The Administrations and tho public
know that the present O. ternment of

ings for him; that he was the active
friend Of its enemy, Balnaceda, and
that he has been harborihg the adj
hereuts Of the overthrown admins

Moreover, it now turns out that Mr..
Blaine has shown his own lack OF con-
idence in E2an by dealing directly
with the Chilian Government through
its representative in Washington.
Egan, too, continues to manifest his
dislike OF the new order Of things.
His refusal to attend President
Months Inauguration without in
Otructious from Mr.. Blaine showed a
host le feeling. Mr.. EHan was still
Minister to Chill. He had not been
recalled and diplomatic relations had
not been broken of. The Inaugural
ton was an official affair, and il Mr..
.Egan had entertained the proper re-
gard for his own country and for that
TO which he was accredited he would
have attended without asking for in
structions. .'s -
Then Mr.. Egan complained OF the
toast to the powers that had mani
tested their friendship by their pres

regarded rs unfriendly to the United

there has never been found n place
where the former inhabitants of these
dwellings have buried their dead. Whtlo

The work was exceedingly laborious,
but they succeeded in tracing the path

fAA Three True Primary Colofs Are Red.

Color blindness is d serious defect

vice. It Is especially so in seafaring
men and in those employed on rail-
roods. Possibly it is less important In

efficiency materially. Nor is it possible

ally agreed that color is due 10 sensn-
. ton. According to Wursch and Young
the normal eye has only three color
p, sensations n red, green, md u violet
and the apparent color of my light
which falls on it depends merely on the
relative intcnsitics of the excitement
produced by the light on the three
organs OF sense corresponding to these
sensations.
In color blindness one or moro of
these organs of sense is wanting or i'm
perfect. The most common form,
Daltonism, depends on the absence
OF the red sense. From the OK
perimcnts of IIolmgren on two persons,
each of whom was found to have one
color-blind eye. the other being nearly
normal, it was found what could other
wise have been only matter. of theory
that those persons could describe the
various colors with one eye, but that
there was n dead uniformity of color
when looking with the other eve.
Thus was obtained description of
color-blind vision in terms of normal
vision.
The old artists considered that there
really were three primary color sensa-
tions-bluc, yellow and red, But
uelmholtz and Maxwell have now con-
clusivcly proved that the three
primaries arc red, green Ind violet.
Certain mixtures of violet and green
can be made to give blue, which ac-
counts for nearly half of the spectrum
from the blue end, when combined, ap-
pearing OF that color; ana rcd and
green will also give ycllow--most
mixtures, however, giving one of IN
orange shade.
1t is commonly imagined That blue
and yellow mixed in certain proportions
produce green. The true source of the
green was pointed out by IIclmholtz.
1t is the one color which is not freely
absorbed either by the yellow or by the
blue pigment. The yellow pigment
removes the greater part of the blue,
indigo and violet rays; the blue pig
mcnt removes the greater part of the
rcd. orange and yellow. Thus the
light which finally escapes is mainly
green.

INSANE FROM JOY.
An Associated Press Account of a Mother
and Daughters Meeting.

A very sad and remarkable case OF
occurred at Ashley, the victim being
Miss Ethel Barney, handsome fifteen
year-old girl. Her parents were divorc-
ed shortly after her birth and she was
taken to the West by her father, where
she has lived until few weeks ago.
Last spring Mrs. Barney, who lives in
Ashley, was married again, and being
in position to support and thoroughly
educate her daughter, she wrote to her
first husband in the West asking him to
give up the child. For months he refus-
ed, but upon the mothers plea that she
was now able to give her daughter the
best advantages of education he con-
sented.
The mother and daughter had not
seen one another for fourteen years, but
despite their separation had born to-
ward each other the fondest recollec-
tions and tenderest love.
The young girl ever since she had
been able to understand the reason she
had no mother to watch over and bring
her up, had looked forward to a time
when she would see her. The mother
too, waited with eagerness the time
when they should be united. Before
starting from the West Miss Barney
wrote to her mother the only letter she
had ever written to her, speaking of the
time when they should meet and saving
she could scarcely wait until that time
should come
Naturally rather weakly girl, the six
days journey across the continent with
the anxiety of seeing the mother proved
upon her mind and body, and she was
far from well physically when she arriv-
ed in Ashley week ago.
The meeting between mother and
daughter was most affecting, each she'd
ding tears of joy, but the happiness was
too much for the young girl and an hour
after the meeting she became violently
hysterical. She recovered shortly, but
only to develop symptoms of violent
insanity.
She grew worse day by day, and after
a consultation of physicians was held, it
was decided to send her to the insane
asylum at Danyille for treatment. She
was taken there just a week from her
meeting with her mother.

He Makes Cyclones.

Professor Douglass has succeeded in
manufacturing miniature cyclones and
tornadoes by means of electricity, thus
proving the electrical character of the
"prairie terrors." In carrying out his
plans he suspended large copper plate
by silken threads and charged it from
battery. He then used arsenious acid
gas, whereupon the combination of gas
and electricity could be seen hanging
from the under side of the plate in the
form of perfect funnel shaped cyclone
cloud. When everything was ready
the professor swung the plate and the
miniature cyclone to and fro across a
table Uttered with matches, pieces of
paper, pens, pencils, etc. The lighter
objects were instantly sucked up, the
heavier scattered in all directions. The
effects were exactly those of destructive
cyclones.
These curious experiments explain cy-
clonic phenomena. Low clouds become
charged with electricity, descend and
form a connection with the earth. Then
violent electrical commotion ensues,
finally settling into whirl which con-
tinues until an electric equilibrium is
established.-St Louis Republic.

