DIGESTIBILITY OF MEATS.
A Table Taken from Beaumont's ssExperi-
ments on Digestion"

"A Table TAKEN from BeaumOnt'S stEXp0ri-
meHts on Digestion"
According to Payen, without there
being any thing absolute in those quail
ties which depend on the particular
state Of the digestive organs of different
Individuals or on their idiosyncrasies,
we may say in general that meats are
more easily digestible the less strong
their cohesion and the less their hard
ness. We might thas establish between
them the following order, beginning
with the lghtest: Sea and river fish,
fowl, game, crustaceans, lamb, veal,
beef, mutton, wild boar and pork.
In these categories are generally con-
sidered heavy and hard to digest, sal
mon, eels,. geese, ducks and some other
water birds, as well as strongly smoked
and sailed meat On the time required
for the digestion of different kinds of
food:
Roasted pork =. 81. Boiled milk. -. 200

The above is taken from Beaumont's
Experiments on Digestion" Dalton
comments on these observations as fol-
lows: ''These results would not al
ways be precisely the same for different
persons, since there are variations in
this respect according to age and tenn
permanent. Thus, in most instances.
mutton would probably be equally
digestible with beef, or perhaps more
so; and milk, which in some persons is
easily digested, in others is disposed of
with considerable difficulty. But as o
general rai@ the comparative digesti-
bility Of different substances is no
doubt correctly expressed by the abova

Experiment. with Ropes and Wires.

Some interesting experiments have been made by a French engineer to as- certain definitely the strength, extensi- bility and elasticity of round and flat ropes of hemp and aloe, and of iron and steel wire In these investigations there were employed a horizontal hy- draulic press and weighing apparatus consisting of a steel yard and sliding weight by which tension of 1S0, 900 pounds could be recorded, and for higher preSsures a gauge on the body of the press was used. Specimens were fastened by winding each end on a grooved pulley of special construction, the usual length of the specimens being thirteen feet.
 The result of all the tests gave for the average tensile strengths of ropes the following: White hemp, 10, 800 to II, POO pounds per square inch; tarred hemp, 7,700 to S,400; white manila, $500 to 10,6OO; white aloes, $500 to 1000; flat tarred hemp and manila, 7.SOO to 8, 400. A factor of safety of four, or even three in some cases, IS considered safe rope. A rope of un- annealed wire has an ultimate strength of about 55, 900 pounds per square inch of section of metal. When annealed the ultimate strength is reduced to about 5000 pounds; but the elOnga- ton is nearly doubled, being nearly 12 to 15 per cent. in annealed wire. The best wire ropes for mining purposes have a much higher tensile strength.- New York Telegram.

SOME RE-. SONS.

We beg to present CalUw some reasons why you should vo>e the Republican ticket next Tuesday:
 The Republican Iarty favors recip- rocity, which if carried out with Mexico would bring thousana5 of dollars into Arizona.
 The republican parry by wise legisla- tion raised silver from 70 cents to a sL19.
 It found every mill in Pima County silent. Five are now going with an an nual output of over half million dol lars.
 It opposes the importation of silver bearing lead ores free of duty.
 It had the courage to denonnce poly gamy.
 It opposes Chinese labor and cheap contract labor of any kind.
 It favors preserving public lands foI actual settlers.
 It favors tax upon luxuries, and a freedom from tax on the necessaries ot life.
 It favors the admission of territories to statehood.
 It upholds the reputation of America abroad.
 It is opposed to child labor in fac tories.
 It favors ballot reform.
 It favors free untramelled ballot and a fair and honest count.
 It proposes to draw TO picayunish line when rewarding the brave men who preserved the Union.
 It opposes priveleged classes, and is composed of the masses.
 It passed the benefcant protection and homestead laws.
 The republican party liquidated the tremendous war debt brought on by democrats.
 It restored the national credit which had been ruined by democratic admin istratiOn.
 Itrepealed the democratic law with drawing every foot of public land from entry.
 It tpurchased AlaslaEat a price which pays 200 per cent on the investment.
 It has developed the National re sources. Our wealth has multiplied population trebled; .erritory expanded under the republican rule. The republican party never countenanc- ed the sale of human Iesh; stuffed bal lot boxes; used tissue ballots; coaxed "niggahs" to vote at mouth of shot gun.
 It has never been obliged to take a test oath.
 It has never obstruoted public busi- ness. The repubh party has never been obliged to rene y its oath of alleg- lance to the United ~ates.

A TWO SIDED BILL.
10 Created a Tremendous Sensation in ths
 Treasury Department.

10 Created a Tremendous Sensation in ths
 Treasury Department.
 There was received at the treasury department one of the most peculiar bank notes ever seen among the millions upon millions of currency notes printed by the government. It was a S2O note or S10 note, just according to which side was up, for by some remarkable mistake the one side was printed with the figures and devices of 8 s2O bill, while the other had all the figures and devices of a S1O bill
 The note was returned to the treas ury by the cashier of the First Wash ington National bank of Jersey City, who sent it with rather sarcastic note, intimating that his bank was not going into the freak business, and added that as the treasury had counted that bill for S20 he would trouble them to send him an ordinary S20 note. The affair created sensation, for no one had ever seen such a wonderful note before. The matter was referred to the depart ment of issue, from which the note had been sent out to the Jersey City bank. The mistake was promptly corrected and an immediate investigation begun
 The investigation was prosecuted with vigor, and Gen. Meredith found the cause of the trouble. It seems that the four notes printed on sheet are not all of one denomination. There are always three of one kind and the | fourth of another; thus, in this case, { three tens and a twenty. 1t was an easy task to learn just when this bun dle had been printed, and by which plate printers. They were examined, and it developed that one sheet of four notes, after having been printed on one side. had fallen off the bundle to the floor. The assistant who picked it up by some unfortunate oversight turned the sheet upside down when she placed it on the bundle.
 The rest is easily understood. This sheet was printed on the second side with 20-face on the reverse of ten, and one of the three 10-face on the re- verse of the one 9 of the steel. Hence there were two ''10 20s" in the lot. Thus the mistake was corrected. But no good explanation was offered, or can be offered. why these two bills, passing through a score of hands, each one of whom is supposed to examine every bill most carefully. should not have been discovered.
 l Every person in tile bureau who handles a note is held responsible in the strictest way, and it is almost in- credible that none of these people should have discovered the mistake In the department of issue are not less than six counters. whose business 1t has been for years to count the notes be- fore issuing them to the banks. They are considered the most expert counters in the world, and yet all six of these wonderful experts allowed such bill to pass through their hands. No trace has been found of the second hybrid, so that it must be wandering around the country Tine two notes will be kept in the treasurer's office as curiOs- ities.-Baltimore Sun.

No republican should permit himself to be deluded into the belle that the result of local elections will nof have a direct effect on our national ticket. A breaking down of party lines in munici- pat and territorial contest weakens ana hurts the party and thereby lessens its chances foI -ucce5s in a general eiec- tion. Here, a Arizona where the silver question cuts such an important figure, the loss or gain by change Tn admin istration is distinctly felt. As a party the republicans voted for and passed laws stimulating silver mining. As a party, the democrats voted solidly against it. If by serious breakdown
 in party lines n the coming elections, a democratic legislature is elected and a democratic delegate Is sent to congress. Arizona will be kept from statehood. On the other hand republican victory means statehood and three representa- tives in the national congress. A demo- cractic victory in Arizona, would be looked upon as a dissapproval of the republican legislation on silver, and coming, as it would, from the heart of a silver country, would have great weight in influencing future legislation on white metal. These facts should be weighed by republicans who desire to scratch"
