Just now watching the presidential
contest in this country, with great in
terest, we copy the following from the
London Globe and commend it to
thoughtful consideration:
AS rule the presidential contest
has very little interest for the Old
World. On the present occasion,
however. an issue is involved which
very closely concerns Europe, more
particularly Great Britain. Mr.. Cleye-
land has taken his stand on free trade,
and, although his party managers have
considerably planned down his platform
he is universally recognized in the
states as pledged to initiate a new de-
parture in fiscal policy. Nor can there
be any doubt that he would act up to
this understanding were he elected.
The central issue of the contest lies
between the maintenance of the pre-
sent fiscal system intact and its modi-
| fication in the direction of free trade.
And on that broad question Mr.
| Cleveland's candidature naturally and
necessarily carries English sympathy

SPECTRAL ANALYSIS;
DIR. Kirchhoff's Version of the Story of L
Discovery.


Discovery.
Shortly before his death the late DR..
Kirchhoff, of Berlin, related the true story
of the discovery of spectral analysis He
and Bunsen were then professors at Hei
delberg and kept bachelors quarters in the
well-knoWn "RiesensteiA. Upon one Of
their daily promenades Bunsen remarked:
''kirchhoff, we must discover some thing
which will be too simple to be true" They
returned and went to work. But years
passed by before the discovery was effect
ed. Experimenting one day in his labora-
tory, Kirchhoff happened to place burn
ing lamp in the rays of the sun. A dark
place appeared at once. Thinking 1T an
''optical Illusion" he repeated the action,
only to find the dark ray reappear, and
give place to the ordinary ray when the
lamp was removed. He called Bunsen
The experiment was repeated many times
and always with the same result. They
could not explain it. Finally Bunsen pro-
posed that they go home and t'think of
other things for awhile;" possibly some
explanation might be reached. They lolled
in their easy chairs, smoking their long
student pipes and talking of the days of
their youth and the gossip of the hour.
The afternoon had almost passed when
buHSen SpranS TO MS 1eet Win the remark:
''Eurekal The flame of the lamp is fed by
the same stuff which is burning in the
sum-" They hurried back to the labora-
tory, tried number of experiments, and
the great discovery was made. That night
there was jolliication in the bachelor
quarters of the modest hotel A few weeks
later the whole world knew of the discov-
cry, and Kirchhoff and Bunsen were en-
rolled among immortal scientists. The
name of Kirchhof, by the way, means
graveyard. At a state dinner the dis
tinguished scientist once made speech in
honor of the guest of the evening, ending
with the usual ''Hoch soil leben." Prof
Helmholtz, now head of the physical insti.
tute in Berlin, after listening to the con-
clusion, was guilty of, the remark: HE
must be immortal, indeed, to whom the
Kirchhoff (graveyard) calls Long Live"
