was opposed to Stephenson. said he had
been asked to remove his opposition but
he declared nc bride offer had been
made He was not one of the three
democratic absentees. The deadlock OF

to the pending legislative investigation
of Stephenson's 100000 expenditure at
the primaries

ahsentees. testified he was eating dinner

Leonardo da Vinci's Writings.

From the London Chronicle.
Although Leonardo da Vinci was
voluminous writer, he never published
single line during his lifetime Only with
I'm the last thirty years have his writ
ings been made known to the world.
After the masters death in France his
manuscripts We're brought back to Italy.
His heirs proved unworthy, and the pre-
cious writings were gradually dispersed
Loose pages were often detached, and
were either given away as relics or stolen
No attempt was made to publish any of
his treatiSes, except that on painting
for more than 300 years after his death
This was partly owing to the great diff
ficulty of deciphering his handwriting
Da Vinci was left-handed. and always
wrote in oriental fashion from right to
left. Besides this. his photography Is Pc
culiar to himself: he abbreviates some
words. and joins others together. and en-
ploys neither stops nor accents.
