A Cat Out in Cana da.

The publication of the reciprocity
correspondence by the Canadian
Government puts Secretary Blaine
and President Harrison in q rather
curious light. Mr.. Blaine was ex-
cesslvely anxious that the people
should not know anything about the
negotiations. In one Of his letters to
Pauncefote he said: IF an agree
mont is reached, all is we'll; if not, no
official mention is to be nude of this
effort. Above all things it is i'm
portant to avoid puolic reference to
the matter. This the President will
insist on" There is a "burn-thl
letter" flavor about this that will
strike the public disagreeably. The
mildest Interpretation that can be put
upon the anxiety Of the Administra-
lion to prevent any knowledge Of its
proceedings from reaching the coun-
try is that it wanted the reputation
Of an unbrol1en record OF successes in
It's foreign policy. But the plan of
burying all failures is risky as we'll us
dore ctivo in point Of morals. Some
thing is sure TO leak out sooner or
later, Just as it has now in Ottawa,
and then public confidence is gone.
We know that the Administrative has
succeeded in negc tiatipg reciprocity
arrangement with Brazil, and it is
said to have negotiated one with
Spain. But now that We have learned
it's rule Of exhibiting only it's sue
cesses, how many skeletons Of futile
attempts may we not suppose to be
hanging in ite dark closets?- Exam.

Swallows Successfully Trained to Act as
..... Carriers.
The experiments lately made in the
north OF france py nj. jean UesbouVre
in training swallows as carriers have
proved SO successful, says the London
Chronicle, that they will probably re-
suit in the establishment of regular
training stations. M Desbouvrie be-
gan his experiments By taking u nest of
young swallows and thoir mother, and
letting them fly from his doorstep ut
Roubaix to their nest under the tiles
above. He gradually increased the
distance to Lille, from which they re-
turned to Roubaix in about four min
utcs-over a mile minute. 1t
last the birds were taken to Paris,
one hundred and forty miles from
their homo, to which they returned in
IN incredibly short space of time. M.
Desbouvrie at last arranged race be-
tween his pigeons and his swallows
from Poris to Roubaix, the result Of
which was the triumph of the swallows,
who were homo three-quarters of I'm
hour before their rivnls, the distance
covered being, as we have said, about
one hundred and forty miles. 1t is pro-
posed to hold grand swallow competi-
ton this summer in the north of France,
ut which valuable prizes will be
awarded to the owners of the winning
birds.

County Official Paper
THE REVIVAL oFs:FoKAKER

Tho man who controlled the Ohio
Republican Convention is Joseph B.
Foraker, once Governor Of the State.
He was the hero Of the occasion. His
presence called forth the cheers of
the delegates. He named the candi-
date. In his speech of acceptance
the nominee clearly limited that he
had pound himself to secure Foraker's
election to the Senate. Ia short, the
kepu blicans OF Ohio have made For
aker their leader as definitely as they
have made Mckinley their candidate.
Who is Foraker? Two years ago he
was caught in an attempt to ruin the
regulations Of his opponents, both
Democrats and Republicans, by lying
and perjury. Employing a man
named Woods, to whom he had prem
Used the Office of Smoke Inspector in
Cincinnati, he used forged and
imaginary contract to create sus-
pioion against prominent and public
men of Ohio. The evidence shows
that Foraker had reason to know that
the paper was forged, and yet he
attempted to use it for the destruction
OF his opponent for the Governorshlp,
James L. Campbell, of Senator Sher-
man, Mr.. Mckinley and others.
It was one of the most dastardly
crimes ever attempted in the history
of American politics. The people Of
Ohio tumbled its perpetrator out Of
office. The Republican party stands
by him, makes him it's leader, and
practically offers him the Senatorship
In place Of the veteran Sherman.
The party that will do this must be
worthy of it's IDOL N. Y. World.

EdlsOn's COsmical Telephone IN nSAr San
Spots HO0r.
One of the most curious arrangements
contrived by this most curious man for
his personal amusement and gratifica-
ton. says the Chicago Tribune, is the
arrangement which Mr.. Edison calls
his ''cosmical telephone" Edison owns
an iron mine ut Ogden, n. j. There is
a bed of magnetic iron ore about mile
long and So feet wide, which lfe says
runs down into the earth for five or six
miles. He estimates the amount of iron
in the mine at 1900. 900, OOO, 900 tons.
Around Ogden there is an enormous in
classification of the magnetic forces Of
the earth. It is well-known fact that
the daily variations in these magnetic
forces, as shown by the needle, are di-
rectly influenced by the disturbances in
the SUMS spots. These variations are
regularly recorded every day Mt Kew,
near London. Mr.. Edison says that at
his iron mine near Ogden he has more
thnn a million times the concentration
of magnetic lines that there is at Kew.
To record the daily variations in his
own magnetic lines at Ogden, Mr.. Edi-
son has constructed his cosmical tele-
phone.
" "There are the most wonderful
things going on in the suns spots all
the time" he says. Didn't you ever
see them? Why, they are beautiful.
The disturbances are tremendous.
Bursts of hydrogen fly out of these
spots 100000 miles long. Awful things
happen up there. You can see them
every day with my telescope"
To construct his telephone he has
surrounded the whole bed of magnetic
iron with poles. On these poles he has
strung q cable of fifteen copper wires.
The ends of this cable run down into a
little house and are connected with the
ordinary receiver of common Bell
telephone. The idea is that the sur
rounding of this enormous bed of mag
netic iron with copper wires will oper-
ate for the formation of gigantic
magnet such as is used in the receiver
of the everyday telephone. Through
this tremendous receiver Edison says
he will be put in direct telephone COM
munication with the sun, only the COM
munication will be onesided. He can
hear everything that goes on up there,
Noo $40 SSLh w bAAJ hC
believes that every disturbance In the
suns spots will cause a corresponding
variation of the concentrated magnetic
limos at Ogden, and that this variation
will be Mt once detected in some way by
the receiver of his cosmical telephone
'Yes, SIR" he says, 81 can hear them
with this telephone. The next time
there is any violent change in the suns
spots which distu-bs the magnetic
lines or earth shall know it, and if
100000 miles of hydrogen go chasing
away from the sun shall hear it,"
The cosmical telephone is not yet
completed, as the wire stringing is not
finished; but scientific people other
than Mr.. Edison will watch with curl
GUS wonder to see what success he will
achieve.
