CHANCE FoH FUNNY WORK.
A Double-Lipped, Ballot Box to
Figure in Contest.

"A DOuble-Lipped. Ballot BOX to
Figure i'm a Contest.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., March Up in
the room of the house committee on
elections to-day stood ballot box that
will figure in the debate OIL the Feath-
erStOne-Cate election case next week.
The box is plainly and simply made of
TIN and looks like any ordinary cheap
ballot box. But there is a popularity
about it that appears only up0n close
inspection. The orifice wherein the
ballots are placed is double, so that a
ballot if placed on one side slips into
the box, but if placed on the other side
slides unperceiVed down into waste
basket or upon the floor. The contest
ant (FeatherstOne), asserts that twenty
one of these boxes were used in one
county at the election in Arkansas, and
that as the Republican ballots were
marked in blue to distinguish them, it
was an easy matter for the Democratic
election managers to see that they did
not 90 into the ballot boxes and get
counted. The double-lip around the
Orifice can readily be taken off, leaving
the box absolutely honest in appear

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Another
important step toward the entire con-

number of workmen were employed

senate inner walls carefully closed up,
the double doors securely fastened, the

that no secret news will leak out

BLOW AT BUCKET SHOPS.

OFF Quotations


CHICAGO, March IA new blow at
the bucket shops was struck to-day by
the board OF trade. That at least
is the way the action taken
this afternoon by the directors
of the board is generally regarded. The
directors decided to abolish the gather
ing and dissemination of quotations.
The destruction of the elaborate system
in que is To occur March 81. What, if
anything, will be substituted can only
be surmised. Most people believe
that the cessation will be only tempo
rary, and that after having broken up
the advantages now enjoyed by the
bucket shops by reason of various in
functions, the board will at once resume
the service. 1t is even asserted that the
stoppage will not last at the outside
over tWenty-four hours.

The Sahara's March,

Sand dunes from the Sahara desert
have been seriously encrcaching upon
the cases in the southern part of Tunis,
and awhile ago the French government
sent f. Blanc to sec what could be done
to prevent the desert from further adj
vances upon the oases. He has returned,
after carefully studying the problem
He reports that, in his opinion, the whole
southern part of Tunis is IN process of
gradual desiecation. The desert is slowly
extending its boundaries to the north.
Far within the present limits OF the des-
ert Mr.. Blanc found numerous ruins of
buildings erected during the Roman oc-
cupancy, showing conclusively that at
the dawn of the Christian era fertility
and verdure reigned where now only the
sterility of the desert exists.
AS yet Mr.. Blanc is unable to suggest
any practical measures for saving the
cases from gradual extinction. His Or
ders were to see if steps could be taken
with advantage similar to those employ
ed in France to prevent the sand dunes
along the Gulf of Gascogne from en-
croaching upon the cultivable lands.
His answer is in the negative. The
great difficulty in the way Of fighting
the evil is the lack of water, and he
doubts that a sufficient quantity can be
secured by means of artesian wells. The
scene of his investigations is in the south
west part of Tdnis.-Paris Special.

A Boston Barn Party.

By far the largest, most gorgeous and
generally merry social event OF the sea-
son in fashionable Boston was the recep-
ton and ball given by Commodore and
Mrs. w. L. Weld at their home in Brook
line last night. The affair was celebrated
IN the commodores handsome new barn,
and was in honor of Miss Pratt, of Com
monwealth avenue, who is a niece of the
commodore, and her friend, Miss Mary
w. Barnard. Over l 900 invitations were
sent out, and up to midnight something
like 600 guests had responded in person.
The barn, or stable, where the event
took place is an imposing structure, not
deserving by any means of 50 humble an
appellation. II is reported to have cost
800, 900, and is constructed of gray gran
te. with battlemented towers on the four
corners and ornamental cornices, turrets
and iron work in profusion, the whole
slumounted by Il cupola of elaborate de-
sign, combining to give it an elegant ap-
s2ssraace from the outside. Within it is
Gtted up in equally sumptuous style. and
being new, was a splendid place of en-
tertainment. Score after score of car
riages traversed the devious roads which
wind through the hills and woods of
Brookline, and, pulling up at the can
opy extending from the front doors,
deposited their loads of guests and made
room for others.
Inside the scene was one of rare beauty
The interior of the building was lavishly
decorated with flowers and potted plants,
eyergreens and bunting. Happily placed
lunches of electric lamps gave out
brilliant light, and the yellow pine finish
of the walls, together with the bright
hued gowns of the ladies, made a picture
not easily to be forgotten.
The main portion of the stable formed
>famous ballroom, and the polished floor
was excellent for dancing. To the rear
of this, in the carriage store room, Cater
er Burton served the refreshments, while
the harness rooms, stalls and apartments
for the help served as ante-rooms, cloak
repositories and conversational hooks.
Cheeney's full orchestra furnished the
music. Altogether, the ''barn warming"
at Mr.. Yields was q noteworthy success
about which every one will talk for days
to come.-Boston Advertiser.

