Mr.. ALEXANDER SULLIVAN, since the
notoriety of his connection with the Cronin
case has been so great, has been so I'M
mercifully raked for the homicide in
which Francis Hanford lost his life at the
muzzle of a pistol welded by Sullivan,
that he has felt it necessary to write and
print long letter in relation to that fatal
occurrence. In the course of the letter he
says: ~ regret beyond expression having
acquired the habit of carrying revolver
while lived in the extreme West. For
the first time, l thought of and drew that
revolver with my right hand, which was
free. 1t was so held that / could not take
any accurate aim, and the direction of the
ball showed that no aim was taken" This
is clap-trap. 1t is worthy to be preached
to babes; but men know that Sullivan
went to Hanford's residence with full
knowledge that he was armed; that the
habit of pistol-carrying never becomes in
voluntary, and that no man so far forgets
that he is armed as to enter upon diff
Guilty with another totally oblivious to the
fact that he has superior advantage by rea-
son of the arms he wears. All this
talk about the habit of pistol-carry-
ing being acquired, and becoming
so ingrained that one cannot lay it
aside when he comes into society and
civilization, is the veriest bosh. We
thought better of Sullivan than that he
could be guilty of pleading SO weakly. As
the New York Post well says of the plea /:
SGch habit. if it can be called such, is the
habit of thinking, when one leaves home in the
morning Il may want to kill somebody before
night, SO will take this shooting-iron along,
although it is heavy and inconvenient thing
to lug around, and wears out my Clothes"
The simple truth is, we repeat, that
Sullivan went out TO Hanford's home
armed and knowing the fact, and armed
with the express purpose of using the
arms, if his judgment or his passion should
so dictate.

Fac-Simile telegram.

The facsimile telegraph, by which man.
uscripts, maps or pictures may be transmit
ted, is species of the automatic method in
which the receiver is actuated synchron-
ously with its transmitter. Bv Iepoir's
method picture or map is outlined with
insulating ink upon the cylindrical surf
ace of a rotating drum which revolyes un-
der point having a slow movement along
the axis of the cylinder, and thus the con-
Quoting point goes over the cylindrical
surface in a spiral path. The electrical
circuit will be broken by every inkmark
on the cylinder which is in this path, and
thereby corresponding marks are made in
spiral line by an ink-marker upon a
drum at the receiving end. To produce
these outlines it is only necessary that the
two drums be rotated in unison. This sys-
TEN is of little utility, there being no APP
parent demand for fac smile transmission.
particularly at so great an expense of
speed, for it will be seen that instead of
making character of the alphabet by a
very few separate pulses, as is done by
Morse, the number must be greatly in
creased. Many dots become necessary TO
show the outlines of the more complex
characters. The pantelegraph is an inter
esting type of the facsimile method. In
this form the movements of pen in the
writer's hand produce corresponding move
ments of pen at distant station, and
thereby fac-simile record.

The Dunkards.

The 'Dunkards,' from several States, to
the number of $4,000, have been holding
their yearly meeting at Harrisonburg, Va.
These curious people prohibit insurance

Providence But they take good care of
their widows and orphans, apparently I'M

years ago, the Dunkards held national

establishment that anywhere on the face of

was not affected at all, although consid-
cradle amount of the pepper was given at
different times, extending over an interval
of several weeks. Moisture was found to
facilitate the change of color to a ruddy
hue, which was again discharged under
the influence of sunlight or of cold, dry
atmosphere. The whole of the pepper is
not required to produce the change, a por-
ton of it being quite inactive, as for ex-
ample the piperin and several extractiyes:
similarly the red coloring matter alone
had no effect on the color of the feathers.
1t is rather the triolein. which occurs in
the pepper in large quantities, together
with the characteristic pigment, which
brings about the change of color by hold
Ing the red pigment of the pepper in solu-
ton. Glycerine may be used instead of
trlolein to bring about the same result.
The same statement holds good with re-
gard to the feeding of birds with aniline
colors. The red pigment of the pepper is
also stored up In the egg yolk as well as in
the feathers. The first appearance of this
colored pigment in the yolk can be OBJ
served as colored ring four DAYS after the
commencement of feeding with the pig
ment dissolved in fat Continuing this
diet for forty-eight hours will result in
the coloring of the entire yolk. As these
experiments have proved so instructive
and interesting they are to be continued
throughout the present season, when the
results will be embodied in report to the
Berlin Physiological Society.

