The Father of shorter Hours.

FROM TIE BOSTON tlobc.
The iith Of May stands in the calendar
Of industrial progress as the 18th ami
versary of the birth Of Robert Owen, the
most famous labor champion Of the nine
teenth century. In these days of struggle
for shorter hours the virtues of this great
philanthropist are naturally called up.
Nothing could have been more pitiable
than the condition Of the working classes
in England when he began his grand ef-
forts To amcliorate II about the beginning
of this century. The movement for
shorter hours is properly an educational
one. The workingmen now agitating il
are moving steadily, nationally and peace
ably forward. The constant increase Of
productive power makes il just that the
workingman should enjoy his share of the
saving Of labor, and in the end justice
will prevail.

MArat Was Convicted.

The proof that Marat, the French revo-
l~utionary leader, was really convicted OF
theft has set at rest IA long standing con.
troversy. Marat was in England i'm 1116,
was accused Of a theft of old coins, es.
capped to Ireland, was apprehendcd at an
Irish assembly i'm the disguise OF a Ger
mar count and was brought from Dublin
by habeas corpus for trial I'm England. A
contemporary letter describing the as,
sizes of 1875, at which II was thought
that Marat would have been tried. Is
silent. The clerk Of assize TO the OXFORD
circuit has at last supplied the missing
link in the evidence by finding that Marai
was convicted at the assizes which com.
menced at oxford on March 5 and ended
on March :, la. The delay in the pro
cccdings is accounted for by the absence
of the accused in Ireland.

current therefore is one ampere. And for the
resistance in ohms we have O=V-A=5O-
1=50 ohms.
MORE SIMPLE CALCULATIONS.
If on the other hand this 5O-watt lamp is
so constructed that it takes 100 volts to
bring it up to 16 candle power, we have W.
WA. that is, 50=100x1z, so that the cur
rent in this case is only half what it was in
the other, but the pressure is doubled. If
we wish to figure how many so watt lamps
can be worked with one electrical horse
power, all we have to do is to divide the
number of watts in one horsepower by the
number of watts per lamp, thus TAG.
50 nearly 15 lamps. If there is no use
full work to be done, that is, if there are no
lamps or motors in the circuit, all the
electrical energy will be expended in heat
ing up the conductor, and this heating Of
the conductor is calculated by the product
of the square of the current into the resist
ance.
There is nothing hard in the above
figures, and if they are read over two or
three times. the reader will be surprised at
their simplicity, as well as pleased to know
that he can now talk intelligently on the
fundamental principles OF the electric form

forthcoming of his innocence. Not only
have most of the beats been shortened, but
in quiet and secluded spots likely to be
selected by the fendb for the perpetration of
another deco, officers are to be seen parading
in twos and threes.
Instead Of a man being at a certain point
on his beat once every half hour or 35 min
utes, that point is passed by q constable
every 15 or 20 minutes, so that in some parts
the woman slaughterer would have but a
very brief space of time in which to decoy
his victim, mutilate her and get away unde-
tected or unseen. Plain-clothes men also
patrol these quarters, while others are con-
cealed in the courts and alleys frequented
BY the women.
1t is noteworthy fact that, whereas dur
ing the last murder season" the police
were persistent in their efforts to clear the
streets at an early hour, their aim at the
present time appears to be quite the reverse.
Formerly women were seldom seen out
alone after o'clock in the morning; now
from midnight to daybreak they are to be
seen prowling about in all directions, utter
ly regardless OF the threatened danger.

From the accompanying plan it will be
noticed that the miscreant has confined his
operations to a comparatively small area,
and as he has faithfully carried out his
avowed intention-as expressed in his first
letter to the police-the latter still deem it
expedient to concentrate their forces within
the boundary originally planned out by the
Ripper" himself. The last epistle received
by the police from Jack the Ripper" was
to the effect that the writer was iully aware
of the precautions that were being taken,
while at the same time he assured the officers
Of the futility Of such measures. He threat
ems tenth murder under their very noses.
1t remains to be seen how far this bold
challenge will be fulfilled. In the mean
while halt London nightly quakes with

instructions not to repulse any man who
solicits them. They are guaranteed that
they will be followed and that in the event
o: any violence being attempted they shall
receive immediate help. Provided that
they can be kept sober the police consider
these women well qualities to act as decoys;
but the "iree solicitation" order has already
reused the ire of the army of moralists who
are ever eager and ready to embrace an op-
portunity of this nature, and ventilate
through the medium of the press their
philanthropic, but nevertheless, unhealthy
views.
AS an extra precautionary measure the beats
in Whitechapel and Spitalields have been
completely reorganized, and the officers WI
were formerly employed on duty In the To-
cality of the murders have been recalled to
their old beats. 1t is argued that these men
will more readily detect the presence OF
strangers and recognize more quickly any
former suspect. Already several arrests
have been made, but in each case the suspect
has been set at liberty on satisfactory proof

informed circles the renewed activity of the
Scotland Yard authorities has been freely
commented upon; indeed, never have the
police displayed such activity in their efforts
to trace the Whitechapel fend as at the
present moment Superintendent Arnold
and several of the chief detectives confess
that it was a gross mistake TO regard the
Jack the Ripper" postcards and letters as
a hoax. They now incline to the belief that
the communications have emanated from
the real murderer, for although several ar
rests have been made on evidence which
pointed strongly to the suspects as authors
of the diabolical correspondence, neverthe-

