Letter From Washington,

WASHINGTON, January 10, 1886.
EDITOR CLARION: Congress has been
persisteutly irrelevant this week. Both
senators and representatives have shown
an Irresistible INCLINATION 90 ignore bust.
meas and deliver speeches on pet subjects.
On one day the Senate listened to three
orations on totally dissimilar measures
silver, art and the army. Senator Man.
derson called attention TO his bill for
building up the army Senator Blair AK =
ed that monuments he erected to Lincoln
and Grant, and Senators Pugh and Vance
advocated continued coinage of the silver
dollar,
EI.Gov Curtins resignation Of the
Chairmanship of the Banking and Cur.
reney Committee, and Senator Ingalls,
coinage resolution are the prominent
financial features of the week at the Capi.
toll MIR Curtin's action, which was ante
lpated, brings an extreme silver man. Rep
resentative Miller of Tex, to the head
OF this committee, and tho Senator
from Kansas proposes to continue the
present coinage OF silver until limit
has been reached of $500 900 900. At the
present rate OF coinage, S2,000,0 900 a
month, 1t would take fifteen years from
date TO reach this amount. In declining
the position TO which he Was assigned Mr..
Curtin said he Was not lacking in appre.
clauon OF the honor conferred upon him

escape the conviction that the tastes
and experiences Of his public life were
not such rs fitted him to serve in that
position with satisfaction to himself
or with usefulness TO the House.

IN good ustured reference to the admin.
istration's silver policy said that ON this
subject, both parties allowed differences Of
opinion within their ranks. On next Mon.
day the silver question will be formally
presented IN the Senate for consideration
and then talk on silver which has been
gwen out SO freely OF late, will be relevant
IN that end of the Capitol at least.

OF the hardness OF the House in rettips
down TO business, aud of the tendency ~
members to speak in season and out npon

The recentpersonalities between Logan and his assailants-certain Senators-have amused the Cham Der very much. A Democratic Sen ator, whom it would be hardly fair to name, said to me o-dsy: "Du- ring the late campaign Puck rep resented Gen. Logan as a large Newfoundland dog. The idea was an excellent one. Did you notice how he lowered above Teller, Hale and Plumb a few minutes sgoi His only mistake was in replying to them. Let him wait until the rival candidates for the Presiden- tial nomination begin to assail him. Then he will have an opportunity to show the sturdy stuff that's in him. All these covert attacks on Logan mean much more than ap- pear on the surface. I think the Senator fully understands their import and their inspiring source." IN. Y. Herald. Hf

A school for Volapuk has been opened in Paris, and its conferen- ces have been attended by many city celebrities of all classes. Vola- puk, as is known, is the new com mercial language invented by NJ. Schleyer of Constance in 1881. It comprises 13,O00 words, and is made up of roots taken from the Latin, English, French, and Ger
 man languages, md is intended by its advocates to supersede all other languages as a commercial medium of information. The words are mostly monosyllables, and all useless consonants are sup pressed. There are Volapuk sch ools at Rouen, Bordeaux, Roche fort, and Tunis. Seventy associa- tions are engaged in the propa- ganda in both hemispheres, and Volapuk dictionaries have been published in English, French, Ger man, Portuguese, and Russian, and one is being prepared in Chi nese. But the Orientals, who write by signs instead of Roman characters, will be at a disadvan- tage in acquiring the new language. Volapuk is greatly studied in Hol- land. and IS fast developing into . craze there. A Volapuk congress will be held next year at Nurem- berg, and an international assem- ply of yolapukists are to assemble in Paris in 1889.

NEW VARIETY OF WHEAT.

