Sharp Eyes.

We never see everything that is
about us, and no two of us ever see
precisely the same things. Each
sees what his previous training and
his habit of mind have prepared him
to see. When Mr.. Hudson was in
Patagonia he fell in with a gambler,
who told him that always after the
first few rounds of the game he knew
some of the cards as they were dealt;
he recognized them by difference so
slight that another man could not
detect it even when it was pointed
out to him.
Mr.. Hudson is an ornithologist,
and he says that this same prefer
naturally sharp-eyed man was greatly
surprised when he was told that half
a dozen kinds of sparrows were feed
ing and singing about the house. He
had never seen any difference in
them, he said. In size, color, shape,
and actions they were all alike, and
they all sang and twittered alike, SO
far as he had ever noticed.
Native Patagonians, like other
savage peoples, have very keen eyes
for certal things, things which their
modes of life have made it indjspens-
able that they should notice. In
other words, they are specialists, and
as a matter of course they excel in
their own particular line. But it
does not follow that they have better
eyes than are possessed by men of
civilized countries.
Set one Of them to find a reversed
IS" in the middle of printed page,
SAYS Mr.. Hudson, and the tears would
run down his brown cheeks and he
would give up the search with ach-
ing eyeballs. But the proof-reader
can find the reversed letter in few
moments, and never strain his eyes
in the least.

ernors-Ohio, Virginia, Massachu-
sets, Iowa and Wisconsin. These
five will all be closely watched by the
whole country, but the prominence
given to national questions in the
Buckeye fight has tendency to CEN
tralize interest upon it.
Edward J. Bracken, who is the
nominee Of the Peoples party for
Governor, is a veteran in the ranks
of labor agitators. He was formerly
President of the Columbus Trades
Assembly and is a man of more than
ordinary intellectual force and intel
ligence. Recently he has been the
Columbus correspondent for several
journals devoted exclusively to labor's
interests, and in this capacity has as
sisted the passage of many Of the
bills demanded by working men.
Lawrence r. Neal, the Democratic
gubernatorial candidate, is known
the country over as the author of the
tariff plank in the last Democratic
national platform. He is a lawyer
and was City Solicitor Of Chillicothe
in 1867 and member of the Legisla-
ture in the same year. In 1870 he
was Prosecuting Attorney of Ross
County, and in 1872 was sent to Con-
gress from the Seventh District, be-
ing reelected in 1874. He was can
didate for the Democratic nomina-
tion for Governor in 1889, and again
in 1891, but was each time defeated
by Governor Campbell. He was also
before the Democratic caucus for the
United States Senatorship when
Brice was selected. He is native
of Parkersburg, w. Va, fifty years
of age and bachelor.
Of Governor Mckinley, who has
been renominated by the Republi-
cans, little need be said beyond the
statement that he is fifty years of age
and served seven terms as member
of Congress, where he became famous
because of his prominence in tariff
matters. He was elected Governor
in 1891 by plurality of 2l:51l votes.
The particulars Of the financial dis
aster which overlook him last winter
are still fresh in the public mind

1sh control India has prospered-in
English interests; thus the annual
exports OF the country, which amount
ed to So, 600, 900 when British citizens
obtained control, are now over $780,
600, 900. But the condition of the
natives is painful to dwell upon. Out
OF every 1000 natives 900 live in
huts of mud, and majority of them
nave not the necessaries OF life. The
huts are so small that the beds have
to be put out Of doors during the day
time in order to give room for the
family. These beds are rude frames OF
wood covered with a network Of rope
the size Of clothes line The sleeper
uses neither sheets nor pillow. He
sleeps in the clothes which he wears
during the day, and the beds are so
short that he must double himself
up on them. The huts are unfloored
and destitute Of furniture. The fam
lily squat on their heels or sit cross
legged on benches. ,Hhe kitchen uten-
sils are few pots and kettles, and
the eating is done with the fingers.
The floor is often the dining table.
The fuel is the droppngs of the cat
tie, which are gathered up by the
women, mixed and patted into cakes
and laid in the sun to dry.
Benefits of British Rule.
Thus do the natives live while
earning taxes for the British, but it
must be said that good deal of the
money returns for investment in the
soil. There are good roads, many
irrigating canals and numerous hos
pitfalls and schools in the country.
The postal service Of the country is
not inferior to ours, and yearly the
natives are using the mails more and
more. There are now over $4,000
miles of rail routes in India and the
postOff1ces almost pay for themselves.
India has over 100, 600 miles of tele-
graph wire and the English Govern
ment owns all. 1t is the same way
with the railroads. The British
Government owns most of the iron
highways and is continually building

more. Almost 10000 miles Of track
now belong to England. AT Bombay,
Madras, and Calcutta there are great
universities on the model OF the
University of London; there are
ninety-six colleges and the whole OF
the country is dotted with schools.
The people of India are said to be
greatly dissatisfied with British rule,
but lack the courage and cohesion to
throw off the yoke. The Mussulmans
are divided against the Hindoos, and
even the latter are divided among
themselves. Bombay, the seat OF the
distu rbances, contains 200, 900 Mo-
hammedans and 5O0,0 900 Hindoos.
The European quarter of the city Is
second to none in the world in point
of beautiful buildings. The materials
used in their construction are mostly
olive-tinted granite, light, colored
sandstone and dark brick. The ma
tive quarters, however, are wretched'

a WONDERFUL BOAT.
1t Can Make Eight Miles an Hour Through
Two Feet OF Ice.

