Is ANYTHING WRONG?

In obedience to an order of the
Board of County Commissioners Sher.
1T Kinney to-day filed statement
showing up to what date licensees in
this county have paid their licenses.
The statement doubtless makes a bet
ter showing on accoun, of the spur
rlng-up Of Sheriff Kinney, by the brief
article which appeared in the TIMES a
few days ago, contrasting Sheriff
furey's collections TIE last year of
his ineumbency with those of Sheriff
Kinney the following year But i, is
nevertheless far from satisfactory, in
many respects.
For instance: We notice the alb
sence of the names Of several business
hrms who must have paid their lcen-
ses, and yet they are not mentioned a,
all in this statement, which should in
clude the name of every business man
to whom license ha, bean issued.
and the amount pail for such license.
If the licenses have not been col
lected the names Of the parties failing
to pay should be stated. II the par
ties whose names do not appear on
the statement have paid their licenses,
the amounts should be accounted for. |
AS the statement, which is presuma
bly, truthful transcript of Sheriff
kinney's books, neither reports the
parties referred to as delinquent nor
as having paid, the question arises:
What is up?

Proof OF the Earth's Motion.

ANY one can prove the rotary motion OF
the earth on its axis by q simple expert.
ment
Take good sized bowl, fill it nearly
full Of water, and place it upon the floor
Of room which is not exposed to shaking
or Earring from the street.
Sprinkle over the surface Of the water
coating Of lycopodium powder, a white
substance, which Is sometimes used for
the purposes Of the toilet, and which can
be obtained at almost any apothecary's.
Then, upon the surface OF this coating OF
powder, make, with powdered charcoal, a
straight, black line, say an inch or two
Inches in length.
Having made this little black mark
with the charcoal powder on the surface
Of the contents Of the bowl, lay down
upon the floor, close 10 the bowl, stick
or some other straight object, so that 1t
shall be exactly parallel with the mark.
If the line happens TO be parallel with Il
crack in the floor or with any stationary
object in The room, this will serve as well.
Leave the bowl undisturbed for few
hours, and then observe the position of
the black mark with reference TO the OBJ
iect that it was parallel with.
1t will be found to have moved about,
and to have moved from east TO west,
that is to say, in that direction opposite
to that of the movement Of the earth on
its axis.
The earth, in simply revolving, has
carried the water and everything else In
the bowl around with it, but the powder
on the surface has been left behind a
little. The line will always DO found to
have moved from east to west, which is
perfectly good proof that everything else
has moved the other way.-German

Society In WASHINGTON.

There was big ball at the British le-
CATION last night, and the thousand win.
dows of the great palace glittered and
glowed The picture Of Victoria, at the
head Of the landing, looked down on the
throng, and looked like old Mother Eng
land pronouncing O bcnediction on her
American children. Sir Lionel Sackvule
West, tho British minister, is one of the
most popular in Washington. BE Is fond
of society, and entertains great deal.
Tonight there is to be cabinet dinner
at the White House, and the president
and Mrs. Cleveland will wine and dine
the various ministers. AS write this
the White House gardeners are taking
the plants from the Conservatives and
PUTTING them in the various corridors,
and more than $1,000 worth OF flowers
have been used in decoration. ] wish !

which will appear on that White House

There was queer scene on the Bwery
a day or two ago, when one Of the clothing
houses gave away Zoo overcoats &c poor
boys, demanding quarter from each boy,
for some wise reason not clearly cx-
planned. The little gamins who sell the
papers got most OF them. Possibly you
think that was good, and that they would
be snug and warm this winter. Well, I
don't know. They are, beyond and above
all other, the strangest part Of our popu-
lstion They are like little rats or foxes.
Their origin is easy to get at; they are the
children Of love, OF paupers, OF vaga-
bonds, and Of the squalid tenement dis
tricts Thousands either have 10 homes
or else don't go to them, but live IN lodg-
ings, newsboys' homes, and Ia wagons,
garrets, cellars and the general poke holes
Of the city. The bootblacks are their
brothers and chums, and live in the same
way They all smoke--either stnmps,
picked up, or cigarettes at two for cent.
Their stoves are the gratings over boilers
under the streets; their dissipation II at
tendance Of the galleries Of the cheapest
variety shows; their best fun IS found tn
lighting

II, Keen Plants In Winter

A new principle for keeping plants
through the winter without artificial heat
was recently shown at Regents park,
London, with the plants grown in them
last winter The essence Of the invention
Is that all light and heat shall previously
pass through shallow layer of water.
The water is found TO exercise great con-
troll over temperature, protecting plants
entirely from frost in winter ana
from excessive direct heat in summer.
The application involves no difficulty In
the case Of a garden frame sliding
"water light" about three inches deep. is
made 10 ct over the frame containing the
nlants. tho only difference from a glass
iioht being that 1t holds water and is al
ways placed in a fat position. The depth
Of water generally kept in the tank is
about two inches in summer and winter,
and half the depth in spring ard autumn
