Mr.. JACOB r. SHIPHERD. whose name
some of our readers may remember of
having heard mentioned in connection
with Mr. Blaine's remarkable diplomacy
in SOuthAmerica, OhligeS the Associated
Press with pamphlet of nearly hun
dred pages in length containing what
he desctibes as his rejected testimony. ;
This testimony the lOng-sUffering House
Committee of Foreign Affairs positively
refused to listen to about the middle of
May last, and Mr.. Shipherd thereupon
offered it ''fOr n considerations to the
Associated Press, intimating that it
would oe found to contain certain lost
documents affecting President Gar
field. and other matters of interest. The
press wisely declined TO purchase a pig
in a poke. but if Mr.. Shipherd's object
was to get his rejected testimony read
he made a great mistake in not present
ing it theh as he now presents il to the
Associated Press. In this case the old
prOverb "better late than never. " must
be reversed. Mr.. Shepherds ''reiected
! testimony" adds absolutely nothing to
the record either of our relations with
| Chill and Peru or of the prepOste erous
claim ont of which Shipherd and his as
( sOciates extracted and developed the
huge impOsture of their Peruvian Com
pany. In fact 1t is not Testimony at
all. 1t is farrago of Shepherds opin-
ions and sentiments aboIt other people
and especially about ex-Secretary Blain.
As the committee has closed its proceed.
ings bv declining to hear a supplement
tary statement from Mr.. Blaine. the re-
jected testimony of to-day would pro-
baby entail upon the press an awful OBJ
legation to publish Blaire's rejected
testimony tomorrow. The line must
be drawn somewhere with witnesses ap-
parently SO ineXhaustible, We draw it
where the tribunal does, at rejected
testimony" Blaine is not needed tC
prove ShipheTd a wind bag norShipherd
happily to prove Blaine a wind bag.
Let us have surcese of both. and let
them pass into American history arm in

THE Washington Post is authority for the
statement that Mr. William Calver. a mining
expert, has received patent for an iuven-
tiOn which simply consists Of an arranCe-
ment whereby the rays Of the sun are reflect
ed from any number of mirrors upon a com
mon focus. Happening to direct the light
from two ordinary looking glasses tIpon the
same surface he noticed that the resultant
neat was about doubled. He proceeded
with his experiments, and succeeded IN Ie-
ducing wood TO ashes and metal to a LIQUID
state by simply concentrating upon them the
reflected light of the sun from twenty. .sma n
mirrors with fat surfaces. The principle Is
