10y TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUEE.l
WASHINGTON June 1S.-The hope that Congress
would be able to adjourn at o'clock this afternoon
was not given up even by the more expert
enced members of the Senate and House
Of Representatives until about II o'clock last
night The fact that the amendment to the
rules of the House during the last Con-
gress prohibiting new legislation on appropriation
bills unless upon its face the legislation should pro-
pose a reduction of public expenditures, had sent to
the Senate hundreds of measures that could not be
entertained in the House. all of which
would have to be offered as amendments
to the Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill and
acted upon, seems to have been overlooked. But
when, after the text Of the bill it was reported
from the Senate Committee on Appropriations had
been read through, Senators began to draw from
their desks the amendments they desired to offer,
the talk in the House of Representatives of receiv
ing the bin from the Senate within half an hour
ceased. and even those who were in the greatest
hurry TO adjourn admitted that another postpone
ment would have to take place.
1t is now possible that the adjournment may take
place at the hour last fixed 6 O'clock tomorrow
EVENING" but it looks hardly probable. If the Con-
ference Committee the Sundry Civil Bin sits all
night it NAV bring in its report soon after the hour

IT is proposed to celebrate at Pompeii,
next year, the eighteen hundredth ami
versary of the destruction of Pompeii
and Herculaneum.
A BISMARCK special announces the
discovery of rich gold fields in Bearpaw
Mountain, Montana, and great excite
ment at Fort Benton.
In 1914 Great Britain, with popula-
ton of 100000, had 147 900 seamen
and marines, and one hundred and four

city receives its water supply.
THE Nevada mines have heretofore
yielded abundantly of silver, with very
small percentage of gold; but those of
Eureka are now yielding bullion one
half gold, which is reversing the gen.
eral rule. The Comstock mines show a
decrease of gold as the mines increase
in depth.
Mr.. Il. A. PROCTOR, the astronomer,
relates that not very long ago, in an es-
say about spectroscopic photography, he
wrote of "lines, bands, and stria, near
the violet end of the spectra." The
rendering the printers chose TO adopt
was this Links, bonds, and stripes
for the violent kind of spectres."
THE composition of lula silver, which
was long kepta secret, has been at length
discovered. 1t consists of nine parts of
silver, one part of lead, and one part of
bismuth. The metals, in the proper
tons stated, are melted together, and
when saturated with sulphur the alloy
takes on beautiful steel blue tint,
THE first piano manufactured in the
United States is believed 10 have been
made by John Belmont, of Philadelphia,
in 1775. Chickering was established in
1923, and Steinway's house dates from
1858. Up to 1920 most pianofortes in
New York bore on their plates the name
of j. j. Astor, having been imported by
the original John Jacob from Broadwood
or Clement of England. Some of tn EN-
are yet in old houses.
THE horse chestnut, whose timber
value, as compared with that of oak,
has lately been the subject of much dis
cussion in England, was first brought
to Europe from Asia about 1850. Deer
in English parks are so fond of the fruit
that they have been known to show
fight when driven off. In Bushy Park,
close to Hampton Court, there is a
superb avenue of these trees which in
May thousands flock to see.

The Brain a Photograph.

Students of De Quincy who have been
delighted d instructed by his brilliant
paper on "The Palimpsest of the HUI
man Brain" would do well to read some
speculations Just advanced by DIR. G.
William Siemens, bearing upon physio-
logical research. The discovery of the
microphone and of its two elder sisters,
the telephone and the monograph, the
doctor thinks, will probably be regarded
as one of the greatest achievements of
the present century, and the phenomena
presented by them may reveal the secrets
of animate organization. He proceeds
to trace an analogy between the action
of the brain in the exercise OF memory
and of the photograph in reproducing
the impression it received. Briefly, his
statement of the case is this: The i'm
pressions received through the senses are
communicated to the corpuscular bodies
imbedded in the gray substance of the
brain; these corpuscular bodies, in
which the sensitive nerves terminate,
are connected by delicate flaments with
the nervous system of volition, on
which they react, and that the mind
may have the power of dealing with
impressions received in the past, there
must be some material which perma-
nently receives these impressions. He
then asks whether the gray substance of
the brain be not like a store-house, con-
tanning the accumulated treasures of our
knowledge and experience, to be called
into use by the directing power of the
mind, in turning on, as it were, one
photographic barrel after another. On
this theory there may be given an ex-
| PLANTATION of dreams, Authorizations,
etc, in states or conditions where the
control of the will is weakened and the
imprints of the past in the brain be-
come confused and enter into strange
combinations. That the appearance OF
things around us may find a permanent
judgment through some form of impress
sion in the gray matter of the brain, as
well as sound has lately been shown by
Willoughby Smith. He substituted
crystalline selenium for carbon in ths
microphone, and when ray of sunlight
| fell on the selenium noise like that Of
steam hammer was heard.

