Judge Culver deserves to be elected
for probate judge for several good rea-

as to patronize the Democrat. The
Judge is correct, even in this. But be-
yond all this, the judge is a courteous
gentleman whose heart is only limited
by the size of his body. And every

ssHe saw a private soldier struggling
along, weak from sickness and fatigue.
on whose shoulders the weight of the

sympathy did not take form in mere
words, as would have been the case
with most officers. He transferred the
burden to his own back, in order that
the weak, sick soldier might find some
relief.

heart than volumes of panegyrics Ii

are counted in November"

A Typewriter Cipher.

An Englishman has lRFentedsaR in genious method of producing cipher or secret communication by mechani- cal means. It is adapted for use on typewriters or similar wrlting-ma. chimes where the type or correspond ing index scale, dial, or pointer is capable of being moved CT adjusted. The typewriting-machines to be used for the purpose are made in dupli- cates, so that the two index scales cor respond with each other in the ar engagement of their characters but differ from any other pair of machines. Since the index scale is adjustable, it may be shifted in two corresponding machines, so that enc or mere of the characters is moved out of its normal position, and, in consequence, when the operator strikes certain letter on the keyboard, another totally diff ferent will be printed. Thus he can continue and write out an entire let ter winch, to the uninihated, will seem like nothing more than con fused tumble of characters. To de- cipher whatever has been written it IS only necessary for the individual who has the clue to shift the index scale in the opposite direction from that used by the original operator, and then, by striking on the keyboard the charac- ters of the secret communication, the correct message will be printed.-The Stationer.

nnrenenl. Of lhe washlnslon arsnaaent.

Great care is taken to note the
 movements of the Washington Monu-
 mont. for it does move. The law of
 contraction and expansion of material
 by heat and cold operates here as we'll
 as elsewhere. When the sun shines fnll on the eastern face in the mern-
 inc the stones on that side expand
 and throw the shaft slightly to the
 west. Then the sun goesround to the
 south and the apex of the monument
 makes a corresponding swing to the
 north. As the orb creeps about the
 sky to its final setting in the evening
 the glittering point on top of the
 monument makes Ss,9dtra-movement around half circle, gradually settling
 back to its normal position after the
 rays of the sun haze lost their power
 Thls movement las never been calcu- lated, but is undoubtedly very slight. The wind, too, mas an effect upon the structure. From the center of gravity of the shaft, located IA feet and 10 inches from the floor, is a cross-bsam, from winch is suspended a fine steel wlre, protected by galvanized iron tube about four inches in diameter. This hangs to the floor at the north west corner of the elevator we'll At the bottom Is plumb-bob, weighing twenty-five pounds, suspended by means of wire, and hanging in water. An iron cylinder protects the instrument from injury, and a little iron house, about four feet high, keeps off the draught. Through the eyln- der Is teleseopic eyopiece, in one end of which are two vertical wires about one-quarter of an inch apart. When a candle is held at an opening Tn the side of the box and the eye is apphed te the outside end of the tube, the plumb line can be seen-a fine lipe between the vertical marks. Any movement in the shaft is recorded by a corresponding ementin the line. When the structure IS at rest, and in Its normal position, the line hangs still, midway between tue others, but when tae shaft is disturbed by the &C., ton of the wind it sways back and forth like the pendulum of clock, always coming to rest Tn the center This IS observed every day, and if the custodian should ever netice the hne hanging still at any polnt outside of the tive cross -hnes 1e ,Iff- fLsn know that the monument has been perma- ncntly moved from its level position. Until then however, no one need be alarmed by the oscillations of the shaft from the acton of the wind or the influence of the suu.-Washington Star.

Utilization oq Cid Tins.


 4 number of people recently gath cred at the Columbia Rolling Mill Fourteenth Street and Jersey Avenue, Jersey City, at the formal opening of the mill. The industry IS a novel one, being the manufacture of taggers iron from old tin cans and other waste sheet metal. This iron has heretofore been manufactured almost exclusively in Europe, and the Columbia Rolling Mill Company Is the only American company which turns out the product in large quantities. The process is simple. The tin cans are first heated in an oven raised to a temperature of about 1000 degs., which melts off the in and lead. The sheet iron winch remains is passed, first. under rubber coated rollers. and then chilled iron rollers, which leaves the shee; smooth
 nd flat. After annealing and trim ming, they are ready for shipment The lin and lead which is melted from the cans is run into bars, and is also placed upon the market. All the raw material used is waste, but the sheet iron turned out is said to be of good quality. Itis used for buttons, tags, and objects of like nature. The ma terial used costing little, and the de- mand for taggers' iron being consld- erable, it is thought that this is a good opportunity to build up another American industry.

The San Diego Plume.

The San DIego Hume is pronounced
 by men experienced in such enter
 prises to be the largest ever built m
 the world. So stupendous was the
 undertaking that at its conception
 many declared that it could net be
 built. Every obstacle has been new overcome, however, and the last spike in the Hume driven. The water will be brought to the reservoir, about ten miles from San Diego, from which peint it IS proposed to pipe the water to the city. In regard to the mechan- lcal work done in the construction of the Hume, all who have examined it declare that it Is first class in every partioalay. Engine.T.L'ils se fixed the grade every mile in order as near as possible to insure perfection in that important particular The Hume has a uniform grade of four and seven tenths feet to the mlle. An idea of the difficulties that have been over come in the construction of the Hume may be gained frem a consideration of the fact that much of the lumber had to be drawn 700 and 500 feet up the sides of steep and rocky noun tains. The lumber was loaded on cars that ran on portable track. The cars were attached to a heavy wire cable. The motive power was fur nished by a portable cable engine. The Hume is now completed, and as the work of laying the pipes from the reservoir is comparatively an easy one, it will not be long before the water from the great Hume will be flowing into our city.
 The total length of the Hume, when finished, will be thirty-fve and three quarter miles, and the thirty-fourth mile is now completed. The redwood came from Humboldt and vicinity, in &eudocine County. Redwood was used exclusively in the box of the Hume. The work of the contractors began early in June of last year. A conservative estimate of the amount of lumber used Tn the Hume IS 9,OOO,- 900 feet.
 In the course of the Hume there are 3l5 trestles, the longest of which is 1.700 feet Tn length and elghty-fve feet high. Its construction required 250,000 feet Of lumMAThIs is the Los Cochos trestle. Sweetwater trestle IS 1900 feet and 85 feet high. The main tim }5erS used in these trestles are 10 by 10 and by s. They were put together on the ground and raised to their position by horse power. There are eight tunnels in the course of the Hume, the longest of which is 2,100 feet in length. The tunnels are 6 by feet in size, with convex-shaped roofing. Each mile of the Hume re- quired, on an average, 25O,00O feet Of lumber for its construction, and the redwood used in the box Is all two inches thick.-San Diego Sun.
