dollars, although several Illustrations are
given OF the grander style of suburban
house. The article will be found full of
practical hints for those contemplating
the bnilding of a home. This article is
the third in the series on homes
r. l.. GodlSin, in his acute essay, shows
how strong force is exerted in the State
and on the individual by the love of social
appreciation, aud how necessary it is that
the right of a man to his own reputation
should be adequately protected. He
makes some pertinent suggestions as to
the infringement of these rights by news
papers, and finds some remedy in more
speedy trial for libel suits, and, above all.
in developing a sentiment which shall
cast social discredit on those newspaper
men who invade the privacy of homes.
s'The House of Tembineka" is one of
the first fruits of Robert Louis Steven
sons long voyaging among the islands Of
the Pacific. 1t is the song celebrating
his parting from the king of Apomama,
and is full of harmonic imagery. The
illustrations are from original photo
graphs of the king and his subjects.
1.-THE Last Slave-ship' is the romantic,
but entirely true narrative of voyage on
q SLAYER from New Orleans to the Congo
and back to the West Indies in 1859. The
author, George Howe, NJ. D., had just
been graduated at a medical school, and
accepted an opportunity to go with some
freedmen to Liberia. That part of the
voyage accomplished, all DISCUSSES were
abandoned and the vessel sailed to the
Congo for twelve hundred slaves. DR..
Howe's description Of the voyage is
frank, picturesque. and exciting. 1t will
undoubtedly be widely read, as probably
tine last record of an eyewitness of the
slave traffic as carried on in an American
vessel.

SPECTACLE LENSES.
The Diamond Plays Important Part
in Cutting Them Out of Sheets of Glass

The Diamond Plays an Important Part
in Cutting Them Out of Sheets of Glass
The work of cutting is all performed
with a tiny fragment of diamond, known
in the trade as spark. 1t is not every
spark. however. that will cut lens. The
sparks are mounted in the f0IloWi ng
manner:-A piece Of brass wire is sci &C.
ted, say three-sj jxteenths of an inch in
diameter, hole is drilled in the end
large enough to admit the spark, and it
is set in the hole with the point up The
outer edge OF shell of the wire Is beaten
inward and holds the spark firmly in
place. The wire is then placed in the
lathe and cut off just back of the spark,
turning the end hemispherical. using the
point of the spart that sticks through the
brass as a centre. A piece of steel wire
is next selected of the same diameter as
the brass wire, and the end is turned in,
forming cup.
The mounted spark is then soft-sold-
cred into this cup and tits ready for the
machine, which works automatically
from a pattern, and can be set to cut
larger or smaller than the pattern. Be
fore the mounted spark is placed in the
machine, however, it is tested by holding
the handle upright. II it does not cut in
an upright position. the point is unsold-
cred by means of the blowpipe and the
handle resoldered, leaving the cutting
point at the required angle, while the
handle itself is upright. When the spark
is found to cut we'll in an upright position
1t is then placed in the machine for trial.
The glass is placed upon pad under the
spark, the glass varying in form
according to the kind of lens being
cut. II the lens is fiat, the pad is also,
and If the lens is convex the pad is con-
cave, and must be q perfect fit; for the
better the fit, the more accurate will be
the work. The pattern and glass travel
around while the diamond remains sta
tionary. The life of spark is short, some
being only one day, while once In a while
they can be worked for year. The
workmen average fifteen dozen pair of
lenses per day. A good diamond will cut
on an average of 500 dozen pairs.
The average lens measures four inches
around, and dozen pairs would be eight
feet. In cutting 1,500 dozen pairs The
spark would travel over surface equal
to piece of glass 1900 feet long. There
are exceptional sparks that cut for
months. now have one which has been
in operation for fifteen months, and has
cut 1900 dozen pairs, travelling about
81, 900 feet. We use two kinds of sparks,
the Brazilian and African, and they cost
from S3 to IS each. An1ei'icGn JeaUeler.

