will not reach out after wealth even for

Russell could not help strongly APP
proving this decision, and he wondered
| Why the words did not give him good
impression of the man, but they did not.
s.There must. be something under all
this, he thoughts don't believe the
invention is of any value On the con-
trary, an examination of the nfeeae!!ss nffeeaaee!s
convinced him that the invention was
an electro motor destined to be of great
practical utility. He had not deceived
Mr. Ray in saying that he understood

deed, he was able to point out a possible
minor improvement in Deering's device,
and thus to win the inventors respect.
When they had discussed the model
thoroughly, Russell had no doubt that
it was the very thing he wanted. Moth
ing but the terms remained to be set
tied.
On this point Deering was very firm.
He would waive no right whatever, and
he was with difficulty persuaded that it
would be necessary for him to remain
for time in the dark as to the exact
nature of Russell's relations with the
capitalist. Finally Russell said: II
don't want your invention, except as a
loan. l will take it and give you my l..
o. U. for it, or any other legal or Illegal
instrument which the ingenuity of the
law can devise. 1t shall bind me to re-.

remember, of course, that in analytical
geometry, equations of the second
degree involve two dimensions; of the
third degree, three. We know them as
length, breadth and thickness. Now
then, an equation of the fourth degree
should involve four, hence the ques-

fourth dimension?
"I'm sure don't know" said Alice,

Hardly, in geometrical sense. We

"Didn't / tell you? I've joined a

you. You're in it. We couldn't think of
any other man who knew enough to be-

Russell wondered whether there were
any other men who didn't know enough
to keep out of it. He had an instanta-
neous mental picture of himself in the
act of maintaining an instructive con-
versation with eight or ten girls.

When Russell called at the house OF
the Rays again he was quickly made
aware that change had come upon the
daughter of the millionaire. Nobody
could have failed to perceive that Alice
was Of more sober and serious mind
than she had been before. The chair
which she had been occupying was sur
rounded by books Of an educational and
forbidding character, and though there
was suggestion that the young lady
had tired of each in turn and had thrown
them all upon the floor, still their mere
presence was portentous.

continued.

''Therel have made you confess, /"

"Indeed he had done nothing of the

"And so it was an independent dis

reason why you would not talk with me
except on frivolity. All, we'll; Ihave
discovered it too"
'Miss Ray" said Russell, solemnly,
''you are wholly mistaken. My style of

the effect of sullen discomfort.

Acting Secretary Grant to-day received

that the State Department would have no

in the ordinary calendar OF open dipio

WASHINGTON. April 4.-Mr. Tsui Kwo Yin,
the Chinese Minister. and suite arrived
here last night from Peru, to which coun-
try Mr.. Yin is also the accredited Minister
Plenipotentiary. A reporter called at the
Legation to-day, and, as the Minister could
not be seen, called the attention of Mr..
Ho, an attache, to o telegram from San
Francisco. published in tho afternoon
papers, to the effect that the Chinese mer-
chants in San Francisco would forward to
Washington protest against the appoint
ment Of ex-senator Blair as Minister to
China. Mr.. Ho, evidently speaking by au-
thority, said that no information regarding
such a protest had been received, and that
he was confident that should it arrive the
Minister would not present it to the Presi-
dent. He believed Mr.. Blair would be &C
oeptable to the people and Government of
China.
MIR. Blair was among the Presidents
callers to-day. He confirmed the report
that ne was going to China, but said he did
not expect to leave for that country for
several weeks yet. He said his sentiments
in regard to the question of Chinese immi-
grafton had been misrepresented by num-
Der of newspapers. He was willing. he said:

PLATE AND wINcoW-GLAss WAR.
An Advance Of go to 80 Per Cent Pre-
dicted-Price-Lists Increased.
[By telegraph TO the Disp,


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 4.-The war that
has been waging between the manutac-
turers of plate and window-g glass for the
past wear has reached its end, and IL is pre-
dicted by leading st. Louis dealer that
the price Of glass will advance from 40 70
80 per cent, exclusive of rebates to deal
ers, within the next few days. The dealer
has already received private adyices OF the
coming advance, which he asserts areposi-
lively reliable. The last year the prices OF
window and plate-glass reached the low
est mark in years.
During the winter Just passed the price
has continued to go down until such low
figures have been reached that dealers all
over the country have overstocked for no
other reason than that they regarded glass
as q fine investment. They were iosing
money steadily for quite period.
MANUFACTURERS COMBINE.
The manufacturers have evidently deter
mined to combine, and all the leading
factories in the United ststes will raise
their prices simultaneously. New price
lists are now in the hands OF the printer
and are expected to arrive every DAY, when
the stocks at present in hand will be i'm
mediately raised according to the increase
in the wholesale price.
STOCK SMALL.
The product on hand, the manufacturers
claim. Is very small owing to the immense
orders that have been received from deal
ers during the winter and early spring.
Yesterday o prominent st. Louis dealer
telegraphed o large order to Pittsburgh
house, receiving an answer which stated
that the order would be filed at q price
which was considerably Of an advance over
prevailing figures.

HALIFAX. N. s., April A-The Newfound-
land papers received here are filled with
the most violent articles in denunclation
of the British Government in its treat
ment Of the Colony in relation to the
French fishery nights.
The Herald. the organ of Sir Robert
Thorburn and Sir James Winter. says:
"A crisis Of the most momentous impor-
lance has arisen in connection with the
French shore question and peremptorily
demands immediate action by the Legisla-
ture and the people Of this colony. In a
word. the British Government have an
nounced their determination to procure
the enactment of the coercion act, by the
provisions of which they may enforce any
agreement they may make with the French
without our consent and against our most
urgent representations. Such conduct Is
most eowardly and treacherous and pro-
perly represented to the British public
would be almost universally condemned"
