Senator Washburn still has faith in his
ability to work his anti-option bill through
congress, an l says it will he again intro
duced at the next session. It is a pity there
is not a way to convince men like Seuator
Washburn that the people know what they
want.
Mrs. Eli Potter announces her candidacy
for mayor of Kansas City, Kan. Had she
lived on the other side of the river, iu Kan
sas City, Mo., her candidacy would have
been a farce, but on tho Kansas side she
stands a good chance of living up to her
name by ’’getting there.”
A western contemporary is so unkind as
to remark, anent the anti-editor rumor of
a few days ago. that President Cleveland
did EOt violate that rule when be took Mr.
Smith into his cabinet; that Mr. Smith was
••edited,” and not "editor.” At any rate,
be is in a position to wield a big blue penoll
now. ________
An eecentrio and wealthy old widow
living at Millington, Maas., has driven a
bargain with her coachman whereby, for
a consideration, be is to change his name to
that of her deceased husband and then
marry her. One hundred thousand dollars
is the prloe the lady has agreed to pay to
have her whim humored.
If It should turn out to be true that Mr.
Cleveland has given it to be understood that
he will recognize no New Jersey man who
assisted in the passage of the "race track
bills” in his distribution of patronage, the
country would applaud. The New Jersey
racing bills are looked upon all over the
country as pieces of corrupt and iniquitous
legislation.
The “Democratic Influence Club," of New
York city, has expelled from its member
chip and deposed from its presidency, Mrs.
Mary F. Ormiby, its founder. By the way,
it la believed that Mrs. Ormsby repudiated
the olub some time ago. The quarrel among
tbe lady politicians constituting the olub
has been one of the comedy specialties of
the period.
Those colored lynchers in Mississippi only
followed the example set for them by the
whites. In view of the fact that white
lynchers invariably escape punishment, it
would seem to be unjust to punish them.
A precedent in the punishment of lynohers
is badly needed, but it would probably do
more harm than good to make a precedent
of black lynchers.
Boston authorities believe that the big
fire ia that city a few days ago was of in
cendiary origin, and have clews which
may lead to the arrest of persons suspected.
Several deaths, it will be remembered, re
sulted from the fire, which would put the
incendiary, should he be discovered, in a
very unenviable position. In certain states
incendiarism, or arson, is a capital offense:
and, indeed, it seems that nothing short of
capital punishment would fit such a crime
as tbe deliberate starting of such a fire as
that was in Boston.
A novel convention is that of the National
Barbers’ Association, which began a*. Pitts
burg on Monday and will end to-day. The
knights of the razor and shears have man
aged to formulate about as many rules re
garding apprentices and hours of labor as
any organization extant, which rules the
convention was called to revise. The jour
neymen barbers are in favor of Sunday
closing, which will aloo lie acted upon by
the c invention. The advisability of striking
under certain circumstances, and leaving
mankind to the tender morcies of their
t.earns, is auotber question the delegates
will consider.
An Unfortunate Selection.
By the reorganization of the committees
of the Senate Senator Vooraees has become
the chairman of the finance committee,
j This is unfortunate. Mr. Yoorhees is in
favor of the free coinage of silver, and
against the repeal of the She man Silver
purchase act. He is not a .und financier,
j He has been described as “the incarnation
1 of nnsoundneas on all matters connected
with the currency.”
He would Dot have been given the chair
manship of the finance committee had it
rot been for the usages of the Senate. He
was next in line of promotion, and ‘’sena
torial courtesy” required that he should be
placed r.t the head of it. It is understood
that s ijoritvofthe committee is in bar
men him on the silver question.
Mr, iorhees is not in accord with his
partv on the silver issue. The Chicago
platform calls the Sherman silver purchase
act “a cowardly makeshift'’ and calls for its
repeal. Mr. Yoorhees can be depended upon to
use his influence and the power of his posi
tion to prevent its repeal unless free silver
coinage is substituted for it.
No one can predict with any degree of
certainty what the Fifty-third congress will
do with regard to silver, hut it is absolutely
certain that if it should pass a free silver
coinage bill the President would veto it.
He is against free silver coinage, because he
believes it would cause gold and silver to
part company. Ke believes in a sound cur
rency, and wil] do all he can to save the
country from the evils of a debased cur
rency.
