A genius of Rondout. New York, has
evolved from hts brain scheme 90 light
the ocean pathway. and has submitted
plans and specifications Of the idea to
the treasury department. He proposes
to place light ships at distance OF two
hundred miles, bearing electric candles
of enormous power, the electricity 70 be
supplied from shore by cable connect
Ing with each ship. Il Is g great
scheme, perhaps q little too great,
though. II is not stated just how these
ships are to bemade to stay at their ap-
pointed places, two hundred miles apart.
Sill It could be done, if the utility Of
the scheme is made apparent. If q
light ship can be successfully anchored
at points where the ocean waves are
broken into surf, they can be secured in
mid-ocean. We believe the time Is ap
preaching when ocean roads will have Z
be made and lighted.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: A recent
writer citesl the curious fact that while
all the states have stringent laws against
gambling and betting on games OF
chance, provision Is made at the same
time for deciding all ties in the vote be
tween candidates for office by lot, which
Is practically and in principle nothing
better than risking money on cards OF
dice State Legislators. JUDGES. and
even members Of the Electoral College
come within reach Of this doctrine
Possibly 1t Is as convenient and salts

The New York Sun gives us q we'll
authenticated case Of superstition In
connection with the recent election in
New York. 1t says:
A beautiful black cat, with a blue
ribbon around his. neck, and a sociable
purr, wandered into the document
room Of the democratic state committee
in West Twenty-fourth street last year,
and lived there during the campaign.
Nobody knew where he came from nor
who were his ancestors. The clerks
named HIM Grove. Everybody that
saw him knew he meant luck, and
they went out and bet on Cleveland
When Cleveland was elected the en-
ployees Of the document room, know
ing very well that the black cat did it,
fsttened him up and sent him of TO the
White house, where he lives in luxury
now.