PROPULSION OF VESSELS.

DR.. Jackson of New York and DR..
FIeischer of London have each invented
what they claim TO be a new means of
propelling boats at very high rate of
speed, claiming that even thirty miles an
hour may be attained by heavy passen-
ger vessel The invention consists simply
of ejecting through pipe but little below
the surface, stream of water under pres
sure of 1850 pounds to the square inch.
They differ only in the application of the
jet at different points below the water line,
in the one case the election being
either side the stern and the PROV, and in
the other amidships. We do not think
we are mistaken when we say that this is
no new invention. Within very few
years an inventor, of this city, operated
boat upon the Sacramento river that was
propelled by the election of streams either
side of the boat at or just below the water
hue. It was abandoned because the cost
OF maintaining the power was in excess Of
the benefits of the results. We think that
a similar invention was tried upon Lake
Michigan as far back as thirty-fy years
ago, and that a Baltimore inventor ex-
perimented many years ago, in the same
direction. But in this we may be in
error, since the inventions may not have
been precisely like those Just referred to.
1t is certainly true, however, that expul-
sion of water from vessel has been many
times considered as a motor. and has
uniformly been abandoned. 1t is possible,
however, that the later inventors have
overcome the economic obstacles and have
defeated what were held to be the
mechanical impoSsibilities in the use
of stream OF water as stated,
as means of propulsion. We
are assured that DIR. Fleischer has had a
fair.sized vessel running by the means de-
scribed, and with success between Kiel
aIa Copenhagen. Assuming the invention
to be practicable for the propulsion of
boats, great advantages and benefits are to
be seen in it. There will be very much
less machinery necessary than in the appli-
cation of steam power 10 wheels or screws.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2lst-The audience

fly and when he came to the bench Lang
advanced to him in an angry manner
shaking his pencil at him threateningly, and
fined him $40. Goodenough swallowed his

TEE CANADIAN LINE AGAIN.

The New York Epening Post cannot be
charged with Partially toward railway
arrangements. That journal has been
taking this question of the competition OF
the Canadian Pacific Railway with Ameri-
can roads under consideration and while
1t speaks as yet with conservative caution,
ii is very plain to discern that the Post is
not prepared to accept the Boston idea,
that New England must be concerned in
her desire to consort with the foreign road
at the expense of home lines of transpor-
sation. After stating that the testimony
shows that New England is firmly opposed
10 any legislation that will have the effect
Of restricting the traffic OF the Canadian
INES which enter Its territory, the Post
says that last year the case was somewhat
different. Then the fishery question was
PENDING, and the statesmen Of Maine were
wrought up greatly on the subject of re-
salation upon Canada for antagonism to
what we believed to be our interests.
1t appears now that the State of Maine,
and the city of Portland in particular, are
she most resolute of all in insisting that
no such retaliation shall be thought of.
But IN this frame of mind they are not
very different from Boston. Indeed. New
England has apparently forgotten that
there is any fishery question, or any such
place as Gloucester. If her views could
govern, there would be no change in the
Commerce Act, and no refusal of the bond
ing privilege to the, Canadian Pacific Rail-
ways extension across our northeast terri
tory. This would be very happy ending
OF the dispute if we had to deal merely
with the fishery question, the Irish aues-
ton, and the feelings stirred up by the
Presidential campaign. But there is one
thing more TO be considered, and that is
whether we can allow the Canadian roads,
not equality merely with our own roads,
but an advantage over them in this, that
the former are not subject to the long and
short beul '!siuse of the Commerce Act.
while the latter are. The Canadian roads
can take through traffic at as low rates as
they choose, and recoup themselves by
higher rates on their local traffic. The
Portland Press thinks that although this
policy is open to them, they will not adopt
1t, because such course would create a
public sentiment in the Dominion that
would demand and compel some regula-
tions to put an end to the practice" This
is trife hazy, regarded as a condition for
regulating the railway traffic of several
millions OF people. The most probable
course of the Canadian railways would be
to take whatever steps would bring them
the most money, and then wait and see
what the effect upon public sentiment
would be. 1t is not within our experience
that railways run very far ahead of public
sentiment to the detriment of their own
interests"