In his inaugural aidress he said: “Mani
festly nothing is more vital to our suprem
acy as a nation and to the beneficent pur
poses of our government than a sound and
stable currency. Its exposure to degrada
tion should at once arouse to activity the
most enlightened statesmanship; and tbe
danger of depreciation in the purchasing
power of the wages paid to toil should fur
nish the incentive to prompt and conserva
tive precaution. In dealing with our pres
ent eml arrassing situation, as related to
this subject, we will bo wise if we temper
cur confidence and faith in our national
strength and resources with the frank con
cession that even these will not permit us
to defy with impunity the tnexorablo laws
of finance and trade.”
Tbe President cannot force congress to
repeal the silver purchase act, but it is
pretty certain that be can prevent a free
silver coinage act from becoming
a law. What congress will do in the mat
ter of silver is Involved in doubt, but it will
have to do something. The silver dollar
cannot lie kept at par very much longer if
the government continues to purchase tbe
amount of silver required by the silver
purchase act.
Mr. Cleveland and the Office-seekers.
Washington dispatches indicate that
Mr. Cleveland and tbe members of bis
cabinet are inclined to complain because
the office-seekers seem to think tbe adminis
tration has nothing to do but distribute the
offleos. The demand for places under this
administration, however,is not greater than
it was tinder previous administrations.
There are offices to be filled, and it is but
natural that there should be applications
for them, and that the applicants
should use their utmost endeavors
to get what they want. No doubt
many of the applicants do not deserve any
recognition from their party, aud more of
them have no special fitness for the places
for which they apply.
But in view of the fact that the adminis
tration makes no effort to find out from tbe
people who are the best qualified for col
lectors, postmasters, marshals and district
attorneys in their' respective communities,
or who should represent the government as
ministers and consuls ia foreign counties, it
is to be expected that there will be a crowd
of applicants, and that men of neither merit
nor modesty will get some of the good
places in tbe President’s gift.
If there were some rule for selecting meu
for tbe offices tbe administration would not
be annoyed so greatly as it ii, and the
chances are that it would get a uiuoh better
class of men to serve it than it does now.
Modest men of real merit keep away from
Washington because they caunot get their
own consent to beg senators and repre
sentatives for their influence in the effort to
get offices.
if the President, for instance, should de
sire to have a capable man, and at the same
time one who would be satisfactory to the
community, for collector of this port, or
postmaster of this city, would it not be an
easy matter for him to ask the cotton ex
change, the board of trade and a number of
business men not connected with those in
stitutions to send him the names of half a
dozen or more men who have rendered the
party good service and are at the same
time capable and popular, from amo:ig
whom to make selections for
the offices in question! In that way he
would be pretty certain to get bold of the
men who ought to have tbe offices, and
whose appointment would come nearer giv
ing satisfaction than appointments made in
any other way.
There is no reason in complaining of the
orowds of office-seekers at Washington as
long as it is understood that those who
make no effort to get offices stand no chance
of getting them. The appointmeuts ore
made from ainoDg those who make appli
cation. As long as that is the case it is to
be expected that those who want of
fices will apply for them and will use all
tbe means iu their power to get them.
Some of the Washington correspondents
appear disposed to laugh at the ex
pense of the President’s private secretary.
It seems that he is a young man of peculiar
disposition, more disposed to regard his
work as of great importance than to regard
the making of friends as of prime con
sideration. He, furthermore, wears red
morocoo slippers with “spats” on them,
w hich does not fit in with some of the cor
respondents’ ideas of what Jeffersonian
simplicity should be. And he has an idea
that newspaper uien are always after news,
wherever they go, which is found to be ob
jectionable to certain men of the press.
Otherwise Mr. Thurber is said to be quite a
clever follow.
An Ohio woman, living in the rural dis
trict between Niles and Warren, feels that she
has been imposed upon not to say victim
ized—buncoed. A year ago the body of a
man was found hanging by the neck to a
tree in the woods. She identified it as the
! remains of her husband, who had been
missing for a few days, and wept over it
; and gave it decent burial at her own ex
pense. Furthermore, she bought and wore
j weeds, with becoming show of sorrow, until
a few days ago when she received word
that her husband was alive and well in
Pennsylvania. Then she got good and mad
about the mean imposition that she had
helped to be practiced upon herself.
