association, the following significant
statement:

knew one place in Leeds where thous-
ands OF pounds worth of machinery was
not allowed 10 be worked owing TO the
trade unonists declining to work it at q

1874 they had been importing mems
strong boots suitable Tor workingmen,
and selling them at A.. ID. a pair or Sd

30 years behind The United States in

THE POWER OF WATER.
Stream Rapid That 1t Cannot Be Cut by
an AK.


From the American Stockman.
After an elaborate series Of compu tations
Prof. Samuel B. Christy Of the University of
California. an eminent authority on mining
and metallurgy. reports that if nozzle Of from
SIX to nine inches in diameter were especially
arranged TO throw q stream vertically upward
against spherical boulder of quartz weighing
1000 pounds, the. vertical head being anywhere
from 100 to $50 feet. the boulder would be
forced up until the diminished velocity of the
stream established an equilibrium of pressures
There would be point at which the upward
pressure OF the stream would exactly balance
the gravity pressure of the boulder. holding it,
the half-ton rock, there suspended.
As to cutting these streams Prof. Christy
says that he has often tried to drive a crowbar
into one of them The stream felt az solid as a
bar Of iron, and although he could feel the
point OF the crowbar enter the water for per-
haps half an inch. the bar was thrown forward
with such force tlat it almost impossible
to retain It III the grasp. An Ak swung by the
most powerful man alive could not penetrate
the stream. yet it might be cut by the finger OF
child, If the child were seated on a rail-
way train moving parallel with the stream in
the same direction and with tho same velocity.
That velocity would be considerably more than
q mile minute.
Justice Bradley of the Supreme Court has
also tried his intellect upon the mathematics of
the problem submitted by Judge Field. He
delivers this opinion: Il can well believe all
You say with regard to the tremendous force Of
streams issuing from the pipes of the miners
under a large head of water. OF course they
would produce instant death if directed against
man standing near. and would probably cut
his body in two"
The statements here presented in summary
will not astonish engineering experts. The
average citizen. however, is accustomed to re-
gard water as the least destructive liquid that
can be put In motion.

Cabinet Minister'S Latchkeys.

From the Man chester Examiner.
Each member OF the cabinet is provided
with private key that admits him to the
official residence of the first lord Of the
treasury. These keys are surrendered with the
portfolios upon their holders going out of Of
fee and they pass into the hands of the incom-
ing cabinet The first lord has two keys, one
which admits him by the door in Downing street
and the second which opens the guarded wicket
in the horse guards quadrangle. These were
the keys which were used by Mr.. Balfour and
by Mr. Disraeli, and by one statesman after
another ever since the invention of latchkeys.
They are old friends of Mr.. Gladstone, who
has had them since he FIRST became prime min
lister in 1868, barring intervals which decided
otherwise. And once more they lie snugly
upon a single ring in his trousers pocket. Like
Mr. Balfour, Mr.. Gladstone prefers the garden
gate as the open sesame to his comings and
goings. Another object Of hereditary passage
is the dispatch box. These boxes are small, OBJ
long in shape, and covered with scarlet mo-
rocco leather.
They are used for conveying dispatches be-
tween the permanent head Of the department
and its parliamentary chief. q slip Of blue paper
projecting from one end bearing tho name Of

Rev. DR.. McKim suggested ce rtsin amend
ments. which were adopted. and then advocated
the proposed bylaw. The bylaw
adopted. Rev. DIR. Stewart, the treasurer Of the
special committee appointed to raise the s3, 500
pledged by members of the convocation for
the building of the Anacostia Church
reported that the balance of 500
would be raised. A committee Of four

A New Zealand Tragedy.

Corresponden London Truth.
A man named Piummer was recently working
on his uncies farm near Auckland. He had
been unfsvorably known to the police for some
time, but solely for petty larcenies, more the
work Of a kleptomaniac than Of violent or
dangerous criminal Plummer left the farm,
owing TO some dispute. and subsequently the
manager gave notice to the police Of certain
petty thefts. On the second occasion. a con-
stable and the manager set out in pursuit the
former armed with a revolver. the latter with a
carbine-both loaded.
They traced Plummer some distance through
the scrub, and when they came upon him they
shot him dead. They allege that he shot at
them twice. but no weapons were found in his
possession or near him. One would have thought
that as q matter Of course the shooters would
both have been arrested. Nothing Of the sort
happened. The constable got few of his friends
together. They held an inquest and COM
mended the constable for his bravery and the
body was buried without delay. There was no
post norton and the clothes we're never even
taken of the body, SO that no one could say
how many bullet wounds he had. Even il the
deceased had fred in self defense neither the
constable nor his companion had any warrant
for the arrest Of the man. What right, then,
had they to hunt him down?
on which warrant would have been issued
nothing but suspicion. 1t this 10 law and justice
under the British crown say give me Siberia.

