There are more petty cases before
me to-day than usual, said Judge
Miller, but ! guess the majority Of
them are owing 10 the enthusiasm over
the election. Arthur simmons was ac-
cused OF having disturbed the quiet Of
Georgetown. The officer told how
hilarious and talkatiye simmons had
been.
He had good reason 10 be hilarious,
but did you hear him use any swear
words, asked the Judge.
He certainly did, answered the
officer.

The Strauss Orchestra a few months
ago gave In Washington three OF those
particularly delightful concerts which
have made the Blue Danube musicians
and their music famous throughout the
world. There Is little to add In an
nouncing their appearance at Albaugh's
next Sunday night and at Lincoln
Hall on Monday. Those who heard
the performances then will desire 70 90
again and those who heard Of them only
will undoubtedly hear them this time,
for never has waltz music been played
with sHch enchanting and fascinating
effect as II is by the Strauss Orchestra
under the baton of Herr Eluard Strauss.
This will be the last opportunity Of
hearing the orchestra IN this city, for
Herr Strauss and the entire band are
booked 10 return TO Vienna By the

AT u o'clock at night he examined
the trays and found that there was all
ways more moisture on the glass inside
The trays than outside, that there was
always q deposit Of dew inside the trays
and that there was often a debosit ont
side the trays but the deposit outside
was always less than on the inside, and
sometimes there was 20 deposit outside
when there was one inside. These facts
evidently prove that far more vap1r

Than condenses as dew on the grass.

Another method then suggested itself
to Mr.. Aitken in order TO strengthen his
conclusions He considered that II
vapor continues to rise from the ground
during dewy nights, as we'll as during
the day, the ground giving of vapor
must lose weight Accordingly he
weighed small area Of the surface Of
the ground, before and after dew had
formed, and found that during the
formation of the dew vaper had escaped
from the ground, because 1t had lost
weight. He made this set Of expert
ments: He prepared a shallow pan six
inches square and quarter inch deep
and in II a Slightly smaller piece Of
turf, which he cut out Of the lawn. The
pan and the turf were then carefully
weighed in an open shed with balance
sensitive enough to turn with one.
quarter grain. The turf was cut at
sunset, when dew was forming.
After being weighed the pan and turf
where placed In the open cut In the
lawn where the turf had been cut out.
They were left from j:1j D. m. 90 1915
p. m. on October and then weighed
when II was found that the loss of
moisture was q grains out of $500
grains. Numerous experiments were
made with similar results. This de-
cisive test showed clearly that the soil
loses weight and that vapor really arises
from the ground even while dew is
forming therefore, the dew then found
on the grass must have been formed
out Of the vapor rising from the ground
at the time. The dew on the grass
was In fact, formed by the cold grass
trapping the vapor as Il rose from the
ground, the blades acting as a kind OF
condenser. Mr.. Aiken next set about
making parallel experiments on the
bare soil and was successful In finding
similar results.
-.
These two facts, then, have now been
established. that what was long con.
sidered to be dew Is merely the exuda.
ton Of vigorous plants, and that true
dew rises from the ground. Brilliant
rlobules are produced by the vital &C.
ton OF the plant-the liquid being the
tiIir riip Of cgetation-showing life

when the deep red setting sun makes
them gllsten all a-tremble with gold

THE KEMMLER CASE.

Death BY Electricity Held to BE Consti-
tutionaI In Capital O6enses.
RoCHEsTER, n. Y, Dec. 31.-The
general term of the fifth department.
has handed down a decision in the case
of Kemmler, the murderer condemned
to death under the new law providing
for the killing Of criminals by cleo
tricity.
After reviewing the experiments
made upon animals by electricity and
the accidental death of men, through
the same instrumentalitY, the judge
concluded: 1.-The light of the scientific
evidence in this case is sufficient,
as we think, to remove every
reasonable doubt that the pas
sage of a current of electricity of
certain well-determined intensity
through the vital parts of the body I'M
der chosen conditions of conduct and
resistance, must result in instant
death. If the question were of
the adyisability in the change of
the mode Of inflicting death by
capital punishment the dis
cussion might be prolonged. AS we
are confined to the question of consti
nationality we deem further discussion
unnecessary. The order dismissing the
writ Of habeas corpus and demanding
the prisoner must be affirmed"

