trary, the old building was torn down and
the new one is being erected without in the
least disturbing the plant Of the newspaper
Office. This is clever feat OF engineering,
which is quite frequently performed in New
York city. The walls OF the old building
were completely torn away, disclosing to
view temporary walls of wood, covered with
tarred paper and tin. and the numerous
floors were braced and held in position by
heavy scaffoldings under each, which were
gradually taken away as the new walls mace
them unnecessary. When these walls were
finished the new floors were put in, starting
from the top and going downwards' mus

Warner was born in Lafayette county, Wis,
in 1910, and was educated at Lawrence and
Ann Arbor university. At the close of tho
war he took up the practice Of the law in
Kansas City, but his talents were soon recog-

to congress, he was chosen city attorney and
later was raised to the Office of mayor:

In the latter part Of 1864 he moved to
Iowa and embarked in farming and business,
but in 1878, owing to catarrhal disability,
he moved to Lawtey, Fla, where he now re-
sides. In 1880 he was delegate to the na-

The Multiplying Copies.

Those who use multiplying processes em.
ploying positive CT unreversed stencils Of
wax paper, through which the ink is forced
from roller upon the paper beneath, will be
interested to know shat it is not necessary in
making stencil to have under the wax
paper the ribbed or roughened metal plate
generally, used for that purpose. Any hard,
smooth substance will answer. Nor IS a
special stylus needed; a hard lead pencil is all
that is necessary.-St Louis Republic.

Thus there are but three narrow ways: the
northeast Or 14foot channel, the Swash and
the main channel. The name of tho first in
dicates its depth, the Swash is useless except
for the lightest craft, and thus the only
channel to be provided for is conveniently
defensible from Sandy Hook and from forti-
fications which could easily be raised on the
'bank" just north of the main channel. OF
course the same system could be adopted
here as that suggested for the Narrows, with
such improvements as the most recent expe-
rience may suggest.
In addition to those hitherto mentioned
there is small fort on Sandy Hook, ono at
Willets Point on the sound, and Fort Schuy-
Ter opposite, on Throgg's Neck, and these are
ell the fortresses New York has. And yet
there are some engineers who insist that even
now New York could not be captured by any
foreign feet if a day or two of notice could be
had. They point to the large feet of yachts,
tugboats, tramboats and small but solid and
heavy craft perpetually plying in the harbor,
and say that the government could, as it
certainly would, seize enough of them to
completely close the channels of approach
by sinking therl with stone, as has been done
in other wars. It is certainly true that nat
ure has favored New York in the way Of
very narrow channels at the entrances to her
harbors, all at safe distances; but it is best to
have the more scientific and permanent de-
fenses ready.
Lieut.. Griffin presents careful and COM
plete estimate Of the defenses needed, and the
cost for the principal coast cities of the
United States, making the total cost $780,
$4,000. This includes iron turrets, case
mated batteries, barbette batteries, torpedoes
and torpedo boats and ample armament for
all, and the amount for New York is ST.
$4,000. Tie total for all the cities is but
IL per cent. on the property to be protected.
It only remains to add that the expert
ments with new explosives far more powerful
than powder are proceeding satisfactorily,
and that the demonstrated success Of Lieut..
Zalinski's dynamite gun-or, rather, pneu-
matic gun, projecting dynamite torpedo
though as yet at comparatively short range,
promises a new system Of immense utility
for national defense. j. II. BEADLE.

Professor c. E. Myers, Of Mohawk, N. Y,
and his wife, better known as "Carlotta," !"
have presented some novel theories of air
currents and practicable routes of aerial
travel drawn from their experience, but little
IS proved. All conclusions drawn from the
sailing Of vessel across the wind are neces-
sarily misleading, for the vessel is guided by
working the force of one fluid against
another; the sails take the wind, but the hull
rests in the water, a vastly denser fluid, and
so the rudder uses that force to partially cir
cumvent the other. But an air ship would
all be in the same fluid, end would inevitably
take the course of the wind, sails, hull, rudder
and all. "Steering" is out of the question.