Elizabeth of England's Last Days.

If the Ministers and courtiers were
counting on her death, Elizabeth had
no mind to die. She had etjoyed life
as the men of her day enjoyed it, and
now that they were gone she clung to it
danced, she TESTED with her young favor
ties, she coquetted and scolded and
frolicked at sixty-seven as she had at
thirty. "The Queen" wrote courtier
few months before her death, "was
never SO gallant these many years nor so
set upon jollity. She persisted, in spite
of opposition, in her gorgeous progress
from country house to country house.
She chung to business as of old, and
rated in her usual fashsion 'one who
minded not giving up some matter of ac-
count"
But death crept on. Her face became
haggard, and her frame shrunk almost
to a skeleton. AT last her taste for
fnery disappeared, and she refused to
change her dress for week together.
A strange melancholy settled down on
her.
"She held in her hand" says one who
saw her in her last days, "a golden cup
which she often put to her lips; but in
truth her heart seemed too full to need
more filing"
Gradually her mind gave way. She
lost her memory, the violence of her
temper became unbearable, her very
courage seemed to forsake her. She
called for a sword to lie constantly be-
side her, and thrust it from time to
time through the arras, as if she heard
murderers stirring there. Food and
rest became alike distasteful. She sat
day and night propped up with pillows
on stool, her finger on her lips, her
eyes fixed on the floor, without a word.
If she once broke the silence it was with
fash of her old queenliness. When
Sir Robert Cecil declared that she must

trumpet.
"Must" she exclaimed; is must q
word to be addressed to Princes? Little
man, little man, thy father, if he haG
been alive, burst not have used that
word"
Then, as her anger spent itself, she
sank into the old detection.

She rallied once more when the Min
listers beside her named Lord Beau

The Ocean Floor.

Here is an end of all romance about
hidden ocean depths. We can specu-
late no longer about perils in chambers
of pearl, or mermaids, or heaped treas
ures and dead mems bones whitening in
coral caves. The whole ocean floor is
now mapped out for us.
The report of the exploring expedi-
ton sent out from London in Her
Majesty's Ship Challenger, has recently
been published. Nearly four years
were given TO the examination of the
currents and floors of the four great
oceans of the world.
The Atlantic, we are told, if drained,
would be vast plain, with mountain
ridge in the middle running parallel
with our coast. Another range crosses
it from Newfoundland to Ireland, on
the top of which lies submarine cable.
The ocean is thus divided into three
great basins, no longer unfaGhomed
depths" The tops of these sea-moun-
tains are two miles below sailing ship,
and the basins, according to Reclus,
fifteen miles, which is deep enough for
drowning, if not for mystery. The
mountains are whitened for thousands OF
niles Dy JiHy, CREAMY sHcii. Ano
depths are red in color, heaped with
volcanic masses. Through the black,
motionless water of these abysses move
gigantic abnormal creatures, which
never rise to the upper current.
There is an old legend coming down
to us from the first ages of the world on
which these scientific deep-sea sound.
ings throw a curious light. Plato and
Solon recorded the tradition, ancient in
their days, of country in the western
seas where fourished the first ciyiliza
ton of mankind, which by volcanic
action was submerged and lost.
The same story is told by the Contra
Americans, who still celebrate in the
fast of Izcalli the frightful cataceysm
which destroyed this land with it
stately cities.
De Bourbourg and other archaologist
assert that this lost land extended from
Mexico beyond the West Indies. TIL

