonds, II they are determined to go
astray these safeguards will not hold
them in check. What the Territory
and the county wants and must hSye is
