neers in one gear. Great admiration was
expressed for Mr.. Sullivan and his asso.
ciates for the manner in which the work
had been done. At San Bartolino the
road takes an ascending grade, and very
deep cuts add to the difficulties and ex.
pense of the way. In one stretch of five

twenty-six bridges. Mr.. Sullivan gave

Moonlight Photography.
Cincinnati Commercial.


At Lake View Cemetery, near the vault
where sleeps the martyred President. has
been accomplished scientific feat which
has never before been attempted with
success.
Richard Jahr, of Berlin, student of
the noted photographer, DR.. Vogel has
succeeded in photographing the vault of
the President by moonlight. Jahr has
labored for some time and expended con.
siderable money in an attempt to secure
a negative, with no other light than that
of the moon, and it was not until one
night last week that his efforts were
crowned with success. The camera
was left in position seven hours be-
fore the negative was perfected. The
photograph is perfect in every respect,
and as a proof of it's genuineness it may
be stated that the shadows are cast in
two directions, as the moon moved from
east to west. Further proof is found
in the fact that guard is constantly sta
toned at the vault, who bears Jahr out
in his assertion regarding the time the
negative was taken. The value of the
discovery to science, and the place where
it was made, surrounded it with peculiar
interest to the world at large.
Jahr intends to pursue his experiments
further under the beautiful moonlights
of the South and of Italy. Considering
that the art of photography was discov-
cred in Cleveland by Professor Hamilton
Smith some forty years ago, this second
discovery may perhaps have peculiar
significance

Value Of Immigration

The New York Shipping Last, in dis
cussing immigration, SAYS: Much has
been said of the commercial value of i'm
grants, but the conditions are so various
that all such estimates are the merest
guess work. That a country which is
receiving immigrants, and is able to give
them remunerative employment. is there
by enriched. is matter beyond question,
If times are good, as at present. the la
Dor of able bodied immigrants adds, of
course, to the amount of Industrial pro.
ductiOn, but their earnings cannot be even
approximately estimated. After re-
citing various rea' Ons assigned for the
outflow of population from the Old
World, none of which the Shipping List
finds entirely satisfactory, it says: "From
the present outlook it is probable that
the number coming to us this present
year will be even larger than last, and
the important question for us to con-
slider, is not so much the causes which
bring them to US, as what we are to do
with them when they are among us. 1t
is becoming question whether our in
situations can bear the strain of this i'm
mense tide of immigration; whether the
country can absorb these newcomers,
and to so peImeate them with American
ideas, in the brief time before they be-
come citizens, that they shall be worthy
the honor of citizenship. In this con
nection the propositions before Con-
gress, providing for increased educa-
tlonal advantages for our Southern and
Western States, assume more than ordi
nary importance, and demand the seri-
Gus consideration of our national legisla-
tors. We have room enough for even
an increased immigration, and in the de.
velopment of our immense resources
there is opportunity for the profitable
employment of whatever labor such i'm
migration can furnish; but how to
Americanize this great increase to our
population, how to make from those
accustomed to only Old World theories
and ideas, intelligent sovereign citizens,
is problem, the solution of which may
well tax the profoundest wisdom of our
legislators

A CHINAMAN AND HIS WIFE.
The Chinese Minister at Washing
tOn-The Unfortunate SeeIusI0n of
His wife.
Kashinaton cor. Philndelphfa rime,

Washington Cor. Philadelphia Times.
Just at the time when American
women have succeeded in causing each
House of the National Legislature to ap-
point committee whose special duty it
will be to consider the question of ad-
hitting women to all the privileges of
citizenship enjoyed by men, it is little
singular that there happens to be in our
national capital woman whose condi-
ton fairly represents in its least barbar-
Gus phase that from which the sex have
gradually risen to their present indie
pendent condition. At the Chinese lega-
ton, one of the handsomest residences
in the city, lives a lady of rank in that
country, the wife of the present Minister
-Cheng Tsao Sa. She lives in strict
seclusiop here in the national capital of
our free Country as if still in the capital
of her native land. Even here she must
obey the national law which compels
women of rank to keep within their
homes. She has never been out since
she removed from the Arlington Hotel,
where her husband and his suite were
until the legation was made ready for
their occupancy, which was before the
middle of January.
The Chinese Minister visits and at
tends parties daily, and although he as
yet knows no English no one seems to
enjoy society more than he. Through
his interpreter, who always accompanies
him, he talks merrily with ladies' He
thinks Miss West, the British Ministers
young daughter, very bright, because
she has memorized some Chinese phrases
taught her by the interpreter and re-
peated them to him. Two Philadelphia
ladies at a recent reception kept up an
animated conversation with him through
the interpreter, and he laughed heartily
over some of their sallies.
AS no one below the grade of a Min
lister or Charge d'Affaires is ever invited
to dine with one of our Presidents, the
Chinese interpreter could not accompany
the Minister to the White House, and
thus, where all the languages of the civil
lized earth were spoken, he was the only
one present who did not understand any
of them. The japanese Charge DAT
flares who attended (there being no Min
lister here now to represent tfat nation)
communicated with the Chinese gentle
man in writing on this occasion, though
he could not speak his language. The
Chinese Minister did not appear to feel
lonely at the dinner, but ate and drank
heartily, and as he closely watched the
others about him committed no faux pas.
He afterwards told the President that he
thought the wine very fine and en-
joyed it.

