POLITICAL.

Politics are defined as "the science
of civil government" but as generally
applied and understood, it means party
organization, OF alIiliation. In regard
to temperance, it seeks to 90 still fur
ther and pronounce as political. voting
for candidate favorable to local OPP
ton or prohibition, or humbly asking
a party to endorse the cause, or in any
wav selecting and recommending the
party or man through which and by
which the cause may succeed. The
advocates of any cause requiring legis-
latiOn have to secure it by petition,
pledges from candidates or parties, or by
party organization, with it as the lead
irg principle. And l thihk it can be
truthfully said, that no cause of such
vital interests has striVen harder to
avoid party organization than the tenn
Derance cause. In Delaware it has
petitioned for years, and at one time
with majority of the voters as signers
it has sought pledges of candidates,
asked recognition by State ConVen-
tions; but has been given the cold
shoulder by all.
Temperance men in Maine voted
down the Democratic party because il
stood in the way of the cause and they
resolved to carry their cause to sue

AN OYSTER WHIPs A DUCK.-S
rOugh-and-tumble combat between Il
wild duck and an oyster occurred in
Corpus Christi, Texas, says an ex-
change, the other day. The duck was
a large and full-grown one that recent
ly came down from the North to enjoy
our Winter climate. 1t was of the div
ing species, which inhabit the bays till
the Spring, when they return North.
When the oyster feeds it Opensits she'll

BILE. A sight Of such n morsel was too
much for the duck. He made n head
long plunge, inserting his bill between
the oysters open shell. Like flash,
and with the power of a vice, the shell
closed on the ducks beak. Then came
the struggle fOrlife. The oyster, which
was quite a large one, was dragged
from its bed, with three smaller ones
clinging to it, the cluster being heavy
enough to keep the ducks head under
water. In this way the duck drowned.
Its buoyancy was sufficient to float
with the oyster, and thus driGed near
the dock, where it was captured.
When taken out of the water the ami
NAL heat had not left the duck. The
oyster still clung to the ducks beak

A tunnel, measuring about 5000 feet

been discovered by the governor of the
Island of Samos. Herodotus mentions
this tunnel, which served for providing
the old seaport with drinking water. 1t

1t is we'll known to electricians that
the best steel makes the best permanent
magnet. But the magnetism of steel de-
pends upon how hot or how cold the

magnetism if subjected to a temperature
of 1909 below zero; it also loses its
magnetism when hetted to yellow heat
that is, between red and white heats.

coveries in the domain of dynamical
engineering continue, every man NAV
run his own conveyance at railroad
speed light his own house by electricity
and transmit 50 his descendants the very
nature and characteristics of his voice
BY a recent invention every man may
become his own telegrapher. The
Hathaway printing, telegraph and tele-
phone system, as perfected by ]. H
Linville, civil engineer, was recently
tested IN Philadelphia. The instrument
resembles the keyboard of tyne
writer and is similarly operated. The
design IS to copy the message before the
sender simultaneously with its delivery
at its destination, thus enabling the in
slant detection of any error. The
mechanism for keeping the two instru-
ments in perfect accord, whatever their
distance apart. is very simple. and the |
test was very successful. The tele-
graphers win look with dismay upon
an instrument Of such simplicity. 1t
means trouble for all that vast broth
