Cornelius is better known for a largo heart and a Christian way of using wfcalth than he is for making it. of mind is a good thing to cultivate, and how little of it is gener­ ally p ossessed is shown by the acts of the crowd in an English theater during the Christmas pantomime when the cry of fire was started. The few who, possessed this valuable characteristic were unable to calm the panic-stricken crowd, and in an angle of a narrow Btairway from the gallery ten persons, ̂ 'nearly all children, were trampled to death. Emergency drills should be a part of school training. It is noticeable that in such an event it is more apt to be big, burly men than it is women. It shows how large a propor­ tion of men are natural cowards. I®* The press of the country will unite in congratulations to that bright young newspaper man, Mr. Marshal Cushing, who has been such an invaluable assist­ ant as private secretary to Postmaster General Wanamaker, over his marriage to a wealthy Washington' lady. Mr. Cushing deserves such a future. He is one of the promising young men of the nation. A great many of the original, practical ideas of the Postmaster General, as given in his report, have no doubt come to him through this young news­ paper man, whose training has fitted him to quickly see the public needs, and through whom the Postmaster General has established a close connection with the officials of the service down to the smallest country oostoffice. iSTThe workingmen of England are for a bi-metallic currency,) and a large body of them demand the remonetization of silver. ' A conference on the subject is soon to be held in Manchester. The bi­ metallic movement among the cotton- trade unions is growing in strength, and e support of a section of the em- of the cotton mills, while it is by others. There is little doubt nothing is done to disturb the t relations of the two metals in this country, the demand of the people will compel Europe to come to an inter­ national ratio which shall fix the relative value of the two metals and insure the use of both equally. All this nation has to do is to carry out the present policy and wait. trade un 10" When it was first proposed to make American tin plate, the argument against it was that you haven't any tin. The mines at Helena, Montana, soon dis­ proved this, and now comes a more thor­ ough refutation in a full carload of Amer­ ican tin shipped recently from the Temes^ cal mines near San Diego, Cal. In spite all the lying about it, the United States now has tin mines and tin plate factories, and American tin is on the market. Within five years the larger part, if nqt .the whole supply, will be made in this country, adding that im­ mense amount of value to our resources. And it is all on account of McKinley. No wonder the Democratic leader^ have con­ cluded it wiser to shelve the tariff ques­ tion at present. But they willnot be able to get away from the record. They cannot share in the triumph Qf achieve­ ments which they did their best to pre­ vent. For Congre8«man-At-L>arg^. Hon. Charles E. Fuller, of Belvidere, has announced himself a candidate (for. Congressman-at-Large; it is now the duty of every Republican in Northern Illinois to work from this day on to the time of the convention for his nomina­ tion. It is here in this stronghold of Republicans, that the State has to look for the votes which saves the State for the Republican party. Northern Illinois is justly entitled to this nomination, and there is no man in the party that more fully represents the principals of the party than does Chas. E. Puller. He comes before the people as no stran­ ger as he has long been a tried represen­ tative of the party, and under all circum­ stanced and conditions he has been found the able advocate of Republican princi­ ples. He is a gentleman of great ability, a fluent speaker, and a devoted and ardent adherent and believer in the polit­ ical doctrine as taught by Lincoln, Grant Logan and others who made the Repub­ lican party. His course as Chairman of the Republican Steering Committee of the last Legislature should commend hijn to every Republican in the State. It will be a. pleasure for us tofwork for his nomina­ tion, and what we can do to further his interest, we shall be'found stript *for work. This nomination belongs to Nor­ thern Illinois and the Republicans in this section should see that it is accorded us. We are now standing upon our reserved rights, for full well do the Republicans of this State know that it is to the Fifth and Sixth Congressional Districts they must look for the vote to save the State from the contest with the Democratic party. With Hon. R. R. Hitt and Hon. A. J. Hopkins, from the Fifth and Sixth Con­ gressional District^ in Congress, and with Chas. E. Fuller as Congressman-at-Large frooi Northern Illinois, no portion of our country would be more creditably repre­ sented than would Northern Illinois. We hope to see every Republican in these two Congressional Districts from now on until the Convention meets, working for his nomination.