The Photograph.

The name of Photograph" has been
given to newly invented German appa-
ratus founded on the principle of so hang
ing weight that, in consequence of it's
inertia, it takes no part, in given direc-
ton, in the tremblings and oscillations of
the point to which it is suspended. In a
series of experiments with this device,
made on board a twin screw vessel of the
German navy, it appears that the vertical
vibrations always attained their maxi
mum when the horizontal were at their
smallest, and vice versa This phenome-
non was peculiar to twin screw vessels
only and is explained by the difference in
the number of the revolutions of the two
engines and the reaction of the masses of
the moving parts.
The horizontal direction was exactly the
reverse, and the action of the masses of
the heaviest moving parts of the engines
the connecting rods and cranks- neutral
lied each other because they were of equal
size and acted in opposite directions. The
older passenger steamers had much smaller
dimensions, and the engines, as is well
known, ran at much smaller speeds than
those of today. The smaller the length
of the ship, the greater the number per
unit of time of it's vibrations. With the
increase of dimensions the period of the
vibrations become steadily longer, while
the necessarily greater engine power which
was requisite compelled the increase of
the number Of revolutions.-New York

OBITUARY..
Charles widgery Thomas.


The large circle of friends of Mr..
Edward H. Thomas of this city, will
sympathize with him deeply in the death
OF his son, and only child, Charles W,
which occurred at Tucson, Arizona,
last Friday morning.
Mr.. Thomas was born at Burlington,
Iowa, June 30th, 1860, but passed his
boyhood and early youth in and about
Portland, attending the High school and
Little Blue school at Pennington. Re-
moving to Boston, he engaged in literary
work for the Post, Dramatic News and
other papers, and finally associated him
self as business manager with Charles
H. Hoyt in the production of light plays,
the success of which have been I'M
paralleled throughout our large cities,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast.
For the last seven years Mr.. Thomas's
headquarters were in New York, and he
made several trips to Europe on matters
of business and for rest and recreation.
Only last winter he was able to under
take long AID fatiguing journeys and YVES
arduously employed and full Of
energy. An affection of the throat had,
however, been undermining his health
for year. Last June he visited the
Adirondacks but made no steady gain
in strength, and a later journey to
Southern California and Arizona proved
also of no avail
While telegraphic messages and words
of sorrow from those associated with him
in business and social life testify to his
ability and to his many and strong
friendships, it is fitting, too. to mention
his personal qualities. Of remarkably
fine physique and great beauty of
features, Mr.. Thomas's prepossessing
appearance won him admirers who
were afterward attached to him for his
open, generous nature and loyal bear
ing
+. At New Years, upon mis- fathers birth
DAY, he always paid him an annual visit,
and The devotion between the two was
peculiarly strong and tender. A nephew
of Hon. W. W. Thomas, there are numer-
GUS relatives in this city to mourn his
early decease, but the blow will fall most
heavily upon the father, aunt and uncle
in the cheerful kom3 to whose happin SIS
and pleasure he So largely contributed

Railroad Notes.

The United States Investor Saturday,
contained an article denouncing Boston
& Maine interests for forcing the Upper
Coos and Hereford leases upon the Maine
Central. 1t declared that these leases
ought not to sbsnl, as they were executed
in the interest of certain individuals to
the detriment of the Maine Central. 1t
claims that the Upper Coos will show a
deficit this year of $1,000. 1t asserts
that it is not difficult to find well in
formed men who base their explanation
of the recent movement in Maine Central
stock on the hypothesis that an
effort will soon be made to have these
leases nullified.

quarter ending September Both shows a

Human Beings With Tails.

There are at least two we'll authenticat-
ed instances on record of human beings
provided with taillike elongations of the
spinal column. One of these is reported in
the Asiatic Transactions Calcutta. June,
1869, and the other in the journal of the
British Archaeological society. In the
first instance the tailed human was Moi
boy of Cochin-China, the tail being about
foot in length, but without bony con-
nection with the terminus of the spine
The boy was supposed to be IL years old
at the time the report was published, but
the noted oriental scholar who made the
examination has since died, and the
society has lost all track of the, tailed
Chinaman. The second instance mention
ed was reported in the journal of the Brit
ish Anthropological society for July, 1890,
and concerns two tailed Papuans, male
and female, who were brought to England
in the spring of the year last mentioned

The Rev. w. S. McIntire of Biddeford
gave very able and interesting address
on tempereIce here Thursday evening.
His subject was lis Prohibition Fail
ure?" The speaker compared ''the good
old rum times with the present, also
the criminal status of license and prohi-
bition states. Prohibition may not abol.-
ish crime, but it does reduce it to
minimum. Laws are for protection. A
repeal of the prohibitory laws and
resort to license might restore the liq-
uor seller to legal respectability ), but it
sows the seeds of evil. A crop of drunk
ards and criminals is the inevitable re-
suit. High license for a year or two
might bring revenue to the State and
in measure relieve the tax payers of a
portion of their burdens by placing 1t on
the shoulders of pauper and criminal
makers. But ten years from now would
reveal quite another condition of affairs.
A Absolutely prohibition does not pro-
hibit. Laws against arson, theft, muir
der &C., do not. Relatively, no law is a
greater success For the sake of home
and State let us support the prohibitory
law of Maine.

English Views on Our New Navy.
1London St. James Gazette.

ILondon st. James Gazette.
The new, American navy is getting
on, and the first completed battle ship,
the Indiana, will be launched to-mor'
row. She will be one of the most for.
midable vessels in the American ser
vice. She is to be very heavily armed
and armored, and will have 5000 horse
power. The Indiana is only the first
of large number of vessels that are on
the stocks, and it is no use blinking the
fact that in very few years time the
United States will, if she perseveres in
her present course, possess a navy
which will be second to none possessed
by the European powers, and may,
quite possibly, be superior to the best
of them. Even the Inman liners that
have just been placed under the Stars
and Stripes are being much more COM
pletely armed than our own converti-
bic merchant cruisers. These proceed
ings are a warning to all the great
powers, but to none of them is. the
warning more significant than to our
selves.
