the final result will not be known foI
several days yet Mr.. O'Connor said that
New York gave 81 900, but there were
DOT such tremendous obstacles as in
Chicago. In reply to n remark that their
manifesto would make interesting read.
ing, he said: interesting perhaps. but
sad. However interesting it may be 70
the newspapers, it is sad, unfortunate
work for us"
The report that affection for Parnell,
personally, has swayed Timothy Harring-
ton, the secretary of the Irish National
league, in refusing to sign the document
against Parnell with the Irish ENJOYS,
was not borne out by statement from
Harrington himself Yesterday morning
Mr.. Harrington said, II value the unity OF
the Irish party in parliament much more
than any personal friendships, and / am
convinced il is only by holding firmly to
Parnells leadership that we can maintain
these. IL the Irish priests and people
stand by Parnell in the present crisis rs
believe they will, the English people, who
have so many times affected To be scandal
lied by Us in the past, will soon perceive
that the policy adopted by MS is an honor
able, as well as bold and manly one.

To Train the Nerves

The eye is the best medium through
which to establish the power of concentrs-
ton and the poise of the nervous system.
When one is subject to erratic movements
careful practice of the following exercises
will do much toward establishing nerve
control In fact persons lacking nerve
control should never Willingly make rapid
motions.
Place the palms of the hands toward
each other Bring the fingers as closely
together as possible without allowing them
20 touch At first the hsnds will tremble,
but with each days practice they will grow
more steady, and ultimately the fingers
can be held within an inApitesimal part OF
an inch of each other and still not touch

he played them so that it seemed as if he
had them on wire. Back and forth he
sent them together across the table from
one corner to the other. His playing alone
in the inning redeemed the game from any
mediocricy He made l2S points, when ne

be went TO play. His hands trembled just
little, and he missed an easy shot after
making ten points. Schaefer, little
over-cOnfident, made only one in his
half of the twentieth inning Slosson
seemed glad as he took his cue but made

with brilliant round the table shot. a
miscue retired him after he made IL points.
Slosson made !. From the 22nd TO the

the points to 50 and it is hard to tell
where he would have stopped when he
was kissed off and Slosson again went to
the table. He played the game for all he
knew how, but something seemed to be
wrong with him. He had said that he
never felt filter to play billiards in his life.
Twenty-Five was the most he could score
in his half of the thirty-second inning.
From this on Slosson made more
billiards than the little man from Chicago,

Aurora BnrealiR.

Since the discovery of electricity, and
especially electro-magnetism, all specula-
ton on the nature of the aurora has taken
in that force as principal element, and
modern experiments have been especially
turned to securing proof of the electric
nature of the auroral display. The theory
advanced by NJ. de la Rive, a Genoese scien-
fist, and which is generally accepted, is
that the aurora is caused by the recompo-
sition of the positive and negative electric
ity, always to be found in the upper and
lower strata of air respectively. Miniature
auroras have been produced by electricity
by NJ de la Rive and also by VI. Len
strom. In NJ. Lenstrom's experiments,
which were made in Finland in 1882. the
peak of a mountain was surrounded with
a coil of copper wire, pointed at intervals
with tin nibs. This wire was charged with
electricity and yellow light was produced
on the tin points, in which the spectroscOpe
analysis revealed the greenish yellow ray
that characterizes the aurora bOrealis Tho
aurora was supposed TO be of supernatural
origin by the ancIentS.

Brief Description of Balmoral Castle,
Queen Victoria's Autumn Residence.

4 Brief Description of Balmoral Castle,
Queen victoria's Autumn Residence.
Balmoral castle is situated in beautiful
lsll in Braemar, the southwest district of
Aberdeenshire, ON a natural platform that
slopes gently down from the base of Craig
cngowan to the margin of the river Dee in
iTont The castle commands a magnifi-
cent prospect On all sides. In 1s45 Prince
Albert purchased the reversion of a thirty
eight year lease from the representatives
Of Sir Robert Gordon, who had held it IN
der the Earl of Fife, and in 1852 he &C
CURED the fee simple of the estate from the
Fife trustees for sum of 81, 900.
The old castle not being sufficiently
commodious for the royal family Prince
Albert erected new one at his own ex-
pense, in what is called the Scottish baro-
NAL style of architecture. the castle con-
sists of two separate blocks of buildings
united by wings, and a massive tower IS
feet square rising TO the height of 50 feet,
surmounted by a turret 20 feet high. At a
distance the CASTLE which is built of gran
lite, has strong and imposing appearance,
looking almost as if it had been hewn out
of one huge rock of that material. The
estate now includes Birkhall, Knock Cas-
tie ruins, Loeb Muck and Dark Loeb
nagur," celebrated by Byron, and contains
about 10000 acres, in addition to $4,000
acres of hill ground which have been con-
verted into deer forest.

Mineral India Rubber Asphalt.

According to The Practical Mechanical
Electrician another article, formerly con-
sidered worthless, has been added to the
useful products. and is known as mineral
India rubber asphalt. 1t is produced dur
ing the process OF refining tar 10y sulphuric
acid, and forms a black material very mich
like ordinary asphalt and elastic india rub
Der. When heated so that the Shiny mat
ter is reduced to about 80 per cent. Of the
former size, hard substance IS produced
resembling ebony.
1t can be dissolved in naphtha, and is an
excellent non-conductor OF electricity, and
therefore valuable for covering telegraph
wires and for other purposes where a non
conducting substance is needed. Dissolved,
the mineral India rubber produces a good
waterproof varnish. The manufacture OF
the material is said 20 be very profitable
and to pay the inventor 80 70 500 per cent.

AS long ago as Feb. %. 1888. according to
one version of the origin of Washington s
birthday as holiday, a number of gentle
men met in New York tavern to celebrate
the great generals birthday. They then
agreed to assemble in future on that day,
celebrating it with Odes and toasts. Wash
ington's ascendency shortly after to the
presidency gave new zest to the can
nual, so that in time it became general,
and finally grew into legal holiday"
the people demanding it from custom.
1t is now declared a legal holiday by all the
states except Arkansas, Delaware, Iowa,
Mississippi, Oregon, tennessee, Vernon
