TrleE Of the Eve.

BY cutting three strips Of white pa
per of the same length exactly, with
one Of them half as wide as the 9th
ers. one Of the neatest tricks Of optical
illusion can he produced If those Of
the same width are laid crosswise,
the narrow sti1pplaced in the center,
IL will invariably seem as if the broad
strips were considerably shorter than
the narrow one. The illusion is en-.
HANGED by laying the pieces of paper
on a black surface. BY placing the
three strips in the form Of an invert-
ed IN" and using the narrow strip
for the diagonal line the latter in
turn will appear much shorter than
the other two. To an Impractical

TYpewriting by Wire.

The telotype, or electrical typewriter,
has been designed to meet the require
ments of rapid and reliable printing
telegraph instrument, which has long
been needed. This instrument is ma
nipulated very much in the same way as
typewriter. The transmitter as well
as the receiver makes copy of the mes
sage, and the liability of mistakes is
thus largely decreased. The instruments
work In unison, and it is impossible to
send a message from one machine unless
the corresponding machine at the end Of
the distant line is properly receiving.
The record is plainly printed on the strip
of moving paper in front of the operator.
The same instrument can send and re-
ceive. New York Telegram.

Atlanta, Ga, July 3.-A good deal Of
speculation has been indulged in here to-
day as to the probable outcome Of the

the latter was in Savannah last week, as
published in these dispatches at the
time, DIR. Westmoreland gave q card to
the press In which he referred to Attor-

sulting. Mr. ROuntree's friends then
could not see how he would avoid demand
ing personal satisfaction of DIR. West
moreland, and his return to Atlanta was
awaited with good deal of interest. On
his return, however, Mr.. Rountree did not
adopt this course, but prepared a statement
detailing certain loans of money which he
had made to DR. Westmoreland when
they were friendly and which ultimately
caused them to fall out. OF course the
publication of this fact was more or less
humiltting TO DR.. Westmoreland, though
Mr. Rountree has not resented, even re-
Westmoreland. This is the cause of the
interest manifested in the case to-day.
Some ridicule the young lawyer, who has
recently gained so much notoriety both IN
the Central railroad case and the Red
wine defalcation, while by others
he is commanded for having
made dignifed statement OF facts to ex-
pose DR.. Westmoreland's course, without
noticing the latter's cutting language, or
adopting a similar method OF reply.
Further developments arc anticipated,
though both DIR. Westmoreland and Mr..
Rountree declare to the public that they
are through with the affair Added to
this phase of the case, the Herald in
creases interest this afternoon by editori-
ally demanding an investigation Of the
charges brought against Judge Speer and
Attorney Rountree. DR.. Westmore-
land is q man of good standing, and
1t is claimed that his sworn charges
should merit a thorough investigation,

selves, should demand

of the continued stringency in the money

city are out of work. A majority of the
manufacturers have large amount of
manufactured product on hand, but the
demand has fallen off in every class Of
business within the last month and col
lections are so slow that many factories
will close down, while others will con-
tinue, but with reduced forces. Nearly
every factory in the city is discharging

that they are collecting barely enough

Washington, July 3.-Secretary 3. Morton
has exonerated Prof. Mark w. Harring-
ton from the charges preferred against
him in his administration of the weather
bureau, and his retired officers who pre-
ferred the charges. Notwithstanding the
fact that he had eXonerated the chief of
the bureau, Secretary Morton has caused
a number of changes in the personnel of

fessors, Prof. Carl Barns and Prof Thos.
RUSSELL who have been connected with
the work for a considerable time,
have been relieved. Both changes were
made with a view 10 retpenchment and
do not imply any reflections upon the men
themselves. The places of the two dis
charged men will not be filled Prof.

offered the position held by Prof.
Barns at -, 600, thus effecting q saving of

not perform the duties as forecaster as
Prof. Barns did, but viii continue

understood that the expenses of the bu-
reau of animal industry must be cut
down this year 25 per cent. 1t is also
