angen: a THE DAILY TRANSCRIPT, NEVADA CITY, CAL., SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1889. . The Buily Transcript . "abled Daily (Mondays excepted) t by —BROWN & CALKINS-— . OFFICE: f No. 82 Commercial street, Nevada City, Cal. . PROPOSED AMENDMENTS. — As the question involved in the con. stitutional amendments to be voted on at the special election of April 12th are. not championed by any political party, . and will not be discussed before the . people as political questions usually . are,it seems eminently proper that . the press of the State should fairly . thus assist the voter to properly comprehend the supposed evils the amend. ments-are-caleulated-to-remedy. consider tlre questions involved =. . } Since the adoption of the constitu. tion of 1879, the business in the Su-. preme Court has so rapidly increased . in volume that the seven Judges—of that Court were utterly unable to! keep up with the work. Two years . ago the Legislature of the State cre-. _ated a Supreme Court Commission to assist the Supreme Court. The de-} cisions of the Commissioners had to . be submitted to the Court for review . before they became judgments. The . result in practice has been thatthe . . Supreme Court has not been relieved -if not utter ruin pot came there with a young wife. "He was too lazy to work and lacked . to the extent that was intended or ex. pected. Although the Commissioners have done good work, still a review of their decisions by the Court has . necessarily consumed «considerable . time, and the Court is today nearly as far behind with its work as when the . Commissioners were appointed. One . of the changes proposed by the amendments is to give to the judgments. or. decisions of the Commissioners the . same. effect as a judgment of a department of the Supreme Court, thus -re-. lieving the Court of the great labor of . reviewing the decisions of the Commissioners. { i . And there seems to be ng good . son why this should not be done.) The Commissioners as at present con. stituted, are able jurists, and their ‘judgments are entitled to and should . be received as judgments of the Su. preme Court. “This will greatly facili. tate the transaction of businessin the . Supreme Court and in the end prove, of much benefit to litigants. At pres-. ent the Supreme Court is more than one year behind in its work, and it is. frequently ruinous to litigants to be . obliged to wait a year or more for a} decision of the cases in that Court. Again, while the Court remains:so far . . behind, unsuccessful litigants frequent. ly appeal to the Supreme Court for no other reason than to delay the oppo site party, and this delay of itself . often works very great hardship ty the financial ser vinterests of the successful .party. "Tt is of inéstimable value to the whole people that all litigation, whether civil or criminal, should be speedily terminated, thus affording protection against the many evils which inevitably flow from protracted legal contests. This amendment seems to be, and certainly is, in the interest of the people, and will to a considerable ex. tent, if not entir.ly, remedy many causes of complaint now existing relative to business in the Supreme Court. It should receive the undivided and hearty support of the voters at the polls. We will hereafter speak of the other prominent features of saad proposed amendments. j LATEST TELEGRAPHIC NEWS . . 1 A widow named Epperson attempt. ed suicide near Chico on Tuesday. -Twelve miners at Bessemer, Mich., were burned-to death ina boarding house on Tuesday night.

COVERY IN GEORGIA, Ingenious Contrivance for Detocting Fire . Damp=—Telescopic Photography Provides Amusement for Amateurs and a New Method for Practical Purposes. A new method of amusement for the numerous and increasing class of amateur pho. tographers is provided in telescopic photography, which is also susceptible of employment for many practical purposes. The first . of thé accompanying cuts, taken from La Nature, shows the arrangement of a teleno camera, , TELESCOPE AND CAMERA. Though the clearness of the view obtained . will be affected by the quality of lenses employed, a common spygiass will answer well, . This is adjusted to the proper focus, and attached either with strips of cloth or paper ‘ér ~with a brass screw-joint, to the objective of _thecamera. By drawing out the camera the photograph is made larger, but the inc? eased size is obtained at a sacrifice of clearness and sharpness of definition. With a very supe. rior instrument the camera lenses may even be dispensed with, and satisfactory_ results obtained by focusing the view upon the plate with the telescope aione. This method of photography has much . practical value. Through it the details of mountain peaks and inaccessiblo objects can be, as it were, brought near to ore and fixed . More satisfac. upon the photographic plate. tory pictures of the earth’s surface than those hitherto obtained, can be taken by aeronauts from their balloons; in military and naval operations the movements of the enemy can be photographed.

Significance of Tattooing. According to a recent report of the Vienna Anthropological society, Dr:-M, Halberlandt does not believe that tattooing was at first intended merely as an ornament. He attributes it to a religious significance, the figures described on the skin having some reference to the totemic or ancestral. god of . theclan, and serving asa protection to tho wearer. In latter days, when this meaning had faded, the fi:;ure became a mere style of Personal decoration. Dr. Halberlandt draws . a distinction Let ween tattooing, inewhich the figures are delineated by inserting a fire pointed instrument* repeatedly into the skin, and what he calls, from an Australian word, the manka, in which process the lines are scratched or cut, and the coloring matter rubbed in. This distinction he maintains as important as an ethnological criterion. Archmological Discovery. Mr. J.W. Walker is credited-with—having . discovered, on the south side of Pine mouutain, Georgia, nearly 200 feet above the famous Corundum mine, a site where the ancient inhabitants of that region manufactured their tale vessels for cookiug. Undoubted evidences appear of the use of stone implements in the work. The vesscls were blocked out and hollowed before being broken from the ledge. Many of the remaining fragments are honeycombed by exposure. Similar .phenomena are familiar elsewhere to archaeologists, in instance of which may be cited quarries in southern California, also several sites in the District of Columbia. Detection of Fire Damp™in Mines. Most of the ingenious contrivances that have been introduced from time to time for the prompt d:te-tion of fire damp in mines have been of a somewhat complicated nature. The latest of these brougbt to notice, however, is described as so simple in principle and construction as to excite wonder: at-its not having been thought of before. An India . rubber ball, with a hole in it, is squeezed flat in the hand and held in the place suspected of fire damp while released, and allowed to suck the ball is then di squeezed, when the telltale blue flame shows if it contains any inflammable vapor. Stopping the Action of the Heart. Physicians and others interested in such matters, will doubtless remember the case’ of the late Dr. Groux, of Brooklyn, who claimed to-have the power of stopping the action of the heartat pleasure. And now Dr. Lydston, of Chicago, in a note to. The American Practitioner and News, asserts that he possesses the same power, and that he has demonstrated it to members of the medical profession. Gases from Indigested Food. In a recent number of Science reference was made to a reinarkable case in which the . breath of an individual, or rather, the eructa. tions from his stomach took fire when brought . in contact with a lighted match. This case, which was reported in The Medical Ree ord . has called forth communications from physicians that make it appear the phenomenon is not so rare as was at first supposed. ease of disordered digestion -the patient emitted inflammable gas from the mouth, which, upon analysis, was found to be largely composed of marsh gas. In another case the gas was sulphuretted hydrogen. A case_is reported in The British Medical Journal, in which, while blowing out a match, the patient’s breath caught fire with a noise like the report of a pistol, which was loud enough to.awaken his wife. One evening, while a confirmed dyspeptic was lighting his pipe, an eructation of gas from his stomach occurred, and the ignited gas burned bis mustache and lips. In Ewald’s book on indigestion the analysis of the gas iui one of these cases was, carbonic acid, 0.57; hydrogen, 20.57; carburetted hy. drogen, 10.73; oxygen, 6.72; nitrogen, 41.38; sulphuretted hydrogen, a trace. Tho origin ‘of these gases is undoubtedly the undigested food, which in these cases undergoes decompata GRAF FiTLS Race Stadiecsilen. Billezss im, LS iver Com: > BY DRUGUISTS. In one .
