EDITORIAL NOTES.

The outcome of Dana,s attack up
on Alger has simply resulted in en-
abling the General to place before
the public his military record, which
is without a stain. In fact Mr.. Dana
did Alger favor in his attempted
vlndictiveness, for the documentary
evidence proves that General Custer
was profuse in his praises of the
bravery and gallantry of Alger, but
turned his enemy when the latter
refused to promote Clusters brother
over the heads of older and more
able officers. Instead of hitting the
mark at which he aimed, Dana's
arrow struck the reputation OF the
dead General. A soldier does not
ike to mention his military fsats,
but in these days of forgetfulness, it
must be slightly gratifying to General
Alger to bring again before the
American people record of which
he may justly be proud.

CLEAR THE DECKS.

But a few days remain in which to
canvass for the citizens ticket. Let ev-
cry good citizen see to it that his neigh
Dor is registered, and posted as to the
issue before the people. 1t is fight be-
tween the people and the office holders.
The people can only see the ballot box;
|they cannot see the trickery that
will surround it and the means
that will be employed to de-
feat the honest and legal voters
when they come to vote. But if the
people will strike straight and fast they
will beat down the ring in spite of all its
trickery and corruption. Clear the decks
for action; it will pay every taxpayer
and good citizen to pull off his coat and
go to work in earnest to defeat the office
holders trust.

One of the most wonderful discoveries ia
science that has been made within the last
year or two is the fact that beam Of light
produces sound. A beam of sunlight is
thrown through a lens on a glass vessel
that contains lampblack, colored silk or
worsted, or other substances. A disk hav-
ing Sits or openings cut in it is made to
revolve swiftly in this beam OF light, so as
to cut il up, thus making alternate flashes
of light and shadow.
On putting the ear to the glass vessel
strange sounds are heard so long as the
flashing beam is falling on the vessel.
Recently more wonderful discovery has
been made. A beam of sunlight is caused
to pass through prism so as TO produce
what is called the solar spectrum or rain
bow. The disk is turned, and the colored
light of the rainbow is made to break
through il.
Now place the ear to the vessel contain
ing the silk, wool or other material. As
the colored lights of the spectrum fall upon
it sounds will be given by different parts
Of the spectrum, and there will be silence
in other parts
For instance, If the vessel contains red
worsted and the green light flashes upon
it loud sounds will be given. Only feeble
sounds will be heard il the red and blue
parts of the rainbow fall upon the vessel,
and other colors make no sound at all.
Green silk gives sounds best in a red light.
Every kind Of material gives more or
less sound in different colors and utters no
sound in others -Pearson's Weekly.

The Old Mesmerist in "a New Role.

A Russian hypnOtist and mind reader
gave an entertaining seance at Metropolitan
temple last night. At his request twelve
gentlemen took seats on the stage, and to
each of them the doctor gave a small crys-
tai prism set in the center of dark stone.
He requested them to hold the crystals in
their right hand about eighteen inches
from the eyes and to gaze fxedly at them.
Mesmeric passes were made over their
faces, and after the lapse Of few minutes
three of the gazers had fallen asleep. The
others were dismissed.
With these three subjects the doctor
produced some remarkable phenomena.
He induced them to imagine that they were
on the seashore and to initiate bathers and
victims of terrible shipwreck. Then they
made the audience laugh by beginning to
disrobe for bath, and the manner in
which they swan and floundered on the
carpet was most ludicrous.
Two of the subjects were placed side by
side facing the spectators, while the doctor
calmly threaded a sack needle with Irvine.
Obedient to his command the subjects
opened their mouths and he drew the
needle and thread through the upper lip Of
each, literally sewing them together. The
subjects did not betray the slightest indi-
cation that they suffered the least pain,
and he made them sing while in that con-
dition. Several gentlemen were called
upon the stage to examine the thread in
order to satisfy them that it was no trick.
Then the doctor drew out the thread and
showed that not drop of blood had flowed
from the holes or stained the thread.-San
Francisco Examiner.

His Dog Retrieved the Bomb.

A rather reckless Biddeford man, with
no respect for law or gospel, is said to have
devised a scheme for catching trout by the
wholesale, which did not work as well as
he thought.
He thought that bomb exploded in the
brook would bring all the fish in it to the
surface, so that he would only have to
pick them up. He provided himself with
bomb powerful enough to blast a schooner
out of water and went to local brook in
which there were said to be lots of trout.
He fixed the fuse, ignited it and threw the
bomb into the brook.
As he did so his dog jumped in after it.,
seized il in his mouth, got back to shore
and started after his master, who was leg
cling it across the field as fast as he could
in the realization of his danger The man
had the good luck to get over good bit Of
territory, and a moment later, hearing an
explosion, he looked around to see his dog
going kyward.-Lewiston journal.

Water Clocks of OIden Times.

1t appears that the Assyrians were the
first people to divide the day into portions
Of time, also that they We're the inventors
Of the clepsydra, or water clock, the divi-
sion of time and the invention both belong
ing to period too remote for precise cal
culation. All that we know of the history
of the clepsydra is that the apparatus was
in use at the time of the overflow of the
first Assyrian empire, B. c. 759
This water clock, the first of the time
keepers, was nothing more than a cylin-
drical brass vessel capable of holding sew
eral gallons of water At one side there
was very small hole through which the
water was allowed to trlckle something
after the fashion of the emptying of an
hourglass. From experiments made on
recently discovered clepsydras it is calcu-
lated that one would empty itself about
once every two hours. Under the reign Of
Phul, the royal palace of Ninevah, as well
as each of the principal districts of the
city, possessed water clock of the same
size, shape and capacity. They were filled
at a signal from the Waterman on the
tower, who was stationed there to proclaim
the moment of the rising of the sun
During the day they were in the custody
of officials whose duty it was to fill them
as often as they became empty. Besides
these time masters" there was regular
staff of criers, working under municipal
authority, who, as often as the clocks were
emptied, passed through the principal
streets announcing the fact for the benefit
of the people in general. In this way our
remote ancestors managed to get a rough
computation of the fight of time-St.

varied and entertaining and was as fol-
lows: Song by the lodge. Address of
welcome by Mr. Oviatt This was follow
ed by whistling solo by Mrs H. Mathey,
accompanied by Mr.. VI. Jackson with VIC

song by Miss McMullin and Miss Fannie
Jackson. Then followed a defamation
by Mr. Forbes The orchestra furnished
some nice music, after which Mrs. Meyer
recited. The ninth number on the pro-
gram was select reading by Mrs. Partridge.
Next Was a song by Miss Dana Hubbard
and Mr.. Tomlinson, inwhich Mr. T. joined
in heartily III the chorus. The program
closed with song by the lodge. Then
supper was served after which all those
whose wishes were to trip the light fantas-
tic step retired 10 the ball room where
good music was furnished and every thing
in the way of enjoyment till about l
o'clock when all departed for their homes
feeling well pleased with the evening they
had spent The event was an interesting
one throughout and the Z. A L. lodge