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1893.
Mills Coming South.
During the next four years there will be
seen a marvelous change in the material
condition of the southern state*. Thes.uta
is tbe natural field for cotton mills aud tee
day is not distant wne.i the bulk of the cot
ton produced in her fields will t,e manu
| factured within her limits. The number of
I cotton mills in tbe south has been steadily
; increasing for the last ten years, but ber ad
j vantages for n:anufactoring cotton goods
: nre omy beginning to be appreciated.
Among our dispatches yesterday was one
from Boston, in which it is stated that the
i representatives of ihe cotton mills at Chi
copee, Fa 1 itiver, Lowell and Taunton, at a
hearing before the labor committee of the
Massachusetts legislature, remonstrated
against tbe reduction of the hours of labor
cf the operatives of the mills to fifty-four
a week, on the ground that they
cannot now stand the competition of mills
in other states and England. The treasurer
of the Massachusetts mills at Lowell,
and the Wbittenton mills at Taunton, de
clared he was driven from the state, and
that be was forced to build mills In the
south in order to hold his export trade. He
pointed out that his goods can be made
more cheaply in the south cn the identical
machine he is using in bis Massachusetts
mills.
Tbe statement of this Massachusetts
manufacturer expresses in a marked degree
the feeling that prevails among the cotton
manufacturers of New England. They see
that the time is approaching when they
will tie compelled to transfer to the south
much of the capital they have invested in
cotton manufacturing in the north.
In cotton manufacturing the south is
gaining rapidly on the north. It will not
be long before English spinners will begin
to think of ereoting plants in the south for
the manufacture of ootton goods If they do
not do so they will find their export trade
slipping away from them, because the ad
vanteges iu the southern states for manu
facturing cotton goods are grsater than
anywhere else in the world.
The Moknino News has been saying for
years tbat tbe time would oome soon when
tbe south would be the greatest manufact
uring section of this country, and the indica
tions that she will be are steadily becoming
more apparent. Bhe has the raw material
for ootton factories and iron mills, and there
is no reason why her raw materials should
not be consumed at boms. The amount of
northern capital which has bees invested in
tbe south since the war of secession is small
in comparison with the amount that will be
invested before the end of this oentury.
May Week Celebration.
The sentiment in favor of a festival of
gome sort next May grows ont of tbe feeling
that once every year Savannah ought to do
something to entertain the people of this and
adjacent states who would like to visit her.
The festivals she has had in recent years have
not all been entirely satisfactory,and tbe rea
son that some do not give the movement for
a festival during the coming May a hearty
support, is that Savannah ought to otter
something a little more pretentious than she
is likely to do on so short a notice.
No doubt a very attractive programme
could be arranged between now and May 1,
provided the subscriptions were liberal, but
to do so would require very earnest aud in
telligent work.
In view of tbe fact that the, matter has
been put off to so late a data the suggestion
of Mr. Krouakoff, namely, that a.sum of
money sufficiently large to give alt who
want to oome to the city a free ride be sub
scribed, is well worth considering. To
many tree transportation would be more
acceptable than a festival, because they
want to come to the oity to make purchase*.
No doubt su arrangement could bs made
with the railroads tbat would bring a large
number of people here for the money a
festival would oost. It might be well to
fiud out just what sort of a bargain ouuld
be made with the railroads at once, so that
Mr. Krouikoff’s suggestion could be intel
ligently considered at the next meeting of
those who are In oharge of the festival
matter.
But whatever is decided upon for the
coming May steps should be taken without
unnecessary delay in behalf of a permanent
yearly celebration. If the proposed musical
festival oould be made a part of a perma
nent celebration there would be a certainty
of one great attraction. ~
As supplemental to the news item In the
Morning News dispatches a day or two
ago with regard to the treasury depart
ment’s declination to exchange notes for
gold until a deficiency in weight had tjeen
made up, the following is interesting: “A
short time ago a consignment of gold was
received at the treasury department from
Kan Franoisco. The gold came in beavv
canvas bags, and in au aggregate of
$250,000 of gold it was found tbat it was 0
cents light in weight. The cashier of the
treasury had to make good the deficiency of
0 cents, but the bags themselves were sent
to the assay office at Philadelphia, and, at
on expense of probably a hundred times the
amount of light weight, the bags were
burned, the gold being recovered from the
bags by a smelting prooet9 and returned to
the oashier, who in the end lost nothing.”