The figures can be cut from brown cloth
or denim and eouched, or they can be colored
with thin oil paint; in this case brown shad-
ing to yellow will give good effect. The
edges should be outlined with heavy brown
linen floss. The fringe, like that of the cur
tain, is Of brown hammock cord, and is
knotted into the edge of narrow band of
burlaps, which fits tightly round the top of

Not Enough Density the Outer Ones and
Too Hot on the Inner.
The question whether other planets are in
nabited is always an interesting one. 1t is
certain that the four great outer ones, Jupi-
ter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, cannot
support animal lite. Their density is small
and their consistency more or less liquid
and gaseous. Jupiter, biggest Of the planets,
ihe diameter OF which is more than ten
times that Of the earth, is q sun not yet quite
eKtinguished and even now giving out heat
From time to time a spot appears on its
sur ace, which is black hole in the midst
of the fire Dig enough to drop the earth into.
Saturn is hot, too, while Neptune and
Uranus are so far Of that nothing much can
be ascertsined about them beyond the fact
lhat Uranus has four moons and Neptune
one.
There may be lie on Venus and Mercury,
though it must be warm, inasmueh as Venus
is a third nearer the sun than the earth, and
Mercnry is not half so far away.

Kissing Is the Beginning and the End of the

Philadelphls Times
am able to give you synopsis of Johann
Strauss new opera, "Ritter Pazmann. The
wife of the Ritter, when wandering in the
green forest, allows herself to be kissed by
a gentleman, whom she mistakes for her
husband. After she arrives home she mar
rates her adventure, whereupon Knight
Pszmann rises in his might and his stirrups
and swears, like the ancient Queen Isabella
of Spain, nevermore to change his dress
until be finds the scoundrel who insulted
his wife.
, Ritter and wife now travel near and far
pursuing the villain, and finally come to
the Kings court, where the injured lady
recognizes in His Majesty the man they are
looking for. A court of justice is estab-
lished to hear the knights grievances; the
fool is elected judge, and he decides that
Pazmann shall kiss the Queen, and this done
the opera ends without bIoodshed.

PROVING THE FIGURES.

To prove that this is correct we can de-
termine the pressure for one lamp in the
following way: We have 1000 volts to
force the current through 20 lamps, there
fore it will take 1,000-20=50 volts to force
the same current through one lamp. The
energy required to keep the lamps burning
is ], ,O6Ox10=10, 600 watts and 10, 0,000-746 will
give the energy in horse power, which is
nearly 1917. Ii the lamps are run for ten
hours, 1t will require l36 horsepower hours
to do the work.
II we have 60-watt lamp, giving. say 16
candle power under a pressure OF 80 volts,
we can figure what current will be needed
to keep the lamp burning, and then, know
ing the current, we can figure the resistance
in ohms. For if the lamp takes 80 watts OF
power to bring it up to candle-power, using
the pressure of 90 volts, the current is found

that the curse and blight of SLAYER

can not but deplore the attempt to re
vive sectional issues by the introduc

OF the union and glory in the achieve
ments OF our citizen soldiers, and ex
press ourselves as heartily in favor O.

deserving veteran and giving him such
a pension as shall secure him against
want for the remainder OF his days,
and asking like provision for the widow
and the orphan.
We favor the Australian or some
similar system Of balloting which will
insure to every citizen the right to cast
his vote according to his own judy
ment, free from corruption and intimi-
dalton.
We are opposed to all trusts formed
for the purpose of increasing the cost
OF the commodities of life, and believe
the reduction of the present iniquitous
tariff to be the best means to destroy
and impede their growth.
We favor an amendment to the fed.
eral constitution which will take the
election of United States senator from
the state legislature and place it in the
hands OF the people, where it belongs.
We favor the placing of the silver
dollar on its former footing with gold
coin in our coinage law, with equal
legal tender qualities, and we denounce
as unjust and dishonest the law re-
Gently enacted as discrimination in
favor of the gold coin for the benefit of
the money power, and we further de-
clare ourselves in favor of the free

We roundly denounce the mainte-
nance of the state militia as an expen-
sive republican luxury of no benefit in
any respect and demand its immediate
repeal by the next legislature.

The possibility of inoculating ca tile

in successive applications. In one
case thirty cattle were inoculated and.
though turned loose in an infected
