STEAM ON THE HIGHWAYS—TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS REWARD. The State of Wisconsin has taken a very practical initia tive in the important matter of promoting the use of steam power on the highways by offeringa reward of ten thousand dollars to the inventor of any successful machine to be test ed as stated below. This reward appears to be intended simply as a token of the importance of the matter to the State—a sort of recog nition merely of the great benefit that the discoverer will be stow upon Wisconsin to say nothing of the advantages he will confer upon the world in general. We subjoin the text of the law which is now in vogue having been passed at the last session of the Legislature. We may add that it is to the efforts of Mr. G. M. Marshall of Big Spring Wis. a member of the Legislature that the passage of the law is due. Mr. Marshall is a most enter prising intelligent and practical man and we could wish that many more of such gentlemen were chosen to represent the people in our various State legislatures. There is un to be gained by the adaptation of steam to highway traffic and we commend the subject to the serious study of our in ventive readers. machine are not required to surrender any of their rights in all the States of the Union and in fact in all foreign States. The following is the text of the law : GALTON'S NEW THEORY OF HEREDITY. Next to the origin of life and of far greater practical im portance the question of heredity is preeminently the great biological question of the day. How is it that in the higher orders of plants and animals the offspring resembles not only the parent but often and in a more remarkable degree some remoter ancestor ? How are characteristics of figure temperament mental and moral traits etc.carried over from generation to generation? More mysteriously how are the peculiarities of the grandparent transmitted to the grand child skipping the intermediate link ? And how do acquired traits become hereditary ? Like the author of pan
