who is that?" asked the visitor.
Yourself" said the philosopher. 'It
is fact that If people could be dupli-
Gated and could meet themselves in the
street very few would recognize them
selves. We look at ourselves many
times during the 3G5 days of the year.
We say our eyes are blue or brown or
whatever Other color they may be, our
hair black, our chin peaked, our fore
head high. We know every llneament
of our face from constant study and
attention, vet when we turn away
from the mirror we cannot coniure mn
picture of ourselves.
I'VE know just how our friends and
even acquaintances look. In fancy we
can see them sitting so or standing so,
and their varying expressions under
different circumstances are clear to us
even though we may not have seen
them for years, but when it comes to
ourselves we cannot fill in even the
outlines Of the picture We may laugh,
we may cry, we may frown, but we do
not know how we look while we are
doing 1t. Photographs do not help us.
We have never seen ourselves In the
flesh. Mirrors and pictures are poor
aids when we sit down and try to see
ourselves with the minds eve.
"That is why people are so deeply
interested in anybody who is said to
resemble them. Just say to a man,
I know somebody who is the dead i'm
age of you,' and he will never rest till
he sees that person. Then if the like
ness is really true he will own that
up to that time he had had no concep-
tion of how he really looked"
The visitor smiled wanly.

she said. 'sIt makes me feel positively
uncanny."-New York Press.

thread, and this heating chamber is
incased in asbestos. Full current
may be turned on at once without
injury, giving maximum heat in one
minute instead of the usual 10 or 15
minutes.
The odors of metals-long neglected
and often stated to have no existence
ARE shown by the remarkable expert
ments of c. Gruhn, of Berlin, to be
due to something different from
voiatilized metal, and it is inferred
that these and other ordors are
analogous to radioactive phenomena.
Copper, aluminium, tin, zinc, lead,
iron. etc., have a faint smell at
ordinary temperatures. This is not
affected by cleanness or oxidization,
but on heating to 100 degrees or 120
degrees f. the odor becomes at first
much stronger, gradually diminish
ing. Alter the metal is cooled two or
three hours, heating again produces
the same effect. The experiments
seem to prove that the odor is due to
transformation product from the
atoms of the metal, and that the cold
metal stores this emanation to the
point of saturation and gives 1t off on
heating. Some of the odorous matter
has been separated and isolated in n
vessel-just as radium emanation has
been Isolated.
VibratOry massage is applied to the
treatment of catarrhal deafness by
means of new apparatus resembling

and quite surprising results are
claimed. For good hearing it is
necessary that;vibrations be transmit
ed freely from the ear-drum through
chain cf little bones or ossicles.
In catarrhal deafness the bones are
stiIfened by mucus, and the new
apparatus transmits the vibrations in
spite. of the stittenIng, both giving
present hearing and tending to restore
normal action. Little diaphragmsi
acted on by electromagnetic transmit
the wave motion to the ear.

LAWS IN CHINA.

They Take No Account of the Inten-
tiOns of the Accused.
The incompatibility of laws based
on diverse civilizations is nowhere
more marked than in China, says Ho-
sea B. Morse in the Atlantic. There
no bankruptcy law is possible. If a
debtors own estate will not suffice to
pay his debts the deficiency must be
made good by his father, brothers or
uncles; if a debtor absconds his i'm
mediate family are promptly imprison-
ed; if the debtor returns he is put in
prison and kept there indefinitely, so
long as he can find money for his
daily food until released by payment
in full or by death. This is the law.
When in 1895 Admiral Ting found
himself forced to surrender Weihaiwei
and his feet, he committed suicide.
By this courageous step, technically
dying before surrender, he saved his
Immediate family-father, mother, sons
and daughters decapitation and
their property from confiscation, the
penalty when commander surrenders
an imperial fortress. This is the law.
When in the old days an English
gunner caused the death of Chinese
by firing salute from cannon from
which by oversight the ball had not
been removed, he was seized, tried
and executed. And in 1889, when In
the course of disturbance with Eng
lish and American sailors at Canton a
Chinese was killed, the authorities de-
manded that if the guilty person could
not be detected and executed the
whole party should be handed over
for execution. This is the law.

count. A dollar for a dollar, an eye
for an eye, life for a life, and alls
for the emperor and his representa-
tives-this is the law of China.

How Poll Tax Counts Up.

Where poll tax is not paid by
party owning real estate it constitutes
lien on the property until paid, and
should the property be sold by the
one who owes the poll tax the pur-
chaser must pay the tax in order to
have clear title. Our attention was
called to case OF this kind this
week. A certain man. in 1894, tailed
to pay his poll tax. In June, 1895,
the property was sold to the State for
this reason. The man subsequently
sold the property to another and the
purchaser has now discovered there is
State claim against it for $1,000.
Redemption was made this week.
This is the way it counted up when
the poll tax OF 81 was not paid: De-
linquent poll tax, 81, interest strom
1895 to 1907. S4 60; penalty on re-
demption, 81; total, $1,000. It's best
to pay up promptly. Exchange

! Governor Glllett has vetoed senate
bill No. 427, for two material reasons,
the first being the phraseology of the
bill is defective in that 1t omits any
verb in its first section and the
second is, that a portion of the pro-
posed State highway which it provides
for is largely imaginative and would
cost the State an immense sum to
complete ami would prove but little
if any benefit to the State at large.
The bill provides that the road rum
ing from Pine Grove in Amedor
county through Hope Valley, to con-
meet at the Osgood place in Ei Dorado
county, with the Lake Tahoe road
and via Marklevi1le in Alpine county.
the Sonora and Mono road be declar-
ed a State highway. The first section
of the measure that is objected to by
the governor is simply descriptive
and does not declare that the present
road shall be made State highway
or anything else. The measure was

for every trustee and patron in

words of this man who is so full
of educational enthusiasm and
who is making such an untiring
