THE STORMY peTReL.
How Mother Carey and Her Chicken
Range the Sea.


How Mother Carey and Her Chickens
Range the Sea.
Mother Carey's chickens are among the
smaller species of the petrol family, all OF
which are distinguished by peculiar tube
like arrangement of the nostrils. Their
feet also are peculiar in being without any
back toe, SO that they can with only great
difficulty risc on the wing from dry land.
Mother Carey's chickens have both ashorter
bill and longer leg than their relatives.
But all the proccilari;D are noted for rang
ing further from land than any othor of the
seabirds. Thus they are often visible from
shipboard when no other animal life can
be sighted, and thus it was, doubtless, that
their appearance suggested safe harbor,
and consequent thanks to Mater Cara, to
the devout seaman.
Why the petrels are associated with
storms is not thus easily explained, seeing
that they are abroad in all weathers, but a
feasible suppostion was advanced by Pen
nant. 1t is chat they gather from the wa
ter sea animals which are most abundant
before or after storm, when the sea is In
n state of unusual commotion, All birds
are highly sensitive TO atmospheric changes,
aud all seabirds seem to show extra activ-
ity in threatening and dirty" weather.
There isanother interesting thing about
Mother Carey's chicken, and that is, that
he is also called petrel. from the Italian
Pctrello, or Little Peter" This is because
he is supposed to be able, like the apostle,
TO walk on the water, as in fact he does,
with the aid of his wings.

The origin of silhouette Portraits.

There seems to be tendency toward sill
houetting again as an amusement among
amateur artists. Black profile portraits Of
celebrities who lived in the second half of
the last century, when this mode of por-
traiture was in vogue, are now eagerly col
lectGd and high prices paid for them. The
name silhouette was derived from Etienne
dc Silhouette, n French minister of finance
in 1853, who introduced several parsmo
NOUS fashions during his administration
called u In silhouette, a name which con-
tinued to be applied to the black profile
portraits. Silhouettes were executed in
various ways. One of the simplest is that
of tracing the outlines of shadow profile
thrown on a sheet of paper, as shown in
our illustration, and then reducing them
to the required size either by the eye or by
means of pantograph. The camera OBJ.
sCura and cameru lucida are also occasion
ally used for the purpose.

Some proflists displayed considerable
talent in cutting silhouettes by hand with
a pair of scissors out of pieces of black
paper, without the assistance of an out
line Although silhouettes have no claim
to the character of works of art, they fire.
quently convey a very good idea Of the
person represented. The appearance OF
silhouettes is greatly improved by adding
the principal markings of the hair and
drapery, which, If judiciously done, has a
very good effect

Lullabics in Spain, Arabia and ZuluIand.
In Spain you will hear little Jose or Isa-
bellita rocked to the somewhat doubtful
sedatiye beginning:
The moon shines bright,
AND the snake darts swift and light;
SEQ five baby bullocks
And calf young and white.
Then from Spain you may find yourself
in Arabia, where bucolic tone pervades
the cradle song mostly used:
Sleep, my baby, sleep,
Sleep slumber hale,
Sweetly rest till morning light.
Ny little farmer boy, 80 bright.
And from Arabia you might pass to far
off Zululand, and hear;

Thy mothers DER the mountains gone;
There she win dig the little garden patch,
And water she'll fetch from the river.

equally successful poems followed, in re-

treated by Murray, his publisher, with the
utmost generosity Never in the whole
history of literature have relations between
author ana publisher been more cordial.
Byron sent for Murray one evening, and,

Gov. Campbell Caught Again.


Governor Campbell has had the mis-.
fortune to carry hot Goals to Newcastle.
In East Liverpool he endeavorcd TO tell
the potters more about their business
than he knew and came to grief accord
ingly. On Monday night he spoke in
Akron, where they know something
about oat meal and that kind of thing.
ssT The governor was Illustrating the in
iquities OF the Mckinley law and told
his hearers that oat meal has advanced
in price since the passage OF that law.
1thappened that President Schumacher,
OF the American Cereal Company, an
out-and-out Prohibitionist, was in the
audience, and, as an honest man, was
obliged 10 tell the governor that oat
meal has declined two dollars barrel
since the passage OF the Mckinley law.
All which shows that free trader
would do well to steer clear OF state
ments purporting to deal with facts
He does much better to stick to assump-
tions, and on these work out his
theories.

Steam DISPLACED ry Electricity

Ii any other than Edison were to saw
it tho world might disbeievc, at least
doubt; but when the man who has
done wonders says he has solved the
problem OF displacing steam by cleo
tricity for railroad purposes, his re-
corded achievements answer all doubts.
His declaration is the more easily re-
ceived at face value because what he
says he can do is what all the world
has believed would be done sooner or
later.
Mr.. Edison promises that by the time
OF the Worlds Fair he will have in
operation between Chicago and Mil
5waukee line OF railroad oil which tho
motive power will BIO electrical. The
trains could easily make 200 miles an
hour, but he knows that 100 miles will
be made with comfort and safety.
There has never been any question
aboutthe speed that can be got out OF
electrical motive power. The question
was to regulate the speed, to slow down
as occasion might require. This problem
had to be solved before electricity could
be applied to street railways. The gen
eral outline OF the Edison plan is to lay
n 1o0-pound rail, ballast the road well,

-ho Same in massachusetts.