In private business a shortage so small
would not have been noticed. But Uncle
Kam demands absolute accuraoy.
Mr. Andrew Carnegie's experiment with
colored hands in his great mills in Pennsyl
vania will be watched with interest by the
people of tbe south. There is no doubt tbat
the oolored man, as a laborer, is superior to
the Slav, or any other foreigner. But how
are the white workmen about Mr. Carne
gie's mills going to take the innovation?
There are in the south numerous instances
of colored men holding important positions
in the line of mechanical endeavor. Col
ored firemen stoke tbe locomotives on at
least one railway line entering this oity, and
in South Carolina licensed colored marine
engineers on the large steamers are common.
But will tbe white mechanics of Pennsyl
vania permit colored men to work at lathes
and converters with them?
The titular Princess Kaiulani has met a
real princess, an unaffected aud sensible
American woman, in Mrs. Cleveland, and
has been charmed. “I think Mrs. Cleve
land is the most charming woman I bare
met in this country," says Kaiulani. ” She
is not a bit stiff or formal, but received me
as though I were an old friend. She made
me feel at home at once. I am not sur
prised that she has so many entbualasiio ad
mirers. She i* perfectly charming.” It
would be interesting to know if Kaiulani,
restored to royalty, would be go graoious to
an American woman visiting Honolulu.
Oscar Johnson, the Charleston, Augusta

Doctor of Sciences from Vanderbilt University.
He was a student in tnat institution before go

A Louikvile girl, who plays on the cornet, is
said to have discovered that performers on
wind Instruments general, y develop dimples in
their cheeks, caused probably by tne frequent
strain on the facial muscles, which are brought
into play by the act of blowing. The clarionet,
the flute, the oornet and the trombone are all
said to be excellent factors in producing this
little indentation, so often vainly coveted by
artificial means.
Justice Lamar was fond of children. One
day last summer he was seen to stop and take a
hand at marDles with an unebtn. Another time
he playfully took a little boy's straw hat off his
head and walked on with it. In a moment his
mind had gone on one of those flights of intro
version for which the justice was famous, aud
he had walked several blocks before he noticed
tbat he had been committing petit laroeny. He
retraced his steps to restore tbe hat, The lad
was coming along with a policeman. Explana

An English paper tells a story of a well
known bishop who suffers from impaired vision.
He recently held a levee. At length a guest ap-
Sroached and said; “How do you do, my lord*

you.” “Ah,” said the bishop, “that is very
good of her. And how is the dear old soul ?
Nothing like a good old mother! Be sure to
take oare of your old mother flood morning.”
The bishop did not in the least know who bis
visitor was, and said to his footman, “Who wag
that?” The servant replied: ’’The last gentle

CURRENT COMMENT.
As to Circulation.
PVom the Baltimore American {Rep.).
The money in circulation in Cuba is $33 per
capita. In the United States it Is about $25. In
Central America it Is 84 cents. Central America
must lie a fine place to get up a campaign fund
for anew revolution.
Chairman of tho Senate Finance Com
mittee.
From the Philadelphia Ledger, March 14 (7nd.).
The elevation of Mr. Yoorhees instead of Mr.
McPherson to the chairmanship of the finance
committee of the Senate would be tbe most
serious of blunders, and, tnough it might be in
accordance with ’’(he usages of tbe Senate," it
would be in conflict with both democratic prin
ciple and public policy.
Result of Republican Extravagance.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer (Dem.).
The extravagance of ttiis last republican ad
ministration was a deep laid scheme, a job con
ceived and carried out with the purpose to wipe
out the surplus In order to get rid of the neces
sity ot reducing taxation to the needs of the
government economically administered. Tlie
democratic administration is the heir to this
condition of affairs, and it has a bereuleau task
lief ore it to maintain the credit of tbe govern
ment by meeting the extravagant obligations
incurred by the late republican administration.
A Wanamaker Decision Knocked Out.
JVo'fi the New York Tribune IRep.).