--Rochelle Herald. We heartily endorse every word of the above, and next week shall have some­ thing to' say ourselves on the subject. I®* We endorse every word of the following from the Waukegan Gazette: "The cheek of what are known as news­ paper advertising ^agents has been fre­ quently harped upon by country news­ papers, and often unjustly. In the case of Messrs. G. P. Rowell & Co., of New York, probably no injustice has been done. This company has become enor­ mously rich off of the country newspa­ pers of the country. As they have be­ come rich, they have become arrogant and assume to tyrannize the country press. In their reports of newspapers, the whole plan has been to belittle as much as possible, the country press. Then they took one more step and dic­ tate to them just how reports of circula­ tion shall be made, substantially say, "make a report as we dictate or we will report you as we please." It has been stated that the cdmpany was lately "hawking" for sale about $40,000 of ad­ vertising space in country weeklies, that had been secured by inveigling country editors to advertise in their "annual" at exorbitant rates. Latterly the company is publishing a little sheet called Printer's Ink, sent over the country, almost gra­ tuitously, and are making a great effort to compel papers to advertise in it. Its prices are only $100 each issue for space about 3% by 7 inches. As an ad Verti dng medium for the country press it is worthless. We are glad to see that, with possibly one exception, the Chicago papers give it the cold shoulder. The Gazette will be glad to see the country press all over the country ignore this concern and cut entirely free from it, There are plenty of advertising agents, with whom it is a pleasure to do business and it is not necessary to bear offerings to the insatiable greed of Messrs. Geo. P, BoweU&Oo." t6T"Cheok Hong Cheong, an intelligent Chinaman, is visiting England pleading with that Christian nation to abolish the opium trafic. But there is money in opium and the Christian Englishmen will probably continue to send it along with missionaries: Answering the question as to whether the Chinese were likely to overrun this western continent, this in­ telligent Chinaman says: I don't think so. Why should they leave their own country? Look what a vast extent of territory China posesses. There is a square mile of country for every seventy-two of her 400,000,000. In France there are 200 inhabitants to the square mile: in Germany 230 and in Great Britian 333. Then the soil is much more fertile and is capable of producing a more rapid succession of crops, and in greater abundance than that of any country in Europe. China is also far richer in mineral recources. In all the provinces of the empire there are deposits of coal, measuring in the aggregate 449,- 000 square miles, or more than twenty t.mes the extent of the aggregate coal fields of all the coal producing countries of Europe and three and a half that of the United States, Side by side with these coal fields are to be found iron ore and ironstone in great abundance. What the future ot a country and a people with mineral resources so great and valuable may be, I leave you to conjecture. This is a statement made here not usually thought of in discussing the Chi­ nese question, and that is that few sub­ jects of the empire ever come here. The Chinese on these shores are from the foreign protectorates and nearly all British subjects. It is small territory and there is little danger, even without restriction that they would flood this country and drive out other races. Was Columbus a Dago? •I don't often laugh outright in the schoolroom," said a down town teacher the other day, "but I have to struggle har<y^> suppress an audible smile some­ time For instance, I was instructing my class one day in^the events just pre­ ceding the revolutidnary war, and after I had read and explained the lesson I began to ask questions about it. I asked one boy to name one of the causes that led to the revolt of the colonies against Great Britain. 'Tea,' he answered. That was all right, so I said to another, a col­ ored boy, by the way, 'Name another cause.' After a pause he replied, 'Cof­ fee.' "On the same day I gave my boys a short talk about Columbus, and then asked, 'Who can tell me the nationality of Columbus!' A half dozen hands were raised, and selecting one of my brightest scholars I told him to answer. Judge of my surprise when he said trinmpha.n t.ly, Dago.'"--Kiikulelphia, Record. UogifHity Talk Some Day. • Professor A. Graham Bell believes that dogs may be taught to pronounce words, and is now making scientific ex­ periments in this direction.

