SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The largest soap mandatory inI
Philadelphia, at which 1, 100,0 O0pounds
are boxed every week, was founded in
1858 by thrifty German, who walked
into the city that year with only $25 in
his pockets.
-Verre givre, or hoar frost glass, is
an article now made in Paris, so called

cold weather.

gains in bouquet, and in every way
takes on the qualities that used to
come only with years of age.
The high price of gum arabic has
led chemists to seek for a substitute
for it, and two products-one from flax
seed and the other from starch-have
been evolved, which, it is believed,
will take the place of the Arabian gum
in all the preparations in which that
article is now used.
"A third crystalline form of carbon
has been discovered in meteoric iron
from Western Australia. The mineral,
which is to be called cliftonite, resem-
bles the diamond in the shape of it's
crystals, but in color and other respects
it is more like graphite.
-Copper-plated sheet steel is already
taking an important place in various
industries. The sheet is made of de-
carbonized steel. After being rolled to
the proper thickness, it is electroplated
with copper on both sides and timed
on one side, in which condition it is
found to be a better article for many
purposes than sold sheet copper.
The new machine just invented for
printing postal-cards prints them from
the roll and turns them outin packages
ready for delivery. 1t runs them off at
the rate of 800 minute, with paper
bands pasted around each twenty-five.
1t is said one man can look after two
machines.
1t is stated that less than ninety
nine per cent of all the iower-seeds
sold in this country are raised abroad,
chiefly in Germany. In that country
immense tracts of land are devoted to
the growth of flowers for seed, and the
business is carried on in the most care

Soft soap, with half its weight in
pearlash-one ounce of mixture in
about one gallon of boiling water-is
in everyday use in most engineers
shops in the drip-pans used for turning
articles bright in wrought iron and
steel. With this kind of treatment the
work, though constantly moist, does
not rust, and bright nuts are immersed
in it for days till wanted and retain
their polish.
between the orbits of Mars and
Jupiter, at a distance of about $50, 000,-
900 miles from the sun, there revolve
some POS little bodies, whose diameters
vary from eight to ten miles to 200.
Whether they are, as Professor Young
once described them, parts ''of PLAN
ct spoiled in the making" or not, is
unknown. and perhaps may never be
solved. But certain it IS that there are
always numberless little celestial
bodies of this character, whose revolu-
tions around the sun are performed as
unerringly as those of the larger plan
cts. They are called planetoids, from
two Greek words, which mean resem-
bling "a planet or wanderer.

WASHINGTON. May 26.-The eau
Gus of Republican members of the
House this afternoon lasted tour hours.
The conclusions reached are expressed
in the following resolutions:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
caucus, that The House should make a
special order for the consideration of
general pension legislation at the
earliest day practicable during this
session, aud that the Committee on
Rules be requested to report "a resolu-
ion to that end, said order to be the
continuing order from day to day, un-
I'll all the general pension legislation
on the calendars hall be disposed of.
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this caucus that the Committee on
Rules of the House Of Representatives
should report resolution making it in
order, as matter of privilege, to move
10 discharge the Committee on Educa-
ton from the further consideration of
the Blair Educational bill, and report
it to the House for consideration at
the ear lest practicable day during
this session.
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
caucus that the pending Tariff bill be
takc;, up and considered in Committee
of Whole under the five minute rule
in the usual way, section by section
and paragraph by paragraph.

a SAMPLE OF REPUBLICAN LEAD
ERS.

The Greensboro North State of last
week contained two portraits of its
party leaders, with falseme praise of
both. One of them is of John Nichols,
whom the State Chronicle calls thief
and comes as near proving it as can
be done outside of court of law the
other is of James A. Cheek, of Hills
boro, who sells mean whiskey to ruin
the health and damn the souls of his
constituents The writer was in Or
ange county when Cheek made his
last campaign and knows that Cheek
owes his success to the abundant use
of "rot gut" Now hear the North
States sickening praise of the bar
keeper:
"He is known as a careful legislator, and de-
voted to the interests of his constitutes is. He is
a man of education and strong character. His
we'll known probity, and loyalty to the inter
ests of the people have made him deservedly
popular. He has little desire for official life,
preferring 70 devote his time to his large and
prosperous business, which has yielded him a
handsome competence.
Mr.. Cheek is who deserves the great
est praise for his efforts in life"
Such praise BELTS statesman but
it is out of place when applied to the
keeper of doggery Cheek has gained
a competence, but it has been at the
expense of the drunkard's wife and
child The North State would praise
him for his getting money, when every
cent lis blood money, every dollar
wrung from the hungry and the desc
late
These are the kind of men who lead
the Republican party in North Caro-
lima, and yet the North State has the
cheek to ask the people to vote the
Republican ticket!

treated 10y many of my most valued
friends as not absolutely conclusive in

On the other hand, friends equally de-

to be an unconditional withholding #
my name from the National Conven

their support to eminent gentlemen
who are candidates for the Chicago

that position, if L had desired to rep
resent the party in the presidential
contest of 1888.
If should now, by speech or by

RALEIGH, May 30.-The Demo

to the National Convention.
Capt. Bum appeared and was greet
ed with tremendous applause. He
was introduced by the chairman and
addressed the convention briefly. In
few graceful words he thanked the
convention for the honvr which had
just been conferred upon him. He
intended to lead the Democrats Of the
Fourth District to victory lie was
determined to make the campaign g
warm one-"even as warm as this con

cool itself meanwhile with sundry
fans, broad brimmed hats, etc. He
said that he was fully sensible of the
difficulties Of the fight he was about
to wage The enemy was elated il
the flush of recent victory and the
charge against them would be against
a victorious column, but he fearct
not the attack He said he wished
the convention to understand in the
outset that he had no son to receive
an appointment to West Point. HI
alluded to the State Democratic Con