Mir. John Guiliani's crop of wheat is heading out and the stalks are from four to five feet in height There is something peculiar about this wheat. It is a variety un- known to any of the farmers of the valley, and was discovered by MT. Guiliani two years ago growing wild on the bank of a ditch. He was walking along the ditch and came upon solitary stalk of this wheat It's peculiar appearance attracted his attention, and upon examining it he discovered that the one stalk contained several heads, winch grew in a cluster around the base of the central or mother head. He found the grams were large and white, and looked as though they would make beau tiful flonr. He took the heads home with him and carefully shell led out the grains, the product from which was three ounces. As soon as the proper season arrived he planted them, and found that from each grain planted forty to sixty stalks sprung up. When the grain rIpened he got ten pounds of sesd from it. The next year he planted the ten pounds and got six hundred pounds of seed in re- turn. This year he planted the six hundred pounds, and the ap- peazanee of the crop. now heading out leads him to believe that he will get 15;G00 pounds in return. As soon e be shall have harvested and threahad the grain he will send samples of it to the Italian mill at San Eraneisco. to ascertain whether or not it xill make good maccaroni four He thinks it will excel for this pH1pSse any variety of wheat he ever SEW, and also that it will make superi0r flour for bread. It is eertainlg a wonder fal mnltiplier, and xe would be pleased to have some expert tell us where it come from and to which branch of the wheat family it belongs.-Arizona Enterprise

smeIting Capnclty or Furnaeea-

Tine water jacket furnacesan.rss ~on IEs coast are generally round butso1ne are oblong, and general, sly .4ehg have uniformly sloping fsiGas. The e4hantity of ore aijack- stdtsEyer~si.e will sme2t depends npox tha feasibility Of the charge, the strength. of tdee blast, and the supply of water. The thres-foot round jacket isnaRaiiy designated a 30-ton furnace Under exception ally dissdssatagsous circumstan- , ees, 5 siurnace of that size will sHstii snIy 30 tons; but with fair ore and good management, as at the Copper Queen. Arizona, and elsewhere, it smelts 45 to 50 tons 8 day. On the very fusihle ore of the Old Gl0he mine, at Globe, Ar izona, as mKeh as 56 tons day have been put through athree-foot furnace, and even this quantity has been exceeded by a furnace at the Verde.
 Unless the ore is refractory, MT. James Douglas, Jr. considers that 45 tons of mixture should be smell ted under blast of 10-12 ounces, produced by 100 to 115 revolutions of a No, 4 Baker blower, proyided the, supply of water is ample. The latter condition is essential. To keep three foot furnace cool under high blast from 37,000 to 40,0OO gallons of cool water must be passed through the jacket daily under a head of not less than 10 feet.
 Round furnaces of greater di- ameter than three feet, if the ere is favorable, will smelt more than smaller ones, though not generally in proportion to their area Ob- long furnaces, whose shorter diam eter does not exceed three feet, come nearer to the duty of the small round furnace, area for area,
  than do large round furnaces. If the ore is not free smelling, fur nacs of greater diameter than three feet is very liable to become deranged with the formation of a core. If, however, the mixture is fusible. and does not contain much fps- ore, the blast of Q blower of No. A will penetrate to the center of 8 four-foot furnace, though No. 6 is preferable where furnaces of that size are used.
 The advantage of a small fur mace over large one is that it is more manageable, and if it be- comes hopelessly deranged it can be blown out with less cost than a large one. On the other hand, the record of the Detroit large rectan- gular furnace, according to Mir. Douglas. shows slight saving in fuel over the small furnaces, though this is not the case with the large ronnd furnace of the Ari- zona Copper Company. Up to a certain point the staff necessary to handle the charges and slag of a small furnace would handle Q somewhat larger quantity. ty. There is therefore always ar economy in this item, but unless the ore is very fusible and invari- able in its contents this advantage is more than balanced by liability to derangement.-Nining and S,iont,Ge pross

Aerial navigation has been pro- nounced a eenpiete success. Cap tain Kennard, a French scientist, made seven voyages in 1SS4-5 at- taining a speed of thirteen miles an hour. His balloon was eighty four metres in diameter by fifty metres long, and answered its helm completely. A balloon fifty feet in diameter the Doctor believes, can be propelled twenty miles an hour.