Two or three weeks ago the Royal
Carbineers at the Porta del Popolo,
Rome, were attracted by an unusual
light which appeared ON the roads out
side the walls leading from the Porto
del Populo, in the direction of the an
cient Porta Pinciana. On drawing to-
ward the scene of the illumination they
heard cries of Vittoria! Evvivia !"
and found that both the light and the
cries proceeded from man who was en-
veloped in flames. Before they could
extinguish the flames the man was
reduced to carborn before their eyes,
He had soaked his garments in petrol
cum and set fire to himself. A box of
matches and an empty petroleum flask
lay near him, and his hat which had
mourning Grape around it, was hung
on the adjoining hedge. His features
were horribly dis6gured. The gentle
man who thus committed self -cremation
was vice-secretary in the Office of the
minister of war. He was good, intel
ligent public servant, and was noted for
his intelligence and diligence. He was
unmarried, and somewhat taciturn and
gloomy at times, but gave no indication
of insanity,

THE ASSASSINATION OF MR.. LIN
COLIN.

A curious account of mysterious
package that John Wilkes Booth de-
liyered on the morning of the assassina-
ton of President Lincoln has now ap-
peared. An eye-witnes relates that on
the night of the assassination of Presi-
dent Lincoln, private dinner-party
was in progress in back room at Worm
ley's restaurant, in Washington, at
which were present General Baird,
Robert johnson, the Hon. Samuel j.
Randall, John Morrissey, John F. Coyle,
editor of the National Intei6gencer, and
one other gentleman. During the pro-
gress of the dinner, waiter who had
been out ON the street returned and
stated that the President had been shot
at Ford's Theater. The news created
great CONSERVATION in the party, who
at first thought the waiter was drunk or
crazy. Later, when they were assured
that it was fact, and that John Wilkes
Booth was accused of the crime, John
F. Coyle, with blanched features and
trembling lips, said: "My God, gentle
men This very day met John Wilkes
Booth OH the market-space. He was on
bay mare, and rode up to me and
handed me sealed envelope as he did so,
If you hear of me within twenty
four hours publish this; if you do not
hear of me within that time, destroy
this and rode away. Here is the pack
age" continued Mr.. Coyle, producing a
letter envelope from his pocket; "what
shall do with it p Destroy itat once"
said Mr.. Randall. "They will hang any.
body who knows anything about the as
sassination, no matter how innocently
they may have come by their knowl-
edge; don't open it-burn it up just as it
it tsp es said Mr.. Morrissey, "burn
it up, for Gods sake, at once" The
doors were carefully locked. A fire
was made in the CRATE, and the mysteri-
GUS envelope and it's contents were care
fully burned. Even the ashes were
carefully collected and placed in dish /;
water poured upon them, and the two
were mixed into paste, which was
aiterward put into the fire and burned
again.

The Pickanninies at " Fifth Avenue"

When the play of "Uncle Toms
Cabin" was given at the Fifth Avenue
Theater, lately, the principal attraction
was the company of genuine plantation
darkies who took part in the episode of
the " Virginia Breakdown" To eyes
used only to burnt-cork limitations, the
dancing of these originals approached
the neighborhood Of genius; it was
simple as Bret Harte would say, but
" iirst-class; =. it had FIRE and abandon,
no less than polish. When the fun and
fury were at their height, forward came

Fashionable Preaching.

As he was ascending the pulpit steps,
one of the elders button-holed him to
whisper an additional caution.
"The liquor dealer has just come into
the church, and he gives us lift some
times. ] wish you would be particular
not to allude to the whisky business
or the temperance question"
The young minister, getting fairly
frightened to see the moral ground thus
steadily narrowing before him, in

Whom orwhatshall Ipreach against,

triumph.

anybody, that certainly would have been
an effective direction.
