FIREFLIEs FROM CUBA.
Experimenting with tire Light They Give,
tho Cheapest in tho World.

Experimenting with tire Light They Give,
tho Cheapest in tho World.
Secretary Langley, of the Smithson-
ian institution, has been experimenting
for some time past with firefiies from
Cuba. He says that the light they give
is the cheapest" in the world produced,
that is to say, with the least heat and
the smallest expenditure of energy;
and he believes that successful imita-
ton OF it would prove most profitable
substitute for gas and electricity. The
insects are beetles two inches long and
belong to the family of Swapping
bugs" so called because when one of
them is laid on its back it snaps itself
into the air with a clicking sound.
The secret of the light this FREELY
gives is as yet undiscovered, says the
Washington Star. Apparently it is con-
nected in some way with the mysterious
phenomena of life, and chemists and
physici is have sought in vain to ex-
plain its origin. On each side of the
animals thorax is a luminous MEM
branous spot, and these flash at inter-
walls, so that the Cubans put d dozen of
the insects in cage together, and 30
obtain continuous illumination bright
enough to read by. This light is ac-
companied by no preceptible heat, and
is seemingly produced with almost no
expenditure of energy. How great an
improvement it represents upon all
known artificial lights can be imagined
when it is stated that in candlelight,
lamplight, or gaslight the waste is more
than ninety-nine per cent. In other
-
not to throw anything away, they
would give nearly one hundred times
the illumination which, they do afford.

WOMEN AS DETECTIVES.
They Are Not Well Adapted to This Line
OF Work.

They Are Not Well Adapted to This Line
OF Work.
It is said that women detectives are
not as persevering as men unless they
are actuated by motives of revenge or
jealousy, and in those cases woman
will persevere until she drops dead in
order to accomplish her object. She
will do more for revenge than she will
for love. As a general thing, too, won.
en- engaged in this sort OF work are uns
trustworthy and are led by their pas.
sions, prejudices and sympathies. They
look at case as they want it to be, not
as 1t is. They work on 1t, says the
Chicago Tribune, from intuition and not
from settled plans of reasoning based
on facts. They are good at entrapping
men, but wind up with blunder which
betrays them. There are, too, frequent
temptations that q woman is less liable
to understand than q man. A woman
criminal uses all the articles common
to her sex to play upon the woman de-
tectives feelings, SO as to be permitted
to escape, or a handsome, fascinating
man forger or bigamist would try to
make himself appear o hero, much
maligned and falsely accused. A wom-
an, knowing her practical immunity
from punishment, is more lenient than
a man. II she is cornered she cries,
and o judge or jury will acquit her of
criminal negligence; but man might
cry his eyes out and the law would hold
him responsible for the escape of the
criminal. - . -ss.----------A-------... .--.

The preference Of Silver City for the

strengthen the party in the south and

The endorsement of the administration
of President Harrison was proper and
right and means that the Republicans OF
New Mexico fully appreciate the fact that
in President Harrison the territory OF
New Mexico has a true ana steadfast

these facts. They will prove OF great

A NEW THROUGH LINE.

1t begins to look quite as if the Rio
Grande Western railroad would this sum-
mer reach out across southern Utah and
Nevada for the Pacific coast. This road
has been highly successful under the
Dodge Palmer management. Should it
be built through to the coast, it will prob
ably do go with an understanding that
the Rock Island will tap it somewhere in
Utah and thus provide that line with a
Pacific coast outlet. The Rock Islands
surveys have been run west from Liberal,
Kas.. through Trinidad, northern New
Mexico and Utah. The fact that another
set Of these surveyors has Of late COM
menced work near Creole, and President
Gable is now in California, would seem to
give color to this view OF the case.

The REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE.

great benefit to the Republican party ;
that party being the one that truly and
honestly represents the people Of this
great territory, naturally the committees

Despite the denials sent out from Wall
street that there is nothing in the reported
good progress being made toward an in
ternational conference on silver, 1t seems
in every way probable that such con-
ference will ere long be called. The noise
that silver has stirred up, both in this
country and abroad is itself sufficient to
indicate that positive action is not great
way off and the final settlement of the
question means either free coinage or an
international agreement that will result
in about the same thing. The agitation
has now gone to far too be checked. This
is not scheme Of the American minar
alone, who seeks the widest market for
his product. England and France, no
more than the masses in this country, can
afford to sit supinely by and see silver
continue to be degraded. England is in
terested in silver vitality because Of its
Indian trade. The bank OF France has
over $3.50 900, 900 in silver, Germany over
$50 900, 900 and Austria over $93 ,000,0 900.
The bank OF France has within $780,
900, 900 as much silver as it has OF gold.
The fact, then, that silver is now lower
than for many centuries, manipulated
downward by the single standard gold
advocates, must Of itself prove reaction
ary. Out of self protection the foreign
countries must Join the United States in
fixing the real value upon silver to be
used as money in comparison with and
jointly with gold. We believe that Score
tery Foster was right when he voiced the
sentiments OF this administration in say
ing that the single gold standard was toe
narrow 4 basis for the commerce of the
world. That was II sincere expression
far nearer the point than we lave heard
coming from any member Of the Demo
cratic party on this subject, and we be.
lieve that the present visit Of the secre'
tary Of the treasury abroad will result in
some right cheerful news Tor the western
silver advocates before many weeks.
