Views on the Alliance Waterloo.

Topeka Capital: The backbone of
calamity is broken. Such a complete
disaster to a new party is irretrieyable.
Anarchy, communism, calamity and
pessimism will never ride the waves
again in Kansas as a reprOach and
humiliation to her people. The dun
derheads elected to represent the state
at Washington will blunder through
the fifty second congress, rafting
round in the shoes of their brilliant
predecessors, and then be retired to
utter oblivion.
The defeat of this party of demagOg-
ism and treason is the salvation of
Kansas. 1t shows that our farmers
are to be trusted to think for them
selves, that they are convinced of the
errors Of these pyrOtechnics of finance
which have been shot off every time
peoples party statesman opened his
mouth and that they are satisfied with
the glorious history of the republican
party in control of the government.
The state is to be felicitated on this
complete and final triumph of reason
over humbug.
Topeka Democrat: The telegraphic
reports received from all parts of the
state leave little doubt that, in the
result of the elections yesterday, the
republicans have received a signal and
unexpected victory.
1t can be said that in scarcely
county in Kansas did the peoples party
hold its strength at the polls yesterday.
The defeat of the calamity" party
was crushing and complete.
1t is doubtful if the peoples party
yesterday carried half dozen counties
in the state, where there was a contest.
The party of PETER, of Jerry Simp-
son and of Otis is going down as fast
as it went up in Kansas.
1t touched its zenith in the frenzied
and unmanly calamity wall of year
ago, and it now drops with dull thud,
no more to be heard of.
Before Senator PETER closes his six
years in the United States senate, the
peoples party will be memory, and an
unsavOry memory, in this state.
Democrats as well as republicans
can rejoice in this victory.
1t is not, in the broader sense, a
partisan victory.
1t is victory for manhood, for self
respect and decency, for good govern
ment.

> The Hutchinson News gives this
incident to show the result of the late
election ard the effect it had upon
Kansas and her securities: "a respOn-
sible farmer who needed some money
attempted some weeks ago to negotiate
a loan on his farm. He wanted 1000
at 10 per cent interest but could not
get it. He tried to get 81 800 on the
same security, but failed. The result
of the election was then in doubt.
Loan companies did not care to place
a dollar until they knew what kind of
district judges we're elected. AS soon
as it was known that the peoples party
had sustained a crushing defeat, the
agent who had refused to make loan
of 81 500 at 10 per cent, at once hunted
up our farmer friend and offered to let
him have S2,OOOon the same security

The city authorities Of Rovigno, on the
peninsula of Istria in the Adriatic Sea,
have discovered little south of the
peninsula the ruins of large town at
the bottom of the sea. 1t has been OBJ
served for some years that fshermen's
nets were sometimes entangled in what
appeared to be masses of masonry, of
which fragments were brought up from
the sea bed. A year or two ago a diver
declared that he had seen walls and
streets below the water.
The city authorities decided to inves-
tigate. They sent down diver who, at
the depth of 50 feet, found himself
surrounded on the bottom Of the sea
by ruined walls. He says he knows they
were the work of man. He is builder
by trade, and he recognized the layers OF
mortar.
Continuing his explorations, he traced
the line of the walls and was able to dis
tinguish how the streets were laid out.
He did not see any doors or window
openings. for they were hidden by the
masses of seawead and incrustations. He

100 feet, where he had to stop, as
his diving cord did not permit him to 60
farther. He had proved beyond doubt
that he had found the ruins of q once
inhabited town, which, through some
catastrophe, had been sunk to the bottom
of the sea. Some people think they iden-
tify this lost town with the island men,
toned by Pliny the Elder, under the
name of Cissa, near Istria. This island
can not be found now, and it is thought
that the submerged town may have been
a settlement on the island that so mys
teriously disappeared. The peninsula OF
Istria is neck of land, jutting into the
Adriatic ON the east, above Croatia, and
belonging to Austria.

ANN onia rs q Motive Power,

A most successful test was made in
this city of the use Of ammonia as n
motive power to displace steam. The
test was the first that has ever been made
on marine engine, and the trial was
most satisfactory. An ammonia engine
plant has been fitted out on the tug L. w.
Hartley, which made a trip up and down
the river, subjecting the new scheme to a
practical test 1t is known as the Camp
bell ammonia engine system. and its
workings are novel and interesting. not
only to the mechanical and scientific cir
cles, but also to the laymen of the indus
trial world.
Any ordinary engine can be converted
into a Campbell ammonia engine simply
by the addition of generator, which
is much like boiler. Steam is used
simply for the purposes of heating the
aqua ammonia in the generator. The
heated ammonia expels o gas, leaving a
weak solution Of ammonia in the bottom
Of this boiler like affair. When, by
raising the temperature of the ammonia,
sufficient power is generated the throttle
valve is opened and the gas passes into
the cylinder Of the engine and propels
the piston rod in every way the same as
steam. 1t is here exhausted the same as
steam. but at this point the gas is cooled
and conducted back to the generator.
Before it reaches the latter vessel it is
carried by "spray coil" to point
where the gas comes in contact with the
ammonia solution which has been re-
jected from the generator, and here the
solution is recharged by absorption and
by the natural affinity existing between
water and ammonia.
BY this means the same body Of am
monia is used constantly, exhausting
itself only to be recharged with new life
and to be returned to the generator. The
same is true Of the water used. The
steam in the generator imparts its heat
to the ammonia and is thereby condensed
and carried back to the boiler to be used
again. In the ammonia engine there is
absolutely no waste. On the other hand
there is saving Of coal, as the engine
can be operated on one-half the amount
of fuel. On the Hartley only one of the
two furnaces was used, and there was all
the speed and pressure that could be
desired. d.-Philadelphia Record.

A Tree Village.

One of the curious features of some of
the islands of the Pacific is the tree vii
lage. One of these villages on Isabel
Island is built on the summit of rocky
mountain, rising almost perpendicularly
to the height of 800 feet. The trunks Of
the trees, in the branches Of which the
natives have erected their houses. are
perfectly straight and their surfaces
smooth, while the distance from the
ground to the first branches varies from
90 to 150 feet. One of these novel abodes
is at height of 80 feet above the ground,
while the home of neighboring one is
DO feet higher. Each house is reached by
a ladder made Of some creeping vine,
which is suspended from one of the door
posts, and can be drawn up when it "
desired. Each house is large enough ts
contain 10 or 10 persons, together with
ammunition for long siege. Such lofty
habitations are only occupied in time OF
war, at night, or when danger is ex
pected. At other times the more con
venient and accessible huts on the ground
are preferred.