The Showing For the Past Year Not So
Favorable as to foreclosures.
CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-The Railway Age
says that the year 1889 makes much
less favorable showing in respect to
foreclosures than did its immediate
predecessor, although on the other
hand it's record is much less discourage
ing than in the three years preceding
1888. A table is appended showing
that during 1889 twenty-five roads
were sold under foreclosure. They
had an aggregate mileage of 1880
miles and a total funded debt and cap
ital stock of $1S7, $4,000.
n Among the lines so sold were: The
Wabash, with 94S miles and 1927, 900, 600
of capital; the Cincinnati, Washington
& Baltimore, 2S1 miles; the Richmond
& Allegheny, with 252, and the narrow
gauge Denver, South. Park & Pacific,
325 miles, and Port Austin, 21S miles.
The record for 1883 was nineteen fore
closures, covering 1886 miles and $64,-
$50, 900 capitaliZation; in 1887, thirty
one failures, covering 5,478 miles and
1923, 1S1 900 capitalization; in 1856,
forty-fve failures covering 1857 miles
and 1914, 100, 600 capitalization.
During 1889 twenty-five roads with
an aggregate of $500 miles of track
and sS4, 100000 funded debt, and $685.
664, 600 capitalization went into the
hands of receivers, the most prominent
of which was the ST. Louis, Arkansas
& Texas. with 1,17O miles of line, and
500, 443, 900 of funded debt and S2S, Os3,-

The "Father of the House" Likely Not
Again to Take Part In Its Deliber-
atiOns.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Judge Kelley
is slightly improved. The members of
his family who are here were not sum-
moned to Washington on account of
the judges illness, but came to spend
the holidays with him. While it is
true that the judge has a throat trouble
of a cancerous nature, it is not new
developme t, as Mr.. Kelley submitted
to a surgical operation for the removal
of this growth in 1883. There has
been, however, renewal of the trouble
quite recently, but this was not the
cause Of his present prostration. About
week ago the judge contracted a
heavy cold, which developed into very
severe case of intestinal catarrh, ac-
companied by copious and obstinate
diarrhea, which has resulted in great
weakness and general breaking down
of the system. The judge is extreme
ly anxious to go to the House of Rep
resentatives once.more, but his friends
are Of the opinion that he will never
take his seat there again.

AN ASYLUM HORROR.

Twenty-six Boys Roasted in London
Pauper School Narrow Escape of
Others.
LONDON, Jan. 2.-The boys section
of'the paupers' school in the district Of
Forest Gate, in connection with the
Whitechapel and Poplar union, was
destroyed by an overheated stove by
fire Tuesday night while the inmates
were asleep. Twenty-six of the boys
who were in the upper stories were suf-
located before they could be rescued.
Fifty-eight other boys were safely taken
from the burning building amid terrible
excitement.
Two of the matrOnS of the institu-
ton escaped in safety by sliding down
the water pipes. Several of the boys
escaped in the same way. The super
intendent of the school repeatedly
rushed through the flames and brought
out number of inmates.
The bodies of those who were suffo-
Gated were carried to the main hall of
the building, which was still profusely
decorated with Christmas green's.
: The female department., in which
were $50 girls, was not touched. The
boys retired in high spirits having been
promised presents and New Years
,fete.
The fire originated in a clothing
soom beneath the boys dormitory.
The smoke and flames issuing from the
stove flue alarmed those sleeping on
the top floor and they made heir
escape. The fire engines were prompt
ly on the spot and the employees of an
adjacent railway station rushed to the
scene and rendered valuable assist
ance.
The bodies of the boys were badly
burned but it is believed that they
were suffocated before they were
burned. The ages of the dead range
from seven to twelve years.

Increased Mortality Due to Influenz
Policemen Suffering.

Increased Mortality Due to Influenza
Policemen Suffering.
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The deaths Fri
day numbered 900, against 125 Thurs
day and 165 on Wednesday,. This is
something unprecedented at this time
of the year. Pneumonia, bronchitis
and consumption show an increase over
the standard per day at this season.
The number of policemen reported to be
sick was 357, showing a steady increase.
The increase in the number Of deatha
is attributed to la grippe and the dis
eases which follow that malady.
Louis Natal, the well known author
and dramatist. died at the French
hospital from la grippe.
The bureau of vital statistic has re-
ceived four death certificates on which
the cause of death was given as ''epi-
demic influenza" The officials, how
ever, positively refuse to give the
names of the people who have so died,
for some neXplained reason.
