The Figures are Not Doing the Lying

The democrats should steer clear of figures
in dealing with the alleged fact that their voters
in Indiana were bought up ut So head in 1880,
They accept as true the Dorsey-Brady story that
100000 was distributed in "crisp, new So green
backs" But Gov. Porter received only little
over 100000 votes in all, and the veteran army OF
stalwart republicans, who have carried Indiana
great many times without Doney's help, could
not have required bhbing to vote their own ticket

SCIENCE FOR THE PEOPLE.
M pJcrET,s RAPID VESSEL.

N Rooul Pictet, the well-knOwn chemist,
socantlv devised steamboat from which great
tI;nns were expected in the way of speed,
tba main idea being that the vessel would rise
Ont of the water in proportion to its speed, and
that the ordinary Increase of friction at high
sneeds would thus be avoided. This vessel has
inst been tried on Lake Geneva. With q
length of about sixty seven feet and width OF
thirteen feet, the new vessel is peculiar chiefly
in having bottom that is of parabOlic form
lengthwise, the cOncavity downward trans
versely the bottom is nearly straight; the sides
are vertical. A keel reaching from about the Md
die of the length inclOses screw shaft. Among
other results NJ. Plctet shows that the force OF
traction of this vessel is always less than that
of an ordinary vessel of the same general form
and going at the same rate. The advantages
of the paraboic curve only become appa-
rent at q certain spec d, depending ON the
width, length, and tonnage, and the paraIle-
ters of the paTabolic curve. The force OF tlac-
ton passes through a maximum, at certain
velocity Tor each vessel; beyond that point,
ture of fuel, dminishes though the speed IN
creases. Experiment has yet to declde the
limits of this second period. -
The emergence of the vessel, very small Tor
small velocity, grows very quickly when
speed of five metres (say II feeO per second
has been reached and it cOnyerges rapidly
toward an upper limit. The TecOil OF the
screw for different velOcities increases to q
maximum, then constantly diminishes and
tends to become mil for an indefinite velocity:

TWO COLD POLES.

1t is now recognized that there are IN the
Northern hemisphere two poles OF cold, or TWO
places where the lowest temperature Is reached
one in the northeast of Siberia, the other III the
Arctic Archipelago of America. Ihelr geOgraph-
ical position has not been exactly defined, tut
it can be misunderstanding to Die Adtur-
that the pole of Asiatic cod is to the north OF
Yakutsk, and that of American cold to the
northwest of Parry Island. Near the Siberian
pOle. which is inland, and at a comparatively
low latitude between go and TO-, the climate
of the continent is characterized by severe
winter and hot summer; at the American
pole, in a maritime region, between 90 ana
$50 lat. the winter is mllder and the summer
cooler. -,
Till recently, Yakutsk was thought to be the
coolest place ON the earth, It's mean tempera-
ture in January being-450 but there have
been found near WerkOjansk, in Sibera, at a
latitude of 670, places with mean January
Temperature of-55o. The pole OF cold is local

ROLLING EGGS.

Having explained the scientific principles in

edge these directions for bOi,ing eggs: lake a
saucepan holding pint OF water and raise the
latter TO the boiling point Then put an egg IN
the boiling water, place the saucepan Oh the
hearth ana leave it there with the egg In 1t ten
minutes or more. An egg 80 cooked he says
will be tender and delicate, evenly so through
out, no part being hard while another part is
semi-raw and sllmy.
The same principle may be applied to lee OF
mutton. First, in oder to seal the pores, the
meat should be put into boiling water; the
water should be kept boiling tor five or ten
minutes. coating of firmly coaguated al
bumen will thus envelOp the joint Now, IN
stead of boiling or simmering the water, set
the sauce pan aside, where the water Will retain
q temperature of about 1902, or 30 below tie
boiling point. Continue this about half as
long again, OF double the usual time given In
the cookery books for boiling leg OF mutton,
and try the effect. The usual addition OF salt
to the water is desirable. Ii has theetold
action first, it directly acts on the superficial
albumen with cOagulating effect; second, 1t
slightly raises the boiling point of the water
and third, by increasing the density OF tue
water, the "exOsmOss" or Oozlng out OF the
Juices is less active. These actions are slight,
but all co operate in keeping in the juices. A
leg of mutton for boiling should be fresh, and

According TO NJ. We'll these baths require no re-
newal of organic elements, and can be used
continuously, when they are saturated with
peroxide of copper. They possess also the ad-

with the steel articles to be coated with copper
