Sary.
J. L. Goodman of Texas, offered this
amendment:
We further recommend that each state COM

county In their respective states who shall CO.

NO POLITICAL PLEDGES.
R. W. NiColls of Saline county, offered an
other amendment intended to give the COM
mittee more power. II was:
And that they be authorized to file our unal-
tera6le and unending objection to the passage Of
any resolution whatever binding the individual
membership OF the Farmers Alliance to any pO-
nClcal course OF action whatever, and we protest
against such action at any previous meeting in
ringing or lnfractlDg upon the individual pOlit-
ical rights OF any member OF the order.
The resolutions were carried with these
amendments, after Mr.. Nicolls had made a
fiery speech denouncing the attempt of the
sub-treasury men to control the politics of
the farmer.
A delegate wanted the word partisan"
prefxed to the "politics" of the resolution.
"We didn't put that in," said Mr.. Nicolls,
"because it was thought there could be no
politics that were not partisan;" and the
delegates motion was swept away in the ap-
plaus that approved this expression.
THE FIGHTING COMMITTEE.
A motion to make the committee that had
reported the resolutions the special commit
tee named ir them, was objected to, and it
was decided that the convention should
select delegates from each state, the chair
man to add two delegates at large. The
committee took recess and the states re-
ported. Missouri reported R. w. Nicolls
and made w. Pope Yeaman an alternate,
greatly to the chsgrin of that gentleman.
Texas chose 7. S. Patillo, Mississippi B. F.
Passmore and Tennessee ]. W. Crews. The
chairman appointed U. s. Hall and W. A.
McAllister delegates at large.
As Mr.. Yeaman objected to playing Sec
ond fiddle to the Missouri delegation, he
was made a United States delegate TO the
Indianapolis convention. After several
speeches in which the speakers pledged
Spartanic persistence in their fight against
the esu0-treasury scheme" the great conVen-
tlon of real farmers (?) adjourned.
The above is true, impartial account of
the convention, which the city papers have
attempted to boom into gigantic proper
lions. A test vote on the first day displayed
a strength of 68 delegates. On the second
day test vote showed 70 delegates present.
OF these, 10 we're from Texas, from Ten
nesse, 2 from Mississippi, from Iowa, 1
from Illinois, and the balance from Missouri.
At no time we're there 200 people in the hall,
and not single delegate was authorized by
his State Alliance. In other words the con-
yention was fiat failure and the partici-
pants the worst set of misguided men we
ever saw. Several of the speakers expressed
the belief that over 80 per cent. of the men,
bers of the Alliance we're opposed to the

Cary in the hundred" he can give Cary
points on graceful running. The Prince

the grace of a deer.
Baker has won twenty-one champion
ships and has succeeded fourteen times

His specialties are any distances between
SO yards and $40. His list of triumphs is
too long to be recounted in brief sketch,
but he can do 100 yards in 10 seconds and
now holds the following worlds records:
Eighty yards, seconds; $50 yards, Is sec
Onds; $50 yards, IS seconds, and 440 yards,
az seconds He has also covered 300
yards in so 2-5 seconds, which is only 2-5
of a second below Harry Hutchens world S
record.
Baker is Of good weight for a Splinter
and strips at 40 pounds. He is rather
tall, too, for his line of work and only
lacks a small fraction of an inch of being
feet in height. Baker intends to have a
shy at the 300 yards record before he leaves

| finished and in process of completion, To-
| gether with the curious paraphernalia with
| which the miniature worlds are construct
ed. The aged proprietor happened to be in
| communicative mood, and he took one OF
the spheres, then thin layer of white pa

