the white metal. His visit is an unofficial
one, undertaken purely for his own and his
wife's pleasure, and the lively manner in
which they lave been renewing old friend
ships and making new ones shows the
genuineness of the hearty delight they pro-
Tess at being once again upon our friendly
soil.
M. Bartholdi was detained over night at
quarantine, and the delay gave him a good
opportunity to study his big statue as it
looks at night. He is not quite satisfied
with the present method of lighting it and
said: II must confess l was somewhat dis
appointed at the effect. The lights do not
show up well at all. For appearance sake.
in the daytime 1 would prefer to have the
statue left as it is. But to make it show
off the light better I think it ought to be
gilded. Gliding is the very best background
for either stationary, lash or revolving
lights. For the best possible results of the
lighting, the statue is at present far too
dark. Then again 1 hear that it is wearing
away somewhat rapidly. Now, the gliding
would preserve the statue wonderfully,
But at any rate it should be vanished at
intervals to keep it in a good state of pres
ervation."
NJ. Bartholdi (Frederic Auguste Bar.
tholdl is his full name) is an Alsatian and
was born at Colmar April 2, 1884. His
father, who died while his son was young
left him a considerable patrimony, which
was increased to a fortune by the able
management of his mother, who devoted
herself to the education of her children aft
er their fathers. death. The mother was
famous for her remarkable beauty and
served as the model for her sons great
statue. She died at the ripe old age of 30
only two years ago.
In his youth Bartholdi's art i%nclinations
were in the direction of painting, and he
studied with AIRY Scheffer in Paris for some
time, but finally decided upon sculpture as
the best field for his talents, and to that art
has since devoted himself. Many of his
works have attained worldwide renown,
and his "Lion of Belfort, " a colossal statue
erected in commemoration of the siege of
that city during the Franco russian war,
is only less famous thar his Liberty"
His Lafayette" which was placed in Tn
ion square. New York city, in 1876, has often
been called the finest piece of bronze on the
continent, and for his "Gribeauval," which
is the property of France, he received the
cross of the Legion of Honor.

win which they are guarded and tried
10 bend it. The guard and some of the
gentlemen in the car grappled with him,
ana q furious struggle followed, the
women in the car screaming and rushing
lrantically from side to side to avoid the
struggling men. The glass in the

Populist and Prohibition Nominees For
Governor of Massachusetts.
Massachusetts, has this year in the polit-
ical field what some euphuistic scribe calls
two third party tickets" The reform par
ties have both nominated full state tickets,
and the only point of agreement between
them is that both chose the same day for
their conventions. The gubernatorial can
didate of the Peoples Party is George H.
Cary of Lynn, while the aspirant for the
same honor on the Prohibition ticket is
Rev. Louis Albert Banks, D. D., of Hyde
Park.
George Howard Cary was the Peoples
Party candidate for congress last spring in
the election to fill the vacancy caused by
the selection of Henry Cabot Lodge for
United States senator. Mr.. Cary was bora

from the high school of that place in 1868.

LARGEST sEAscHL1Gur IN II WORLD.

Of the Maguin type and weighs about 500
pounds. It was made in Paris and is the
only part Of the machine not manufac-
tured in the United States. The other end
of the drum is filled up with strips of thick
plate glass. Inside the drum the 6 foot au-
lomatic electric arc light is placed. The
carbons used in the lamp are made espe-
cially for it and lave cores of soft carbon
running through them from end to end.
The maximum current at which the lamp
can be operated is 200 amperes. This cur
rent will give a light of between 10000 and
5000 candles, and the reflector increases
it to 375,000,000 candle power as stated
above.
Looked at from the side, the beam of
light seems to be of comparatively low in
tensity, but when seen from directly in
front its brilliancy is absolutely binding,
and when the current is rapidly alternated
it is like SO many flashes of lightning.
Slowly sweeping the countryside, it brings
every object for miles around into distinct
and brilliant relief on the darkest nights,
and with the aid Of good glasses signs many
miles away can easily be read in it's light.
Turned upward to the zenith, the beam is
apparently lost amid the stars and seems
to make a path of light to heaven which
would have afforded a better means of com
munication with the earth for Jacobs an
gels than the ladder of which he dreamed.
With the aid of a diverging lens an arti-
fetal aurora borealis is produced that must
astonish people miles away who do not
know what causes it. Colored glasses give
some pretty effects also. But none oftheso
tests, though they are good enough in them
selves, gives ar accurate measurement of
the distance the light can penetrate, and
until that is known the true value of the
light will not be demonstrated.
The thimble maker in Machinery hall
generally has an interested audience when
he is at work, and it is not perhaps sur
prising that a large proportion of the look
ers on are usually women. They naturally
feel a curiosity about the manufacture Of
the dainty silver implements with which
they crown their fingers when engaged in
any other opportunity to watch the process,
day by everybody.
The blank thimbles IRE cut and formed
at one operation. Strips of silver about 2
inches wide are fed into Il press, which cuts
a disk and stamps out the little smooth
cups with great rapidity. Then the edges
arc trimmed, the rim turned over and the
ornamental band above the rim cut in by a

lathe. After that the thimble is "knurled,"
as they call the process of putting in the
little cavities that catch the needle. The
knurling tool is a little wheel of hard steel
with teeth cut in it's rim. This is pressed
hard against tn. blank as it revolves rap

A Scientific Riddle.

A German scientific weekly proposed the
riddle, do water wheels run faster at
night than in the daytime-and why?"
Correspondence grew up round the subject,
multiplied reasons, upset them, distorted
them, restated them and finally brought
the question into SO much prominence that
it became ingrafted into the columns of q
French rival across the border. Then the
process began again. At last some one
asks, why not look at a water wheel and
see If it is true?"

New YORK, Sept. 25.-After signing

house for $4,000 purse with five
gloves, Marquis of Queensbury rules,
Mitchell expressed himself as being
thoroughly satisfied. II came here on
business as l stated upon my ARRIVAL"
he said, land that business was to settle
at once for all the question of supremacy
between Corbett and myself. When [
came here and expressed a preference to
fight in New Orleans people set up the
cry that Mitchell was only blnfing and
the 4 told you sos were as thick as
molasses. Now they can see for them
selves whether I was bluffing or not, and
they'll see that I'll be on hand the hight
OF the fight and I'll be there to do the

SO, but if he does, he'll do harder fight
