CoCHIsK county, according to tue reg
 istration so far, will poll the heaviest
 vote of any county in the Territory.
 The reason of this Is obvious. The po- htical excitement in that county has
 been intense for months. One paper there received as high as S1, 600 for the vsrlous announcements of candidates before the conventions met. There was strong desire on the part of the old ring to perpetuate itself and on the part of tax payers and good citizens to have a new deal. All these circumstances have combined to create an interest in that county that does not exist any, where else in the Territory. In this county not near the full vote will be registered. But little interest is felt or expressed in politics. This paper did not publish a single announcement be- fore the conventions met, and the Star only a few. Our people are too busy even to take that interest which every good citizen should take in political matters. As 8 rule Pima county has been fortunate in her selection of of- icers, and we have no outraged commu- nity struggling to redress its grievances. The way for our people co continue the existing state of affairs Is to take a live y interest in the choice of local officers and see that none but good men are nominated and elected.

Cadet Whitaker, who had hIs ears
 slit or slit them himself, and succeeded
 ln making quite a sensstion thereby
 and arousiDg much sympathy, which
 subsequent investigation shows was
 not altogether deserved, having no further occupation as soldier, has
 turned up in South Carolina as d politician, and wants to run for Con-
 gress upon the Bourbon ticket against
 Mackey in the black district on the Re publican side. Cadet Whittakers espousal of the Red-Shirt cause probably grew out of feeling of revenge for his
 dismissal from West Point, as well as the feeling that his sore ears deserve the indemnity of an office. Prior to the l"pping of his ears, Cadet Whitaker was a Republican. It is now evident that the BOurbOns think their new apostle will make votes and draw off the blacks by exhibiting hIs scars as proofs of Republican ingratidude. They do not stop to think, however, that the blacks of South Carolina who have suffered for years from Democratic bulldOzing and from the whips and shotguus of the RAl-Shirts will not be moved much by the Topped ears of Cadet Whitaker. He may earn his price for the dirty work set him by the Bourbons, but he will not deliver any votes to them.

What are the Tides!

Sir W. Thompson in a recent address
 found some difficulty in explaining the
 tides, which he defined as the motions
 of water on the earth due tO the attrac
 tlon of sun and moon. There were places
 where lunar tides vanished altogether,
 and where there was only rise and
 fall once Tn the solar day, or twice m the
 solar day. There were places where the
 water rose and fell a, coTdug to the sun,
 and not according G. tue moon; but
 such fluctuations We're modified by local
 causes. Iu the theory of tides proper,
 there was also solar annual tide, and
 again, solar semI-anLuai tide. The
 first rough view of the theory of the
 tide generating force was that the moon attracts the waters of the earth towards herself, and heaped them upon this side of the earth. That was not sO; it would
 be so fl the earth and the moon were stuck on the two ends of strong bar and put at rest m space, but there was DO such rigid bar.
 Why did not the moon fall towards the earth? According to NewtOn's the ory, the moon is always doing SO. New ton compared the fall of the moon with the fall of a stone at the eaTths surface. Why did 1t not come down: Could 1t be always falling and never come dOwn2 That seemed impossible. It was always falling, but it had R motion perpendIcu- lar to the direction in which It was fall ing, and the result Of continual falling was simply a change of direction of its motion. That was simply the dynami- cal theory of centrifugal force. r. stone were thrown horizontally 1t de- scended in a parabola, the stone falling away from the line m which 1t was thrown; soIt was with the moon. If was seen always Co be falling from the present direction and from the further altered lne, and so 1t might ba always falling and never come down. The parts . of the moon nearest to the earth were falling most rapidly. the parts further from the earth least rapidly. Each pre- served a constant distance, or very near ly @ constant distance, from t1.. common ! center of gravity of the two. The earth ! experienced according tD i.s mass a force depending on the average distance. The result clearly was, then, a tendency towards the mou and from the moon, md thus, ID a necessarily imperfect manner, he had explained how it was hat the waters were not heaped up on he slde next the moon, but were drawn ID towards the moon, and fell away rom the moon, so as to tend to form an wal figure.

KentuckN,, Eirst RailMnv.

Kentucky, bali century ago, was the
 home of some worthy pioneers Tn al
 most every department of invention and
 progress. Perhaps m no other State
 was there such a general interest on the subject of railroads as began to eXist
 here about ls30 At that time the SUD- Iect Of improved highways was attract ing special interest on account of the extensive turnpIkes in progress of COL 5tIuctlon. In 1880 q company of Lex lngton capitalists, with Sl,OO0,OOO ci pi- tai, were incorporated by the Legis at ure as the Lexington and Ohio Rul- road Company, to build a road from Lexington to LousvIlle, the rails to be laid on stone sills, and the coaches to be drawn by horses. In view of this ftct Kentucky cannot strictly claim to have built railroad at as early a date as Is commonly reckOned This was the first attempt at a railroad in the Sta te. when there wers in operation in Aneri- ca only twenty-three miles of railroad. In Aprll, 1851, the surveys for the new road were completed, and on October = of that year the first railstOne V-as lad at Lexington with great c remoly, m the presence of a large concourse Of citizens and strangers, Governor Met caife officiating. Work on the road pro- gressed slowly, however, SO that the llue was not completed to Frankfort, a distance of twenty-nine miles, until January 2. 1885.
 In March, 1881, Joseph Druen, a Lex IDgtOn mechanic who had con structed the first locomotive designed by Barlow, exhibited at Frankfort a model rail way locomotive and coach The belief was expressed on that occasion that carriages and heavy loads could be drawn as certainly and easily by steam as boats could be propelled by the same power. Horses continued to be used ou the Lexington and Ohio road until 1894. The introduction of the locomotive ID that year was celebrated by grand ball at Lexington. The first through train from Lexington to Frank fort, on the date above given, finished the distance ln two hours and twenty nine minutes Louisville Commercial

The following curious observations of sound have, 1t IS stated, been carefully verified by an extended series of expe- rIments: The whistle of locomotive IS heard $500 yards; the noise of rail- road train, 2,S0O yards; the report of a musket and the bark of dog, 1,SO0 yards; an orchestra or the roll of a drum, 1900. The human voice reaches q distance of 1000 feet; the crOaking of frogs, 900; the chirping of chickens, S0O. Distinct speaking IS heard in the air from below up to 600 yards; from above it IS only understood to a range of 100 yards downward. It has been ascer taIned that an echo IS we'll reflected from the surface of smooth water only when the voIce comes from an elevation. Other similar phenomena connected with the transmission of sound have been observed, but the results disagree, either from inac curacy Tn the observa- tions or from the varying nature of the affecting the numbers obtained. Such variations occur to an extent of 10 to 20 per cent, and even more. The weather being cold and dry, or warm and wet, are the chief in- huencing causes. In the first case the sound goes to greater and in the sec Ond to lesser distance.

There IS no jewelry about which women always show SO much interest
 as the bethrothal and wedding rings, replied ieweler to a reporters ques- tion. The first has altered noticeably | in shape and setting. A pure white
 diamond, the only suitable gem, is uu- der-set in short claws so that the stone hides the setting completely. Polished gold Is preferred to Roman gold. The shank Is oval and tapers from the gem. There Is neither enamel nor engraving on it's surface, and inscriptions are cut inside as the purchaser may order. It Is but an old fashion revived, and one which will be liked. In the last thirty years Hedding-rings have changed twice in styles, from ths narrow, double circlet, to the polished oval, and lastly the plain, wide. flat band. winch is now also preferable m polished gold.
