EX-CONGRESSM A SHEFFIELD, now
q member of the legislature Of Rhode
Island, has made a brave effort to cor
rect the notorious pollution of the bal
lot box in that state, says the Philadel-
phia Times. In his recent speech in
support of his bill to punish bribery
at elections, he startled the house by
the declaration that he could prove in
a court of justice that s40,0 900 had been
spent to secure one state office; that
S45, 600 had been paid for another, and
S40,0 900 for another, and not by William
Sprague. 1t is well known that the
ambition of wealth has more than once
triumphed over merit in Rhode Island,
but the figures Enthusiastically given
by Mr.. Sheffield must arouse the people
of the little commonwealth to some
efforts to prevent the annual auction of
their offices. Mr.. Sheffield isn't a polit-
ical crank. On the contrary, he is a
gentleman of High character and intel
lIgence, and one of the ablest men in
the state, and he will win the lasting
gratitude of his people and of the
try if he shall succeed in revolutioniZ-
ing the corrupt political system that has
become stronger than parties in Rhode
Island.

A CLEVELAND electrician, who re-
Gently visited Menlo Park, asserts that
Edison has ''simply resurrected a lot of
scientific lumber with the design of
dazzling the public" which has forgot
ten the experiments Of thirty years ago.
The Cleveland mans sorrow and sym
pathy with the befooled people of New
York is in their acceptance of the idea
that Edison could possibly light New
York even if his light were what he
represents it to be. He shows by 6g-
ures that to get everything in running
order would cost 500, 600, 900; that the
actual cost of each light would be S2l
a year, and then not get as much illu-
minating power from it as could be had
from a four-foot burner. Edison's
shops were still in business last night,
and the shares of stocks are still too
high for small capitalists,

An lndia Rubber ye-se,

The acute German mind has already
conceived the folly of building Impreg-
nable ships. The learned Prof. Loewen-
thai has become convinced that instead
Of building ships which cannot be
pierced by the guns now in use, we
should build ships which would offer
the least resistance to cannon balls.
He claims that the frigate Of the future
will be so constructed that the balls of
the enemy will pass directly through
her without inlicting any damage, and
that she will attack her enemy, not
with guns, but with torpedoes.
Herr Loewenthal selects for the ma
terial of his newly invented war vessel,
india rubber of one foot in thickness.
The whole hull is to be made Of india
rubber, strengthened below the water
line with a light steel frame. The ves-
sci will be driven by al ordinary steam
engine, and will have no masts. AT
the bow will. be a projecting spar, to
which torpedoes will be affixed, and the
entire crew, including the helmsman,
will be on the lower deck out of the
range of shot. When a cannon ball
strikes the india rubber ship,it will pass
directly through it above the heads of
the crew, and the hole made by it will
instantly close. Paying nj attention to
such futile attacks, the india rubber
vessel will steam toward her adversary
and explode her topedo. The doomed
vessel will instantly sink, while her
elastic destroyer will be driven hundreds
Of yards backward by the recoil follow
ing the explosion.
Such a vessel, says the inventor,
could easily destroy all the navies in the
world, and after her work was done
she could be made rs strong rs ever
with the aid of two OF three bot ties OF
cement.-N. Y. Times.

anecdote: When he was comparatively

at dinner one evening besides one of

haughtiness piqued, while it amused,
the discerning diplomatist. The fish
disposed of, he hazarded a remark. No

made its appearance, and the count
politely asked permission to recommend
one of the delicacies of his country. A
blank stare rewarded his effort. Not
to be beaten without a struggle he ven
tured upon u third obsei walton toward

turned and yawned, slowly, systematic
cally, capaciously in his face. "Ah,

in a loud voice; 81 also have many
