Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1886-05-01

A New York artist has produced sim
pie design for heating entirely by gas at
a mere nominal expense. 1t is we'll
known fact that gas throws off no
smoke, SCOT, or dirt. The artist filed a
brazier with chunks of colored glass
md placed several jets beneath. The
glass soon became heated sufficiently to
thoroughly warm room 10x30 feet in
size. This design does away with the
necessity for necessity for chimneys,
since there is no smoke; the ventilation
may be had at the window. The heat
may be raised or lowered by simply reg
ulating the flow of gas.
The colored glass gives all the appear
ance of fire; there black pieces to repre-
sent coal, red chunks for flames, yellow
ISL white glass for white heat, blue glass
for blue flames, and hues for all the re-
manning colors of spectrum. Invention
already is displacing the present fuels
for furnaces and cooking ranges, and
glass doing away with delay and such
disagreeable objects as ashes, kindling
wood, etc.-Scientifc American.

The Colorinc Matter in Cochineal.

Experiments have been made by Lieb-
ermann, who states that cochineal does
not contain more than 10 per cent. of
pure coloIing matter. Cochineal car
mine is kind of lake very similar to
turkey red lake, and contains a large
amount of alumnia and lime combined
with heterogeneous matter. A CONNER
cial sample of very good quality was
found to contain II per cent water, 90
per cent, heterogeneous matter, per cent.
ash, and Sc per cent. coloring matter.

The Horses Petition.


Whilst making an earnest appeal to
the public on behalf of the cab-drivers,
Lord Hampden also appealed to tn,
cab-drivers on behalf of their horses
commencing to their best consideration
the following lines, entitled, THE
Horse Petition to His Driver" which
lis lordship said he had always made a
point of having hung up in his OWL
stables:
Up hill-whip me not
Down hill-hurry me not.
On level road-spare me not.
Loose in stable forget me not
Ot hay and ccrn-rob me not
Of clean water-stint me nor
With sponge and brush-neglect me not.
OF soft dry bed-deprive ma not.
Tired or hot-leave me not.
Sick or cold-chill me not.
With bit and reins--O, jerk me not.
Whom you are angry-striks me not.

Introduction of Cattle Into America.

The first herd of cattle known ON the
continent of America was brought by
Columbus on his second voyage. From
these, and from other small herds
brought by later Spanish navigators, the
wild cattle of South America descended.
In 1853 the Portuguese took cattle and
hogs to Newfoundland and Nova Scotia.
The Canadian cattle were introduced in
1908. In 1920 Virginia had 500 head of
cattle. The most stringent laws were
passed prohibiting the killing Of any do
nestle animal. In New England cattle
were introduced in 1924. 1t is said that
for time price was regulated by color,
a red calf being cheaper than a black
one because it was more likely to be mis-
taken by the wolves for q deer and
killed.-Chicago Times.

Sunshine in Sea Water.
lChicnCo Journal

Experiments by means of photo
graphic plates in the Mediterranean
show that in the middle of sunny day
in March the rays of the sun are un-
able to penetrate the water of that sea
to depth much beyond $50 fathoms.
In September the distance is reduced.
The depression at this depth on the
Photographic plate is not equal to that
made by starlight.

sunshine Put 20 an ODD Use.

Sunlight has been put to odd use at
Brussels. Falling on a small shaft the rays
cause an upward draught of air which
sets fan in motion, and that in turn
starts machinery that winds a clock.

SEARCHING FOE HIS RELATIVES.

During all of these years, from the time he
ran away from home, he had never heard a sin
gle word from his mother or her family, though
NJ exhausted every means of acquiring news.
His having done so at last came about in an
equally interesting manner. Last month he re-
ceived a copy of the Coneiave souvenir book,
issued by J. C. Bloomfield of this city. The
name Bloomfield made an impression upon him,
Nom the fact that he remembered that his
father had been employed by a firm with such a
name. or one very similar, and one of the little
B.oomfields had been his playmate. He wrote
at onee to Mr.. Bloomfield making inquiries
about the matter, but that gentleman was not
the one for whom he was searching and could
tell him nothing. He, however, sent the letter
to J. w. Bloomfield, a salesman for the Valley
Distilling Company, of this city. who remem-
bered the Millers. but could furnish no adj
dresses. Mr.. Bloomfield, however, consulted
with Silas Benedict, in the fire-alarm office, who
had also known The brothers as boys in st.
Louis, and was referred to James Murray, Sec
rotary of the Union Mutual Insurance Com
pany, of this city. The gentleman supplied a
younger brothers address, Norfolk, Neb.
Letters were Immediately exchanged between
the two brothers, when for the first time the
California brother learned of the death of his
parents and one of his brothers. But of his
sister Jennie he could secure no tidings. His
brother Rome could tell him nothing about
her save that she had left St.-L0uis for New
Orleans in 1860 in company with her father,
who died in a short time afterwards, and she
mad never been heard from since. The two
brothers are now very anxious to ascertain the
whereabouts OF their sister, II Sne De Stlll Nv
ing, or if dead some reliable information con-
corning her. Their mother, who married after
the death of her first husband, died in 1868,
leaving two boys by her second marriage, James
and Thurs.on Wishart.
THE YOUNGER BROTHER.
The career of Rome, the younger brother, is
also a story of pluck and hard work, in which
he has come out successful. AT the time of his
mothers death he was u years of age. From
then until bis 18th year he supported himself
by various kinds of work. He then went West.
After six months stay in Sioux City, Ia, he
took up a homestead in Dakota, which he still
owns. He afterwards removed to Nebraska,
where he married and engaged in the fancy
grocery business at Fremont. There, through
the influence of prominent railroad men, he
was given charge of the railroad hotel, of which
he is now proprietor.
The two brothers, who are still stopping at
the st. James, have made arrangements TO erect
a tombstone over the graves of their mother
and brother, Robert, who died in Leadville,
Col, both of whom were buriedin Bellefontaine
| Cemetery. Rome said to a Globe Democrat re-
porter last night that he recognized his brother
at first glance from his great resemblance to The
dead Robert. They will spend some time
together in Nebraska to make up for their long
separation.

