It's NO RIuSIER.

Speaking Of the demand now being
made by Southern Kansas for a divis-
ion Of The state into two judicial dis
tricts for the holding of United States
courts, the Leavenworth Times, in re-
plying to an editorial in The FIT. Scott
Monitor. in which the last named
paper. set out that but for opposition
from Northern Kansas her new dis
trict would be created. and says:
'The Monitor is making a terrible
blu>ior over nothing. The people OF
Kansas generally are favorable 10 the
division of the state into two districts
and all this cry of robbery and the APP
pointment OF Democratic Judge
amounts 10 nothing"
From what the EAGLE knows of the
situation the Monitor is more nearly
ccrrec; in the matter than the Times
There i an opposition from some
where which has proved, so far, very
form liable. But. however that NAV
be. there is n strong demand for such
additional district and courts. There
gre nj this time seven United States
prisoners living in jail At Wichita who
must be there al least until September,
or maybe wear longer. And so II
has been going. There is entirely too
much work or one Judge. We un-
derSiand from very reliable authority
AT some of these prisoners are limo
cent # any real crime but having been
seGi up from The Territory by 4 Uni
ted states commissioner. they must
continue to lay in jail uuiil their cases
csn be reached next September if u
deel they can be reached at that time.

A Good Story.

The Court Journal of London tells
a very good Photographic yarn, which
might be true and probably is. It
says g. wealthy ironmaster in the
north OF England, whose house and
works are dazzlingly Illuminated by
the electric light, has adopted an in
genious contrivance by which he may
CLEAN some information as to what
goes on during his not infrequent alb
sences from home. In several of his
rooms and his offices there is a. con-
cealed apparatus in the walls, con-
sisting OF a roll of Eastman paper and
train of clockwork. Every hour O.
shutter is silently opened by the
machinery, and an instantaneous
photograph is taken of all that is 60
ing on in the room. On the great
mans return he delights to develop
these pictures, and it Is said that they
have furnished some very strange in
formation indeed. One clerk, who re-
ceived his dismissal somewhat un-
expectedly, and boldly wanted to
know the reason why, was Mortified
when shown photograph in which he
was depicted lolling in an easy chair,
with his feet upon the Office desk,
while the clock on the mantelpiece
pointed to an hour at which he ought
to have been at his busiest. The
servants party in the best dining
room furnished another thrilling scene.

ameter OF O.28O inch. The outside is
covered with hemp yarn and bitumi-
nous compound, the whole weighing
about sixteen tons per nautical mile.
A portion of the intermediate cable is
covered with twelve wires, O.252 inch
IN diameter, weighing in all five tons;
another portion is covered with twelve
wires, O.l65 inch in diameter, weighing
about three tons. The deep sea is
covered with twelve steel wires, O.O84
inch in diameter, and again covered
with tape and twenty hemp cords,
each OF the steel wires being covered
with tape and preservative compound.
The steel wire has q breaking strain of
eightv.four tons to the square inch.
BY adding the hemp cords the tensile
strength is increased, and the specific
gravity reduced so as to enable the ca
BILE to belaid in very deep water. The
total breaking strain of this cable is