A sweeping decision in favor of tbe letter
carriers has been rendered by the United States
supreme court in its construction ot the o-hour
law u> Effecting tbat class of the government
emplo . es. The carriers appear to have won on
every point r gaming which they made a con
test, The court holds that the postoffice de
partment violated the intent and purpose of tlie
act In question, ami insisted on au undue
amount of labor from the carriers. Oi e effect
of the decision will be to increase the cost of
the carrier service; but the people generally
will rejoice in tbe relief afforded to a faithful
and hardworking class of men.

Hospitality in Arkansas.
Traveling in the mountains of Southeast
Arkansas a few years ago, says a writer in the
St. Louis Qlobe De-nveat, my, guide got lost.
Night overtook us, and we stopped at the house
of a typical Arkansan to remain all night. The
man made every excuse in the world, but it be
ing a sparsely settled neighborhood he consented
to keep us.
The family consisted of a father and mother
and twelve children. Thore were six grown
daughters—all fine, buxom, good looking girls,
averaging about 130 pounds each. There were
two rooms to the Loose, which was built ot
round logs. In fact there were two separate
houses, with about six feet space between tbem,
so that we had to go out doors from one to get
into the other One room was used as a sleep
ing apartment, the other as a kitchen. Our fare
consisted of corn bread, sorghum molasses and
coffee, no sugar or cream. My knife was broken
in two, and the fork had but one prong. I drank
my coffee from a tea cup, my gui ie from an
oyster can. and the landlord from the lid of a
little tin buctet.
In the sleeping apartment there were but
three beds, rad sixteen of us to use them. These
beds were constructed of upright pieces nailed
to the floor, with a piece of scantliug extending
from one to the other and small poles laid from
the scantling to the chinking of the cabin upon
which a straw tick was laid. These beds were
very narrow, so that it was difficult for two to
sleep comfortably. The beds were filled, and tbe
residue were scattered promiscuously over tbe
floor. The family went out while the strangers
prepared to retire. The old man slept uext to
our bed, with a revolver under his pillow and a
Winchester by his side. Somnambulism was
not indulged in that night by the visitors. The
room by actual measurement was 12x14. lm
agine sixteen people sleeping in a room that
size! The owls outside and the snoring inside
were enough to drive a nervous man crazy.
But soon we were all asleep and the troubles
of the day forgotten. I never enjoyed a night's
rest better No one of that family could read
or write, yet it was the happiest I ever saw.

An old and gray-hatred colored man had
asked me for a small Contribution to aid in fin
ishing off the belfry of his church building
down tbe street, says the Sioux City Journal ,
when a young man came along and stopped'
short and glared at him and demanded:
“Isyo'r name Ebeneezer Davis, sah?"
“Of co’se it ar ,” was the reply
“Dose yo’ pass do contributin' box de Fust
Cull’d Baptist church?"
“Ofco'se I does. What yo' drlvto’at boy*
Hain't we done knowed eaoh odder for ten
y’ars?"
“No. sah- no, sah! I hasn’t de honor of y'or
dlsquaintanoe. sah l"
"Yo’ hain't?”
“No, sah; but I desiah to repress a few fa-ts
upon y’or mind, san. I was et de church last
Sunday in company wid Miss Eveline Jack
son.”
“Yes, I seed yo’ boaf dar."
“Yo" was de pusson who passed de box on dat
occasion.”
"I was."
‘ Yo’ stopped Tongside o' me, sir. I hadn't
nuffin' smaller dan a quarter, but yo’ stood an'
stood an’ stood till eberbody In de mootin' house
was a-looktn' at me. In odaer words, sir, yo’
fo’ced me to drop in dat quarter.”
“Hu! I reckoned yo’ was showin’ off befo’ dat
gal.”
‘‘An’ now yo’ dlsremember my foregoln’ lan
guage,” continued the young man as he pointed
with his finger, "If I eber distort Mis Eveline to
yo’r church on a frequent occasbun an’ yo’ cum
around with dat contribushun box as yo’ did
befo' I shall feci justified in disportin' sich a
o’lamity as will perpetuate yo’r hostility for de
next fo’ weeks. Good day sah.”
