Now that winter 10 rapidly approaching
and householders have painful visions OF
plumbers bills for repairing water pipes,
the Chicago Inter Ocean calls attention TO q
contrivance for preventing pipes from burst
ing. 1t consists In passing through the pipes
an india rubber tube OF such diameter that
the cavity inside IL is little more than equal
TO the increase In the volume OF water by
freezing. The result Is that when the water
freezes IL congresses the rubber tube, and
thus, having the space required In expan-
sion, all danger OF bursting the pipe Is avert
ed. Upon the melting OF the ice the III 5ber
expands again. The air with which the rub
Der tube Is filled is supplied from a reservoir,
which l. acted upon by the water pressure,
so as, automatically, To put the air tube un-
der an exact corresponding degree of tension.
By warming the air the ice in the pipe is
easily and quickly thawed.

The hope that the price OF coal would be
governed by the prices paid at the great sale
OF 10000 tons In New York a couple of
mouths ago was delusive. At every suose-
quent sale the prices graduaIly crept up,
until the sale Of 10000 tOns yesterday
showed the heavy increase OF fifteen per
cent. over September sales. Those who
failed to lay In their winter supply a mouth
or six weeks ago, therefore, made q mistake.

VIII the wonders OF the telegraph never
cease? The mere transmission OF intelli
Rence was regarded as q remarkable achieve
ment OF science, but recently q method OF
accurately transmitting the handwriting OF
the sender of . dispatch was discovered.
Still another wonderful discovery has Just
been made-that OF actually conversing au.
dibly by telegraph. The Boston Aduertiser,
OF the 10th instant, prints an interesting
account OF . successful experiment OF this
kind. sAccording TO the account referred to
telephones were placed at either end OF a
telegraph line owned by the Walworth Man
ufacturing company, extending from their
Office In Boston to their factory in Cam
bridgeport, q distance OF about two miles.
The company's battery, consisting OF nine
Daniels cells, was removed from the circuit
and another OF ten carbon elements substi-
futed. Articulste conversation then took
place through the wire The sounds. at first
faint ard indistinct, became suddenly quite
loud and iptelligible. Mr. Bell In Boston
and Nr. Watson In Cambridge took notes of
what WAS said and heard, and tae compar-
fson OF the two records shows that the trans
mission was almost perfectly accurate. Con
verkation was carried on for about half an
bour, generally In an ordinary tone OF voice,
but often In whispers.

Eureka I,eutinei.

Eureka 1entii,ei.
Nearly everybody has heard the story
Of the goose that laid the golden eggs
out none, after they grow old enough to
have as much sense as boiled oyster,
believe, it to be true. 1t might have been
true, though because in mine down in
Southern Utah they have found goose S
eggs that assay $1,000 per ton in silver,
and If one goosee can lay silver eggs why
could not another goose lay golden eggs ?
A gentleman named Knox, who recently
arrived here from Tocquerville, Southern
Utah, on his way to his home at San
Francisco, had in his possession goose's
nest filled with eggs, the nest and eggs
being in petrified state, and the whole
assaying largely in silver. This curiosity
was taken from recently discovered
silver mine at Tocquerville, several hun
dred feet underground. Mr.. Knox also
had in his possession pieces of petrified
wood and petrifications which assayed
largely in silver, which were taken from
his mine, which it is stated contains gold
silver, copper, iron, antimony, lead and
various other metals in nearly all Of the
different forms peculiar to them. We
have forgotten the name of the mine, but
,hink it ought to be called the "Cabinet"
mine, as it seems to be mine of cabi-
nets of curiosities.

The Constitution does not say that NJ
man shall exercise the office OF an electol
while he is in the service of the United
States, but after authorizing each State to
appoint these electors in such manner as
IL may choose, expressly declares that ''no
Senator or Representative, or person hold
ing an Office of trust or profit under the
United States," shall be thus appointed.
Is Senator eligible and may he serve in
the college If he resigns his seat in Con-
gress after he is appointed an elector? II
the law forbids the election of non-resi-
dent to any particular Office, may candi-
date evade the prohibition by ensering
upon such a residence after the vote is
cast and before he receives the official no
tice of his election? This is too childish
for sober argument.
The office-holding candidates on the
successful ticket being therefore ineligi-
BILE beyond remedy, how are there places
to be supplied? Is the next highest candi-
date on the opposition ticket entitled to
the place? This is claimed by partisans
on the other side, but is not so clear. II
the votes for the'ineligible nominee are to
be counted as blanks, the person who
leads the other tickets would not have a
thtJOAity thO NOtCo taot, Dub dS u Dluldl'
ity elects, would he have the next high
est number and be entitled to the placer
As this question will be raised In the
State courts, where it will be legally ad-
judicated, we leave il for another aspect
OF the case.
Suppose the votes are regarded as
blanks, the candidates on the other tick
ct are ruled out, and there is an elector
wanting to complete the number to which
the State is entitled; how is the vacancy
to be filled? 1t was at first supposed that
the State laws provided for this emergen-
cy by authorizing the college to complete
the list; but a careful examination shows
that such authority is wanting in most or
all of the statutes. Any vacancy occur
ring after the election by the death of an
elector, his resignation or failure to attend
his colleagues are authorized to supply.
But where an election fails, as it will if
the opposition candidates are not admit
ted, only new election can cure the dit
ficulty. The Vermont Legislature (now
in SESSION. has promptly brought forward
a measure to legalize new appointment
this is to be legally resisted, it would
seem, by an appeal to the courts on the
ground that there was an election; but
there is not time for it in some OF the 9TH
er States, even ifit is held to answer.
Governor Lippett of Rhode Island has
declared that he is equal to
the occasion, and will forward the four
votes from his State solid for his chief
'withuot fail;'' but he does not conde-
scend to tell us how it will be done so as
to avoid the aspect of illegality.
This may all be quietly settled by
to Tilden of the necessary ma
