The Distinctively American Hand.
There is distinctively American hand,
Just as distinctive as those Of the Ethiopian,
the Chinaman, the German or the Hindoo.
In his curious work, La Science de Ia Main,
D'Arpentigny quotes the strange description
Of "Le Yankee," contained in Michel Chev-
alters Lettres sur pAmerique du Nord (of
which translation was published in Boston
in 1889 and concludes: "In nation such as

The American type Of hand has this signif-
canoe: The size Of the hand indicates capa-

capacity to seize the meaning Of an entire
subject, and analyze its details with equal
rapidity; the palm gives sensuality and
love Of pleasure, the consistency gives great
mental activity and love Of exercise when
other people are taking It.; in q word, q love

Gas Explosions ON steamsh::,,.

With the object Of reducing the danger Of
explosions Of gas in the bunkers Of her mai
esty's ships, the admiralty have issued new
rules for the government Of the steam re-
serves. According to these, directly after the
coaling Of a ship is finished, the engineer
officer is to see chat the coal shutes are quite
clear Of coal Coal should not be taken on
board wet, as moisture sometimes causes a
rapid and dangerous generation of heat and
gas While the decks are being washed after
coaling, the close bunker covers are to be ro-
placed to prevent water passing into the
bunkers, and the coal should always be kept
as dry as possible. The ventilating pipes to
bunkers, when so fitted, should be kept clear.
No light, except in safety lamp, is to be
used inside the coal bunkers until it has been
ascertained that they do not contain ex-
plosive gas; and special precautions in this
respect are to be taken for few.days after
coaling. Where coal bunkers are not pro
vided with permanent ventilating fittings,
the lids are to be taken of twice week, and
kept of at least ten hours during the week.
Every precaution Is to be taken to ventilate
such bunkers before men are sent to work in
them. In order to render the ventilation
efficient there must be at least two openingz
One for the admission Of pure air, and the
other for the escape Of foul air-and, where
the two permanent ventilating fittings do not
include both, the bunker lids are to be taken

pension bills which had passed both
houses of congress since May 1885,
The proofs accompanying these bills
had all been thoroughly examined by
the committees of the House and Sen
ate, and approved, but the President
abrogates to himself superior wisdom
from intuitive knowledge, for he could
not, if he would, examine the evidence,
and vetoes the bills. How much of 1t
comes from his soldier-hating heart,
and how much from his desire to pan

politics of his party we do not pretend

the slightest whisper of reproach.
Gen. Harrison was a gallant soldier
during the war of the rebellion, enter

unteers, he served one term in the
senate, and would have been re-elect-

not resorted to the most bare faced
frauds in the election of the legisla-
ture which elected his successor, Mr..
Turpie, the present junior senator
from that state. That Indiana will
cast her fifteen electoral votes Cor him
in November. there can be no doubt
it is already conceded by many demo
Gratis. Mr.. Morton belongs to the class
| of patriotic business men who nobly
stood by their government in its hour
of need, and risked their fortunes to
furnish necessary money 10 carry the
war to a successful close, actuate1 by
precisely the same motives that Har'
rison was, in enlisting as a soldier
the preservation of the Union. Mr..
Morton has served honorabiy as q
member of the House of Representa-
tives, and as United states minister to
France. He is extremely popular IL
New York State, which will give Har
rson and Morton 36 electoral votes.
The great tariff fight in the House
over the Mills bill has begun again
and when it will end is a problem
The democratic convention endorsed
the bill, and that infused new courage

convention endorsed the action of tn,
republican members in their policy o