KILOGRAMS TO THE star.
THE FAMOUS EMS DISPATCH.
1t IL the One That Just Preceded the Franco
Prussiau War,

Prussian War.
BERLIN, Nov. 23.-In the reichstag today
Chancellor Won Caprivi read the text of the
famous dispatch sen. by Privy Councillor
Abeken 70 the Prussian foreign Office from Ems
on July IS, 1870, two days prior to the declare
ton of the Franco Prussian war.
This Is the dispatch which Bismarck says he
"doctored" SO as to bring war. 1t reads: THE
king writes me as follows: Benedict (the French
ambassador to Germany intercepted me on
my promenade and finally asked me in
o very pressing manner to authorize
him to telegraph his government at once
that / bound myself for all time never
TO again accord my sanction in the event OF
Prince Leopold OF Hohenzolern reverting to
his candidature to the throne OF Spain. at
length declined, somewhat sternly, to listen to
him further, as one ought not and could not
enter q tout jdmdis into engagements
OF this kind. Naturally told him had as yet
received nothing. As he got news earlier by
way Of Paris and Madrid than did, he must
see that my government was again left out.
"The king has since received letter from
Prince Leopold. The king, in view Of the de-
mand referred to- resolved, upon the advice Of
Count Won Eulenburg and myself, not to see
Benedetti again. but to merely inform him
through his adjutant that the king had received
from Prince Leopold letter confirming the
news Benedict already had from Paris, and the
king had nothing more to say to the ambassa-
dor. The king leaves your excellency to decide
whether Benedetti's new demand and its rejec-
ton should not be Immediately communicated
to the ambassador and the press"

The Bicycle as n Benefactor.

From the Philadelphia Press
The bicycle is proving decided social force
1t has given mankind new pleasure and a new
convenience. 1t has made outdoor exer-
else tempting and inviting to thousands
who are moved by no other device to
spend hours in healthful and exhilarating exer-
cise in the open air. II has therefore promoted
the health of the race and added sensibly TO the
gayety of nations. All honor, then. TO the
bicycle for the great good i. has wrought
But il promises to do more. For its proper
use and full enjoyment the bicycle requires
good roads. The general demand for i'm
proved roads, which is heard in ali parts of the
Union and has made itself felt in state legisla-
lures and in Congress, comes from intelligent
people generally who are sensible of the pri-
vations. annoyances and loss which go with
bad roads. But the conviction that bad roads
are a grievous nuisance and heavy expense was
comparatively inarticulate until the great army
Of wheelmen began to give it expression and
fill the land with doleful pictures of the Ameri-
can highways.
These pictures tell because they are true.
They convict the country of crude barbarism
in respect to one of the essential elements of
civilization. As a result there has sprung up
In nearly every state spontaneous movement
to obtain better roads. All classes of citizens
are interested in it, but the wheelmen con-
tribute q large share of the energy, persist
ency and organizing faculty necessary TO the
success of any large movement. Road i'm
provement is gaining under the impetus A
magazine has been started to propagate the
faith and instruct the people in the necessity of
road improvement and the way to achieve it,
Legislation is sought in Congress and in the
states to foster and promote road improve
ment. Back of all this glides the wheelman on
his bicycle. the worst enemy of bad roads and
the best patron of good ones. his voice, en-
ergies and influence always ready to promote
the sacred cause Of highway Improvement
national organization has been formed in
Chicago whose aim is the improvement Of roads
throughout the United States. Farmers and
philanthropists. merchants and horsemen, are
well represented in the organization, but the
League Of American Wheelmen, also repre-
sented IN II, will. we predict be its controlling
force. Bicycling is yet in its infancy compared
with what it will be when good Telford roads
are as common as railways and connect every
county seat in each state and every consider
able city with its neighbors. This reform is in
the air. The demand for il grows. The reasons
for 1t are conclusive and it will come for the
common benefit. 1t is to the bicycle and its
needs that We owe the great impulse which the
movement just now possesses. and it's accom-
plishment will entitle the bicycle to be classed
as one Of the great benefsctors of the American
people.