open to him, and the ladies certainly did not
slight the handsome and successful young
lawyer. For many years he had a suite Of
rooms, elegantly furnished, in the Chemung
Canal bank building.
The governor is singularly regular in his
habits. It used to be said in Elmira that
''you could set your watch correctly by the
hour he went to his Office or his meals" The
law is his life, politics his recreation. As
other men spend money on music or yacht
ing, dogs, books or pictures, Governor Hill
spends his in politics. He is, however, quite
fond of theatrical and minstrel entertain
ments, and is q very discriminating critic.
One of his friends says he would as soon hear
Governor Hill give an account Of drama as
to witness it himself.
His political rise has been quite steady, and
he has generally gained votes for his ticket.
In 1871 he was elected to the assembly; was
delegate to the national Democratic conven-
tion of 1876, and has many times been dele
gate to various conventions. He took an 40
tive part in tho reform movement Of 1871-72,
which resulted in the impeachment Of Judges
Barnard and Cardozo, and thus secured the
lasting friendship of Samuel j. Tilden. In

governor on the same ticket with Grover
Cleveland, succeeded to the governorship
when Cleveland became president, was elected
governor in 1885 and is now candidate for
reelection. Most men who meet Governor
Hill for the first time are agreeably disap-
pointed, as his manner is quite engaging and
he puts every ono at ease. In his political
career he seems to have made no personal
enemies, but in his early life az lawyer no
had tragic experience. Being employed by
lady to protect her property rights against
her husband, from whom she was separated,
the husband attacked Mr.. Hill in his office
and inflicted dangerous stab in his neck and
back. After serving short term in the
penitentiary the man came to Elmira and
again threatened the life Of tho lawyer; but
as he was crossing the street near Mr.. Hills
Office he was run down by a street car and
terribly mangled, dying in few hours. The
governor still bears an ugly scar as me
mento Of that experience.

CHICAGO. June There was more sat
isfied feeling ON Change after the delivery
hour this morning The grain and pro-
visions that went around was estimated at
from 100000 to 900 bushels of wheat,
$1,000 barrels of pork, and perhaps 10000
tierces of lard. Corn and oats were gener-
ally held, and that gave frmer selling
There was a wider interest in wheat and
the crowd was still nervous after the vio-
lent Quotations of previous days
whatever the experiments the
manipulators performed early
in the week as feelers appear to have
strengthened the bull feeling on the pit
There was such good buying today that
shortly after noon July, which had opened
sc higher sold &c over the early morning
price. This was done without any very
prominent bulls upon lead and without
any large short interest to help prices up
ward. The Price Current estimate still
gives little improvement in crops and puts
the shortage at 65,0O0,00O bushels Little
attention was paid to the cable and very
few new items of crop interest was re-
pyrted. July opened S519c, sold up
to S61Sc, and back to S5$4c, number
of times. and then on squirt went to
$3.50, and on a latter bulge touched S6Tc,
sagged back to S61sc, reacted and closed at
S61Gc.
There was less manipulation and mar
rover range in the other crop futures. A
very good business was transacted in corn
today The feeling developed was stronger
and trading was within a smaller range of
prices. Receipts were smaller than eX-
pected and this together with good buying
by the short interest advanced prices. An
active shipping demand for cash, and the
anticipation of a decrease in re-
ceipts for tomorrow Were also bullish
features. Hutchinson was reported as a
heavy purchaser. July opened at soc, and
with slight reactions advanced to 5614c
reacted and closed at SIC.
Oats were steady and firm with prices
higher, but the market at the same time
was rather quiet. July ranged between
the opening 3315c, and the close figure,
34I@3414c.
In provisions the late dizziness was con-
tinued. The prevailing feeling was rather
strong. Pork was weakened a little by
the deliveries and offerings of June, but
lari, on the contrary, sustained slight
advance in prices. July pork opened at
s14.10. declined to S14.071S. and closed at
the opening figures. July lard opened at
SS47c:'5, advanced to $3.50 and closed at the
opening price.
