A Lung Four Feet Long.
NeM Ynrl, Sun.

A chemical lungp is the latest
thing proposed for the ventilation
of tunnels. 1t was lately tested in
London by fourteen scientists. "A
room fifteen by eighteen feet was
kept for an hour at a temperature
of so degrees, and the air was loaded
with impurities. The men of science
were now called upon to enter, and
the air was made still more impure
by burning sulphur and carbonic
acid gas. Then the chemical
lung" or punkah, so called, measur-
ing 4 by y feet, was set in motion.
The temperature was soon reduced
to IS degs., and the air freed from all
impurities. Then fat was burned to
test the machine for organic sub
stances, and the "lung'' was started
up just in time to prevent the exam
lining gentleman from running out
for fresh air. 1t is proposed to use
the invention during the construc-
tion of the Channel tunnel.

Every established local newspaper

but which the New York Times

become rich at the business, says his
rule is, that when he sells bill of

tises literally and vigorously, be

contract his advertising space, he
took the fact as evidence that there
was trouble ahead, and invaribly
went for the debtor. Said he, 1.-THE
man that is too poor to make his
business known is too poor to do

advertisement is evidence of weak
ness that business men are not slow
to act upon.

The malnllam Treaty.

The Republic an ablyedited 'rish-Ameri-
comes to therescue of Mr.. Parnell, and de-
tends that understanding between the Irish
leader and the English premier now known
as s'the treaty Of Kilmainham. The Repub-
lie maintains that it is unjust as well as un-
generous TO charge Mr.. Parnell with an in
tention of surrendering to the ministry OF
abating one jot of the original demand. But
there was chance to repair the damages
caused by the agitation before moving on for
the next step. This fact Mr.. Parnell saw and
realized. and from motives of the highest and
most enlightened craftsmanship, as well as
from motives of humanity and commisera-
ton for the poor tenant farmers who were
being ground between the Two mill-stones
of 'sno rent and landlordism, he resolved
TO take advantage of the improved condition
of public opinion, and secure for the tenants
the first substantial installment of the fruits
of the land movement. The Republic forci-
bly, points out this phase Of the case, while
admitting that mistakes have been made, and
its plea for kinder and more considerate
Judgment on the actions of the leaders, in
the face of terrible calamity, which almost
drove them into an abandonment of the
whole movement, should find prompt and
generous response in the heart of every hon
est, decent, patriotic Irishman in America.
The fact is Mr.. Parnell is in a condition to
do more for Ireland than any other leader of
the Land League, and his hands should be
held up. But few more foul murders like
that done Thursday will make him power
less and ruin the country for which he is
making SO brave stand.

AMONG the provisions of international
law there is not one to make the counter
feiting in one country of the money or secu-
rites of another, ipso facto, crime. New
York has long concealed a nest of rascals
engaged in manufacturing South American
currency, and considerable money has been
spent by Brazil and other countries in I'M
successful efforts to break it up. Our~Gov-
eminent, though well-dsposed, can do little
Oh account of the want of enactments to
cover the offense. Precisely the same diff
Guilty seems to exist as between certain
South American States themselves. Thus,
the Buenos Ayres Herald publishes de-
cision of court of the Argentine Republic
60 the effect that inasmueh as the Bolivian
'scuatros' are not legal tender in the repub-
lie, their counterfeiting is not punishable,
no law having expressly made the counter
feiting of foreign money crime. Quite
likely the same result would be reached in a
similar case in Brazil, though Brazil is the
chief sufferer at the hands of New York
counterfeiters.

SOMERSET Reporter: Governor Plaisted
makes great professions of regard for what
he is pleased to term the crossroads and
back towns" to the people of which he has
said he looks for his support. 1t would be
reasonable to suppose that with his great re-
gard for the people of these towns he would
feel like regarding their wishes. But this
was not done at his convention at Bangor.
The delegates from the country towns, in
fact large part of the convention, were in
favor of nominating the four candidates for
Congress, but the bosses, one Of whom was
Governor Plaisted, decreed otherwise. ig-
nored the wishes of the very men he claims
to be the special friend OF, and forced the
convention to provide for the nomination of
congressman by districts formed SO as to
insure the nomination of at least two from
the Democratic wing. Governor Plaisted is
very willing to be the champion of the coun-
try towns when he wants their votes, but
when they desire anything that endangers
the carrying out of the secret arrangement
with the Democracy he is not anxious to
please.
