Seyen new laws were made last Friday
when Governor Stokes affixed his signature
to as many bills recently enacted by the
senate and general assembly. Four Of these
measures were from the senate while the
remaining three had their origin in the
lower branch.
Probably the most important Of the bills
signed is senate No. 81 by Mr.. Wakelee,
which appropriates $40, 600, or as much as
may be necessary, for the construction Of a

pending measure to place the death
chamber in or contiguous to the state
prison.
The other senate bills signed were Nos.
18, 40 and Al. The latter two, introduced
by Senator Ackerman, relate to the disposal
of submerged land in the Delaware river to
the federal government. No 40 gives the
eonsentrof the state TO the acquisition by
the United States OF state land for govern
ment use, while No. Al authorizes the state
to convey to the federal authorities the
right, title and interest in and to submerg-
ed land in the river, between the state Of
New Jersey and Delaware for she purpose
Of aiding in the improvement Of navi-
cation.
Senate IS amends paragraph 40 of the
militia act OF 1906 SO as to read ssThe
surgen general shall have two assistants,
one Of whom shall be commissioned assist
ant surgeon general with the rank Of colon
ell; the other, to be commissioned medical
inspector with the rank Of lieutenant coll
onel."
The house bills signed were Nos. 50, 1O4
and 116. The last named amends the
factory inspector act By requiring the COM
missioner of labor to inspect all bakeries
every six months, or upon complaints
made to him of violations Of the law. It
also fixes penalties for unsanitary and un-
ventilated bake shops.
House No. 104. by Mr.. Baker, provides
that widows Of honorably discharged union
soldiers, sailors and marines, who served in
the rebellion, may retire on pension from
public office or position after 25 years con-
tinuous service therein.
House 50 prohibits pawnbrokers from re-
oeiving mechanics tools used in the erect
tion Of building without a certificate
from two reputable citizens that the person

was shown to a room on the third

The power Of waves, says M. Brou-
min in La Nature, Is the sum of two eff
forts, one dynamic and due to the or
bital movement Of the water particles,
the other static and dependent on the
height Of the center Of gravity Of the
mass raised above its normal position.
Theory and observation seem to show
that the total power of waves Is divid-
ed equally between these static and
dynamic effects. If body of water
meets the wall of structure there is a
shock, and this is most violent at the
water surface, diminishing with the
depth. At the moment of meeting jets
Of water rise sometimes to very great

QUEER LIZARDS.
These Have the Power of Spouting
Blood From the Eyes.

These Have the Power of Spouting
Blood From the Eyes.
That certain lizards have the power
to emit a stream Of blood from their
eyes has been tradition of the south
west from time out of mind, but many
scientists have classed it with the jew
Ell in the tOad's head and the hoop
snake. Raymond Lee Ditmars, curator
Of reptiles in the New York Geological
society, made exhaustive research to
ascertain what foundation in fact, II
any, there is in the tradition of the
blood spouting lizards. He had nearly
made up his mind that it was purely
mythical when he came upon a star
thing demonstration of it's truth. He
had received particularly fine speci-
men of the Mexican horned lizard and
after photographing it proceeded to
measure it. The result he tells in his
Reptile Book"
"The latter process" he says, seem
ed to greatly excite the creature. It
finally threw the head slightly up
ward, the neck became rigid, the eyes
bulged from the sockets, when there
was a distinct sound like that pro-
'duced If one pressed the tongue
against the roof of the mouth : and
forced small quantity Of air forward.
This rasping sound, consuming but the
fraction of a second, was accompanied
by jet of blood at great pressure.
1T hit the wall four feet away at
the same level as that Of the reptile.
The duration Of the flow Of blood ap-
peared to be about one and a half
seconds, and toward Its termination
the force gradually diminished, as
noted by course Of drops down the
wall and along. the floor to position
almost under the spot where the rep
tile had been held. The stream Of
blood seemed to be as fine as horse
hair and to issue from the eyelid,
which was momentarily much swollen.

Of his hands was dashed at either side.

by the beadle or crier in uniform for

was sometimes reduced to farce

Cowper, she was ordered to be whip

the carts tail, from the stone house to

seemed to show great fortitude, but II
was all an imposition upon the public.
The beadle who performed 1t had filled
his left hand with red ocher, through
which after every stroke he drew the
lash of his whip, leaving the appear

reality not hurting him at all. This
being perceived by Constable Hinsch-
comb, who followed the beadle, he
applied his cane without any such
management or precaution to the
shoulders of the too merciful execu-
toner.
The scene Immediately became more
interesting. The beadle could by no
means be prevailed upon to strike
hard, which provoked the constable to
strike harder, and this double f1ogging
