Automatic Delivery Of Letters.

An invention which is exciting great
deal of interest on the Continent, where
the fat system of residence is so much
in vogue, is an automatic electric letter
and parcel deliverer, produced by a resi-
dent of Geneva. AS its name implies,
the apparatus is designed to distribute
automatically on each floor and to all
the tenants Of house the letters or par
GELS which may be addressed to them.
A large box situated on the ground floor
contains as many apertures as there are
floors or tenants in the house. When a
letter or other object is introduced into
one Of these openings the box rises, and,
in passing, distributes in each of the re-
ceptacles in the antechamber Of theperson
addressed the articles intended for them,
each tenant being in turn advised of the
arrival of the article by the ringing OF
an electric bell.
The working Of the apparatus is ex.
tremely simple, as the following few de-
tails will show, and its cost is iusignif
cant: The object introduced into the
box on the ground floor effects, at the
top Of the house, an electric contact,
which opens the valve Of q water tank.
The water fills cylinder, which serves
as counterpoise and raises the letter
box which, while in the act of passing
each private box, opens itself by an in.
genious yet simple mechanical arrange
ment and deposits the respective con.
tents therein. When the carrier box has
arrived at the top floor the cylinder
empties itself, and the box descends to
its place and is ready for another trip

Krider is Elected by Over 1900 and it
Candtdates.
The official count will have to be
brought into requisition to determine just
who Ia elected on the county ticket.
Sheriff Krider ia elected by over 300 ma
jority. Maudru and Mack would surely
have been elected had the Democrats un.
derstood the law. A cross mark was made
In front of Csmpbell's name and the voter
thought that he was voting the entire
ticket. The Republicans suffered
some by this but the Democrats suffered
more,
Hon. John E. Monnot claims the county
for the ticket with the possible exception
of Joseph Obsrlin for representative.
This claim Is based on the best informa-
ton that can be obtained but is not
given as official. 1t will take the
official count to determine the result.
Maudru's majority is placed at about 10.
Mack is probably elected by 13 but this is
in doubt. Weybrecht ia also in doubt but
the best authorities state that he is elected.
Campbell's majority in the county will
approach $50. The Republicans .concede
9c.
In the county 1854 votes we're cast for
Campbell alone. The intent of the voter
to vote the straight ticket 10 obvious and
the entire county ticket would have been
elected but for the ignorance OF the voter.
All that can now be done is to wait for the
official count.

The pottom steadlly SINKING.

Scientists tell us that, counting from
the sea level, the lowest body of water
on the globe is the Caspian sea. For
centuries its surface has been gradually
settling down until now it is eighty-fve
feet lower than that of its near neigh
Dor, the Black sea, which also lies far
below the level of the ocean. The COM
mon conclusion has all along been that
the. Caspian sea was merely losing its
waters by some means, but recent In
vestigations have shown this not to be
the case.
Soundings made and compared with
records Of soundings made more than
100 years ago reveal the astounding fact
that there is still as great a depth Of
water as existed then. This leaves but
one hypothesis that would seem to be
tenable: The bottom of the Caspian Sea
is actually sinking. There is much
speculation in scientific circles relative
to what the final result will be.-Boston

lABSO UTElY PURE
EnrtIiannkes.

Several shocks Of earthquake which
have recently been felt in various quar-
ters Of the globe at about the time of the
new moon recall the interesting theory
that the earth is more frequently shaken
near the periods Of new and full moon
than at other times. Lists of earth.
quakes covering many years have been
prepared which seem TO favor this theory.
The reason assigned is similar to that
by which we are able to account for the
greater height of the tides at new and
full moon.
When the moon and the sun are on the
same side of the earth, as is the case al
new moon, they unite the force Of their
attractions in heaping up tho waters of
the sea. The same thing happens when
they are on opposite sides of the earth,
as at full moon, for then each, by at
tracing in an opposite direction, assists
the other in pulling out the ocean, 80 to
speak, as one might pull out the sides Of
O rubber ball.
According to the theory in question,
the same forces Of the sun and moon
which raise the tides put strain upon
the crust of the earth which, by causing
the strata of the rocks to slip and slide
little, produces earthquakes.
When the moon is at its quarters its
pull is at right angles to that of the sun,
and then, as is we'll known, the tides are
lowest. Then, too, it is argued, the
strain upon the crust of the earth is least,
If this theory is true, how wonderfully
sensitive the apparently solid globe must
be to the impulses conveyed to it by the
attraction of bodies hundreds of thou.

The Peanut Crop of 1seI

New York city annually consumes
about 100000 bags, or about 100000
bushels of peanuts. The market is con-
trolled by the Virginia stock. Last July
the report was current that this season
the peanut crop would not be more than
one-half as large as it was in 1880 or
1890, when it was, respectively, 1,60o,-
900 bags and 4,0O0,0 900 bags. BY August
an average crop was reported. Today
the story is to the general effect that the
crop is not as large as last year. In
other words, there is some talk Of q
shortage in the Virginia crop. The pea
nut crop of North Carolina, on the other
hand, is predicted to be the very largest
in the entire history Of that state.
Last season peanuts were worth about
nine cents per pound; this year they are
worth four oents.-New York World.

Tried to Hatch Out a watermeson.

The following story comes from Daw-
son, Ga: "James Grier, who lives near
here, has turkey gobbler that is a curl
osity. Mr.. Griers turkeys consisted of
two hens and gobbler. The hens made
nests about seventy-five yards apart in
Mr.. Grier's melon patch, laid their nests
full Of eggs and went to setting. The
gobbler got lonesome and concluded that
the proper thing for him to do was to set
also. He got an equal distance between
the two turkey hens, squatted over a
guinea watermelon and set for six weeks
before he was discovered. Mr.. Grier
thought that his gobbler had been stolen,
and was utterly astonished when he
found him in the patch trying to hatch
out Young watermelons"

There was a great deal OF difficulty ex-
perienced in getting the returns from the
various wards and prcc nets in the
county. Canton did very well and had
her returns in early. In the townships
however there was difference OF opinion
among many of the judges
with reference TO just what should
be done with the returns. Clerk Porter,
of the County Board of Elections, had
given out an abstract of votes In blank
form, to be filled out and brought in sepa-
rate from The regular tally sheets. These
slips were to be used so that the various
COMMITTEES could form baois of estimates.
The judges sealed this slip up with their
regular sheets, and it could not therefore
be seen, as the law is express in such
cases.
The Republicans received their returns
at the Tabernacle, and they became very
jubilant as the returns came in. Major
Mckinley made a speech in very modest
manner. A telegram was received from
Ex. Governor Foraker and Chairman Hahn
and then the crowd cheered.
