A Curious Electrical Experiment.

poured from acupin q melted state upon

will begin to throw out threads in an ex-
t~raordinary manner. When the r~csinous
matter is very hot the fbers are large,
and sometimes they may he so small as
to be almost invisible. Each fiber shoots
a a cylinder with remarkable speed,
then breaks into minute beads, which can
be- made 10 patter against a drumhead

times the candle, though some
times they return to the cup after APP

out in a few minutes, and the breaking
into beads offers a ready means of pow

Particle. Of the Atmosphere.

An unlimited mount Of power could
be obtained at any point on the earth's
surface. if a method should be discovered
of making all the PARTICLES Of a body Of
air move in one direction. The present
belief among scientists is that the atmos'
phere is an aggregation of excessively
small molecules, which do not entirely
I'LL all the space which the air seems to
occupy, and that they are constantly
rushing through the %unoccupied space al
a high speed, striking each other and the
solid bodies around them, the molecular
bombardment upon any object arresting
their course, giving rise to what is known
as the atmospheric pressure, which
amounts 10 fifteen pounds 10 the square
inch. Consequently there is here an
ever active force, could a way Of utiliz.
ing il he discovered. The blows Of the

To Keep Chicken Thievse AWAY.

In recent communication to the Dem
YER Republican, criticising some editor
ial on the Texas deep water question,
hits the exact truth in these words ::
"The northwest Is interested in a free

is not interested In the local affairs OF
Galveston or any other Texas city. 1t
is interested in getting at the truth of
the harbor question" This covers the

MONDAY, JUNE, q, 1888,
FULLER'S CROOkEDNESS.

The proceedings of the senate in the
Fuller cass do not seem to reflect much
credit upon the presidential choice for
the high honors of chief justice Of this
great nation. Matters not only reflect
ing upon Mr.. Fuller's loyalty, and
squareness as a member of the legisls-
ture, but upon his integrity as man of
business, are being brought to light and
his unsavory methods are being un-
earthed in way that may make him
feel that the hour of his nomination was
the most unfortunate one of his life. The
morning dispatches say, concerning his
nomination and the obstacles in the way
of his confirmation:
The most serious of the charges
brought against Mr.. Fuller are those
from Mr.. Dunievy, of Chicago. They
allege that the clerk of the court and
Mr.. Fuller were jury commissioners in
1881, and that Mr.. Fuller drew the jury
before which q case in which he was
himself heavily interested was tried.
The result, according to Dunlevy, was
verdict for Fuller and consequent re-
cOvery OF a large and valuable tract Of
swamp land. The committee has tele-
graphed for transcript of record"
1t is by no means likely that Mr..
Clevelad was any better informed con-
corning Mr.. Fuller's peculiar practices
as an attorney than was the rest OF the
country and it would be ungenerous to
charge 80. Give him the benefit of all
doubt on that score and yet it ia morally
certain that Mr.. Cleveland or his ad-
visers must have had knowledge OF his
Oisloyalty, OF his attempt to prevent the
state Of Illinois from filling her quota
for the defence of the national
government when assailed, OF his
hostility to all state for aid the suffering
patriots in the field. and these things
should have prevented an honorable
and high minded chief magistrate from
selecting him as the recipient OF such
distinguished honors as would fall to
him as the chief justice OF this nation.
The judicial ermine ofthe supreme court
has SO far remained unsullied by the
appointment of men OF interruptions
character, at least SO far as known be-
fore the appointment, and the utmost
care should be taken now to prevent
the nomination of any unfit man to this
high office. 1t Ia not a political Office
and should not be the reward of politi.
cal service, and yet Mr.. Fuller has no
claims upon the appointment save that
OF an INSCRIPTIONS politician who has
always preferred his party before the
national Interests. The charge that MIR.
Fuller was the means Of leading the leg.
islature OF Illinois into most unsayorv
legislation by false representation while

charge, that ssjury commissioner he &C.

COUNSEL he was employed, are enough to
condemn him as lawyer, much more to
debar him from confirmation as the an
preme judge OF the national law courts.
