COLUMBUS ASHES,

A Mrs. Sargent of New York claims
to have in her possession portion of the
remains of Columbus; and, SAYS the
New York Herald, 1.-THE claim Is con-
. trned rather than weakened by in
vesiigation." 1t has been almost con
clusively proved that the ashes of the
disCoverer lie in a caSket in the Cathedral
OF Sauio Domingo city. The body was
removed from Spain to the island thirty
four years after the death OF Columbus
and the coffin WIS deposited in a vault:
in the Cathedral. Ia August, 1871, in
the course OF making repairs in the
Cathedral, Il vault was uncovered and
found to contain the ieaden coffin of
LUIS Columbus. \ further search was
made aud TWO more vaults. with a thin
portion between them. were discovered.
One contained Il small ie,:ten box which

THEORIES OF RAIN PRODUCTION.

From the New York Herald.
An interesting discussion in the New
England Meteorological society, touch
ing somewhat the practicability of pro-
ducing rain by explosions, has recently
been reported. The question, in one
form OF another, is an old one. But
neither time nor discussion seems to have
settled il. Still, the controversy may be
useful if it leads to clearer views of how
important rainfalls are generally pro-
duced in natures laboratory. The con-
illusions to which, it would appear, the
New England "weatherologisto" is that
of ESpy. that the chief cause OF rainfall
Is the cooling of vapor in the air due to
an ascensional movement Mr.. r. II.
Scott, secretary of the Royal MeterOlog-
zeal Society of England, also, III recent
address, advances this view, urging that
the most effective mode of lowering the
temperature of the air and restoring the
suspended moisture to the earth again in
the form of rain Is TO cause the air to
rise above the earth. And this may be
regarded as the prevailing view among
scientists.
But it is questionable whether this
explanation is afer all the full and the
final one. 1t is quite possible to see how
heavy precipitation may result from the
cold of expansion due to the rapid in
draught of moist air in entirely horizon
tai lines from regions of high pressure
into areas of low barometer. For in that
case, by expansion solely, the vapor-
laden air undergoos rapid chilling and
It's vapor may be profu9ely condensed.
If the degree of rarefdction taking place
in the higher part of IL cyclone could be
at all ascertained, it might be found suf-
fiCienIly great TO account for an eXnan
sion OF the vapor masses reaching 1t
quite adequate to produce toErentlal
rains, without any recourse to the theory
of ascending currents. The Oft observed
direct relation between the amount of a
cyclones rainfall and the fall of the
barometer at the base Of the cyclone is a
strong presumption that the rarefactIon
Of air IN the invisible upper portion Of
the storm center may be a powerful
factor in causing condensation.

Some one has construed the appoint
ment of General John w. Foster as MIR.
Blaine's successor to the state portfolio
as as added insult to the ex-secretarv
Such an intimation is an insult to Mr.
Harrison's high sense of honor and re-
gard for the best interests of the country
and its public service. General Foster
was in position, both as to his demon
stratcd ability for the efficient discharge
Of the important and delicate duties of

PROTECTION IN RECIPROCITY.

Reciprocity goes with protection.
Retaliation is free trade idea. Lord
Salisbury, in thatspeech of his admitting
the failure of free trade which so worried
the free traders of England and their
allies in this country, suggested retalia-
ton as the only recourse left, since Great
Britain had stripped herself of all power
to offer reciprocity. Lord Salisbury re-
GREETED that his country could not make
reciprocal trade arrangements, but it
makes our free traders furious to think
about reciprocity. Reciprocity to them
IS like red rag to an angry bull. They
cannot argue against it, and SO they de-
Hberately miorepresent it. The reel
procity policy surrenders no whit OF pro-
lection and for that reason we cannot
have reciprocity with Canada. Reel
procity does not admit free into our
ports any article with which we can
supply ourselves from our home produc
ton. Canada has nothing 10 send Us
which we cannot supply ourselves.

CALIFORNIA; QUEER CAVERN.
L W onder OF the Pacific Coast Which las
Never Eeen Eznlored.

On the north side Of Table mountain
and near its top is an opening in the
lava that has since It's early days been
known as the lions den" 1t was so
named from the fact that for years it
was the lair OF band of fer0cieus Cal
ifornia lions that. when the country
was largely devoted to sheep raising,
made mighty depredations upon the
focl<s and caused the owners much an
noyance and loss. When pursued the
animals would seek refuge in this den
and no hunter would dare to enter it.
The ground about the entrance was
covered with the bones and remnants
OF sheep and other animals. With the
increase % population the lions have
gradually disappeared, although as late

CAUSE OF BLIGHT AND REMEDY.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
As to the cause of blight upon apple,
pear and crab trees hold that Professor
F. II. Snow is mistaken as to cause and
also preventative. The prime cause is
the condition of soil and atmosphere, and
the condition OF soil is sometimes increas-
ed by cultivation. There is no positive
cure. Then, shall we plant? Yes. Do
farmers quit sowing wheat, oats or rye
because of a rust blight? No. Prepare
your ground first. Plant nothing but
whole root graft tree. Apple orchards.
Cultivate five OF six years and do 80 per
cent. of pruning in or during that time.
Head low with short body; crop off ends
of most prominent limbs during such
springs as last ana this.
Pears-Cultivate three or four years;
sow to blue grass, cut the grass twice a
year and let 1t lie on the ground. Sur
face manure in the winter; otherwise
treat as above Those who take the
above counsel viii reap from fair TO an
abundant crop with but little blight, and
when blight does come after the sap
stops flowing then cut off the dead parts.
TO the interest of every honest effort
for general good. Respectfully.
MARTIN S. HASTY.

The Democratic press of New York
City tried to raise howl to prejudice
the organized-labor element of the
country against Whitelaw Reid because
of his alleged opposition to union labor
organizations. But this screech was
only meant as a stop, thief" trick.
The New York Advertiser, which is
Democratic paper, but more or less in
dependent. declares that not one of the
prominent Cleveland papers in New
York City has union office, and that
the men who forced the nomination of
Cleveland are the recognized enemies Of
organized labor. And not only so. but
the Democratic nominee for vice preSi-
dent IS at the head Of big corporation
in Illinois that is notorious for Its unfair
and oppressive treatment of its en-
ployes, with whom the concern is nearly
always at war over wages or hours OF
work

Newton kausan: There is no higher
Democratic authority than the Louis
vile Courier-J ournai, and in its issue of
June IA, it says: The history of an or
ganization is the best index to its future
course This is eminently correct doc
trine and it is for that very reason that
the Republican national committee Is
circulating documents which recite the
history Of the Democratic party with
great fullness and accuracy. When, for
instance, it is shown that TIE Democratic
party has never adopted tariff for rev.
enue only and maintained it for ten
years without lowering wages one-half
and depriving tens of thousands of their
means Of livelihood, every thinking
man ought to be able TO do something in
the way of Judging the future Of the
party by the past.

Judge Gresham declared with appar-

could not subscribe to the subtreasury
scheme of the Populists, and therefore
his name would not be presented to the
Omaha convention for the nomination of

more that proposition in its platform, as
the party has already done practically,
and should base its money demand in the
form of a free silver coinage resolution,
might not the Chicago jurist be induced

The Democrats declared that this
should be a campaign of education, and
forthwith set up an appeal to the pre-
JUDGES of large section of their party,
basing the appeal upon the superstition
the result of ignorance-of the party

country. This change of front indicates
at once that the Democratic leaders
realize they have got no case on the