He walked off down the street as stiff-legged
as a crowbar aud the old man watched him out
of sight and then turned and whispered:
‘ Fo’ de Lawd! but Fee ober 80 y’ars ole an’ I
neberdun seed sich transparency in a diligent
young man befo’!’’
In the New Jeruey Lejgislatura.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia Record
says that race track slang is prevalent in Tren
ton. "Has the bell rung yet?" is the query of
a statesman when be wants to know if the house
has been called to order. “What’s the row in
the stand?” is asked when there is a delay. The
pages speak of “weighing in" when they report
to the sergeant-at-arms, and when they are
tardy in doing an errand they say they “got
into a pocket” or “into the ruck.”
"Where is the assembly chamber?" asked a
mild old Quaker tbe other day of a page
• Any of dem gates to the right,” the boy re
plied.
Doors are gates at toe capitol this winter
"I* the House in session now?” inquired the
Quaiter.
"Naw, dey’se only sprinklin’ the track.”
’’What did thee say, my little man’”
’’Dey’se sprinklin’ the track. De bell won’t
ring for a bait bour yet.”
The Quaker "caught on" in a little while.
Little Things.
From the Jewish Messenger.
A good-by kiss is a little thing.
With your hand on the door to go.
But it takes the venom out of the sting
Of a thoughtless word or a cruel fling
That you made au hour ago.
A kiss of greeting is sweet and rare.
After the toils of the day.
But it smooths the furrows out of the care
And lines on tbe forehead you once called fair
In the years that have flown away. ’
’Tis a little thing to say, “You are kind,
I love you, my dear, ’ each uight;
But it sen is a thrill through the neart, I find
For love is tender as love is blind, ’
As we climb life's rugged bight.
We starve each other for love's caress,
Wa take, but do not give;
It seems so easy some soul to bless.
But we dole iovo grudgingly, less and less
Till 'tis bitter and hard to live.

This is bow to extinguish a candle without
blowing or snuffing it out: Take a piece of thick
copper wire coiled in a spiral at theend. Fasten
the other end to a wooden handle. Hold the
w-ire so that the coil will be around the flame of
tbe candle, and very quickly It will be extin
guished. The copper, bv its great conductivity,
takes tbe heat away from the flame and cools
It so rapidly that the temperature fal.s below
tbe point of ignition, and the light goes out.
A Dallas (Tex. > citizen was halted on the
streets of lata at night by two high
waymen, who demanded his watoti. The citi
zen declared that he had no watch, and forth
witn took to nls heels. The highwaymen chased
him several blocks, and at last, overtaking him,
they searched Mm. Finding that he really had
neither watch nor money, they proceeded to
kick him “We have nothing against you," one
of them exclaimed, ‘we are only kicking you
because you gave us a devil of a chase for noth
ing. If we had known that you were so hard
up, we'd have cheerfully loaned you a dollar."
The Independent calls attention to some lit
erary blemishes in President Cleveland's inaug
ural address, especially his tendency to
tautology. "He speaks," It says, “of ‘unre
served and complete devotion to the interests
and welfare’ of the people, of ‘growth and ex
pansion,’ of 'frugality and economy,’ of 'prodi
gality and extravagance,' of ’economy and
frugality,’ of “strength and sturdiness,' of
’right and justice.' He says that a certain
thing should be ‘justly and fairly conceded,’
that we should hare a *j ust and equitable system
of federal taxation.’ The use of these synony
mous terms in pairs Is one of Mr. Cleveland's
literary sins; and we notice, also, that he uni
formly separates the sign of the inflnitive from
its verb; for example, 'to constantly watch,’*to
honestly and considerately regard.' This Is a
very common fault among American writers.
It is very rarely found in good literature,’ ’
The largest apple orchard in the world Is to be
seen in the wilderness of Koolau, Maui, Sand
wich Islands. The forest is of native wild apple
trees, which are countless In number and
stretching from the sea far up the mountain
side. These trees vary from 40 to 30 feet in
bigot, and during the harvest season are cov
ered with fruit of white and red colors. For
miles around, and up the mountain side, and
toward the seashore, are vast groves of these
trees. The crop of these apple orchards, which
nature has planted so generously in this wild
and solitary waste, fills a fleet ot 100 steamers
The orchard stretches over a country from ten
to fifteen miles wide and twenty miles long-
Many of these trees bear at lessr, Arty barrels
of apples. The fruit furnishes the tiaveler an
excellent repast, appeasing both tuirst and
hunger. So far as is now known, no coir mer
cial use can he made of the fruit, from the fact
t hat when ripe it cannot be kept for more than
four days.
