Important Court Decision.

An interesting point In newspaper
law has been decided by Judge Welch
c. the California Supreme Court. The
Palo Alto Tribune was established as
a weekly paper about two year and
a half ago, and a few months ago
was changed from a weekly to a daily
publication. 1t then submitted a bid
for the. city printing of Palo Alto.
when the objection was raised by
some of it's competitors that it had
not been published for one e as
required by law. The proprietors
then petitioned the Superior Court
for a decree. In his decision Judge
WEIGH finds that changing the paper
from a weekly to a daily does not
change its identity, and that onse-
quently the Tribune has, been pub
lished Tor more than one year.

ABE LEE AT LEADVILLE,
Led the First Successful Party in CAL
ifOrnia Gulch.

AAOAAAA0 O0ANAAs
when the history of Leadville is
written" said Max Boehmer, of Dem
yer, in talking Of the early mining
development of the district to-day,
there should be no mistake as to
who actually made the first discovery
Of gold in California Gulch. The man
was Abe Lee, who died in Park Coun-
ty a few years ago. He was one of
the best known characters in this
section. He was the first Recorder OF
Lake County.
THE first prospecting party that
entered the gulch was under the lead.
ership of Abe, and they had not been
very successful. They worked all the
way up the gulch from below Granite
without finding any values, and all of
them were nearly blinded by the
snow. They were about ready to quit
when Lee suggested that they try an
other pan. He dug down until he
struck a layer OF cement, and below
this the gravel was softer. Lee, al
though suffering terribly from snow
blindness, managed to pan the gravel,
and the result was such that they at
once recovered confidence. He
worked the gulch for a long time and
made plenty of money.
THE question has also been
asked" continued Mr.. Boehmer,
where did the millions of dollars
taken out of the California gulch pla.
GERS in early days go?
If I remember rightly, no one
made a very large pile, but there
were scores Of men who left the gulc1
with $4,000 or $4,000 and wen1
back East to establish themselves il
business or to buy farms. AS a rule
they were sober, Industrious men, an6
the fortunes they made in the gulcl
gave them a competence which en-
abled them to prosper. in their under
takfngs in other parts of the coun

A French chemist has invented a
tablet which, il dissolved in a glass
Of water, will give OFF as much oxygen
to clarity the air in a room as though
a window had been left open for an
hour.
The electric furnace is capable of
attaining a heat Of 1900 degrees.
This is a fearful temperature and will
melt almost everything solid known
to man. In comparison with this
heat, a redhot iron bar would be
called cold.
Motorists who suffer with cold
hands while driving their cars may
have relief by using q steering wheel
provided with electric heat. An Eng

wheel with a cor that carries two
electrically heated coils insulated one
from the other and from the outer
rim.
Under the new laws in effect in
New York State, there are oculists,
opticians and optometrists. The op-
tician seems to have lost Importance,
as the optometristsi is one who ascer-
tains and prescribes the character Of
the lens. The technical optician sim
ply grinds the lens in accordance with
directions from the /optometrist and
manufactures spectacles and eye
glasses. The oculist is a surgeon who
treats the diseases Of the eye.
According to the Investigations of
DR.. Deniker, we'll known for his an
tropologic studies, the influences of
city life tend toward a decrease of
human stature. 1t is away from the
large cities that the beneficent effects
of the general amelioration Of social
conditions and improvements in n.y.
giene of modern times most clearly
manifest themselves by distinct in
crease Of stature. This increase has
been marked among several of the
European races during the last half
century. When the people are sub
jected to urban influences the gain

A wonderful instrument Is that
which has recently been invented fol-
| the purpose Of measuring the sense
of touch. The device consists of q
series of little disks, suspended by
fine, delicate thread from wooden
handles, the last being stuck into
holes around a block. The lightest
disk is taken out and brought into
| contact with the skin of the subject
the latter having closed his eyes. Il
nothing is felt, a heavier disk is EN-.
ployed, and SO on until the pressure
becomes noticeable. Through the
medium of these disks it has beer
found that the sense of touch is acute

of a disk weighing three hundredth.
