An Ever-Present Danger to Our Great
Bridge Structures.
indianapolis Cor New York Times.l
For fourteen years State Geologist CoIlett
has been experimenting upon theory that
the best OF iron, when subjected 10 a con
tinuous strain, would undergo changes in its
structure which would, after time, render
its use dangerous, and that these structural
changes We're the explanation Of many other
wise inexplicable accidents, particularly to
railway bridges. He has lately undertaken
Il systematic investigation, which has re-
suited in a confirmation of his theory.
For experiment he took from the Wabash
dam, at Delphi, number of bolts and
spikes which were when the dam was con
structed, of the best quality of malleable
bar iron, as is shown by the gathering of the
head when they were put into the structure
OF these bolts and spikes he found that 70
per cent. of the whole number were as weak
as cast IRON while 80 per cent of those
which were near the bottom of the dam
wore worthless; yet, of those which were
rotten, the tips were inserted i'll imm Dvable
rocks, We're tibrous and strong. Whel
broken they showed polished ends to the CON
meeting tibreS, indicating that the continued
vibrations of many years had polished and
rounded the points Of fiErous structure A
similar effect i; found in the partings' or
"horsebhcks' in coal mines, which become
polished and strated by the continuous
quveI and motion of the crust of the earth.
Or. Collett says that all car axles, after II
reasonable run, become crystallized two
thirds of the length from the hub and one
third from the outside extremity, rendering
them worthless. On one Indiana railroad
bri sc he found that the bottom parts of the
vertical strain pieces were crystalliZed for
from two to four feet i'll length, and, as a
prccdution against what would inevitably
have caused u great catastrophe, they were
replaced Tie mattar is one of great inter
est to railways, ana the specimens which DR.
Collajt has collected in his experiments are
to be sent to the Stevens Institute of
Technology, where an investigation of tn
| subject has been i'll progress for several

THE NOMINAL CHRISTIANS.

From alrost every Minister cf the
city Of Albany, | have heard the fol-
loving complaints
But little or no revival interest small
congregations and p,or pay.
AVeIl, whats the trouble, and who
is it. The Pastor or the people?
First, there seems to be no effort
made by the Church for the salvation
of those about US. Well, is this not
due from the fact, that two thirds, if
not three fourths of cur members are
nominal Chris:iansl Dead TO the Lord
and his church, aud alive to the Dsvil
and the world, and thus cIogging wheels
of the car of salvation, to that extent
the Pastor and his faithful few arc un-
able to move onwards. And are we
not on the eve of shipwreck? Breth-
rem, We have pulled long and hard
against the angry billows, .nd is it not
time, that The sleeping Jonahs should
go to the waves and the fishes? And
then, we haye small congregations, and
wei, we won't say any thing about the
support, for preachers live by breathing,
and it is SO very hard for many of our
members to get to church on Sabbath
morning. They seem 50 very tired, ADD
the weather is SO extremely warm, and
then the preacher, ne breaches SO long,
and he ia uncutured, Chat il, he has
none of the Devils whitwash. Yes.
they will grumble if the sermon is more
than thirty minutes long. And sup
pose you look about you on the 18th Of
Aug. { speak 20 the non-professor,
and see how many of this class can pay
to sit for two hours and witness pack
of foolisLness with pleasure. 'sDon't
condemn Christianity for what yon see,
but try the Spirits and see whether
they are Of God.

BIS. Democrat
wish to draw attention to point
which | have not seen noticed in cou.
nection with the question Of tho pro-
posed extra session of the Legislat tive
asssmoly.
IL is this: Should The Governor
issue his call for the extra session aud
more than one-ihird Of the members of
either house refuse to attend, what
would be- the result
The constitution requires the pres
ence Of quorum-which is two
thirds Of all the members elected TO
either house---before any business can
be done.
In the absence of a quorum neither
house could organize and elect officers.
And / submit, that un'ees conslitu.
tional quorum should attend voIun-
tarily the Legislative session would be
complete fzzle.
1t may be suggested that less than q
quorum may adjourn from day TO day
and send officers to bring in absent
members but they cannot elect m
officer until quorum meets.
/ deem il the duty " every Demo
cratic member and anti-macbine Re.
publican to refuse TO attend the propos
ed session, if one be held.
Republicans may attempt to disguis'
it, but every intelligent person know
that the interests of the state do not re
quire the extra session.
Gov. Moody aud the Republican
party will be- hell regponsibls for th,
extra session, should he call il, and
am pleased to know that nearly all th,
Democratic papers are CUT sp3ken il
their opposition to it.
/ hope that the .Staniari under il
new management will have the coarag
to denounce the proposed session, anc
will not be afraid to crilicise such mel
as Mitchell, Dolpb, Hirsch and Co.
when criticism is m:rited.
In this part of the state Dsnocratl
feel greatly the need Of vigorous, dali,
journal, free from all railroad encum
brances and Republican entangiements
and they hope tha. the new manage
ment will make the Standard such
paper.

SWAMP LANDS.

Toe people Of Grant and Klamath
counties viii be much interested In q
recent decision by Secretary Lamar
In a swamp land case from California;
IL ought to strike terror to the souls
Of the swamp land flends OF Oregon.
After setting on. the facts and citing
the statutes Oh the subject, the secre-
tary says: ga careful consideration
OF all the evidence shows that the
said tract Is subject to periodical over
flows in the winter or spring months,
bat the overflow subsidies so as not 10
render the land unfit for cultivation
by reason OF the overflow. The land,
therefore, is not swamp and overflow
ed land within the meaning OF the
swamp land act, and the claim OF the
state must be rejected" This decis.
ion will cause to revert to the public
domain nine-tenths Of what has been
gobbIed in this state under the swamp
land act.-E1.

oUR Majority.

With this issue The DEMooRAT enters
upon tho twsnsy-second year Of It's ex-
istence. Like young man who has
passed from parental authority to the
responsibilities Of manhood, we feel .
modest pride in having reached our
majority. The greatest part Of the his
tory and progress Of Albany and Linn
County is blended with the history Of
the DEMocRAr. From the incipiency
TO the present, the DRMocRAT has been
the untaiteving and devoted friend and
promoter Of the best interest Of city
and county. The fact is indisputablc
that every enterprise calculated TO bnild
NJ the county and city has received
theindividual support Of the DEMocRAT
Upon this ground Of business obligation
We feel that we may consistently appeal
to every farmer, merchant, mechanic
laboring man, and all who are benefited
by the general progress Of the country
for support. As a mere investmen
every family in the county could vel
afford to invest small yearly sum il
subscription to the DEMoCRAT. w
give as much reading matter in ever
issue of the DEMocRAT as will be ioun'
in an ordinary fifty cent book. Sc
that, to buy as much reading matter il
the shape of cheaply bound books as
contained 10 one years issue of th
DEMOCRAT one would have to expen,
$25 to $50. Let every subscriber c
the DEMoCRAr then obtain one ne'
subscriber aud we will thus be enable
to make the DENocRAT a better paper
aud more potent in promoting the be'
interests Of county, town and city.