The lj vman is often confused by the apparent
indiscriminate use of the words volt, ohm.
ampere and watt as units of electrical measure
ment, says the Pittsburg Post. Each one of
these terms has a different meaning, and when
explained by comparing them with analogous
terms in hydraulics or steam engineering can
be easily understood. The volt is the electrical
unit of pressure, and is the same as pounds of
steam; tbe ampere is th • unit of qua ntity, amt
is equivalent to gallons of water; the ohm is
the unit of resistance, which is nothing more
than electrical friction, and the watt is the unit
of energy, 748 watts equaling one horse power.
There Is, In fact, remarkable similarity between
electrical distribution and hydraulics. Toe cur
rent of electricity flowing through a wire acts
in much the same manner as a current of water
flowing through a pipe, and the flow of eieo
, trinity from tta overhead wire down over the
wheels to the track turns the wheels just as a
wate r wheel is turned.
Chronology is an interesting study, says the
New York Tribune, but all the changes of time
and date cannot add oae moment to the allotted
period of man’s life. Pope Gregory XIII. sliced
ten days off the calendar in 1381, and In some
century to come some other pope, or more
likely, some council of nations, will agree to
turn back the hands again. One of the puzzling
Questions put to young meu and women in ool
legiate examinations is this: “What were the
ten days in the world's history in which noth
ing was eaten, nothing drunk and nothing
spoken?" The answer is. of course, the period
betweea Oct. 6 and Oct. IS, in the year l5Si
The world hail fallen behind, and the pope
simply shoved it along ten days at a jump.
That was the beginning of the Gregorian calen
dar. From 158S to 1700 tbe difference between
the old and the new styles was ten days In
tbe eighteenth century it wag eleven daps. In
the present century it is twelve days From
1900 to 2100 it will be thirteen dsys. The pope
did a pretty bold thing la burying ten days in
1552.
The Icelanders declare that they have a small
quadruped about the size of a rabbit which
habitually makes its home In the crater of
Hecla, sporting and rearing its young in the
molten lava When Cyprus was the center of
theoopper Industry It Is assorted that a 4 foited
animal with wings lived in the hottest furnaces
among the Are, and, furthermore, that It would
die instantly upon being removed from Its nat
ural element, the flames. The salamander of
old was also a creature which did not dread the
fire. Some say that it could eat fire and spit
flames; others that its breath would Ignite ail
combustibles. Pliny says: “This animal is so
intensely cold as to extinguish Are by its con
tact, in the same way that ice doth ” Aristotle
believed that some creatures were capable of
supporting life even though confined to the de
vouring element. He says: "In Cyprus, when
tha manufacturers of chslcitis dims) burn it
many days in tbe fire, a winged creature, some
thin* larger than a great fly. is seen emerging
from the stone and leaplug and walking about
in the fire. These creatures perish imm 3d lately
upon being removed from the furnace,”
Red-haired blondes are rather rare. The
Indians worshiped red haired people, regard
ing them in the light of children of the sun.
There have been poets who have gone into
raptu-es over red hair and called it “sun
kissed.” According to a legend of old the
devil, who tempted the pious hermit in the
desert, appeared unto himj in the form of a
woman “clothed in a veil of darkest red hair.”
which, as we are Informed, “turned and twisted
around her bosom like snakes of copper. " The
moral of this story—for all stories must have a
moral, according to the New York Commercial
Adve t.ser—is that red haired beauty is the
most dangerously seductive of any, for his
satouic majesty would not assume such a hir
sute covering were It not that he considered it
the most captivating web of all others in which
to inveigle the Soul of mac. In this case, how
ever. lie egregiously failed to accomplish his
dark desigu, for the hermit refused to be smit
ten by tbe fasc-nation of the tempting siren
who had crossed his path. Curiously enough,
though red hair isard has been symbolic of in
tense passion aud cruelty, it is also emblematic
of the most innocent purity. It is a color In
which opposing extremes seem to meet and
blend.
