MANY IMPORTANT ISSUES

Albany, N. Y.-Weighty problems
face the Constitutional convention
which convened here Tuesday noon.
Twenty-one years have elapsed since

Chief among the issues which

judiciary, conservation of natural re-
sources, simplification of the election
system, reduction of the number Of
elective state offlcials-short ballot.
Equal suffrage, regardless of what
action the convention takes, will
come before the voters next fall at
the regular election.
Within six weeks after adjourn
ment of the convention the changes
must be submitted TO vote of the

ton, having elected 116 of the 168

Preventing Premature BuriaIs.

The fear Of being buried alive al
ways has been, and is, so widespread
that the French Academy of Science
some years ago offered a prize equal
to $500 for the discovery of some
means by which even the inexperi-
enced might at once determine wheth-
er, in given case, death had ensued
or not. A physician obtained the
prize. He had observed the following
well-known signs: If the hand of the
suspected dead person is held towards
a candle or other artificial light with
the fingers extended and one touching
the other, and one looks through the
spaces between the fingers towards
the light, there appears a scarlet red
color where the fingers touch each
other, due to the blood still circulat-
ing; it shows itself through the It's
sues which have not yet congested
When life is entirely extinct, the phe-
nomenon of scarlet spaces between
the fingers at once ceases. The most
extensive and thorough trials estab-
lished the truth of his observation.
