CHICAGO, August Sit has Just been
discovered that ever since Monday myste.
rious conclave of prominent Irishmen,
numbering something near 100, has been
in session at one of the hotels of the CITY
Their deliberations have peen held under
lock and key, and in room padded as to

cluded. There are present John Warren,
OF Lowell, Mass, strong friend of Ben.

borer of Grove; George j. West, of Provl-
dence, a lawyer and secretary OF one of the
branches of the Land League; Rev. Father
George G. Belts, OF St. Louis; George G..
Cunningham, of New Haven, and many
other well-known agitators Nobody has
been let into their secrets, and their meet
ings have excluded all reporters. 1t has,
however, leaked out that these men are a
dynamite crowd: that their deliberations
are not as to whether dynamite shall be
used against England, but as to the most
feasible way of using it.

money, for, though the loafer may not
earn cent or have one for months,
the time lost might have procured him
much money, if devoted TO industry

already amounts to many thousand
hides year. The tanning of alligator
hides began about twenty years ago.
AT first Louisiana furnished the skins
and New Orleans was the centre of the
traffic. The general slaughter of al.
ligators soon made them scarce in that
state, and now Florida is the chief
source of supply. The tanning is done
at the north.
The influence Of atmospheric cleo
tricity on the vegetation Of the vine
has been studied near Palermo by M.

acceeration Of vegetation was proved by
the wood of these stocks containing
less mineral matters and potash than
that of the leaves, and in these the
potash was mostly in the bitartrate
form.