Sometimes a strictly vegetable and fruit diet, avoiding carefully all butter and vegetable fats, will purify the com­ plexion when the most eyeful regime in bathing and all the prescriptions of the physician are of no avail. Such diet­ ing need be adhered to for only a few weeks and then one may go back gradu­ ally to one's ordinary diet, remembering, however, that an abundance of rich pastries, cakes and sweetmeats, eaten promiscuously between meal times, will tend to rum the very best complexion in the world.-- Exchange. THOUSANDS of volts, . STAhTUjyG EFFECTS .OF SQJp.Jtl&tji . . CURRENT^--'-*41, Electricity at a Pressure That Is Simply Wonderful--What May Be Done with a Current of 4S,000 Volts Can Hardly Be Imagined--Remarkable Sights. Several testa have' been made with alternating currents of electricity at very high pressures. As only 1,600 volts were needed to kill the condemned murderers in Sing Sing prison, the effect of 45,000 and 48,000 volts on animate and inan­ imate objects can hardly be imagined. The difficulty of insulating the enormous, force is very serious, as an arc will flash across four or five inches of space be­ tween the electrodes, and high tension currents have not been used much. The current for the lights and power at the electro-technical exhibition at Frank- fort-op-the-Main was transmitted from Lauffen, where it was generated by water power, at a pressure of 16,000 volts. After the close of the exhibition experiments were made with the wire and insulators at high pressures, and they were among the most interesting of the electrical experiments. The distance between the cities is about 108 milQs, and the wire, one- eighth of an inch iu diameter, weighed 132,000 pounds. The insulators were able to preserve the intensity of the cur­ rent. Each was composed of three sec­ tions, The porcei<yLn. top was flat, with a deep groove for the wire. Underneath was A saucer shaped receptacle, and be­ neath that were two more, one of larger breadth and depth than the other, and all were filled with oil. The binding wires ran through the oil, which is a good nonconductor. At Frankfort a commutator changed the alternating current to a continuous current for light and power. In the experiments the pressure was increased to 20,000, 40,000 and 48,000 volts. Beyond 27,000 volts the porcelain in­ sulators were punctured frequently. In producing an arc between two carbons at 40,000 volts a plate of glass was pierced very quickly. At 48,000 volts the intensity was so great that the light was not so brilliant as it was at 20,000 Volts. It is-believed that 50,000 volts can be reached with conductors pro­ tected from the effects of weather. CURRENTS OP 40,000 VOLTS. Almost at the same time the Siemens Bros., of London, were experimenting with high tension currents, having had at the Naval exhibition an apparatus capable of delivering a current at a pres­ sure of 45,(XK) volts. This description of a private exhibition of "the apparatus with 40,000 volts is from Engineering: "On a table was an electrode some three inches in length, connected to one terminal of a transformer. Over it was mounted a large sheet of glass three mil­ limeters thick, and above the glass was a second electrode terminating in a sharp point, the distance between the elec­ trodes being three centimeters. When the current was turned on to the primary coil of the transformer there first ap­ peared a purple haze at the upper elec­ trode streaming toward the glass. As the current increased this haze grew in fullness and definition, and began to throw out feelers, which darted outward and as quickly withdrew. As the elec­ tromotive force augmented still further, these feelers gathered power until they beat themselves on the glass as if they would force themselves through it in their mad desire to reach the other elec­ trode. The whole space below the point­ ed conductor became alive with them, and exhibited a mass of leaping, crack­ ling threads of purple fire,which writhed and twisted in impotent attempts to burst through the barrier, and failing that, spread themselves along its surface, endeavoring to rush over its edges, and so reach their goal by a circuitous route. * "But this was beyond their strength until the electro-motive force approached 45,000 volts, when suddenly the entire appearance was changed. The current overleaped the edges of the plate and flowed completely around it in all di­ rections. At that moment the intense purple color of the spark disappeared, and was replaced by white light of the greatest brilliancy, which glistened and flashed until the spectators had to turn away their bedazzled gaze. REMARKABLE EXPERIMENTS. "A change in the arrangement was then made. The upper pointed electrode was replaced by a brass disk, three inches in diameter. This was laid over the surface of the glass plate with three very thin washers of vulcanite, inter­ vening between the two. The current was then turned on in the same gradual manner as before. The space between the two disks immediately filled with purple light, which had sufficient motion in it to recall the flame of a Bunsen burner, spread out under the bottom of a beaker. Sparks then began to appear at the edges, and, as they gathered strength, to radiate a little beyond them. Gradually they became streamers, stretching out along the surface of the plate in curved, fanciful forms which twined and twisted and weaved them­ selves into a glistening filagree, compared by an imaginative spectator to 'an ago­ nized Japanese chrysanthemum. "This experiment had not the brilliant refulgence of the on® that preceded it; but was characterized by a quivering irradiation which wreathed and tossed like a bird beating itself at the bars of its cage. In spite of its less formidable appearance, however, it proved destruc­ tive to the glass, which presently fltkj^L in pieces with a crash. Several sheetJJ" were tried in succession, but each was pierced and broken and allowed the cur­ rent to attain its object of flowing di­ rectly from one electrode to the other." In experimenting with an arc at 44,006 volts the' arc established itself when the electrodes were five inches apart. but the flames; instead of bridging the space, spread out in two thin tongues at right angles to the electrodes and parallel to each other. When the electrodes were pushed nearer together the flames wan­ dered back al®ng the stems, repelling each other.--New York Times.
