summary Of Decision.

Following Is q summary of the Su-
preme Court decision in the home rule
amendment case. The court declares:
That trifiing difference between
the journals Of the two houses does
not Affect the validity Of the amend
ment
That the point raised a. to alleged
loss OF property BY the division Of Ar
apahoe county II worthless. because
the Legislature has full power to d.
vide counties.
That the claim that the city and
county Of Denver will be an indepen-
dent sovereignty within the state is
worthless. because the general laws of
the state will continue to operate in
the city and county just as they al
ways have done.
That the failure of an actual major
ity of the persons voting at the cleo
ton to vote in favor Of the amendment
is not q point to be given any consit-
GRAFTON.
That the Taylor amendment Of four
years ago, authorizing the submission
Of amendments to six articles Of the
constitution. was valid, and that
amendments to six articles may be
submitted by the Legislature.
That amendment of the constitution
may be made by addition of a new ar
tIcle and is not restricted to a mere
change In some article already in the
instrument.
That the home rule amendment as
submitted was only one amendment;
that amendment by implication of 9TH
er articles does not make 1t more than
one amendment, and that a single
amendment may contain several sub
jects. provided they are germane to
the general subject Of the amendment.
II an amendment is submitted in &C.
cordance with the rules laid down in
the constitution itself and receives a
majority of the votes cast on 1t, 1t is a
valid amendment and becomes q part
of the constitution. The court holds
that the home rule amendment was
properly submitted and. having re-
ceived a majority from the people. is
now part Of the constitution of the
state.

Liability to Deafness.

A French surgeon says that men are
more subject to aural diseases than
women, says Golden Penny. and that
out of every seven middle-aged per-
sons there are two who do not hear
rs well with one ear as with the other.
In every thousand children under fif.
teen years of age four show symp-
toms Of some ear diseases. and six
q marked deficiency in hearing power.
The liability to disease increases from
birth. to the age of forty, and then be-
gins gradually to decrease as old age
advances. Out of the total number of
cases subjected to surgical treatment,
1t is estimated that about SO per cent
are cured and 80 per cent permanently
relieved.

There are In the Old and New Tes-

the New Testament there are twenty

get the total given. How long will 1t

And how long to read the 773,692

sumo that man can read critically

at least sixty words minute. That
is slow reading. being only $500
words an hour. Suppose man should
devote an hour day to the Bible.
.'At this rate he would read 100000
words in thirty days. or In a months
time. At this rate he would read the
Old Testament in less than sis
months. and he could finish the New
Testament in less than two months. "
