ALL OVER THE WORLD.
An Astonished Editor What He Saw and
What He SAYS.


From Greenland's Icy Mountains to Africas
Sunny Strand,
BALTIMORE. MD.-The Daily Evening
News publishes the following editorially:
At the time the New York Herald, with
characteristic generosity, gave the princely
sum OF 100000 to a relief fund, for the
sufferers from famine in Ireland, one OF
the most distinguished literary men of
America contributed to to the Art Auto
graph, published for the benefit of that
fund, the following note:
when a distressed nation appeals for
this or that or the other grace or help, she
hears an answering voice of sympathy
from this or that or the other creed or
group or faction, scattered here and there
and yonder in the space of the earth; it
is only when she asks for bread that creed
and party are forgotten, and the whole
world rises to respond"
While recognizing the force of this SEN
timent, the experience which member of
our editorial staff had yesterday, furnishes
unmistakable evidence of the fact that the
want of bread-that famine-is not the
only thing which causes the ''whole world
to rise, and by united action to record en-
thusiastic endorsement of a laudable meas
ure or object. The conviction was occa-
stoned by a visit to a commercial enter
prise, of which, although much has been
said and written, the writer confesses he
knew nothing from personal experience,
prior to his Investigations. The following
facts are presented cheerfully, in the belief
that they are not only of real public inter
so encouraging to our local pride, as to
demonstrate beyond all doubt, that the
agency in question is the most remarkable
of its kind known in the history of scien-
tific discovery.
Doubtless every inventor and every
manufacturer of even an Indifferent arti-
Gle can, without serious difficulty, enlist a
certain amount of local and general influ-
ence in support of his products-on the
same principle, perhaps, that every politi-
cal aspirant has some followers-but the
proofs here under consideration are SO
positive, and considering the high sources
| supplying the following statements, they
| are so extraordinary and conclusive, that
no sane man can doubt that the express
sions were called forth by really marvel
ons degree of excellence and power.
Here Congress of Nations, composed
of distinguished leaders in public, mer-
camille, and social circles of all sections OF
the world, and in part of eminent profes.
sional men, whose conversation in matters
of this kind is well known, basing their
expressions upon actual experiments and
observations, voluntarily, join in public
praise so high and unqualified as to set al
rest all doubts and prejudices, to silence
skeptics, and to carry conviction to every
| fair-minded man.
| When our representative examined the
originals of the following forcible docu
ments, he was, as above indicated, sc
struck with their extraordinary character
that he concluded to present them to ouI
readers, as q matter of public interest
This, as before stated, is done cheerfully
and of our own accord.
