Biography can do. Instantaneous pho
Biography seems to have attained per.
lection, for, according to the London
News, it is now possible to fix the
image of a cannon-bal flying through
the air. Even microbes are now being
photographed. A young French chem
list, NJ. Henri Courtonne, is credited
with a new discovery, for which we
have been looking to Mr. Edison.
Sound being transmissible by tele-
phone. NJ. Coutonne argued by a rig
orous analogy, that light might be tran
Smitted too. AS the telephone consists
of transmitter, wire and a receiver,
so there was no reason to believe that
these three organs might be adapted
for transmitting light vibrations, and
for this purpose the transmitter and
receiver should be prepared chemi-
cally for receiving and giving out light
instead of sound vibrations. This was
done by substituting sensitized photo
graphic plates for the ordinary tele-
phone plate. One of the plates was
placed infront Of an aperture through
which an image was cast, and this inn
age has been forwarded by wire and
has been seen at the other end The
first apparatus was very imperfect, and
NJ. Courtonne, having heard that MI.
Edison was on the track of similar
discovery, resolved to publish his ex-
periments, a description of which he,
however, sent in a sealed letter to the
academy in 1889. This letter is only
to be opened at the sender's request.
The Figaro says that the consequences
Of the telephotography can not be over
estimated. Tomorrow it says, you
will see in Paris the image of a man
smoking in St Petersburg.

4t,coys q super 1btsmddnce.
Congressman Turner of Georgia, is
young enough in years to be q represen-
tatve Of the new south, but like all
other democratic members from his
section he holds to the doctrine of the
cid cheap slave labor south on the
tariff question, and repeats word for
word the arguments of the old labor
owning, free-trade statesmen, and
asserts that the planters are robbed
by the tariff on the ties and bagging
n which they bind their cotton bales
AS a matter of fact the planters buy
their cotton ties as metal and sell them
at full weight on the bales as though
they were so much cotton, and this
realize a handsome profit on the trans
action At the rate of 2 Is cents a
pound the American Economist calcll-
lates that the total amount Of ties re-
CURED to bale the southern cotton CROP
would cost under the Mckinley tariff
$550,00O But these ties which the
planters buy at the rate of 2 Is cents
a pound are sold with the bales of cot
ton which they bind and as though
they were part and parcel of the same.
at the average rate of Z cents a pound
the planter thus getting $1,750,OO0
for the ties which cost them S55O,OO0,
realizing a profit of $1,200,00O, or u
gain of over three hundred per cent
on the investment.

Of gOrging themselves with excessive

in the chivalrOus cotton planter, who
claims that bis unsOrdid soul is far

he not only demands more, but in
Sists that he shall obtain it through the

Evidently Mr.. Turner knows what he
and his constituents want. They de
sire free foreign machinery and mater
ials, so that they can put their con-
victs into immediate competition with
free white workingmen in northern fac
tories and cheaper their output to the
penitentiary level. Then they will
make a greater profit than the present
one of 800 per cent. on their cotton ties
or tagging, and it is possible that they
will cease to wall over their poverty
and the hardship of paying decent
prices that white Worlingmen may
receive decent wages. But there is
DO certainty that even then their CRED
for gain at the expense of northern
labor would be satisfied.

GLAssWORKERs, STRIKE.
Employees of Pittsburg Factories of the
limited States Glass Company Quit Work

Employees OF Pittsburg Factories of the
United States Glass Company Quit Work.
All the glassworkers employed in the
Pittsburg factories, controlled by the
United States Glass Company, about
600 in number, are out on a strike. The
trouble is due to an order issued by
General Manager Joseph Anderson,
which the members of the A. f. G.. w.
q. allege is an infraction Of their agree
ment. The glassworkers in the different
shops have heretofore had certain
number Of pieces to make, constituting

stances the work can be done in less
than four hours. Manager A nderson
now instructs the managers to see that
the men work 4 y hours on each turn. "
The men held a meeting and protested
against the new rule. As it was not
withdrawn they decided to go out on a
strike.
1t was rumored here yesterday that
the order was a general one, and the

The Grippe Responsible for More Deaths
After Recovery ThsE During Its Course
How to Avoid the Danger.
Grippe, in itself, is bad enough. facilitating
enough. but It is the after effects, the slowness
OF recovery that give it its great danger. In
most cases, the person did not have suficien
vitality to rally after the disease itself had
passed. The forces Of nature were too weak TO
contend with the debility which the Grippe had
left
1t is sad to think how many people have dice
who might have been saved IL nature had been
properly assisted and fortified after the Grippe
had been driven from the system. Many ply
scians realized this fact, and assisted their
patients over the dangerous after effects by
bracing up and slim lsting their systems. This
was, and can be done in but one way, and that
is by the steady and moderate use Of some pure
yet powerful stimulant. There is but one abb
solutely pure and medicinal stimulant known
to the profession and TO the public, and that is
Dufy's Pure Malt Whisky. The most promi-
nent scientists and physicians OF the land en-
dorse its purity and value. 1t is not new
whiskey, it has been before the public for
years. II is not a cheap decoction. but pure
distillation. II imparts q tone 10 the system
DO. sible in no other manner and sends the
blood coursing through the veins with renewed
vlRor. II Is superior in every respect and how
ever much any INSCRIPTIONS druggist or grocer
may seek to lead you 10 believe TO the contrary
do not be deceived. CD
