rhotopr,phlng Flying Bullets.

Much interest has been excited among photographers by Professor Boys ac- count of how he succeeded in photo graphing flying bullets. Hesucceeded i1. securing a photographic picture of a rifle ball passing through the air at the scarce ly conceivable speed of 5000 feet in q seconl. Tho source of illumination was the electric spark, such as that given by the discharge of a Leydeu jar The most remarkable circumstance is that tho camera and lens were for this occasion dispensed with, and the gelatine plate impressed direct with the shadow of the missile as it trayersel the intervening space between the plate and the light eourCe.
 The next thing that had to be con. sidered was the best means of causing the bullet to turn on the electricity for its own portraiture, the motion of fly ing bullet being of too rapid a nature to admit of any other procedure. At first two copper wires were placed in the path of the projectile, the notion being that the bullet itself would make the neces. sary metallic bridge between them. But the wires were shot away before doing what was expected of them Lead wires were then substituted with success. - London Public Opinion,

 A CuteR revolutionary party has bsen formed in the United States, Ja- maica and Mexico. They declare that they want iherty for all the inhabitants of the island Spaninrds and Cubans, negroes and white men. They do not propose to invade Cuba until the inde- pendent movement there takes definite shape and they are asked to aid in the war.
 They do not intend to send sxpedl- tions without complete understanding with the veterans of past revolutions and with she people on the island. They count upon ths sympathy of Spanish America and of the liberty loving inhabitants of this country. They believe that Porto Rico will rise at the same time in rebellion,

There are no telegraph poles in Chi na. Net because there are no tele- graph lines, nor yet because there is not wood suitable for use as poles Strangely enough the reason is purely religious. The Chinese worship their dead fathers and grsndfuthers and re- gard the resting places of their remains as so sacred that they deem it sacri- lsge to allow a shadow to be cast upon their graves. When the linemen of the first Chinese telegraph companies began operations they were greatly em- barrassod in their operations by crowds of inhabitants, who followed them about and, with the most frightful blasphsnies cut down tke poles almost as fast as they were erected. For some time no explanation could he obtained but at last the working parties discov- cred that in the more thickly settled districts of the Celestial Empire graves were everywhere to be found, and scarcely pole could be erected any where but that at some time of the day it cast its shadow on a grave The diff. ficulty was insuperable, and the Chi. nese Government, anxious ns it was to render assistance, stood powsrleSs So all the wires went underground, and it Is said the system proved perfectly efficient.

there they stood silently regarding tho face

All the leading Democratic papers are
speaking out against the proposed extra
session. The present Congress and ad-
ministration end their career on the 4th OF
March next, and the proposition OF the
radical free traders is to call the new Con-
gress together Immediately after that,
whereas in the usual course of events II
will not meet until December of 1898.
The next State Senate will stand 81 Re-
publicans and 10 Democrats; the House l34
Republicans and 81 Democrats; giving the
Republicans majority of 76 on joint bal
lot, which probably insures the reelection
of N. s. Q. to the United States Senate.

one person or party of persons. New YORK

wrongly marked.
The official returns of Ohio elect % Re-
publican electors and Democratic elector.
The Republican Secretary of State has
1000 plurality, and the Republicans have 10
OF the Fl Congressman. This is explained
by change made in their manner of yot-
ing, and which was not unde rstood by
many of the voters. Many voters placed
x at the lett of the name of the first
elector instead of in the circle as provided
for by an amendment made to the election
law last winter
Chairman Leighner and Secretaries
Moore and Okeson deserve great credit for
their widespread instructions on the Baker

improvements, to remain in force.
1t is predicted that Cleveland will select
either Bayard or German for Secretary of
State; Collins or Franklin for the War de-
Partment; Whitney for the Navy; Villas or
