Nothing in the Fsyohioal Quest.

Tho Boston Tr0ns0ipt has information
that next week at the annual meeting Of tho
American Society for Psyohical Research
the dlscontinusnce Of that organization will
be considered. 1t is not proposed to abandon
psychical reaGarch altogether. but to merge
the organization In the British society Of the
sane name, as q branch Of the latter.
This would be gentle way Of confessing
that there is nothing In the psychlcal hunt.
II there had boon any result of Importance
during the two or three years Of the Amer
lean Soclety's fresh enthusiasm, or even any
reasonable promise Of important results
later on, the interest would now be on the
Jump. instead OF on tho tumble.
The researches Of the British Society have
been scarcely moro productive. The printed
literature Of that association is voluminous
but not very rewardinR. The reports sub
mitted from time to time by Its many COM
mittees, and the monographs presented by
tho more active and persistent Investigators
among Its members, contain good deal Of
interesting matter, but precious little that
10 really useful to science
Tho quest has found nothinR, because
there Is nothing to find. 1t has accumulated
Q number OF ghost stories, tales of warning
by dream or by telepathy. marvellous coin
ctdences. and surprising events Of various
sorts. 1t has not established q single case
OF apparltion or OF telepathic communica-
tion. II it had established one ghost or one
telepathic message. by evidence which
science could accept, the work would be
done. One ghost proves tho oese.

have forgotten about the Worlds Fair In wran-

that 1t is pronounced with the g hard and the

the word is French. and should be sounded
somewhat like 'Ongelu." with a very marked

Aquestion which chanced to be asked by
THE Sun the other day. OF the Kansas Oftv
Times particularly. in regard to the apparently
greater power Of endurance OF o half-bred
trotter. Judged by the possible speed for q
quarter or for q mile. over the thoroughbred
running horse, is replied to In another column
by a very interesting and sound. though not
completely exhaustive letter from MIR. JOSEPH
CAIRN SIMPSON of California We commend its
perusal to the practical philosophers upon the
interesting matter OF breeding trotters.
The point that Mr.. SIMPSON fails to consider
is this; The difference Of two seconds only be-
tween the rate Maud 8. can show for q quarter,
80 seconds. and that which abe can show
for the four-ouarters In 0 mile, 80 seconds. is
probably deceptive. for the reason that 80 SEQ
onds, In all likelihood. is not the actual limit OF
the mares powers. Be ahorse as honest" as
the day. 1t is doubtful II 1t can ever be urged
ON q trot to the same extreme and unsparing
effort that can be got out OF O running horse
The latter can be strung out" until he
reaches absolutely the final and unpassable
limit OF his powers. Ia cunning him up to the
lGst notch there is no other problem for him or
his driver than to squeeze out the last ounce OF
strength in his body. But we do not believe
thRt.for flights OF extreme speed any trotter
will hold its gait under such merciless press
ure, and consequently even In the most honest
and resolute there will be always certain
amount Of force held In reserve. Very likely
Maud g., II the last jot OF power could be got
out Of her for quarter. as 1t can be got out
of q running horse. would stop the watch at
20 seconds. or possibly short OF that.
Mr.. SIMPsoN argues that the trot Is o loss ex-
haustinR gait than the run. and he explains
satisfactorily why he thinks So But besides
the mechanical reason for its being less ex-
there is another no less potent cause
In the trotter's refusal to exhaust himself.

A Compliment.

The Scienii6c American, which holds a high rank among scientific and techu- ical publications, pays Mir w. s. Wilson the compliment of illustrating the wheel of his invention, patent for which he recently received. The paper says: The illustration represents a wheel constructed entirely of metal, wi h pro- vision for an interior fluid circulation. whereby the expanding or contracting of the tire will be prevented. IL is pa- tented invention of MT. William S. Will. son. of Tombstone, Arizona. Fig. Iisa vertical section through the wheel, it's hub and box, and Fig. Is a transverse section through the box, illustrating the attachment thereto of the spokes. The hub box consists of an inner tapering section with ring at each end, there being between the rings longitudinal slot and aPertures. The tapering sec ton fits into casing section, upon which IS fitted spoke sleeve, with a series of
 
 studs to receive the spokes, which are tubular, and preferably round at their outer and f,ltened at their inner ends, The fely IS made of singl. piece of metal bent upon itself to be U shaped in cross section, and the outer end of each spoke is dIshed to fit the C, lindrlcal inner or borom wall of the feI'y, the in- ner end being Aattened to fit the studs of rhe spoke sleeve. The spokes are held in position at the top by tubular tie rods, and in one side of the felly, at any con- venient point, is an opening, ordinarily closed by screw cap, into which sufi- cient oil and water are introduced to es- sentialIy fill ihe space within the felly and the tubullr tie rods of the spoke. In winter, alcohol is substituted for the oil and water, and the liquid is designed to act as heat distributor, preventing the expansion of the tire section by heat generated by the friction of brake or the locking of the wheel while going down long mountain grades, the i'm provement being especially adapted for very heavy wagons.

TROOPS.
A Detachment from Fort Grant Ordered to the
 Front to Patrol the Line,

About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon Troop F, Tenth Cavalry (colored) from Fort Grant, arrived in this city under command of Captain Kennedy. They went into quarters on the base ball grounds and left early this morning. The entire command consisted of 46 soldiers and 10 Apache scouts. Cap tain Kennedy received orders Thurs day morning from Colonel Grierson to immediately proceed to the line and patrol it until further orders. From here the command went to Bis bee, where it will relieve the soldiers stationed there, if necessary, and will then proceed to the line and spread out in small squads. The ten Apache scouts are under the immediate com mand of an Apache who Is a gradu- ate of the Indian school at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and who speaks Eng fish huently. He and his brother scouts were the central objects of ad- miration by our ladies, who constantly crowded each other in their efforts to get view of the "noble red man."

A New DeDarture.

It is reported in Nogales that the Mexican authorities of Sonora, have given orders to the ranchers and stockmen to not let any person go upon their ranges to gather cattle or stock of any kind, to drive across the line into Arizona. It is also stated that the Mexican authorities have or dered the gathering up of all foreign cattle now on the ranges, in Sonora, and driving them to Magdalena, there to be sold as strays. To confirm these reports, MT. James Breen was in So- nora, near Agua Zarca, last Wednes- day, gathering some of his stock. He had found few and was driving them towards the line when he was met by 8 Mexican vaquero who ordered him to turn the cattle loose as he had in- structions from his mayordomo so to do. IL is believed these measures are being adopted in retaliation for the bill, now before Congress placing such a prohibitory tariff upon the importa- ton of Mexican cattle.--Nogales Rec ord.