Mr.. Lehlbach's .LiberaIity.


Congressman Lehlbach, of Newark,
has shown himself far superior to his
party in thestand which he has taken
on the Federal Election bill. His
speech, which was fully reported in
THE SUNDAY MORNING NEWS yester-
day, showed that not only is the
proposal of the Reed Nc Kinley-In-
gals combination revolutionary and
dangerous to the country; but also
that it is damaging to the party which
advocates it, in the last degree.
Mr.. Lehlbach has the sense to per-
ceive that there are aggressions on
popular rights which voters will not
endorse, and he calls ON his party to
halt before they have turned all the
liberal sentiment of the country
against them.
Mr.. Lehlbach's allusion to the
punishment of election crimes in this
State, is well-timed and effective. He
says plainly that New Jersey demo-
Gratis are Furnishing the crimes of
their party, and he plainly believes
that both parties have in them germs
Of seif-purifcation which in the long
run are the best protection against
danger TO the Constitution.
We are happy to acknowledge Mr..
Lehlbach's services to the cause of
liberty, all the more because he is a
political opponent. Wehave no doubt
but his position on this bill will
greatly strengthen him with the peo-
Pile of Newark.

Summing Up.
local question

Ex-Judge Garretson's address in
favor of the indicted ballot box stuff
ers is a marvel of ingenuity. AS might
be expected from counsel Of such
ability, the facts are dovetailed into
new combinations in way that must
be bewildering to the jury as it GER
tainly is to the outside public.
But, Mr. Winfield's turn comes now.
He will restore things to their
original shape, and they will by no
means look as smooth and pleasant
as they do under Judge Garretson's
skillful manipulation.
Then the Judge will take them in
hand, and he will freeze them into
sparkling crystals of cold truth. FL
nally the jury will get hold of them,
and they will condense the whole tes-
timony into about one word.

THERE is good news today for the
residents of the West Bergen district.
Twelve lots are to be purchased at
once at West Side and Ege avenues as
a site for a new public school. This
district is one of the most progressive

one of the most neglected. 1t is to be
hoped that the new building enter

Half Child-Half Panther.

haAA Onllu-AAH1A KAubnbrs
A singular freak of nature is at
tracting much attention in this neigh
borhood. 1t is the one-year-old child
of Mexican woman living a short
distance from town, which child seems
to partake more of the nature of
wild beast than of a human. 1T has
the curved claws of an animal of the
feline race, sharp pointed teeth and
short, coarse hair bristling all over it's
body, which is of a peculiar brown
and tawny hue. When hungry or
made angry the creature emits cries
that are exactly like those of a pam
ther and is fierce and unmanageable,
scratching and clawing savagely If
any attempt is made to neddle with
it. 1t subsists almost entirely on raw
meat. which it tears to pieces, growl-
ing and snarling like wild animal at
any one approaching it while it is eat
ing.
During the day the creature seems
to lie half asleep, coiled up in a bed
of straw, but at night prowls about
the house, and If allowed will make
for the woods. 1t is possessed of in
credible strength, leaping easily dis
tances that strong man would find
impossible. The features OF the
strange being are good and its express
sion at times very intelligent and hui
man and even melancholy, its eyes
being large and speaking, but if
noticed or approached at such mo-
ments will assume a mischievous, inn
pish look and begin leaping and
grunting. While perfectly able to
walk erect it seldom does so, but pre-
fers to run about on all fours, which
it does with the greatest ease and ac-
tivity. 1t has never spoken an arti-
culate word or attempted to, but its
voice when it screams is extraordin-
arily powerful and ear-piercing.
The mother is extremely sensitive
on the subject and generally refuses
to allow the child to be seen ii she can
help it, but DR.. Abramsohn, who at
tended her at its birth, says that it
nursed naturally at first until when,
at three weeks old, its teeth appearing,
it bit her savagely, infiicting wound
that seemed to poison the flesh so as

her accession to the throne and show

present day was very charming girl