Invention and Ice.

1t is pleasant to observe that the old
proverb about necessity being the mother
of invention has not lost its force, and
that the threat of a total absence of our
natural supply of ice is met by the de-
monstration that modern science will be
able to make the lack good, if the obsti-
nate winter weather persists in its refusal
to put in an appearance where it will do
the most good.
The unique situation which may be de-
veloped is indicated by an offer of con-
Germ in New Orleans or Galveston, where
natural ice in really solid form is an un-
known article, to furnish New York next
year with artificial ice as clear and hard
as the best ice that was ever turned out
by the severest winter on our northern
lakes.
For New Orleans to ship ice to New
York would be o greater trade paradox
than the shipment of coal to Newcastle.
Yet the ability to do it successfully has
been demonstrated; and, in the case of
failure of nature to make ice, the only
reason why it will not be done will be
that it may be cheaper to set up the APP
pliances and make ice in the north than
to ship the products of the southern fac
tories already established.
That is what has already been an
nounced to be done in this city. 1t is
interesting to be told, as those who have
investigated the subject affirm, that the
ice produced by artificial process is really
better and colder than that produced by
nature, at least in these latitudes. This
is for the reason that the degree of cold
which is attained in the artificial process
can be made far lower than that of our
winter, and thus the ice be manufac-
tured with degree of hardness and So
lidity that leaves the genuine article
entirely in the shade. This conveys the
pleasant assurance that mint claret
punch will not be tepid next summer or
ice tea an unattainable luxury. Pitts

Where Tho Nieke, Comes From.

In the Copper Cliff mine, near Sud
bury, Canada, it is said more nickel is
being produced than the entire market
of the world calls for at cursnt prices.
A little branch off the main line of the
Canadian Pacific railway, four miles in
length. leads out to the mine, which
opens into the face of a crag of the brown,
oxidized Laurentian rock, characteristic
of this region The miners are now at
work at a depth of about 800 feet below
the surface. As fast as the nickel and
copper bearing rock is hoisted out, it is
broken up and piled upon long beds, or
ricks, of pine wood, to be calcined or
roasted, for the purpose of driving out
the sulphur which it contains. The roast
ing process is of the nature of lime Kiln
ing or charcoal burning. Each great bed
of ore requires from one to two months
to roast When roasted the rock goes to
the principal smelter, a powerful blast
furnace "jacketed' in mining phrase
with running water, to enable it to sus-
tain the great heat requisite to reduce
the crude, obdurate mineral to tluidity.
The drosS of the molten mass Is first
allowed to flow Off and afterward the
nearly pure nickel and copper, blended
together in an alloy called the 'nat," or
matte, is drawn off at the base of the
furnace into the barrow pots and wheeled
away, still liquid and fiery hot, to cool
in the yard of the smelter. The mat con-
tains about 20 per cent. of nickel, the re-
naming 80 per cent. being mainly cop
per- When cold. the conical pot loaves
of mat can easily be cracked in pieces
by means Of heavy hammers. The frag-
ments are then packed in barrels and
shipped to Swansea, in Wales, and to
Germany, where the two constituent
metals are separated and refined by secret
processes, which are very jealously
guarded by the manufacturers.
So .iealously is the secret kept that no
one in America has get been able to learn
the process although one young metal
lurgist spent three years in Swansea as
common labOrcr in the factories in order
to obtain it. At present there are pro
duced daily at the Copper Cliff mine
about ninety pot loaves of mat, each
weighing near 450 pounds, an output
which yields an aggregate of more than
4, 900 tons of nickel Manufac-