Governor Russell, OF Massachusetts, is
another Democratic governor running
for reelection and making wild tariff
statements in the hope OF working his
way through on the prejudices OF voters.
In another column will be found some
statements he has been making in his
speeches and some countcr-statements
made by dealers in the commodities
used by Governor Russell for illustra-
1ion.
He was unfortunate in everything he
touched. For example, be tried his
hand at glassware and crockery, about
both OF which we know something in
Wheeling. He found the advance since
the passage OF the Mckinley law to be
from five to twenty per cent. The fact
is that with the single exception OF tum-
hlers, in great demand for preserving
purposes, there has been no advance
whatever in the domestic product.
The advance in preserve tumblers is
one cent dozen, due solely to the de-
mand. The tariff was advanced to pro-
tect home manufacturers in their home
market, not to advance the selling price.
Whoever has occasion to buy glass and
crockery ware knows that they have
never been cheaper than they are to-
day. The reason as protectionists un-
derstand the question is the growth OF
the home industry under tho stimula-
ton OF q protective tariff. Free traders
may dissent from this conclusion, but
they cannot overthrow the fact.
A comparison OF the prices current
for any year from the foundation OF the
Government is its sufficient buttress.
How does it come that Democrats nomi
nate for Governor men who either do
not understand the question they dis
cuss or boldly disregard the truth in
the face OF the general cnllghtment OF
the time,

Put the Wires Under Ground,

The telephone company asks Council
to permit it to do just what the people
have been demanding it shall do, and
it has given the INrELLIGENcER pleasure
to emphasize the popular demand.
Every electrical wire should be under
ground, and the day is fast approaching
when no community will permit its
streets to be disigurcd with miles OF
poles and wires.
Besides the Disagreement is the
menace to life in case OF fire. Electrical
companies may insist that there is no
danger, but the danger exists and on
occasion makes itself felt in the death

possible.

The Mcdonald Oil Field.

Tho Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette
says tho Mcdonald field never has
reached GS,0O0 barrels 4 day, and that
its present condition is one OF rapid de.
cline. Good wells nre falling or fast
and the new wells are not very satisiac-
tory. All this is probably much nearer
the. truth than the wild stories that
have been set alloat concerning this
field. X
Another thing may be said with con-
fidencc: therewill be at least three dol
lars put in the Mcdonald field for every
dollar taken out in oil. 1t would be
otherwise ii the iieldwerc in large tracts
so that it could be controlled with some
regard to the economies OF operating,
but cut up into small parcels it cannot
escape the fate OF town-lot oil ventures.
1t is also to be remembered that this
is not day OF dollar oil, and the Stan
dard shows no disposition to permit
the market to reach that desirable point
very soon. The policy OF that monopo-
ly is to keep oil as low as it can without
driving producers into revolt and indie
pendent movements.

Tho Ohio Campaign.

-'tiV lWh LItOHHt.
At present the Democrats are claim
ing majoritics in New York, Massachu-
sets, Ohio, Iowa and any other States
where there are elections. Within
about week they will know whether
they are right in any OF these States.
As to Ohio, the shrewdest OF them nd
mittcd some time ago that the election
OF Major Mckinley was inevitable, but
just now they are giving car again to
the dreams OF rainbow-chascrs. Be-
cause the Democrats in Cincinnati gave
Governor Campbell 4 large meeting,
they lire calculating that the fight OF
factions there will cost him no votes.
Because q small country newspaper has
been induced to come out Tor Campbell,
they indulge the hope that it represents
all the farmers, or all the workingmen
OF these cities and towns who will vote
solidly against Major Mckinley.
1t would not be good sense to assume
that these straws are entirely meaning
less, even though MI information attain
able points to the election of Major Nc
Kinley rs certain. The Democrats have
been ut work with desperation, and with
great sums OF money. and it would not
be Z marvel il they had accomplished
something. The sensible thing Tor Re-
publicans TO do, when they hear Demo-
crat boasts, is to redoublc their own ex-
ertions for the remaining days OF the
campaign, and take care that the full
Republican vote is polled. They need
not fret themselves about Democratic
dreams if they make sure OF casting
their own full vote. A worthier leader
they cannot wish, clearer issues upon
which to appeal to the people they have
never had than in this campaign.
Major Mckinley has more than iusti-
fed the confidence OF his friends, and
has won the admiration and the liking
OF thousands OF his foes by the mag
niflcent fight he has made this year.
He has taxed even his great physical
endurance in order to see the people in
every part OF the State, rs far MS possi-
bic. He has exhibited in his discuss
ions not only great fairness and tact,
and the mastery OF the one question
with which his namo is now inseparably
associated, but thorough knowledge Of
other Natioua! questions, and.a precis-
ion and extent oil information and a
soundness OF understanding and intcs-
rity OF purpose about State affairs,
which have gained him strength every
where. Tho service he has thus rem
dered to the Republican cause demands
from every sincere Republican the only
return in his power-his utmost en-
deavors to make the victory sure and

A decision OF interest to Wheeling
has just been rendered in Memphis.
The Eureka Ice Machine and Rcirigcr-
ator Company was organized in Mem.
phis under the Smith patents, rs was
done in Wheeling. Tho appliance
failed to come up to expectation and
suit was brought. From tho mcagre
report sent out it is to be inferred that
the suit was brought to recover tho
money paid for the right to uso tho
patents, tho allegation being that the
machine had been warranted.
Judge Hammond, OF the United
States Circuit Court, instructed tho
jury that Smiths representations con-
corning the capabilities OF the machine
were his opinions and not to be con-
strucd MS warranty, and the jury gave
a verdict Tor the refrigerator men.
The court must havo thought this Just
under the circumstances rs they were
shown. The principle on which the
decision rests seems to be the old ono,
that the buyer must look out for him
self.
There has been talk OF some legal pro.
cecding or account OF the Wheeling
transaction, but unless the circum.
stances can be shown to have been es-
sentially different the persons inter.
ested will hardly feel encouraged by
the result OF the Memphis effort.

out to understand by this time that the
contest on the Democratic side is to get
the seat for John r. Mclean, who has

from the Ohio Democratic caucus. Any