1t Can Make Eight Miles an Hour Through
Two Feet OF Ice.
The most wonderful ice-crushing
steamboat in the world has been set
aside by one still more wonderful,
saws the New York Sun. Like the
first one, it is built to carry trains of
cars across the Straits of Mackinaw
from Mackinaw City to st. Ignace,
Mich, in connection with the Du-
luth, South Shore and Atlantic Rail-
road, along the southern shores of
Lake Superior.
In those Straits the ice in winter
is prodigiously thick, and when there
is not a solid bridge of clear blue Ice
over the water there is apt to be
wedge of drift ice. The ferry-boats
that carry the heavy trains across
this piece of water are obliged to be
powerful fighters, and they are built
in peculiar way to do their fight
ING. Their bows, which are as solid
and strong as a naval ram, are built
to slope inward and downward, so
that the boats climb up on the ice
and break or crush it down. The
enormous weight or the newest pOaG,
the Ste. Marie, which is 5000, 900
pounds, will crush any ice that 1T
rests upon. Under the bow is pro-
peller screw, which not only pulls the
boat ahead but sucks the water out
from beneath the ice in order that
the ice may be more easily broken.
Then, again, the screw sucks the
broken ice away and casts it behind
as the boat pushes its way along.
This new boat cost more than third
of a million of dollars. She can carry
eighteen loaded cars On her three
tracks and can make fifteen miles an
hour. Her side planks are six inches
thick. and the sides of the vessel are
nearly three feet thick toward the
hottom of the hull She is all coated
With one-quarter inch steel except at
the how and stern, where the steel
mates are two inches thick. The

Artificial Northern Lights.

Artificial miniature auroras of the
borealis variety have been produced
by both De la Rive, the French
savant, and LensJrom, the Swedish
astronomer. In Professor Lenstrom's
experiments, which were made in
Finland, the peak of a high mountain
was surrounded with coil Of wire,
pointed at intervals with tin nibs.
The wire was then charged with
electricity. whereupon a brilliant
aurora appeared above the mountain,
in which spectroscopic analysis re-
vealed the greenish-yellow rays so
characteristic in natures display OF
northern lights. !"

Day VS.. Night.

A scientific writer says that night
is the time which nature utilities for
the growth of plants and animals;
children grow more rapidly during
the night. In the daytime the sys-
tenn is kept busy disposing of the
wastes consequent on activity, but
while asleep the system is free to
extend it's operations beyond the
mere replacing of WORKOUT particle :,
hence the rapid growth. This is why
inyalids need so much rest and sleep.

Funeral of Carter H. Harrisos.

All night long there was the same cease
less procession on either side of the black
casket containing the remains of Carter 81.
Harrison, mayor of Chicago, in the corridor
of the city hall as through the preceding
day. Midnight saw some slight diminution
in the throng compared with the sea of wage
workers that swept around the building at
dusk, but at even that late hour, and from
thence on to daybreak, there was no actual
break in the steady procession. With the COM
ing of dawn and the hurrying down of the
workers to the city, the scenes about the build
ing became more animated. At half past SIX
o'clock people were passing through at the
rate of NINETY minute. At 9 o'clock prob
ably 5000 people were still awaiting admis-
sion at the eastern portIco. The funeral ar
rangements, however, necessitated the doors
being closed.
The route of the procession was from city
hall east on Washington to Michigan av-
enue, thence south to Jackson street, west
to Ashland avenue and north, past the Har-
rison residence, to the Church of the Epi-
phany. Business houses and residences
displayed evidences of mourning in the
form of draped doorways or drawn blinds,
while there was a general hosting of flags
at half mast. The services at the church
were deeply impressive and quite lengthy.
The funeral procession was then reformed
and the route to the grave taken up.

Wide Eff. cts of Courts Decision.

GUTHRIE, o. T., November 6.-The recent
decision of the Kansas supreme court, to the
effect that in every case where the Judge of
court was not present on the first day of q
term of court. and the clerk adjourned court
until the arrival of the Judge, the term be-
came imperative and all proceedings were
illegal and void, will be the result of many
com plications in this territory. Under the
decision two murderers under sentence for
life have been returned to the Jail at Still
water, where several of the illegal terms of
court were held, and will have to be tried
over, costing the county many thousands of
dollars and perhaps resulting in the release
of the prisoners. Scores OF. civil cases and
half hundred or more minor criminal cases
must be tried over, and the extra expense
entailed for jury and court official expenses
will be a heavy burden upon the taxpayers.

PORTLAND, ORE, November Am electric
car, on the Oregon line, containing thirty
passengers, went through an open draw
bridge at Madison street, falling into the
Carpin river. 1t is reported that about
twenty of its occupants were drowned.
The car was the first one coming into Port
land from the suburb of Milwaukee, and Il
was few minutes before o'clock when it
went through the draw. Anumber of physi-
clans and officials of the road have gone to
the scene of the accident. A very heavy fog
prevailed at the time, and it was undoubt-
eddy due to this that the car took its fatal
plunge to the bottom of the river. It is now
reported that at least twenty-five persons
lost their lives. The rescuers are hard at
work. but much difficulty is being encoun-
tered in finding the bodies of the victims.
One body has been brought up. The water
cannot be seen from the bridge as the fog is

Why Wheat and Stocks Fell,

CHICAGO, November "a leading firm of
brokers explains the fall in wheat and in
various stocks as follows:
"The weakness in wheat as we'll as railroad
stocks show how prone spectators are to
trade on theory or some anticipated event,
and not on the supposed movement of the
property dealt in. 1t has been asserted with
such emphasis as to convince hundreds that
the repeal of the purchasing clause of the
Sherman act would infuse life and strength
into speculation and create great boom.
Many acting on this idea had bought liber-
ally and left orders to sell out on the passage
of the measure referred to. The result is
what might have been anticipated. The
shorts had covered. Everybody wanted to
sell and the longs had to unload on them
selves,