and completed it while / watched tie
work
The first condition of the globe is that OF
a white paper paste, formed by a mixture
of pulp and glue This is heated until q
desired consistency is obtained, and then
by means of a curious looking instrument
"a cross between spoon and shovel-the
paste is carefully applied to an iron globe
OF the size sphere is desired.
This globe is heated by means of steam
pipe, which enters it through a small aper-
ture near the bottom. The heat soon hard
ems the paste and then a sharp knife is
passed around the imaginary equator and
the two hemispheres are separated and re-
moved. These two halves are united at
the edges with glue, and then the hollow
sphere is treated to a coating of white
enamel about one-eighth OF an inch thick.
'The next thing" said the German, sis
to turn the sphere into a perfect round
ness" and he placed it in distorted lathe,
which accomplished the work in half a
minute.
Two holes at either pole were bore
through the half completed world and an
iron rod which projected about an inch be-
yond the surface was inserted and fastened
in place. This formed the axis Of the
earth.
The world was then ready to receive the
highly colored representations of the CONT
nents and oceans. The latter are printed
from copper plates in this particular estab-
lishment by a daughter of the proprietor
on thin linen paper. Numerous sizes are
made.
When cut out they resemble the dress pat
terms of fashionable tailoress more than
anything else. They usually fit better than
the fashionable tailoress' work, however,
and without difficulty are pasted on the
globe.

While speaking he passed the sphere to
another girl who covered the various por-
tiOns of it with transparent blue, red and
yellow water colors. When that had been
done it was placed in an oven to dry and
then covered with a last coating of bril-
liant varnish of metallic hardness, which
would wear for age without scratching or
losing its brightness.

Eow One Regimental Pet Was Secured.

Row One RegimentaI Pet Was Secured.
The Ninety-ffth Derbyshire NOW the
Second Battalion Derbyshire regiment,
possessed at one time a highly priced
pet. 1t was on the 30th Of March, 1858,
that Major and Brevet Lieutenant Col
onel Raines of the Ninety-ffth foot, led
the third assaulting column at the capture
Of Kotah, and important fortified city Of
Rajpootana The assault had proved
successful; Kotah was taken, and the
Ninety-ffth, under Colonel Raines, was
engaged in clearing the streets, when a
private Of the Grenadier company no
ticed a fine black ram tethered in a
garden.
1t was q magnificent animal, with
enormous curved horns-one, in fact, of
the famous breed of Rajpootana fight
ing ram" Colonel Raines' attention be-
ing drawn to this ram, it struck him
how very well it would look marching
at the head of the Ninety-fifth; so, as
there was no actual fighting going on at
that moment, he ordered the Grenadier
to take possession of the animal
The order was readily obeyed, and
thus the Ninety-fifth acquired this hand
some representation of their county
badge (the Derby Ram''), for the ram
proved a willing prisoner, showing not
the slightest disposition to resent his

highly approved of their prize. The
ram was forthwith dubbed Derby l."

flow Tin Plates Are Made.

The following particulars of the More
wood process of thinning plates, now in
use in the United States, may be Of in
terest. The plates are rolled in the or
binary manner into black sheets, eight
of these sheets being rolled at one time,
and after being sheared to size are put
in the black pickle bath Of sulphuric
acid, where all oxidation is removed.
They are then placed in an annealing
furnace for thirty-six hours, after which
they are passed through the cold rolls,
receiving a smoothly polished surface.
They are annealed again and put into
the white pickle, where they are thor
oughly cleansed from any oxidation.
They are then ready for the Timing
process,
The mode of putting on the coating Of
tin is very simple. The plates are first
submerged in bath of palm oil until all
the water disappears, the oil forming a
fux for the tin, the first coat of which is
received in the tin pot; the plates are
next dipped in the ''wash pot, and when
taken out the tin is spread over the sur
face with brush by hand. The final
act in the tin coating process consists in
passing the plates through rolls running
in palm oil, whereby the tin is evenly
distributed and smooth surface OBJ
tanned.
There are FIVE of these rolls used, three
running on top of two, and the plates
make two passes through them, in the
first place being let down through the
first and second of the upper set, and by
a cradle arrangement being returned
through the second and third. This com.
pletes the timing operation proper, and
the polish is obtained by rapid move
ments Of the plates through bran and
middlings, respectively, and then polish
ing with sheepskin. The result obtained
is a very excellent article Of bright tin