Snow as Red as Blood.
San Francisco Can.

Alta meeting of the MicroscopIcal So
ciety held on Monday evening, Dr. Hank.
ness presented a bottle of ''red snow"
which he gathered last June on the Wa
satch Mountains. The red snow was
found on the north side of a spur which
rose about ten feet above the sea level.
When fresh the snow had the appearance
of being drenched with blood, as though
some large animal had been killed. The
red snow is caused by the presence of a
one celled plant called protococcus nj
wallis, which reproduces itself by subdi-
visision, that is the cell di-
vides itself into several new cells. This
is done with great rapidity, aud few
cells lodged in the snow under favorable
circumstances, soon Will give it the ap-
pearance called red snow.
1t was remarked that the phenomenon
of red snow had been observed from the
earliest times, as Aristotle has passage
which is thought to refer to it. The
subject was, however, lost sight of until
brought up by the investigations of Sau-
sure, who found it on the Alps in 1850.
He made chemical tests which showed
him that the red color was due to the
presence of vegetable matter, which he
supposed might be the pollen of some
plant. In 1919 an Arctic expedition
under Captain Ross brought some speci-
mems from the cliffs around Baffin's Bay,
and they were examined by eminent
botanists, some of whom mistook the
nature of the plant, and there was long
discussion as to its proper classification,
some holding it to be fungus, some a
lichen; but it was finally set at rest as
one of the unicellular alg@.
1t is of interest also that some of the
early examiners pronounced the color
due to animalcules, but this was dis
proved. Dr. Hardness said that during
his last visit to England he saw the orr
ginal bottle of specimens brought from
the Arctic more than sixty years before,
aud in which the pr0tococcus could still
be seen with the microscope.

The Heavens Full of Extinct Stars.

OFT OOITt LUOOOce, OF England.
Like the sand of the sea, the stars of
heaven have ever been used as effective
symbols of number and the improve
ments in our methods of observations
have added fresh force to our original
impressions. We now know that our
earth is but a fraction of one out of at
least rs, 900, 600 worlds. But this is not
all. In addition to the luminous heaven
lY bodies, we cannot doubt that there
are countless others, invisible to us from
their greater distance, smaller size, or
feebler light; indeed we know that there
are many dark bodies which now emit
no light or comparatively little. Thus
in the case of ProcyOn, the exist
ence of an invisible body is proved
by the movement of the visible star.
nomena presented by AlgOl, a bright
star in the head of Medusa. This star
shines without change for two days and
thirteen hours; then, in three hours and
half, dwindles from a star of the sec
Ond to one of the fourth magnitude; and
then, in another three and half hours,
reassumes its original brilliancy These
changes seem certainly to indicate the
presence of an Opaque body which inter-
cepts at regular intervals part of the
light emitted by Algol.
Thus the floor of Heaven is not only
"thick inlaid with patines of bright
gold" but studded also with extinct
stars-Once probably as brilliant as our
own sun; but now dead cold, as Helm
boltz tells us that our sun itself will be.

Wall Street Methods.

Grace COurtIGnd IN Ne1o York Truth, Marcia
The oldest and best informed dealers
in stocks have good reason to affirm that
we have fallen on sorry times. The day
was when the fluctuations of securities
had some basis in fact, and the rise and
fall of values depended more or less
upon legitimate conditions. That day
is not entirely of the past, though
the casual observer of the market
might be led to believe all things
are possible to the creator and
manipulation of Wall street values. AS
the profits of speculation must come
from outside the Stock Exchange, it is
fair to presume that the general public
are the natural feeders of the market.
and that without this aid the board
would be compelled to close its doors.
l do not hesitate to affirm that the stock
market has within my memory degen-
Grated from a legitimate speculation to a
vulgar gamble. This fact is to be de-
plored, for it is slowly but surely driving
from the field the outside interests on
which the market depends.
Quotations do not represent transac-
tions, and the amount of sales reported
ness. The destructives system of "washed
sales" has brought every member of the
Exchange into disrepute 1t is utterly
impossible to estimate, with any show of
correctness, how far sales are actual or
fictitious. Who believes that there were
$13, 900, 900, 900 of hard cash passed
through the brokers' hands during 1881?
Thirteen times the amount of the entire
circulating medium of the United States
in and out of the Exchange in one year,
l would like to ask you how much of
them was bogus.
The dealings within the stock board of
to day are much like the fortunes drawn
in the lottery swindles. The number and
amount are there, but all on paper. 1t
thus becomes only an effort of will to
mark up stock between a given num-
Der of brokers without a single actual
sale or purchase. If the outsider is
foolish enough to be tempted into a buy
he deserves to be bitten.
