answer is, that he would neUer pay it.
1t Is true that he will pay eleven

the journey lasting seven days. How
many trains will a traveller meet in
journeying from San Francisco to Now
York;"
1t appears obvious at the first glance
that the traveller must meet seven
trains, and this is the answer which
will be given by nine people out OF
ten to whom the question is new. The
fact is overlooked that every day dur
Ing the journey fresh train is start
ing from the other end. while there
are seven on the way to begin with.
The traveller will therefore meet not
seven trains. but fourteen.

MBUSTiBlLITY OF IRON.
Conditions Under Which the Metal VIII
Burn 1teadIIy.

Burn Readily.
COmbustibility is not generally con-
sidered one of the properties of iron.
yet. that metal will under proper condi-
tons burn readily. The late Prof
Magnus, of Berlin. Germany, devised
the following method of showing the
combustibility of iron: A mass of iron
filings Is approached by a magnet Of con-
siderable power, and quantity there.
of is permitted to adhere to it. This
loose. spongy tuft of iron powder con-
tains large quantity of air imprisoned
between its particles. and is. therefore,
and because of its extremely commin-
uted condition, we'll adapted to mani
fest its combustibility. The flame OF
an ordinary spirit lamp or Bunsen
burner readily sets fire to the finely di-
vided iron, which continues to burn
brilliantly and freely. BY waving the
magnet to and fro the showers OF
sparks sent off produce a striking and
brilliant effect
The assertion that iron is more COM
bustible than gunpowdcr. has its origin
in the following experiment. which is
also very striking one: A little alec.
hol is poured into saucer and ignited.
mixture of gunpowder and iron fill
ings is allowed to fall IN small quanti-
ties at time into the flame of the burn
ing alcohol, when it will be observed
that the iron will take fire in its pas
sage through the flame. while the gun
powder will fall through it and col
lect beneath the liquid alcohol
below uncOnsumcd. This, however,
is n scientific trick. and the expert
ment hardly justities the sweeping
assertion that iron is more combustible
than gunpowdcr. The ignition of the
iron under the foregoing circumstances
is due to the fact that the metal parti-
Giles, being admirable conductors OF
heat, are able to absorb sufficient heat
during their passage through the flame
and they are consequently raised to
gunpowdcr. however. are very poor
conductors of heat. comparatively
speaking, and during the exceedingly
brief time consumed in their passage
through the flame they do not become
heated appreciably. or certainly not to
their point of ignition. Under ordinary
circumstances, gunpowder is vastly
more inflammablc than iron.
Another method of exhibiting the
combustibility of iron, which would
appear to justify the assertion that il
is really more combustible than gun
powder is the following: Place in re-
factory tube Of Bohemian glass guam
tity of dry. freshly-precipitated by
drafted ferric oxide. Heat this oxide
to bright redness. and pass current
of hydrogen through the tube. The
| hydrogen will deprive the oxide of its
oxygen, and reduce the mass to the
metallic state. If, when the reduction
appears to be finished, the tube is re-
moved from the flame and its contents
permitted to fall out into the air. it
will take fire spontaneously and burn
to oxide again. This experiment indi-
Gates that pure iron in state of the
| EXTREMIST subdivision is one of the
most combustible substances known
more 81 even than gunpowder and
other explosive substances. which re-
| quire the application of considerable
heat or of spark to ignite them

THE VERDICT or THE PEOPLE

The campaign is over. The ver-
dict OF sixty millions have been reg
istered. The policy of this govern
ment upon the tariff for the next
four years has been settled. Protec
ton for American industries, living
wages for the poor man and wage
earners of his great nation has been
.irrevocably settled. And more,
the American versus the un- Ameri-
can idea has been proclaimed FROM
Delaware to California and from
Maine to the remotest shores of the
Rio Grande That these inseparable
ligaments of State form and do
compose one grand and concentrat
ed republic and the people thereof
from one united nation: That
fraud and intimidation in any one
member Of this union of States is a
sin against and standing menace
of harm and injustice to each and
all OF the others, forming cemented
union Of States. That each Ameri
can voter OF Il years of age is eati
tied to one vote and that vote should
be honestly counted. That the men
who braved their lives in behalf OF
this nation, and that this govern
ment of the people, for the people,
and by the people, should be pre-
served to them tree, are entitled TO
the ever living gratitude OF this
nation and themselves and the wild
ows Of the slain to pension com
porting with tina dignity of this
nation.
To this verdict Republicans,
Prohibitionlsts, and young men OF
the Democratic patty with their
faces turned towards the future aud
not look towards the past have con-
tribnted: Such an Overwhelming
verdict of the people, and that too
unquestoned has not been recorded
for twenty years. In a republic
like ours where the vote of rhe ma
iority is the rule of the land it be-
comes all of us irrespective of par
ties to bow with gentle submission
to the will of the people. Let
those OF us who have heen victom-
ous bear our victory with becoming
composure and dignity, and those
" hose misfortune it was to be
among those defeated, see to it that
they examine into those measures
and those policies which conspired
to make victory possible to the end
that whatever policy founded IN
right and in Justice that shall max,
this nation great and powerful. shall
be adopted and tenaciously chung to
by all free and patriotic Americans