ing over the people in the big restau-
rants, that the diners lounged in their
chairs almost without exception. The
man who sat erect in a sensible fashion
was a great rarity. All along Broad
way loungers in hotels are sprawled
over their seats in similar way, and
nothing is more common than to see a
man slide down in his seat in the thea
ter until his knees are wedged against
the chair in front of him and his neck
rests upon the back of his own chair.
In railroad trains there is similar ex-
hibition of lackadaisical. sprawling,
lounging and half recumbent men. l
have notion that all of this is due to a
certain extent to ignorance.
Men who have long journeys to go
through should try the effect of sitting
upright in the corner of a seat one day
and sprawl all over the seat the next.
They will find that the percentage Of
fatigue is UNNECESSARILY smaller when
sitting squarely in the seat than when
trying to cover it in a recumbent posi-
ton. SO it is in the street car, the cab
and the elevated trains. The principal
advantage of the erect posture is that
when person sits in this way, without
leaning against the back Of the seat, the
jar of the car is so distributed that it
never reaches the head. There is much
more comfort to be had in sitting erect
than in lounging. - Blakeley Hall in

What Vertigo Comes From.

One of the principal causes Of the
more serious forms of vertigo, or dizzi-
ness, is a diseased condition Of the in
most portion Of the ear, the labyrinth.
Vertigo of greater or less severity may
result from whatever disturbs the blood
pressure, either within the labyrinth OK
in the middle ear. Similar effects are
also produced by false impressions re-
ceived through the eye, or through the
sense of touch, and by disease of the
spinal cord
Since the great nerve which goes 20
the stomach is az its cerebral center init
mately associated with the auditory
nerve, disturbance Of the stomach may
cause the vertigo, and on the other hand,
q disturbance Of the auditory nerve may
occasion nausea or vomiting. Vertigo
is sometimes brought on by paralysis Of
q single muscle of ths eye, or even by
the temporary weakness of sn overta1ed
ocular muscle.
The form OF vertigo now known as
"Meniere's disease" is that form which

Hours for Submarine Telegraphy.

It is often assumed by those who have
not had practical experience in submarine
telegraphy that the whole twenty-four
hours are available for transmitting mes
sages, and this is sometimes in prospec-
fuses made the basis for revenue estimates;
but, as a matter of fact, the telegraphic
working day between England and Amer
lea, for instance, is only about fifteen hours.
Between Great Britain and Egypt practi-
cally the whole of the traffic must be
carried on between the hours of nine and
five. In the case, however, of telegraphic
correspondence between countries, the diff
ference of time between which is greater,
the traffic is even more evenly spread over
the twenty-four hours, but even in this
case the telegraphic working day is only
about eighteen hours
Australian time being ten hours and In
dian five in advance of English time, mes
sages are, as rule, sent one day and the
replies received the next. The Transmits
ting capacity of long cables is, however,
strictly limited, and the existing sections
to Australia being already duplexed, any
very considerable increase in the number
of messages would necessitate more cables.

Twelve miles north of Norwich, Conn.

They were at Louvain. When it ap-
peared that the best accommodations
that could be given them was one room
with two beds Arago seemed much dis
turbed. When they went to the room
he paced the floor impatiently, while the
Belgian astronomer watched him in as

cafes chantants concert halls) named
Paulus, and strangely enough ne is still
popular. His songs are witty and he has a
good voice Both THE Boulanger March"
and "Pere la Victoire" were sung first by
him. He is about thirty years old and the
son of an innkeeper No one butt himself
knows how he came to be a singer. His
songs are without that gross indelcacy
that pervades most French concert hall
favorites, and they are sung everywhere
and by everybody. He will visit AmeriGa
before long, he says, but as he cannot sing
in English it hardly seems likely that he
will prove very interesting to Yankees.
