 But for the wisdom of George Wash ington and Benjamin Franklin Eng land would have ceded Canada to us a, the close of the Revolutionary war. Washington and Franklin knew that if Canada had been ceded to the colo nies France, from which Canada haC been wrested some twenty years ear Her, would have demanded that coun try as indemnity for the expense she was put to in the war for our inde- pendence. With the French flag re stored in Canada it would have beer a matter of very short time when Vt would have been at war with France and to save us from defeat there is nothing more certain than that we would have appealed to England. Tn, aid would have come. and come swif and irresistible, and the chances are we would have returned to our ale glance to the crown of England, for it was years between the treaty of peace and the formation of the Union, plenty of time to get into a quarrel with France over some dispute as to bound ary or fishing Washington Post.

Why Gold Is a Precious Metal,

Pure or fine gold will stand any test it may be put to in comparison with other metals. It can be rolled or ham mered. extending it in any direction. until it becomes transparent. It can also be drawn into a thread as fine as human hair: It melts at about 2OOO degrees F., and, though it may be kept in a molten state for an indefinite time. it loses none of its weight, even should the heat be increased. The col or is unaffected by air, water or heat and will stand any test of oxidation.
 No simple acid will dissolve or attack pure gold. In conjunction with silver gold is the first metal with which man became acquainted and is the most valuable by reason of the vast number of uses to which it is put. It is found in almost every country in metallic state and nearly always in crystals. The old Egyptian. symbol for gold sig

Pottery Work In China.

The Chinese are pioneers in the art of pottery, the rapidity with which they construct pots being marvellous One man will mold two ten-inch pots in three minutes. The potter's wheel is the essential part of the equipment The workman's left hand is gently thrust into the center of the clay while his right hand is slightly press ing on the outside to keep the whole together. but it is from the inside that most of the shaping is done. Mean while the wheel" is made to turn more quickly.s Then. by keeping both hands opposite each otherl. c., one inside and one outside-together mov- ing slowly up from the wheel. pressure by both hands is exerted. and the shapeiess mass of clay assumes the shape of pot with astonishing rapid ity. A thin piece of wood is used to flatten the rim. and usually the same piece is used to measure the pot to see if 1t is the correct size.

LIGHTS OPINION

Hartford. April 14-An opinion by ! Attorney General Light asked for by Senator shanley of New Haven, as to whether city court and police court tndgeships continue longer than the tvo years limitation set by the con- stfoutfou-the request being made be- cause the charter of the city Of New Haven would provide that the judge of that court would continue until his successor Is qualif1ed-is to the effect that judges are appointed for two wears only. The effect of this opin- ien as applied to the New Haven city court is that Judge Mathewson's com- .rrisfon expired on April 1.
 If is legally explained that there are three kinds of judge: De jure, de facto and Irsurperg. There is no such off lcer as a hold-over judge. The de- <acto judge can be reached only by quo warranto. The usurper is fudge appointed by the Governor to fTu a vacancy The fifth article of the constitution provides that judges of inferior courts shall be appointed by the General Assembly.
 The opinion does not affect Judge iTyner whose commission is dated Hume 2oth
 Text of Opinion.
 The text Of the Attorney General s opinion follows:
 You ask my opinion as to whether judges of city courts and police courts hold their office after the expiration of their term until their successors are duty elected and qualified.
 Article 20 of Amendments to the Constitution provides that judges of ritv courts and police courts shall be appointed for terms of two years
 There is no provision in the con- stitution authorizing judges to hold office until their successors are duly elected and qualified as there Is in re- rard to the office of Governor and other executive officers. and the ab- 'eence of such a provision clearly in dicates that the makers of the con- stitution intended that the term of office of a judge should end at the expfration of his term. There is no Necessity for holding over for the law makes ample provision for calling in another judge in case of disqualified tion or vacancy
 ssThe terms of office of all of our Judges are fixed by the constitution. therefore, where the Legislature has required them to continue to dis charge the duties of their office until ff1eir successors are duty elected and qualified 1t has thereby added an ad- dstional. contingent, and defeasible term to the original fixed term of each fudge and such legislation is uncon- stitutional.
 .The constitution must be inter- yreted by the language in which it is written and the Legislature has no more right to add provisions to what h 4h1yin declared h definite lan-

guage than it has to disregard any of It's express provisions.
 "In case of an office created by the Legislature, 1t Is competent for the Legislature to provide that the incum- bent shall hold office until his suc- cessor is duly elected and qualified, but where the term is fixed by the constitution the Legislature has no authority to extend, diminish, or add a contingent term thereto I am of the opinion therefore that judges of city courts and police courts do Tot hold their office after the expiration of their term until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
