James DiiIman, who Is at the Palace Hotel,
In company with Colonel Z. E. Edwards of Los
Angeles is civil engineer. He had curious
experience while serving as a cadet at the Min
neapolis Naval Academy. He had been at All
napois for seven long years, when one day it
was accidentally discovered that lie was color
blind. Although he had been successful naval
student for seven years this discovery led to his
being obliged 10 leave the service.

ANIMALS CHOKING.
Treatment Recommended in Certa
Cases.

Cases.
Horses and cattle are sometimes choked
by food, such as chaff, BRAN oats, carrots,
turnlps. carrots, potatoes, apples, etc.,
accommodating or sticking fast in some
part of the oesophagus, or canal leading
TO the stomach. 1t is usually caused by
the food not being properly chewed and
soitened by admixture with the saliva,
| or by disease, such as Inflammation.
structure, or dilated pouches III the pas
sage itself
When the obstruction is in the throat
the animal is anxious, coughs, slavers,
breathes quickly, seems to be rechoking,
breaks out in sweats, and frequently
retches without being relieved. Water
administered, or imbibed voluntarily, re-
turns through the nose.
! w When the obstruction is in the neck
/ portion OF the canal, in addition to the
foregoing symptom, swelling will be
] seen on the left side of the neck, and
when lower down, but still i'll that part of

we hnd violent retching after swallowing
fluids, beside most OF the above symp-
| toms, except that the choking is less
| urgent.
In the treatment of choking, if it be
! due to some foreign body i'll the back part
of the animals mouth, or in the throat,
the best plan is to open the mouth, pull
the tongue well out, and introduce the
hand to remove the obstruction, and at the
same time the assistant may render etfi-
cient service by compressing the throat
externally and trying to loosen the OBJ
stacle. When it lies in the food canal,
beyond the reach ofthe hand, the swollen
part at the side should be rubbed up and
down with the flat hand, and such grasp
ing pressure made with the fingers and
hands as will be suggested by the inten-
ton to loosen the object from where it is
fixed, or to break down the mass into
/ smaller pieces. Along with this handling
the animal should drink or be drenched
| with tepid water, sweet oil or thin Cruel.
in the effort to gulp which the obstacle
| may be carried down, or, in the attempt
at retching, be brought up and out at the
mouth.
| When this fails, and even at most, if the
obstacle be large and completely immov-
able, the probang should be introduced at
once. Its use requires some tact and
practice, and a knowledge of anatomy,
and should be done by a qualified veter-
marian, if one is to be procured.

The Time without a Watch.

Actual and repeated experiments have
shown that the nearest hour of the day
or night may be ascertained in the follow
ing very curious way:
Make small running loop in piece
of sewing thread about foot in length,
place shilling in this loop, see that the
coin is accurately bisected by the thread,
and then draw the loop tight up, so that
the shilling is firmly sIung at one end of
the thread. Put on solid table glass
tumbler with fairly wide mouth. Rest
your right elbow on the table in a firm
and easy position so as to avoid any
shakiness in your hand, hold the other
end of the thread between your first
finger and the "ball' of the thumb Ii. e.,
the fleshy top joint of the thumb so that
the thumb nail is undermost, and few
inches above the middle of the mouth of
the glass.
Now, if you keep your hand quite
steady, the movement of the coin (Which
is hanging inside the tumbler) will be-
come less and less, until the shilling is
motionless. Then, in half minute or
so, very slight and regular vibration
will commence, the coin oscillating from
side TO side like pendulum, and grad
ually increasing the length of movement
until it gently strikes the side OF the
glass. This strike goes on in the most
regular and automatic way. first on one
side of the glass and then on the other,
until, say, eight strokes have been struck;
the vibrations of the coin then diminish
IN length, until the suspended shilling
again becomes motionless and hangs in
the middle of the tumbler. You look at
your watch and find that o'clock is the
nearest hour.
1 have tried this over and over again,
deliberately setting about the experiment
without bias or any intention of influenc-
ing the swing of the coin, and also being
ignorant of the time, and when my hand
has been steady the right time has inva-
riably been struck.
There is something very curious about
this phenomenon. Whether the thread
is influenced by the the pulse in the
aballn of the thumb or whether there is
some unconscious transference of ''inten-
tom from the brain 70 the thread. / do
not know: but in any case the matter is
sufficiently interesting to be worthy of a
critical test by persons who will carefully
and without bias carry out this singular
experiment of telling the time.-Tid Bits.

