Dead Heats--PhOtOgraphy in Deciding
Races.

The "dead heat" in which the French
Derby race of last month resulted, the
judges not being able to determine
which of the horses first passed them,
draws from an English writer the prop
osition to use photography for determin-
ing their relative position at the end of
the race. "By means of single thread
stretched across the track, and invisible
to either horses or rides, twenty photo
graphic camera" he says, "have been
to record spontaneously positions I'M
possible for the eye to recognize" The
suggestion seems to be practicable as a
means of setting at rest any dispute
question as to the relative positions of
competing horses when ocular Judge
ment isat fault, with the aid of photo
graphy astronomers persue the most
complex investigations as to the rela-
tives position of moving. bodies, and
there is no reason why the camera
could not easily be made to record
unerringly the winner of what other
wise might be an undecided race. This
writer ventures the prediction that in
the near future photography will be
invoked for this purpose in all important
races.-EG.

ing up stalks preparatory to blooming.
One upon q ranch in Sonoma Valley,
on the west side near the foothills,

about to bloom, and will be in their
prime next week. A mammoth CEN
fury plant, which has been for years on
farm in the San Gabriel Valley, will
blossom soon. The plant spreads over

THE current year is one 10 be re-
membered for its disastrous storms
and its casualties with loss of life. For
a month past death from drowning
seems to have been epidemic, and
every day swells the list upon lake and
river. Whether the general electric
condition of the atmosphere makes
men reckless, science does not reveal,
but the restlessness of the public mind
and its unsettled condition IS in marked
keeping witA the changeable and I'M
certain elements, and would seem to
indicate that it was an effect from
cause. Not the less remarkable are
the large number of suicides and muir
ders, without the usual melting causes,
and characterized by more than COM
mon fiendishness. While we may not
fathom the mysteries of such a condi-
ton, and speak of them as incidents
and accidents and fatalities, yet after
all there may be some explanation to
these wof1l experiences. Whether ex-
planned or not, thoughtful people will
ponder upon the lessons day by day
received, and mark the year as one re-
markable in the calendar.

A Philadelphia correspondent of the
New York Herald gives the following
points on the democratic situation in
Pennsylvania:
Returning to the democratic side Of
the political fence, we find among the
ranks of that party's voters the same
clearly developed antipathy TO states
and bosses Wallace and Randall
have been wise TO bury the hatchet,'
however i'll the grace with which it has
been done. The ex-speaker has recent
ly, on several occasions, declared that
he has no preferences for places on the
ticket that are strong enough for him
to urge. An effort was made about
week ago to start him on the track for
governor, but he at once put stopper
on the movement by declaring that he
was not and could not tie induced TO
take place on the ticket. His reasons
are Clear enough, even had he not sus-
pected that his name was suggested by
influences inimical to him sor the very
purpose Of precipitatipg II discussion
of his presidential ambitions. Mr.. Ran
dall's grip on his own cog 'essional dis
trict is so firna that he is certain Of
reelection, and, in the not improbable
event of democratic ascendency in the
house, his chances for the speasership
are equal TO any mans. Such pros
pect, even with all its contingencies, is
no doubt preferable to a certainty of
his selection as governor of Pennsylva-
MIA, could such thing be guaranteed.
1t would be interesting indeed TO find
some responsible statesman who would
take the contract TO elect the next gov
ernor of this state; even in the face Of
boosted confidence, felt among the
democratic leaders, is shown in the linn
tied number of candidates who APP
pear.
