NATIONAL ELECTION LAWS.
Lodges Bill Will be an Application oi
the Australian System.


WASHINGTON, Feb. at will be some
time before the national election bills are
brought out in both houses. Mr.. Hoar,
who is chairman of the election commit
tee, and therefore has charge of this matter
in the Senate, will probably get his bill out
first, although, after spending all summer
on one form of bill, he had to set it aside
as too complicated In its provisions, and is
still at work on a short aud simple su osti-
tute. But Mr.. Lodge, who is chairman Of
the corresponding committee, and so has
charge of the subject in the House, will
probably wait until the Senate bill, what
ever it is. comes over to the House.
NATURE OF THE TWO BILLS.
Mr.. Hoar's bill, in whatever shape he pre-
sents it, will be on the line of strengthen
iug the present supervisory powers of the
national government. Mr.. Lodges bill will
be, on the contrary, an application of the
Australian ballot system TO congressional
elections. No other scheme can pass the
House, so it may be predicted now that this
is the only federal election provision which
will have any chance of finding its way to
the statute books. Mr.. Lodge takes a broad
view of this subject. He considers the
need for ballot reform at the north as we'll
as at the south, and, knowing the temper of
the north, thinks that his project is the
only possible one.

LEAN MEAT AND WATER.
Recent Experiences of Physicians Show
They Are All-sun1cienf.

Recent Experiences of Physicians Show
They Are An-sunicienf.
Louisville Courier-Journal.1
Can life and health be sustained indef-
nitely upon diet of lean meat and water
without any farinaceous food at all? Ply
, siologists tell US that it cannot; ex-
perience seems to negative that asser-
ton. 1t is highly desirable that
this question should be cleared up
and finally set at rest, both from a
practical and from "a purely scientific
point of view. A diet of lean meat is now
being advocated for several purposes in
practical medicine, and it is of the highest
importance that we should know for GER
tain for what period it can be carried on
without injury to the patient In this coun-
try it is being used chiefly for the reduction
of obesity. but in New York several physi-
clans are making an extensive use of diet
consisting entirely of lean meat and water,
not only for that purpose, but also in the
treatment of dyspepsia, phthisis, ectasia OF
the stomach, and in the absorption Of new
growths; in the latter case it being claimed
that by increasing the metabolism OF the
body recently formed tumors can be ab-
sorbed.
In order to procure these results the use
Of a diet consisting entirely of lean meat
and water is continued Tor period of at
least several months, and the advocates Of
this new school claim that the benefit to the
general health of the patient is marked and
absolute. On consideration of this subject
two conclusions inevitably present them
selves: Either the generally received opin-
ions on the subject Of diet as contained in
works on physiology are unreliable and
should be revised; Or that it possible so to
alter the metabolic mechanism of the body,
by hereditary influence as to enable the m
diyidual to exist in defiance of all the or
binary physiological laws of nature.

Philadelphia Ledger.1
Captain Henry E. Melville, who has just
entered upon his eighteenth consecutive
year of service as superintendent of the city
iceboats, has furnished Ledger reporter
with the following dates at which the Della
ware river was sufficiently obstructed by ice
to warrant the city icebOats being placed in
service since 1872:
Winter Of 1928, December 1; winter of
1894, January 15; winter Of 1874-75, De-
cember 30; winter OF 1856, December 49,;
winter of 1S76-77. December 10; winter of
1877-7S, January 8; winter of 1878-79, De
cember %; winter of 1879-80, December 81;
winter of 18S0-81, December IL; winter of
1882, January 4; winter of 1882-83, De-
cember 20; winter of 1883-84, December %;
winter OF 1SS4-S5, December 20; winter of
1856, January 10; winter Of 1$86-87,
December 6; winter of 1898, December
29. In the winter Of 188S-89 the boats
were kept in readiness with half crews,
but they were not called into service dur
ing the entire winter. The first ice ap-
peared last winter December %, and dis
appeared December 30; appeared again
February 13, and disappeared February
20; again appeared February "a. and finally
disappeared for the season four days later,
the ice at no time being over two inches
thick. By the above record it will be seen
that the chances of considerable cold weather
before the winter is over are very good. In
four winters of the 18 reported the river did
not freeze sufficiently to require the services
of the iceboats until after January 8.

sTOREHOUSES NOT YET TOUCHED.
Vast Wealth of Mineral Deposits In tn
Andes and CordiIleras.

Andes and COrdiIIeras.
1t is not too much to say, saws the London
Spectator, that if all the gold, the silver,
the diamonds. the emeralds, and the rnbies,
the iron, the lead and the copper that have
been got out Of the earth since man first
learned to appreciate the uses Of the metals
and the beauty of the precious stones, could
be heaped together and their value reck-
oned they would prove but mere handful
when compared with what remains to be
won in the now unknown portions Of the
globe.
The Spaniards and their American de-
scendants have already scratched the surface
of hundredTh part of the great mountain
range of South America. Let the popula-
ton of the world increase as 1t NAV. and the
uses of the various metals be doubled or
quadrupled, the Andes and the Cordilleras
will alone supply almost every de-
mand. For not only do they contain the
stores of gold and silver from which
the Incas and other ancient rulers
drew so fabulous amounts of those metals,
but coal, copper and lead are known to be
present in them in great abundance. Nor
are the mineral deposits of Northern Bolivia
and Eastern Peru rendered worthless by
being situated in a country unfit for ha5i 5ita-
tion. The whole population of Europe, says
the Spectator. could invade the great valley
of the Amazon and yet make scarcely a
noticeable impression on its vast solitudes.