ELEPHANTS ON A R~AMPAGE.-0ne of the
ferry-boats came very near being wrecked,
or at least d"ismantled, by the elephants be-
longing to a ireus which exhibited here
lately. The huge beasts made such 8 row
on the steamer that an employee on the
vessel, whose business It is to look after the
fabrication of the machinery, climbed up
from the oilroom and cautiously opened the
door to see what was going on. As the
the door was silently being pushed open
one of the enraged elephants struck it with
his trunk. The door was broken into
pieces, and the unlucky GILMAN was
knocked off the iron ladder fully sixteen
feet into the hold. The bar on the boat
was open for business and one of the ele-
plants got an idea that he was a temper
ance advocate. He backed up slowly against
the bar until every timber in it creaked
and groaned. The man in charge beat
q hasty retreat through a small side
door. When he had disappeared the ele-
plant turned around and amused himself
by breaking the bottles and glasses. The
woodwork of the steamer was damaged by
the elephants to the extent of atleast s.. 200.
Several of the assistant keepers were hurt,
one having an arm and leg broken, and an
other being placed on the retired list with
four left ribs fractured.-S. +. Chronicle,

REPUBLICANS. RALLY.

The Republican who has faith in the
principles of his party ought not in the
current campaign to "house up" He
owes it TO himself and the party to make
his faith manifest by his works. There is
something more to be done than going to
the polls on election day. Every sincere
Republican ought to be a missionary for
his cause, and labor to bring his douhting
neighbor over to the proper view of local,
State and national political issues. What
is needed now is the working Republican,
the PROSECUTING, club joining, meeting
attending Republican. Government be-
gins in the party councils. The honest
party man will not leave these councils to
be peopled by the few or the designing.
There is strength in association. Faint
hearted citizens are given courage to with
stand political assaults and wiles by the
elbow touch of others of their party. There
is physical as well as moral strength in
the surrounding of Republicans by other
Republicans. Active manifestations by
Republicans in campaign work has a de-
cidedly repressiye effect upon the Democ-
racy. The Democratic politician is con-
tent if the Republican stays at home and
leaves the club and the mass meetings to
languish. Let every Republican who feels
that he is in the party from political con-
viction do his best to furnish motive
power to the legitimate party machinery.
There must be organization within the
party in all campaigns, and the stronger
and more aggressive this is the better the
results. We hope to see the Republicans
of Sacramento " from this on alive to the
proselyting spirit. Assured strength in
this county should not tempt us to relax
our efforts to make the aggregate vote for
the party as large as is possible in State as
well as county. There is no excuse this
year for anything like apathy. Let every
earnest Republican voter from this hour
forward deal blows for the party until a
complete victory is won.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Miss Lillian Smith, the celebrated Cali
fornia rife shot, denies That she is married,
and she must be in a position to know.
There never was a time in Sacramento
county before when the office so sought the
man, as among our Democratic brethren at
the present time. The hunt discounts q
FIX chase.
John P. Irish and Mr.. McPike addressed
the Democracy of Woodland last night.
Mr.. Irish grappled with the task of proving
that protection does not protect, but that
free trade does while Mr.. McPike sought
TO capture those who believe in unlimited
silver coinage, by demonstrating that when
our Democratic President stated in his
public letter upon silver, that there should
be no more silver coined, he was only
Joking, and what he really meant was, that
the coinage of silver should absolutely be
free and unlimited. These were the lines
of argument to which the faithful of
Yolo were invited TO tumble.
Ifitis truethat the death Of Emory Storrs,
of Chicago, which occurred about a year
ago, was caused by poison administered in
some manner, as nov believed, by ballot
box suffers, whom he was prominent in
prosecuting, the establishment of that fact
will materially aid in educating the public
mind TO the necessity OF making any and
all unlawful interference with the Ameri-
can ballot an act of highest crime against
thepeople, and blackesttreason to the State.
w are fast coming to the point of necessity
for such laws, if we are to preserve our pres
ent form OF government and the institutions
over which we so fondly boast. And in
this connection it is in point to remark,
that ballot-box stuting is but one step re-
moved, in effect, from the political . boss, -
and is the natural product of his existence
and operations.