Bathing at the Southern Beaches.
Something has been said heretofore in
regard to the inconvenience caused by
sea blubbers to the surf bathers on the
island. This nuisance, instead of abat-
ing, Is on the increase, and if any one
wishes to bathe in the sea water now
with impunity it becomes necessary to
completely swathe himself in clothing
from head to foot for fear of being stung.
The effects of these stings vary ac-
cording to the constitution of the suffer-
er. Usually, in persons of good health
and active circulation, an angry red
blotch appears in the skin proportionate
in size to the animal by which it is in
hicted, rarely exceeding eight or ten
inches in diameter. An intolerable
smarting sensation is produced which re-
mains ordinarily about half an hour,
and it is easy to imagine the condition of
a nervous or sensitive person when stung
in three or four places at once. The
feeling must be nearly akin to that of
being on fire.
In some cases the effects are more seri-
GUS. A young man recently showed the
writer his arm, which was severely
stung. A broad band of what looked like
highly infamed mosquito bites formed
an almost perfect spiral around the fore
arm. He complained that the pain was
at first intense, and that although under
physicians treatment it was rapidly
becoming less, still it was far from
pleasant.
An old sea islander who took surf
bath the other night said that he had
seen sea blubbers before and in consid-
cradle quantities, "but never like this.
At certain seasons of the year." said he,
''it is nothing unusual to get stung.
Here the exception seems to be to get
stung less than five times in half an
hour"
Complaints of sea blubbers come also
from Tybee and other watering places in
the south.-Charlesto News and Cou-
| rier.

Ballots May Not be Ready.

Colonel W. Hayes Grier, superinten-
dent of public printing and binding,
says it is a practical impossibility to
have printed the election ballots under
the new law in time for election. 1t will
require, he says, $4,000 reams of white
and tinted paper in equal quantities,
which will weigh nearly 400 tons.
There are few presses in the state
upon which the ticket can be printed.
Three regular and three specimen bal
lots will be required for each voter. The
official ballot now being printed for the
state department will be 22x52 inches
1t is stated that there is not enough pa
per in the country of the kind required
to supply all the ballots needed,

A Funeral Dirge.

The recent P. 0. S. of A. convention
at Lebanon, adopted a funeral dirge
composed by II. Ed. Burlington, Harris
burg. 1t will be used at all funerals
which may be conducted by the order
and is sung to the air of "Nearer Ny
God to Thee" 1t is as follows:
Farewell! Oh, brother dear.
Thy earthly toll
Now sleeps so silent in
Thy native soil.
Clothed in red, white and blue
Thy deeds, so loyal, true,
We with our tears bedew,
Our tears bedew.
No more in earthly camps
Thy face appears.
Sovereign of liberty
Thy voice now hears.
With patriots of old,
Gods bugle call has told
Thy dwellings, there to hold,
In camps of gold.

liner. They had come to see him start
for Europe. The last they saw of him
that morning Smith was waving his
handkerchief to them from the vessels
side. And all the while he smiled in
the happiest manner imaginable.
When the steamship had passed down
the Narrows and got out near Sandy
Hook a pilotboat came flying up to her
side. The steamship slackened speed,
the pilotboat ran close under the side,
and Smith was lowered to the deck of
the pilotboat, where his friend greeted
him warmly. An hour later and Smith
was ashore at Sandy Hook. From there
he made his way to the Atlantic High
lands, where, at a modest little hotel
he engaged room for month.
1t was a week later that the banker
was one night asked in casual way by
his daughter as to the whereabouts of
Mr.. Smith.
"Why, bless me-" he replied; 81 for
got to tell you, didn't |? Smith has gone
to Europe. | wish he had remained at
home, because l miss him very much"
When Miss Brown had been informed
as to young Smiths whereabouts, she
was displeased. She did not really
think he could go off in that fashion,
with just calm and formal, ,goodby, she
told herself. The more she e'thought of
it the less she liked it. When three
weeks had gone by she was quite sure
she had never meant to say mo" to
Smith when he asked Der to marry him.
"If he'd only come sackw she would
say to herself. II never knew how much
cared for him until he went away"
One evening her father came in and
said:
"Well, Smith will be back tomorrow
and I'm glad of it. The business hasn't
been run so smoothly since he went
away"
From her father Miss Brown learned
that the private secretary was expected
in on one of the French steamships, and
that most of the clerks in the banking
house were going to the dock to meet
him.
The French steamship which came up
past Sandy Hook that morning was
slowed down long enough to take aboard
pilot. And with the pilot came aboard
another gentleman who, the pilot said,
was a friend of his. The other was
Smith, who had only that morning left
the small hotel at which he had been
staying and got aboard the pilotboat.
He was attired in the costume usually
affected by tourists. He had grown
stouter and become bronzed during his
stay at the Highlands.
When Smith had been greeted by his
friends in the Office the senior member
of the firm invited him to dinner. He
marked, and with approval, that Smith
seemed more anxious to talk about bust
ness than the places he had visited in
Europe.
They had reached the house, and
Smith was passing toward the library,
when he suddenly came face to face
with Miss Brown.
"Oh, Gus-Mr. Smith," said she,
startled for the moment into betraying
herself, "Tm so glad that you have
come back-because-because papa has
missed you so much," she added. But
Mr.. Smith did not believe it was alto
gether on her fathers account she was
glad he had returned, and later in the
evening inquired more particularly into
the matter.
A short time afterward the signs on
the banking house were changed. There
after they read, Brown, Blue g. Smith,