AS THE RECoRD-UNION yesterday sug-
gested was the probability, it is now dis
covered that the bomb-thrower valiant
was disciple of the American anarchist
section. The infamy of the rascal is
shown by the fact that on the very day
prior to his casting the bomb into the
Chamber of Deputies, and at the man
whom he aimed to kill above all others,
he had been assisted by that man, to
whom he had applied for financial aid.
Of such is the whole school of anarchists.
Here and there there is a sincere man or
woman among them, but as rule they
are scurvy lot. with the brutal strongly
developed in their natures.

of his capacity is the demand. Nothing
short of such dogmatism will be debated
by the anarchist. If you attempt in de-
tail to point out to him the fallacy of his
reasoning, he responds with the bomb
and the torch. In short. there would ap-
pear to be no rostrum upon which the an
archist can be dragged, much less induced
to come for free debate of his claims, even
on the promise to accord to them if he
can in reason maintain them as just
Nevertheless, it would not only be SEN
sible but most desirable to challenge the
anarchist into the public forum-he can
not be there any more dangerous than in
hiding. Even if he should punctuate his
arguments with bomb explosions, the re-
suits would not be more disastrous than
when he casts them without argument.
The record-union., 1893-12-13

THE Lost Angeles Express suggests
that the recent dynamite bomb outrages
emphasizes the necessity for Govern
ments taking charge of the manufacture
of all explosives, or of supervising their
manufacture and disposition. That
would be useless and unwise for the sim
pie reason that these explosives must
pass into very many hands for use in
mechanics and the arts, and therefore it
would be a matter of ease for the
bomb-throwers to get supplies suf-
ficient for their purposes. The Govern
ments would therefore have the expense
of supervision with no compensating re-
suits. Moreover, the explosives, such as
dynamite and giant powder, or those of
like character that will serve the purpose;
can be manufactured easily by anyone
by simple union of chemical compounds.
So that however strict the governmental
watch might be kept over the regular
manufacturers, it would be impossible to
prevent an Individual in the privacy Of
his own rooms from making bombs of
sufficient power to work the scheme of
death and destruction of property.

SINCE Admiral De CANA has gone over
to the Brazilian rebels it is no longer at
tempted to conceal the fact that De CANA
is an imperialist, and that he took his po-
sition as a rebel for the express purpose
of restoring monarchial rule in Brazil.
1t is safe to predict that. no matter what
may happen to the Peixoto Government,
the empire will not be again set up. The
people of Brazil are not in sympathy
with any such movement, and the con-
tending factions under Peixoto will unite
for the purpose of preventing the over
throw of the republic, even if they have
to fight over their own ambitions there

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1893-02-08

The speech of Senator Hill on the sill.
YER bill is one of the most remarkable
efforts at oratory ever recorded.
Mr.. Hill has by it proved his title to
being the great innovator of this gener-
| alton.
His speech is alike unique for what it
does not say and for the contrast which
his diction offers to the polished and
classic orations of some of his prede-
ceSsors.
No one can fail to admire Mr.. Hills
consistency. Known as Tammany
chief and the associate of men who can
be described by no more appropriate
language than "Bowery toughs," Mr..
Hill adapts his words to his character.
Slangy scarcely describes it. 1t was
most discourteous TO the body before
which it was delivered, and disgraceful
alike to himself and his state.
In the midst of his arguments he re-
ferred to the honest money editorials
throughout the country, and declared
that hey jab us with arguments that
won't do" He remarked that the cheap
ness of production of silver was an alb
surd question, an that "the Senate can
scratch it out" The decision of the
Supreme Court regarding the constitu-
tionality of the legal tender act he stig-
matized as judicial dishonor," and
averred that it ought to be pitched
overheard" All discussion that treats sill
yer as a commodity, the learned senator
calls ne-eye-argument," and
the talk of newspapers in favor of the
repeal of the present law he politely de-
scribed as 1.-The draggle- tailed advocacy
of repeal
This is the style Of language adopted
by Senator Hill before the United States
body which Mr.. Gladstone mas
called the most learned intelligent and
ugust assemblage of Legislators in the
world.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1893-02-08
THE RANGE OF LEGISLATION.

The sphere of the average lawmakei
today is unlimited.
Nothing daunts him, and he stops at
no barrier but the limit of his inge-
nuity.
New Jersey Legislators have just pro-
posed bill to limit the telephone
charges in that state. Pennsylvania
has in hand a bill to reduce the price of
gas. New York is attempting to con-
troll the price Of coal. Congress is deal
ing with options, and the Minnesota
solons are gravely discussing PROPOSE
ton to suppress hoop skirts.
Irrational as some of these PROPOSE
tions are they find favor among intelli-
gent men, who do not realize that by
such legislation they are preparing the
way which must inevitably lead to
paternalism and socialism. Some of
these are proper subjects for legislation.
But laying aside the special instances
given the redress for wrongs of such
nature lies wi h the courts, if there is
any wrong that can be proved.
There are many questions between
individuals that are from their nature
personal and not subject to legislation.
There are others in which the masses
are interested which may be expected to
settle themselves according to natural
laws. All of them have heretofore been
carefully excluded from congressional
or state legislation. There are many
subjects upon which authorized bodies
may properly legislate. The list of
subjects upon which they may judici-
ously legislate is much shorter. With
the questions noted above as samples
our national and state governments will
do well to legislate as little as possible,
and consume as little time as possible in
doing it.
The best governed country is the least
governed one.
